Everyone makes mistakes during pack-out. iCat’s Global Edit view exists for exactly this reason — allowing you to repair inventory errors instantly, without rework or frustration.

This article shows what you can fix and how each option helps.


Accessing Global Edit

  1. Go to Contents Administration View

  2. Search for and select the items you want to modify

  3. Open Global Edit to apply batch changes

Global Edit applies fixes to all selected items at once.


What You Can Fix with Global Edit

1. Move Contents to the Correct Job

If contents were inventoried under the wrong job:

  • Select the items

  • Choose the correct job in Global Edit

  • Assign the room you want them placed into
    This safely relocates items from one job to another.


2. Update Item Category

Useful when a category was chosen incorrectly at pack-out.


3. Update Item Status (Important for Non-Salvage)

If technicians forgot to mark items as Replacement / Non-Salvage at the job site:

  • Select the affected items

  • Change their status in one click

This ensures:

  • Insured can see items online

  • Non-salvage reports include them

  • Fast LKQ can process them correctly


4. Mark Items as Rush

If multiple items need rush handling, apply the Rush flag in bulk.


5. Update Descriptions

Quickly correct or standardize descriptions for many items at the same time.


6. Change Original Pack-Out Location

If a room was mislabeled or created incorrectly on the device, you can batch-move items to the proper room.


7. Adjust Quantity

Correct quantity errors for one or many items at once.


8. Remove Items from a Parent Box

If items were mistakenly placed inside a box during pack-out:

  • Select them

  • Use Remove Parent Box
    The items become stand-alone line items again.


9. Apply a Note to Many Items

Add one note that applies to every selected content item — useful for reminders, QA, or internal communication.


Why Global Edit Matters

Every option in Global Edit was built from real contractor feedback.
These tools:

  • Prevent tedious rework

  • Speed up admin corrections

  • Ensure data accuracy for reporting, billing, and Fast LKQ

  • Save hours of manual editing
