Cycle Count Overview

Cycle Count Overview

A cycle count is an inventory auditing procedure, where a small subset of inventory in a specific location is counted on a specified day. Cycle counts are different than traditional physical inventory in that a full physical inventory may stop operation at a facility while all items are counted at one time. Cycle counts are less disruptive to daily operations, provide an ongoing measure of inventory accuracy and procedure execution, and can be tailored to focus on items with higher value, higher movement volume, or that are critical to business processes.

Once a cycle count is created and assigned to a user, that user can go to either their Android or iOS device to complete that count. Throughout the cycle count section of the Knowledgebase, there are several pages that have been created to help familiarize the user with cycle counts and how they may be set up within the system. These pages are referenced in the related articles.
