Inventory Counting / Posting - Items Selection Criteria Window 
For the Inventory Counting and the Inventory Posting windows, you can use the <Parent Window> - Items Selection Criteria to define various selection criteria for items. If a selected warehouse contains bin locations, you can narrow down your selection even further by restricting bin locations.
To access this window, in either the Inventory Counting or Inventory Posting window, choose the Add Items button and then choose Select Items.
Recommendation
Split inventory counting results across several documents and restrict your item selection as much as possible, depending on the system capability of your working computer. For example, create inventory counting documents per warehouse, per bin location, or per item group.

Warehouses Fields
The system selects only one warehouse by default. If the current user has a default warehouse (depending on the linked user defaults defined in the Defaults field of the corresponding Users - Setup window), this warehouse is selected; otherwise, the company-level default warehouse is selected (

Some warehouses may not store an item, or the system record of the item is currently zero in the warehouse. If you want to exclude from selection items with a zero quantity in these warehouses, select this checkbox. If the counting results reveal that an item does exist in a warehouse that has been excluded, you can manually add rows in the document to record the discrepancy between the system and the actual storage. Note that if your company allows negative inventory, and the quantity of an item falls below 0 in a warehouse, the item in this warehouse is not excluded from selection. |
Choose this button to further restrict item selection by defining selection criteria for bin locations. For more information, see Inventory Counting / Posting - Bin Location Selection Criteria Window. This button is available only if at least one selected warehouse has bin locations. |
