Inventory Counts let you run structured counting cycles to keep your stock records accurate. You can assign them to specific team members, set a timeframe, and configure exactly what gets counted.
Creating an Inventory Count
Go to your stock location and open the Inventory Counts tab
Click Create and assign a team member
Set a start date and end date
Optionally, make it recurring - weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, quarterly, or annually
What gets counted?
By default, all materials in the location are included.
Click Show Additional Settings to filter by:
Category: Count only specific types of materials
Position: Count only materials in a specific bin, aisle, or shelf
No position assigned: Count materials that haven't been located yet
Custom List: Manually select exactly which materials to count
How counting works
Inventory Counts are created from the web but completed from the mobile app. The assigned team member receives the count on their phone and walks through it in real time, no clipboards or manual reconciliation needed.
What about the mobile app?
Once a cycle count is created and assigned from the web, the assigned user can:
Open the count in the Ply mobile app
See exactly which materials to count
Enter the quantities
Submit the count when done
Quick, easy, and mobile-friendly.
