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.
