Function: The Cycle Count screen is used to submit, review, and commit inventory cycle counts performed with a wireless barcode terminal or the virtual terminal program (

There are three tabs:

- Completed Counts - Review, Dismiss, and Commit completed counts
- Pending Counts - Review, Move, and Delete pending counts

The Control tab allows you to submit new cycle counts.

Recommended Process
First, the items being counted should be "off limits" to any inventory transactions. This means PO Receipts, production usage/assembly, stock transfers, etc.
The
Control tab should be used to submit counts for the required inventory items. This is typically done by using the
Cycle Count Code, but any combination of filters can be used.
Once the counts are submitted, you can use the wireless RF terminals or the Virtual Terminal program to count the inventory (
Prompt 58).
Counts can also be entered directly into the
Count Qty column on the Pending Counts tab. To manually enter counts, place your cursor in the County Qty column, enter the counted quantity, then press Enter. The cursor will move to the next item so you can continue entering the counts.
If using paper and counting without scanners you can print the Cycle Count Worksheets from the Pending Counts tab. The default form is sorted the same way the Pending Counts grid is sorted. When the worksheets come back after counting, you should be able to enter the qtys from top to bottom without matching up items and p-numbers between the screen and paper.
The Completed tab should be reloaded to view all inventory counts after they have been submitted.
Rows that are not highlighted can be committed; the count quantity matches the system quantity.
Rows that are highlighted in RED or ORANGE can be recounted by selecting the rows and clicking the Recount button. This will delete the original count and resubmit it to the Pending Counts.
Rows that are dismissed will not be changed in inventory.
Rows with differences that are committed with be adjusted in inventory. The item's Inventory Control account and Inventory Clearing account are used in the adjustment transaction.
Please note the
Verify Only counts cannot be committed.
Flattened Serial counts that do not match the total on hand quantity will have Serials removed or added to match the entered count. The system will decide which serials to add/remove.
