A cycle count is a perpetual inventory auditing procedure where you follow a regularly repeated sequence of checks on a subset of inventory. Cycle counts contrast with traditional physical inventory, wherein traditional physical inventory ceases operations at a facility while all items are counted.

Spot checks are ad hoc adjustments used when an individual discrepancy in the warehouse occurs. They are typically used for activities such as disposing of broken items or adding items to stock.
