portable data entry

thanks for all the thoughts about using portable devices for data entry!
you mentioned several good thoughts.

1. the existing practice is not guaranteed to be accurate. if the
stockroom staff enters a wrong qty on the paper that the data entry
person enters from, you have the same error. ( and we just had this when
a person pulled 1000 but wrote down 100)
2. you can write audits that compare the transaction qtys against the
expected qty's within bpcs.
3. use cycle count to verify! if the transactions are being entered
properly, the variances will be minimal, if they are not, look into the
process to find the error.

thanks again for the input and suggestions!
