SAINT JOSEPH'S ABBEY TRAINING
Baesis Business Training
MISys Manufacturing is a computer program designed specifically for the small- to medium-
sized manufacturing firm that stocks a supply of common parts, builds subassemblies, and
assembles finished goods. MISys Manufacturing is an accounting approach to manufacturing
control that, with a history of thousands of installations, has proven to be very effective for
manufacturing firms with limited resources and budgets. Importantly, MISys Manufacturing
does not require a team of data processing personnel or manufacturing experts to run and
maintain it.
This training manual will be focusing on the physical inventory process and inventory
adjustments in MISYs Manufacturing. It can be used as a standalone training resource as it
offers descriptions of the many options in these process, and a walk through of the process
itself. A text only summary has been included for the walkthrough that can be used for
future reference.

DOING A PHYSICAL INVENTORY: A WALK THROUGH
No program can perform a physical inventory for you, but MISys makes the job much easier.
Use the program to print a worksheet on which you can record your physical inventory
counts. From the Stock Control panel. Click to expand the Physical Inventory function, then
select Print Worksheet.
When you first start your MISys Manufacturing System, you'll want to count every Item, so
printing a worksheet for all Items makes sense.
To print a Physical Inventory Worksheet, read over the functions and fields below and follow
the steps:
Specify a range of Items, Locations, and other selection criteria.
Selection Criteria

5. 3/24/2014
4
Click the selection box to choose from the available count types:
Item Range
To count a specific range of Item numbers. Items outside this range will not be included in
the count.
Cycle-based Selection
To count Item belonging to specific inventory cycles. Items not belonging to the specified
cycles will not be included in the count.
Date-based Selection
To count every Item not inventoried since a specific date.
Items By
You can specify the Item numbers you wish to have included in the worksheet either by
Range or by List from this combo box.
Items From/To
Only appears if you select Range in the Items By combo box. Enter a range of Item numbers
you wish to have included in this worksheet. Unless you have a specific need to constrain the
worksheet to a specific range of Items, leave these fields untouched.
Edit List... Button
Only appears if you select List in the Items By combo box. Clicking this button displays a
form to allow you edit the list of Items to include
Locations
Displays a list of all locations defined and you can select which locations to include in the
worksheet by checking the checkboxes for one or more of the locations in the list.

6. 3/24/2014

Check All
Checks all locations in the above Locations list.
Uncheck All
Unchecks all locations in the above Locations list.
Include Items Not Inventoried Since
If you have chosen the Date-based Selection option, enter the cutoff date of your last physical
inventory. Any Item that has not been counted since this date will be included on the
Worksheet.
Exclude Unknown Item Locations
Check this box if you wish to exclude Items that are not known (have never been used,
received, assembled, etc.) at a specific Location.
If you leave this box unchecked, the Worksheet will include every selected Item at every
Location.
Include Cycles
If you have chosen a Cycle-based selection, enter the numbers of the physical inventory
cycles you want included in this Worksheet in this field as a comma separated list (the
number for each cycle with a comma between the numbers). An example Include Cycles
entry might be '1,3,4,7'.
Your most expensive items will be inventoried the more frequently and will have the shortest
cycle time.
Exclude Cycle 0
Check the Exclude Cycle 0 box if you do not wish to have Cycle 0 included in this Worksheet.
Items belonging to Physical Inventory Cycle 0 are normally included in every Worksheet.
Include Stock Levels
If you anticipate making stock transfers while you are counting your inventory, entering
your Physical Inventory Batches, and posting the Batches, check the box entitled "Include
Stock Levels." This will cause the current stock level to be printed on the worksheet. You will
need this information when you enter your counts in the Batch.

If you can avoid making stock transfers during the Physical Inventory process, you can save
time and effort while making entries in the Physical Inventory Batch. The program will
enter the Current Stock Levels automatically – you won’t need to print this information on
the Worksheet.
When the Physical Inventory Worksheet specification criteria have been filled in to your
satisfaction, you’re ready to click one of the following buttons:
Preview
To display the worksheet as indicated, at the same time creating a file of Item numbers from
which to feed the Physical Inventory Batch.
Print
To print the worksheet as indicated, at the same time creating a file of Item numbers from
which to feed the Physical Inventory Batch. You must hit Print to change the status even if
you do not print the worksheet.
Record
After printing the worksheet, this creates a file of Item numbers from which to feed the
Physical Inventory Batch.
When you click Print, Preview or Record the first time, the program will create a Worksheet
work-file from which to feed the Physical Inventory Batch. If the Append to Existing
Worksheet checkbox is checked, subsequent prints, previews or records will append the
selected items to the previous worksheet.
Click Print to make a physical copy of the worksheet. You must click Print to change the
status of the batch, even if you do not physically print the paper copy.

In the MISys Manufacturing System you record your physical inventory counts in a batch.
Each user can have his or her own batch. That way, you can all be working simultaneously
on a multi-user installation, entering the results of your count. Later, you can check or post
the batch you entered and update the inventory records.
Each MISys Manufacturing User can has many Physical Inventory Batches as needed. If you
have a large inventory to count, you are advised to divide the task among multiple Users
and/or batches.
Click New to create a new batch.
The Edit Inventory Batch window will pop up.
