Function documentationPeriodic Physical Inventory Procedure

 

As the periodic physical inventory procedure, Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) supports an annual physical inventory (storage-bin-specific and product-specific).

In an annual physical inventory, you record all stocks on a certain day or within a fairly short period (in most cases at the end of the fiscal year). During this time, you can prohibit stock movements.

Furthermore, you use this procedure to carry out the physical inventory for storage bins and quants that are actually subject to continuous inventory-taking but for which no stock movements have occurred during the current fiscal year.

The product-specific annual physical inventory corresponds to the storage-bin-specific annual physical inventory except that you carry it out for products.
