System Five on Cloud · Inventory Truth & True Cost

Physical Count

Physical Count is part of Inventory Truth & True Cost in Windward System Five. System Five includes 5 documented capabilities here — all 5 in the standard set.

These 5 capabilities sit within System Five's 1287-capability documented set — a selection, not a ceiling.

Optional

Clear Oversold When Processed Optional #

Clear negative on-hand through the count

A count batch setting clears oversold quantities as the batch is processed, so negative on-hand positions are resolved by the count.

Count Variance Value Report Optional #

See what a count costs before posting it

Before a count batch is processed, the system reports the difference in inventory value the adjustment would cause, so the result can be reviewed and approved first.

Incremental Upload During a Count Optional #

Never lose a day's counting to a dead scanner

Scan data can be uploaded every 30 to 60 minutes during a long count so a device failure never costs more than the last interval of work.

Post Count Comparison Report Optional #

Prove what the count actually changed

After processing, a comparison report reconciles counted quantities against what the system held, closing out the count.

Three Pass Count Workflow Optional #

Count the whole shop without missing items

A full count is completed in three passes: an uninitialized batch of everything scanned, a periodic batch exposing in-stock items nobody scanned, and a cleanup batch zeroing the remainder including items flagged for deletion.
