Perform Physical Inventory for a Catch Weight Item

Outcome

Catch weight is managed in the following functions for physical inventory:

• Quick inventory counting in 'Physical Inventory. Quick Entry' (MMS310).
• Inventory counting in 'Physical Inventory. Perform' (MMS300).

Physical quick inventory counting (MMS310)

Activities in this scenario

1. Create a new balance ID for quick inventory

2. Quick inventory:

   1. Adjust quantity only

   2. Adjust quantity and weight:

3. Evaluate Results:

   1. Balance ID in 'Balance Identity. Open Toolbox' (MWS068).

   2. Stock transactions in 'Stock Transaction. Display History' (MWS070).

Examples for different inventory count transactions

1. Increase quantity and catch weight

   • Quantity = 11 and Catch Weight = 113
   • Only new quantity = 12

2. Increase quantity and reduce catch weight

   • Quantity = 13 and Catch Weight = 115

3. Reduce quantity and increase catch weight

   • Quantity = 10 and Catch Weight = 117

4. Reduce quantity and catch weight

   • Quantity = 9 and Catch weight = 95
   • Only new quantity = 8

Follow these steps

1. Increase quantity and catch weight

   1. Open 'Physical Inventory. Quick Entry' (MMS310/E)

   2. Increase 'Ph Inv quantity' from 10 to 11 and 'Ph Inv Weight' from 110 to 113

   3. View result on (MWS068/B)

2. Increase only quantity

   1. Change 'Ph Inv quantity' from 11 to 12 and leave 'Ph Inv Weight' = 'blank'

   2. View result on (MWS068/B) with a view including (MLCAWE): New Quantity 12 units. New Catch Weight scaled up = 113 kg * (12/11) = 123.27.

3. Increase quantity and reduce catch weight

   1. Increase quantity from 12 to 13 and reduce catch weight from 123 to 115.

   2. View result on (MWS068/B) with a view including (MLCAWE).

4. Reduce quantity and increase catch weight

   1. Reduce quantity from 13 to 10 and increase catch weight from 115 to 117.

   2. View result on (MWS068/B) with a view including (MLCAWE).

5. Reduce quantity and catch weight

   1. Reduce quantity from 10 to 9 and reduce catch weight from 117 to 95.

   2. View result on (MWS068/B) with a view including (MLCAWE).

6. Reduce only quantity

   1. Change 'Ph Inv quantity' from 9 to 8 and leave 'Ph Inv Weight' = 'blank'.

   2. View result on (MWS068/B) with a view including (MLCAWE): New Quantity 8 units. New Catch Weight scaled down = 95 kg * (8/9) = 84,4445.

7. View results for all transactions above in 'Stock Transaction. Display History' (MWS070/B).

   1. Select a view including catch weight fields: MTCAWE, MTCWTQ, MTCWTT.

   2. It is possible to find all the new transactions and also see that on-hand quantity and on-hand catch weights have been updated.

Physical inventory counting (MMS300)

When to use:

• (MMS300) is used for inventory count and is performed for a whole warehouse or for a selection of it. The quick inventory (MMS310) is performed for one balance ID at a time.
• The update of quantity and catch weight is performed in a similar way as in (MMS310).
• The result of the inventory count is the same if performed in (MMS310) or (MMS310).
• (MMS300) and (MMS310) does not support change of catch weight only. That can only be performed in (MMS360).
• In (MMS301) the 'Ph inv quantity' and 'Ph inv weight' are changed in a similar way as in (MMS310).

Summary

• Updates the individual balance IDs.
• Quantity and catch weight are counted simultaneously.
• Both addition and deduction of quantity are represented.
• With a count only on quantity, catch weight is scaled up or down.

Related restrictions

• Count of catch weight only (not changing quantity) is not supported in (MMS300), (MMS310), (MMS850) or (MMS850MI). In this case it is only possible to count both quantity and catch weight simultaneously.
• (MMS360) is the main function for change of only catch weight.
• In (MMS130) it is possible to perform count of catch weight without changing quantity. However, when changing a part of the whole lot (on location level) a new lot number will be created for the quantity the catch weight was changed for.
