Problem in the Physical Inventory Count

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

We are facing a problem in the Physical Inventory Count as below

1) Suppose for Material XYZ we have done the MI01 on the current date i.e 14.11.2008 with the Planned Count date as 08.11.2008 activating the Freeze Book Inventory check box.

2) Now if there is any movement of material XYZ between 08.11.2008 & 14.11.2008, then while doing MI20 it compares the Physical Count Quantity with the actual book quantity as on 14.11.2008 i.e the current date & not with actual book quantity as on 08.11.2008 which is required by us.

Can you kindly help us in rectifying this issue at the earliest???

Regards,

when did you create the PID? on 14.11. or on 08.11. ?

If you did it today, then SAP will fix the current stock, it will not fix a stock on a backdated counting date.

This feature is meant the other way around.

You create the physical inventory and fix the stock, then you conduct your inventory and post the difference at a later date.
