00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,809
The old way to keep inventory honest was a once-a-year physical: shut down, count everything, argue about the differences.

2
00:00:07,809 --> 00:00:19,075
Cycle counting replaces that with a few bins a day, every day — and on consignment, where the stock belongs to your supply partners, that steady accuracy is the whole ballgame.

3
00:00:19,897 --> 00:00:22,106
Here's the whole setup: one button.

4
00:00:22,106 --> 00:00:30,122
Generate Today's Count picks a random sample of items — with their bin locations — and drops you straight into the day's batch.

5
00:00:30,922 --> 00:00:35,527
Each line shows the item, its bin, and what the system believes is there.

6
00:00:35,527 --> 00:00:41,772
Click Start Counting — that locks today's snapshot, so the numbers don't drift under you mid-count.

7
00:00:42,586 --> 00:00:43,787
Now walk the bins.

8
00:00:43,787 --> 00:00:48,724
First item: count what's physically on the shelf, type it in, click Count.

9
00:00:48,724 --> 00:00:53,461
This one matches the system — most do — and the line simply goes green.

10
00:00:54,283 --> 00:00:56,210
Second bin comes up two short.

11
00:00:56,210 --> 00:01:03,533
Enter the real count — the truth, not the system's opinion — and ConsignTrak shows the variance right on the line.

12
00:01:04,335 --> 00:01:07,624
A variance doesn't fix itself — someone approves it.

13
00:01:07,624 --> 00:01:15,466
Approve Adj posts a real inventory adjustment, with a movement record naming the count, the difference, and who approved it.

14
00:01:15,466 --> 00:01:19,260
The supply partner can see exactly why their number changed.

15
00:01:20,069 --> 00:01:22,786
Then it's just rhythm: bin, count, next.

16
00:01:22,786 --> 00:01:27,132
A batch like this takes a few minutes — that's the entire point.

17
00:01:27,132 --> 00:01:32,294
Small, boring, daily — instead of one giant weekend of chaos every December.

18
00:01:33,115 --> 00:01:35,860
Every line counted, one variance handled.

19
00:01:35,860 --> 00:01:42,890
Click Complete, and the batch files itself into history — todays count, done before the coffee gets cold.

20
00:01:43,715 --> 00:01:48,323
That's cycle counting: generate, count, approve what's different, complete.

21
00:01:48,323 --> 00:01:50,719
Where do those approved adjustments go?

22
00:01:50,719 --> 00:01:54,590
The adjustments ledger — and that's a story for the next video.
