Enabling the Background Inventory function
Use the Bkgr inventory setting to define how the Background Inventory setting
appears in the Options: General screen.
• With background inventory enabled, as you use the DLA, the DLA collects Item
IDs from each tag that the DLA reads and automatically saves them in the
Inventory category.
• When Data Manager software imports the collection data, the background-
inventory text files are saved to the Inventory collection category.
• To check the number of Item IDs stored in the Inventory category, select Setup
Lists from the Home screen.
Data Manager software automatically creates the Inventory collection category on the memory card. This
category is reserved for background inventory only.
Background inventory settings
User choice – Allows staff to turn background inventory on and off from the Options: General screen.
Always on – Keeps background inventory on all the time, and removes the Background Inventory selection
from the staff Options: General screen. This ensures that staff cannot inadvertently turn the background
inventory function off.
Always off – Keeps background inventory off all the
time, and removes the Background Inventory selection
from the staff Options: General screen.
Setting order limits
Order Limit settings define the order limit range for
each of the three Item Width settings (thin, medium,
and thick) that appear in the Options: General dialog
box.
To access the Order Limits settings, enter Admin mode
and select Settings from the Admin menu.
Any shelf-order errors that occur within the order limit
range will not be reported.
Example: If the order limit range is set to four, the
order-limit range extends four items on both sides of a
misshelved item.
• Errors are reported if the misshelved item is five or
more items away from its correct location (outside
