The following control records affect cycle counting. Access control records using the System control file option on the System File Maintenance menu:
Indicate whether to include Saturdays in the number of days for a cycle count run.
Indicate whether to include Sundays in the number of days for a cycle count run.
Indicate whether general ledger entries should be generated for cycle count variances when Count Compare/Update is run in Update mode. The inventory account from the GLREVDFL Rental Asset account is debited or credited accordingly. The offsetting account comes from the expense code entered in this control record.
Indicate whether to include bulk equipment in the cycle counts.
Enter the starting number for cycle count groups. For example, if a count cycle is 40 days long, days 1 through 40 are assigned cycle count 1; days 41 through 80 are assigned cycle count 2; and so on.
Enter the ending number for cycle count groups. It is recommended to set this number as high as the field allows.
This is the number that the system will assign to the next cycle count group. The number increments by 1 when the end of a count cycle is reached. For example, if a count cycle is 40 days long, days 1 through 40 are assigned cycle count 1; days 41 through 80 are assigned cycle count 2; and so on.
Enter the number of days in one count cycle for equipment. This setting is used with other control record data when the NIGHTLY Cycle Count program is run. Once the number of days has been reached, the program begins the next cycle.
Enter the time using a 24 hour clock in HH:MM format for the cutoff time for a day. This will be used by the NIGHTLY program when creating count records. Records will be created for a cycle day if the time is greater than this time.
If you entered Y for Post GL for Bulk Equipment, enter the expense code to use as the offset to the inventory account from the GLREVDFL Rental Asset account.
Enter equipment types that you want to exclude from cycle counting.
