Freeze book inventory balance

Definition

Specifies that the book inventory balances of those items in a physical inventory document that have not yet been counted are frozen.

Use

This indicator has the effect that the current book inventory balance is recorded in the physical inventory document. The system compares the counted stock with the frozen book inventory balance to determine any inventory differences.

Procedure

If the count results are not entered immediately after the stock has been counted, it is useful to set this indicator so that any goods movements which may take place in the meantime will not change the book inventory balance relevant to the physical inventory.
