Inventory Management
Based on the significant investments made in SCRAM equipment, your equipment
MUST be managed and tracked effectively. SCRAM
NET is your primary tool to ensure
that you can effectively manage your inventory. Simply stated, if you use SCRAM
NET as
your inventory tracking system, you should always know where each device is located as
well as its current status. If a bracelet or modem is lost, it is important to update
SCRAM
NET to reflect the lost unit. Each device will be in one of the following statuses:
• Shipped From AMS – New bracelets and modems are at the Shipped From
AMS status when received from AMS.
• In Inventory – When you receive new bracelets and modems, change the status of
each device to the In Inventory status. Once the status is changed, the equipment
is available for use on clients.
• Pending Assignment – SCRAMNET sets a bracelet and modem to the Pending
Assignment status when each is selected for assignment to a client.
• Assigned to Client – SCRAM
NET sets the assigned bracelet and modem to the
Assigned to Client status when the bracelet is attached to the client’s ankle, and
the modem communicates with the bracelet then communicates with
SCRAM
NET.
• Pending Removal – SCRAM
NET sets the assigned bracelet and/or modem to the
Pending Removal status when an equipment check-in or replacement process is
begun.
• In Transit to AMS – Set the status of each device being returned to AMS to the
In Transit to AMS status prior to shipping.
• At AMS – AMS sets the status of each returned device to the At AMS status
upon receipt.
• Lost – If a device is lost while assigned to a client, set the status to Lost in order
to stop the daily monitoring fee for that device. If a device is lost while in your
inventory, setting the status to Lost ensures that your “spare” inventory count is
properly maintained.
ASSOCIATING EQUIPMENT WITH A NEW SERVICING LOCATION
Once a new servicing location is created in SCRAMNET, you can associate your present
inventory with that servicing location. To accomplish this, compile a serialized list of
which bracelets and modems are physically stored in which servicing location. With the
list in hand, perform the following:
1. Open SCRAM
NET.
2. Click the Inventory link.
3. Click the Go button to view your entire inventory.
4. Select the check box for each bracelet and modem that you want to associate with
a specific location.
