Mobile entry of count data for system inventory records.

The standard IDoc WMIVID01 must be used. The records which are to reported to the system can appear in any order. The count records are automatically assigned to the correct records.

As soon as warehouse management systems are used, inventories must be drawn up in accordance with the storage bins as any differences that occur must be assigned to the storage bin. A typical procedure for drawing up an inventory in the WM system includes the following steps: generation of inventory records (i.e. assigning bins to documents), printing, counting, recording results, posting differences. An example of such a procedure using mobile data entry can be seen below:

1. Enter system inventory records in the WM system
2. Send inventory records to the external system
3. Enter count data on the handheld terminals
4. Send and post the count results in the WM system
5. Post differences, etc., standard processing

Step 2 is not mandatory but does facilitate generation of the count data in the appropriate IDoc format as the same format is also used to send data to the external system.
