| # Cycle Counting Order Lines (whinh5101m000) Use this session to view, create, or maintain cycle-count order lines. If the Printed check box in the Cycle Counting Orders (whinh5100m000) session is selected, you can maintain cycle-count order-lines. If these lines are maintained, you can enter the physical quantities counted in the current session. ERP Enterprise will calculate the variance between the counted quantities and the registered quantities. If the counted quantity on a stockpoint is less than the allocated inventory for that stockpoint, you can reduce the allocated quantity. You can delete all, or part of, the outbound advice or assign allocated inventory to another location. If a variance has been approved, that is, the Approval field is set to Approved, and the variance is adjusted again, approval is only necessary when the variance is more than is stated in the Inventory Handling Parameters (whinh0100m000) session. If a recount is requested by the approval process in the Approve Cycle Counting Variances (whinh5801m000) session, you can no longer modify this order line. To process one or more specific cycle count order lines, select the concerned cycle count order lines, and on the appropriate menu, choose Process. Note To view the peg distribution data, use the Peg Distribution option from the References menu. This option is enabled only if the project pegging functionality is implemented and for the warehouse of type Project. Note If a cycle count order line concerns: A project warehouse, you must specify the project data in the Cycle Counting Order Line Peg Distribution (whinh5107m000) session before you can process the cycle count order. To start the Cycle Counting Order Line Peg Distribution (whinh5107m000) session, on the appropriate menu, choose Peg Distribution. A serialized item, you must specify the serialized items that are added to or subtracted from inventory in the Cycle Counting Order Line Lots and Serials (whinh5106m000) session before you can process the cycle count order. To start the Cycle Counting Order Line Lots and Serials (whinh5106m000) session, from the appropriate menu, choose Serials. Inventory ownership If the vendor managed inventory (VMI) functionality is used, you can view and maintain inventory ownership records in the Cycle Counting Order Line Ownership (whinh5105m000) session. An inventory ownership record specifies the owner or owners of the items that comprise the variance entered on the cycle counting order line. Inventory ownership records are either generated or manually created, this depends on the ownership settings of the warehouse and the items for which the variance occurs. For further details, see Cycle Counting Order Line Ownership (whinh5105m000) To start the Cycle Counting Order Line Ownership (whinh5105m000) session, click Ownership in the appropriate menu. For further information on ownership and vendor managed inventory, see Inventory ownership in Warehouse Management and Vendor managed inventory Related topics To perform cycle counts Cycle Counting Order The order number of the cycle-count order. Order The number of counts that are performed on one or more lines of this order. Note A recount can be initiated in the Cycle Counting Order Lines (whinh5101m000) session or in the Approve Cycle Counting Variances (whinh5801m000) session. Line The number of the cycle count order line. Approval The approval status of the order line. Counting Variance Approval Specification If this check box is selected, specifications are present for the items included in the current cycle counting order lines. Specification information is available in the fields of the Demand Peg group box of the details session. Related topics Demand pegging overview Location Warehouse The code of the warehouse to which the order applies. Note If the cycle count order line concerns a project warehouse, you must specify the project data in the Cycle Counting Order Line Peg Distribution (whinh5107m000) session before you can process the cycle count order. You can start the Cycle Counting Order Line Peg Distribution (whinh5107m000) session either from the Cycle Counting Order Lines (whinh5101m000) session or from the Enter Cycle Counting Results (whinh5101m100) session. Location A distinct place in a warehouse where goods are stored. A warehouse can be divided into locations to manage the available space, and to locate the stored goods. Storage conditions and blocks can be applied to individual locations. Storage Zone A part of the warehouse that can be assigned to specific employees or vehicles. Each location can be assigned to a zone. Row The code of the location's row. Level The code of the location's level. Bin The code of the location's bin. Note Often a bin number is used as a sequence number for the combination of row and level. Item Handling Unit A uniquely identifiable physical unit that consists of packaging and contents. A handling unit can contain items registered in Warehousing and other handling units. A handling unit has a structure of packaging materials used to pack items, or is a part of such a structure. A handling unit includes the following attributes: Identification code Packaging item (optional) Quantity of packaging items (optional) If you link an item to a handling unit, the item is packed by means of the handling unit. The packaging item refers to the type of container or other packing material of which the handling unit consists. For example, by defining a packaging item such as Wooden Crate for a handling unit, you specify that the handling unit is a wooden crate. Handling Unit Present If this check box is selected, the handling unit is present in inventory. If required, you can clear this check box to remove the handling unit from the inventory. Item In ERP Enterprise, the raw materials, subassemblies, finished products, and tools that can be purchased, stored, manufactured, sold, and so on. An item can also represent a set of items handled as one kit, or exist in multiple product variants. You can also define nonphysical items, which are not held in inventory but can be used to post costs or to invoice services to customers. The following are examples of nonphysical items: Cost items (for example, electricity) Service items Subcontracting services List items (menus/options) Note If a cycle count order line concerns a serialized item and the Serials in Inventory check box in the Item - Warehousing (whwmd4100s000) session is selected, you must specify the serialized items that are added to or subtracted from inventory in the Cycle Counting Order Line Lots and Serials (whinh5106m000) session before you can process the cycle count order. You can start the Cycle Counting Order Line Lots and Serials (whinh5106m000) session either from the Cycle Counting Order Lines (whinh5101m000) session or from the Enter Cycle Counting Results (whinh5101m100) session. Lot A number of items produced and stored together that are identified by a (lot) code. Lots identify goods. Related topics Default values for serialized items Peg distribution for cycle counting and adjustment orders Inventory Unit The unit of measure in which the inventory of an item is recorded, such as piece, kilogram, box of 12, or meter. The inventory unit is also used as the base unit in measure conversions, especially for conversions that concern the order unit and the price unit on a purchase order or a sales order. These conversions always use the inventory unit as the base unit. An inventory unit therefore applies to all item types, also to item types that cannot be kept in stock. Inventory Date The date assigned to the item when the item was stored. If the item has a particular shelf life, the inventory date is the product expiry date defined for the item. Default value If the value of the Outbound Method field in the Item - Warehousing (whwmd4100s000) session is one of the following, the default inventory date is the current date: LIFO FIFO If the value of the Outbound Method field in the Item - Warehousing (whwmd4100s000) session is By Location, no inventory date is specified. Storage Unit The unit in which the quantity of goods stored is expressed. Example Storage unit: box Inventory unit: liter Package Definition A particular configuration of items and their packaging. A package definition for an item can, for example, be the following: a pallet contains 12 boxes and each box contains 4 pieces. Quantity Stockpoint Inventory (Storage Unit) The quantity present at the stockpoint, expressed in the storage unit. When printed on a counting list, this quantity can be used to match with the quantities counted. Actual Inventory (Storage Unit) The quantity counted at the stockpoint, expressed in the storage unit. If the item is serialized and the Serials in Inventory check box in the Item - Warehousing (whwmd4100s000) session is selected, you cannot enter the actually counted inventory in the current field. To specify the counted inventory, click Serials. The Cycle Counting Order Line Lots and Serials (whinh5106m000) session starts, in which you can register the serial numbers, and specify whether the serial numbers are actually in inventory. Note You can only enter the counted quantity if the cycle-count order is printed. Therefore, you must select the Printed check box on the Cycle Counting Orders (whinh5100m000) session. Variance (Storage Unit) The difference between the quantity as registered in ERP Enterprise and the quantity counted at the stockpoint, expressed in the storage unit. Inventory Unit The unit of measure in which the inventory of an item is recorded, such as piece, kilogram, box of 12, or meter. The inventory unit is also used as the base unit in measure conversions, especially for conversions that concern the order unit and the price unit on a purchase order or a sales order. These conversions always use the inventory unit as the base unit. An inventory unit therefore applies to all item types, also to item types that cannot be kept in stock. Stockpoint Inventory (Inventory Unit) The quantity present at the stockpoint, expressed in the inventory unit. This quantity is printed on counting lists, if necessary, and checks the counting results. Actual Inventory (Inventory Unit) The quantity counted at the stockpoint, expressed in the inventory unit. Variance (Inventory Unit) The difference between the quantity as registered in ERP Enterprise and the quantity counted at the stockpoint, expressed in the inventory unit.

Note The following fields are always used in combination; together, they identify the relevant order or order line: Business Object Business Object Business Object Reference Allowed values Allocated to Business Object Type Related topics Demand pegging overview Business Object The order, or order line, to which the inventory was allocated. Note The following fields are always used in combination; together, they identify the relevant order or order line: Business Object Business Object Business Object Reference Related topics Demand pegging overview Reference A reference code to which the inventory was allocated. ERP Enterprise can use the inventory specified by this record to fulfill a demand specified by this reference and for no other purpose. ERP Enterprise can use this field in two ways: If the Business Partner field is filled, ERP Enterprise uses the Reference field to record a reference code defined by a customer. If the Business Partner field is empty, ERP Enterprise uses the Reference field to record an internal reference. You can use a reference code to keep a collection of parts linked together, even if they follow different routings, for example, if some of the parts are transported to a subcontractor to be returned later. Related topics Demand pegging overview Derived from Product Variant A unique configuration of a configurable item. The variant results from the configuration process and includes information such as feature options, components, and operations. Example Configurable item: electric drill Options: 3 power sources (batteries, 12 V or 220 V) 2 colors (blue, gray). A total of 6 product variants can be produced with these options. Related topics Product variants in Warehousing Product Variant The description or name of the code. Related topics Product variants in Warehousing Option List ID The identification of the options and features for a configured item. The ID is used in the item specification to match supply and demand. The ASN specifications include the option list ID. The ASN specifications are populated from the Inbound Order Lines (whinh2110m000) session. In turn, the specifications on the inbound order line are populated from the purchase schedule line. For configurable purchased items in Warehousing, only the option list ID is part of the specifications. This means that inventory is maintained per option list ID and is the total of inventory of all product variants with the same option list ID. Note The field is displayed only if the Assembly Control (ASC) check box is selected in the Implemented Software Components (tccom0100s000) session.
