Introduction

This document provides instructions on how to match the quantity on hand (in the system) to the physical lens count in the inventory. Use these procedures to adjust your quantity on hand, report on the count that has been changed and adjust cost.

Procedure

Cycle Counts are one of the most important functions of Inventory Management. This procedure ensures that the actual number of lenses on the shelf match the inventory in the system. This is a multi-step process as follows:

1. Clear out any previous counts.
2. Print cycle count sheets that list the lens SKUs, bins locations and (expected) quantity on hand.
3. Physically count the inventory.
4. Variance Report lists any changes to the inventory that were found.
5. Update the system’s inventory to reflect the changes.
