End of period checklist   End of period checklist explanation

The end-of-period menu contains programs that should be run at the end of each inventory period.

The Item Activity Report is an optional report that prints each item’s activity for the period. The report shows the on hand quantity at the beginning of the period, receipts, production, adjustments, transfers and sales for the period and the calculated on hand quantity for the end of the period. Since the activity is removed during the End-of-Period Update, make sure you run the Item Activity Report before the End-of-Period Update. Otherwise the report is not available for the period.

These programs are used in end-of-period processing.

Serial/Lot number Removal Register, which is used to print a register of all serial/lot numbers with a sold status that meets entered criteria. An update may be run to remove these sold records (items) from the system.

If you use ledgercards for warehouse/item combinations, you can remove them during the end-of-period process with the System Clean Up F/M (SMF993) program.

End-of-Period Update, which is used to update period information and resets restocking information. During this process, items are flagged.
