Warehouse · Counts
Works offlinePhysical inventory and cycle counts, without paper
Two modes for two kinds of companies: a general count for locations without advanced warehousing, and cycle counts driven by Business Central counting periods.
Quick answer
Plur-e Inventory Counts supports two procedures. General Inventory Count is for companies without advanced warehousing: pick the batch, scan each item, enter the physical quantity and Plur-e creates positive or negative adjustment lines in the Business Central physical inventory journal. Inventory Cycle Count works with Business Central's Calculate Inventory and counting periods: select the batch, scan, enter quantities, sync and post the journal in Business Central.
Counting stops the warehouse for a day
Printed count sheets, re-typing, a second pass to fix discrepancies. With Plur-e the count is the data entry: scan, type the quantity, and the journal lines are already in Business Central for review.

How it works
Inventory Counts: how it works
Prepare the batch in Business Central
For cycle counts, run Calculate Inventory (by filters or by counting period) on a physical inventory journal batch. For general counts no preload is needed.
Choose company, location and mode in Plur-e
The default location comes from the user's preferences in the Admin Center. Pick General Inventory Count or Inventory Cycle Count, then Physical Inventory.
Select the batch
The batch stores the count. Its existing lines in Business Central are overwritten by Plur-e's results, and it cannot be changed mid-count.
Scan and enter quantities
Scan the label and type the physical quantity. Less than calculated → negative adjustment; new item or zero calculated → positive; more than calculated → positive. Use Edit to correct a line.
Finish, verify, post
Tap Finish and wait for the sync confirmation. Review the journal lines in Business Central, then post.
