Cycle Count Posting Approval
Supervisor review and approval workflow for cycle count adjustments. Review variances, approve or reject changes, investigate discrepancies, and maintain inventory accuracy with full control.
What is Cycle Count Posting Approval?
Cycle Count Posting Approval is a supervisor workflow that reviews and authorizes inventory adjustments from cycle counts before they're applied to the system. When operators don't have authority to make direct adjustments, their counts create pending approvals that supervisors must review.
This approval layer ensures that significant inventory changes aren't made without oversight. Supervisors can see the before/after quantities, investigate suspicious variances using lookup tools, and make informed decisions about whether to approve or reject each adjustment.
Why Approval Workflows Matter
Inventory adjustments directly impact financial records, order fulfillment, and purchasing decisions. Unauthorized or incorrect adjustments can cause stockouts, overstocks, and audit issues. The approval workflow ensures every change is reviewed by someone with the authority and context to validate it.
Access Posting Approval from Inventory → Cycle Count → CC Posting Approval. All pending adjustments are displayed with product, location, timestamp, and variance details. Supervisors can approve, reject, investigate, or create location checks as needed.
Approval Actions
Five actions available for each pending adjustment
Approve
Agree to the adjustment and allow inventory records to reflect this change. Creates an auditable inventory transaction.
Reject
Deny the adjustment. The location must be cycle counted again to verify the original inventory amount.
