Inventory Control (SEKO 360)

Daily Counts

Daily counts will verify that the physical product matches what’s in the system. SEKO does daily cycle counts on SKUs/Locations, throughout the year, all locations will be checked at least twice a year.

Step 1: Retrieve Daily Count Schedule

A SEKO inventory specialist will retrieve a daily count schedule and generate daily cycle counts. The count schedule may vary by client SOP.

Step 2: Preform Count

The SEKO inventory specialist will perform a count on the selected locations.

The specialist verifies the SKU and quantity matches what is in the WMS.
Recounts will be performed on locations if the actual quantity is more or less than expected. If the recount is more or less than expected, the specialist updates the quantity in the WMS.

Step 3: Research Variance

Once all counts are completed for the day, the SEKO inventory specialist will review the count results.

If the count results are not accurate and a variance is identified, the SEKO inventory specialist will try to resolve the variance.
If the variance is resolved (for example, the specialist found the product and returned it to the proper location), a recount is preformed to show the variance has been resolved.
If the variance is not resolved the specialist adjust the inventory in the WMS.

Step 4: Adjust Inventory

The SEKO inventory specialist sends a notification to the client for any adjustments preformed.
