How to Track Inventory Changes from Cycle Counting

Auditing inventory is a best practice for maintaining warehouse health. ShipHero includes a cycle counting feature that allows users to maintain inventory accuracy throughout the year. The Cycle Count Items Report provides visibility into specific inventory changes made during these counts.

This report is deprecated. It is not compatible with the current version of Cycle Count and will be removed from the platform. It remains available as a reference for customers who utilized previous versions of the cycle count tool.
