You can use Workday to record inventory counts in your stocking locations. We enable your on-the-ground workers to:

Count inventory below the stock request reservation level.

Count zero quantity.

When you access the

Count Inventory

task to count items, Workday prefills the line level prompts.

Access the

Create Ad Hoc Inventory Count

task for unscheduled counts. Workday creates a count sheet for the site that you select for the ad hoc count.

As you complete the task, consider:

Option	Description
Item	Select the item that you want to count. You must put away the item at the inventory site, to count it.
Quantity Counted	Enter the number of items counted. You can count: Zero quantity. Below the stock request reservation level.
Supplier	Only available for consigned items. Populates the supplier of the consigned item.
Quantity on Hand	If you configure your inventory site for blind counting, Workday doesn't display the Quantity on Hand field. On printed versions of inventory counts, Workday always displays the quantity on hand.
Lot	Only displays lot numbers associated with the item.
Serial	Only displays serial numbers associated with the item.

Workday records the count for the inventory site.

Access the
