The Basic Count application is used to perform inventory counts if you have not purchased the Advanced Inventory Count application. The Basic Count acts as an interface around the Physical Inventory Journal. If you have purchased the Advanced Inventory Count application, please see the Advanced Inventory Count page.

Core features of this application include:

• Manual Counting
• Cycle Counting

You can access the Basic Count application from the Home screen by clicking Basic Count. When launched, the Basic Count Lookup List page opens.

1. Scan the bin to count in.
2. Scan the item to count.
3. Enter the quantity counted.

The Scan Behaviors page can be configured to control aspects of this process. For example, you can configure the quantity dialog to not appear but increment the count by one, or change the default quantity or unit of measure to count in.
