When should count batches be completed?

Count batches should be finished before Supply Chain Workbench to ensure that the inventory data is accurate and up to date before any supply chain management activities are conducted. This timing is crucial because the Supply Chain Workbench relies on precise inventory information to manage stock levels, replenish items, and analyze sales trends effectively. Completing counts prior to engaging in supply chain tasks allows for informed decision-making based on the most current inventory status. It helps avoid discrepancies that could arise if counts were conducted simultaneously with the supply chain processes, which could lead to potential errors in ordering and stock management.

Additionally, conducting counts before Supply Chain Workbench enables the team to identify any issues with inventory accuracy, which can be addressed promptly. Overall, this approach enhances operational efficiency and contributes to better product availability and customer satisfaction.
