Click Inventory management > Setup > Inventory > Counting groups.

Use this form to create, edit, or delete counting groups. All items to be counted can be associated with a counting group. The counting group determines how Microsoft Dynamics AX creates counting lines in a counting journal when the journal is created automatically. The counting group is used to count items using the counting journal.

The following table provides descriptions for the controls in this form.

Fields

Field

Description

Counting group

The identification of the counting group. If, for example, the inventory is distributed among three halls, you create the counting groups Hall 1, Hall 2 and Hall 3.

Counting code

Select the counting code to use for the group.

For more information, see Counting code.

Counting period

If you specified Period in the Counting code field, you must type the interval for the period in this field.
