# Cycle Counts

Cycle counts are physical inventory counts used to reconcile system inventory with actual on-hand quantities.

## Creating a Cycle Count

1. Navigate to **Run** → **Cycle Counts**
2. Click **Create Cycle Count**
3. Select:
   * **Location**: Where to perform the count
   * **Products**: Specific products or all products
   * **Count Type**: Full count, partial count, or spot check
   * **Count Date**: When the count will be performed

## Performing the Count

1. Open the cycle count
2. For each product:
   * Enter the physical count quantity
   * Note any discrepancies
   * Add notes if needed
3. Save your progress (counts can be completed in multiple sessions)

## Completing the Cycle Count

1. Review all counted items
2. Click **Complete Cycle Count**
3. System will:
   * Calculate variances (difference between system and physical count)
   * Generate adjustment recommendations
   * Create adjustment records (if auto-adjust enabled)

## Reviewing Variances

After completion, review:

* **Variance Report**: Products with discrepancies
* **Adjustment Recommendations**: Suggested adjustments
* **History**: Previous cycle counts for comparison
