Generate Count Schedules

Use the Generate Count Schedules scheduled process to create count schedules for a cycle count.

When to Use

Use the Generate Count Schedules process as the first step in initiating a scheduled cycle count. You must schedule this process to run at the same frequency defined in the Schedules section of the Cycle Count Definition field. For example, if the value for the cycle count definition frequency is daily, you must schedule this process to run daily.

Privileges Required

• Create Cycle Count (INV_GENERATE_CYCLE_COUNT_SCHEDULES)

Specifications

Review the following before setting up this scheduled process:

Specification	Description
Job Type	Adhoc Scheduled
Frequency	As required, usually to start the cycle count process. It's recommended to schedule the process to run prior to a scheduled cycle count.
Time of Day	Any time.
Duration	Run time of this process will vary based on the number of items scheduled to count. For example, count schedules created for thousands of items can take additional processing time compared to count schedules for hundreds of items.
Compatibility	This process must be run first when initiating a cycle count, with the Generate Count Sequence scheduled process running immediately after. Both processes can be run sequentially using the Perform Full Cycle Count job set. Consider scheduling the Generate Count Schedules process in off hours prior to the next scheduled cycle count. For example, if a cycle count is scheduled to execute at 8:00 AM on a Friday, run the Generate Count Schedules and Generate Count Sequences processes in the early morning, such as 3-4 AM Friday, so the counts are ready to execute.
