Processing of waste within RetailVista and RetailVista Mobile

This document describes how to process product loss within RetailVista and RetailVista Mobile.

Product loss can now be processed using the "Product Loss" module. This allows for a relatively simple way to book product loss within RetailVista. Before this can be used, a few configurations need to be set up in the back office. The first step is to create the product loss types so that you can distinguish between different types of product loss.

Enter the term "Product loss types" in the administration menu:

Then create the product loss type(s):

Below you can see an example of 2 created product loss types:

Now that these configurations have been set up, you can start processing product loss. This can be done through the scanner, a product list, or manually per line. The following method shows how this is done using RetailVista Mobile (Note that the "Product Loss" application needs to be activated for RetailVista Mobile).

Open the product loss module, as shown below:

Then start entering the product(s) by scanning the barcode.

After scanning the barcode, you will arrive at the screen below.

Here, the product loss type, quantity, and description need to be entered.

Then, choose "Save" to record the information and return to the input screen to enter a new product.

Finally, in the back office, within the inventory module, you can select the product loss option to view the results.

Below is a line that has been processed:

By opening the line, you can see the content of the line:

It is also possible to process it as a product through the back office using a product list.

The products can then be placed in a product list via RetailVista Mobile and the product list can then be forwarded to derving in the back office, see the example below:

After forwarding the data, they will be visible again in the inventory > derving module.

There are also two reports (report 204 and 205) that can be used and optionally printed/viewed for the products processed through derving.

These are also available in the "Inventory" module under the inventory reports.
