Definition & Explanation

Warehouse operators and WMS administrators encounter stock discrepancies in high-bay facilities when the figures held in the warehouse management system no longer match what is physically on the racking. In fully automated installations, variances typically arise from damage during put-away or retrieval, stacker crane picking errors, or storage-location addressing faults. Reconciliation is carried out either as a continuous cycle count – ongoing spot checks of individual bin locations – or as a full physical count supported by barcode scanning or RFID. Even minor variances can trigger picking errors, delayed shipments, and disputed damage claims.
