'Manual' performing Cycle Count part selection outside of Epicor suggestion

Epicor ERP 10

I understand that the Epicor will select parts to be cycle counted based on the defined schedule, the ABC code and the parts last cycle count date.

However, we have some warehouses that have a manageable number of parts and would like them not to spread out as much as the system is spreading them out between cycles, i.e. 1 or 2 parts per day.

Basically, we want to tell the Epicor we want 20 parts per each ABC code every day.

The issue we are running into is that the system doesn’t grab everything in the warehouse since it’s not technically ready for count (since we ran the initialize last cycle count process when we started using the Epicors cycle count process).

Is there any way to count everything in a warehouse at once even if it’s not ‘due’ to be counted? Or grab bigger chunks of parts than what the Epicor is suggesting?

I can only think of selecting a large range of dates to try and capture everything in the warehouse, but then that will create a ton of cycle periods that we will need to go in and out of (not ideal).

We could also use the PCID part selection and just dump the qty of parts we want per ABC in the warehouse but are trying to get away from as much manual input as possible.

Thoughts? Solutions? Is it possible?

Thanks!

if you want to count everything in the warehouse, you would use a full physical. but if you want to force to always count X parts per day, then you can use what is called “Random” selection. Once you specify random, then you are also asked how many a, b, and c items to count per PERIOD… so if you want 20 A’s per period, and there are 20 days in your period, then you would specify 400 A items. The system will select those 400 A items and then “randomly” spread them across the 20 days.
