Count EWM items at regular intervals (Cycle Counting)

Use the Cycle Counting sub-module to count the items in Warehouse on a cyclic schedule, to ensure accuracy of the items.

As an extended warehouse manager/personnel, you can count items, in a location, at specific intervals like weekly or monthly and so on. For example, if item A is a fast-moving item or critical to your operation then you can do cycle count for item A every week and ensure the stock on shelves matches with the Physical Inventory Documents (PID).

To count items in warehouse:

  1. In the Home screen, tap EWM.
  2. Tap on Cycle Counting.
