While performing a physical inventory count, you find that tags have not been generated for some of the items. What action is recommended?

In Oracle Inventory Management Cloud, when items are discovered during a physical count that do not have a pre-generated tag, the standard and recommended procedure is to create a dynamic tag. This feature is specifically designed to handle such exceptions, allowing personnel to record counts for items found in unexpected locations or for items that were missed during the initial snapshot. This ensures all physically present items are accounted for without disrupting the existing count structure or requiring a complete restart of the tag generation process.

A. Record these items on existing tags: This would corrupt the count data for the item originally assigned to that tag, leading to inaccurate inventory records for at least two items.
B. Rerun the Generate Physical Inventory Tag process for these items: This process is run before the count begins. The correct in-process action for missed items is creating dynamic tags, not rerunning an initial setup process.

Using Inventory Management

Release 24B

Chapter: Count Inventory

Section: Record Physical Inventory Tag Counts.

Reference: The documentation states

"You can also create dynamic tags. You can use dynamic tags to count items that you find in a location that weren't expected to be there." This directly supports the use of dynamic tags for items found without a pre-generated tag.

Implementing Manufacturing and Supply Chain Materials Management

Release 24B

Chapter: Inventory Management

Section: Physical Inventory.

Reference: In the "Define and Manage Inventory" chapter

under the "Physical Inventory" section

the guide explains the setup options: "Dynamic tag entry is permitted if you select the Allow Dynamic Tags option for the physical inventory. This lets you count items that are found during a physical count that weren't included in the snapshot." This confirms that allowing dynamic tags is the intended mechanism for this scenario.
