    Description
    This field is automatically populated once the inventory count code has been entered, but can be amended as required.

    The inventory count can specify ranges of inventory storage locations, item codes and batch references to be included in the count, as well as up to five analysis codes and up to five location storage characteristics. You can use up to four run time overrides, which allow you to enter values differing from the default at run time, if required. If any overrides are specified, they appear on the Generate Inventory Count form so you can enter the required values, as follows:

    Warehouse Range From and To
    The warehouses to be included in the count.
    Zone Range From and To
    The zones to be included in the count.

    The product group codes to be included in the count.
    Pareto Code Range From and To
    The pareto codes to be included in the count.
    Analysis Code
    The analysis code to be included in the count. This can be repeated for up to four analysis dimension/code overrides at run time. The dimension is specified in the setup, but the code ranges required can be entered here.

    Alphanumeric Range From and To
    The values to be included in the count if the type of data for the storage characteristic is alphanumeric range.
