PAR Counts

You can improve your efficiency by entering Periodic Automatic Replenishment (PAR) counts using a mobile device in real time, as well as in offline mode.

A PAR location is a stock area from which you can take consumable items. The counting and recording of some quantity doesn't replenish a PAR location.

Here’s what you can do with mobile PAR counts:

• Scan PAR locations using an external barcode device.
• Invoke the camera on your mobile device to scan a PAR location or enter the PAR location manually by choosing from a list of values.
• The Last Counted On date helps you identify when the item was last counted for a specific PAR location.
• Trigger replenishment of the items with the two-bin count method or the order PAR replenishment count type by scanning the items.
• The Override Replenishment Quantity feature allows you to override the default Order PAR count type.
• Enter the quantity to order and the counted quantity for items with a replenishment count type of Order Quantity and On-Hand Quantity respectively.
• Receive a confirmation message when you do an End PAR Count action for a PAR location.
• Switch to another PAR location within the same organization if you're done with PAR counts for one PAR location.

Offline Mode

When offline, you can perform PAR counts for PAR locations that don't have internet connectivity. Before you go offline, you need to connect to Oracle Cloud to choose the organization for your PAR counts. This caches the data for all the PAR locations in the chosen organization and lets you work offline.

You can record your PAR counts the same way you do in the online mode while you work offline. The PAR counts that you record when offline, sync with Oracle Cloud as soon as your mobile device detects an internet connection.

This feature increases your organization's efficiency by providing the flexibility to perform your PAR counts in real time.
