Note:

  • Make sure no open tasks (picking, movement, packing) exist before auditing and changing stock for a position.

  • It is not possible to create multiple counting tasks for the same position

Counting tasks are accessed via the menu item Counting tasks (1). In that view it is possible to filter counting tasks according to status (2) or create new counting tasks (3).

Counting tasks of the following types can be generated:

  • Product and position: The product and the position that should be counted are specified. Only positions containing the respective product are available when creating the task.

  • Position: Only the position is specified. All products in that position need to be counted.

  • Multiple: Extension to type Positions allowing you create multiple counting tasks based on the set of parameters:

    • Warehouse zone

    • Position parameters: Hallway, row, rack, level, position.

    • Product tags

    • Position tags

    • Position availability

      After selecting the parameters, click Calculate, and the system will show you the positions relevant to the request.


In the provided example, the calculation has been performed for the:

  • Model Zone

  • Row 2

  • Position tag "ANUA"

  • Product tag "Counting"

  • Position available

Calculation returned 1 location, and the user can click Create to create task(s) for all positions matching the criteria at once.

Counting tasks can have one of the following states:

  • Open: The counting task is waiting to be processed.

  • In progress: The warehouse worker accepted the task in the PULPO WMS Android App. The task must be processed after being accepted.

  • Finished: The counting task is finished by the warehouse worker in PULPO WMS Android App and now waiting to be audited in the Web App.

  • Closed: The task has been audited in the Web App. Existing stock changes were logged in PULPO WMS.

  • Cancelled: The task has been cancelled before being finished.

After creating, the tasks can be executed in the Mobile App

Then the user has to Audit the results to add the stock to the warehouse
