Physical Inventory

Physical Inventory sessions are available to users with the assigned security to record and verify the results of a physical inventory count for quantity tracked items within an inventory location. Existing Physical Inventory sessions can be edited by selecting them from the Outstanding Transactions heading on the WorkPlace Dashboard.  Open Physical Inventory Session(s) are those that have already been created but have not yet been submitted.  

Valid Item and Location combinations can only be loaded into a single open Physical Inventory session at a time.  Once all lines have been entered and verified and the session has been processed, an Inventory Adjustment will be automatically created to update the Inventory and General Ledgers.
