Environment

SAP Business ByDesign

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to Product Portfolio work center.
  2. Go to By Materials subview under Products view.

  4. Choose Edit.
  5. Change the Identified Stock Type from Optional Specified Stock to Batch.
  6. No automatic Physical Inventory count task is generated.
