Performing a Cycle Count Using Barcode Scanning

After initiating a cycle count, you are now able to count products in the Cycle Count Detail view. There are two ways to perform the count. You can count products using barcode scanning, if your device is outfitted with a supported scanner, or you can electronically enter product and asset records in the Cycle Count Detail view. For information on supported scanners, see Siebel System Requirements and Supported Platforms on Oracle Technology Network.

To count products using barcode scanning

1. In the Cycle Count Detail view, tap the Scan button.

   The Scan Barcodes Form appears. The fields in the Scan Barcodes form are described in the following table:

   Field	Comments
   Product	Name of the product.
   Part #	Product part number.
   Lot #	Lot number of the product asset being scanned.
   Serial #	Serial number of the product asset being scanned.
   Asset #	Asset number of the asset being scanned. Auto-generated if there is no data on Asset number on the barcode.
   Qty	Quantity found on the product asset being scanned.
   Use By	Expiration date of the product asset being scanned.
   Days	Calculated field, the number of days until the product expires calculated based on current date.
   State	Calculated field. A product asset can be Good, Short-Dated, or Expired. A product is short dated if Days is less than Short Days defined for this product.

2. Align the device scanner to the barcode and hit the device button to initiate scan.

   An audio beep will confirm the scan. Data from the barcode is parsed into appropriate fields on the Scan Barcodes Form.

   1. If the product requires only one barcode, the Days and Status field will be calculated and the application will provide appropriate audio and visual confirmation depending on the State as follows:

      State	Outcome
      Good	Audio beep
      Short Dated	Audio beep
      Expired	Audio beep and pop-up window

      For expired products, the you would have to tap OK on the pop-up to acknowledge that product is expired. You cannot continue to the next scan without acknowledging this pop-up.

   2. If the product requires two barcodes, align the device scanner to the second barcode and hit the device button to initiate scan.

      An Audio beep confirms scan. Data from barcode is parsed into appropriate fields on the Scan Barcodes Form. Use By Days and Status will be calculated and the application will provide appropriate audio and visual confirmation. See the previous step.

3. Repeat the previous steps for all products that will be counted by barcode scanning
4. Tap Stop to navigate back to Cycle Count Detail view.
