Cycle counting is a warehouse process that you can use to audit on-hand inventory items. The cycle counting process can be described in three steps:
- Create cycle counting work Cycle counting work can be created automatically, based on threshold parameters for items or by using a cycle counting plan. Alternatively, you can manually create cycle counting work by using the item or warehouse parameters on the Cycle count work by item page or the Cycle count work by location page.
- Process the cycle count After cycle counting work is created, you do the cycle counting work by counting items in a warehouse location and then using a mobile device to enter the result in Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management. Alternatively, you can count items in a warehouse location without creating cycle counting work. This process is referred to as spot cycle counting.
- Resolve differences in the counted value After a cycle count, any items that have differences in the counted value will have a work status of Pending review on the All work page. You can resolve these differences on the Cycle count work pending review page.
