How to scan a container and record stock in YakProject

Company and above

Stock records are only useful if they are kept as things happen. Scanning the label on a drum or tank brings up that container, and one tap records what was used, counted or moved, even without signal.

Transcript

Scan a container's label in YakProject, and record what happened to it in a few seconds.

On Scan and record, select Scan with camera and point the phone at the label. Or type the code printed under it, and select Find. The diesel tank opens with its current figure.

Under What happened, choose the movement: use, issue to the crew, count, move, refill, return, measure or dispose. Here, fuel was used.

Enter the quantity, add a note if it helps, and select Record. The tank's figure drops straight away. Offline, the record waits on the phone and uploads when there's signal.

Steps

    On Scan & record, select Scan with camera and point it at the label's QR code, or enter the code printed under it (or the container's tag) in Container code and select Find. The container opens with its current quantity.
