Clear difference in Handling Unit item count

When the counting process is completed and you identify a discrepancy in the actual quantity physically counted and the stock level in the computer system at the time of the count, analyze and investigate the reason and clear the difference based on the cycle count tolerance.

Discrepancy could occur in the following scenarios:
  • Incorrect quantity / product taken for an order
  • Incorrect stocking location of the product counted
  • Put away in incorrect bin location
  • Misrepresented Units of measure
  • Data entry errors
  • Combined damaged and good materials
  • Incorrect material movement recorded
