NOTE: Shorter Cycles tend to be better, since you need to complete a cycle before you can start a new one. If you have a month open, if you need to do any ad-hoc cycle counting in between you could not do this, since that whole month would still be open. You would need to go to quantity adjustment to do any changes. There is an option to assign: specific items, A,B,C, random and repetitive counts. Where does this information reside?
