Performing RF User-Directed Cycle Counting

Use the Count by Location screen to manually initiate a cycle count rather than using the system-initiated rank.

To make adjustments in RF cycle counting and RF Location Maintenance, you must be assigned either:

Level 2 of the PRD.LOCATION.MAINT authorization key with the Unauthorized User Finds Discrepancy In RF Cycle Cnt By Loc control maintenance record set to Force Count on All.
Level 3 of the PRD.LOCATION.MAINT authorization key.

Note: If the Allow Vendor Consignment Modifications Through RF Cycle Count control maintenance record is set to No, you cannot decrease consigned inventory using RF cycle counting. You cannot ever increase consigned inventory using RF cycle counting. Use Product Location Maintenance to adjust consigned inventory when you cannot do so using RF cycle counting.

To perform user-directed cycle counting:

From the Warehouse Management > RF Applications > RF Main Menu, select Cycle Cnt by Loc to display the Count by Locations screen.

Note: If prompted, log on to the character-based system.

In the Br field, enter the branch for the location that you are cycle counting, if needed.
Scan the location at which you are starting your counts.

All product held in that location displays.

Note: If you find a product that is not displayed in the list but is at the current location, scan the product's barcode to add the product to the location and to count it.

Select the first product to count in the location either by scanning the product or by placing the cursor on the line item and pressing Enter.

Note: Use the Page Up, Page Down, or Arrow keys to scroll through each product listed for the location. Use Shift-Home to select the first line item and Shift-End to select the last line item. The selected line item out of the total number of line items displays at the bottom of the screen.

The Check Counts screen displays.

Follow steps 5-7 in the Performing RF System-Directed Cycle Counting topic.

After counting the selected product, the system returns you to the Count by Locations screen with the product you just counted removed from the displayed list.

Repeat this process for all product in the location.

If product still displays in the list after counting all product in the location, do the following:

Select the product to display the Check Counts screen.
Enter 0 for the product quantity in this location.
Handle the variance, as appropriate.

Note: From the Warehouse Management > Reports menu, access the Adjustment Variance Report to view completed RF cycle counts. If prompted, log on to the character-based system.

Press Esc to save updates and exit the screen.
