Cycle Count Record View

The Cycle Count Record View allows users to view and adjust multiple lot balances simultaneously from a list view. This feature simplifies the inventory adjustment transaction creation and therefore it is particularly useful when multiple lot balances must be adjusted.

(lightbulb) This record view also contains columns for each Attribute that is set up for the 'Items' and 'Production Batches' attribute types. However, because these attributes are user defined, they are not included in the help documentation.

Attributes Tab

FieldsDescription
AttributesThe Attributes displayed are determined by the Attribute Setup and the Assign Attribute Rules. The Attributes can be setup and assigned to the transaction type in the Attributes section of the Company module (Company → Attributes → Inventory).
AvailableThis field displays whether or not the attribute is available and required. Only available attributes will be displayed with a 'Yes' followed by whether or not it is a required attribute. Required attribute values must be entered before saving the transaction as Approved or Ready to Post.
ValueThe values in each attribute lookup are determined by the values created for the attribute, as set up in the Attributes setup in the Company module.

Toolbar IconsDescription
Column Filter Show/Hide Toggles between displaying and hiding a filter row in the grid under the column headers. The filter row will be displayed by default if the Quick Column Filter is also implemented in the page. When enabled, this will allow users to type in text to filter by a specific column.
ExcelExport the contents of the list view to an Excel file that will automatically download. The contents that export are those that are visible to the user. Therefore, if the user has filtered the view only the filtered contents will be exported. 
Group By Show/Hide Toggles between displaying and hiding a row in the grid above the column headers to enable grouping by one or more column(s). Once displayed, users may drag and drop column headers to group by a specific column. Once the grid is grouped by a column(s), a subtotal footer row will display in the grouping for columns that have a page footer total. 
Quick Column Filter Used to filter across all columns in the grid. When the user types text into the Quick Column Filter text box, the grid's Filter Row will be automatically hidden. The text in the Quick Column Filter text box automatically replaces any existing Filter Row filters. The results of the data immediately refresh as you enter text.
Saved Layouts

 Displays the column layout lookup and related icons. This tool allows users to select a previously saved layout, create a new layout, save changes to a layout, forget/delete a layout and/or assign a saved layout as the default for the page. Once changes are made to the layout, such as columns are added or removed, the user can click the Save Layout icon and save the changes to the column layout. The visibility of the Filter Row is also saved with a saved layout. The new layout can also be set as the default. This is useful for creating specific views to separate master files or transaction types (i.e. Invoice specific vs. Credit Memo specific).  Default layouts can be removed by clicking the 'Set as Default' button again when the current default layout is selected.  

Please note that existing saved grid layouts will display the Filter Row as hidden by default.

This value defaults from the 'Production Batch' value specified on the Inventory transaction that created the Production Batch. This can be edited from the 'Production Batch' field on the Properties tab of the Production Batch record view.

A Production Batch is the identifier that contains all the Traceability information (Production Batch Properties and Attributes) for Lot Tracked Items. This number stays attached to the product, even if it is transferred to another Site. Production Batch is one of the 5 components that make up a unique Inventory Lot and it is required when entering a transaction line for a Lot Tracked Item. This value will be blank and/or disabled for all non-Lot Tracked items on screens that include a Production Batch field.

An Inventory Lot is the most granular level that item balances (quantities of Units and/or Weight) are stored within NorthScope. Inventory Lots are created for all Inventory Items assigned an Item Type of “Inventory', regardless of whether the Item is Lot Tracked (i.e., balances are maintained by Production Batch) or the Site containing the product is 'Warehouse Lot' tracked or not. 

An Inventory Lot is unique by combination of:

  • Item: The Item ID (required for all Inventory Lots)
  • SiteThe Site/Warehouse that contains the inventory (required for all Inventory Lots)
  • Production BatchThe date code or other traceability reference that stays with product and never changes. It is required for Items with a 'Lot Tracked' property of "Yes" and will be blank for Items with a 'Lot Tracked' property of "No"
  • Warehouse LotThe identifier or location within a Site/Warehouse, this is most typically used for 3rd party distribution sites. It is required for 'Inventory Lots' in a Warehouse Lot tracked Site and will be blank for 'Inventory Lots' in a non Warehouse Lot tracked Site. This has nothing to do with whether the Item is 'Lot Tracked' or not. 
  • Owner: Identifies who owns the product. This is required for all Inventory Lots.

Database Field: ERPx_IMProductionLot.ProductionLotID

ReasonThis field displays the reason why the lot is listed in the grid (All Balances are Zero, Mismatch of On-Hand Units & Weight or Negative On Hand Balance). This is a non-editable text box that is not required. The field is blank if the lot’s balance is not zero, mismatched or negative. This field is for informational use only, is not stored in the database and is never editable. 
Reason Code

Identifies the reason the balances are being adjusted. This is a single-select standard lookup that is required to process an adjustment only when the Inventory Preference 'Require Reason Codes for all Adjustment lines’ is set to "Yes". It defaults from the 'Default Reason Code' selected on the 'Home' tab. If missing and required, the message "Reason Codes are required for all Adjustment transaction lines" will be displayed when the Process Adjustment button is clicked. This field is always editable and will be saved to the resulting Adjustment transaction.

The lookup contains the following options:

  • Cycle Count
  • Dump And Destroy
  • Variable Item Correction

Database Fields: ERPx_MFNoteTypeReasonCode.ReasonCode, ERPx_IMTransactionHeader.ReasonCodeSK

A Warehouse Lot (aka Storage Lot) is used by 3rd party distribution sites to identify a unique quantity of product they are storing. Unlike a Production Batch number that never changes, Warehouse Lots will change as product is transferred to other Sites and/or transferred into exiting Warehouse Lots within the same Site. The 'Warehouse Lot' is one of the 5 components that make up a unique Inventory Lot and it is required when entering a transaction line on a transaction for a Warehouse Lot Tracked Site. This value will be blank and/or disabled for all non-Warehouse Lot Tracked Sites on screens that include a Warehouse Lot field.
