• Key Concepts: 
  Physical Inventory is a process in SAP that allows users to take an inventory of physical goods and compare it to the inventory stored in the system. This process helps to ensure that the system accurately reflects the actual physical stock of goods. The AP-PIP SCM-PSL Physical Inventory Processing component is used to manage and monitor the physical inventory process. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The Physical Inventory process begins with a count of the physical goods. This count is then compared to the inventory stored in the system. If there are discrepancies between the two, adjustments are made to the system inventory. The AP-PIP SCM-PSL Physical Inventory Processing component can be used to manage and monitor this process, including creating and managing physical inventory documents, tracking inventory movements, and reconciling discrepancies. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When taking a physical inventory, it is important to ensure that all items are counted accurately. It is also important to ensure that all adjustments are made in a timely manner so that the system inventory accurately reflects the actual physical stock of goods.
