Inventory - Add OTY and substract OTY with Barcode scanner
Dear SS Team,
since i am still quite new, i need your help. I would like to manage our inventory with smartsheet, I would like to do it with the barcode scanner. how can I create a form that adds / subtracts from the inventory and then returns to the current inventory qty. that should work the next time you enter other vlues(oty) as well. A sample sheet/form would be vary helpfull. Many thanks in advance.

This can be done with a two sheet solution. The first sheet being a list of you SKU numbers and on hand inventory. The second sheet would be an intake sheet that uses a form to collect the SKU number by using the mobile app and the barcode reader. the user would select if the inventory is incoming or outgoing and scan the barcode then enter the qty.
below are some screen shots of the example

Dear RossL,
i will try it and come back to you, thanks again for your swift respond.
-
Were you able to get this up and running?

I just try it yesterday, it took me some time to change (and understand) the forumlar, but finaly it works. thanks so far.
But what happen when the Intake sheet is full, i hear there will be a limit of rows?
And a other question, is it possible to show the name of the scanned item at the form?
-
Glad you got it working!
The limit is 20 000 rows. When do you think you will hit the limit?
The way to show the name in the form would be to create URL links for each item with a URL-query that pre-fills some information like the name.
Would that work?
I hope that helps!
Be safe and have a fantastic week!
Best,

Dear All,
the two sheets works a while but now no more, asa i can see if i scan a barcode it will apers always a apostrophe in front of the nummber, could be that the problem?
-
Yes, that is probably the issue. It's read as text because of it.
I'd be happy to take a quick look.
Can you describe your process in more detail and maybe share the sheet(s)/copies of the sheet(s) or some screenshots? (Delete/replace any confidential/sensitive information before sharing) That would make it easier to help. (share too, andree@getdone.se)

Hello All,
Thank you for all of these very helpful posts. I'm new to smartsheets as well and working on setting up an inventory system for my company. I'm struggling a bit with the formulas here and was hoping someone could help.
I'd like the warehouse inventory sheet to add up all matching SKU's on the Warehouse inventory transfer page.
If you see where I went wrong and could point me in the right direction I'd be extremely grateful. Thank you all! -James
