Automatic physical inventory

Hi...
I have a requirement to carry out physical inventory every month, the system should inform you that the physical inventroy for this materail is due.
Does SAP provides any such functionality in physical inventory..

Hi,
Try with ABC Analysis for Cycle Counting (Physical Inventory) and follow the link

  • 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 Movement Block not Rest at Storage Location Level

    Hi,
    We are facing a typical problem in our Production System and the issue is as follows:
    1. We have created a Physical Inventory Document for a material with Freeze Book Inventory and Posting Block indicators.
    2. We completed the count and entered the same with reference to the PI Document.
    3. We reconciled and posted the differences in the system.
    4. We still find that in Material Master the Physical Inventory block for material movements was not reset automatically at the Storage Location stock view.
    Please help us urgently as all our Goods movements for this material are held up.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    I am able to see 4 PIDs in MI22 for my material.
    2 docs pertaining to the latest Annual Physical Inventory in 2010.
    These documents are for the same material in the same plant but for different Storage Locations. Out of which when i see the Material Master - Storage Location view, i see that the Physical Inventory Block "X" is set for one of the Storage Locations.
    The PID for the Storage Location with this Physical Inventory Block for Movements indicator, is already settled (Count done and no differences in physical and book stock in this storage location).
    The problem persists and i need to remove the posting block which was not reset.

  • Material blocked due to a physical inventory

    Hello,
    I have an issue.
    I have done a stock take via MI01, MI21, MI04 and finally MI20!
    When I afterwards create a delivery with one of that part that was counted it gives me an error message saying:
    M7100 - Material xxx blocked due to a physical inventory
    When I look into the inventory document it says: Counted, adjusted.
    While debugging I found out that the process somewhere checks MARD-SPERR which is X for that part and therefore outputs messsage M7100!   But X only indicates that posting block was set while physical inventory was done!
    Does someone have an idea? Is there maybe a report to verify and correct inventory status?
    Hope someone can help, cause I've counted a hundreds of parts which are now blocked.
    Thanks for your reply.
    Wolfgang

    Hello Wolfgang,
    If you enter the differences for your physical inventory documents against those materials, then the posting block check shall automatically go off and you can do the material movements.
    First, you need to check whether you posted the differences for the respective physical inventory document.
    If not you need to post the difference first as it may lead to data inconsistencies.
    To remove the posting block go to MI02, enter the physical inventory document number and year, now go to Header and untick the posting block check box.
    Posting block indicator
    The indicator remains in the physical document header even if the stock is unblocked through the posting of inventory differences. It then only indicates that a posting block was set for the documents.
    The blocking indicator can be set in one of two ways:
    Directly upon entry of the physical inventory document (if the count is to take place immediately)
    Shortly before the count (if the count is to take place later)
    You can set the indicator by choosing Physical inventory document -> Change in the header data of the physical inventory document or via batch input.
    Now you can create delivery for the materials.

  • 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

  • Reversal of the Physical Inventory Postings

    Dear All,
    I hv posted the qty difference thru' MI07 in period 02' 09. Now Finance says that this is required to be posted in 01' 09. I tried reversing the PI docs thru MI02 but the system didn't permit me as the difference is already posted and the way out is doing physical inventory again. But due to the cycle count settings, I am not able to carry out the Physical Inv again.
    Pls advise asap.
    Thnx & Rgds,

    Hi
    I dont think you can reverse material document (movement type 701.702) posted through physical inventory as it is automatically created and you cannot create new document and post through MI10 because of cycle counting settings. First change the physical counting settings if possible and then proceed for recount & postings (MI10). Otherwise give a try creating new document through MI31 by selecting materials subj to ph.counting and batches subj to ph.counting.
    Thanks

  • Type of Physical Inventory

    Dear All,
                how many type of Physical Inventory we can do in SAP.Please explain in detials & also Steps(T-code).
    Regards
    Pavan

    Hi,
    Physical Inventory Locate the document in its SAP Library structure
    Purpose
    This component allows you to carry out a physical inventory of your company’s warehouse stocks for balance sheet purposes. Various procedures can be implemented for this.
    Scope of Functions
    In the SAP system, a physical inventory can be carried out both for a company’s own stock and for special stocks. Inventory for a company’s stock and for special stocks (such as consignment stock at customer, external consignment stock from vendor, or returnable packaging) must be taken separately (in different physical inventory documents), however.
    Note that the blocked stock returns and the stock in transfer cannot be inventoried. If these stocks are still to be counted in a physical inventory, you must transfer post these stocks to other stocks capable of inclusion in a physical inventory.
    The stock in a warehouse can be divided into stock types. In the standard system, a physical inventory can be carried out for the following stock types:
    ·        Unrestricted-use stock in the warehouse
    ·        Quality inspection stock
    ·        Blocked stock
    Note
    If batch status management is active, the first stock type covers both unrestricted-use stock and restricted-use stock.
    Inventory of all stock types mentioned can be taken in a single transaction. For the materials to be inventoried, one item is created in the physical inventory document for every stock type.
    Physical inventory takes place at storage location level. A separate physical inventory document is created for every storage location.
    If a material does not exist in a storage location, this means that no goods movement has ever taken place for the material in the storage location. The material, therefore, has never had any stock in this storage location. The material does not exist at stock management level in the storage location. It is therefore not possible to carry out a physical inventory for the material in this storage location.
    This is not to be confused with a material for which a goods movement has taken place and for which the stock balance is currently zero. A physical inventory must be carried out in this case, since storage location data is not deleted when the stock balance is zero.
    Physical Inventory Procedures
    The SAP System supports the following physical inventory procedures:
    ·        Periodic inventory
    ·        Continuous inventory
    ·        Cycle counting
    ·        Inventory sampling
    Periodic Physical Inventory
    In a periodic inventory, all stocks of the company are physically counted on the balance sheet key date. In this case, every material must be counted. During counting, the entire warehouse must be blocked for material movements.
    Continuous Physical Inventory
    In the continuous physical inventory procedure, stocks are counted continuously during the entire fiscal year. In this case, it is important to ensure that every material is physically counted at least once during the year.
    Cycle Counting
    Cycle counting is a method of physical inventory where inventory is counted at regular intervals within a fiscal year. These intervals (or cycles) depend on the cycle counting indicator set for the materials.
    The Cycle Counting Method of Physical Inventory allows fast-moving items to be counted more frequently than slow-moving items.
    Inventory Sampling
    In Structure link MM – Inventory Sampling, randomly selected stocks of the company are physically counted on the balance sheet key date. If the variances between the result of the count and the book inventory balance are small enough, it is presumed that the book inventory balances for the other stocks are correct.
    Updating the Logistics Information System (LIS)
    The physical inventory is connected to the Logistics Information System (LIS). When inventory differences are updated in the LIS, they are displayed both on a quantity and on a value basis. The physical inventory items are aggregated at inventory number level, plant level, storage location level, and material level. If you need more detailed information on the inventory differences in the LIS, you can access the list of inventory differences directly from the LIS and continue the analysis at item level.
    Restrictions
    The posting of physical inventory differences is subject to certain time constraints:
    ·        The posting period is automatically set during counting. Therefore, the inventory difference must be posted to the same period or - if postings to the previous period are allowed - in the following period.
    ·        The fiscal year is set by specifying a planned count date when creating a physical inventory document. All subsequent postings to this document must take place in this fiscal year and/or in the first period of the following fiscal year, if postings to the previous period are allowed.

  • Physical Inventory Post difference to a diff Cost Center

    HI
       I am posting a Physical inventory difference using MI07
    Based on the plant i want to post to different Cost Center, is there a way that i can manually provide a cost center in MI07
    presently it goes and pulls it from OKB9(default Value), My situation is i have 10 plants For each plant it needs to post to different cost based on the plant
    Thanks

    OSS note 13423 says:
    No account assignment can be entered when posting inventory
    discrepancies.
    Cause and prerequisites
    This function is not implemented.
    Solution
    In Customizing an account assignment can be made for every inventory
    adjustment account. To do this the inventory adjustment account must
    first be defined as a cost element (Transaction KA01 / KA06):
    Accounting -> Controlling -> Cost centers -> Master data -> Cost element
    -> Create primary / secondary. Then an account assignment can be made
    for the cost element (Transaction OKB9):
    Tools -> Customizing -> Setup menu -> Accounting -> Controlling -> Cost
    centers -> Actual postings -> Automatic account assignment.
    If this account assignment is implemented every posting to the
    particular inventory adjustment account will automatically receive the
    appropriate account assignment.

    Dear All,
    I would like to know how the Physical Inventory Blocking Indicator is updated in the material master recored storage location stock Tab....
    Is there any setting in customizing for this as its not getting updated when I create a Physical Inventory document... ?

    the indiactor is not getting updated at all, If I do it manually by table maintainance the posting block works fine....
    but need a programme name thru which this field is updated. Can anyone tell me where  which programme MARD-SPERR field is being used.
    I dont have access to any standard system where this indicator is updated automatically
    Thanks in advance---

  • Select cost center for physical inventory difference posting

    Hello,
    While posting physical inventory differences (transactions MI07 or MI10) the choice of cost center is not offered. A default cost center is used by the system.
    Is there a way to choose the cost center for inventory difference postings? This is useful considering we have several inventories managed by several business units with different cost centers.
    Kind regards,

  • Physical Inventory Freezed -  Urgent Customer Order

    Hi Gurus,
    While performing physical Inventory, all my Org/Sub Inventory has been freezed.
    Same time my regular, important export customer requested sales order for few items, needs to ship items urgently?
    How to perform transactions in the system, if Org is freezed.
    I have advised the client to do offline transaction and perform the transaction once Org is unfreeze but client has to export items to other country, all documents BOL, Commercial invoice all are compulsory.
    Please advise the best solution to achieve this scenario.
    Regards
    Chini

    what you described is not subject to customer material inforecord.
    Your scenario can be met with material determination. This can be maintained in VB11.
    When you enter material number 536 in sales order, SAP automatically finds 235. where your inventory is managed.
    But if 536 is your customers material number, then you can maintain this as info in the customer material inforecord, and it will print in your sales order. But you then will never enter 536 in the sales order, you will always enter 235 in the sales order. You can just use the F4 search help to search for your 235 by specifying 536 in the matchcode (material to customer)

  • 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.
    Regards
