Question

• DIt will consider the current system quantity.
• EA warehouse person will be notified.

• A

  3% (1)
• C

Explanation

During a physical inventory count, any tag without an entered count is treated as if zero units were found at that location - the system interprets a missing count as a zero, and will adjust your on-hand balance down to zero accordingly. This design enforces accountability: if you didn't count it, the system assumes it isn't there.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• B is incorrect because the system does not block posting - it simply defaults the missing count to zero rather than requiring manual entry.
• C is incorrect because the adjustment is not rejected; it is accepted and processed using zero as the counted quantity.
• D is incorrect because the system does the opposite - it does not preserve the current system quantity; it overrides it with zero.
• E is incorrect because no warehouse notification is triggered; the system silently defaults to zero with no manual intervention required.

Memory tip: Think of it as "silence means zero" - an empty tag is the same as writing "0" on the tag. The system follows the rule: no count recorded = nothing was found = adjust to zero.
