2 On the Inventory Management menu under Cycle Counts, click on the link for Select Items for Cycle Count. After this process is run, the count is created. It must be completed through an actual physical count. This process should be run within 48-hours of the actual physical count. If time passes between when this process is run and the actual physical count, the beginning quantities must be reset using the Reset Frozen Value process. Page 2 of 25

Item Number With this Data Selection, you would need to specify individual Item Numbers. 4. Cycle Count Category This is an optional field that can be used when Items are setup to indicate how often the Item is counted (i.e. Quarterly).
