When creating the PI Document from the app 'Create Physical Inventory Documents'. If you choose the option 'Schedule Physical Inventory Document Creation' this is calling Job Template Annual Inventory: Create Physical Inventory Documents which is the same template being used from the app 'Job Scheduling and Mass Processing - Physical Inventory' - if we enter a planned count date in the past - we see the error M7834 Planned date for phys. inventory is earlier than today's date. We cannot enter a past date using the Scheduling option from this app.
