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.
