Procedure flow: Updating inventory counts

Update inventory counts

  1. Access Update Variances (IC175).
  2. Inquire on the job to receive the update.
  3. Select Yes in the Update field to update inventory counts.
    Caution: 
    Always run your reports in Report mode before you run them in Update mode. After you run in Update mode, you cannot reverse the action.
  4. Specify the general ledger post date.
  5. To erase the freeze records from the Inventory Control application, select Yes in the Delete Records field. IC175 does not perform delete of freeze records if variance update is not successful. For example, missing count.

    If you delete freeze records at this time, you cannot specify reason codes on Variance Reasons (IC76.1). If you have reason codes that need to be specified, select No in the Delete Records field and use Delete Freeze Records (IC179) to delete freeze records.

  6. Select the Change form action.
  7. Submit the job.
