Add many items at once

  • IMPORT EXPIRED ITEMS adds items that have expired by the date in CHANGE BASE EXPIRY (today by default).
  • IMPORT A CONSIGNORS ITEMS adds one consignor's items. Use the SEARCH button beside it to pick the contract first.
  • TAKE OUT THE FULL ON-HAND QUANTITY takes every unit of each imported item. Untick it to take 1 of each.

Note: an import clears the item list and builds a new one. Imports are limited to 1,000 items, starting from the oldest expired.

Step 4: Check the item list

Every item you've added is listed in the TAKE-OUT ITEMLIST with its SKU, quantity, price, expiry, contract and status.

  1. To change an item, click the edit icon in its ALTER column. Its SKU, quantity, notes and status fill in above the list.
  2. Change the QUANTITY, NOTES or STATUS, then click SAVE CHANGES. To drop the item from the take-out, click DELETE ITEM instead.
