🧩 Understanding Cycle Count Template
✨ What is a Cycle Count Template?
A Cycle Count Template in Canary7 defines the structure and rules for a cycle count plan. It works similarly to other templates across the system, allowing you to set up the framework for how inventory is selected and counted — including which locations to target and how long a count remains valid.
These templates help automate and standardise cycle counting, ensuring that your stocktaking remains accurate and efficient over time.
