These cylinders can be segregated on a vendor refill manifest specific for that refill purchase order. When a vendor arrives to pick up cylinders, a vendor pick-up manifest is generated. A unique manifest number is automatically assigned by the system and only the vendor code is required for input. The manifest produced includes all tanks to be returned to this particular vendor. All cylinders are sorted by contents and serial number.
All manifests have a place for a signature and a confirmation indicator.
These manifests are confirmed, the signature is recorded for future reference, and all of these cylinders receive a status of retired. When a refill manifest is confirmed, all of these cylinders receive a vendor filling status. Physical inventory Periodic physical inventories of cylinders are taken in a variety of ways-by marking all cylinders, a particular building, a particular customer ID or a certain status code. Once cylinders are marked by Cyltrack for inventory, locations can be recorded using the bar code scanner or the keyboard. Using the physical inventory function on the bar code device, a prompt asks for building, room and control number.
