When doing a Cycle Count, the users will start by counting and capturing the quantities on the physical floor. The Cycle Count module on the HTML5 scanners will be used.

Try it!

  • To open the HTML 5 scanner window from the PC, go to the Ribbon bar at the top and select Launch HTML 5. This will open the HTML 5 sub-menu.

  • Click on the Launch HTML 5 icon.

  • Your HTML 5 window will load

HTML 5 scanner window

  • You will notice that all the modules will be visible

  • Use the search icon to easily search for the Cycle Count module or browse through the windows to locate it

Search for Cycle Counting

  • Click the Cycle Count button to open the window

  • Click on the Count Tab

  • Type or scan the Bin number in the Bin field. This is the Bin you want to Cycle Count

  • Select TAB

  • A pop-up will appear asking you whether you want to do a Full Bin Count

  • Select OK to do a Full Bin Count

  • Next, you must scan (or type in) the TrackID that is physically in the bin

  • Select TAB

  • If only one TrackID exists, the scanner will autoload the stock code and description

  • If more than one Stock Code exists, you will have to select one

  • Enter the quantity in the Quantity field after counting the physical stock in the TrackID

  • The Reason drop-down is not available in FASTTRACK WMS. Reason Codes can be set up for cycle count posts in the Premium version of the software, DATASCOPE WMS.

  • Select the Post button

  • Once all stock codes on the TrackID are counted, a pop-up may appear asking if you want to move on to the next TrackID

  • Select OK (if more items must be counted)

  • The count will be posted, and you can scan (or enter) the next TrackID in that Bin

  • If any item that is counted is a Lot Traceable item, and there is only one lot number on the scanned TrackID, that Lot Number and its expiry date will also autoload along with the stock code and description.  If there are multiple lots on the scanned TrackID, you will be required to scan the Lot Number you are counting or select it from the drop-down

  • Again, you can enter your quantity and select Post

  • Continue counting all the physical TrackIDs in the current Bin by adding the quantities and posting it

  • The user can select the End TrackID button to complete the current TrackID or select the End Bin button when done counting the entire Bin

  • Exit the scanner-based screen once counting is completed

Let us now look at reviewing and processing these adjustments on the PC-based screen.
