| To perform inventory adjustments |  |
| You can use inventory adjustments to manually change the inventory registered by ERP LN at a specific stockpoint. To perform inventory adjustments, you must create inventory adjustment orders. To create inventory adjustment orders You can create inventory adjustment orders in one of the following two ways: Enter an inventory adjustment order in the Adjustment Orders (whinh5120m000) session and then enter an adjustment order line in the Adjustment Order Lines (whinh5121m000) session. In the Adjustment Order Lines (whinh5121m000) session, you can specify the quantity to which the inventory must be adjusted for each stock point. Enter an inventory adjustment order (line), without separately creating an inventory adjustment order and inventory adjustment order line, in the Easy Adjustment Entry (whinh5202m000) session. You can print inventory adjustment orders with the Process Adjustment Orders (whinh5221m000) session. The reports printed by this session contain the inventory registered by ERP LN and the inventory as specified by the inventory adjustment order. Note Inventory adjustment orders can also be automatically generated. The automatically generated inventory adjustment orders are directly processed and, as a result, are only filed in the Adjustment Orders History (whinh5570m000) session and the Adjustment Order Lines History (whinh5571m000) session. Use the Remove Processed Adjustment Order Lines (whinh5271m000) session to file manually created processed adjustment orders in the adjustment order and adjustment order line sessions. To process inventory adjustment orders To effectuate inventory adjustments specified on an inventory adjustment order line, you must process the inventory adjustment order. You can use the following sessions to process inventory adjustment orders: Process Cycle Counting Orders (whinh5201m000) Use this session to process a range of inventory adjustment orders. Adjustment Orders (whinh5120m000) Use this session to process one or more selected inventory adjustment orders. Adjustment Order Lines (whinh5121m000) Use this session to process one or more selected inventory adjustment order lines. If you process an inventory adjustment order line: ERP LN adjusts the system quantities of the stock point according to the quantities specified on the inventory adjustment order line. ERP LN posts the financial transactions if a variance occurs on the inventory adjustment order line. If the variance concerns: A lot, ERP LN creates a lot transaction for a negative variance in the Item - Lots - Issues (whltc3500m000) session, and for a positive variance in the Item - Lots - Receipts (whltc3501m000) session. A serialized item in the low volume scenario, ERP LN creates a serial transaction for a negative variance in the Item - Serials - Issues (whltc5510m000) session and for a positive variance in the Item - Serials - Receipts (whltc5511m000) session. A high volume serialized item, variances are processed in the same way as anonymous items, because high volume serial numbers are not maintained in inventory. If the adjustment concerns a lot that you have not yet received, the lot's Lot Size and First Receipt Date field in the Item - Lot (whltc1100m000) session will be adjusted as follows: Lot Size The lot size is increased or decreased according to the increase or decrease of the adjustment. First Receipt Date If the lot was not yet received, the first receipt date will match the date of the adjustment. Inventory ownership If the vendor managed inventory (VMI) functionality is used, you can view and maintain inventory ownership records in the Adjustment Order Line Ownership (whinh5125m000) session. An inventory ownership record specifies the owner or owners of the items that comprise the variance entered on the adjustment order line. For more information, refer to Ownership records. 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. To start the Adjustment Order Line Ownership (whinh5125m000) session, in the appropriate menu of the Adjustment Order Lines (whinh5121m000) session, click Ownership. For further information on ownership and vendor managed inventory, see Inventory ownership in Warehouse Management and Vendor managed inventory. Note If an inventory adjustment order line concerns: A project warehouse, you must specify the project data in the Cycle Counting Order Line Project Data (whinh5107m000) session before you can process the inventory adjustment order. You can start the Cycle Counting Order Line Project Data (whinh5107m000) session from the Adjustment Order Lines (whinh5121m000) session. A serialized item, you must specify the serialized items that are added or subtracted from inventory in the Cycle Counting Order Line Lots and Serials (whinh5106m000) session before you can process the inventory adjustment order. You can start the Cycle Counting Order Line Lots and Serials (whinh5106m000) session from the Adjustment Order Lines (whinh5121m000) session.
