How to add more objects of an existing product in inventory across locations
There are two ways to add more objects of an existing product in your inventory:
- Add objects on the product page - Find the product in inventory and quickly add more objects.
- Survey and get a match to an existing product - Through image recognition, Loopfront can find existing products you already have in your inventory and automatically fill out data.
Add objects on the product page
Find the product in inventory, and click on it to go to the product page with object overview.
Click on the "Add object" button in the top right corner. Choose whether you want to register single objects or register objects in bulk.
Single - Register objects with different condition, locations, individual QR codes, placement, etc.
Register in bulk - Register multiple objects at once as long as they all have the same properties, such as condition and location, etc.
If you are registering objects in bulk: Select the number of objects and add information, such as condition and location. You can also add additional details such as current placement, year of manufacture, remaining life, reusability level, and current value, by clicking "Add more fields".
When you have filled out information about the objects, click "Continue".
If you are registering single objects: Add information about your first object, such as condition, location, or add a QR code. You can also add additional details such as current location, year of manufacture, remaining life, reusability level, ID number, and current value, by clicking "Add more fields".
Click on "Add object #2" to add more objects and continue until you have added all the additional objects you want to register before clicking on "Continue".
The object(s) have been added, the total amount has been updated, and you can find the recently added objects in the object overview list on the product page.
Survey and get a match to an existing product
Sometimes you can forget what you already have registered in your inventory, and your colleagues or external surveyors, don't necessarily have overview of all your locations. Luckily Loopfront knows what you already have and can suggest similar products in your inventory that match with the items being surveyed, through image recognition.
In this way, exact product matches being surveyed will automatically get all the same data as the existing product in your inventory, and will be added to the total amount across locations, and to the object overview on the product page.
