How To: Create a physical inventory recording
For each physical inventory order, you can create one or more physical inventory recording documents on which employees enter the counted quantities through Mobile WMS.
By default, a recording is created for all the lines on the related physical inventory order.

This setting makes sure that each new recording that you create only contains different items than the ones on other recordings.
