Overview
Use the I/C Inventory Counts screen to enter inventory counts after performing a physical count of your inventory. This screen is a simpler version of the I/C Physical Inventory Quantities screen.
Use the I/C Physical Inventory Quantities screen instead if you want to:
- Compare the quantities on hand (as tracked by Inventory Control) to the physical counts.
- Enter adjustment unit costs.
- Change the posting status of individual items.
