To lock the count date:Locking the count date saves you from manually entering the count date for each product included in large cycle counts or full physical inventory counts. Instead the system automatically populates the date for inventory counts with the locked count date.
Note: The system does not populate a count date for null (blank) entries, regardless of whether you lock the count date.
You can lock the count date before or after printing your count sheets or cards.
To lock the count date:
From the Phys menu, select Lock Physical Count Date to display the Lock Physical Count Date screen.
In the Count ID # field, enter the count control file ID for the inventory you are counting.
The system populates the Title and Branch fields with the count control file's title and branch respectively.
In the Lock Count Date To field, enter the count date.
Press Esc to save changes and exit the screen.
