To Create a Physical Inventory Type for Counts by ABC Code and Frequency

When you use ABC codes for stock items, you can include in the physical inventory not only items with a particular ABC code assigned but also items that are due based on the frequencies associated with ABC codes. To configure this type of physical inventory, you create a physical inventory type by using the Physical Inventory Types (IN208900) form, as described in this topic.

Note: To open any form, you can navigate to it or search for it (by its name or by its form ID without periods). For more information about search capabilities, see Search.
