With a wall-to-wall inventory all products are counted in one period of time. The length of this period differs from 3 till 5 hours from retail stores up to a full day or a weekend for warehouses. During the inventory all products will be counted from wall to wall, generally without exceptions. That is the main difference with inventory cycle count.
During the count the operations are, in most cases, paused as long as the inventory takes. Depending on the data processing method and logistic planning, the business operations can start during the count or not. For retailers it is important to count outside opening hours and preferably outside more expensive hours, such as weekends or late nights (this differs per country). Wall to wall inventory counts in warehouses should be done at moments with the least operational impact.
