Auto-scheduling for cycle count logic


Auto-scheduling for cycle count logic works like this:
Within a given class - the system first tries to find out how many items needs to be scheduled for count. (Cycle count Scheduler) Formula to compute the number of items to schedule within a given class is as follows:

Max items to schedule = [(Total items in class * Nworkdays) / (ClasscountInterval) ] + 1
where ClasscountInterval = Number of working days in a year / (Number of counts / year for that class).

Next when you auto-generate cycle count requests based upon the number of items to be scheduled within a given class - the program tries to find the item with the lowest schedule order within that class. (see the respective table &  MTL_CYCLE_COUNT_ITEMS ). Suppose there are two items so the program will pick the items with the lowest schedule order ( in a series of 1,2,3,4,5 the system will schedule items with schedule order 1 and 2).

Once the counting is done - it will update the schedule order to 6 , 7 respectively. So next time you count - the system does not schedule the same items but picks up items with lowest schedule number again within that class (in the second case the series available is 3,4,5,6,7 so it will pick items with schedule order 3,4).
