IC170 – Freeze Selected Items

About IC170

Run Freeze Selected Items (IC170) to generate a freeze file for current item stock quantities. A freeze file is a snapshot of current records for a select ID defined in IC70.1 (Select IDs). After you create a freeze file you can print count sheets and/or tags in IC270 (Count Sheets) for recording purposes. Performing cycle counts using the Inventory Control application involves several steps. **Processing Effect Actual counts are entered in IC72.1 (Counts by Page), IC73.1 (Count Detail), or IC74.1 (Random Counts). Item counts are updated to inventory when you run IC175 (Update Variances) in update mode. Prior to update you can run IC175 in nonupdate mode to print the Variance Report, then explain variances in any count entry form. After the update you must use IC76.1 (VarianceReasons) to explain variances.

More information: You must delete freeze records before you can use the select ID again for another physical inventory count. When you delete records depends on when you explain variances. If you explain variance prior to update, you can delete records in IC175 (Update Variances). If you explain variances after updating you must delete records in IC179 (Delete Freeze Records). If an item location is frozen, you cannot enter an inventory transaction with a transaction date less than the freeze date. However, you can enter a transaction with a transaction date equal to or greater than the freeze date.
