Create Count Files - SIINCTIN
Generate a count file for a cycle count or a complete warehouse count. The system builds a Set file of products located in a user-defined warehouse. The composition of products placed in the Set file is contingent on the process selected: complete warehouse count or cycle count. Optionally, the user can print a report of the count file that includes on-hand figures. The product may be pre-filled in the quantity counted field in the count file along with the quantity on hand. To do so, ensure common code SICT/SHOWQTY is set up. If products have been received into the wrong warehouse at any time in the past, they will appear on this report.
To process a Count File, the Warehouse ID and period for each cycle count within that warehouse must have been entered on the Warehouse (SIUPWH) page, the product must have been linked to a Class on the Product Information (PEUPPR) page and to the Warehouse ID on the Inventory (SIUPIN) page.
Warehouse: Enter the warehouse ID where the items are stocked.
Which type of Inventory Count File would you like to Create?: There are two options: CC (Complete Warehouse Count), and CY (Cycle Warehouse Count).
Inventory Selection Criteria: Selection criteria can be used to limit the items being counted. This is used (along with the CC type of file) if only one item needs the quantity adjusted and allows the user to enter the Product ID to be adjusted.
Count file name: Enter the file name. This name must be unique, start with an alpha character, and can be no longer than eight characters.
Would you like the report printed? This will default to Yes to produce a count sheet for warehouse staff to use when doing the physical count.
Would you like the current amounts shown on the report? This value defaults to No. It can be changed to Yes to display the current amounts on the report.
Line Printer Copies, Name, Pri.: Make sure to change this value from ARCHIVE to a physical printer.
