Cycle Count DMR Warehouse

hi,
yes, every other cycle count in every other plant and warehouse are
working fine. the rest of the warehouses do not have non-nettable
bins, however. i know that i can do a BAQ to easily find materials
there, but finance wants to have system generated cycle count reports
on that warehouse at each plant just like we have for RM or FG
warehouses.

really to determine how accurate your processes and standards are.
So, if you have a bin of discrepant materials (Do you process DMR in
Vantage?) If you want to get an idea of what parts the system thinks
are located in a bin, you could build a BAQ fairly easily.However,
Cycle counts are really designed about parts, and not so much bins.
So, if you pull a part into the count tag program, and you have 2
bins within the "selected" warehouse in the program, you would
normally get two separate tags, one for each bin in the warehouse.So,
if this is the case, and you have parts located in what you are
labeling as a "DMR bin", and still have stock parts in the primary
regular "available" inventory bin, you should get at least one tag,
regardless if the second bin is non-nettable.It is possible to
literally have every different part in vantage "located" in one
single bin. So, in this case, the tag generation would still be one
tag per part per bin location.You can also pull up the part tracker
and see what shows up in the warehouse locations. This will give you
some idea where to look from a part perspective, and then you can see
what else might be overlooked in the process.CareyTo: vantage@...:

if this could be a failure to understand either on Epicor's part or
on ours. The bins being non-nettabl would seem to indicate to the
system that you don't care what's there or how many there are, so why
would you cycle count. On the other hand, we actually move parts in
and out and so would want to make sure that we have what we say we
have.amy>> What parts are there?> I do not believe I have attempted

What parts are there?

Amy, another thought...
I was wondering if you actually did the ABC definitions and calculations before attempting to do cycle counts.
Do you have other counts for this plant that are working?
