Cycle History Purge

Exploring

This program lets you purge completed, inactive cycle counts.

Things you can do in this program include:

  • Delete inactive cycle counts from the InvCycleCountCapt table.

This program is accessed from the Program List 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

You can restrict operator access to programs by assigning them to groups and applying access control against the group (configured using the Operator Groups program).

The following configuration options in SYSPRO may affect processing within this program or feature, including whether certain fields and options are accessible.

The Setup Options program lets you configure how SYSPRO behaves across all modules. These settings can affect processing within this program.

Setup Options > Configuration > Distribution > Inventory
