ANY Process Demo: Count Inventory - Prerequisites
Execute the following setup configuration before running this demo process.
Reason Code
When the stock taking of an item is processed in the mobile process, after scanning the item and the input of the quantity on physical inventory, the line at the counting list is updated with the Reason Code = COUNTSCAN
. This reason code needs to be defined in the demo data before executing the mobile process.
- Go to the menu
Finance/Setup/Trail codes
and you’ll find Reason codes. Open that page. - Define the next code and description
Item Tracking
Since there are no warehouse tracked items in the Cronus Company, 2 item tracking codes are modified to support this.

Item Journal Batch
For the Physical Inventory Journal one or more Item Journal Batches can be used as the identification of a counting list.
