Approve Count Results on Inventory Part
Explanation
Use this function to approve the counting results that have previously been rejected.
If a part is approved, the quantities will be updated with the result from the
counting.
Prerequisites
- Parts must have been counted without a counting report, and they must also have been rejected.
- A defined approval structure does not exist for approving counting
results. You will be able to proceed with the approval process if relevant
authorization exists.
System Effects
- The results that are approved update the quantity on-hand for the part. The inventory transaction is created.
If you had entered a note in the Note field, this will be carried forward to
the inventory transactions.
- For parts with a Company-Owned ownership type, if the counting difference is negative, postings are created for the credit
posting type M1 (Inventory) and the debit posting type M184 (Negative Counting Difference).
- For parts with a Company-Owned ownership type, if the counting difference is positive postings are created for the credit
posting type M7 (Positive Counting Difference) and the debit posting type
M1 (Inventory).
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 count result has been altered before approving and the part is
serial tracked
at
receipt and issue but not
serial tracked
in inventory, a dialog appears. If the altered 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.
