Performing Bin Cycle Counts

Understanding Bin Cycle Count

You may want to compare quantities in warehouse bins against what Sellercloud has recorded. Skustack’s Bin Cycle Count feature helps you scan bins and run audit reports to determine count discrepancies.

You can easily scan inventory that is currently in a bin and generate a report that will show the quantity currently in the system, what was actually scanned, and the difference between the system and scanned quantity (delta). Once the report is generated, the audit can be reviewed and committed in Sellercloud or Skustack.

If the report is committed the bin inventory will be automatically adjusted to what was scanned.

Accessing Bin Cycle Count module

To access the Bin Cycle Count module:

1. Log into Skustack in a bin-enabled warehouse.
2. Navigate to the Bin Tab and then scroll to the Bin Cycle Count module.
3. Click the Search icon to display the Cycle Count page.
4. The Bin Cycle Count page has four options, which are explained below.
