Creating Manual Inventory Counts
Create manual inventory counts to manually choose the items you want to count and set the date of the count.
For warehouse locations that use bins, you can create inventory counts for each unique item and bin combination. You can count an item in different bins or different items in the same bin. For more information about bins, see Creating Bin Locations or Carts.
To create a manual inventory count:
-
Using the Warehouse role, go to Inventory > Cycle Counting > Enter Cycle Count.
-
On the Inventory Count page, enter or select values in the following fields:
-
In the Subsidiary field, select the subsidiary to which the warehouse location belongs.
-
In the Location field, select the warehouse location.
-
In the Date field, enter the date you want to set for the inventory count.
-
In the Account field, select the account to which you want to post variances, typically, an expense account.
By default, the account you set in the Default Inventory Count Account field on the Accounting Preferences page appears in this field. See Setting Up Inventory Count.

On the Items subtab, do the following:
-
In the Item column, select the item you want to count.
-
If you use bins for the warehouse location, in the Bin column, select the bin that contains the item you want to count.
-
Click Add.
Repeat steps a – c to add another item.

Click Save.
NetSuite WMS sets the new inventory count to Open status.

If you want to start the new count, click Start Count.
For more information about initiating counts, see Starting Inventory Counts.
When you want to process the inventory count, you can edit the started inventory count record to enter the count details. See Working with an Inventory Count.
