Have you ever been in the middle of creating a new agreement and hit a snag due to a stubborn, locked, incorrect inventory item status or location? It can feel like you’re stuck in the mud, but the fix is easier than you might think.
In this post, we’ll guide you through the process of updating an inventory item’s incorrect status or location that appears “locked” in cynergi|suite. We’ll also explain what typically causes this hiccup to help you avoid running into an incorrectly locked-in-place inventory item when working on future agreements.
When in doubt, you can always contact the cynergi|suite Support team to help walk you through the process.
Ready to crack the mystery of the locked inventory item? Let’s dive in.
An incorrectly locked inventory item status or location typically occurs while creating an agreement if an error occurs with connectivity or versioning.
Unexpectedly, an inventory item status or location may lock if the system loses connection while you are in the process of creating an agreement.
For example, if the network connection drops suddenly and the item was previously marked with the incorrect status or location, cynergi|suite may recognize the lost connection as closing the record, locking the item’s record in place.
Additionally, an inventory item’s status or location may lock incorrectly if you attempt to create an agreement across multiple workstations.
For example, in this scenario, you start creating an agreement on one computer. While creating the agreement, the customer asks a question, and you show them something across the store. There’s another computer conveniently located nearby across the store, but when you go to complete setting up the agreement, the inventory item is locked with the wrong status or location.
To correct an inventory item with an incorrectly locked status, you need to use Inventory Lookup and review the item’s Location (Loc) and Status.
