The Cycle and Full Physical Counting functions in the Epicor application allow for inventory error identification, analysis, and resolution. These functions process and manage inventory counting conducted on a cyclical basis, but also handle single physical counts conducted for all parts within a specified warehouse.
Cycle Counting is a method of continuous improvement. Sales commitments rely on accurate stock information and cycle counting provides this accuracy. It also improves key metrics such as inventory turns and customer service levels.
