  • Key Concepts: 
    Annual inventory is a process in SAP Warehouse Management (LE-WM) that allows users to take a physical count of all the items in their warehouse. This process is used to ensure that the inventory records in the system are accurate and up-to-date. The annual inventory process can be done manually or automatically, depending on the user's preference. 
    
    How to use it: 
    To use the annual inventory process, users must first create an inventory document in SAP. This document will contain all the necessary information about the items that need to be counted. Once the document is created, users can then begin the physical count of the items in their warehouse. After the count is complete, users can then update their inventory records in SAP with the new information. 
    
    Tips & Tricks: 
    When performing an annual inventory, it is important to ensure that all items are counted accurately and that any discrepancies are noted and corrected. Additionally, it is important to keep track of any changes that have been made to the inventory since the last count was taken. This will help ensure that all records are up-to-date and accurate.
