[Question:]

Question:  I see the menu option LIST in Operations.  Can you tell me what it is and how I can use it?

Answer: The function allows you to load items onto a grid and save them. You can then load them again and the format matches the current grid format. You may also load a list from an ASCII file. You may compare two lists and load all matching items or all items that don’t match. Each grid where Lists is available shows a menu item called List. The options in this menu are: Load, Save, Load from File, Save to File, Load Similarities, Load Differences, and Exceptions.

So how can Lists help you?  Here are some examples:

Create a list of all containers picked up from one customer in a day. Save it and compare it to a list of containers scanned onto shelves for that customer on the same day. Load the differences to ensure that they were all put away and charged for.

Your customer gives you an ASCII list of containers that you are to pick up. Compare it to the list of containers that you actually did pick up that day and load the differences. You can work out any variances with your customers right away.

Create a list of containers to be destroyed this month for a customer, then compare it to a list of their containers that had activity the previous month. Load the Similarities from both lists and let the customer know that those containers are still active.

Have fun and remember... keep a list.
