To implement and conduct cycle counting, is use of MICN necessary?

We are attempting to implement cycle counting practices in raw materials storage. I have read that authorization to use MICN will allow control and management of how many A/B/C/D class items become due for counting in a time-frame. Is this correct?

Hi,

Transaction MICN generates physical inventory documents splitted based on the Planned Count Date. MICN lists all materials for which cycle counting is required within the planned interval (specified interval for the planned count date). If a physical inventory had already been due prior to the planned interval, the planned count date would be highlighted.

The calculation of the "planned count date" is described in the attached note 518418 / question 3:

    planned date = base date + Interval (Trans.OMCO/Tab.XT159C-ININV)

Usually, the base date is the "date of the last physical inventory". Depending on the type of the stock or the batch management.
