To cycle count products with Palm RDC: Use the Palm device to cycle count products at your warehouse branches. Cycle counting with the RDC Palm device is much like performing stock levels replenishment counts, except that you are counting for a branch instead of a customer. Either while performing or after completing a cycle count, you can review and edit the collected counts for each item on the Palm device. When you have completed the cycle count, upload the gathered count data to the system so that it can be processed.
Before cycle counting, make sure that you have all branches for which you are performing the cycle count defined on the Palm device, as well as verifying that the User Defined Upload Processing Routine is defined in the system.
