FAQs: Why would I use the Include option in the Count Sheet Editor?

Q: Why would I use the Include option in the Count Sheet Editor?

A: The Include dropdown in the Count Sheet Editor offers three key options designed to streamline your workflow:

1. (none): By default, this option will be selected when creating a Count Sheet. If you do not want to build a count sheet using one of the include options use this preset.
   
   
2. Include ALL items in the store: Every item in the store’s inventory will appear on the count sheet.
   
1.  Useful for full inventory counts  where you want to count every single item in stock using a single Count Sheet.
   
   
3. Include all items in the store that do NOT belong to any locations: Only items without a location assignment are included.
1. Select this option to identify any items missing a location assignment and proactively assign them a location. It’s especially useful during a location-based physical inventory, ensuring those items are counted.
   
   
4. Include all items in the store that are NOT on any other count sheet: Includes only items that do not already exist on another count sheet.
   
1. This option is helpful before a physical inventory to proactively identify unassigned items and place them on the correct count sheet. It can also be used during a physical inventory to ensure no items are overlooked in the count.
   

Note: With these include options, items are generated only at the time of printing. They won’t display at the bottom of the Count Sheet Editor as they do when a Count Sheet is created manually. To see the list of items, select Print Count Sheet at the bottom of the Count Sheet Editor.
