Write On\Off Stock Without Corresponding IM Movements

Question

Hey There,
Our business users have gotten themselves tangled up in some knots. There was a stock count that took place where stock was written on and off our system from an IM point-of-view with the 701 and 702 movements but without the corresponding WM movement alongside it.
From what I know the correct way to write off stock is to move the stock into the Differences bin and then do the 712 movement to complete the WM movment and do the corresponding IM movment. To write on stock, you should just reverse the processes.
However, as the business just used the 701\702 movments, there was no corresponding WM movements and so there are stock differences all over the place.
To complicate matters this stock take took place in a previous period that has been closed and some of the stock has been either sold or moved from an IM point of view.
We have investigated the issue as best we can and we believe that the best policy is to independantly write on\off the stock from a WM point of view without the corresponding IM movments.
Is this possible and if yes how? If it is not possible how would you recommend we rectify this situation?
Many Thanks,
Colm

Answer 1

I am getting confused
You and me both!!
I am as certain as I can be that after doing my 702 write off there were no TOs or TRs created and the WM stock is sitting in the exact same storage type in LS26 as it was before I wrote off the stock and there doesn't appeart to be any other negative stocks in LS26 corresponding to my write off.
I have discussed it further with the business and for the write-off issue, they are happy to write stock back on using a 701 movement and then write it off correctly using the 712 movements. e.g.
Current
WM 10
IM    0
701 Write On
WM 10
IM 10
712 Write Off
WM 0
IM 0
This will satisfy them for the write offs as from an IM point of view it will be a write on followed by a write off and from a WM point of view the stock will then leave correctly.
However, we can not do the same thing for our stock that was wrote on as it has already been moved on from an IM point of view so the orginal question is still there. Is there a way we can write on stock from a WM point-of-view without updating the IM stock.
