The second option on the Inventory menu is the Cycle Count function. Cycle Count is a means of keeping track of inventory by consistently counting different subsets of the entire inventory. Cycle Counts are performed by Inventory Control Personnel as a way of maintaining an accurate inventory count.

To perform a cycle count:

Select Cycle Count from the Inventory Menu. Either highlight your desired choice and press "<Enter>" or simply type in the appropriate menu number.

To Count Items

Enter the Count Sheet that you would like to use. This field is only available when the Read Whistle Count Sheets window setting is turned on.

Enter the Bin # that you would like to count. A list of uncounted Bins is displayed when the cursor is in the Bin Field.

Enter the Tracking # that you would like to count. A list of uncounted tracking numbers in the current bin will be displayed.

Enter the Quantity of the particular item that is on the container and enter it in the New Qty field. Remember to enter the quantity in terms of the UOMs displayed.

Select "<Record>" to record the container’s count.

Select "<Bin Done>" to finish counting the Bin. Remember that all uncounted containers will be recorded as 0 (zero).

Select "<Back>" to return to the Cycle Counting main screen.

Select "<Options>" and then "Complete Count" to finish the count.
