Count as Zero
Explanation
From the Count Handling Units page this activity is used to count stock records attached to a
handling unit to zero.
From the Count Per Count Report/Aggregated tab this activity is used to count stock records
attached to handling unit to zero. 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 count all stock records for each
location to zero.
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
- The divergences between the quantity stated in the system and the counted quantity zero will be shown in the
created inventory postings, in Count Variance field in the record extended section on the Count Handling
Units page and in the Cumulated Counting Difference field on the Inventory Part/Main tab.
- If a limit is used for the site where the parts are counted, the counting results that do not meet the limits
will be rejected. In such a case, the result must be approved manually and a re-counting can be performed.
Rejected counting results do not change the stock On Hand Qty until the counting difference has been approved and
created the Inventory Transactions. Note:For the Count per Count Report, if the Freeze Stock on Rejected Count
Result option is enabled for the site, that stock record will be frozen until the count result is approved or
cancelled. If the Freeze Stock on Rejected Count Result option is not selected, the system does not
prevent Inventory Parts In Stock transactions during count result operations.
- If you have entered a note in the Note field on the Count Handling Units page, this will be displayed
on 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: 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.
