Prerequisites

Before you complete the tasks in this section, you must:

• Verify that these automatic accounting instructions (AAIs) are set up:

  • AAI table 4152, which provides the inventory account to offset against any count variance.

  • AAI table 4154, which provides the cost of goods sold account to update.

  • AAI table 4141, which provides the variance account to update (set up only if you use standard costs).

  • AAI tables 4122, 4124, 4126, and 4128, which provide the accounts for zero-balance adjustments.

• Set up the Cycle Count Category Code field using the Item Master (P4101) and Item Branch (P41026) programs. This field must be set up for you to use the associated method of updating in the Cycle Count Update program (R41413).

  See Adding Classification Codes to Items.

• Verify that you have not changed any printer file override information before you print cycle count sheets.

  Any changes to information, such as report length or width, might affect the appearance of the report.
