A method and system of managing overstock products at a retail sales facility 12 includes scanning a product 90 at a stock room location of the retail sales facility using a hand-held electronic device 20. At least two of three functions are performed based on the scanning. First, the product may be audited by comparing data obtained by scanning the product to data contained in an inventory management database 42. Second, a determination of whether the scanned item is on a pick list may be made, which may include determining a demand for the scanned product to arrive at a decision whether to store the product in the stock room or place it on a shelf 82 on the sales floor. Third a determination of whether identical items are stored in bins 80 in the stock room may be made. Also envisaged is a method including the second function, and in response to a determination that no shelf space is available, determining whether items identical to the at least one scanned product are stored in a bin and determining a bin location at the stockroom to store the product. |
