Report Counting of Inventory Part
Explanation
This activity is used to enter the results of your physical counting
of inventory parts without using a count report.
Prerequisites
- The inventory parts must have been received at the desired inventory location.
- If counting limits are to be used, they must have been entered on the Site/Wareouse
Management page.
- The part should not have the planning method O, K, T.
System Effects
- Any divergence between the quantity stated in the system and the quantity physically
counted will be shown in the created inventory postings, in the Accumulated Count Difference field
on
the
Count
Per Inventory Part page
and in the Cumulated Counting Difference field on the Inventory
Part/Counting section.
- If a limit is used for the site where the parts are counted, the counting results that
do not meet the limits will be rejected. In such a case, the result must be approved manually
and a re-counting can be performed. Rejected counting results do not change the quantity on-hand until it has been approved.
Note: The part will always be frozen until the count result is
approved or canceled.
- If you had entered a note in the Note field on the Count
Per Inventory Part page, this will be carried forward and displayed on
the Count Result Per Inventory
Part page.
If the inventory transactions are created, the note will be included in them.
Note: You cannot carry out counting in the project inventory for a closed project activity, as it is not possible to increase the counting quantity for such a location. Instead, a positive counting difference should be added to a standard inventory location, or to another project inventory location where the activity has not already been closed.
If the part is a serial part and tracked in inventory you can only enter
quantity 1, and must enter a serial
number in the Serial No field. If the part is serial tracked at
receipt and issue but not serial tracked in inventory, and there is a
difference reported a dialog appears. If the counting difference is
positive, then enter the new serial number(s). If the counting difference is
negative, then select the missing serial number(s) using the list of values.
Click OK when completed.
If the counted part has not been received into stock
prior to counting, you will have to define the cost structure for the part
manually. If this is the case, the Define Cost Structure dialog
will open upon saving.
