Home > Inventory Control > Inventory Processing > Batch Updating
You must update inventory batches in order for your inventory to be correct. When you enter physical inventory, create miscellaneous postings, enter purchase orders, and receive purchase orders, you need to update your inventory batches. If things are sitting in un-updated batches, your count will not be correct,
The batches will be on the workstation where the transactions were posted. A separate batch is created at POS End of Day Close, and this batch needs to be updated. The batch will be on the workstation where POS End of Day was done, unless a special parameter was set to send it to a different designated workstation. See Inventory Setup > Parameter Settings.
Most of the time, when you exit a screen, a popup will ask if you want to print and update the batch, to which you should answer "Yes."
A second prompt will verify that you want to update the batch.
Answer "Yes" unless you want to review the batch first.
Answer "No" to print the batch without updating. After you review the batch, make sure to go back and update it.
You should also go to Miscellaneous Postings at least once a day to see if there is anything in your batch that was not updated. If there are, update the batch.
Print and Update Transaction Batch
Go to Inventory (or Inventory Control) and select Print and Update Postings (or Print and Update Transaction Batch.)
