IC70


IC70.1 - Select IDs

**Form Purpose
Use Select IDs (IC70.1) to define select IDs for physical inventory cycle
counts.

Select IDs identify item groups and item selection parameters. You can define
multiple select IDs for different purposes such as complete physicals,
selected item cycle counts, or bin group counts.

**More Information
The first step of setting up a select ID is creating it using the Select ID
form. The form indicates whether the select ID is for all locations or for a
report group. You can include items with zero stock-on-hand quantities and
items with no unit cost. You can assign additional selection parameters to the
select ID by entering data into the forms for class and bin selection, logic
selection, and/or item selection.

Perform the following to do a physical inventory count using the Inventory
Control application.

Create select IDs. When you are ready to count items, you enter the select ID
in IC170 (Freeze Selected Items) to generate a freeze file. A freeze file is a
snapshot of current stock quantities for the selected items. After you create
a freeze file, you can run IC270 to print count sheets and/or tags for
recording purposes.

Enter actual item counts in IC72.1 (Counts by Page), IC73.1 (Count Detail),
or IC74.1 (Random Counts). By default, select IDs require you to enter actual
item counts. However, you can override this default when the select ID is set
up in IC70.1 (Select IDs) so that freeze quantities are considered valid
unless otherwise specified. Regardless of how you enter item counts, you must
select the Add form action to verify them.

Item counts are updated to inventory when you run IC175 (Update Variances) in
update mode. Prior to update, you can run IC175 in nonupdate mode to print the
Variance Report Next, you explain count variances by reason code in any count
entry form (IC72, IC73, or IC74). After update, you can only explain variances
in IC76.1 (Variance Reasons).
