Each posted physical inventory item now has the status Posted. When all items in a physical inventory document are posted, then the whole document has the status Posted in the header area.

If the system identifies any stock differences during the adjustment posting, then these are posted using a material document in Inventory Management and an accounting document in Financial Accounting. The material document is stored in the relevant physical inventory item.
