Hi,
I’ve been trying to set up weekly cycle counts but can’t for the life of me get this to work.
Been through all of the learning on the Epicor Learning Centre but that only shows how to use each menu and what they mean. Helpful but doesn’t solve the current issue.
What critical thing am I doing here for this to not work?
Production Calendar
Set up a new calendar to only ever count on Wednesdays and Thursdays
Site Configuration, Cycle Count
Repetitive, Production
Warehouse Cycle Count
Uses plant configuration.
ABC Codes
A - 7 days
B - 30 days
C - 90 days
Parts
I’ve manually assigned these ABC codes to each part/warehouse
Calculate ABC codes
Ran it, Ignored it. The system wants to move certain parts from A to C. I want these counted weekly at this point in time.
Initialize Last Cycle Count date
Ran this.
Cycle Count Period Definition
The learning centre advised that we need to create a period in-line with our count frequency.
We are going to count weekly therefore I have created a Cycle Count Period for every week in 2024
Cycle count Schedule Maintenance
For a particular warehouse, I have created a schedule for each week to the period and production calendar.
I know there are A, B & C coded parts in this warehouse as of right now. Count is as follows:
ABC Code | Count |
---|---|
A | 73 |
B | 95 |
C | 3 |
Total | 171 |
Perform Part Selection
Final step would be to click Actions > Perform Part Selection
Expected result
ABC Code | Week 6 | Week 7 | Week 8 | Week 9 | Week 10 | Week 11 | Week 12 | Week 13 | Week 14 | Week 15 | Week 16 | Week 17 | Week 18 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
A | 73 | 73 | 73 | 73 | 73 | 73 | 73 | 73 | 73 | 73 | 73 | 73 | 73 |
B | 95 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 95 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 95 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 95 |
C | 3 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 3 |
Actual result
ABC Code | Week 6 | Week 7 | Week 8 | Week 9 | Week 10 | Week 11 | Week 12 | Week 13 | Week 14 | Week 15 | Week 16 | Week 17 | Week 18 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
A | 48 | 12 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
B | 75 | 15 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
C | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
Similar issue to Ken from a while back here. No solution unfortunately.:
