| To maintain serial numbers for inventory adjustment order lines |  |
| For adjustment order lines, serial numbers are maintained for serialized items in the high volume scenario and the low volume scenario. Serial number maintenance for adjustment order lines is not mandatory for serialized items in the high volume scenario. The procedure to maintain serial numbers for serialized items in the high volume scenario is different from the procedure to maintain serial numbers for serialized items in the low volume scenario. Low volume scenario In the low volume scenario, variances for serialized items are maintained in the Adjustment Order Line Lots and Serials (whinh5126m000) session. On the Specific menu of the Adjustment Order Lines tab of the Adjustment Order (whinh5120m100) session or the Adjustment Order Lines (whinh5121m000) session, select Lots and Serials to start the Adjustment Order Line Lots and Serials (whinh5126m000) session. Actual inventory is higher than stockpoint inventory This means, that the inventory that was counted is higher than the inventory registered in ERP LN. In this situation, you must add serial numbers and set the inventory adjusted and the variance to 1 for each serial number to make up for the difference. For example, if the stockpoint inventory is 23 and you counted 25 items, you must add serial numbers for the two additional items and for each serial number, you must set the adjustment and the variance to 1. For this purpose, proceed as follows: In the toolbar, click . In the Serial Number field, enter the serial number. in the Inventory Adjusted (Inventory Unit) field, enter 1 to indicate that the serial number must be added (and that the item inventory must be increased by one). As a result, the value in the Variance field is defaulted to 1. This is the correct value, it indicates the difference between the counted inventory and the inventory registered in ERP LN. If required, repeat steps 1. - 3. to add more serial numbers. Actual inventory is lower than stockpoint inventory This means, that the inventory that was counted is lower than the inventory registered in ERP LN. In this situation, you must leave the inventory adjusted to 0 and enter a negative variance for the missing serial numbers to correct the difference. For example, if the stockpoint inventory is 23 and you counted 21 items, you must set the adjustment to 0 and the variance to -1 for each of the missing items. For this purpose, proceed as follows: On the Specific menu, select Insert all Stock Point Serials. As a result, the serial numbers stored in the stock point as specified on the adjustment order line are displayed. In the Inventory Adjusted (Inventory Unit) field for each of the serial numbers of the items that are missing, enter 0 to indicate that the serial number must not be added and the item inventory must not be increased. In the Variance field for each of the serial numbers of the items that are missing, enter -1 to indicate that the serial number must be removed and the item inventory must be increased by one. When the adjustment order is processed, ERP LN adjusts the inventory as specified. High volume scenario In the high volume scenario, variances for serialized items are maintained in the Adjustment Order (whinh5120m100) session. In the Adjustment Order Line Lots and Serials (whinh5126m000) session, you can add or remove serial numbers corresponding to the variances. Note that maintaining serial numbers for inventory adjustments of serialized items in the high volume scenario is not mandatory. After entering the variances for the item in the Adjustment Order Lines (whinh5121m000) session, select Lots and Serials to start the Adjustment Order Line Lots and Serials (whinh5126m000) session. Actual inventory is higher than stockpoint inventory The procedure to add serial numbers and set the variance and the adjustment to 1 for each serial number is identical to the procedure for this situation in the low volume scenario, except that you can also enter the stock point inventory. In the low volume scenario the stock point inventory will always be be defaulted by the system.. Actual inventory is lower than stockpoint inventory The procedure to remove serials by entering a variance of -1 and an adjustment of 0 is identical to the procedure for for this situation in the low volume scenario, except for step 1. In step 1., on the Specific menu, select Link Serial(s). From the list that appears, select the serial numbers that you want to remove. As a result, the selected serial numbers are displayed in the Adjustment Order Line Lots and Serials (whinh5126m000) session. When the adjustment order is processed, ERP LN adjusts the inventory as specified.
