The Spot Count transaction is designed to complete a count against a site – bin – item. It is not recommended for non-multi-bin environments unless the item you are counting is consolidated to a single spot that can be counted with a single count entry. It works well for a multi-bin environment to do a quick count for a specific bin.

On Hand/Available Quantity Display
Setting Spot Count Variance Calculation determines if the count will be against GP’s On Hand or Available Quantity.

Display Min/Max Setting Option
Enabled with the setting Display Min/Max. This requires the associated setup in GP to be useful.
