Create Cycle Count Tasks for Empty Locations

The ability to count empty locations can greatly improve your cycle counting and inventory accuracy. In WMS, you have the option to count empty permanent active and reserve locations and empty dynamic Active and Reserve locations.

Note: If there are multiple inventory records in a location and even if one of the inventory records had 0 quantity, then the location will be considered eligible for cycle counting.

In Cycle Count Task Selection Rules the "IS_LOCATION_EMPTY" drop-down option determines if the location is empty or not. If the selection function IS_LOCATION_EMPTY ="yes", All permanent and dynamic locations with a current quantity of zero will be considered for creating a cycle count task.

If the selection function IS_LOCATION_EMPTY ="no", the system will consider locations that have inventory for creating Cycle count Tasks. If the selection function IS_LOCATION_EMPTY ="yes", then the system will consider locations eligible for counting only if the location does not have inventory. If the inventory's current quantity value is set to 0, the system will create cycle count tasks for both permanent and dynamic locations using cycle count task creation selection rules.

To create cycle count tasks for empty locations:

1. From Cycle Count task > Details, select the task type > Selection Criteria.
2. Set the Column function name to location -is empty
3. Set the Column value to Yes.
