Cycle Count Criteria

Cycle counting is the periodic counting of individual items throughout the course of the year. Cycle counting increases your level of inventory accuracy.

You can perform cycle counts using either of these as criteria for your cycle count:

• ABC classes

• Item categories from the Product Information Management work area

You can manage all of your cycle counting tasks from the Inventory Management work area. Select Counts from the task panel.

ABC Classes

You can group items assigned to specific ABC classes. With ABC classification of your items as the basis for deciding the count frequency, your A class items get counted more frequently compared to B or C class items. For this method, you specify ABC assignment groups and ABC assignment group synchronization options.

Item Categories

You can assign items associated with specific item categories to a cycle count. All items belonging to those item categories are included in a cycle count regardless of the subinventory or locator they're stored in. This lets you define the items in the cycle count based on common grouping criteria already established in item categories in the Product Information Management work area.
