Defining Count Modification Groups

Tasks are scheduled based on a blind count methodology initially. This methodology does not show the user the current system quantity. This methodology is the most accurate and exhaustive method to ensure that all users perform counts accurately.

These count tasks are run through RF, which allows for online inventory updates and the ability to interleave count tasks during the process of a regular workday.

In some stores, inventory is tracked at a tag number or serial number level. The count at these granular levels is cumbersome and requires opening of packages. In such situations, you can perform count without specifying these granular attributes. However, variance resolution of these tasks has to be done at the granular level.

Sterling Selling and Fulfillment Foundation supports modifications through the Console and APIs. It is critical for you to decide which modifications are allowed for each modification type, modification level, and status combination.

Important: Contemplate business and system integration implications before allowing a modification that is disallowed as part of the system defaults.

You can configure status modification rules and types. The set of rules and types can be classified into modification groups. Each modification group can be associated with a user-defined condition. For more information about modification groups, see the Configuring Sterling Distributed Order Management.
