General Information about Physical Inventory Request

Why Use This Procedure?

In the window in this procedure you can request an inventory of a part in addition to the planned continuous physical inventory. The requested inventories are included by default in the physical inventory list that is printed in the Continuous Physical Inventory - List procedure.

A request of inventory is made for example when you suspect a balance error. The planned physical inventory might be far in the future and this way you can speed up the physical inventory of the part.

Another scenario when you can request a physical inventory is in case you get a negative balance when you report the part. You then have the opportunity to go to this procedure to request a physical inventory. This is determined by the setting Check if balance is negative during reporting?, under the Orders heading under the Manufacturing tab in the Settings procedure.
