Adding inventory to WholeCell by ESN is the best method with a single device or a group of devices that are all the same model.
There are five steps:
ESN
Device
Functionality
Grade
Review
First, go to the purchase order that you received the device(s) and click the +Add Inventory button. Then, choose Advanced Form.
1. ESN
Now you can enter the ESN(s) of your devices.
If you're adding inventory of varying device models or conditions we recommend uploading inventory by Spreadsheet.
2. Device
Select the device's manufacturer, model, variant, and other attributes in the device section menu:
Here we've chosen an Apple iPhone 7 A1660 128GB Black Verizon.
If you can't find a record for the model you're adding, click the Add a new Product link:
This will allow you to add a new product record to your Device Catalog, which you can manage in your Product Catalog.
3. Functionality
In WholeCell we describe a device's functional condition with Damage Conditions. A device is either Fully Functional (with no damage conditions), or it may have any number of conditions that you can manage in Product Catalog > Damage Conditions.
When you click on Damaged, a list of available conditions will drop down. Choose whichever conditions are appropriate for the device(s) you're adding:
4. Grade
Choose whichever grade suits the device(s) you're adding by clicking on the appropriate box. Grades can be managed in Product Catalog > Grades.
5. Review
Look over the details in the review box. You can add an internal note which will appear on the specific pages for each inventory item.
If everything is accurate, click Save.
Once saved you'll be able to print inventory labels and choose between adding more inventory to the PO, or going back to view the PO itself.
