WM: Inventory Count Results Using Batch Input

Description

For Release 3.0, a new function has been added to the user interface for carrying out inventory tasks in the Warehouse Management (WM) system. When entering inventory count results, you can now enter all information on a single screen without using dialog boxes. This makes it possible to enter count results using batch input (screen sequence: 201, 202, 202....). If not all count results are entered, the dialog box that appears when you save data is suppressed during batch processing. This way, the program that creates the batch input file does not have to take into consideration whether all the data necessary for a particular screen has been entered or not.

Changes in procedure

If you process data in an external system and then want to load it into the SAP System, you must write a program that transfers this data in batch input format to the corresponding SAP transactions (LI11).

Manually, the process is carried out in the WM system as follows:

1. After creating and activating an Inventory record, select Inventory -> Count results -> Enter from the WM menu bar.
2. Enter the mandatory warehouse number, inventory record number and count date and select Single entry from the applications toolbar.
3. Enter the material and count data and select ENTER.
4. After making the last entry, select Post to save the count results.

The procedures for clearing inventory differences in the WM and Inventory Management systems are described in the Warehouse Management Guide.
