DETAILS

Automatic Scheduling

Oracle Inventory uses the number of items in each cycle count class, the
count frequency of each class, and the workday calendar of your
organization to determine how many and which items you need to
count during the scheduling frequency.

In order for Inventory to perform automatic scheduling you must:

Set the Cycle Count Enabled item attribute to Yes for the items you want to include in the cycle count.
Enable automatic scheduling when you define your cycle count.
Request the schedule using the Generate Automatic Schedule Requests window.

Each time the auto scheduler runs, it schedules counts only for the
schedule interval you defined for the cycle count header. So if your
schedule interval is weeks, Inventory schedules all items that need to
be counted on all of the workdays in the current week. If your
schedule interval is days, then Inventory only schedules those items
that are due for counting on the current date.

1. Navigate to Cycle Counts Summary folder window or the Cycle Counts window.
2. Select a cycle count and choose Cycle Count Scheduler from the Tools menu. The Cycle Count Scheduler Parameters
window appears.
3. Indicate whether to include items belonging to the control group in the list of items for which to generate schedule
requests.
4. Choose OK to submit the request to the concurrent manager.

Manual Scheduling

You can manually schedule counts in addition to, or instead of those

generated with automatic scheduling. You can request counts for
specific subinventories, locators, and items, and set the count for any
inventory date. For example, you could enter a request to count item A
wherever it can be found in subinventory X. Or you could request to
count all item quantities in subinventory Y, locator B–100.

Since manually scheduled counts have no impact on automatically

scheduled counts, you can potentially count some items more
frequently than you had initially planned.

To manually schedule cycle count requests:

1. Navigate to the Manual Schedule Requests window or choose the Schedule button on the Cycle Counts Summary folder
window.
2. Enter the cycle count name you are scheduling.
3. Select the item or location (subinventory) for counting. You can manually schedule specific items by entering values in
different combinations of the item, revision, lot, serial number, subinventory, and locator fields.

If you do not enter an item, you must enter a subinventory. Inventory schedules a count of all items stocked in this
subinventory. If you enter an item and a subinventory, Inventory schedules the item to be counted only in this
subinventory.
4. Enter the date on which Inventory is to schedule the count you have specified. The date you enter cannot be before
today’s date and must be a valid workday as defined by the workday calendar for your cycle count.
5. Indicate whether to generate count requests for this item, revision, lot, serial number, subinventory, or locator
combination even if the system on–hand quantity is zero. This may be useful in performing exception–based counting to
verify that the actual on–hand quantity is indeed zero.
6. Save your work.

Physical Location Scheduling

You can use this feature to execute location–based cycle counting. You
first need to generate a schedule for counting each subinventory and
locator. You then need to enter the schedule requests for each locator,
specifying the schedule date.
