APIs for Warehousing - OData v4. Count Physical Inventory issue.

[mkerschb]

Hi, 

I am using the Physical Inventory API in my BTP Application and want to perform the COUNT as described in the link. Unfortunately, I am having some troubles with it, therefore I want to understand how it is supposed to work.

To be able to perform an Inventory COUNT I have to have a Inventory Document, which I created in my SAP EWM System as we can see below.

I notice that there exists a Physical Inventory Item ( Header Item ) for this document, but no Count Item ( since I did not perform the count yet ).

To perform the COUNT I implemented the BATCH call as mentioned in the Dokumentation and when I am executing it, I get following error:

"This physical inventory item doesn't exist."

This lead to my question: 

Since the BATCH call requires this two PUT calls in it.

How can the BATCH call require a PUT request of the Physical Inventory Count Item, if the Item does not exists yet?

First, ensure the Physical Inventory Item is created successfully by performing a GET request for the WhsePhysicalInventoryItem entity:

/sap/opu/odata/sap/API_PHYS_INV_DOCUMENT_SRV/WhsePhysicalInventoryItem

Verify its existence using filters (e.g., PhysicalInventoryDocument and Item).

After confirming its existence, proceed with the PUT request for the WhsePhysicalInventoryCountItem.

Split the batch process into two steps:

Step 1: Send a batch with the PUT request for WhsePhysicalInventoryItem.

Step 2: After confirming creation, send a batch with the PUT request for WhsePhysicalInventoryCountItem.

Thanks for your prompt answer.

But the documentation says that it have to be in one batch call and not splitted into two batch calls.

Or am I understanding this wrong?
