What is the difference between Physical Inventory Journal and Warehouse Physical Inventory Journal and its usage in Nav2009

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Community Member

We just went live with Nav2009 in July, 2012 and we will be doing our physical inventory in December.

Some of our locations are bin controlled and direct put away and some are not bin controlled (these are public or consignment warehouse).

I am confused between the Physical Inventory Journal and the Warehouse Physical Inventory Journal.

For those locations that are bin controlled - do we use the warehouse physical inventory journal? Once we did all the adjustment and registered it - do we use the Physical Inventory Journal to post it to the item ledgers?

(Is this similar to the whse item journal and item journal relationship ?)

For those location that are not bin controlled or consignment - do we just use the Physical Inventory Journal to update our physical count?

Appreciate any help provided.

    See my post above.  The Physical Inventory Journal does not "Post" to the Ledgers.  For Advance Warehousing (Directed Putaway and Pick Locations), you must use the Warehouse Phys. Inventory Journal and REGISTER it. Afterwards, you run the FUNCTION > CALCULATE WHSE ADJUSTMENT on the Item Journal and post your results to the ledgers.

    If you are NOT using Advanced Warehousing, you can use the Phys. Inventory Journal and simply POST this journal to your ledgers.

    If we use Warehouse Physical Inventory Journal for direct putaway and picked locations and registered - can we use the Physical Inventory Journal to post the entries or do we need to use the Item Journal to post the entries.

    I was reading Microsoft Training Manual for NAV regarding Warehouse Management and it was stated on the training manual that we should use the Physical Inventory Journal.

    Is there any difference using Item Journal or Physical Inventory Journal to post ot the item ledgers when we do physcial inventory?

    This help me out. We are thinking of using the Warehouse Physical Inventory Journal to input the opening balance of a warehouse that we did not migrate back in july and will use the item journal to post the entries.

    The Warehouse Physical Inventory Journal is for your directed putaway and pick locations.  Once registered, you run the Calculate function on the Item Journal to post the entries.

    The Physical Inventory Journal is for locations that are not directed putaway and pick.  Entries are posted to the ledgers from this journal directly.
