Sub : Cycle Count Procedures

We are on 4.05 CD. 

Yes, You can change it to from two step to one step cycle count procedures, 
provided you are not in the middle of two step procedures. 

There are two method to handle it . Both ways are mentioned below.

First method : 

After you complete two cycle count procedures and adjustments are over, you can 
change it to one step cycle count method in system parameters.

Second method:

If you are in the middle of two step cycle count and you would like to switch 
over to one step method, then follow these steps.

         1) run clear cycle counts (INV810)
          2) Check and make sure ITSEQ from IIM should be equal to TSEQ in ITH 
          3) Change system parameters to one step cycle counting method in 
inventory parameter screen (SYS800-13


You may use which is suits your environment. Please note that one step cycle 
count means, physical count quantity entry operator will enter quantity and 
inventory will be updated directly without any superior's further approval. 


I hope this clarifies your point. If you need any further explanation, you can 
contact me directly.

Please accept the dumbing down of this query...

We are running eBPCS v6.1 on OS/400 v4.3.

I was under the impression that BPCS will give a choice of 2 different methods
of cycle counting. We are at present operating a 2-part cycle count within BPCS
and the operators are required to manually post each line to the inventory file.

I have been led to believe that the 1-part cycle count method is the recommended
method (as this would remove one large part of potential user error).


Question: Is it possible to change the cycle count within BPCS to the 1-part
method after using the 2-part method?
