Only Include Current Advanced Cycle Count In
Calculations
New In Release 9.0.4
Indicate if you want to include only the advanced cycle count calculations
when populating the Progress tab
in Advanced Cycle Counting. Prior to this release, if a location was counted,
regardless of the reason, the system included the location in the Advanced
Cycle Count calculation. The system only checked the Last Count Date in
Location Maintenance. Now, the system stores the count dates. The default
is No.
Physical Count Days To Keep For Advanced Cycle
Counts
New in Release 9.0.4
Indicate how many days you want to keep non-RF physical counts before
the counts are removed. Keeping the counts for several days allows users
to opportunity to run the count
variances reports and run and update for the physical on-hand. Prior
to this new record, the system was hard coded to 5 days. The default is
5 days. For more information about advanced cycle counting, see Setting
Up Advanced Cycle Counting in the Warehouse Management documentation.
