Posting Inventory Differences 

Use

Each physical inventory item must be posted so that the system recognizes the physical inventory as closed. This applies to items with and without stock differences. To perform the adjustment posting, all physical inventory items must have the status Counted.

Each posted physical inventory item now has the status Posted. When all items in a physical inventory document are posted, then the whole document has the status Posted in the header area.

If the system identifies any stock differences during the adjustment posting, then these are posted using a material document in Inventory Management and an accounting document in Financial Accounting. The material document is stored in the relevant physical inventory item.
