Working with Inventory

Physical counts of materials are recorded on your mobile device using SAP Inventory Manager. Then they are applied to the SAP ERP database without the need for manual data entry.

The material inventory cycle comprises three main steps:

• Retrieving or creating a material inventory physical document

• Entering the material inventory count

• Transmitting the inventory counts

A material inventory physical document contains the following information:

• The plant or storage location where the count is to take place

• Planned count date, or when the count is to take place

• Which materials are counted

• For material handled in batches, which batches are counted

• Which stock types are counted

To access inventory documents from the main landing page, tap the Internal Process icon. From the Physical Inventory tab, you can add or download physical or warehouse inventory. Or, you can select any of the other main tabs to work with other types of inventory processes.
