With this type of zero stock check there are two possibilities. Either the storage bin is empty or it is not empty when stock is removed from it with a transfer order for stock removal. If the storage bin is empty, the transfer order item must be confirmed.

After a goods issue in IM, the entire quantity of material is removed from the bin with a stock removal transfer order. Because the zero stock check indicator is set for the storage type and the storage bin is empty, the system automatically activates zero stock check. When the transfer order is created, the system issues a warning message that the bin will be empty when the material is removed. When the transfer order is printed, it contains a message that zero stock check has been activated for the storage bin.

When the warehouse clerk removes material from the storage bin, he must take an inventory of the bin. Using the transfer order on which the warehouse clerk wrote the results of the inventory, you confirm the stock removal transfer order. When you confirm the transfer order, the system displays a pop-up window for the zero stock check in which you confirm that the storage bin is empty (by choosing Confirm empty bin).

In this case, the actual situation in the warehouse does not match the book inventory for the storage bin. According to the book inventory, the storage bin should be empty after stock is removed. The system activated the zero stock check, as described above. However, when the stock was removed from the bin, the warehouse worker found a quantity of material in the bin.

When you confirm the transfer order, you enter the quantity that remained on the storage bin in the zero stock check window. The system posts the remaining amount as a positive quantity in the storage bin and as a negative quantity in the interim storage area for differences. Afterwards, this difference must be recorded in IM.
