ANY Process Demo: Count Inventory - Prerequisites

Execute the following setup configuration before running this demo process.

Reason Code

When the stock taking of an item is processed in the mobile process, after scanning the item and the input of the quantity on physical inventory, the line at the counting list is updated with the Reason Code = COUNTSCAN. This reason code needs to be defined in the demo data before executing the mobile process.

  1. Go to the menu Finance/Setup/Trail codes and you’ll find Reason codes. Open that page.
  2. Define the next code and description

  2. Select the code LOTALL and click the edit button to open the card
  3. Expand the Lot No. tab and enable Lot Warehouse Tracking. Press OK and close the page

Item Journal Batch

For the Physical Inventory Journal one or more Item Journal Batches can be used as the identification of a counting list. By setting up different journal batches, e.g. by location by bin row, a specific counting list can be selected in the Count Inventory process for counting a specific part of a warehouse.

  1. Go to the menu Warehouse/Inventory/Setup/Item. Journal Templates
  2. Select the PHYSINVT template and under Related/Template click on Batches

TIP: Another use of implementation of the Item Journal Batches for the physical inventory process is to define a specific Item Journal Batch for each warehouse employee or for each scanner
