Backdated Inventory

Hi Experts,
Today, Can we see the last month inventory in BI as well as in R/3? If it is could you please
explain in detail?
As per my knowledge by using Transaction MB5B we can see the stock on posting date in R/3. For the same selections we can
see the inventory in BI report?
In the same way can we see the back dated inventory in R/3 as well as in BI by giving proper selections?
Please clarify my doubt in detail.I will appreciate by giving points.

Delivery Creation based on Backdate stock

Hi
Could anyone advise the procedure to have the delivery creation based on the back dated stock.
IN DETAIIL detail The system should be able to allocate stock in sales order shedule line item based on the back date of last week (example) stock avilablity, though today no system level inventory due to goods movement.
Appreciated if could advise in detail.
Regards
RG

Provide with an example.
At present system checks the stock which is posted in backdate,
To determine confirmed delivery date, Backward scheduling performed first , if not derived the req del date, then system does forward scheduling- which is a std functionality

Inventory Audit Report

We used the Inventory Audit Report to determine inventory value ending in a specific period. It seems to work okay but it lists every single item in our inventory.
We are looking for more of a summary report. The only option we have for this is by product category. However, we want it a little more detailed than this.
So, is there any way to show the report summarized by our Style #'s? We have have colors and sizes associated with each style. We do not need to know total for each color and size.
We just want the total for each Style #, which is the first four digits of our Item Code. Theses first four digits are unique for each Style. Can a Query be built to just show this summary?
So...would have the following info...
Style #...Total Items...Total Cost...Most Recent Item Cost
Can something like this be built?
Thanks!!!
Mike

To backdated the history is the most challenge task to complete. Please be patient to check the query results from below:
SELECT Distinct SubString(t0.ItemCode,1,4) 'Style #', Sum(T0.InQty - T0.OutQty) 'Total Items', Sum(T0.InQty - T0.OutQty) *Avg(Case When T1.LastPurPrc = 0 then t2.AvgPrice else T1.LastPurPrc end) 'Total Cost', Sum(T0.TransValue) 'Check', Avg(Case When T1.LastPurPrc = 0 then T2.avgprice else T1.LastPurPrc end) 'Most Recent Item Cost'
FROM OINM t0
Inner Join OITM T1 on T1.ItemCode =T0.ItemCode
Inner Join OITW T2 on T2.ItemCode = t0.ItemCode
WHERE T0.DocDate <= '[%0\]' and T0.InQty != T0.OutQty
Group By SubString(t0.ItemCode,1,4)
Order By SubString(t0.ItemCode,1,4)
I have to get data from OINM table in which to get history quantity is fine but may not be able to find the old value easily.
Thanks,

Inventory Audit Report - Zero quantity but with value

Hi All,
Our client are using FIFO costing, due to some backdated transaction we get 0 Qty but the value is not 0 when running Inventory Audit Report base on posting date (system date is fine) at the month end. I understand that the system calculate the cost base on system date and this is system behavior.
So, i just wanted to seek for advice from any expert in accounting especially on costing, will this 0 Qty with value report be accepted by auditor and will it caused any legal issue or this accounting practice is acceptable?
Thanks.

Dear Mr Kong,
From what you said it looks like opening a message for this issue is the appropriate action this time.
The stock group will give you an update on this issue.

MI07>you will get Post inv.differences: initial screen>Enter Phys. inventory doc.> Fiscal year> Posting date>click on enter button>you will get separate screen with deference qty>click save button (Ctrl+S)> you will get document number generated from the system (Diffs in phys. inv. doc. 100000112 posted with m. doc. 4900001246)
Physical Inventory:
Physical Inventory is a business process in which physical stock is matched with book (system) stock. It is legal requirement to carry out physical inventory at least once in a year.
Physical inventory can be carried out both for a companyu2019s own stock (Unrestricted, Quality, Blocked Stock) and for special stocks (Customer Consignment stock, Vendor consignment stock from vendor, Returnable packaging). This inventory is carried out saperately for both type of stocks.
Physical Inventory Processes:
Several inventory processes available for physical inventory which includes as follow:
1. Periodic Physical Inventory
o All stocks of the company are physically counted on the balance sheet key date
o Every material must be counted
o Entire warehouse must be blocked for material movements during count.
2. Continuous Physical Inventory
o Stocks are counted continuously during the entire fiscal year.
o It is important to ensure that every material is physically counted at least once during the year.
3. Cycle Counting
o In this method of physical inventory, inventory is counted at regular intervals within a fiscal year.
o These intervals (or cycles) depend on the cycle counting indicator set for the material in Material Master record as CC indicator in plant view data.
o With this Cycle Counting Method of Physical Inventory allows fast-moving items to be counted more frequently than slow-moving items.
4. Inventory Sampling
o Randomly selected stocks of the company are physically counted on the balance sheet key date.
o If found not much variance between the counted stock and the book book stock, it is presumed that the book inventory balances for the other stocks are correct.
Physical Inventory Process Cycle Flow
1. Creation of physical inventory document
- Physical inventory document(s) is created individually or using the batch program, click for more information
- The transaction codes for creation physical inventory are as follow
Individual Inventory documentation creation
MI01 - Individual physical inventory creation
MIS1 - Inventory Sampling document creation
MICN - Cycle count inventory document creation
Collective Inventory document creation
MI31 - Own stock without special stock
MIK1 - Vendor consignment
MIQ1 - Project stock
MIM1 - Returnable Transpiration material
MIW1 - Customer Consignment stock
MIV1 - Returnable material with customer
MIO1 - Material provided to Vendor (Subcontracting material)
2. Print physical inventory document
- Physical Inventory document can be printed based on the physical inventory document status and or item status
- Transaction code MI21 is used to print the inventory document where print default value can be populated
3. Count the physical stock
- Based on the inventory document printout, the warehouse person will check the stock of material physically and note that on print out. This is completely physical process.
4. Enter count in system
- On completion of physical count, the count result is needs to be entered in the system. This can be with reference (using Tcode MI04) or without reference (using Tcode MI04) to the physical inventory document.
- If count quantity for that material is ZERO then select ZC (zero count) column instead of putting 0 in qty field. If 0 is used for zero count then systm will consider that as "not counted"
5. Analyze difference
- Once count is posted in the system, difference analysis can be carried out using transaction MI20
- The output gives information based on the input criteria i.e. physical inventory document, plant, material etc.
- The output gives information about the book quantity, Counted quantity, difference in quantity and value.
- From this output list, you can carry out further process ie initiate recount, change count quantity, post difference
6. Initiate recount and follow the steps 3,4,5
- If found unacceptable difference, recount is initiated using directly from difference analysis list (transaction code MI20) or using transaction code MI11.
- New inventory document will be created for selected items or for entire document
- The original document items will be deactivated once recount is initiated so original document will not be available for further process.
- On initiating recount, you need to process same as for new count document.
7. Post the difference
- Several options are available for posting difference
- Post difference after count is posted using transaction code MI07
- Posting the count and inventory differences using transaction code MI08, here you have created physical inventory but not counted so with this you can count and post difference in sinle step.
- Entering the count without a document reference using trasnaction code MI10, with this you can create inventory document, enter the count and post difference in single step.
some more points for posting difference
- Posting period must be open to post inventory difference.
- The fiscal year is set by specifying a planned count date when creating a physical inventory document.
- Tolerence to crear difference per user group can be set in customization.
- The system will generate material document for the difference qty and post the value to appropriate account (for valuated stock)
- The movement type in material document will be 701 or 702 based on gain or loss of material.
Serial Numbers in Physical Inventory
If material is managed with serial number then it is possible to carry out physical inventory for material with serial number. There are some pre-requisite before you carry out physical inventory for serialized materials.
- Serial number profile must be maintained in the material master.
- the serialization procedure MMSL (maintaining goods receipt and goods issue documents) has to be assigned to serial number profile.
- The stock check indicator in the serial number profile should be configured.
- Maintain basic settings for the serial numbers in customization for Serial Number Profile.
- Configure serial number management for physical inventory in the Settings for Physical Inventory step in Customizing for Inventory Management.
Blocked Stock Returns are the stock which is return stock from Customer or the stock which can be return back to vendor. To restrict the usage of this stock mostly business do transfer posting for this mateial as BLOCKED stock

Backdating Actual PGI date

Hello,
We have SAP's DSD (direct store delivery) application live. In the process, deliveries are made to stores by the driver. He returns to the depot and settles his route. It is at that time that the post goods issue (PGI) is performed for the deliveries. In most cases this is one or two days after the planned and actual date of delivery so that the Actual Post Goods Issue date in the system is too late.
For example:
- Sales order / delivery document - scheduled delivery date Monday
- driver picks up the product from the depot and makes delivery to customer on Monday
- driver returns to the depot on Wednesday and the route is settled
- delivery is post goods issued and system updates the delivery with an Actual Post Goods Issue date of Wednesday
Questions:
1. Has anyone had experience in back-dating the PGI date (in the above example we would like to back-date Actual PGI date to Monday)?
2. What issues might this raise (e.g. posting in a closed period, etc.) and how would you overcome them?
3. Anything else to be aware of?
Much appreciated for your assistance.
Doug

Hi Donna,
Thanks for the quick response. Yes you are right. However, let say if I am settling on Monday and the month end falls on the Saturday. If the planned delivery date is Saturday and I backdate it from Monday to Saturday then when I settle my period totals, (inventory and sales) which I may have reported, will be altered.
Is there any easy way to determine the delta from a reporting perspective?
I hope I am clear on my explanation above.
Doug

Item cost not found for one or more items - Inventory Posting

Good Day Mentors,
My user has encountered an error during Inventory Posting and its "Item cost not found for one or more items".
The specific Message ID from SAP's System Message Log is 10001287.
I found a similar post which addresses this error here.
But unfortunately it did not help me solve my user's problem.
I already checked if the items had a defined "Item Cost" in the Item Master Data Inventory Tab, and they all have "Item Cost" defined.
I'm not sure if this will help, but below is the Inventory Audit Report of one of the items that is throwing the "Item cost not found" error.
I am not a business consultant neither am I literate in accounting, so thanks for the patience.
SAP Version: 9.0 PL5
Valuation Method: Moving Average
Thanks in advance!
Sean

Hi Augusto and Raviraj,
I've already verified in our production database the points you made:
- Is the "Manage Item cost per warehouse" selected in the Basic Initialization Screen?
YES
- Is the "Manage Inventory by Warehouse" ticked/checked in the "Inventory Data" tab of the "Item Master Data" screen?
YES
* I apologize for not have been able to give this information upfront.
Anyway, the database only has one warehouse at the moment.
I've checked the items, like the item in the screen shot above, and it does have an item cost.
Below is the screenshot of the sample item from my original post,
Thanks in advance!

Combined Report for Purchasing and Inventory Management.

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.

BW:Inventory stock Report issue based on Vendor and PO number

Dear Guru's.
Requirement is to report different inventory stock's (Total Stock, blocked stock, stock in transit..etc) based on plant, material, storage location, vendor and purchase order in BW.
For Example:
Plant
material
Stock in Transit
Total Stock
1000
50000001
0,00
100kg
1000
50000002
500kg
600kg
If we drag the Vendor or Purchase Order Number into the report, Data gets Splitted into +ve (Inflow) and -Ve(Outflow) values.
For Example:
Plant
material
Vendor
Purchase Order
Stock in Transit
Total Stock
1000
50000001
54545
567896
+300 kg
+400kg
1000
50000001
-300kg
-300kg
1000
50000002
54549
567899
+900kg
+800kg
1000
50000002
-400kg
-200kg
I Think this is because no vendor assigned to outflow data. this is my guess i don't have much knowledge on MM. i have tried to restrict the keyfig's with stock category, but for most of the vendors or PO 's its unassigned.
But we need the data in single as follows. can any one suggest me any steps to achieve this in BI or BO.
Plant
material
Vendor
Purchase Order
Stock in Transit
Total Stock
1000
50000001
54545
567896
0,00
100 kg
1000
50000002
54549
567899
500 kg
600kg
Thanks in Advance,
Dev

Hi Sheshu and hi Srinu
Already tried constant selection but it did not helped, the same keyfigure value is displayed in all the rows.
that means the total stock value is repeated for all the vendors for a particular material.
For example:
Plant
material
Vendor
Purchase Order
Stock in Transit
Total Stock
1000
50000001
54545
567896
0,00 kg
+400kg
1000
50000001
54546
567898
0,00 kg
400kg
1000
50000001
0,00 kg
400kg
1000
50000002
54549
567899
+900kg
+800kg
1000
50000002
+ 900 kg
+ 800 kg
Regarding the BO settings, i need to try it.
Any more suggestions will be much more helpful.
Thanks and Regards, Sri

A/P Credit Memo (Item Type) not to deduct quantity in inventory

Hi,
1. I purchased an item > supplier gave me invoice> I key in A/P Invoice (Item Type)
2. Found out item was overpriced
3. Supplier gave me Credit Note to adjust the price
How do I key in this credit note via A/P Credit Memo? To my understanding if I key in the a/p credit memo (item type), my inventory quantity will be deducted as well.

Because the item is over priced, it means that my inventory gl is over stated. When I get the supplier's CN, I will have to reduce the inventory gl. When I create a Service Type A/P Credit Memo I must choose inventory gl. But this will create another problem - Inventory Audit Report balance will not tally with Inventory gl balance (because i didn't reduce the item price in the first place). To solve this is to do a Inventory Revaluation.
Hi Lay Chin, what you suggested is the best option so far.
Thank you everyone for the reply.

Non-cumulative Values not showing in Inventory Management Queries

Hi:
Has anyone had a problem with the new version and Non-cumulative key figures not showing up in Bex for Inventory Managemet reports? Specifically, they showed and validated back to ECC for our Development and QA boxes but now in our Regression box they are all showing zeros. Our Cumulative values are all showing correctly still within the Regression box. For example, Total Receipts and Total Issues are correctly poplating values but Total Stock is not.
I have checked and validate that the configuration in the Regression box matches or Dev and QA box.

Found the problem. It had to do with the compression variant in the delta process chain. The compression was set to 'no marker update'. Since we only started receiving measureable deltas in or regression box this is where the incorrect setting showed up. Reinitalized and the deltas are working correctly now.

Third Party Process and Inventory

We are using the SAP function "Third-Party Processing". We are using the function in it's standard (SAP R/3 4.7).
The auditor now has the following issue: Shipping the goods starts after paying the goods. Out of this, while shipping the goods, we are the owner of them. In this circumstance the ship is our warehouse.
SAP does not allow an Inventory Management within Third-Party Processing:
"Since a third-party order involves a movement from the vendor direct to the customer, Inventory Management is not in any way affected. If you wish to document the movement in the system, however, you can create a goods receipt for the third-party order."
With the SAP functions in this scenario it is correct that the warehouse stock is not being impacted. This is a conflict with the opinion of the auditor.
Let me explain in detail what is wrong out of the view of our auditor:
For example we initiated the order of a customer in June and we have paid the goods in June. The shipment starts in June and the goods will arive in July. Due to the fact, that we are the owner of the goods on the ship, we have to increase the stock. This is the opinion of our auditor.
Does any body know, how to solve the issue? How do you manage Third Party Processing & Inventory?

Some auditors just dont understand the SAP process. Instead of talking to weak users, they should talk to SAP directly.
What about shipments from standard sales orders that are shipped end of June and do arrive at the customer in July?
When do you bill your customer? when the goods arrives there, or earlier? Depending on the Incoterms you may still be the owner until the truck is unloaded.
If you change your process and post goods receipt to your warehouse, then you show inventory where no physical inventory is, you posted a goods receipt without a physical receipt. I am sure the next auditor will not allow such therotical process.
Get together, IT consultants of FI and MM and SD, strong business people for the same modules and the auditor, and discuss and find an optimal solution.And let the auidor sign the decision paper!!! Very important, I recently had to convice German auditors because they had different opinion than the Australian and US auditors of the same auditing company (and the issue had nothing to do with local legal requirements).

Third party process as inventory value

Dear Experts,
Kindly need help for third party process.
We have third party process which triggered from Sales Order. This Sales Order will automatically created PR. PR will be convert into PO.
The issue is we would like to have goods in Sales Order (or Purchase Order in next process) as inventory value when receiving goods.
Can third party process be treated as inventory value when receiving it?
Thank you in advance.
Best Regards,

In third party process your customer gets the goods directly from your vendor.
You only make a statistical GR ("phantom" GR) in the system, the goods are physically received by your customer and your customer's inventory will increase after your customer's GR and not yours. Knowing this your question doesn't make any sense I think.
If your third party process is not a real third party process and you receive the goods physically and after that you sell it your customer you can use individual PO scenario.
