Cycle count

An inventory auditing technique where stock is counted on a recurring schedule instead of performing a full physical inventory count once a year. High-value or fast-moving items are typically counted more frequently, while low-value or slow-moving items are counted less often.

What is it used for?


Cycle counting helps maintain inventory accuracy, detect discrepancies early, and identify systematic errors. It ensures that stock records align with physical inventory, reducing stockouts and excess inventory.
