Business ConceptIntroduction To Cycle Counting

Cycle counting is the periodic counting of individual items throughout the course of the year to ensure the accuracy of inventory quantities and values.

Accurate system on-hand quantities are essential for managing supply and demand, maintaining high service levels, and planning production.

Oracle Inventory is capable of managing the stock taking (counting) in two ways.

The two ways are 1. Cycle counting2. Physical Inventory

You can perform cycle counting instead of taking complete physical inventories.

Cycle Counting Will be performed on regular

intervals Ability to classify items into

ABC ranks Counting By internal Team No Tags Automates periodic cycle

counting Allows approval control

Difference between Cycle counting and Physical Inventory

Physical Inventory• Will be performed once in 6 months or

Year end• For all Items in the Organization• Counting By an External Team• Tags will be generated • Manual and Year end Process• No Approval Control

Contains ABC Compile information

MTL_ABC_ASSIGNMENT_GROUPS Contains the ABC Assignment Group informationMTL_ABC_ASSGN_GROUP_CLASSES Contains the ABC Classes information which are assigned to

the ABC GroupMTL_CYCLE_COUNT_HEADERS When Cycle count is created it will have Header InformationMTL_CYCLE_COUNT_CLASSES It will contain the Cycle count Classes InformationMTL_CYCLE_COUNT_ITEMS It will contain the Items which are assigned to Cycle countMTL_CYCLE_COUNT_ENTRIES It will contain the information when an item is picked for

counting

MTL_CC_SCHEDULE_REQUESTS It will contain the Cycle Count scheduled request date for the Items which are assigned to the Cycle Count

Note: For Cycle count task, there wont be any record in MMTT, because this is not allocating material.
