Road Map: Alternate Physical Count Entry

Use the Alternate Physical Count Entry (HAE) program to enter counts from pre-printed physical inventory tags and change the count for a tag. See Background for more information.

Before you run this program each time

You should run these programs:

  • Cycle Count Preparation (HCP) to select items to be counted.

Before you run this program the first time

You should run these programs:

  • System Options Maintenance (XM) (Enterprise Options) to select a date display format for your enterprise, Branch Maintenance (TBM) to select a date display format for your branch, or User Maintenance (UIM) to select a date display format for an individual user.

  • Branch Maintenance (TBM) to set up branches.

  • Enterprise Item Maintenance (IM) to set up items.

  • Branch Item Maintenance (IMB) to set up items in your branch and optionally enter the Count freq field.

After you run this program

You will most likely run these programs:

  • Missing Tag Report (HTQ) to print a report that shows tag numbers that have been entered in the Alternate Physical Count Entry (HAE) program and those that are missing.

  • (Optional) Item Insertion (HCI) to add items to an active inventory cycle.

  • Physical Inventory Deviation Listing (HDL) to print the quantity on-hand, the quantity counted, the deviation, and cost variance for items with a deviation.  

  • Physical Inventory Update (HCU) to update on-hand inventory balances based on deviations recorded in Inventory Deviation Listing (HDL) and update the general ledger if you have inventory interfaced to the GL.
