Performing a cycle count with the RF

Note: The Last Count field is updated with the current date on the TWL Configuration-Item-Miscellaneous record only if all locations for the item are counted within a 48-hour time period.
  1. From the RF Main Menu, select Inventory Control.
  2. Select Cycle Count Menu.
  3. Select one of these methods of cycle count to perform:
    • Count by Wave/Bin
    • Count by Wave/Item
    • Count by Employee
    • Count by Zone/Aisle

    If you select Count by Wave/Bin, then inventory cycle counts are counted in bin sequence. If you select Count by Wave/Item, then inventory cycle counts are counted by product, then by zone, aisle, and bin.

    If you are counting by zone and aisle, go to step 9.

  4. You may be counting by wave or employee, in the Wave Inquiry screen. If so, specify the wave number or press Enter to view all waves in the system.
  5. Select Yes to the prompt to view all cycle count waves.
  6. Scroll through the list and press Enter to select a wave.
  7. Scan the product.

    If you scan an item that has a valid cross-reference, the product that is associated with the cross-reference is displayed.

  8. Scroll through the list and press Enter to select the location you are counting.

    The warehouse zone and aisle are honored for the bin locations used during the physical count. If an aisle is specified, then a zone must be specified, otherwise you receive an error. If you are counting a location the system considers empty, the message Empty-Count is displayed in the UPC Code field. You cannot count the location.

    See Planned for more information.

    Additional line item information is available when you use the arrow keys to scroll to the right, or press F6 to view details.

    The lot number is displayed on the RF device when you perform cycle counting on a lot item. If you scroll to the right when you display the multiple zones and aisles, the lot number is displayed above the UPC number.

  9. Scan the location, product number, and specify the quantity in the location.

    The quantity may not correspond to the quantity TWL expects. If not, you receive a message indicating the quantities do not agree and instructing you to count again.

  10. Specify the quantity again. When you confirm the quantity and TWL accepts the quantity, the screen is cleared.
  11. In the Cycle Count Selection screen, select another location that is assigned to the wave, or press F4 to exit.
