TWL Execution - Physical Inventory overview

TWL > Execution > Physical Inventory

Function acronym: TWLEP

Use this page to administer a physical inventory to ensure that the General Ledger value of your inventory is correct in your system.

The value of your inventory is the physical inventory quantity according to Product Warehouse Product Setup prices and costs. During the count process, each product or item warehouse location and the corresponding count are recorded by a warehouse employee.

Discrepancies are discovered during a physical inventory. Any discrepancies that are outstanding when the results of the physical inventory are communicated are cleared. The TWL quantity is used to update the system to the correct quantity. Theoretically, then, the inventory in the warehouse after the physical inventory equals the value stated in the General Ledger at that point in time.

A physical inventory is generally performed annually to verify and audit inventory and typically involves a complete warehouse shutdown. After you set a physical inventory in TWL and begin counting, you can check on the progress of the physical inventory count by accessing TWL Execution - Physical Inventory.
