Bulk Count Entry

Program/Screen: RABLKT/RABLKTC1

Description:

Use this program to enter physical inventory counts for bulk items.  Prior to entering counts, run the following programs:

 

• Create Bulk Count Records - clears previous physical inventory records
   

• Save Current Quantities - "freezes" current system counts of bulk items
   

• Equipment Tag Range Entry (for bulk range) - creates counts tags for bulk items

 

The counts entered for bulk items in this program populate the Equipment Count file (EQPCNTFL).  They are compared to the "frozen" counts in the EQPCCLPI file generated by the Save Current Quantities program.  Run the Bulk Count Compare/Update program to review the comparisons and count variances.
