How does Infor M3 facilitate cycle counting?

Infor M3 facilitates cycle counting through scheduled counts and adjustments, which is a systematic approach that allows organizations to maintain accurate inventory records without needing to perform a complete physical audit all at once. This method involves counting a subset of inventory on a regular basis, enabling businesses to identify discrepancies, make necessary adjustments, and ensure that inventory levels are accurately reflected in the system.

By implementing scheduled counts, Infor M3 helps streamline inventory management processes, reduces disruption to operations, and provides ongoing visibility into stock levels. This approach is particularly beneficial for organizations that manage large volumes of inventory or have frequent stock movements, as it allows them to address any issues proactively rather than waiting for a yearly audit.

In contrast, relying solely on yearly audits would not provide the necessary ongoing accuracy and could lead to significant discrepancies going unnoticed for extended periods. Eliminating the need for counts entirely would undermine inventory accuracy and could lead to stockouts or overstock situations. Lastly, relying on manual logs of inventory would be inefficient and prone to human error, further complicating inventory management. Thus, the option of scheduled counts and adjustments stands out as the most effective way to facilitate cycle counting in Infor M3.
