Hi,

I've found this link using Google - hopefully it's legal to use:

If you use warehouse management, your process will be different (you initiate the process in WM and finish it in IM):

LI01N -create inventory doc, activate

LI02N - change inventory doc, activate

LI11N - Enter count result

LI20 - clear differences in WM

LI21N - clear differences in IM
