      <Paragraph>The function cycle counting ensures that inventory levels in the
		company are checked on a regular basis. The interval for counting depends on
		company policy. Often, this policy relates to the ABC coding of the items.
		Cycle counting is an applicable function to any type warehouse. Regardless of
		whether a warehouse is complex or simple, the stock levels must be checked
		periodically. Only the frequency and detailed level of counting can
		vary.</Paragraph>

      <Paragraph>The objective of this process is to periodically count inventory
		present in the warehouse, which ensures that the physical inventory corresponds
		with the inventory registered in ERP Enterprise. Based on ABC rating of items, cycle counting orders can
		be generated at a higher or lower frequency. You can also force a cycle count
		on any moment in time, for example, when the physical stock level is down to
		zero, but administrative stock is still present, or vice versa. After counting
		takes place, the results of the cycle counting are entered in ERP Enterprise and both
		physical and system inventory levels are realigned.</Paragraph>
