SAP Program RLINV015 - Carry out Continuous Inventory

Purpose
With the continuous inventory method you take inventory on a selectednumber of storage bins in a storage type. The inventory can take placeat any time during the fiscal year. Compared to the annual inventorycount at the end of the fiscal year, the continuous inventory has someadvantages.

  • The effort for the inventory is not concentrated on a certain day or
  • days but is distributed over the entire year. This can result in abetter levelling of the workload in the warehouse.
    • Inventory can be conducted during slow times, for example, during the
    • summer vacation period.
      • With a reduction in the effort required at the end of the fiscal year,
      • a company can respond better to problems that might arise during anend-of-year closing.
        • When an inventory is carried out on a continuous basis, up-to-date
        • information about the correspondence between the warehouse stock andthe book inventory is always available.
