Initiating the Physical Count

Before updating counts on the Create/Update counts dialog users must initiate the Physical Count system. This process will also lock the Inventory Management module and prevent any changes to the items in the system.

Note: Be sure that all purchase orders have been received, and all cases have been depleted prior to initiating the physical inventory. 

To initiate the Physical Count system

1. From the Inventory Management module Sheet Bar, click Initiate under the Physical Inventory heading.
2. A message appears notifying you that, "Initiating Physical Inventory will restrict activity in the program that impacts supply resource quantity on hand."
   • Click Yes to continue and prevent any changes to the items in the system.
   • Click No to cancel the initiation and return to the previous screen.
