These fields display in the dialog box that displays when you click Add to add an item to the count file (PIP).
You can use these fields or the Manual Diff field, to post the results of the quantities physically counted. There are three Quantity Counted fields to correspond with the three location fields in Inventory Maintenance.
To indicate a zero quantity, type the number zero (0) in the field. Quantity entries are usually positive numbers; however, they may have to be negative in order to accurately reflect quantities since an SKU's QOH can be negative.
Example: Last week, SKU 2000 had four items on the shelf and 30 more had been shipped directly to the customer from the manufacturer. The invoice was finalized and mailed to the customer, but the shipment information from the manufacturer still has not reached you this week. Therefore, your receiving posting is behind.
SKU 2000 now shows a QOH of -26, and now there are only three items on the shelf. The 30 items shipped direct will be entered through receiving. We can account for -30 and +3 items by entering a -27 in the Quantity Counted field.
In the Count field, if you clear an amount that was previously entered, the corresponding Location field is automatically cleared. A value must exist in the Count field before you can enter a value in the corresponding Location field.
