Documentation

Definition

The physical inventory type allows you to differentiate between physical inventories. It is currently possible to use this indicator to show that a physical inventory is taken due to cycle counting. You can thereby ensure that these inventory documents are treated differently to documents relating to, for example, periodic physical inventories. The inventory type can have the following values:

• (blank): other inventory type
• 1: cycle count

Use

You can use this differentiation, for example, in the traditional method of valuation by delivered price (retail method of accounting), to exclude cycle counting inventories when determining shrinkage.
