Description
You can use this program to count stock instorage bins in thewarehouse. It supports hand-held devices. The transaction consists oftwo screens. The first screen displays location, material and an entryfield for the quantity. The second screen is a detail screen withadditional information.
The system simplifies the process by showing the detail screen only

• When requested


• When the material ID alone is not sufficient to uniquely specify the
quant, or

• When the bookkeeping quantity differs from the quantity of the standard
pallet (1st palletization quantity in the material master
The report is part of the RF ability project in R/3 and can be accessedvia Menu transaction LM01 Inventory -> Bin Count orBin Count guided.

System-guided Bin Count
The Bin Count Guided transaction searches for active inventorydocuments that have not yet been (completely) counted that have beenassigned to the name of the current user. It then leads the user to thefirst bin location for which the entry of count results are required.The bin location must be verified by scanning a barcode or by enteringa valid verification value for the corresponding bin.
The system only proposes the next bin if the stock in a bin has beenfully counted.

Bin Count
The Bin Count transaction allows users to specify a specific binlocation (that needs to be counted) which is not in the sequence listedin the inventory document. Nonetheless, the system still requires thecounting of active inventory documents as well. After checking thewarehouse number, storage type and bin location you can enter countresults into the system.
There is a set/get-parameter ID active for thewarehouse number and thestorage type so that afteryou have made the first entry, you only need to enter the bin locationwhen you choose a bin. Since you can use the barcoded bin location,this simplifies the entry of this data.

Using the Transactions
Once you enter the data, you may save it or view the details bychoosing DETAIL. You can enter or change detail data. If you find anunlisted material in the bin, you can add it in the detail screen.After entry, the system checks the data for consistency. You can onlysave the data if the consistency check is successful.

Precondition
For storage types managed for storage units, also see the onlinedocumentation for program RLMOB003.
For this function, you create and activate inventory documents in thesystem in the usual manner.
For the system-guided option, you need to assign users to the inventorydocuments before you activate them.
The system-guided variant requires the entry of a verification fieldfor the bin location. You maintain the verification field in the binmaster record. This is supported by the reportRLVERIFY that allows you to fill the field. Forthis, there are three options. You can use


• The storage bin coordinates


• Part of the storage bin coordinates


• A customer exit

Output
In case of errors, a message appears. You can change missing orincorrect data. If there are no errors, the system updates theinventory counting results in the database and displays a correspondingmessage.
The SAP standard confirmation dialog box which normally appears hasbeen deactivated for this function. Therefore, you should chooseBACK with caution. Choosing BACK causes the system toleave the current transaction and the entered data will be lost withoutwarning.
