To put it simply, in Gimme, product is either considered in the warehouse or placed in a POS.
Once product is picked, it is considered "placed" until the completed visit says otherwise.
Details about product flow and bring backs:
Product is ordered from a vendor and recorded in the Purchase Orders Tab as a Purchase Order.
New products are created in Gimme on the Product screen.
Product is received in the warehouse in 4 different ways:
-
-
- In VMS: Creating a New Receipt on the Receipts tab of the Warehouses screen
- In Gimme Field: Receive Items from the Warehouses screen (creates a receipt in VMS)
- Transfers from another warehouse
- Bring backs
-
After a visit is completed in Gimme Field, bring backs are automatically attributed to the on-hand quantity in the warehouse. If a POS is assigned a warehouse, the product will be placed there. If no POS is assigned, product is placed in the route's assigned warehouse. View details about bring backs by navigating to the Reports page and select the Global Report: Bring Backs
Bring backs are calculated based on the route driver's input into Gimme Field. This is why it is important for Gimme Field users to verify the start values of products and how much they add.
Products spoiled or removed during a visit are not added back into the assigned warehouse; however, they are tracked on the global Bring Backs report.
