Save Current Quantities

Program/Screen: RACBQC/RACBQCFM1

Description:

Use this program to clear existing bulk item "frozen" counts from the EQPCCLPI file that come from the previous physical inventory, and to "freeze" bulk item counts in that same file for the current physical inventory.  Run this program second when preparing to count bulk equipment.

 

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