Warehouse and inventory control managers
System administrators who configure stocktaking settings and keys
Auditors or finance staff who work closely with WMS stocktake data

What You’ll Learn

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

Understand how random sample stocktake fits into the WMS stocktaking concept (permanent, fixed-date, item-related, random sample)
Configure stocktaking profiles and key settings relevant for random sample procedures
Create and manage random sample stocktake processes and proposals
Work with selection and evaluation functions to analyze random sample results (including filters, accumulation options, and goods value if authorized)
Monitor stocktake status and ensure all relevant lists are completed and posted
Apply best practices to combine operational feasibility with legal / audit requirements

Built for Smarter, Faster Shipping Operations

Our Course Content

Throughout the 5 days, participants work through practical examples and guided exercises to apply each concept directly in the system.

Module 1: Stocktaking Concepts in EPG's WMS & Role of Random Samples

Overview of WMS stocktaking options: permanent, fixed-date, item-related, random sample

When and why to use random sample stocktaking

Impact of random sample procedures on warehouse operations and auditability

Module 2: Configuration – Keys & Profiles for Random Sample Stocktake

Stocktaking profile in key K100: counts, RF vs. list, counting teams and sequences

Other relevant key settings that influence stocktaking behavior (e.g. staging locations, blocking codes)

Company and warehouse settings that affect stocktake and evaluation

Module 3: Creating Random Sample Stocktake Processes

Difference between full stocktake processes and random sample processes in EPG’s WMS

Setting up and starting random sample stocktake runs

Generating and printing count lists for random samples

Ensuring correct blocking of items/locations during the random sample procedure

Module 4: Execution, Monitoring & Completio

Executing counts (on paper or RF, depending on profile) for the selected random sample set

Monitoring open / non-booked stocktaking lists and ensuring completeness via menu 619 and related menus (629, 639, 649)

Posting results and releasing stock after completion

Module 5: Evaluation & Analysis of Random Sample Stocktake

Using stocktake evaluation and selection displays to analyze random sample processes, including the “Random sample proc.” field

Working with selection filters, item/variant/batch criteria, and date ranges

Using accumulation options (none, by item, by storage location, by business cycle) to evaluate results and identify risk areas

Optional: displaying difference in goods value for authorized users (G301 setting)

Module 6: Best Practices, Compliance & Integration with Overall Stocktaking

Combining random sample procedures with permanent and fixed-date stocktakes for overall inventory strategy

Typical pitfalls and how to avoid them (missing lists, unposted counts, incorrect filters)
