Count requests are initiated through the console on an ad hoc basis. System events like exception being recorded during putaway, retrieval or pick, or location quantity dropping below minimum levels or to zero can be used to initiate a count request.
A request also includes date and time parameters indicating the start and end time expected for the task.
For example, a user may request a count for a zone that has slow moving items to start the next day by assigning a low priority.
Count Requests may also be generated on a regular basis to consistently maintain inventory accuracy.
A count request is also created through the Event Management and inventory monitors, when inventory at a location reaches zero quantity or when minimum or maximum inventory levels are breached.
