Cycle count
Counting a subset of inventory (usually one room) on a rotation so every package is physically counted at least once a month, instead of one large count. The weekly step of a Metrc reconciliation SOP.
Why it matters for reconciliation: one large count a month is a long, disruptive job that finds problems when they are old. Counting a room a week finds them while the sales and receiving logs can still explain them.
Example: a store rotates through its vault, sales floor, delivery staging, quarantine and returns rooms. For each room it freezes movements, exports the state packages, counts every tag, classifies each difference and logs the count. By month end every package has been counted once.
