Location Cycle Count

1 min read Updated October 28, 2026

Saved counts update your system’s on-hand quantities right away.

Cycle counting updates your system to match what is actually on the shelf. LilyPad WMS has two ways to count:

  • Count a part: count one part at one location, from the part’s page.
  • Location cycle count: count everything in one location at once.

The Location cycle count module can be found under the Inventory group on the LilyPad home screen.

Location Cycle Count

  1. Open Location cycle count.
  2. Scan a bin label, or choose a location from the list. Every item there is listed with its expected quantity.
  3. Scan each item to count it. Each scan counts one. Users can also select Manual or use the + and – buttons to type the count in.
  4. Differences are flagged as users count. Serial-tracked items can be scanned one serial at a time.
  5. For a full count of the bin, turn on Count unscanned as 0. Anything not counted is set to zero.
  6. Select Submit changes. To clear the counts and begin again, select Start over.

The counts are saved, and on hand updates to match.

Counting a Part

To count a single part, open it from the Parts module and select Count. Choose or scan the location, enter the physical count, and save it. See the Parts page.

Scanning

  • Scan a bin label to open that location.
  • Scan each item to count it, one scan per unit.
  • Scan serial numbers on serial-tracked items.
