Inventory in the Warehouse Management System 

This section describes the IDoc WMIVID01. It comprises the segment E1LINVX and is used both to send system inventory records and to report count results.

The system inventory records are sent from the Warehouse Management screen: Physical Inventory ® Inventory document ® Print. The send report is called RLLI0405. Enter the receiving system and mark the check box "Send". The inventory records can also be printed out parallel to this. An indicator is updated in both cases. This draws attention to the reprint if the send or print procedure has to be repeated. All of the data of the system inventory record, in particular the storage bin, material and target quantities, and so on, is sent.

The partner profile output must be maintained for the message type WMINVE .

The same IDoc is used to receive the count data. One E1LINVX segment must be sent for each counted quant. The receiving sequence is of no relevance here. You can, therefore, send an IDoc with many E1LINVX records without having to worry about the posting sequence in the SAP system.

The partner profile input must be maintained for the message type WMINVE for reporting the count results.

The segment E1LINVX has the following structure. The required fields apply when the SAP system is receiving.

The report RLINVE00 can be used for testing purposes. This report can be used to test the inventory interface between an external system (external system) and the WM system. Entry of the data by means of a mobile data entry device is simulated in the system.

The system takes the data from existing inventory documents. Input of the IDoc WMIVID01 can thus be simulated in the system. Caution should be exercised in the production system - a document will actually be posted!
