This is a internal conversation regarding 7 series PI:
Please be very clear when doing a 7 series PI press START> then IMMEDIATLY press SAVE. press Save after every download or every 10-15 minutes if entering manually.
Had a client not press save on thier start, since they didnt enter any manual counts they didnt save so thier start wasnt saved.
SO START>SAVE> SAVE EVERY 10 to 15 minutes
Reply:
I tell them to save after every download.
The big word I have them write on their notes is SAVE, SAVE, SAVE. I make sure they know they cant save ENOUGH

that is great, but in this case they were told to save after every download or ever 15 minutes between manual entries. they were not using PT's so they were not doing downloads. they were told to save every 10 to 15 after manual entries, but they didnt do any manual entries into the PC they did it on count sheets to be entered at a later date, THUS THE POINT, START> THEN IMMEDIATLY SAVE. then it has nothing to do with when counts get entered. Start takes the picture and you save it, then if all the inventory gets counted when the store is closed they can enter the counts when ever since the begining quantites are saved correctly. this would also appy to RGIS. PRESS START AND SAVE when RGIS starts counting, when you get the disk doesnt matter the Begining Quantities are OK.
I am going to post this to the blog for clients as well.START>SAVE, save save save...
