Siebel Field Service Guide > Cycle Counting and Replenishment > Cycle Counting > Configuration of the Cycle Counting EngineThe Cycle Counting Engine generates cycle counting headers and cycle counting part lists by using the configuration information from the Cycle Counts view. For more information, see Cycle Counts View. Cycle counting uses these configuration parameters:
Here is an example of a cycle counting scenario: An inventory location is configured to count on a financial value basis (ABC). There are approximately 100 A-class products in inventory. Every five days (Frequency = 5 days) someone spends as much time as needed to count one-quarter (5/20) of the A-class items, with the goal of counting all of the A-class items within 20 days (Counting Period A/X = 20 days). Counting periods do not have to be even multiples of frequency. Configuration Information for the Cycle Counting EngineConfiguration of cycle counting takes place at several levels, on different screens (see Table 101).
NOTE: If a configuration parameter can be set at different aspects of inventory, the parameter for the more specific aspect takes precedence. For example, the count basis (ABC or XYZ) at an inventory location takes precedence over the basis specified for an inventory type. The cycle count class (A, B, or C; X, Y, or Z) for an inventory type takes precedence over that for a product. |
