A count batch should always be the last batch posted in an inventory period. Typically, the count will be posted at the end of the last day of your inventory period, after running day end.
1.Ensure that all receive and transfer batches for the period have been posted.
2.Ensure that all physical count quantities have been entered into Inventory (see Enter Stock Item Information into the Count Batch in the Counting Stock Items topic).
3.Run Day End in Terminal to generate an Ideal Usage file.
4.Post Ideal Usage if it is not automatically posted.

Hint To check for missing receives , you can run a Usage Variance report and check for large negative variance, or look for receives not listed in the Receives column. |
5.Go to the Settings> Inventory group and click Count 
to open the Count pane.

Important Once posted, a count cannot be edited; however, a corrected count may be posted to reverse mistakes. |
6.On the toolbar, click the Post button. 
7.Click Yes to confirm.
8.(Optional, but recommended) Run a Usage Variance report (see Run Inventory Reports and Interpret the Usage Variance Report.

These errors should be corrected before the period is closed.
