IC284


IC284 - Variance Explanations

Run this program to print the Variance Explanations report for a company.
This report lists explanations by reason code for cycle count variances.
Reason codes, entered in any count entry form (IC72, IC73, and IC74) or in
IC76.1 (Variance Reasons), are used to explain variances found between item
freeze stock-on-hand quantities and actual count quantities.

Performing a physical inventory count using the Inventory Control application
involves several steps. Entering reason codes to explain count variances is
one of the last steps. Refer to the Inventory Control User Guide for
instructions on how to perform physical inventory counts.

This report is printed by company and can be limited to a specific location.
You must enter a period and year range for this report. This report lists the
total number of item lines assigned to a specific reason code. This total is
broken down further to line counts by movement class and special count class.

Note: Reason codes are used to explain physical inventory count variances for
reporting purposes only. They are not used to override the normal general
ledger offset account set up for physical inventory in IC04.1 (General Ledger
Category).
