Counts by Page (IC72.1)

Use Counts by Page (IC72.1) to enter item counts by the page for a select ID. You must create a freeze file in IC170 (Freeze Selected Items) before you can use this form. A freeze file is basically a snapshot of item records for a select ID defined in IC70.1 (Select IDs). Page numbers and line numbers are defined when you create a freeze file for a select ID.

More Information

By default select IDs require you to enter actual item counts. However, a select ID can be set up not to require count entries. In this case, freeze quantities display and can be changed if variances exist. Regardless of whether or not count entries are required, you must enter or verify them using the Add form action.

This form lets you enter page totals if required. If a page total is equal to zero, enter the value X in the Page Total Zero field. If a select ID includes bin group(s), the bin group displays on this form. Also, the lot or serial number displays in place of the item description when applicable.

Item counts are updated to inventory when IC175 (Update Variances) is run in update mode. Prior to update you can run IC175 in nonupdate mode to print the Variance Report, then explain variances by reason code in any count entry form (IC72, IC73, or IC74). After update you must use IC76.1 (Variance Reasons) to explain variances by reason code. You can only use reason codes for reporting purposes. You cannot use reason codes to override the normal general ledger offset account set up for physical inventory in IC04.1 (General Ledger Category).

Note: Performing a physical inventory count using the Inventory Control application involves several steps. Refer to the Inventory Control User Guide for more information.
