Book Inventory indicator in cycle counting

199 Views

Hi All,

I am bit confused about the freeze book inventory indicator. Let me explain you,

Let us say at 10:00 AM I have created PI document with freeze book inv indicator on. Book inv is recorded as 10 PC

At 11 AM goods receipt for PO happened for 3 more pcs, so book inv in SAP (MMBE) changed to 10 + 3 = 13 PC ( In my PI doc book inv will still be 10 PC)

At 1 PM person counted material and found actual count as 14 pc.

So when he will enter the count and post the difference, this difference will be 14-10 = 4 PC . Now my question is , is this 4 pc difference correct? meaning when book inv in SAP is 13 PC , diff of 14-13 = 1 PC is the correct difference . Then how the freeze book inv indicator adds value. May be I have not understood the importance of this indicator correctly, can anybody comments considering above example.

I also assmue that difference has implications from financial side also ,so which diff 4 pc or 1 pc is correct ?

Thanks,

Ritesh
