Confirm Counting Results
Explanation
This activity is used to confirm the count results entered on the Count Per Count Report page. The step
of reporting count results consists of both entering the results and then confirming the results. This means that
you can change the count result until it has been confirmed.
Prerequisites
- There must be a count report with a count result entered.
System Effects
- When the result is entered, it is validated against the count limits entered on the Site/Warehouse Management
page General tab. If the result passes the validation, the actual inventory transaction will be created and the
quantity at stock will be altered. If the result does not pass the validation, it will receive the
Rejected status and no inventory transaction will be created.
- The count report line will receive the Confirmed status.
- If you had entered a note in the Note field on the Count Per Count Report page, this will be
carried forward and displayed on the Count Results and Count Result Per Count Report pages. If
inventory transactions are created, the note will be included in them.
- When Freeze Stock on Rejected Count Result option is selected on the Site/Warehouse Management
page General tab, the system will freeze the stock record if the count result is rejected due to exceeding
the maximum counting difference limits set in Site/Warehouse Management
page General tab. If this option is not selected, the system does not prevent the
Inventory Parts in stock transactions during the remaining steps of the count result
operations.
Note: You cannot carry out counting in the project inventory for a closed project activity, as it is not
possible to increase the counting quantity for such a location. Instead, a positive counting difference should be
added to a standard inventory location, or to another project inventory location where the activity has not already
been closed.
If the result does
not pass the validation, it will receive the Rejected status, and no inventory transaction will be created. The
rejected lines from the count report will then be displayed on the Count Result per Count Report page. Then if a
user wants to recount those lines when the stock is not frozen, the user should first press the Freeze stock
command to remove the Counted Qty information to nullify that on the Count result line and at the same time the
system will take a new snapshot. A control report can also be printed to recount those rejected count report
lines.
