Count by Location

You use the Count by Location feature to count items based on their locations and send the count information back to the PeopleSoft Inventory system. The system provides a unique list of locations that exist in the count, and you then manually enter the items for a given location and their counts. If required, you can specify the status of items while adding them for counting. You can select the status of items from the Lookup prompt, while adding them for counting. The prompt displays the item Status field only if the Use Status For Counting option is enabled on the Business Unit Options page. Counting by location is a mixed approach between a guided count and a manual count. You are guided through the locations to be counted, and then for each location you perform a manual count.

If an item is serial controlled, part of the counting event and pre-load serials are selected, then the serials are loaded when that item is selected.

This application can be used to perform either a physical inventory count or a cycle count, depending on how the selected counting event ID was defined. The count is recorded in the COUNT_INV table.
