52 Cycle Count Mobile Application (Release 9.1 update)

This chapter discusses these topics:


Important Note:

Before using the mobile application, Oracle strongly recommends that users have a complete understanding of how to use the associated processes and applications in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne base software.

For additional information about the processes and applications associated with the mobile application discussed in this chapter, see:

  • ”Inventory Cycle Counts” in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Applications Business Interfaces Implementation Guide.


52.1 Cycle Count Mobile Application Overview

The Cycle Count mobile application enables you to count the inventory at the inventory location. The application allows you to perform scheduled cycle count and unscheduled cycle count.

You use the Cycle Count mobile application to:

  • Achieve higher inventory accuracy

  • Reduce hours of operation

  • Increase operational efficiency

This table lists the applications that are available to review cycle count information:

Type of Application Additional Information
Base EnterpriseOne application Use the Cycle Count application (P41240) in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne system to review cycle count information.
Tablet application Cycle Count (M41240)

To download the application to your tablet, search on the following text in the application store:

  • JD Edwards Cycle Count


Before using the Cycle Count tablet application, you must perform the following setup tasks:

  • Set the processing options of the application.

    Complete this task in the EnterpriseOne system.

52.1.1 Differences and Limitations: Cycle Count

Mobile applications are intended to be a simplified version of the applications that are available in the base software. In most cases, these applications provide a subset of the functionality available in the base software.

Cycle Count Information Displayed

While the Cycle Count mobile application does not function differently than base EnterpriseOne applications, it does offer the mobile user a subset of cycle count information. Not all cycle count information available in the base software is available in the mobile application.

52.2 Setting Up the Cycle Count Mobile Application

Before using the Cycle Count mobile application, you:

  • Set processing options for the Cycle Count tablet application (M41240).

    Setting processing options for the application is a task that should be completed by the system administrator before the mobile application are made available to end users.

  • Disable the Bluetooth option in your device's settings if you want to use the native device camera to scan barcodes of item number, location, and lot/serial number. Enable the Bluetooth option if you want to use a Bluetooth-enabled scanning device to scan the barcodes. To scan barcodes using a Bluetooth scanning device, you must configure the scanning device on the mobile device.

52.2.1 Setting Processing Options for the Cycle Count Tablet Application (M41240)

You use processing options to specify default processing information for a program.

52.2.1.1 Versions

1. Cycle Count (P41240) Version

Use this processing option to specify the version of the Cycle Count program (P41240) the system uses to run the Cycle Count mobile tablet application (M41240). If you leave this processing option blank, the system uses version ZJDE0001.

52.2.1.2 Display
