Counting warehouse inventory

Counting inventory is done at the warehouse level. There are two primary ways to count the existing inventory at each warehouse:

• Performing a cycle count: Count your inventory quantities at each warehouse and stock location on a scheduled, cyclical basis. You can define cycle-count triggering options at each warehouse to instruct the system to create a cycle count record each time a particular inventory event occurs at that warehouse.
• Performing a physical inventory: Perform a physical count of the inventory in a warehouse. This process prints tags and/or sheets for personnel to use when they count the inventory in stock and then manually enter that information into the physical inventory system.
