Inventory Control > Adjustments > Inventory counts > Fill work area for next cycle count
This is used to automatically fill the Inventory Count Work Area with a Ticket for each item that is due to be counted based on the settings in Establish Cycle Count Frequency.
A ticket will be created for each item based on its ABC classification, the count frequency that you have established for each ABC classification, and the last time the item was counted. Therefore, you can run this utility as often as you like as a Ticket will not be created for an item until it is time to once again count the item.
The newly created Tickets will have a quantity of zero (0) and will have a status of “1” (open, incomplete) and will therefore not be processed until a quantity is entered for each Ticket.
You can print the Inventory Count Work Area Listing to act as a worksheet and, once the count for each item is entered, you can process the Tickets to update stock levels.
Questions & Options

d.Create a ticket for a specific list of stock locations: You can pick one or more locations to include. A Ticket will be created for each location specified.
