🧮 Understanding Cycle Count Enquiry
What is Cycle Count Enquiry?
Cycle Count Enquiry is your central workspace for managing and reviewing cycle count plans in Canary7. From here, you can both run cycle count plans and reconcile the results via the Count tab; all without disrupting warehouse operations.
Instead of performing full inventory counts (which halt activity), cycle counts allow for smaller, more targeted checks. Regular cycle counting helps businesses:
✅ Improve Inventory Accuracy
Identify and correct discrepancies proactively.
✅ Minimise Operational Disruption
Cycle counts can be done during normal operations—no need to pause everything.
✅ Enhance Efficiency
Focus on high-value or high-movement stock, reducing unnecessary effort on lower-priority items.
✅ Reduce Costs
Less labour-intensive and more sustainable than full physical counts.
