  1. From the sidebar, select Parts > Cycle Counts.
  2. In the cycle count list, select the cycle count you want to edit.
  3. In the cycle count details, select Edit.
  4. The Edit Cycle Count form appears. Update the fields as needed. See Cycle Count Form Fields.
  5. Select Update to update all work orders for the cycle count.
tip

You can also edit a cycle count by editing its current open work order. From the work Order Details, select Edit. Editing the work order takes you to the Edit Cycle Count form.

Edit an In-Progress Cycle Count​

If a cycle count is in progress when you edit it, your changes affect the ongoing work order. If you remove parts that you've already counted, MaintainX remembers the counts until you mark the work order as Done. If you add the same parts back before closing the work order, MaintainX adds back the counts and the names of the users who counted the parts.

Cycle Count Form Fields​

Based onSpecifies which parts to include in the cycle count.

  • Part Types: Includes all parts with the selected part types in the cycle count. For example, all Critical parts.
  • Locations: Includes all parts associated with the selected locations in the cycle count. For example, all parts in Warehouse A.

If you don't select any part types or locations, the cycle count will include all the parts in your organization.

Cycle Count Recurrence Options​
