Warehouse Physical Inventory (3BX)

In this scope item, you can plan, conduct, and confirm regular counts of actual product quantities in the warehouse and compare the physical stock to the data in the system. You first create physical inventory documents for a chosen number of storage bins or products or based on cycle counting indicators. The cycle counting method is used to count products at regular intervals during a year. You can set up counting intervals based on cycle count indicators. After the documents are created and printed, you count the stock in the warehouse. You enter the count result in the system and review discrepancies in the system quantities. By posting the PI documents, you adjust the book inventory in the storage bins to align it with the physical inventory counts. The inventory may be recounted until final counts are accepted. Finally, inventory differences are posted to reconcile stocks in the SAP S/4HANA Cloud system.
