Within the parameters you give to a cycle count, it will randomly choose parts and create a cycle count. Then, when you go into a cycle count and complete the count for a part by clicking Set, we change that part’s “Last Cycle Counted” date.

Next time you go into a cycle count, it will look at the parameters given it, and parts to include from those whose “Last Cycle Counted” dates are oldest (i.e. least recent).

For instance, let’s say you have 100 items in your inventory and you count 10 items a day. The first time you do a cycle count, 10 of the parts will have their dates updated. The following day you do a cycle count, Cetec ERP will choose from parts with older dates, those that weren’t updated the day prior. After you go through 10 days/cycle counts, when you make your 11th count you can expect the system to choose the first 10 parts that were counted on cycle count #1 because those are the parts with the oldest dates.
