Defaults to STD. You can change the default to record the quantity count and unit of measure using a different pack code.
The upper portion of the screen is read-only, but you can edit the lower portion of the screen. The cycle count discrepancy rule assigned to the item determines whether the item is counted. If it is required, the associate is automatically prompted to capture the correct information.
