Cycle Counting 

Use

As a cycle-counting procedure, Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) supports product-specific cycle counting.

Cycle counting means that you carry out a physical inventory of your stocks at regular intervals during a fiscal year.

By allocating products to different classes (for example, A, B, C, and D), you specify for those products the intervals or cycles at which you are going to carry out the physical inventory. This allows you to inventory fast-moving products in your warehouse more frequently than slow-moving ones for instance.

In the warehouse management monitor, you can monitor the progress of physical inventory for cycle counting. For example, you can determine which products are still to be counted.

To be able to provide proof of individual movements involving the products during the entire fiscal year, you must archive the warehouse tasks (WTs) in accordance with legal provisions.
