Cycle Count Coverage Overview
Reports -> Inventory Reports -> "Cycle Count Coverage"
The store admin/executive manages the inventory of the store using a POS system handheld device to count the inventory periodically. It is the definitive way to accurately perform inventory counts in your store using a handheld device that is directly synced with the control center. At the time of counting the inventories, all the actions are tagged with a timestamp, so that will be recorded for reconciliation as well as reporting purposes.
FTx Cloud POS provides a report of the Cycle Count Coverage type that will display the date and time stamp of the last cycle count for the selected location(s) or location group(s). The report will also display the item name with UPC and the count variances, if any.
In this technical document, you will see:
- How to check the cycle count coverage report by selecting a location/location group.
- How to apply the custom filter options to filter and get the cycle count coverage report data.
1. Reaching the Cycle Count Coverage Report
To reach the "Cycle Count Coverage" report, follow the below steps:
By clicking "Cycle Count Coverage," you will be redirected to the "Cycle Count Coverage Report" page with relevant filter options.

You will see the "Report data is empty" message initially. You need to select at least one location or location group to get the Cycle Count Coverage by entering the days that have been counted since.
2. Generating the Cycle Count Coverage Report
When you navigate to the "Cycle Count Coverage Report" page, you need to select for which location you want to check the cycle count coverage.
1. Acceptable Days Since Counted: Set the days that you want to check the cycle counts before the entered days.
2. Select Location (Store) and/or Location Group: Select the location or location group to check when the cycle count occurred previously.
Click the "No Filter Selected" button to select the location (store) or location group(s) to check the previous cycle count coverage for them.
