About the Cycle Counting Engine

The Cycle Counting Engine requires the following information:

• One or more inventory locations
• A start date for creating inventory lists for cycle counting
• An end date for creating inventory lists for cycle counting

The Cycle Counting Engine produces the following information:

• Cycle counting periods that define the calendar dates that a cycle count covers
• Cycle counting records (headers)
• Products for each cycle counting record

  The products provide instructions for the next count of inventory.

You can enter count data in the Part List view of the Cycle Counts screen. The Cycle Counting Engine compares this data to the inventory records in its database, and allows you to adjust inventory for variances.
