Generate Physical Inventory Tags
Use the Generate Physical Inventory Tags scheduled process to create the physical inventory tags for the physical inventory you’re performing.
For example, a Warehouse Manager can generate the physical inventory tags that will be distributed to warehouse personnel for physical counting of the items in inventory.
When to Use
Run this process as part of the overall physical inventory process. After successful completion of the Perform Physical Inventory Snapshot process, you run this process to create the physical inventory count tags to record the physical counts for all the items in the inventory. A physical inventory tag is created for every unique combination of item, subinventory, locator, and revision in the organization in which on-hand inventory exists.

Specifications
| Specification | Description |
|---|---|
| Job Type | Ad hoc job Scheduled Typically, companies schedule both the Perform Inventory Snapshot process and the Create Physical Inventory Tags process to run during an off shift. This way the physical inventory tags are available at the start of the next shift and the warehouse personnel can begin counting. However, if the physical inventory itself is small with only a few items, then running these processes as ad hoc jobs is a good option as well. |
| Frequency | Run only once for each defined physical inventory to create the physical inventory count tags. |
| Time of Day | Any time. |
| Duration | The duration of this process depends heavily on the number of items in the physical inventory, and is variable based on the number of items. Large numbers of items or a particular setup make it difficult to predict the process time. |
| Compatibility | There should be only one instance of the job running at any time, and there’s no current functional need to run multiple instances of this process simultaneously. |
