I don't remember the exact details, but I believe that physical inventory,
in effect writes a new opening balance. Take a look at the transaction
effects to confirm.
Therefore if you have not cleared out the adjustments, receipts and issues
columns prior to posting the inventory results, you will end up with wrong
on hand balances.
At one company I was at, we modified physical inventory so that it
calculated and posted an adjustment, based on a frozen onhand file created
immediately before physical inventory so we could accomplish exactly what
you want to do - take inventory whenever you want. If you do this you will
need to also post to IWI and IIM or run rebuild inventory from ILI,
immediately after posting.
