Business Benefits
After Tickets have been generated and distributed to the Counters, you will receive the Tickets as the Count is completed by each person. This program allows you to enter the Ticket Count, so that later you can determine if there are any discrepancies between the physical count and the computer records.
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.
