Business Benefits

A Cycle Count allows for a scheduled count of inventory to verify and (if necessary) adjust system stock levels to match actual stock levels. Since some products may "turn" (i.e., be received and shipped) more quickly than others, then it would be advantageous to count the faster moving stock more frequently.

A Cycle Count Class represents the period of time between cycle counts (examples: daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, etc.) required for a specific client or client/product.

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.

Usage

This job is used to define Classes for Cycle Counts; e.g., Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly, Yearly.

Preconditions

Determine how many different Cycle Count Classes that you need for your operation.

Subsequent Actions

After you define the Cycle Count Classes the next step is to assign classes to clients/products by running program
PI.92 [Assign Cycle Count Class].

The Cycle Count Class is a "count type". The user specifies the count type during the creation of a Physical Inventory count in program PI.20 [Count - Maintain/Generate].
