Types of Cycle Counts

Item Count –

Allows for Cycle Counting by Items within the warehouse.

Count by Bin – 

Allows for Cycle Counting Items existing in a certain range of Bins and then counting those same Items throughout the facility.

Count by Bin Only – 

Allows for Cycle Counting by Bins within the warehouse.

Once the basic Count Template information, such as name, and type, has been entered, the Items or Bins can be assigned. Below the table of Count Templates are three links. These three links correspond to the three Cycle Count Types in the Type dropdown box. The process for assignment of Items and Bins for each Type is explained below.

Assign Items to Count by Items

Select the Count from the Select Count drop-down box.

Select Item(s) to assign to the selected Count.

The right-facing arrow button allows Item(s) to be moved from the available Items to the box of the selected Item.

The All right-facing arrow button allows all Items to be moved from the available Items to the box of the selected Item.

The left-facing arrow button allows Item(s) to be moved from the selected Items back to the available Items box.

Assign Bins to Count by Bin / Bin Only

There is a difference between Count by Bin, and Count by Bin Only. Count by Bin Only does not have the user count the overstock locations for each Item found in the Bins.
