Changing Non-Inv to Inventory Item....in OPM

Hi
With One our US client, there is one item, which is set up as Non-inventory item in Item Master and saved. Later, infact there are no transaction done on this.
Now we want to change this item as INVENTORY item ( see the Navigation )
OPM Inv/set up/Item master, here query that item
When I change this Non-Inventory field from "Yes" to "No" and while saving this form, it is throwing an error " APP-GMI-83154: Item number not found"
My question is
a) Can I change this Item from Non-Inventory o Inventory (Assume even transaction taken place also )
Note:It is allowing me to save the form, only If, I change the Warehouse Item other than the existing. If I save like this, then the item is one and the warehouse item is another....will it affect the costing of the warehouse item, Since initially this item defined as Non Inventory item and now we have changed this to Inventory Item with different warehouse item.
Any help will be gr8ly appriciated.
Thanks

Hi Raj
You can only change an Item from Non-Inventory to Inventory when no transactions taken place.
Just try this
1. Change the Non-Inventory Flag to NO .
2. Change the Whse Item to some other Whse Item. Save.
3. Now Change the Non-Inventory Flag to YES. Save.
4. Then again change the Non-Inventory Flag to NO.
5. Now you can change the Whse Item to its initial Whse Item. Save it.
Best Regards
Prem.

  • Purchasing - A/P Transaction Processing for Services and Non Inventory Item

    On of the main areas of concern that businesses have is in the area of Purchasing, Goods Receipts and AP Invoices Processing - There is a requirement that businesses have widely referred to as 3-way matching.
    While SAP Business One has this functionality covered quiet well via the following, there is still some need for enhancements so that the application can correctly reflect the AP Accruals:
    - Purchase Order processing with Approval Process (if configured)
    - Ability to perform Goods Receipts for Services.
    - Matching of AP Invoices to Goods Receipts with AP Invoice Approval Process (if configured)
    The above transactions serve the 3-way matching quiet well for all purchases however when it comes to accuring for Services that have been provided, the application does not do this. The Goods Receipt transaction processing to acknowledge the service delivery is allowed however the related posting to the allocation account is missing.
    The process that is followed by the application is same for Items that have not Inventory Items in Item Master.
    As a result of the above, the business have to manually work out what the Accurals for services provided but not invoiced should be.
    With little enhancement to the product this shortfall could very easily be overcome.

    Hi,
    Once there are transactions, we cannot make existing Inventory type item to Non Inventory type item.
    Check SAP note:937297 which states as follows :
    Symptom
    Changing the status of the Inventory Item checkbox (in Item Master Data) for items with inventory transactions and documents, might lead to inaccuracies in the calculations of inventory value.
    Other terms
    Inventory Item, Non-inventory Item, Item Master Data, Continuous Stock, Perpetual Inventory, Inventory Valuation, 2004, 2005, 2005 A SP01
    Reason and Prerequisites
    Consulting Note
    Solution
    The status of an item (Inventory Item/Non-Inventory item as selected in the Inventory Item checkbox in the Item Master Data window), cannot be changed once an A/P, A/R, or Inventory document is posted for the item.

  • Changing inventory item ID

    Is it possible to change the ID of an item in the system?  And/or is it possible to remove an existing item (that has transactions associated with it)?  The scenario is that my client has an item that was marked as a Sales and Purchasing item, but now they want to stock it and they can not add the Inventory designation once the item has been used in transactions.

    Hi Kathy
    You cannot change the Inventory Item Tick once there are transactions. The reason is that non ticked items do not track quantities in the warehouse. The best as mentioned by Gordon is to create another code. You can however change the purchase and sales ticks, except if you are using the item in any BOM's.
    Kind regards

  • Formatted Search - Calculate GP Base Price for Non Inventory Items

    Hi Experts,
    On one of our customer's 8.8 PL 15 installation, requirement was to calculate GP for Non Inventory Items (on SO screen). Since SAP does not automatically calculates it we proposed and implemented following solution.
    1. Have all Non Inventory Items to be costed at Standard cost so that you can manually enter the cost in the Item Master.
    2. Write following formatted search on GP Base Price field so as to calculate the GP Base Price for the Non Inventory Items only. The formatted search must not make any changes to Inventory Items as we want system to calculate the GP automatically (just in case cost changes from SO to Delivery or Invoice).
    DECLARE @II AS nVarchar(1)
    DECLARE @COST AS Numeric(19,2)
    SET @II = (SELECT OITM.InvntItem FROM OITM WHERE OITM.ItemCode = $[RDR1.ItemCode])
    SET @COST = (SELECT     (OITW.AVGPrice * $[RDR1.NumPerMsr]) FROM     OITW WHERE     OITW.ItemCode = $[RDR1.ItemCode] AND
         OITW.WhsCode = $[RDR1.WhsCode])
    IF (@II = 'N')
    BEGIN
    SELECT @COST
    END
    3. Formatted search achieves what was originally required however if a user overwrites the Item Code (Inventory Item) in the SO then above formatted search clears the GP Base Price field and sets the GP basis for the item as "Manual". By obverwrite means user first selected item A0001 on line 1 and then entered A0002 on same line i.e. Line 1.
    My question here is what is wrong in the formatted search that is resulting in this behaviour.
    Any questions please let me know.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards
    Devinder

    Hi Gordon,
    Thanks for taking out time to help me however Key requirement here is
    Write formatted search on GP Base Price field so as to calculate the GP Base Price for the Non Inventory Items only.
    Your query sets the base price for GP Base Price for Inventory Item to ZERO and Base Price By to Manual.
    Note that my Formatted search has a problem only when an Inventory Item line is overwritten. I am not sure if this is a problem with SAP itself rather than my query.
    Any other ideas please?

  • OPM and Discrete Inv. - Inventory Transactions

    Hi,
    Implementation: OPM, OraFin, and some CRM (11i.7) modules for a beverage company.
    Where can we find a document or white paper to explain which inventory module (OPM / Discrete) is used for which item type (production-formula, non-production-formula, stores, non-production non-formula, etc.).
    regards
    pieter

    Pieter,
    I have been implementing Financials, OPM / Order Managment and some CRM for a Snackfoods company.
    I don't know of any documents that describe what you require but I can describe Inventory in OPM/Discrete as follows:
    As I am not sure of you experience with OPM and Discrete Inventory I will explain a few points (all relevant to 11.5.7 OPM Famliy Pack H)
    Inventory Orgs in Discrete are equivalent to Warehouses in OPM. If an item needs to be received into the same inventory Org and that Org is process enabled the item must be defined in OPM. All items defined in OPM are Syncronised to Discrete Process enabled inventory org as long as they are select in the Organisations screen.
    Formula's = OPM Items
    Production = OPM Items
    Quality = OPM Items
    Purchasing / Receiving = Discrete Items
    Order Management = Discrete Items
    Manufacturing Accounting Controller = OPM Items
    Move Orders = OPM Items
    In direct answer to you question
    Production-formula = OPM Items
    Non-production-formula = OPM Items
    Stores = Discrete Item (Initially created in OPM)
    Non-production non-formula = Discrete Item (Initially created in OPM. Possibly set to Non Inventory).
    All these answers assume that these items will need to reside in the same warehouse (Inventory Org). If items reside in a separate warehouse and none of the transaction listed with OPM against them are required these items could be placed in a Discrete Inventory Org that is not process enabled.
    Hope this is of assistance.

  • GR/IR Clearing for Non-Inventory Items in PO

    Hi all,
    Can anybody explain if GR/IR reconciliation can be done for non-inventory items in PO. For example, I've raised a PO for a service and received invoice before the service is delivered (little hypothetical, of course, but incase).
    If so, will it show in the same MR11?
    Thanks
    durga.

    Hi,
    First of all , in case of Service ,Only SR/IR reconcilation can be done.....second ,if your service is not delivered then you can give advance against service PO.

  • Need negative quantity non-inventory items on Credit Memo

    Version: (2007A)
    Description of requirements: (Please provide a detailed description)
    Our customer issues many invoices with a negative quantity line item for a miscellaneous non-inventory item. These non-inventory items are used to reduce the amount of the invoice regarding miscellaneous credits to their customers.  These are not discounts.
    When the customer wants to credit these invoices, they canu2019t create a Credit Memo based on the invoice because SAP wonu2019t allow this if there are line items with negative amounts.
    When they create a credit memo not based on an invoice, they arenu2019t allowed to enter a negative quantity for a line item as they are for an Invoice. They are forced to create a credit memo not based on an invoice the inventory item line items and an invoice or Journal Entry for the negative quantity line item to debit back the miscellaneous line amount.
    As an example:
    Invoice line item one for inventory item: qty one, price 100,line total $100.00
    Invoice line item two non-inventory item misc credit: quanity -1, price 10, total -$10.00
    Invoice Total $90.00
    In Order to provide the correct credit amount, they have to create a Credit Memo not based on an invoice for line item one, qty one, price 100 u2013 value -100 and an invoice for the non-inventory item for qty one, price 10 -  value 10.00.
    This creates a net credit for the customer of 90.00
    This looks ridiculous to their customers when they see these transactions on their statements, creates extra work for the users and there is no link between the three documents.
    By using inventory items for these miscellaneous credits, they can assign a sales revenue of their choice. They have multiple sales accounts and the GL posting is determined by the item group for the item. By assigning the desired item group to these non-inventory items, they can control which sales account is updated on their marketing documents when using these non-inventory items.
    If they were to use the Freight items, they would need a separate freight setup entry for combination of item group and miscellaneous credit. Because they have so many Item Groups and types of credits, they would need a great many separate Freight Charges to choose from.
    All of the above pertains to all of our customers. This customer has a custom add-on and their marketing documents are all created from custom objects.  They hit a button on the custom sales contract screen and an invoice is created.  When they hit another button on the screen, the selected invoice is credited. They have legally binding contracts for fixed quantities to be shipped, so we decrease the quantity shipped when creating an invoice and decrease the quantity shipped when a credit memo is created. The contract is fulfilled when the exact quantity contracted for has been shipped. Because the credit memo fails, we canu2019t update the custom objectu2019s remaining to be shipped, rendering it inaccurate from that time forward. (reducing the quantity shipped is part of the Credit Memo creation process).Creating Credit Memos and Invoices from the interface fixes the inventory count, customer balance, etc., but we have no way of fixing the sales contractu2019s quantity shipped & remaining to be shipped or linking the contracts to the documents created from the interface.
    Business needs: (Please describe the impact on your business, if the functionality is not realized)
    Examples: (Please describe a typical example, how the functionality should work.)
    Credit Memos should allow negative quantities and line total amounts for non-inventory items, the same way that A/R Invoices do, so that credit memos can be based on invoices that have negative quantity non-inventory line items.
    Current Workaround: (Please describe the workarounds you are using at the moment)
    Please see above
    Proposed solution: (Please suggest how the new functionality should work)
    Credit Memos should allow negative quantities and line total amounts for non-inventory items, the same way that A/R Invoices do.

    Hi Sean......
    System is behaving properly as per its logic. Infact it does same in all the previous or upcoming versions.
    If you have Item Type GRPO for Non Inventory Item it does not create any accounting but you can see the same during AP invoice.
    GRPO for such type is only optional. For further clarification you can discuss this with your CA what he suggests. But i suggest you to raise AP invoice also for getting Account effect. Just see doing this in test DB you get your answer......

  • Credit memo for non inventory item

    Hi MM consulatnats,
    My client need to know the best practices to handle teh credit memo for non inventory item ??
    We have two options like FB65 in FI part where it wont update in PO history.
    In MIRO also we can make credit memo w.r.to PO.
    What they  want to know is if FB65  is the correct way to do this to fully reverse the effect that the receipt and invoicing of the item had on the financial accounts.
    What is the best pracise to adopt ??
    Need your views
    Thanks
    A.Gururajan

    Hi,
    You can use MIRO for credit Memo with ref to PO.
    This will update both PO history as well as your FI accounts/Vendor Balance.
    Thanks & Regards,

  • Item master - change inventory item also as a purchase item

    hi all,
    How to change inventory item for which BOM is created already also as a purchase item ?

    You will need to delete the Components of the BOM / delete the BOM itself.  Change the Item type and re-define the BOM.

  • No entries for Inventory Item under Elimination of IP/L in Transferred Inv

    Within 6.0v, I have had the system generate data target & infoprovider for Documents, Inventory data, & Supplier data.
    I now want to activate the Elimination of Interunit Profit/Loss in Transferred Inventory, but there are no items to select in drop down and system does not allow me to enter inventory unit on Data Model tab for Data Basis.  I have changed the InfoObject Catalog for Chars on the Field Catalog tab to 0SEM_BCS_CHA01 since this has both inventory item and product group as I had read many threads that said both are needed.
    Any ideas as to what step I might be missing would be appreciated.

    Ok:
    ConsArea, Settings tab, tick there the 'Elim. of IU P/L in Inventory' flag. After regeneration of the ConsArea you'll see additional menu in the WB for customizing IPI.
    About not ticking extra flags in data basis see the info here:

  • How to correct journals for non inventory items

    Hi All,
    One of my client by mistake made a non-inventory item as an inventory item and used FIFO valuation.
    Now he has created some 30 purchase invoices, goods receipt PO for it in the last month.
    While doing month end they reconcillation they realized the inventory numbers are bloated and found this problem.
    Now they have cancelled the old item defination and created a new one.
    But the problem is how to correct the journal entries for the what has already been done.
    Problem is that Cost of this item is wrong because it got created as a inventory item and was using FIFO.
    Please suggest a fastest route to correct this problem.

    Hi Divam........
    I guess Inventory revaluation is not possible in case of Non Inventory Item. You must take the goods return on GRN basis......

  • Need a query to update the inventory item to non inventory item

    Dear all,
            I need a query which should update the Inventory to Non - Inventory Item.

    Hi,
    You need to freeze the inventory by click inactive tick box. This will prevent users to use the inventory.
    The inventory posting lists will still exists as an inventory's transaction history for auditor if the inventory have had transactions.
    To empty the warehouse, just perform good issue and use inventory decrease account. After the warehouse has been empty, create similar inventory item by right click --> select duplicate. Create new item code and in the tab remarks, just write this non inventory item was ever inventory item with code e.g. xxxx.
    if you want to recover the stock, just create new item and then receive the stock into warehouse using Good receipt. use the same account code with account code used in the good issue.

  • Picking non inventory items for delivery

    hello
    Can anyone help us with the following issue :
    - in our deliveries we have both inventory items and non inventory items (freight lines, software). Non inventory items have to appear in the same delivery document as the inventory items
    - we cannot create those non-inventory items in inventory as they cannot appear in any stocktake
    - the picklist doesn't accept to release non-inventory items for picking
    Any idea ?
    Fabrice

    Hi Fabrice,
    Just an idea. Will it work if you create the non-inventory items in your item master data as just a sales and purchasing item, but not an inventory item? That way you can include it along with your inventory items without having any impact in your stocks. One issue is that the non-inventory item will not be shown in your pick and pack, but you can print a copy of your sales order as a pick list.
