• If the count quantity entered by the user does not match the system quantity and it also does not match the previous count quantity for this count record, then the status is set to “Recount”. 

• If the count quantity entered by the user does not match the system quantity but it does match the previous count quantity for this count record, then the status is set to “Complete” and a Count Adjustment record will be created for the variance.
