EWM Physical Inventory and Internal Movements

Keep this: job aid

EWM counts and movements card

• Procedures: periodic, ad hoc, low/zero stock, putaway, cycle counting (indicator + interval), bin check, external.
• Bin-specific counts everything in a bin; product-specific counts one product.
• PI area = activity area + settings; completeness lasts the fiscal year.
• Tolerance groups: recounting, posting differences, difference analyzer (value + wait time).
• Difference: post in EWM → analyzer (/SCWM/DIFF_ANALYZER) → clear to IM (/SCWM/WM_ADJUST); net offsetting entries first.
• Standard PI difference movement types for warehouses: 711/712 (unrestricted); check your system.
• Replenishment: planned, automatic, order-related (may exceed max, rounds up), direct (fixed bins, picker-directed).
• Ad hoc: /SCWM/ADPROD, /SCWM/ADHU; posting change: /SCWM/POST; restrict, require reasons, review weekly.
• Reconcile daily: EWM bins = IM 171R + 171A (± analyzer and designed delays) = finance value.
• Stock comparison (/SCWM/ERP_STOCKCHECK) finds differences; never let it fix them silently.
