HI all,

I was stock counted my warehouse and I found some item quantity (warehouse )are different with item quantity(system).

I plan to use inventory counting to change, but it show me the error message "to generate this document , first define the numbering series in the administration module".

How I add inventory counting in the document numbering? Ho to import new quantity inside the inventory counting, because this to many item are variance different.

Thank

Hi,

please check the Numbering. You need to activate

Stock Counting and Stock Posting.

Hope that helps you.

I recently added new 2024 periods. When doing so, it was also suggested that I name my periods if this has not already been done.

I added the name (2018 named 2018, 2019 thru 2023 as well (year name was same for each period)

Now I am receiving an error message in AP while generating an invoice. "To complete this doucment with the entered posting date, first dene the numbering series. I have NOT had to do this before. Why is it showing up now and how do I remedy?

Hi Ann,

This is more likely an authorizations issue.  Go to Administration >> System Initialization >> Authorizations >> General Authorizations.

Look up your user then search for "Numbering Series."  If you see that you have no authorization for some of the series then you will need access.

Give yourself access and then restart your SAP.  I would bet that you are not a superuser and won't be able to see the Authorizations.  So you would want a superuser to give you access to the numbering series.  Then restart your SAP client to get the new authorizations.

If there are differences you could also just use Goods Receipt (to RECEIVE Inventory >> Inventory Transactions >> Goods Receipt) or Goods Issue (to ISSUE Inventory >> Inventory Transactions >> Goods Issue).

With inventory counting, all it does is record the count, then a superuser will have to post it to make the changes.  With goods receipts and goods issues you could likely just make small inventory adjustments without trouble.

Best of luck, M
