ABC analysis and MC40

hi-
Environment : ECC6.0
We use the standard MIBC-ABC analysis which changes the ABCD indicators based on the turnover or u can say consumption.
Scenario:
We have low cost value components (say Bolts) but have a high usage/consumption. So based on ABC indicators, they come up for counting very ofter. We dont want  to count them every month due to their low value but would like to make them available in standard SAP ABC analysis.
And NO, we dont want to fix the CC indicators for these bolts.
My question as per following?
(1) How can i achieve a situation that when the ABC analysis runs and provides a report that Bolts are A ( high consumption indicator-monthly), i am able to change the CC indicators subsequently for the Bolts to D ( once a year) so that i dont do the inventory count for them. ( I dont want to use MM17)
(2) Can i run MIBC analysis and then execute MC 40 for bolts (if this T-code will assist me since i dont know much about this T-code)?
(3) Can i just run MC40 or is there another T-code which will assist me?
(4) Is there a process in Standard SAP which will be enble me to achieve my requriement.
Looking for any information you all can share.
Thanks

Thanks for the response.
MICN is the only one that can update the indicator used for cycle counting.
Once MICN updates the Cycle count indicators, can i then go into MC40 or similar T-code, select the range of materials or material types for the BOLTS in the input screen and make a change on the CC indicators manually to D ( annual count)?
However, pretty often the cycle count indicators are precalculated by MICN based on consumption, but then individual items are changed to get a different indicator for specific reasons.
You may have a low value item, which is very important for your processes.
Based on consumption values it may get indicator C, but if you have differences on that item then it is a critical factor for your business, hence you want count it more often, thus you would manually change it to B or even A. (which can be done directly from the MICN report)
My requirement is : I have low value materials in high qty which show in Monthly inventory count due to high consumption. This is my target group to change the CC indicatos to C or D.
When you indicate i can manually change in MICN report, does it mean that i need to run MICN report twice, first to get the actual ABC analysis and then second time, select the materials (BOLT), generate a report and change the CC indicators.
I do see an option to input materials in the input screen of MICN but i dont see the option to input or provide the required CC indicators as a manual input.
If you could provide more information on the sequence of steps, it is appreciated.
Appreciate your support.

  • ABC Analysis TCode:MC40

    Is there any way to ignore the Consignment Material (K) while running the ABC Analysis using T-Code MC40 ???
    Your response is highly apperciated.

    Dear,
    Try this to get all stock material list using transaction MB52. In special stock select "Not equal to K (Consignment stock). This will gives you a report of stock materials exists in plant and storage location - excluding consignment.
    Using transaction MC40 insert this excluded list and run the ABC analysis.
    I found this only solution for this.

  • ABC analysis and cyclic inventory

    What is the relAtion between ABC indicators and CC indicators?Why do we need to run ABC analysis for cyclic inventory?Cant we randomly assign the CC indicators in MM02?

    Please see the below note
    What is A, B, C and D Indicator for a material for cyclic count?
    All the material may not be important for cyclic count purpose, it may be required to count
    some items frequently and some items rarely.
    A cyclic count indicator A or B or C or D is allocated to material in the material master
    based on either consumption value (consumption X rate) or forecast value
    (forecast quantity X rate).
    The item with more consumption value are classified as A, and with minimum as D.
    u201CAu201D indicator items will be counted frequently (say every month), D will be less frequently
    (say every 6 months or every one year). Daily a number of items will be taken for count, some
    may be with A indicator, some with B and so on.
    Mark all materials that are to be included in cycle counting with a cycle counting indicator
    in the material master record (storage data). The cycle counting indicator is used to group
    the materials together into various cycle counting categories (for example, A, B, C, and D).
    There is an option in SAP to have a fixed indicator for a material say A for a material which
    does not have a high consumption value but it is important to count it every month, then the
    material can be marked as A indicator in material master with indicator u201Cfixedu201D
    In Customizing OMCO, for Inventory Management, you can define for each category the time
    intervals at which the materials are to be counted.
    Fields : No. of phys. inventories per fiscal year for cycle counting
    For e.g. A - 12, B - 6, C - 3, D - 1
    Specifies how often during the fiscal year a physical inventory is to be carried out for a
    material subject to cycle counting.
    The system uses this specification to convert the count interval into workdays.
    Fields : Physical inventory interval (in workdays) for cycle counting
    For e.g. A = 12 times per year and your Total Factory Calendar days = 300
    The interval will be calculated as 300 / 12 = 25 days
    Specifies after how many workdays following the last inventory count another physical
    inventory has to be carried out for a given material.
    The count interval is determined automatically on the basis of the number of physical
    inventories specified for the fiscal year.
    Fields : Float time (in workdays) for cycle counting
    For e.g. A - 10, B - 20, C - 30, D - 0
    Indicates the number of workdays by which the planned count date may vary from the current
    date.
    For examples :-
    For the plant, the float time is five days.
    A physical inventory has been planned for a material belonging to category C for June, 1.
    On expiration of the float time (after June, 6), the physical inventory has not yet been
    carried out.
    Irrespective of the category, the material is parked for the next cycle counting run.
    Fields :- Percentage of performance measure for cycle counting ind.
    Specifies the percentage allocation of the materials to the individual cycle counting
    categories.
    The percentage value is used for automatic assignment of the cycle counting indicator.
    For example :-
    In the given plant, 200 materials are subject to the cycle counting physical inventory
    procedure.
    In Customizing for Inventory Management, the following percentage allocation has been defined
    for the plant:
    A materials: 50%
    B materials: 25%
    C materials: 15%
    D materials: 10%
                100%
    In the cycle counting analysis, the materials are sorted by consumption. After completion
    of the analysis, the cycle counting indicator is assigned as follows:
    The first 3 materials (sorted in descending order according to consumption) represent 50% of
    the consumption and have the indicator A.
    The next 12 materials represent 25% of the consumption and have the indicator B.
    The next 49 materials represent 15% of the consumption and have the indicator C.
    The remaining 136 materials represent the rest (10%) of the consumption and have the
    indicator D.
    Marking Materials for Cycle Counting
    This step is only required if you perform cycle counting for the first time or if you want
    to update the cycle counting indicators.
    In the material master record (storage data), maintain the cycle counting indicator for all
    the materials that are to be included in cycle counting.
    You can set the indicator in one of the following two ways:
    1. manually in the material master record. To do this, choose
       Material -> Change from the Material Master menu.
    2. automatically using ABC analysis To do this, choose
       Special procedures -> Cycle counting -> Set CC indicator from the Physical Inventory menu.

  • ABC analysis & cycle counting

    Dear Gurus,
                             I am having doubt regarding ABC ananlysis & Cycle counting.
    1. What is ABC analysis and how it can be used in SAP MM ?
    2. What is cycle counting? Is there any relation b/w cycle counting and ABC analysis? If so kindly explain.
    Kindly explain in detail. Thank you.

    Cycle Counting is periodic counting e.g. every 2 months, every 6 months etc. etc.  Typically you would not want to count every material every 2 months so you carry out an 'ABC analysis' in order to categorise your materials.  You set an ABC indicator against materials and this allows you to, for example, count your more valuable materials more often.
    For example your set up could be:
    'A' = most valuable
    'C' = least valuable
    Count:
    'A' materials every 2 months
    'B' materials every 6 months
    'C' materials every 12 months.

  • ABC Analysis from transaction MC40 - Qty field

    Hi All,
    I recently got to know about MC40 and i dont understand some areas of it.
    After executing MC40, i will get the list of materials sorted already for A, B , and C.
    However, when i click on double line, it then shows me Qty field as well. Now when i look at this quantity field, i dont understand where system is getting it or how!
    When i check MB51, the quantity system proposed does not equal to the total consumption, total receipt, or the difference between both.
    I also noticed that if i increase the number of days for analysis, the quantity increases.
    Please can somebody tell me the formula SAP is using to get the Quantity here.
    Much appreciated.

    Hi,
    Im still not getting a clear picture.
    From that forum post, it is just explaining which field is related to MIBC (CC phys inv ind) and MC40 (ABC Indicator).
    What im wondering is, now in MC40, i inserted a whole bunch of materials and also the number of days.
    When i check the results in double line, the quantity that SAP proposes is very weird. I cannot seem to find it anywhere. I checked previous consumption, totaled it up and it still does not come to that figure.
    Someone please explain to me how SAP is calculating the Quantity field in MC40 output.

  • MC40 calculation of ABC analysis / part

    Experts,
    can you explain the logic behind a Usage.Based ABC Analysis MC40 . In case I choose Usage value (in %).
    A= 70
    B= 20
    C= 10
    Thanks in advance
    Jörg

    Hi Jorg,
    It's simple. The system will rank all the materials according to the consumption (usage) value (quantity*price). Then those materials with the highest value (70%) will be ranked A, and so on.

  • ABC Analysis of the materials (MC40)

    Hi,
    What is the meaning of analysis strategy in the report MC40 (Usage based ABC analysis).
    Regards,

    Hi Rajan,
    The report checks for the past usage of the material & based on this will compute the ABC curve. This analysis is normally done when you do not forsee much changes in the consumption pattern, then this report is helpful, as the classification will have a long term meaning.
    But if the conumption pattern is changing or going to change in the future, then it is better to run MC41, where-in the future needs are considered & this will give you a better classification of components.
    Eg: Mtl A which had no consumption or very little in the past might end up as C when you run MC40, but the reality is, this part will be in great need in the future & so MC41 makes better approach.
    Hope the above was helpful.
    Regards,

  • ABC analysis

    Hi,
    for the client we have customized the ABC analysis report which shoes the material details and its status for the last 5 years,with last purchase and sales date.
    Some materials are not been caught in this report. What may be the reason for this?.
    Regards

    the ABC indicator in material master should be the result of the analysis, but not a precondition.
    MC40 is a usage based analysis.
    do you have consumpion movements in MB51 for that material?
    Is it a material like any others that show up in your report? or is it something special like non-valuated, or consignment or PIPElline, or always procured to a project...?
    What tables are  the basis for your report?

  • ABC Analysis report

    Hii all,
          i am using MC40 and MIBC for  ABC Analysis report.
    few materials, we are using very frequently, even in report its showing ZERO as a total value n total stock value.
    please suggest me, why this report is coming wrong for few materials.
    Thanks
    nisha

    I think you are mixing a couple things here and loosing the focus for your initial problem,
    OMJJ settings of movement types are general settings. I really wonder why you have different values there in standard movements 101 and 201 than  the the predefined values given by SAP. I never had to change that in the systems I have worked with.
    a 101 is by design a planned movement (unplanned receipts are made with 501) hence the consumption control has a G  to control the consumption update (which a tab in additional data of material master). G means always update planned consumption.
    But this is only done if the movement is made agains an order with account assignment, otherwise it will post to stock (which is not a consumption)
    The second consumption indicator in OMJJ  folder "update control" defines to which consumption account the posting is made. the 101 movement takes the decision from the account assignment category, hence you find an indicator for each accounting type there.
    a 201 movement is by design a consumption movement. the general consumption is set to R, which decides that it posts to planned consumption in case you reference a reservation, or to unplanned consumption in all other cases.
    you always consume from stock  and you enter manually account and cost center, so there is no need to for a consumption by account assignment. (which you dont have in case of 201, as you dont do a 201 in reference to a purchase order)
    you did nowhere explain the movements that you had for the materials that did not show up in the ABC analysis.
    you did not explain what selection you made, by default it looks just at the last 90 days. Are  you certain that you had consumption postings in MB51 in that period?

  • Can somebody explain how ABC analysis is done ?

    Hi Experts,
                         Can somebody explain how ABC analysis is done . If I use MC40 transaction there I have 4option but I can use either one of those . For second option , Usage value as number we can directly specify cost and accordingly system will classify materials In A, B and C category .
    I have question on 1st 3 rd and 4 th option . How system will classify materials if These option is used .
    Please explain with examples .
    Points will be rewarded .
    Thanks in advance !
    Neal

    Hi Sir ,
                     Thanks again , I would explain what I have understood .
    MC 40 . Option selected is Usage value with value put are 70 , 20 , and 10 .
    Suppose I have 3 mat in plant
                  Stock         Value
    1) X        100 kg      1000   ( for 1 kg from MM)
    2) Y          20 PC      2300 
    3) Z          30  lt      40000
    Now how would system classify these items ? Will it consider price or only consumption /qty ? or both ?
    Please explain with the same figures . Again the 90 days period you said , is it taken automatically ? because on this T code there is no option for entering time period .

  • ABC-analysis in Open Items report

    Good day, dear experts!
    I got a task from my chief to find out how to use menu path "Go to - ABC analysis" in Open Items report FBL1N/FBL5N.
    Everything I've found is a message "ABC analysis not possible here", Message no. 0K076, and old-old note for this message 414907.
    Do someone use ABC-analysis for open items?
    I think it's useless, but maybe I don't understand something...
    Irina

    Hi,
    Nope, it is useful.
    Execute FBL1N and select line items (Edit > Select All).
    Then click on any amount column.
    Then click on Goto > ABC Analysis
    You will get the options to classify the line items in the A, B, C categories based on the % creteria etc. on that screen.

  • What does the field Inconsistent mean for ABC Analysis for Cycle Counting report

    What does column "Inconsistent" mean for report ABC Analysis for Cycle Counting (T-code MIBC)?  The reason I'm asking is because I see TotalStock values greater than 0, but the Accounting 1 view for Material Master and MMBE both show zero stock.  I do not understand why TotalStock in the report does not show zero.  Can anyone explain how this can happen?
    Note: the report is run for consumption/usage date range.
    Thank you,
    Doug

    Hi,
       MBEW table and MMBE transaction will show the current stock. When you run MIBC report for consumption, the system considers the consumption for the date range given (from MVER table), which may not be equal to the current stock. Refer the KBA:  1817237 - Stock quantities and stock values in MIBC  which explains the system design.
