Count without Differences
Explanation
From the Count Handling Units page this activity is used to confirm the on-hand quantity of all
the stock records attached to a handling unit.
From the header of the Count per Count Report page this activity is used to confirm the on-hand
quantity of all uncounted stock records included on the count report.
From the Count per Count Report/Details tab this activity is used to confirm the on-hand quantity
of the selected stock record.
From the Count per Count Report/Aggregated tab this activity is used to confirm the on-hand
quantity of all the stock records attached to a handling unit. If only a part of the handling unit content is
included in the count report or the stock record is not attached to a handling unit this activity is used to
confirm the on-hand quantity for each location.
Note: If the quantity on-hand is more than what is stated in the system Count Per Inventory
Part, Count per Count Report/Details, or the record extended section of the Count Per
Count Report/Aggregated page should be used.
Prerequisites
- If counting limits are to be used, they must have been entered on the Site/Warehouse Management page
General tab.
- Parts attached to the handling unit should not have the planning method O, K, T.
- The handling unit cannot be in transit.
System Effects
- If you have entered a note in the Note field on the Count Handling Units page, it will be displayed in
the Count Result Per Inventory Part page. If inventory transactions are created, the note will be included in
them.
- The Last Count Date field on the Count Handling Units page will be updated when you have counted the
handling unit. Note that the Last Count Date field will show the oldest date of all the counted stock
records in the handling unit. If there is a stock record that has never been counted, the field will be empty.
For example, if the handling unit contains stock records for part A and B, and both of the stock records are
counted, the oldest count date among the two records will be fetched to this field. If one of the stock records
has never been counted then this field will be empty.
- If the stock is unfrozen when performing the Count without Difference command, the current On Hand Qty
fetched from the Inventory Parts in Stock will set as Counted Qty.As a result of this, the count report line
Counted Qty will be updated with the current Qty on Hand as stored in the application. In this scenario, it is
recommended to perform the Count Without Difference command per line first, then compare the values stored in
Counted Qty and On Hand Qty to ensure they correspond to the actual quantity at the location. If they do not
match, the Counted Qty should be updated manually. Note: Compare the current On Hand Qty with the actual stock on
the location (Inventory Parts in Stock page). This feature is available on the Count per Count Report.
- If the stock is frozen then On Hand Qty will be fetched and saved as a snapshot value from the stock record
into the count report line. Then, when executing the Count Without Difference command, the count report line will
be updated with the snapshot quantity if there is no on-hand quantity and counted quantity for that record. Note:
This feature is available on the Count per Count Report.
