Start
Start of the Workflow/Process.
1. Retrieve Cycle Count Schedule
Fetch scheduled cycle count tasks from the Cycle Count Schedule data model.
2. Assign Cycle Count Task
Create a task for the assigned cycle count team member based on the schedule.
3. Retrieve Inventory Records
Get relevant inventory records (item, location, quantity) from the Inventory data model.
4. Physical Count Task
Assign a task to physically count the inventory.
5. Update Physical Count Quantity
Update the physical count quantity in the Inventory data model.
6. Calculate Variance
Calculate the variance between the system quantity and the physical count quantity.
7. Flag Variance Exceeding Threshold
If the variance exceeds a predefined threshold, flag the inventory record as requiring investigation.
8. Investigation Task
Create a task for the investigation team to investigate significant variances.
9. Create Variance Investigation Note
Create a note in the Variance Investigation data model to record findings.
10. Update System Quantity (if corrected)
Update the system quantity in the Inventory data model if the variance was due to an error.
11. Generate Cycle Count Report
Create a report summarizing the cycle count results, including variances and investigation notes.
12. Notify Inventory Manager
Send an email to the inventory manager summarizing significant variances and requiring review.
13. Retrieve Cycle Count History
Get the history of previous cycle counts for the item to identify trends.
14. Mark Cycle Count as Complete
Update the Cycle Count Status to 'Completed'.
