IC179


IC179 - Delete Freeze Records

**Form Purpose
Run Delete Freeze Records (IC179) to delete freeze records created for a
select ID in IC170 (Freeze Selected Items).

**Processing Effect
Freeze records are snapshots of item stock-on-hand quantities. During the
physical inventory update process, quantities are compared to actual count
quantities in IC175 (Update Variances) to create variance entries for general
ledger. If you do not select to delete freeze records at that time, you can
delete them in this program. Also, run this program to delete freeze records
if for some reason the physical inventory process is interrupted and you want
to start over and create new freeze records.

**More Information
You must delete freeze records before you can use the select ID again for
another physical inventory count. When you delete records depends on when you
explain count variances. If you explain variances prior to update, you can
delete records in IC175 (Update Variances). If you explain variances after
update you must delete records in this form after you explain variances by
reason code in IC76.1 (Variance Reasons).

Note You will not lose variance information if you delete records. You can
print variance explanations in IC284 and accuracy progress in IC286.
