Inv Manmt: Relationship Between Cycle Count Flags

Mapics Environment: DB Y2K (Mod 4)
Module: Inventory Management
Option: Physical Inventory

Hi Mapics ML:

I've been studying our old "trusty?" Mapics manual and I notice two fields that 
appear in the ITEMBL file:

CCFLG - Cycle Count Flag (Normally set to "1" when you want an Item No. 
selected for inventory counting.)

FCYCT - Forced Cycle Count Flag (Set to "blank" when a new Item No. is created 
and remains that way unless the inventory balance drops below zero, at which 
point the flag is changed to "1"; thereby "forcing" an inventory counting.)

I have several questions about these flags.

1. What is the relationship between the settings of these flags to each other?

2. How is the CCFLG flag reset to "0"?  (I would assume this was done by Mapics 
automatically after the inventory is taken and the perpetual inventory is 
updated with the inventory count variances using a PH Inventory Transaction.)

3. How is the FCYCT flag reset to "blank" after the inventory balance returns 
to a normal "non-negative" balance?  (Is this done automatically by Mapics?)

I look forward to your comments as my learning experience with Mapics expands.

Regards.....
