By MIS Department

2. What is RF?
The RF (Radio Frequency) system is a wireless network that links handheld scanners (“guns”) with the AS/400 and RLM
Each Warehouse is equipped with RF transmitters and guns that allow users to scan various types of UPCs for receiving, picking, packing, transferring and cycle counting units and cartons.

3. What is Cycle Count?
Cycle Count is a function performed to insure that the Perpetual (book) inventory and the Stock Locator inventory matches the actual number of units on hand
Cycle Count is done:
At end of year for Physical Inventory and audit purposes
When a major discrepancy is noticed in a location
When inventory is moved
Periodically as a check on locations
