Introduction for Physical Inventory

 

The Physical Inventory module is to manage the physical inventory count.  The user has the choice of using count tags or a count worksheet. The inventory is physically counted and then input into the system. More than one user may input into the system at a time.  Note:  The users must exit and re-enter the screen to refresh if an action was done on another work station.  Only one user may post.   IMPORTANT NOTE:  DO NOT MOVE ANY MATERIAL WHILE THE COUNT IS TAKING PLACE.  Once the count is input into the system, the system provides for a reconciliation between the Inventory Master and the physical count.  If the count is different than the record, the user is prompted whether to accept the difference or to recount and re-enter. If the count equals the Inventory Master, there is no adjustment required and the number counted will drop off of the reconciliation list.  Once the reconciliation is completed, the user may print out a reconciliation report.  Then, after reviewing, the user may update the quantity on hand in the Inventory Master.  Note:  This takes a high level password or special rights as assigned in Security.  Once this is done, the accounting journal entries will update automatically, if the MANEX accounting module is used.
