Infor LX & BPCS Tip: Infor LX & BPCS Cycle Counting Selection Process

The cycle counting sub-system in Inventory Management determines which items are selected for cycle counting based on the following criteria:

  1. Cycle Counts/Year: The system calculates the cycle count frequency for each item using the "Cycle Counts/Year" field in the Item Master file (optional).

  2. Last Cycle Count Date: If you use locations, this date is found in the Location Inventory file (ILI), and if you don't, it's in the Warehouse Inventory file (IWI).

The system adds the calculated cycle count frequency to the last cycle count date. If the result is less than or equal to today's date, the item is selected for cycle counting. If it's greater, the item is not due for cycle counting yet.

Additionally, an item is automatically selected for cycle counting if the Cycle Flag field in the ILI/IWI record contains 'Y.' This flag indicates that the item's on-hand balance has gone negative since the last cycle count, even if it's not negative at the time of selection. The programs INV500D, INV510, and BIL540 can set this flag.

You can further narrow down the selection of items by specifying item number or warehouse limits.

A cash flow statement provides a historical view of the movement of cash within a company. This statement offers an overview of both the origins and destinations of cash, aiding management in evaluating the company's ability to fulfill short-term financial obligations. To differentiate between various sources and uses of cash, reason codes can be utilized. When interacting with cash transactions in relevant sessions, users have the option to input or review the corresponding cash flow reason. The cash flow statement organizes cash transactions based on these reasons. LN software system maintains year-specific opening balances for cash flow transactions.
