About Cycle Counting Unexpected Loose Goods

You can add loose goods found in an unexpected location during a cycle count in two ways:

1. Mobile Device: Through the Cycle Count app 
2. Flexe UI: Through the Cycle Counts page

Both methods will prompt you to update the SKU, quantity, lot code, and expiration date (if applicable). The inventory updates in real time once you submit the count and it is reviewed and approved.
