Approve Count Sequences Using a Redwood Page

Cycle counting is essential for maintaining consistent accuracy of your on-hand quantities throughout the year. Accurate on-hand quantities are essential for managing supply and demand, maintaining high service levels, and planning production. When conducting these cycle counts, there will come a time when the counted quantity doesn't match the quantity recorded in the application. When this happens, depending on your organization's policies, your inventory manager will likely need to review this discrepancy and decide to approve, reject, or send it for a recount. Now your inventory managers can perform this review using the new Cycle Count Approvals page in the Redwood experience.

You can now access the new Cycle Count Approvals page using any of these options:

• Cycle Count Approvals task
• Cycle Count Sequences infolet
• Quick Actions > Cycle Count Approvals
• Approve Cycle Counts action on Manage Cycle Counts page
