Create Bulk Count Records

Program/Screen: RACBQC/RACBQCFM

Description:

Use this program to clear existing bulk count records from the Equipment Count file (EQPCNTFL) from the previous physical inventory, and to create new bulk count records in that same file for the current physical inventory. Run this program first when preparing to count bulk equipment.

The counts entered for bulk items in Bulk Count Entry populate the Equipment Count file. 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.
