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 Freeze Stock on Rejected Count Result option is enabled for the site, that stock record will be frozen until
the count result is approved or cancelled. If the Freeze Stock on Rejected Count Result option is not selected,
the system does not prevent Inventory Parts In Stock transactions during count result operations.
- 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 a difference is 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.
