Workflow
Mobile cycle counting uses two pages: Start Cycle Count and Cycle Count.
Page 1 - Start Cycle Count
- Navigate to Inventory > Cycle Count.
- Choose a Count Type from the dropdown.
- Tap Run Cycle Count.
The app advances to the Cycle Count page.
Page 2 - Cycle Count
The Cycle Count page has two tabs: Count and Review. A status bar between the tabs reads: “Record stock levels for items. Close the cycle count when done.”
Count Tab
Enter one count line at a time:
- Use Filter Item / Desc to search, or tap Scan in the footer to scan a barcode.
- Select an Item from the dropdown.
- Filter and select a Location.
- Enter Units counted.
- Enter Serial/Lot for serialized items.
- Enter Alt Serial if alternate serial tracking is enabled.
- Expand More Options if needed:
- RFID - RFID tag identifier
- UOM - Unit of measure override
- Tap Add to stage the line.
Repeat for each item/location combination.
Review Tab
The Review tab lists all staged count lines.
- Use Filter Lines to search by item or location.
- Tap Reset Count to clear all staged lines and start over.
Footer Actions
The footer appears on the Cycle Count page throughout the session:
| Action | Description |
|---|---|
| Cancel | Cancel the current line entry |
| Skip | Skip the current item without recording a count |
| Scan | Activate barcode scanning |
| Submit | Close the count and send it for processing |
| Add | Stage the current line to the count |
Offline Behavior
Cycle Count can continue when item and location data has already been cached, but full offline behavior depends on your configuration. Submit the count after connectivity is restored if needed.
