Freeze, observe and review a bounded count

Count A-01 against its frozen baseline, then apply one reviewed difference.

For supervisors

Use an authorised account and only supported physical facts. This recording uses an isolated synthetic stockroom with prepared approved materials, rules, opening stock and a selected station.

Read these instructions on any device. Watch or practise a chapter on a desktop or laptop, with a desktop or mobile application layout. Demonstrations use sample data and simulated scanners.

Freeze, observe and review a bounded count

  1. Choose the floor menu

    Choose the floor menu.

    Use the shared Floor menu for physical stock tasks.

  2. Open Count a frozen bin

    Open Count a frozen bin.

    A supervisor starts a bounded count. A-01 holds fifteen pieces in this prepared example; the separate A-02 count is untouched.

  3. Confirm the physical facts

    Confirm the physical facts.

    Select only the exact bin quantity ready to count. Receiving and staging are outside this scope.

  4. Enter reason

    Enter reason.

    Explain why this bounded count is ready to start.

  5. Confirm the physical facts

    Confirm the physical facts.

    Reconcile already moved material first so the count baseline represents the physical boundary.

  6. Freeze the selected row

    Freeze the selected row.

    Quantity changes for this scope now pause during the count window. Other bins are separate.

  7. Choose the new frozen count

    Choose the new frozen count.

    Open the newly created A-01 count. The older prepared A-02 count belongs to the separate CountBench exercise.

  8. Choose row being counted

    Choose row being counted.

    Select the exact frozen row. Missing observations never become zero.

  9. Enter actually observed in each

    Enter actually observed in each.

    This exercise physically observes fourteen pieces. Enter zero only when none were actually counted.

  10. Record the physical observation

    Record the physical observation.

    Recording an observation does not itself post the discrepancy. Review remains separate.

  11. Enter review reason

    Enter review reason.

    An authorised supervisor checks the supported difference before applying it.

  12. Prepare the reviewed difference

    Prepare the reviewed difference.

    Review the retained baseline, accepted observation and proposed difference. A stale proposal must be prepared again.

  13. Apply the reviewed difference once

    Apply the reviewed difference once.

    Apply the exact current proposal with recent Accounts verification. Retain its receipt and do not post the difference again.

Watch or practise this chapter

Check retained receipts after uncertainty. Do not repeat a movement with a new request identity until the original result is known.
