Automatic generation of physical Inv. docs. for Cycle Counts

Question

I would like to know if physical inventory documents for cycle counts can be created automatically by SAP. i.e. all A class materials will have physical inventory documents generated automatically after every 3 months. Is this possible?
Many thanks.

Answer 1

Technically it is possible to run the creation program scheduled in background.
But not everything what is technically possible makes  sense for the business process.
Before you generate inventory documents (it does not matter whether this is anual inventory or Cycle count) you have to make sure that any receipt or goods issue that happened before the count is posted in SAP.
This often can only be achieved by calling the Usual Suspects.
With a good organisation in place this can even be achieved with scheduled jobs, but such good organisations I have not seen often (did I ever?)
Further you might have a kind of misunderstanding. Each cycle count has all due to be counted materials, no matter if the CC indicator is A, B C or D.  There is no field in the selection screen to tell SAP to just create inventory documents on A items.
The CC indicator defines how often a material is to be counted,  but not when. The when is defined by last inventory, or accounting view creation date. So you should plan to count minimum once in a month, I recommend to do it weekly, but it depends on the number of items you have to count.
