When should a Store Initiated Cycle be performed?

A Store Initiated Cycle should be performed when discrepancies are found. This method is used to ensure that inventory records are accurate and that any issues are addressed promptly. Performing a cycle count upon discovering inconsistencies helps to identify the root cause of the discrepancies and maintain inventory integrity. By acting on discrepancies, pharmacies can prevent potential medication errors, ensure proper stock levels, and comply with regulatory standards.

The other options suggest performing cycle counts at regular intervals or during specific times, which may not align with the operational needs of a pharmacy or effectively address inventory accuracy in real time. While regular cycles can be beneficial, focusing specifically on discrepancies allows for a more immediate response to potential issues rather than waiting for a scheduled time.
