Inventory Control - Select Cycles for Freeze
Function
This task enables the selection of portions of inventory to count, based on inventory cycle codes. If the inventory is organized into separate groups for physical counting, one or all cycle codes may be selected for processing. The quantities on-hand for the selected items are recorded at the time of the selection, and are used as the basis for comparison when you actually enter the counts.
NOTE:
The accuracy of the Physical Inventory Selection task is increased if all inventory related transactions are updated before beginning. This includes the Sales Register update from the Order/Invoice Processing module, receipts from the Purchase Order module, warehouse transfers, and manual inventory transactions from the Inventory Control module.
