Re: XA Physical Inventory

Eric,

The Compare Quanity for cycle count groups can be established in one of two 
ways.  If Cutoff On-Hand is selected, the system captures the on-hand balance 
when the count is activated.  If Entry On-Hand is selected, the system captures 
the on-hand balance when the count is actually entered.  If you are having a 
lot of activity on the item you are counting, then you  probably  want  to use 
the Entry on-hand option and immediately enter the count as each item is 
counted.

Subject: [MAPICS-L] XA Physical Inventory

   To the list,
   I know that this has been discussed before but could not find the exact
   answer for my customer.  Here's the question:
    
   When the Physical/Cycle count selection is run (let's say at end of year)
   all the records are flagged to be counted and the on hand at selection is
   saved.  If the counts are entered after the users start processing
   transactions again, then any variance from the PH will cause the On Hand
   to be off - is this correct?
    
   Isn't this why 3rd party packages were developed?  Since preventing the
   users from Shipping, Receiving products until the counts are entered is
   not reality, how do I get the system to work for them?
    
   They currently are counting over 2500 items on a monthly basis.  The
   eventual plan is to use the Cycle count process but we are not ready yet.
    
   Thanks...
   Eric
