StockWise

StockWise is designed to allow warehouse managers and staff to manage stock items on a mobile device. Stock counts, stock checks, item edits & Purchase order management can be handled right on the warehouse floor using a simple, intuitive interface tailored to smaller screens. Available on phones, tablets & Android scan guns, the main goal of StockWise is to give users the flexibility to manage their stock items, without having to use a full desktop interface.

To book new stock into your Linnworks database, expand the menu and select Stock In.

Search for an item.

Tap the number field, and enter the amount you are booking in.

Click the Book In button.

If you have any purchase orders for the item, StockWise will show them to you.

If you want to mark off any amount of your booked in value against an existing purchase order, click the QTY field, and enter the amount you want to book in against the purchase order.

You can split the amount between multiple purchase orders if you need to.

If you want to book stock in against a purchase order, click the GREEN button.

If you don't want to book any stock in against the purchase order, and just want to book the stock in directly, click the BLUE button.

Selecting Many will ask you to enter an amount after each search or scan.

Admin Mode & Permissions

To enable Admin Mode in StockWise, expand the menu at the top right hand corner of the screen, find the 'Toggle Admin Mode' option and select enable. To find out more about Admin Mode, click here.

To turn off Admin Mode, expand the menu again, and disable the same setting.


Settings

To open your StockWise settings, expand the menu and click Settings.

If you are using a barcode scanner, you can enable the auto clear option to tell StockWise to remove all the text in the search field once you have finished using a screen. This is great for barcode scanners, as the field will be empty and ready to go the next time you want to scan something.

When you search for an stock item in Stock Enquiry, and only one item is returned, you can choose to have StockWise immediately open the enquiry page for the item, instead of displaying the search results. You can turn this feature on individually for searching by SKU or barcode.

When StockWise displays a list of stock items after a successful search or scan, it can display one piece of primary information.

You can use this option to customise what data StockWise will show in this space, so you can have the most important information to hand as quickly as possible.

To change what warehouse location StockWise returns product data from by using the location picker.
