Stock Take and Cycle Count / Reports / Stock Take Prep Report [STK050]
Use this screen in preparation for a stock takeThis report is used when preparing a Stock Take or inventory count, specifically for a closed pallet count. This report will display every pallet that must be counted and when a stock take or cycle count was last done. The report also includes the last transactions on the pallet.
The concept is that if the last movement on a pallet was a cycle count or the pallet quantity now matches the original pallet quantity, then the pallet quantity is accurate. This means the pallet can be wrapped up and counted in a ‘closed pallet stock take’ to confirm it is in the recorded bin and not have to be opened up and recount all the stock on the pallets. Closed pallet stock takes significantly faster than open pallet stock for this reason, but usually only possible on slower-moving stock or stock in bulk bins.
A warehouse manager may typically schedule a cycle count for all the slow-moving stock before the actual stock count weekend. The last transaction on the TrackID will be a Cycle Count, and therefore the pallets can be counted as ‘closed’ pallets, which will drastically speed up the stock takeIn a warehouse inventory stock take, a closed pallet count refers to counting and verifying the inventory on a pallet without opening or breaking down the pallet's packaging. This method is typically used when the pallet is fully sealed or when the items on the pallet are uniform.
The report displays every pallet available in a selected warehouse in DATASCOPE PREMIUM WMS, including stock counts and Lot details on each pallet. The last transaction on each pallet is also visible to ensure an informed decision about whether to count the details of the pallet in the stock take or whether the pallet can be counted as a closed pallet.
The warehouse manager must run this report a week or two weeks before the scheduled stock-take date for the desired warehouse to get a clear overview of which pallets can be counted as closed pallets, which must be opened, and all stock codes must be counted.

The Cycle Count Date column indicates the last time the TrackID was cycle counted.
Typically, a cycle count will be scheduled for all slow-moving stock before the actual stock count weekend. If the last transaction on a TrackID was a cycle count (visible in the Cycle Count Date column), it can be counted as a closed pallet count.
The Movement Date and MovementType columns display the last movement for the specific TrackID. These values can help the warehouse manager determine if a TrackID needs to be opened and if each stock code should be counted or wrapped and counted as part of the closed pallet stock take.
If the last movement, displayed in the MovementType column, is PICKING or PALLET_CONSOLIDATION, all TrackIDs must be physically counted.
If the last movement is STOCKTAKEor CYCLECOUNT, the TrackID will still have the correct QTY and can be counted as a closed pallet stock take.
