Inventory accuracy is the cornerstone of any supply chain. Without accurate data, downstream processes like allocation and picking fail, leading to order cancellations and dissatisfied customers. Manhattan WMS solves this by providing robust inventory status tracking, cycle counting, and physical inventory audits.
Cycle counting is a critical process where inventory is counted in small portions on a regular schedule, avoiding the disruption of a complete physical count. Candidates should know how to configure system-directed cycle counts based on triggers like location zero-outs, item velocity (ABC analysis), or variance thresholds.
When discrepancies occur, inventory adjustments must be made. Explain how Manhattan WMS logs these adjustments and communicates them back to host ERPs via PIX updates to maintain financial alignment. Demonstrating control over inventory audits proves your reliability as a consultant.
