Approve Counting Result on Count Report
Explanation
Use this function to approve the counting results that have previously been rejected. If a line is approved, the
quantities will be updated with the result from the counting.
Prerequisites
- There must be a counting report with lines that 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.
- 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.
- Click Approve command in order to approve the part. To approve all lines that are not already approved
or canceled, click Approve All Rejected Lines command.
- 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 box will appear automatically. 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.
