Deleting Inventory Files

Once the inventory process has been completed, you can delete one or more inventory files for selected locations in preparation of a new inventory for the locations.

To clear inventory files:

1. From the CAT Admin menu, select Inventory - Delete Inventory File.
   • The Clear Inventory File screen displays. The screen shows a listing of “master” inventory files for all locations for which inventory is currently in process, or which were previously inventoried. Each line in the list provides the following information:

• Location – the location with which the inventory file is associated
• Last Report – the most recent date on which an inventory report for the associated location was requested
• Last Data Load – the most recent date on which data was added to the inventory file (by either Online Barcode Entry or through the Load Inventory function)
• Last Cleared – the most recent date on which the contents of the inventory file were cleared (deleted)
• Comments – any system generated comments associated with the inventory file

• If desired, you can reconfigure, sort and filter table content (see the System Basics User Guide for details).

2. To clear a single inventory file, click the Clear File link for the Location for which you wish to clear the inventory file.
   • The current contents of the selected inventory file is cleared, and the Clear Inventory File screen refreshes with the Last Cleared field for the inventory file updated to the current calendar date.
3. To clear one or more selected inventory files:
   • Select the checkbox for each Location for which you wish to clear the inventory file.
     • A checkmark indicates the inventory file for the associated Location will be cleared.
     • An empty checkbox indicates the inventory file for the associated Location will not be cleared.
     • Clicking a checkbox repeatedly will toggle it on and off
     • Click the Select All link to select the checkboxes for all Locations.
     • Click the Deselect All link to deselect the checkboxes for all Locations.
   • When the checkboxes for all desired locations have been selected, click the Clear Selected link.
     • The current contents of the inventory files for the selected Locations is cleared, and the Clear Inventory File screen refreshes with the Last Cleared field for the inventory files updated to the current calendar date.
