When there is a need to remove Equipment from the On Hand amount in the Warehouse, Bulk Update can be used to accomplish this task. In order to remove Equipment from the On Hand amount, an "Unavailable" Status must be chosen. The Status dropdown for Bulk Update that contains the Unavailable Statuses is found hereafter either the button or the button is selected.
The following Statuses are considered to be "Unavailable" Statuses and have the ability to remove Equipment from the the On-Hand Status Status Column in the Warehouse:
Assigned
Retired
Broken
Lost
On Order
Returned
Staged
Picked Up
Installed
Note: The 'Unassigned' Status will remove Equipment from the other Statuses and insert them back into the 'On Hand' Status in the Warehouse with Bulk Update.
...
This is useful if there is ever a massive recall of a specific piece of Equipment or if a job or an installation requires a large amount of Equipment (i.e. setting up a new facility). We urge extreme caution when using Bulk Update to remove Equipment from Inventory. Bulk Updates Updates cannot be undone, so errors (updating too much or wrong type of Equipment) will have adverse effects on Inventory tracking.
To verify if you were successfully able to remove Equipment from Inventory Counts, please see the Reporting on Inventory Wiki page.
