If the difference quantity is below the tolerance limit, system can post PI document automatically after entering the count
.To achieve this, it is required to maintain the set up against Reason for physical Inventory.

Configuration

Here if we select the ‘Autom’ , there is no automatic posting after the counting of physical inventory documents
that are subject to differences and which were created with the reason

the automatic posting of differences into the ERP system is prevented if this is carried out via the transaction
/SCWM/WM_ADJUST (“Automatic Posting of Differences “).

If you do not select this checkbox, automatic posting is allowed.
