use the steps. it ll help u..
STEP 1:  DEFINE HOW OFTEN YOU WILL CYCLE COUNT
First, you'll need to define an inventory cycle (how often you'll count).  Go under the menu path of Administration - Setup - Inventory - Inventory Cycles.  The Inventory Cycles Setup window will open:
Inventory Cycle Setup Screen SAP Business One
Determine your frequency as follows:
Daily :  An alert is issued every day.
Weekly:  An alert is issued on the same day every week. If you select a weekly cycle, from the   adjacent field, select the day of the week.
Every 4 Weeks:  An alert is issued on the same day every four weeks. If you choose a monthly cycle,   from the adjacent field, select the day of the month
Monthly :  An alert is issued on the same date every month; for example, the 20th of every   month.
Quarterly:   An alert is issued on the same date every third calendar month.
Semi-annually :  An alert is issued on the same date every sixth calendar month.
Annually :  An alert is issued on the same date once each year.
One Time :  A single alert is issued on the specified date.
STEP 2:  DEFINE WHAT ITEM GROUPS YOU WILL CYCLE COUNT
Next you will link the cycle code to an Item Group, or to an individual item at the warehouse level.
Here is where you'll define a cycle group to an item group within the Item Groups Setup Window:
Item Group Setup Screen SAP Business One
Alternatively you can link the cycle code to an individual item through the Item Master Data Screen:
Item Master Data screen SAP Business One
The Cycle Count Recommendation Window u2013 can be accessed from the Alert, or can be generated manually
