Business Benefits

In the course of taking a Physical Count, there are numerous Tags/Tickets in the hands of the Stock-Takers. Some of these might be lost, while others may have inadvertently been duplicated.

To make the Physical Count meaningful and accurate, it is important to account for all the Tags/Tickets that were issued, so that no Inventory is overlooked and is reconciled to the computer records. Similarly, any duplicates must be found and corrected so that the Count is not distorted. This program produces a report that highlights any such omissions or duplications, so that you can take corrective or followup action.

Note: For related documentation and workflows, see PI - Physical Inventory. For further information on how inventory is handled under ViewPoint Logistics, see Physical Inventory Overview.
