Managing Cycle Counts

You can count your stock / inventory in one of 2 ways, either doing a annual stocktake or by doing cycle counts.

Cycle counts enable warehouse managers to set how frequently an item is to be counted. The frequency is set in hours and on an individual item.

Cycle count parameters are set when an item master data record is created or changed. Any stock adjustments that result from cycle counts should be reviewed and approved.

Manage the details of all your cycle counts from a central page in .wms.

  1. Log in to .wms webUI.

  2. Click Stock on the top navigation bar then select Manage Cycle Counts from the drop-down menu.

    The Stock - Manage Cycle Counts page displays.
