Experience quicker data entry, reconciliation, and simplified posting

Advanced Inventory Count enhances Dynamics 365 Business Central physical inventory capabilities to allow for comprehensive count sheet creation, advanced reconciliation analysis, multi-user count data entry, and simplified journal posting.

Ensure all inventory is accurately accounted for

The module automatically identifies and manages WIP, reconciles it with other counted inventory, and posts the appropriate consumption and inventory adjustment entries.

Multi-user count entry

Speed up data entry by allowing multiple users to enter count data simultaneously. The count entry screen provides visual indicators of incorrect counts or data entry errors. Easily add additional items that were not on the original count sheets.

Flexible count sheet generation

Create Count Sheets that represent how you want to count inventory, such as sheets for specific count teams, locations, product types, etc. Easily define sheets for cycle counting or partial warehouse counts.

Simplified WIP counting

Accurately capture consumed and unconsumed WIP – the count module automatically reconciles WIP with inventory and production order consumption.

Powerful reporting to speed up the process

Inventory turns analysis

Easily identify obsolete inventory, items with improper planning parameters, and the financial impact of those issues. Automatically calculate and set inventory count periods based on inventory turns to simplify cycle count definition and management.

Integration with inventory barcodes

The Count Module is integrated with the Mobile Warehouse Data Collection app, and also provides a simple interface for integration with any other external data collection system. Leverage your investment in your hand-held data collection system for inventory counts.

Powerful reconciliation reporting

Speed up inventory discrepancy reconciliation with powerful reporting that evaluates differences by quantity, and provides full count details to quickly locate count errors.

Journal test report

Ensure that journal entries post the first time by using the comprehensive Count Module Journal Test Report. The report identifies all data that may prevent posting, including item tracking errors, and can provide a list of only those lines that will not post. The Enhanced Test Report works with all item journals.

Features

Flexible count sheet generation

Easily create count sheets that match how your company counts inventory

With flexible count sheet creation, users have the tools available to quickly and easily configure count sheets to simplify the inventory count process. This enables quick ad-hoc cycle counts, non-directed counts, or directed counts.

The flexible count sheet generation allows users to filter items and SKUs on almost any criteria to make sure you get exactly what you need on the count sheet.

Supports all Location configurations

Whether you have bins enabled or not, or even use “advanced warehousing”, the Advanced Inventory Count module will make your next count significantly more efficient.

If you don’t have bins enabled, you’ll appreciate being able to count the same item in multiple areas on different lines, and organize the count by Shelf No. You can also add new lines to the count as simply as adding a new record, unlike the Physical Inventory Journal.

If you use bins, you can lock the bins to prevent transactions while the count is in progress, or simply use the “As-Of Date” functionality to ignore transactions that occur after the count date.

Item tracking, both “Warehouse Tracked” and not, is supported, and the system will actually reconcile by lot and serial number.

You can count and reconcile multiple locations on the same count, allowing you to easily see if missing inventory in one location is offset by additional inventory in another.

Generate recount sheets

Improve inventory count accuracy between counts or partial counts with streamlined processes

Set up formal recounts during full physical counts or cycle counts based on a percentage, value, or quantity variance. Recount sheets provide an audit trail of the original count quantities and any subsequent recounts. Recount sheets allow warehouse users to easily identify what needs to be recounted and easily record the recount quantity.

In addition to making your count run more smoothly, you’ll love the ability to quickly and easily satisfy auditor’s spot checks or requests for validation data.

Enhanced journal test report

Ensure you can post the journal the first time

The Enhanced Journal Test Report identifies anything that may prevent posting, such as blocked items, missing item tracking, missing posting groups, etc. This allows users to ensure the data on the journal will post without multiple long, annoying retries.
