EWM: Automatic posting of Physical inventory document after entering the count

EWM: Automatic posting of Physical inventory document after entering the count


If the difference quantity is below the tolerance limit, system can post PI document automatically after entering the count .To achieve this, it is required to maintain the set up against Reason for physical Inventory.

Configuration


  1. Define Physical Inventory Area: Here we maintain the PI processes along with permitted document types

Here ,check the posting after count button. It Indicates whether or not the system is to post the count results immediately after they are entered

     b.  Define Reason for Physical Inventory

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:

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

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.

      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

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.
