Fixing the LIFO/FIFO File

Print Friendly, PDF & Email

This option is used to clean up the LIFO/FIFO file to match the Inventory File. It should be used as a last resort to fix your LIFO/FIFO file because it erases all history of inventory receipts and sets up new receipts according to the current quantity on hand and the current cost. If you are not sure of the implications of this process, call ISI Customer Support for more information.

  1. Log out all alt-users and terminals.

  3. On the Main Menu, select Lubrication Menu.
  4. Select Inventory Menu (7).

  2. If you are prompted for a password, type the 5-digit password of the day and press [Enter] to start the process. This password can be obtained by contacting ISI Customer Support.
