Counting Group
A counting group: items counted together, with how many counting cycles a year.
What it is for
The counting group is picked on the item in each company. Counting Cycle In Year is recorded and shown in the lookup; no inventory rule schedules counts from it today. The screen is not placed on any menu.
Every field in plain words
| Field | What it means | What to put |
|---|---|---|
| Counting Group | The short code. | Cannot be changed once saved. Required |
| Name | The name shown in lookups and on documents. | A clear name. Required |
| Counting Cycle In Year | How many times a year the group should be counted. Recorded only. | A number, for example 4 |
How to configure it
There is nothing to configure beyond the fields above. Which fields are shown, required or hidden can be changed per company by the consultant in the screen configuration.
Scenarios
- A spare-parts store counts fast movers monthly and the rest yearly. Make two counting groups and put each item in one.

If something looks wrong
- "... can not be empty" on Save. The code is missing. Type a code.
- "... already exists" on Save. Another counting group already uses this code.
