    As with the post on low stock checking.

    EWM has the ability to perform physical inventory. The rst step

    It is necessary to de ne what the tolerance groups are for the posting


    di erences. This way the system can be told how much is essentially
    “too much” in terms of variance. This concept of tolerance also comes
    up in Event Management.

    After a ag is set, its time to con gure the which storage bins to
    display. We will pick our storage bin. We will look at this storage in the
    next part of the exercise.

    We will test the system by entering a negative quantity. See we have


    selected the storage bin that we previously set to display.

    Notice how once we have a negative value we get this error. This, of
    course, tells us what the problem is and is a way for EWM to monitor
