Inventory Management

Adding & Removing Items from Inventory

All centers use the inventory system Canvus to keep track of certain items. If you are asked to add or remove items from inventory, follow these steps.

• Find the Instructor Dashboard bookmark on a center tablet or computer. From the Dashboard, select “Inventory.”

• Hit the  + add  or  - remove  button first - this will solve 99% of your “why can’t I find this item in inventory?” questions!

• Type a few letters of the item name in the search box that pops up. Do not hit Enter!

• Choose the item you want from the list that pops up.

• The only field you need to worry about is Quantity. Enter how many you are adding or removing and hit Submit. 

Inventory Check

Your center may use this checklist to make sure the inventory system is up to date and your Center Director knows when to reorder important supplies.

To complete an Inventory Check:

• Find the Instructor Dashboard bookmark on a center tablet or computer. From the Dashboard, select “Inventory.”

• Once the website is loaded, you can find the area you are checking (e.g. “Binder Materials”) under Area.

• Now you can see how much inventory there is of each item in that category. Check to see if the inventory count matches the amount the center has in storage. 

• If the count is NOT accurate, you can click on the item that you need to update and hit the  + add  or  - remove  button.

• Now you can enter the quantity you need to add/remove. Once that is entered, you can click Submit. Make sure you are adding the amount that needs to be added or removed, NOT what the new amount should be!

• Confirm the updated inventory count for each item is correct!
