This diagram illustrates a physical inventory process flow within SAP. Here’s a breakdown of the cycle:

1. Initiation: The process starts with a physical inventory request, which can be initiated by a warehouse clerk or inventory manager.
2. Counting and Recording: After a list is created, items are physically counted and the counts are entered into the system. If there are any differences between the physical count and the system records, a recount may be required.
3. Documenting and Posting: Inventory documents are created, and the physical inventory results are posted to the system.
4. Analysis and Follow-up: The inventory manager analyzes the results and takes any necessary follow-up actions, such as investigating discrepancies or making adjustments to inventory records.
