Automatic Physical Inventory Document creation

Hi Gurus,
In Customising for movement type, it can be specified whether a physical inventory document can be generated when that goods movement is posted. I am unable to understand why certain goods movement type require the physical inventory documents to be generated. For eg, movement type 653. Can someone explain the business requirement for a physical inventory document to be generated for this movement type?

if 653 movement is customized to generate an automatic inventory document, then this is a customizing done by you or your colleagues. SAP delivers only movement types 711 to 718 with this indicator activated.
go to OMJJ, put the cursor to this box and press F1, SAP explains very well the purpose for this settings.

Physical inventory document creation for split valuated material

Hi
We are doing stock count in our company. We are using split valuation for some of the materials. When I tried to create a PID for split valuated material which are not in stock, system issued a standard error message. What I understood from that error message, we can create a PID for split valuated materials which are in stock. Is it so? If so, then how can we count split valuated material?
Let me know if you need any info.
Thanks in advance..
Jeny...

Please refer to SAP note 30254 and it should help.
Symptom
If you create a physical inventory document for a material in a storage
location without existing storage location segment, error message M7006
is displayed: 'Material & (material number) & (plant) & (storage
location) does not exist'. Thus, a storage location segment is not
created automatically for this material.
The same also applies to the batch segment. The batch segment is also
not created automatically but, if a batch is specified for a material
when creating a physical inventory document, that is not yet created for
this material, error message M7042 is generated: 'Batch & & & & does not
exist'.
The same applies to the special stock segments which are also not
created automatically. Different error messages are generated here
depending on the special stock (see also Note 64448).
Additional key words
MI01, MI09, MI10, M7076, M7183, M7184, M7185, MARD, MCHA, MCHB, MSKA,
MKOL, MSKU, MSPR, MSLB
Cause and prerequisites
If no storage location segment or batch segment or special stock segment
exists to a material, this then means that a goods movement did never
occur before in the system to this material (batch) to this storage
location (special stock), that is that the material (batch) never had a
stock to this storage location (special stock) in the system before and
that it was never posted before on this segment. It is therefore not
possible to carry out a physical inventory for such a material (batch).
It is different, if a goods movement has already occurred to a material
(batch) to this segment and if only the present stock is zero. A
physical inventory is then necessary and also feasible for this material
(batch) since the different segments are not deleted automatically in
the moment in which the stock becomes zero.
Solution
For a material for that no storage location segment, batch segment or
special stock segment exists, it is not necessary, to carry out a
physical inventory on this storage location or for this batch or this
special stock. If, however, a quantity is physically found to such a
material, the corresponding segment must be created before the physical
inventory.
There are 3 options to create storage location data:
       - maintain the 'Storage' view in the material master for the
          material and storage location or
                                                                  Page 2
       - use the 'Enter storage locations' function in the material
          master or
       - post the first goods receipt (providing, the automatic
          creation of storage location data is permitted in the plant
          and for the movement type).
There are 2 options to create batch data}:
       - create the batches in the material master manually via
          function 'Create batch'.
       - post the first goods receipt for the batches to the respective
          material.
You can only post the various special stock segments via posting a goods
receipt. An exception is special stock 'K' (vendor consignment). You
must define a consignment price in the material master for this special
stock using the 'Create vendor consignment' function before a goods
receipt can be posted for this special stock.

Physical inventory document creation - MI31

Hi,
We are trying to create a physical inventory documents for certain number of materials, but some of them have only 0 stock and we don't want the list contains the materials with 0 stock. We would like to use MI31 so that we could generate phy. inventory documents. We try to use the check box 'only material w/o zero stock'. But once this is selected we always get the following error mesasge.
No materials for physical inventory found
Message no. M7 198
If we don't check this box, all the materials are selected including 0 stock materials. I checked OSS notes but could find some, but all are applied already. The selected materials don't have active phy. inventory document and have stock > 0 and these materials are valuated and not sales stocks.
If anyone has gone thru this issue, please let me know why it is happening.
Regards,
Sundar.

We cannot use MICN as it could be used to create document on the cycle count date only. We want to create the phy inv document whenever we want to count, so SAP recommended to use MI31 instead of MICN, Also, I checked the OSS notes, it says from SAP release 600, we are in release 46b and the program that they mentioned in the OSS notes is not available in our system.

Sundar.

Transaction code for mass creation of physical Inventory document

what is the transaction code for mass creation of physical Inventory document.

MI31 is the transaction to create hundreds of physical inventory documents for annual inventory at a time.
MICN can create several documents at a time for cycle count.
Just look in the menu of phyiscal inventory into the knot Sessions, there are even more e.g. for counting of own stock a customer and vendor location, for vendor stock at own location etc.

Creating Physical Inventory Documents using batch job in WM

We use transaction LX26 to create the physical inventory documents for the storage bins and the materials therein. and the new PI dates are proposed based on the cycle count indicators configured.
We want to automate the creation of physical inventory documents using a batch job. How can we achieve this?
I understand that the program RM07ICN1 generates PI documents only when materials are managed at IM levels and this does not work for WM. Is there any other standard program which can be set up in batch to create the PI documents for the materials at WM level? If there is something then please let me know details....
Thanks,

I entered following details,
WH no.
Storage Type
Inventory in Period (One year date range)
Inventory Count date (Today's date)
The output in spool shows me the following,
No of Records Passed ;Quant Information; InventoryProposal; Later / block; Bin Information; Empty bins; Inventory active
The list of storage bin, material, description & inventory date is also displayed.
Description has Scheudled and Overdue and the inventory date is some dates in next months.
It doesnt show anywhere that inventory document is generated.Please note that I had not selected the Activate Inventory List check box because I just want the system to auto create the inventory documents based on the logic of cycle count indicators.

How to populate list of materials in IM level Physical Inventory document?

Hi,
Suppose we have maintained 1000 materials in storage location ABCD. Now when I undertake physical inventory process at IM level, I have to create physical inventory document for this storage location ABCD and I will have to input all these 1000 materials manually for count process in the document.
Is there any other way whereby if I select the storage location, all the materials which are maintained in this location will get automatically populated in the physical inventory document.
Thanks in advance,
Sanjog

Hello,
SAP provides standard transaction MI31 to create Physical inventory documents. In the selection screen, you may enter your storage location to include all materials of that location.
Thanks,

Physical inventory document - for all A parts

Hi,
We are in the process of preparing our system for physical inventory count for all A parts (Cycle count indicator is A).
1. We ran MI24 to get all open physical inventory documents.(they are around 100).
2.Then we ran MI31 (didn't create batch input) for all A parts and the following are checked - 1. Material marked for deletion 2. only materials w/o zero stock 3. Unrestrcited use 4. Blocked 4. Include inventoried materials 5. Included inventoried batches. The variant for MI31 includes all A parts in the material selection and the required plant and SL are input. The output said, phy inventory documents could be created for 656 materials.
3. I wrote a query with MARC and MARD to get all A parts with unrestricted quantity > 0 for the above specified plant and SL. The list produced 882.
The above two counts are not matching.
I ran MI31 for some of the materials which are in the list materials as per point 3 but not in the above 2. But MI31 said, no physical inventory document can be created.
We want to make sure both the both numbers are equal (step 1 + 2 = step 3), to make sure all A parts will be counted. Can anyone explain why they are not matching? or Am I missing something?
OR any other ways to make sure all A parts will be counted. Thanks,
Regards,
Sundar.

Please refer my comment. It may be useful for you.
There are two ways if you want to carry out Physical Inventory count
1)Manual -
First check if there are no open PI document for a material using MI31.
Then carry out three transactions one after another MI01, MI04, MI07
2) Automatic
Maintain CC physical inv. indicator in material master i.e A, B, C
Before that ensure that you have maintained SPRO setting for A, B and C.
Ok Now check the planned count date in MARC table. Run a Z program to change the last count date
Now run MICN and schedule a job to create PI documents

Issue while posting physical inventory document

Hi Team,
While posting a physical inventory document system is giving error message saying that
HU exists at another point in the warehouse. Clear the HU first
Message no. /SCWM/GM751
here is my scenario: As per the system bin is empty, while doing physical inventory we found and counted one HU in the same bin. while posting the same physical inventory document we are getting the above error message. as per the system this HU available in some other bin.
could you please let us know is there any process which i am missing before posting the PI document.
while posting the PI document is it not possible automatically HU get move from one bin to other bin?
Thanks
Mastan

Hi kmastanrao
All above suggestion given need to check.
1. Check HU available in WH. In EWM monitor and HU details.
And after finding the status of HU and use as you need in your process.
second if needed I can provide HU table in EWM which can be used.

Physical Inventory Document for Materials in Transfer Storloc

Hi!
Just want to ask how can you capture materials that are in transit/transfer storage location (313 movt.) when creating Physical Inventory Documents? The material is somehow floating since 315 movt is still pending during PID creation.
Book value is zero for both sending and receiving storage locations.

Hi DB,
It is always practiced that, any movements of goods in and out of the storage location be blocked till the results are posted. This means only the Physically available stocks are put for phy inv counting process, thus transit stocks aren't accounted. You can resume the count after the GR of the transit stocks.
The very purpose of phy inv is to check the correctness of the physical stock keeping.

Hi
There is a process for creating the physical inventory document of your inventory. The lines are separately created for each product batch.
Probably the process will be scheduled and therefore it is executed and created the document.

Need help in creating a Physical Inventory Document with HUs given

Hi Gurus,
There is a problem I am facing while doing a ALV report.
I have created the report and there is a button which i have fixed which has to create Physical Inventory Document.
The scenario is:
I will select the records in the report based on the Vessel Bill Of Lading (VBOL) (related to Batch characteristics of a material) and then i need to pass those values to create Physical Inventory Document.
I got a functional module HUINV_DOCUMENT_CREATE which will create the document but I am not clear what are the values that I need to pass in this.
Or do anyone know how to create the Document by passing HU (Handling Units) and Plant & Storage Location?
Please help me in the same.
Thanks and Regards
Vipin Das V

Hi ,
Just Pass the table of Handling Unit .That's all.

Error while creating physical inventory document with zero count

Hi,
I am trying to create a physical inventory document for a material that has zero stock and that is not batch managed but I am geting an error as below.
"Item 001: No batches that can be included in phys. inv. exist.(Message no. M7701)"
This error occurs only for one or two materials.
I am able to create the physical inventory document for other materials which is also zero stock and there is no batch managed for the same.
Can anyone pls advice.
Regards,
Ramya

hi
if your material is split valuated, but not batch managed, then the split valuation type is shown in field batch number. And...it is a batch then.
To be able to do a zero count you have to have a batch record whose batch number is the valuation type.
If you never had stock in the storage location you want count, then you have to
1. extend the material to this storage location with MMSC
2. create the batch record with MSC1N for this storage location.

Not able to enter the count for physical inventory document in WM

Hi All,
I have created a Physical Inventory document using LX16 t-code (WM managed). Since the material and bin stock is zero and When I try to enter the count by ticking zero stock indicator using LI11 t-code, I am not able to save the document and system throws error "Finding empty Quants provided for" and message number is L4058.
Please let me know how to resolve this.
Regards
Krishnamurthy

Yes your understanding is correct but only thing I have not entered qty in the count field rather I set only zero stock indicator.
My requirement is " In Inventory (MMBE) stock of a material shows around "3000" qty. But In WM stock is "zero" and physically also "zero". so in IM also stock should be reduced to "Zero". So I tried of creating PI document in WM and then when I try to enter the count, I faced the menioned problem.

Inventory Management- Printing Physical Inventory Document using Smart Form

Scenario: Inventory Management- Printing Physical Inventory Document using Smart Forms
I could found out that there is no standard smart form linked to Transaction MI21(Program-RM07IDRU). There is a sapscript ((INVNET) assigned to this transaction, but my requirement is to assign customized smartform to this transaction.If it is not possible to assign smart form to pgm then is it possible to through enhancement.If yes then let me know the enhancement as there are lot of enhancement in the pgm RM07IDRU.
If you have any solution then kindly mentioned it.
Looking forward for kind help.

Check out with your SD guy if the items in billing doc have correct pricing conditions triggered.
From the description it looks like some customizing issue.
Otherwise revert back with the logic how are you trying to get the net value of item.
