Description

You can use this program to count stock in storage bins in the warehouse. It supports hand-held devices. You count stock by entering storage unit (SU) numbers. In a second detail screen, you can change specific quantities if necessary.

You can enter the SU numbers by scanning a barcode.

This report is part of the radio frequency (RF) ability project in the system and can be accessed via menu transaction LM01 (Inventory -> Count SU or Count SU guided).

Count SU System-Guided

The Count SU Guided transaction searches for active inventory documents that have not yet been (completely) counted that have been assigned to the name of the current user. It then leads the user to the first bin location for which the entry of count results are required. The bin location must be verified by scanning a barcode or by entering a valid verification value for the corresponding bin. Afterwards, you can enter SU numbers into the system.

The system only proposes the next bin if the stock in a bin has been fully counted.

Count SU

The Count SU transaction allows users to specify a specific bin location (that needs to be counted) which is not in the sequence listed in the inventory document. Nonetheless, the system still requires the counting of active inventory documents as well. After checking the warehouse number, storage type and bin location, you can enter SU numbers into the system.

A set/get-parameter ID is active for the warehouse number and the storage type so that after you have made the first entry, you only need to enter the bin location when you choose a bin. Since you can use the barcoded bin location, this simplifies the entry of this data.

Using the Transactions

Once you enter the SU numbers, you may save the data or view the details for each line by selecting a specific SU number. You can enter or change detail data. If you find an unlisted material in the bin, you can add it in the detail screen. After entry, the system checks the data for consistency. You can only save the data if the consistency check is successful.

BIN EMPTY displays all SU numbers remaining on the books which have a count quantity of zero. After you enter all SUs that you have found in the bin, choose BIN EMPTY to see if there should be any additional SUs. If none appear, SAVE the results; otherwise check the SUs. If they are really missing, SAVE the data to inform the system about these differences. If a SU was overlooked, you need to enter the quantity in the detail screen.

Requirements

This function only works in storage types managed for storage units. If you are not working with SU-managed stock, see the documentation in program RLMOB004.

For this function, you create and activate inventory documents in the system in the usual manner.

For the system-guided option, you need to assign users to the inventory documents before you activate them.

The system-guided variant requires the entry of a verification field for the bin location. You maintain the verification field in the bin master record. This is supported by the report RLVERIFY that allows you to fill the field. For this, there are three options. You can use

  • The storage bin coordinates
  • Part of the storage bin coordinates
  • A customer exit

Since quantities do not have to be entered explicitly, you will need to have the use of this method cleared by your external auditor. The less you access the storage type and the more you work with full pallets, the more accurate is the outcome.

Output

In case of errors, a message appears. You can change missing or incorrect data. If there are no errors, the system updates the inventory counting results in the database and displays a corresponding message.

Caution

The SAP standard confirmation dialog box which normally appears has been deactivated for this function. Therefore, you should choose BACK with caution. Choosing BACK causes the system to leave the current transaction and the entered data will be lost without warning.
