Physical Inventory
In this menu option, you configure the following system settings:
Default values
Types per storage type
Differences
Number ranges
Unlike the material-related physical inventory in the Inventory Management (IM) system, the Warehouse
Management system supports inventory procedures based on the storage bin.
Define Default Values
In this menu option you define:
which data should be printed out on the system inventory record
how the entry screen for the inventory count should be set up
Actions
Maintain the default values for each storage type.

Define Types per Storage Type
The Warehouse Management system (WM) supports the following inventory procedures:
Annual inventory(ST)
Counting the material quantity in the storage bins at a fixed inventory date.
Continuous inventory (PZ)
Counting a certain number of storage bins on any day in the fiscal year.
Continuous inventory based on stock placement
When a bin is occupied for the first time in the fiscal year, the system registers that inventory has
been taken for that bin. You can only use this inventory procedure under certain conditions and
must always check with the company auditor first.
Continuous inventory based on zero stock check
This procedure can be activated by the SAP system if a storage bin is empty.
Inventory through cycle counting
Counting of materials according to a pre-classification at different times during the fiscal year.
Requirements
You have coordinated your inventory procedure with the company auditor.
Actions
Maintain the inventory type for each storage type.

Define Differences and Document Limits
In order that the inventory differences can be posted to the interim record for differences, internal
movement types are required.
The movement types used for this purpose belong to the Warehouse Management area. The interim
record is determined by the system on the basis of these movement types.
Standard settings
In the SAP standard version, the following parameters are preset in warehouse number 001:
Inventory movement types
711 (Clear inventory difference)
712 (Post inventory difference)
Document items
50 (Items per system inventory record)
Recommendation
SAP recommends that you keep the preset movement types in order to avoid posting errors.
Activities
1. Posting/Clearing
Check the preset standard movement types and create -- if necessary -- special movement types for
inventory differences for your warehouse numbers.
2. Document items
If you make an entry in this field, you can restrict the system inventory records during their creation to a
particular number of items.

Clear Differences (Interface to Inventory Management)
In this section you specify the movement types for posting differences in Inventory Management, and specify
from which storage types this type of posting can be started.
Movement type:
In order to be able to post inventory differences to the interim record for differences, internal movement
types are required.
The movement types used for this purpose come from the Inventory Management system, and refer to a
movement type in the Warehouse Management system.
The interim record for differences is determined on the basis of these movement types.
Prohibit storage types:
Technically speaking, you can post from practically all storage types. However, it is advisable to collect the
differences in one storage type (999) and start the postings from there.
Standard settings
In the SAP standard version, inventory movement types for Inventory Management are preset in warehouse
numbers *** and 001.
The settings for warehouse number *** are default values. If you require different parameters for a
warehouse number, you can add the difference movement types for the respective warehouse number.
The system first searches for an exact match for the table entry, that is, with the warehouse number. If it
does not find a corresponding entry, the system will search for warehouse number ***.
Recommendation
SAP recommends that you keep the preset movement types to avoid incorrect postings.
If you want to use the SAP standard system, you do not need to make new table entries for each warehouse
number. You can work with warehouse number ***.
SAP recommends setting this indicator for all storage types except the difference storage type (999).
Activities
1. Analyze the entries for the default warehouse number *** and (if necessary) create the difference
movement types for your warehouse numbers.
2. Define your own company-individual settings for the movement types.

Maintain Number Ranges
In the menu option "Number ranges" you define number ranges for the inventory documents.
For each warehouse number you can create three number ranges:
for the system inventory records
Here the users create the documents themselves.
For transfer orders that initiate continuous inventory based on stock placement. In this case, the
transfer order is the inventory document.
for the quant-by-quant cycle counting physical inventory
SAP Recommendation
Once you have defined your number ranges, you cannot change them if the data in the number range
intervals has already been used.
Take the long-term data quantity into account. Define your number range intervals accordingly.
Actions
1. Define your number ranges.
2. Maintain your number ranges.
