# HT730 Stock Counter Part 3/3
**HT730 STOCK COUNTER & BARNET INVENTORY APP: STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE**
**Export Count Data to POS Manager**
1. **Open a New Count**
* In **POS Manager**, go to:\
**Inventory>Closing Count>Add Closing Count** *(or Add Closing Count V2)*.
**2. Set the Count Parameters**
* Enter the **correct date** for the count.
* Select the appropriate **filter** for the count:
* **Category** (default)
* **Vendor**
* **Location**
⚠️ **Important**:\
If you do not manually select a filter, the system will default to **Category**.\
If you then apply “0” values (see step 5) without correcting the filter, it may assign **0 On Hand** to SKUs in unintended categories.
**Example:**\
If you counted a **Location** (e.g., Local Spirits) but did not select “Location” as the filter, the system will apply your count to several unrelated **Categories**, potentially zeroing out products you didn’t intend to affect.
*(Example of WRONG selection)*
*(Example of CORRECT selection)*
**3. Apply Count Data from Stock Counter**
* At the top center, click “Apply from…” and choose: **Apply from stock counter**.
* A series of confirmation windows will appear to:
* Confirm download from the HT730
* Confirm that the count was saved on the device
* Press “Apply” or “OK” through each step.
**4. Respond to “Apply 0” Prompt**
Once your count loads, a window will ask:
**“Would you like to Apply 0?”**
**5. Apply 0 – If Appropriate**
The **Apply 0** function assigns a count of **0 On Hand** to all products within your selected filter **that were not counted**.
This is useful if:
* You’re performing a **full count** of a specific **Category**, **Vendor**, or **Location**
* You want to mark **out-of-stock or delisted** items as zero
* You want to flag missed products for variance review
⚠️ **Important Guidelines Before Applying 0:**
* Ensure the correct **filter** (Category, Vendor, or Location) is selected.
* Only apply 0 if you have **intentionally counted everything** within that filter.
* If you only counted a partial list or selected products, **do not apply 0**—it will incorrectly zero out the rest.
You can Apply 0 by choosing **Yes** when prompted.
* A series of warnings will appear—click “OK” or “Yes” to proceed.
Once applied:
* Products not counted will display **0** in the count.
* You can still make edits, delete SKUs, or correct quantities before posting.
**If You Notice a Mistake:**
* You can delete the count in POS Manager and return to the Stock Counter to make changes (only if a new count hasn't been started).
* Or you can address missed items during your **second count**—often the easier option.
**6. Post the Closing Count**
* Once satisfied with the data, click “Post Closing Count” at the top of the screen.
This action:
* **Updates the On Hand values in your product table based on your count.**
* Finalizes the data for variance review.
1. **After Posting the Count**
You now have access to several tools and filters:
* **Filters**:
* Show only **Short/Over Items**
* Show **Sold vs On Hand**
* Show by **Country**, **Category**, **Vendor**, or **Location**
* **Edit Count**: Click the **hand & pencil icon** (top left)
* **Print Reports**: Click the **printer icon** to generate:
* Variance reports
* Re-count lists
* Other summary reports
* **Accept Count**: Finalize the count so it can no longer be changed
