Appendix 2: Guidance for discrepancies analysis
Adjustments are analyzed in accordance with the value of the adjustment and type of item involved, in order to:
- Identify failures in the control systems so that improvements can be made,
- Reduce similar discrepancies in the future,
- Ensure that the proper adjustment was made,
- Evaluate indicators of trends or system problems for corrective action,
- Detect negligence, abuse, or theft
To make the analysis, it is necessary to use the material document history to look for anomalies for the product and batch under investigation. (transaction MB51 in RCS)
The following plan gives an example of the main inventory movements that can create discrepancies and the main actions that could be taken to avoid them:
1 Reception: Movement type: 101-102 Goods receipt for purchase order into warehouse/stores
