Abstract: A method for reconciling bin denials in inventory management environments comprises receiving a bin denial for a part number, the bin denial including data identifying a denied bin and a quantity associated with the bin denial. The method also includes determining a number of bins associated with the part number. The method further includes determining whether a quantity associated with the bin denial exceeds a predetermined threshold. An inventory count request for one or more bins associated with the part number is generated if the quantity associated with the bin denial exceeds the predetermined threshold.

Abstract: A method for maintaining inventory records between audit periods includes establishing a virtual bin associated with an actual inventory record and collecting data indicative of actual quantities of one or more products associated with an inventory. The data indicative of the actual quantities of each of the one or more products is compared with the inventory record associated with the corresponding product. An inventory adjustment factor is determined for each of the one or more products based on the comparison. The inventory adjustment factor for each of the one or more products is stored in the virtual bin. The method also includes adjusting the inventory record associated with each of the one or more products based on the stored inventory adjustment factor.
