Inventory Management: Stock reservation

Hi Experts,
Your expertise in MM is greatly appreciated.
Scenario: Stock reservation
We have to reserve a portion of inventory for CRM opportunities that might turn into sales orders. If we have 200EA in Unrestricted, 80EA is supposed to be reserved for CRM opportunities and other sales orders cannot use these stock. If the CRM opportunities do not turn into sales orders by the 15th of the month, we release the 80EA on  15th so they can be allocated to other sales orders.
These 80EA might be physically created already or they can be just for information telling the sales team that we have 80 EA being created. The main idea is that they are reserved for CRM opportunities only and they should not be allocated to other sales order during SO creation, rescheduling, backorder process before the 15th of the month.
Is there a way that we can do this in SAP? We only have MM and SD implemented in this phase. I looked at options, but please feel free to correct them if them seem to not be possible for this scenario.
Created a Reservation document with movement type 522 for the 80EA.  This decreased the total Unrestricted (200-80= 120). During SO creation, the 80EA reserved is not getting allocated in the orders. However, when I run rescheduling, the 80EA are getting allocated for SO with delivery dates before the 15th of the month. The aim is to have them ‘reserved’ until the 15th of the month.
I created a transfer posting (MIGO)  from Unrestricted to Blocked using movement type 344. The 80EA were turned into blocked stock in MMBE and this decreased the total unrestricted. The blocked stock were not allocated in the SO, rescheduling, and backorder processing. To release the stock back to unrestricted by the 15th, I use movement type 343 in MB1B.   Would there be a way to automatically create the transfer posting every time we have to reserve inventory for CRM and also automatically release them back to unrestricted every 15th of the month?
Thank you!

you could write an ABAP that calls the BAPI BAPI_GOODSMOVEMENT_CREATE
and could schedule this ABAP to run on the 15th

  • Inventory Management - Stock Ageing

    Hello,
    I'm new to Inventory Management in BI and I was trying to create a Cube to check the stock ageing.
    I follow the needed initialization for the 2LIS_03_BF, 2LIS_03_BX and also UM. The load was successful executed however I can't see any data using the ListCube.
    I looked into the fact table and the data is there but I can't see it and I don't have it available for reporting.
    Can you help me?
    thanks

  • Sales Order Management - Stock reservation

    Need some help on the solution for a sales order management situvation for a hardline retailer
    A hardline retailer takes direct orders for customer at the store and the stock is delivered to the customer from the warehouse.
    They have one central warehouse all stores check for inventory at the warehouse before creating the sales order.
    Once the stock availbility is checked , the sales associate at the store accepts the order and takes acceptance on the delivery dates and process the payment (100% advance) in the POS and then creates a sales order in IS retail
    Problem: The process post the inventory check step takes 20 min and often there are situvations where the stock is reserved for some other store . The stores often have unfulfilled orders despite checking inventory before sales order system.
    Question : How can this be handled , is there any way store can block the stock required during which the sales process is completed.

    Hi Madhav,
    spontaneously, I have the following idea:
    You could create a different storage location in the DC/Warehouse (Storage location "Sales Orders).
    When you make the availability check, you check general stock. If there is stock and the stores wants to use this, you could create a transfer posting from general stock to sales orders stock.
    So, the stock is no longer available for other stores which look at the general stock.
    After that, you can proceed sales order processing. The delivery process should use the sales order storage location, which can be customized.

  • Combined Report for Purchasing and Inventory Management.

    Hi All,
    Is there any standard SAP Report available where I can get all the information related to Purchasing and Inventory Management in one.
    Like Material,Purchasing details of the material (vendor, price etc ) and Inventory Management (Stock qty and value etc.).

    I don't know any. We have one Z or if you want you can make a simple query.

  • Vendor Consignment stock or vendor managed stock

    Dear All,
    My client wants to manage vendor consignment stock.
    Vendor will be given a area and vendor will keep the stock in his area. Based on the plan he will supply the stock.
    the GR for rawmaterials will be made on the consumption report given by the production person. This activity will happen next day only. i will do the GR only to the quantity consumed.
    for example if i consumed 100 qty, i will do GR only for 100 and vendor will issue invoice for 100. But when the vendor issue the stock, he will raise a excise invoice based on which i have to take excise credit. I want to know how to do the same.
    secondly, i take credit for 100 qty, but actual consumption is 95 only, how do i reverse the 5 only excise invoice.
    regards
    ranga

    No, it is possible to sell from vendor consignment stock directly and I have done it in ECC 6.0 (not IS-retail).
    - Pls refer the note 607604.
    - Establish the 'stock determination rule' in MM -> Inventory Management -> Stock Determination.
    - You need to assign it to the material (MRP3 view) or assign it to item-ategory.
    - DONOT mark the special stock indicator in item-category used in SD (e.g. TAN) with 'K'..I did this mistake and wasted some time. If you do, it will ask you to populate the Vendor field in the Delivery which is not available and you may get stuck up because of that.
    This should make it work.
    Pls award points if you find this information useful.

  • Stock Valuation - Inventory Management Cube

    Dear Sap Gurus,
    We have implemented the Inventory Management Cube in BW.
    Quantities are correct, but we have difference on the stock valuation.
    For some material stock value are correct, for some other they are not correct.
    A saw a lot of OSS notes and how to on this subject, I am trying to solve this issue using these documents, but based on your experience could you explain me how you solved this issue ????
    Thanks,

    Hi
    Did you follow the correct steps?
    Initialisation of BX data in the first step.(Loading of Opening Stock)
    Then The request in which the opening stock was loaded must always be
    compressed with a marker update
    Init load of BF And UM in the second step
    The request in which the historical material documents were contained
    must always be compressed without a marker update and
    Successive delta uploads must always be compressed with marker
    updates
    Check this whether you have done this or not.
    Because of missing the steps here also would give you wrong values,
    Regards
    Ram

  • Inventory Management: Valuated Stock Value

    Hello Experts -
    We're using inventory management. We're just bringing in 2lis_03_bf which is the material movements and the standard price datasource.
    The plant valuated stock quantity and the valuated stock value are fine. The SLOC valuated stock quantity is fine. We're using the non-cumulative key figures for the valuated stock quantity and the valuated stock value. The SLOC valuated stock value isn't correct. So I just created a calculated key figure where I'm multiplying the quantity with the standard price.
    This works fine but when I look at the plant level and use this CKF, the aggregation threw me off. So I changed the aggregation on CKF at the Bex level.
    This works fine in dev and qa where I don't have too much of data. But as soon as I'm in in production, the query times out and gives me an error saying I reached the buffer limit.
    I was thinking of calculating the valuated stock value at the ETL layer but now I'm thinking that if I do that and the price of a material changes, I'll again have the same problem. I can't re-load every time a material price changes.
    Can someone please help me with this scenario?
    Thanks!

    do not offer points, it is against the rules

    Hi Syed,
    Deriving values by multipling with price also not correct. results will not match with R/3.
    Value Calculation
    In principle, values are updated with Plant, Material, and Stock Category only. Quantities are updated with these characteristics, as well as with Storage Location, Batch Number, and Stock Characteristic
    Check SAP Note 589024: Evaluations in BW with the Characteristics Storage Location and Stck Char.).
    Hope it Helps

  • Consignment Stock for Inventory Management

    Posting as a new thread...
    I have installed and loaded the Inventory Management Cube 0IC_03 in our development and quality systems.  During testing we have found just one problem with Consignment Stock.  The Stock Initialization (2LIS_03_BX) does not bring in an initial quantity (BWMNG) for any material flagged as a Consignment Stock (Stock Category = K, field BSTTYP). 
    My question - is there a good reason for this or is this a problem?  It causes a problem with reporting, because balances are now off.  Do I need to change how reporting is done for Consignment?
    It seems to me that the BX extractor should be picking up the initial balance.  I am trying to debug the code, but am getting a headache!
    Any help would be appreciated!
    Yes, I have reviewed the "How To..." documentation, but don't see anything regarding consignment stock.
    We are at BW 3.0b Support Pack 25.
    Lisa.

    Thanks, Ken.   I don't know that this note actually helped me, but I did another review of OSS notes.  We have applied 3 of them (726485, 756151, 762219) and our consignment issue has been resolved.
    Thanks for pointing me back in the right direction!

  • Inventory Management: Blocked stock coming up in OnHand

    Hello Experts -
    We've implemented 2LIS_03_BF for our inventory management reports.
    However, the OnHand quantity is also picking up Blocked quantity. I used the same code as given by SAP.
    For a material, the OnHand quantity is 13 in our reports when there's nothing under Unrestricted in MMBE. But there are 13 under Blocked.
    I looked at the code and the way the code is, it would pick up the Blocked quantity also.
    How do I resolve this issue?
    Thanks,
    Syed

    Hi,
    Which key figure are you using to get Stock on Hand?
    To get stock on hand we have to use 0TOTALSTCK - Quantity Total Stock and 0BLOCKEDSTK is for blocked stock
    These 2 are non-cumulative key figure.In update rules logic will be differentiated based on Stock type and stock category. For Blocked stock , stock type should be 'D' and stock category NA 'KR'.
    Please check update rules of BF.
    hope it helps...

  • Inventory Management : Total stock turnover

    Hello,
           Can anyone tell me the logic for calculating Total Stock turnover & the Average quantity of total stock in an Inventory Management scenario.
    Thanks & Regards
    Indraneel

    Hi
    1. Warehouse Inventory Turnover of Total Stock  Specifies how often average total stock has been consumed. (Total consumption quantity / Total stock- average quantity)
    2. Average Total Stock Warehouse Inventory Turnover Specifies how often average total stock has been consumed based upon the average total usage. (Average total consumption quantity / Total stock u2013 average quantity)
    refer this if u still have queries

  • Can i transfer stock with transfer order in Inventory management?

    Can i transfer stock with transfer order in Inventory management between two storage locations in the same plant?

    I hope you are referring a transfer order and the transfer between two storage locations connected to the same warehouse, and just not doing movement at IM level with a transfer order.
    But, if you are referring to making a bin-bin transfer within the warehosue and you want to influence the storage location to storage location automatically, yes, you can do this. You should use 'storage location control' configuration under WM-IM interface to drive this. Essentially, you need to maintain the warehouse, destiantion storage type, plant, destination storage location and movement type 311. When you perform the transfer order confirmation to move inventory from a storage type (inventory is under source storage location) to the destination storage type (per the configuration setting) there will be an automatic transfer posting made to move inventory at IM level from source to desintation storage location.

  • Manage stock qty. in Storage bin for Inventory management

    HI all,
    We are implemented Inventory Management (display stock of material for storage location).
    I want to know is there any method in Inventory Managment to Manage stock of specific material in bin also.
    Means User exactly should know the stock of specific material is located in Storage Bin.
    Please suggest me the hole process or any customization
    Regards,
    Vraj

    Hi V raj,
    I don't know whether i understood your question well. But i will answer in the way i understood.
    To serve your requirement you need to have a Warehouse management, means to have a smooth warehouse bin wise storage.
    But some companies are not willing to implement WM and they are finding a way with batch classification. They maintain batches for material and storage bin are maintain in a batch classification. So you can view it in MMBE also by going into the batch classification of the relevant batch.
    And if you want to have a detail report you can develop a simple report or a query to retrieve batch classification data.
    For batch classification activation:
    1. Material must maintain "Batch management" tick in Purchasing and storage plant data views
    2. Create a seperate class for this using CL02
    3  Create batch characteristic using CT04 (this is to maintain Storage Bin)
    4. Add classification view to each material and the relevant batch class.
    5. When you are doing the GR use "Batch" tab and "Classification" button to maintain relevant Storage bin data. (To update mass scale you can create a "Z" report getting help of a developer in your company)
    6. Now each batch you are maintained your storage bin view it trough MMBE (But only one batch classification) or in-house developed report ("Z") program
    Thanks & BR

  • Inventory Management, process stock in Quality.

    Hi,
    I am working in WM making the inventory process however I receipt an error when I trying to execute the LI20. The transaction gives this error:
    LI20:  No destination storage bin to be found in storage type 999
    This error appear when there are a material in quality stock. After release the sock by QA11, it is possible to make the movement to storage type 999. My question is if is it possible to make the inventory for stock in quality. I think it is not possible to move the stock when it is in Quality.
    Thank you and best regards.

    Hi,
    Thank you for the replay.
    I have already created the interim storage type 999, In fact the process works correctly after make the usage decision by QA11. My question is if it is possible make movements in WM for inventory like this when one of the materials in the storage type is in quality stock. Always give this error.
    Thank you and best regards.
