InventoryCountLines

This component runs the Inventory Count Entry (ICE) function.

It allows you to import the counted quantities from a physical inventory count or inventory quantities from an external application into the SunSystems Inventory module.

The settings in the Inventory Count determine whether you need to supply counted quantities for all lines, or just the lines where the count quantity differs from the expected quantity.

Note: To use this component, the SunSystems Inventory Count (ICS) must have Generate Empty Count and Recalculate Expected Quantity fields set to checked. They must not be blank. Only non-validated item characteristics can be used. This is a setting in the Item Master Characteristics that must be set to checked before you can import an Item code that has Characteristics. It must not be blank.

You must first generate an empty count by running the SunSystems Inventory Count Generate (ICG) function and note the system generated inventory count number. You will need to specify this (or other) count number in the <InvyCntLineCons_InvyCntNum> payload element, before you import counted quantities.

When run, a single docket page number is used to hold all the count lines, these are on page 1.

If you want to have multiple docket pages to organize the count into more manageable page sizes, you can run the Inventory Count Listing (ICL) function. After the report has been generated, open Inventory Count Entry (ICE) function and it will have been sorted into docket pages.
