Here if we select the ‘Autom’ , there is no automatic posting after the counting of physical inventory documents that are subject to differences and which were created with the reason
the automatic posting of differences into the ERP system is prevented if this is carried out via the transaction /SCWM/WM_ADJUST (“Automatic Posting of Differences “).
If you do not select this checkbox, automatic posting is allowed.
c. Define Reason for Differences
d. Define Standard Reason for Each Phys. Inv. Procedure
Process:
Create a physical inventory document:
Sap Easy access- SCM Extended Warehouse Management- Extended Warehouse Management- Physical Inventory- Create Physical Inventory Document
T Code : /SCWM/PI_CREATE
Process PI document
Here enter the qty with difference and save
Check the PI document status is ‘Counted’ ( not posted automatically )
Now un check the ‘Autom’ from the reason ‘UPLD’
Again create & process a new PI document
Enter qty with difference below the tolerance limit and save the document
Once ‘save’ the document , it can be posted automatically.

No bad write down - but I think you forgot to mention the field which is the first important one for the automatic posting (even if it is flagged on your screenshot).
That is the "Simultaneous Posting after Count Entry" in the physical inventory area. If this one is not set, no automatic posting happens.

Hi Juergen,
Thank you to notice me about the forgotten filed.I have missed that while copying from the original document.
Now it is edited.

I think that field ( pstgAftrcount ) will allow us to post manually or auto, this field needs to be activated for both the scenarios, where as if you activate the Autom field the differnce will be atomatically posted if not activate user needsd to post manually, please correct if I am wrong.
thanks

Hi Reddy.
This blog is cool.. Right now I´m checking in a client the custo for Physical Inventory in EWM. They need to generate the scenario where is created automatically the physical inventory document for recount when there is found a difference in the quantity during the first count. Can you help me to understand the right custo that I need to consider for trigger automatically the physical inventory document for recount due to the difference. Thanks in advance for your help and support.
