Physical Inventory Review

Form ID: (IN305000)

Note: This form is available only if the Inventory feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form.

You use this form to manage the data entry process for a physical inventory with the Data Entering status and to view the results of a completed physical inventory. You can select a physical inventory document, start the count data entry process, export the list of items to be counted to an XLSX file, import the results of the counting, review and edit the data, complete the physical inventory process, or cancel the physical inventory document.

Note: During the initial implementation of the inventory management functionality, you can use this form to import the initial quantities of the stock items.

You generate physical inventory documents by using the Prepare Physical Count (IN504000) form. To manually enter the count data, you can use the Physical Inventory Count (IN305010) form. For more details about conducting a physical inventory, see Physical Inventory Counts.

Form Toolbar

The form toolbar includes standard buttons and form-specific buttons and commands. For the list of standard buttons, see Form Toolbar and More Menu. The form-specific commands can be shown as buttons on the form toolbar, as commands on the More menu, or in both places. These commands are listed in the following table in alphabetical order.


Command	Description
Cancel PI	Cancels the physical inventory review process and changes the status of the current physical inventory document to Canceled. Canceled documents do not generate inventory adjustment transactions.
Complete PI	Completes the physical inventory data entry process. As a result, the status of the physical inventory document changes to Completed.
Finish Counting	Changes the status of the physical inventory document to Data Entering, which makes the document available for data entry. If the Freeze Inventory When PI Count Is in Data Entry State check box was not selected for this warehouse, this action cancels freezing for the warehouse; if the check box is selected, the warehouse remains in the freezing state until either Cancel PI or Complete PI command is applied.
Set Not Entered to Skipped	For each line with the Not Entered status, changes the status to Skipped on the Physical Inventory Details tab. The lines with the Skipped status are not processed by the system.
Set Not Entered to Zero	Sets zero as the physical quantity for each line with the Not Entered status and changes the status of the line to Entered on the Physical Inventory Details tab.
Update Actual Cost	Updates the cost of the inventory items on the Physical Inventory Details tab using quantities resulting from the physical count. The average cost is used for all items, no matter which cost valuation method is assigned.
