Oracle Inventory provides a fully automated physical inventory feature that you can use to reconcile system–maintained item on–hand balances with actual counts of inventory. Accurate system on–hand quantities are essential for managing supply and demand, maintaining high service levels, and planning production.
1. Define a physical inventory for your whole warehouse or subdivisions within your warehouse.
2. Take a snapshot of system on–hand quantities. You must procedurally coordinate the snapshot of your physical inventory with your actual counting, and ensure that no transaction activity occurs in a particular location until after you have performed your adjustments.
3.1 Generate alphanumeric tags.
3.2 Count the TAGs. Void unused or lost tags.
3.3 Approve or reject physical inventory adjustments based on approval tolerances.
4. Automatically post adjustments to inventory balances and general ledger accounts.
5. Purge physical inventory information.
