Generate Count Sequences

Use the Generate Count Sequences scheduled process to create count sequences for a cycle count.

When to Use

Use the Generate Count Sequences process as the second 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. This process must be preceded by running the Generate Count Schedules process.

Privileges Required

  • Create Cycle Count (INV_GENERATE_CYCLE_COUNT_SEQUENCE)

Specifications

Review the following before setting up this scheduled process:
Specification Description
Job Type Ad hoc

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 Runtime 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 following the Generate Count Schedules process.

Both processes can be run sequentially using the Perform Full Cycle Count job set.

Consider scheduling the Generate Count Sequences 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.
