Purpose
If you use continuous inventory during putaway, the inventory of a storage bin takes place at the time of the first putaway into this bin in the fiscal year.
During the current fiscal year, no further inventory is performed for this storage bin, even if a completely different quant is stored there at the end of the year, or if the bin is empty.For this reason, you must be able to identify all movements to this bin individually throughout the entire fiscal year.
You must therefore archive the transfer orders according to the legal requirements.If you use continuous inventory during putaway, it is possible that not all storage bins are subject to a putaway during the fiscal year.
SAP recommends that you also plan an annual inventory for the storage type affected, so that you can perform an annual inventory at the end of the fiscal year for storage bins that were not otherwise entered.Prerequisites
You have specified the inventory procedure for the storage type as continuous inventory during putaway in the Customizing for Warehouse Management under Activities
