B5 Stocktaking
A warehouse employee can use the MDE device to start stocktaking at any time. The storage places and stocks are not blocked.
Hinweis
Please note that the creation and progress of a stocktaking is only possible if the corresponding setting in the SIEVERS WMS Setup is set to active.
- Select New process.
- Scan a Location Code or enter a Warehouse and a Storage Shelf or a Level.
- Enter the number of storage places to be counted now.
- Specify whether the stocktaking should also include Empty Storage Places, no Empty Storage Places or only Empty Storage Places.
- Press Create or the F5 key.


Hinweis
It is also possible to create an empty cycle counting list with the initial stocktaking type in the Business Central system and then scan the storage places you want to count one by one.
The stocktaking lines are added and the associated cycle counting list with the corresponding counting list lines is released directly for progress on the MDE.
Each storage place is now scanned individually by the stocktaking employee.
After scanning a storage place, the item page is opened:

- Storage place
- Left: Item with item number, description and storage unit number |Right: Uunit of measure. There is no quantity at this point, so that it cannot simply be checked during stocktaking, but must actually be counted
Hinweis
Please note that storage places that have not been counted are deleted from the stocktaking and cycle counting list when the stocktaking employee leaves an open count. This does not apply to storage places that are to be counted a second or third time.
