Short text
Batch input: Enter count with reference to document
Description
This report generates a batch input session (BI session) which, when processed, enters the inventory count results with reference to a physical inventory document.
Before you start the report, make sure that the file entered on the selection screen is stored in the specified directory at operating system level.
The data for the batch input session is imported from an external dataset as a sequential file. The structure of the sequential file is preallocted by the table BISEG. You can display and print this structure via the information system in the data dictionary. Note that the object class Fields is chosen on the request screen of the information system.
Requirements
Entering counting results via a batch input session requires that the corresponding physical inventory document has been created in the system. If you try to enter a counting result for which no physical inventory document exists, an error will occur during the BI session, which will interrupt processing.
Any errors are recorded in the log file for the corresponding BI session.
Before the sequential file is read, you should perform a test run. For this purpose, you have to maintain the corresponding test data in table T159I. For the sequential file data to be read and and for test data in table T159I, please note the following:
The name of the report has to be specified only in table T159I. The name to be specified is RM07II34.
The name of the BI session is optional.
The name of the transaction Enter inventory count to be specified is MI04.
The following data must be entered into the system:
Count date
Fiscal year
Number of physical inventory document
Item in physical inventory document
Quantity of stock counted
Output
The system generates a batch input session which you can process via options System -> Services -> Batch input -> Sessions.
When processing the batch input session for testing purposes, you should set the Display errors only indicator.
When importing the actual productive data, you should always use the Background indicator.
If data expected by the system (required-entry fields) does not exist, an error will occur during the batch input session which will interrupt processing.
An error will also occur during the batch input session if you try to maintain data not expected by the system (fields not ready for input). However, processing will not be interrupted. The system writes a comment in the session log.
Thanks
