Inventory Count

An inventory count transaction records the results of a physical count of items in a location. Inventory counts can initiate an inventory adjustment to update on-hand quantities based on the results.

This transaction is available when Inventory Count feature is enabled. Inventory counts for lot and serialized items require the Advanced Bin/Numbered Inventory Management feature. Inventory count records have one subrecord: count detail. For more information, see Inventory Count.

The REST API Browser includes information about the field names and field types of the inventory count record, and about the HTTP methods, request parameters, and operations available to this record. For details, see the REST API Browser’s inventory count reference page.

For information about using the REST API Browser, see The REST API Browser.
