Running the Adjustment Variance Report

Use the Adjustment Variance Report to view a summary of cycle count or other adjustments made for a period of time. Adjustment quantities display with their variance percentages and dollar amounts. You can use this report for daily error rate calculation by branch, as it displays the absolute totals (without positive or negatives) of any adjustments made.

Note: On-hand quantities displaying on the Adjustment Variance Report do not reconcile with the Inventory History Ledger, as the report displays location-specific on-hand quantities and the ledger displays total on-hand from all product locations.

Note: Eclipse Support needs to activate an internal control record, ADJ.VAR.RPT, for your RF site to use this report. This hidden control record updates and stores RF cycle count records in a separate WORK.MISC file. RF sites not using this report and non-RF sites using this report do not utilize this data.

For a description of the report, see What the Report Shows at the end of the topic.
