Perform ad-hoc and planned inventory counts quickly and efficiently

The Inventory App enables faster, simpler and more efficient inventory counting in SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM). It supports both ad-hoc and planned inventory counts, allows fast handling of handling units and products, and integrates barcode scanning for accurate data capture.

Benefits

  • Respond faster to inventory issues

    Quickly initiate ad-hoc inventory checks whenever discrepancies or operational questions arise. This enables teams to identify and resolve stock issues before they impact downstream processes.

  • Work efficiently with a queue-based task list

    Access a queue-based list of open inventory documents that clearly shows where counting is required. Users can easily select and process tasks directly from the list, ensuring all inventory activities are completed in a structured and transparent way.

  • Perform planned and ad-hoc inventories

    Easily execute both scheduled and spontaneous inventory counts within the same application. Stay flexible and respond quickly to operational needs, unexpected stock checks, or compliance requirements without interrupting your workflow.

Features

Adjust stock types flexible

Easily change the stock type directly during the inventory process. This allows users to quickly correct stock classifications when discrepancies are identified, ensuring that inventory data remains accurate and aligned with warehouse processes.

Efficient handling of empty storage bins

A dedicated Empty Button allows users to quickly confirm and process empty storage locations during inventory counting. This significantly speeds up the counting process, especially in areas with many empty bins, and reduces the effort required for manual confirmation.
