Keep earlier finished summaries

Closed checks refuse scans; reopening needs a reason and retains the earlier summary.

For operators

Read these instructions on any device. Watch or practise a chapter on a desktop or laptop, with a desktop or mobile application layout. Demonstrations use sample data and simulated scanners.

Keep earlier finished summaries

  1. Start a manifest check

    Start a manifest check.

    Check distinct IDs against a reviewed local list. This synthetic lesson never confirms physical contents or despatch.

  2. Choose the prepared manifest

    Choose the prepared manifest.

    The prepared CSV enters the real file input. Each listed carton has its own exact ID; this is not a quantity list.

  3. Map the exact ID column

    Map the exact ID column.

    Choose Label for the carton IDs. Leading zeroes remain significant.

  4. Map the descriptions

    Map the descriptions.

    Choose Text for the description. The Ignore column stays outside the retained snapshot.

  5. Name the manifest snapshot

    Name the manifest snapshot.

    Give this reviewed snapshot a recognisable name. A name and date are local context, not verified authority.

  6. Declare the list date

    Declare the list date.

    This declared source date does not prove that a manifest is current.

  7. Confirm distinct physical IDs

    Confirm distinct physical IDs.

    Confirm that every row is a distinct carton, pallet or serial ID, never a repeated SKU representing a quantity.

  8. Load the reviewed manifest

    Load the reviewed manifest.

    The real reader validates three unique IDs and keeps only the mapped columns. A pallet ID never implies its child cartons were checked.

  9. Record the first listed ID

    Record the first listed ID.

    The exact listed ID counts once. This keyboard submission is a local observation, not proof that goods were loaded.

  10. Review coverage and exceptions

    Review coverage and exceptions.

    Review missing, unexpected and repeated observations independently before finishing or exporting.

  11. Freeze the local summary

    Freeze the local summary.

    Finishing freezes the current coverage and exceptions. It does not approve a load, confirm carton contents or book despatch.

  12. Observe that a finished check is paused

    Observe that a finished check is paused.

    The genuine scan control refuses further observations until the check is reopened with a reason.

  13. Review coverage and exceptions

    Review coverage and exceptions.

    Review missing, unexpected and repeated observations independently before finishing or exporting.

  14. Reopen with a recorded reason

    Reopen with a recorded reason.

    The earlier finished summary stays intact. Enter a reason before adding observations or corrections.

  15. Return to scanning

    Return to scanning.

    Continue with the existing list and retained history.

  16. Record the second listed ID

    Record the second listed ID.

    The exact listed ID counts once. This keyboard submission is a local observation, not proof that goods were loaded.

  17. Record the third listed ID

    Record the third listed ID.

    The exact listed ID counts once. This keyboard submission is a local observation, not proof that goods were loaded.

  18. Review coverage and exceptions

    Review coverage and exceptions.

    Review missing, unexpected and repeated observations independently before finishing or exporting.

  19. Freeze the local summary

    Freeze the local summary.

    Finishing freezes the current coverage and exceptions. It does not approve a load, confirm carton contents or book despatch.

  20. Inspect both retained finished summaries

    Inspect both retained finished summaries.

    The first summary remains at one ID seen. The later summary records complete coverage, without changing the earlier observation.
