You cannot modify sub-inventory in past date but can update current sub-inventory.
Sub-inventory is closed at 23:59 automatically on the day there was the change and open new sub-inventory at 00:00. Remaining stock of the closed sub-inventory recorded as beginning stock of the new sub-inventory.

1032 What is difference between created-at and uploaded-at of transactions?
- Created at: Time when field staff start recording transactions
- Uploaded at: Time when the record was sync to server
1033 Why is buying company phone recommended?
We recommend company phones, due to avoid some inconvenience below.
Reason1: SENRI has some requirements
- SENRI requires android version of 6.0* at least and recommends above 8
- ROM 16GB above
- RAM 4GB above
- Android OS usually requires 10% HDD availability to sync data, so if Field Staff uses private phone, HDD could be full with their private photo or video.
- Run with google play services *Huawei may not run with it.
Reason2: Further restrictions are possible
- In case you want to control device like force GPS always on or restrict usage of mobile data bundle to SENRI, MDM is required.
Reason3: GPS accuracy
- GPS accuracy is not very good with some phones. It is usually depending on device and brands and we usually recommend Samsung phones.
- Here is data based on SENRI’s actual GPS information of 300,000 and it indicates that TECNO phone (2.4%) has 6 times of GPS information with more than 1km inaccuracy than Samsung phone (0.4%).

1034 What is the requirement of mobile phone?
- Android 6.0* above at least but above 8 is recommended
- ROM 16GB above
- RAM 4GB above
- Run with google play services
- Huawei phone won’t be recommended because google play services may not run
- Samsung phone is recommended in terms of GPS accuracy
1035 Why does not SENRI have iOS version?
- Majority of users in Asia and Africa still use Android OS.
- From perspectives of development, making iOS version is not something like copy and paste of source code. We need millions$ to invest for creating from scratch.
1037 Can we force the field staff to keep ON the GPS?
In company settings, SENRI can only force GPS on when Field Staff creates record and customer registration but not always. This is Google policy that mobile app cannot force GPS on at all time. However, we observe some MDM is possible to lock GPS settings so please install MDM separately. If FS uses private smartphone, it may be difficult to agree installation of MDM.

1038 How often can I track the movement of my field staff?
If FS keep moving, the app tracks between 10 - 60 seconds depending on the device.

Yes, it is possible. However, more accurate GPS can be captured when FS is connected to Wifi.
1040 What’s happen when geo-fence is on?
You cannot create records until you are as close as 300m to customers.
1041 How do you ensure that the Field Staff can’t fake GPS data?
- Activity cannot be created under fake GPS.
- SENRI map, distance, customer location and all other GPS related functions does not capture fake GPS as the mobile app doesn’t send fake location data.
- You can see when fake GPS is detected in visit timeline of daily activity report.
- Unless GPS is turned off, GPS status in daily activity report will show on even if the fake GPS is on.
- MDM can restrict fake GPS app to install
