In the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) System, it is possible to count available stock and keep the records on the system by using the physical inventory process. Physical inventory can be performed in two types, those are:
Also, physical inventory can be performed on three stock types, which are:
In the normal process of physical inventory the following steps should be followed:
The physical inventory process can be performed by making the count and entering it into the system manually. But there is another method that SAP offers to simplify the performing process, and this method is using radio frequency devices in the process.
RF is a device module that is used to transmit signals between two devices. RF is generally used in embedded systems to transmit information between units wirelessly. In SAP EWM, RF devices are used for scanning bar codes on the handling units, which contain information about the product inside it, and transfer the information to the system. RF devices can be used while performing various processes, such as picking, putaway, loading, packing, physical inventory and etc. RF devices are usually portable computer devices that have a touch screen, keyboard, and scanner.
To summarize, physical inventory is a significant process for the management of a warehouse and it can be performed both manually or by using an RF device. RF device eases the process and helps the user to perform physical inventory processes more practically. So, it is safe to say that using RF devices should be preferable.
