Specify a cycle count

Hey guys, I'm new to labview and I'm working on a project for work. I have my program set up but I would like to add a control that would let me put in a specific cycle value on the front panel, that would allow me to capture data of only the specifed cycles: say 30, or 2000. I already have a cycle counter...is there anyway I could revise my code to allow for a control of these cycle counts?

Most of your code still does not make a lot of sense.
Why is there a 0ms wait and a 0.1s delay time running in parallel?
If you want to change voltages during the run, the terminals belong inside the loop, else they will only get read once at the start of the program.
Why do you connect a DBL to a DBL using "from dynamic data". What do you expect to happen?
You still have uninitialized shift registers
What is the purpose of the ptbypt functions?
You don't need seperate indicators, simply show the digital display of the charts.
There are "greater or equal zero" and "less than zero", primitives, no need for a zero diagram constant.
Don't do an equal with the cycle counter. If somebody would change it to a smaller value during run, the VI would never stop. Use larger or equal, for example.
Most of your output tunnels are still hollow.
You could read all four channels at once, reducing your related code to 25% of what it currently is.

MIBC - ABC Analysis for Cycle Counting -Report : RMCBIN00

Hi All,
We are trying to have our CC inventory indicators updated by using report RMCBIN00. We noticed that if a have a part with a very high value it is most likely to get indicator A even though the demand for that part is not as high as for a part with a very low price but that we sell thousands. Can some explain how can we use this report in such a way that considers demand? Thanks for your help.

A cycle count indicator A or B or C or D is allocated to material in the material master based on either consumption value (consumption X rate) or forecast value (forecast quantity X rate). You can also specify whether this analysis is to consider only the materials with cycle counting indicator or all materials. The cycle counting indicator in the material master records can be updated automatically by this program.

Cycle Counting is not fetching All Items in Different Classes

Hi All,
My client has performed cycle counting. Ideally system has to fetech all the items in different classes. But in cycle counting listing report only able to fetch few items.
Please let me know are we missing something ?
And please let me know the significance of "Assign Items". How to put the same.
Regards,
John

1) CC won't fetch all items in all classes.
It will look at only those items that are present in the assign items screen.
It will only consider those items which have cycle count enabled flag set to Yes in item master
It will only consider those items that have a non-zero frequency for the ABC class of the item.
It will only print those items that have some onhand if you run the CC to ignore zero onhand items.
2) You can either manually add items to a CC in the assign items window.
OR
You can reinitialize or update the CC (by going to the 3rd tab on CC screen)
Make sure that you have run ABC compilation so each item has a ABC class. You should also specify the frequency for each ABC class.

ABC CYCLE COUNT

We want to Cycle Count using the ABC method and base it on material cost
A parts - over 12K (count once a month)
B Parts - between $500 and 12K (count once a quarter)
C Parts - under 5K count (count once a year)
We cycle count every day.
Do all the materials need to have there own bin location? We want to count 34 materials a day.
As 3
Bs 10
Cs 21
34 Materials a day to cover all of our parts the way we want to count them.
Our bins have several mixed parts in them so if I count A part it may be in 3 different locations. I was told you not only have to count all 3 parts but all parts that are in that same bin even if it is not in the cycle count. This can't be right.
Tell me there has been a fix if this is the case.
Thanks

For cycle count, system will automatically select and proposed to you the material number to be counted into a physical inventory document based on the config you specified for the ABC indicator. Based on the material number proposed by the the system (plant , storage location,with/without bin location) you then perform the physical inventory count.
Could you reorganised your question so that people understand what exactly u r asking.
best regards,
Eric.

Frequency in Continuous counting Vs Cycle Counting

In Cycle Counting we can specify how many times a material can be counted via CC Indicator
1. Just wanted to know reg Continuos inventory counting, how do we specifcy frequency of counting of Bins ???
How does it proposes bins in LX16?
2. Might not be logical in business point of view, if we set a storage type cycle count relevant,can i perform conntinuous counting for any bin ?? as i aware it only proposes those bins in which materials without cc indicator set, am i right?
Thanks
Edited by: Sasi nagireddy on Aug 31, 2011 3:34 PM

Continous inventory means you count any bin in your warehouse just once in a fiscal year.
There is no proposal, you define outside SAP which bin you are going to count when. And you usually submit this info to your internal and external auditors in the beginning of the fiscal year, as they usually want attend at one of the counts.
Continous inventory does not care about CC indicators, it even includes those materials that would be subject to cycle counting.
Only effect is the the material counted in a continous inventory may be at a later time in the next CC inventory proposal

Cycle counting process

Hi all,
Could you please some good link/ notes about cycle counting process.
Sruthi

Hi, Please go through the following.
Cycle counting is a method of physical inventory whereby inventory is counted at regular intervals within a fiscal year. These intervals depend on the cycle counting indicator set for the material.
Cycle Counting allows you to count fast-moving items more frequently than slow-moving items, for example.
General Procedure
Mark all materials that are to be included in cycle counting with a cycle counting indicator in the material master record (storage data). The cycle counting indicator is used to group the materials together into various cycle counting categories (for example, A, B, C, and D). In Customizing for Inventory Management, you can define for each category the time intervals at which the materials are to be counted.
You can use the program ABC Cycle Counting Analysis (RMCBIN00) to perform an analysis. In this analysis, the system assigns the materials to the individual categories according to consumption or requirements. You can also specify whether this analysis is to consider only the materials with cycle counting indicator or all materials. The cycle counting indicator in the material master records can be updated automatically by this program.
For the planning of cycle counting, run the program Create physical inventory documents for cycle counting (RM07ICN1). This program checks all cycle counting materials to determine whether a physical inventory is due to be carried out.
You can create physical inventory documents for the following stock types, as well as unrestricted-use stock (stock type 1):
quality inspection stock
blocked stock
The system calculates the planned count date for all stock types as folllows:
Date of last physical inventory of unrestricted-use stock + predefined interval
If a material needs to be counted, use the program to create a batch input session for creating physical inventory documents. To create the physical inventory documents, process the batch input session .
When the inventory differences are posted, the actual count date is recorded in the physical inventory data of the material as the date of the last physical inventory.
Activities
Marking Materials for Cycle Counting
This step is only required if you perform cycle counting for the first time or if you want to update the cycle counting indicators.
In the material master record (storage data), maintain the cycle counting indicator for all the materials that are to be included in cycle counting.
You can set the indicator in one of the following two ways:
manually in the material master record. To do this, choose Material ® Change from the Material Master menu.
automatically using ABC analysis To do this, choose Special procedures ® Cycle counting ® Set CC indicator from the Physical Inventory menu.
Creating Physical Inventory Documents for Cycle Counting
From the Physical Inventory menu, select Special procedures ® Cycle counting ® Create physical inventory documents.
Enter the data required.
Carry out the evaluation.
Choose Edit ® Generate session to create the batch input session.
Select System ® Services ® Batch input ® Edit from the menu to process the session.
Carry out the physical inventory for the physical inventory documents created.
Thanks,
DV

Report for materials which have not been cycle counted.

Hi,
Is there any report which can show me materials which have not been cycle counted and also materials which have been cycle counted with the cc date?
Sincerely,
Nicky

Hi,
As of my knowledge, there is no standard report which can fulfill your requirement. You may go for development. Please check the similar thread: Cycle count analysis report

Open Transfer Orders in WM Cycle Count

Hi experts:
My client wants to implant cycle counting in WM, we are using MIBC for CC indicator analysis and LX26 to create inv. doc. The material master is ready with the CC indicators. But my client wants to know what open TO´s are already created for the materials to be counted in LX26.
Is there any procedure to list all TO´s that are open for materials displayed in MIBC analysis?
Working on SAP ECC 6.0
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
1. You should check unprocessed TRs in LB10. (processing those TRs you can get the TOs).
2. Unconfirmed TOs can be checked in LT22.
3. Please also check LU04 for open PCNs.
You should also have a look at interim storage types, negative stock maybe indicates that after IM booking necessary WM booking were not executed (LB10 and LU04 can aslo give information on these).
Regards,
Csaba

Macbook Pro - How to keep a low cycle count

hey everyone,
Basically I purchased a new macbook pro 11 days ago, and My current cycle count is also 11. I am eager to keep my cycle count down this time round as my last macbook's battery died at around the 700 mark (the laptop was around 15 months old at the time) which I am told was very high. The average apparently being around 300 for a computer that old.
I have also read on other forums that people have managed to keep their cycle counts much much lower than 300 even for laptops over 15 months old.
So to maintain my battery's life this time round I was wondering if anyone had any tips on how to keep the cycle count down this time round?
Many thanks,
Josh

I should point out that the batteries that seem to survive the longest are those that get used--i.e. relatively high cycle counts. They are like muscles--use them or lose them. I tried keeping cycles down on my first battery and the results were that it made it only 11 months. Most of the "my battery failed..." posts we see here show a low cycle count.
Also, you've posted a question about a new MBP in the forum for older ones made in Early 2008 and before. As the battery technology in your new MBP is different (and apparently better) and you have other hardware improvement made since 2008, you should use the forum for the current-generation MBPs here:
http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=251
Not to worry. It's not your fault you found the wrong forum. "Original MacBook Pro" is a pretty non-intuitive label! About a dozen people a day with new MBPs end up here and sometimes get inappropriate advise if responders either don't notice of can't tell that the OP is asking about a newer Mac.

I bought a brand new MacBook Pro Mid 2014, and my battery cycle count is on 2!!

As I said on the question, a brand new MacBook Pro I bought recently which I haven't even put on charge yet already has a cycle count of 2!
I'm just curious if this is normal and I want to make sure that I received a brand "new" one not a refurbished one.
Did anyone else order a new laptop and have cycle charge of 2 or more and is this normal or not?

The factory charges the battery, one cycle, they may then test that particular MacBook Pro as part of the production testing and it ends up with another cycle. Two cycles is not something to worry about. If you bought the unit from an Apple store or directly from Apple, it will not be a refurbished MBPr unless they specifically said it was. They don't do things like that.

Cycle Counts

For 47 Months 589 Cycle counts Good?

Cycle counts mean absolutely nothing except in the very old age / death of the battery
Sort term abuse kills a battery, not cycle counts.
I can abuse a battery and ruin it with only 50 cycles. Ignore cycles, focus on abuse.
General consideration of your MacBook battery
Contrary to popular myths about notebook batteries, there is protection circuitry in your Macbook and therefore you cannot ‘overcharge’ your notebook when plugged in and already fully charged.
However if you do not plan on using your notebook for several hours, turn it off (plugged in or otherwise), since you do not want your Macbook ‘both always plugged in and in sleep mode’.
A lot of battery experts call the use of Lithium-Ion cells the "80% Rule", meaning use 80% of the full charge or so, then recharge them for longer overall life. The main quantified damage done in the use of Lithium Ion batteries are instances where the internal notebook battery is “often drained very low”, this is bad general use of your notebook battery.
A person who has, for example, 300 charge cycles on their battery and is recharging at say 40% remaining of a 100% charge has a better battery condition state than, say, another person who has 300 charge cycles on their battery and is recharging at say 10-15% remaining on a 100% charge. DoD (depth of discharge) is much more important on the wear and tear on your Macbook’s battery than the count of charge cycles. There is no set “mile” or wear from a charge cycle in specific. Frequent high depth of discharge rates (draining the battery very low) on a Lithium battery will hasten the lowering of maximum battery capacity.
All batteries in any device are a consumable meant to be replaced eventually after much time, even under perfect use conditions.
If the massive amount of data that exists on lithium batteries were to be condensed into a simplex, helpful, and memorable bit of information it would be:
1. While realistically a bit impractical during normal everyday use, a lithium battery's longevity and its chemistry's health is most happy swinging back and forth between 20% and 85% charge roughly.
2. Do not purposefully drain your battery very low (10% and less), and do not keep them charged often or always high (100%).
3. Lithium batteries do not like the following:
A: Deep discharges, as meaning roughly 10% or less on a frequent basis.
B: Rapid discharges as referring to energy intensive gaming on battery on a frequent basis (in which case while gaming, if possible, do same on power rather than battery). This is a minor consideration.
C: Constant inflation, as meaning always or most often on charge, and certainly not both in sleep mode and on charge always or often.

Cycle count(MICN) problem at year end

Hi folks,
For cycle counting, if the counting date exceeds the current year, it proposes the last date of current year as the first counting date.But i do not want sap, to propose the last date of current year for counting. it should give me the correct figure as per indicator ( A- 152 days, B- 360 days ).
if i do GR today & My indicator is A, then counting date should be after 152 days ( in 2010) . if it falls on next year, then it's ok.
but system is proposing last date( 31/12/2009) of current year if the date falls on next year(2010).
Plz suggect , how to solve this.
Thanks
pabi

Any item has to be counted once a year. the fiscal year is controlling the inventory period.
if you have a new material that you receive the first time at the end of the year, then you have to count it in this year the first time, and the next time after your defined number of days.
Thats system design, you cant change it.

Cycle Counting procedures in ECC 6.0

HI all.,
SUB: Cycle counting in ECC 6.0 with WM implemented
Ref : Industry : Apparel
What would be the differences in the cycle counting procedure working on Version 4.6C and ECC 6.0.?
In 4.6C , we normally change the indicators of A,B,C or D in OMCO and set the parameters of frequency of cycle counting , say yrly, half yearly, quarterly or monthly.
Would the cycle counting procedure be the same with ECC 6.0?
I understand that from Version 5.0, we can do cycle counting without freezing the book stock i.e have open transfer orders unlike in 4.6C wherein we have to stop GR or GI at the time of cycle count.
Is the procedure same in ECC 6.0 ?
Do educate further on the Cycle count procedure for ECC 6.0 with WM implemented for an AFS related industry.
Thanks

Hi,
Try this it worked for me though,
1. Goto SPRO_ADMIN
2. Select the Project
3. Choose Change
4. Go To Transport Requests TAB
5. Activate CTS Functionality
6. Save it after the Pop Up
7. Go to Se10 and check if the Project Field is getting Populated with the Desired Project or not.
