9 When you froze inventory for a physical count, the inventory balance for a particular item was 150 units. After the freeze, someone processed a receipt for 25 and an issue for 42 that accrued prior to the freeze. The person who conducted the inventory physically counted 135. What should they enter as the physical inventory count? (Circle the correct answer and explain why.)

Workshop
Instructions: Set up a couple of new items and test out the inventory transactions.
Set up three new items. Make one lot controlled, one serial number controlled, and one neither lot nor serial number controlled. Put a shelf life on one of the items.
1 What transaction would you use to enter beginning inventory balances for these items?
Menu Name:
2 Enter a beginning inventory balance of 20 units of the lot-numbered item with 5 units of Lot 9301004, 12 units of Lot 9301005, and 3 units of Lot 9301006. What field did you have to set to do all this in one transaction?
Field Name:
3 Enter a beginning inventory balance of five units of the serial numbered item, numbered starting at serial number A4201JJ001-F. Do not type in all the numbers; let the system generate all five numbers for you. What numbers did it generate?
4 Enter a quantity of 100 units of the last item. Put 80 in the regular stock location and put 20 in inspection. What inventory status should be assigned to the items in inspection?
5 Transfer one lot of your lot-numbered items into a different inventory location. What transaction history was maintained?
6 Change the expiration date, assay, grade, or inventory status for this item. What transaction history was maintained?
7 What if you needed to change a lot or serial number of existing inventory. What transaction would you use?
Menu Name:
8 Print a Cycle Count Worksheet for your items. Enter an initial count of 800 units of the non-lot/serial controlled item. What happened?
9 Enter a recount for 800 units. What happens now? (List two effects.)
10 Freeze inventory balances for your items and print count tags. Count a different amount or count a different lot/serial number. Print the error reports; then run the Physical Inventory Update function. What happens? Check the results by looking at the Inventory Details for your items. Explain the results.
