Entering a Physical Inventory Count

Use

After carrying out the count at batch level, enter the count results that are entered by hand in the physical inventory documents in the system. In the physical inventory count the stock types are considered that are MRP-relevant.

Note

If the counted quantity is less than the quantity reserved by ARun, the user will see a warning message. Despite this warning message, you can still enter physical inventory counts for the materials allocated by ARun with MRP status R, F, and D.

Entering a PI Count with Reference to a PI Document

Choose Logistics ® Materials management ® Physical inventory ® Inventory count ® Enter.

In the initial screen, enter the number of the physical inventory document and navigate with Enter to an overview screen of all the batches of the physical inventory document.

Enter the counted quantity in the column Quantity and, if necessary, the unit of entry of the count in the field UnE.

Caution

If you have counted the quantity Zero for an item, set the indicator ZC (Zero count) for this batch. Entering 0 in the column Quantity does not suffice because the system interprets this entry to mean „not yet counted".

Save your physical inventory count.

Entering a PI Count without Reference to a PI Document

If you enter a physical inventory count without reference to a physical inventory document, it will be automatically created when you enter the count. Proceed as follows:

Choose Logistics ® Materials management ® Physical inventory ® Inventory count ® Enter w/o doc. ref.
In the initial screen, enter the plant and the storage location from which there is a count result and confirm your entries with Enter.
Enter the batches of the counted material. For the batch determination, an AFS-specific search help via grid values and stock categories is available.
Enter the counted quantity in the column Quantity and, if necessary, the unit of entry of the count in the field UnE. If you have counted the quantity zero for an item, set the indicator ZC (Zero count) for this batch.

Result

You have entered the physical inventory count and can now post inventory differences.
