Introduction

In most cases, you shouldn't have to edit an inventory time. The inventory start and end times reflect when the count started and finished in your venue.

This is called the Inventory Duration.

You should only edit a time if it's wrong due to either:

  1. Starting a new inventory count before you actually started counting

  2. Finishing a count but submitting it later

The most important thing is that you don't want your inventory time to fall within a period that your venue has sales. You can't properly take inventory if items are being sold while counting.

If you need to adjust the start or end time of an inventory count, you can do this in the WISK Web Portal or the mobile app.

WISK Web Portal

  1. Go to the Inventories Page

    An arrow points to the "Inventories" menu option.
  2. Click the details button beside the inventory you want to edit

    An arrow points to the "Details" button.

  3. Click the pencil icon that displays in the "Inventory duration" field

    An arrow points to the pencil icon.

  4. A calendar window opens and you can adjust the start or end date/time. In this example, we completed the inventory count but didn't submit it until a few days later. The inventory time spans over a few days where we've had sales in the venue. We need to adjust the end time to reflect when we finished the count.

  5. Click a new date on the calendar, and the time to set a new time
