Cycle Count Selection

Exploring

This program lets you change the cycle count status from inactive to active and vice verse.

Things you can do in this program include:

  • Activate a cycle count

  • Cancel a cycle count, which makes it inactive

This program is accessed from the Program List pane of the SYSPRO menu:

  • Program List > Inventory > Cycle Counting System > Transaction Processing

This refers to an inventory auditing procedure whereby a small subset of inventory items (or specific locations) are designated to be counted on a specified cycle.

The information derived from the cycle count can be used to determine the accuracy of stock levels within the entire warehouse (e.g. if discrepancies are found between actual and system stock levels, similar variances may be expected in other areas of the warehouse).

Starting
