Performing cycle counts – by lot, location, and LPN

  1. From the RF device Main menu, select Task Manager. The Task Manager (TMM) screen is displayed.
  2. Select Standard. The Task Manager (TM) screen is displayed.
    Note: If the Labor Module within the SCE application is enabled and you did not select to start work, a message indicating that you need to start work before continuing is displayed. See the Infor WMS Productivity and Labor User Guide for information on starting and stopping work.
  3. Specify this information:
    Area
    Area in which the operator is working
    Task
    By selecting Cycle Count, you restrict the task user to receiving cycle count tasks only.
  4. Press Enter. If applicable, the application sends the first cycle count task to the associate. The Cycle Count (TCC1) is displayed.

    If the SCE Labor module is enabled, the standard time for the task is displayed on the screen.

  5. Scan or specify this information to complete the count.
    Loc
    Location being counted.
    Lpn
    License plate being counted.
    Qty
    Quantity counted for count.
    UOM

    Defaults to EA (Each). You can change the unit of measure if the quantity entered is in a different UOM format. For example, you can record the count in cases instead of eaches.

    Pack

    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.

    To see a list of the Lot Attributes associated with the item being counted, press F3.

    If the option for Show System Quantity was set to Yes during the count release, the system quantity displays for the operator. If this parameter was set to No, the Qty field in the upper portion of the screen is blank.

  6. Press Enter.
    The application determines the result of the count according to cycle class variances assigned to the item.

    If no cycle class is assigned, no cycle class variances go into effect. If the count does not match the application quantity, but is within variance, the Count Discrepancy message is displayed.

  7. To exit the message and return to the Cycle Count screen, press Esc.
  8. If applicable, repeat the count by entering modified values.
  9. To generate new inventory currently not in the system, press F3.
    When prompted, enter Location and LPN of the inventory to be added. The system then checks whether or not the entered LPN already exists in another warehouse location.

    If LPN only exists in one location, the system then validates whether the inventory is in Allocated status, HOLD, or neither.

    • Allocated

      If the location is Allocated, the following message displays:

      Inventory already exists in location XXX. 
      This inventory is allocated therefore it cannot be 
      added or moved.

      A cycle count record is then created and displayed in the Cycle Count Maintenance screen for the counted inventory.

      • The Cycle Count Header and Cycle Cont Detail will be (4) Location Mismatch.
      • Cycle Count Detail Notes field displays:
        Inventory already exists in location XXX. 
        This inventory is allocated therefore it cannot be 
        added or moved.
    • HOLD

      If the location is on HOLD, the following message displays:

      Inventory already exists in location XXX. 
      Location XXX is on HOLD therefore inventory cannot be 
      added or moved.
      • The Cycle Count Header and Cycle Cont Detail will be (4) Location Mismatch.
      • Cycle Count Detail Notes field displays:
        Inventory already exists in location XXX. 
        Location XXX is on HOLD therefore inventory cannot be 
        added or moved.
    • Not Allocated and Not HOLD

      If inventory is neither on Hold or Allocated, the following messages displays:

       Inventory exists in location XXX. System is moving 
      inventory to correct location.
    If LPN exists in multiple locations, the This LPN is in multiple locations. See your supervisor. is displayed.
    If the LPN does not exist:
    • A receipt screen displays so new inventory can be entered.
    • This screen will bypass the Receipt Validation for RF Receiving - Item not on ASN.
    • The system checks the lottable validation assigned to the item. Appropriate fields display, including catch weight/data and serial numbers, for capturing inventory.

    If the count does not match the application quantity and is under the variance set for the item, the Count Discrepancy, Under Count Variance message is displayed.

    If the count does not match the application quantity and is over the variance set for the item, the Count Discrepancy, Over Count Variance message is displayed.

  10. Press Esc to finish and complete the task.

    If the SCE Labor module is enabled, the task performance information is displayed.
