About the HT730 Stock Counter

Refer to the full Stock Counter manual for detailed instructions, but here are the key functions you need to know:

The HT730 features a touchscreen that allows you to select products and scroll through your product list.
If left idle, the device will timeout. Depending on how long it has been inactive, you may:
- Simply swipe up from the blue screen saver to return to the app, or
- Need to power on the device.

Don’t worry—your count is not lost. Any in-progress counts will remain exactly as you last left them.

Counts in progress will stay on the HT730 until you overwrite them by importing a new product list from POS Manager.
If there is an unsaved count on the device when you try to import a new list, you’ll receive a warning message.
Importing a new product list will erase any unsaved counts. Counts that have been saved will remain on the device until manually cleared.

Counting Process: Overview

There are 3 main steps:

Export product list from POS Manager to HT730.
Perform your physical count.
Export your count data from HT730 to POS Manager.

Exporting Your Product List to the HT730

Important: Exporting is a two-step process:

Export the product list from POS Manager to the HT730.
Load the product list on the HT730 to begin counting.

You can export a new product list to the HT730 while a previous count is still in progress. However, once you perform Step 2 (Load Products on the device), it will erase any unsaved count, and you will receive a warning message.

Steps to Export Product List

Connect the HT730 to the POS Manager computer via USB-C.
Turn on the HT730 and open the Barnet Inventory App.
In POS Manager, navigate to: Inventory>Closing Count>Export Product Items to Stock Counter.

When prompted:

Select ‘YES’ if you want to include On Hand quantities in your count.
Select ‘NO’ for a blind count (On Hand quantities will not display).

Choose your product filter:

You will be given the option to export:

All Categories
All Locations
All Vendors …or you can choose specific ones.

Two Options Available:

OPTION A: Export only the specific Category, Location, or Vendor you are planning to count.

Choose Specific Filters:

First, select your filter type (Category, Location, or Vendor).
Press “ADD” – this opens the available list.
You can:
- Highlight multiple entries in sequence, or
- Double-click each entry individually.
Once selected, press “APPLY” to finalize your choices.

OPTION B: Export all product items to the Stock Counter, then enable “Export Counted Items Only” in the Inventory App Settings on the HT730 before exporting back to POS Manager.

Which option should you choose?

If there's a chance that SKUs are incorrectly categorized in POS Manager (e.g., in the wrong location or vendor group), use Option B to ensure you don’t miss anything during your physical count.
If you're confident your product setup is accurate, Option A will keep your count list shorter and easier to work with.

A confirmation window will appear asking you to confirm the Stock Counter. It should display "Unitech HT730" – press “OK”.

A second confirmation window will appear on your computer – press “OK” again to complete the export process.

Load Product List on the HT730

After exporting from POS Manager, your HT730 will display the message: “Count Data Loaded – New Count Data Available.”

To begin the count:

Tap the three dots in the top right corner to open the menu.

If the screen shows ‘Back’, press “Back” first, then tap the three dots again.

From the menu, select Load Products.
You will see the message: “Operation in progress… SUCCESS: Count Saved OK.”
Press “Done”. The screen will then read: “New Count Data Loaded – Ready to Start.”

⚠️ If a Previous Count Exists

If the HT730 already contains an unexported count, you will see both:

Count Started (date)
New Count Data Available to Load

You have two options:

Finish and export the current count to POS Manager before proceeding, or
Continue with Load Products, but this will delete the existing count.

⚠️ Warning Message: “You have current count data. Please make sure it has been transferred to the POS Manager, since Load Products will clear current count.”
