Cycle Count

A cycle count is an inventory auditing procedure, which falls under inventory management, where a small subset of inventory, in a specific location, is counted on a specified day.

Note: Multiple locations per item, work in process, and lags in paperwork processing can contribute to errors. You can mitigate these problems with correct cycle count procedures that specify not only the part number to be counted but also the location the part number should be in.

In Oracle WMS Cloud, you can run Cycle Counts in three ways:

  1. Manually execute a Cycle Count in a location (RF)
  2. WMS automatically triggers a Task (UI)
  3. Run a Task Template that generates group of Tasks (UI)

How To Check for a flagged Cycle Count Location

The Active and Reserve Location screens include a “To be Counted flg” column – if the value is Yes, then it means that the location needs to be cycle counted.

The Tasks screen.

Every location flagged for Cycle Count has a Task tied to it. To view these Tasks, filter the results by setting the Task type to “CC Location Contents” or “CC Location LPN Scan” and the status to “HELD” or “Ready”.
