Introduction

This is the screen onto which you enter the various assets that need to be tracked. These items are given to employees and must be recovered if the employee quits. The items that can be used on the Employee Inventory screen must be entered here first. You can also use this for items that are not tangible like reminders to change passwords.
 

Adding, Editing and Deleting

To add a new Inventory Item, go to the bottom of the list and add it into the bottom blank record. After entering the Item Code, you will have to select the Section to which it belongs. This is because the Employee Inventory report is separated into sections. Finally, you can set the sort order. You can reuse the sort order since it will be sorted, in pull down lists and on reports, first by the section sort and then by the inventory item's Sort column's value. Like in the picture above, if you set several from the same section to the same sort number, then they will be sorted alphabetically.

It is important to note, that if you change a code, then any employee that has that code will get the new code instead. This makes it easy to correct spelling errors, but you should be careful if you make a substantial change like changing calculator to camera. It is best to add in a new item instead in such instances.

When it comes to deleting a record, it may be possible. To delete a record, click on the grey area to the left of the item code before pressing the Delete key on the keyboard.  You will not be able to delete an item that is in use. If it is not in use, you will be asked to confirm that you want to delete one record.
