Delete Freeze Records (IC179)

Run Delete Freeze Records (IC179) to delete freeze records created for a select ID in IC170 (Freeze Selected Items).

Processing Effect

Freeze records are snapshots of item stock-on-hand quantities. During the physical inventory update process, quantities are compared to actual count quantities in IC175 (Update Variances) to create variance entries for general ledger. If you do not select to delete freeze records at that time, you can delete them in this program. Also, run this program to delete freeze records if for some reason the physical inventory process is interrupted and you want to start over and create new freeze records.

More Information

You must delete freeze records before you can use the select ID again for another physical inventory count. When you delete records depends on when you explain count variances. If you explain variances prior to update, you can delete records in IC175 (Update Variances). If you explain variances after update you must delete records in this form after you explain variances by reason code in IC76.1 (Variance Reasons).

Note: You will not lose variance information if you delete records. You can print variance explanations in IC284 and accuracy progress in IC286.
