| Approve Cycle Counting Variances (whinh5801m000) |  |
| Use this session to display or approve the cycle-count order lines that require approval. You can only approve cycle-count order-lines for which the Approval field has the To Approve value. If a recount is requested, a new cycle count order line is generated when the Recount Cycle Counting Orders (whinh5203m000) session is carried out. Order lines that are not approved are not processed in the Process Cycle Counting/Adjustment Orders (whinh5201m000) session. A variance can always be approved. A recount is only possible if the current value of the Order field is less than the value of the Maximum Number of Recounts field. When this maximum number of recounts is reached, the order line must be approved. Approval for a WMS-controlled warehouse If the cycle counting order is of type Reconciliation, approval is always allowed. Otherwise, approval depends on the Order Approval Allowed in Infor ERP LN setting in the WMS Interface Parameters (whwmd2105m000) session. Note that this parameter setting also affects the availabilty of the Recount Order lines command. Related topics To perform cycle counts
Fields | Description
Order | The order number of the cycle-count order or the inventory adjustment order.
Order | The number of counts that is performed on one or more lines of the order. Note You can initiate a recount in the Cycle Counting Order Lines (whinh5101m000) session or in the Approve Cycle Counting Variances (whinh5801m000) session.
Line | The position number by which an order line is identified.
Handling Unit | A uniquely identifiable physical unit that consists of packaging and contents. A handling unit can contain items registered in Warehouse Management and other handling units. A handling unit has a structure of packaging materials used to pack items, or is a part of such a structure. A handling unit includes the following attributes: Identification code Packaging item (optional) Quantity of packaging items (optional) If you link an item to a handling unit, the item is packed by means of the handling unit. The packaging item refers to the type of container or other packing material of which the handling unit consists. For example, by defining a packaging item such as Wooden Crate for a handling unit, you specify that the handling unit is a wooden crate.
Item | In ERP LN, the raw materials, subassemblies, finished products, and tools that can be purchased, stored, manufactured, sold, and so on. An item can also represent a set of items handled as one (kit), or exist in multiple product variants (generic item). You can also define nonphysical items, which are not held in inventory but can be used to post costs or to invoice services to customers. Examples of nonphysical items: Cost items (for example, electricity) Service items Subcontracting services List items (menus/options)

Location
Warehouse | The code of the warehouse to which the order applies.
Location | The location code.
Item
Lot | The code of the lot.
Inventory Date | The date assigned to the item when the item was stored. If the item has a particular shelf life, the inventory date is the product expiry date defined for the item.
Quantity
Unit | The storage unit in which the inventory is expressed.
Stockpoint Inventory | The quantity present at the stockpoint, expressed in the storage unit. When printed on a counting list, this quantity can be used to match with the quantities counted.
Actual Inventory | The counted quantity for the stockpoint, expressed in the storage unit.
Variance | The difference between the quantity as registered in ERP LN and the quantity counted at the stockpoint, expressed in the storage unit.
Inventory Unit | The unit of measure in which the inventory of an item is recorded, such as piece, kilogram, box of 12, or meter. The inventory unit is also used as the base unit in measure conversions, especially for conversions that concern the order unit and the price unit on a purchase order or a sales order. These conversions always use the inventory unit as the base unit. An inventory unit therefore applies to all item types, also to item types that cannot be kept in stock.
Stockpoint Inventory | The quantity present at a stockpoint, expressed in the inventory unit. This quantity is printed on counting lists, if necessary, and can also serve to check the counting results.
Actual Inventory | The counted quantity for the stockpoint, expressed in the inventory unit.
Variance | The difference between the inventory registered in ERP LN and the counted inventory, expressed in the inventory unit. A reason code to adjust the variance is entered in the Reason for Variance field in the Cycle Counting Order Lines (whinh5101m000) session. Manually changing the variance will not automatically adjust the Inventory Unit field. Depending upon the size or monetary value of the variance entered, the variance must be approved using the Approve Cycle Counting Variances (whinh5801m000) session. In addition, the entered reason code for variance adjustment can make approval necessary.

Adjustment Price | The new price for each item. ERP LN retrieves the adjustment price from the Cycle Counting Order Lines (whinh5101m000) session if available.
