Bar coding with batch management

Hi,
I have a scenario like:
I have chemicals as a raw materials which need to be processed to make one type of medicine. These chemiacals go into the mixing unit which is automatic. Now requirement is like in a mixing unit there are many bins in which these chemicals get stored by its particular batch number and bin number.
Moreover, after MIGO bar code should pop to the quality section to inform that for the particular chemical the MIGO has been done and needs to inspect for quality.
Now every bin should be open according to the bar code reading in which batch number and bin number is there. only that bin should be open whose batch number and bin number is present in the bar code.
and then automatically the specified qty of chemicals falls in the mixing chamber.
Now How can I map this with SAP system? Do I need any other software to link the bar coding with SAP?
please guide me to map this scenario.
Regards
Deepak Sharma

Hi Deepak
Yes you need different software to link barcode.
Bar coding is different system, If you want to integrate with SAP system you need to contact your technical team.

Prod issue with Inventory management in BW ..please help

hi Folks
i am new into inventory management extraction into BW. i have read all the document regarding the extraction. My question is
1. what all the comon produciton issues you wil come across when you do the inventory management
2. what is the dificlut challenge you face during extraction and validation
3. what all things you need to consider or keep in mind while doing this process
4. what is pros and cons of this process ..any bettar way to improve this process?
please shoot me your thougths ..which will helpfull for my new task..

My Dear Friend...
Typical Steps for refreshing your understanding :
1. Transfer Business Content Datasources 2LIS_03_BX , 2LIS_03_BF, AND 2LIS_03_UM in RSA5.
2. Go to Transaction LBWE, Activate Datasources 2LIS_03_BF, AND 2LIS_03_UM.
3. Go to Transaction MCB_ select SAP BW usage 'Standard' Radio button.
4. Save it.
5. Go to Transaction MCNB, enter name of run Stock_init. Enter Termination date in future. Enter Datasource as 2LIS_03_BX.
6. Execute the initialization.
7. Entries can be found in SETUP Table MC03BFSETUP & MC03BFSETUP.
8. Run SETUP for 2LIS_03_BF, AND 2LIS_03_UM using TCodes OLI1BW and OLIZBW respectively.
ALWAYS LOAD in order as BX datasource first then BF datasource and then UM datasource in cube
9. Run the extraction for 2LIS_03_BX in BW.
10. Compress the request with No Marker Update NOT SET i.e. unticked or unchecked.
11. Run the extraction for 2LIS_03_BF in BW.
12. Compress the request with No Marker Update SET i.e. ticked or checked.
13. Run the extraction for 2LIS_03_UM in BW.
14. Compress the request with No Marker Update SET i.e. ticked or checked.
Steps 1 and 2 shall be executed in Development and transported to production and step 3 onward should be carried out in Production itself with posting Block.
And about Reconcilitation of data ...Count the number of records in R/3 in particular table and check with BW is its matching...When you request in Detail Tab you can find the number of records...
Then check if the balances are matching in R/3 and BW...saying for ex: Check opening Stock for today in both the systems...
If you follow the process properly I dont think you will face any issues...I havent ever seen any complication in Inventory loading...Dont worry...Just follow the typical LO Extraction steps...All Good
Regards...

Inventory management problem with WS-C2950-24 on CWLMS 4.0

Hi Joe,
I have a problem with inventory management wiht 2950- 24 switches on which I am not able to capture inventory as well as the configurations. The IOS version is 121-22.EA13 and featureset is i6k2l2q4-mz. However, when I troubleshoot it, all the transport protocols (Telnet, ssh, tftp etc) shows success.
Thanks,
Best Regards // Rajiv

Inventory uses snmp to communicate to device. Please check you device has snmp configured and LMS has correct SNMP RO credentials added to it.
Please try to do a manual snmpwalk from LMS server (using device centre > tools) and see the walk succeeds.
Then again try to run the inventory from LMS server on this perticular device and if it fails, share the failure result/screenshot etc details. NMSROOT/log/ic_server.log as well.
-Thanks

I've got this excellent document "How to handle inventory management scenarios in BW". Very clear, easy to understand.
I'd like to go into more details about 2LIS_03_BX (initialization of the current stock), compression of requests and marker update.
Does anyone have indication of other documents that deal with these subjects?
Thanks in advance

Inventory management and physical inventory data transfer

hi all,
can anyone plz povide me with inventory management and physical inventory data transfer tutorial or link.
points are guarented.
rgds

The information behind the blue-button for MI34, MI38 (as you mentioned) does not have enough detail. It's basically one-page. Is there another instructional source available? How is the logical file MMIM_PHYSICAL_INVENTORY_DOCUMENTS tied to the physical, can you clarify? Not sure how to determine where the sequential file being processed needs to be located. Thanks!

Integration SMP 3.0 and Inventory Manager 3.2 / 4.0

Hello,
I have a Little doubt. For an Implementation of Inventory Manager after I have installed/configured the SMP 3.0 or SMP 2.3, in order to actívate the Agentry for Inventory Manager, Do I have to install the Inventory manager server (Agentry Server) which I had downloaded with Inventory Manager Package from services marketplace? or Do I have to install Agentry server which came with SMP, and after that just configure the deployment package as application within the SMP? ... I'm a Little bit confused because I think these deployment files (bundle) are on the agentry server that came with the Inventory Manager package (that is why the question was raised) and if I do not install the Inventory Manager Server I wont be able to get this bundle. Another questions is: In case the inventory manager server must be installed in order to make the agentry / SMP integration work for this standard app, If after this implementation We want to develop /configure another agentry apps, Can I do this with the agentry server installed for Inventory Manager (Inventory Manager Server) and not the "generic" one that came with the SMP?
Please Help Manju Venkatesha Michael Appleby Steve Streeter Jason Latko
Best Regards,
Mariana

Hi Manju Venkatesha & Stephen Streeter
Let me see if I understood what you guys answered me on this post...
1.- The agentry server is built on SMP 3.0 & SMP 2.3 and the standalone server on SMP 2.3 is only configure for development. Now, I have a another question about this...
Q.- if I need to configure the agentry's development environment besides Inventory Manager Mobile App, Does the SMP 2.3 developer server need two agentry server (The one built within SMP and the standalone for development process)? or just standalone server? or just SMP Server with Agentry generic server built within?. I understood production environment only will have one... the "generic" agentry server... as Steven said "SMP 2.3 needs to be use for QA and production", but i have this question regarding development server.
2.- Manju, We can install either IM 3.2 or IM 4.0, the thing is we are reviewing what versión is better to implement So I need to clarify my doubts for implementation process on both versions. The steps you mentioned put me in context and gives me some lights about the process, now, when you wrote: "Download Inventory Manager from service marketplace (it comes exe file)", is this the mobile server called "Inventory Manager 3.2.0 Sever" for IM 3.2 / "SAP Inventory Manager 4.0.1 Deployment" for IM 4.0?. The confusion raised here because the wizard for the mobile server that comes with mobile application implementation package, it is almost the same of Agentry standalone server, besides the SAP Backend information, it's pretty much the same wizard. In fact I think it will create a file system directory similar to standalone agentry server... So, my question about this is:
Q.- If the answer to my previous question: Does the SMP 2.3 developer server need two agentry server (The one built within SMP and the standalone for development process)? , is yes… and as you remark on your steps I need to install this mobile server (exe file), Is this mean that I need to install three agentry server on the development server (generic, standalone, mobile server)?, What happen with the file system directory for the agentry standalone dev server and inventory manager mobile server? Do they will merge in one??? And if I need to modify the inventory manager mobile app: which agentry server will be my development environment?
The SMP 3.0 which has the agentry component integrated and does not need a standalone one will need the "mobile server", does it? (exe file within SAP Inventory Manager 4.0.1 Deployment I guess or Inventory Manager 3.2.0 Server) and what about if I need to customize something on IM 4.0? The changes will be publish directly to the agentry component within SMP 3.0?
Another thing, is the Inventory manager server (mobile server) will give me the jar file from which I can get the IM agentry project for Inventory manager mobile app customization?
I know I can be confusing on my questions but please help me understand
Thank you both for the information / help you could give me ...
Best Regards,
Mariana

Recreating inventory manager

Hi
I am having problem with inventory manager and it is getting down frequently and there is no prblm with other managers.How can i recreate it i want to recreate the INVLIBR
rgds
rajesh

What is the error you are getting? Recreating the inventory manager may not be the solution.
Try to relink Inventory Manager (INVLIBR) manually using the following command:
- Login as applmgr user
- Run the following:
$ AD_TOP/bin/adrelink.sh force=y ranlib=y "inv INVLIBR"
$ AD_TOP/bin/adrelink.sh force=y ranlib=y "inv INCTM"
- Bounce the Concurrent Manager

SAP Inventory management interface with Third party Warehouse System

Hi Experts,
Need your input for designing the SAP solution with existing Third party warehouse system ( Exacta ):-
SAP ERP will be implemented for all locations of Client ( SAP MM, FI, PS , HR etc ).The Client has 10 distribution centres which are on Exacta Warehouse systems and will be linked with SAP Inventory management system.
The way it will work - Goods receipt will always happen in SAP for all locations and then interface needs to Trigger subsequent Putaway activities at Exacta Ware house ( third party warehouse system) for those 10 locations.
Goods Issue for these locations will happen from Exacta and then update will be posted in SAP via interface.
All locations will be created as Plant /Storage locations in SAP.
Need your inputs what special configurations need to happen in SAP for those locations so that goods receipt in SAP can trigger putaway activities in Exacta system .
Do we need to do configuration for decentralised Warehouse in SAP for handling this?
Pl. give your inputs based on your past experience where you handled such scenarios via interface with SAP Inventory management and legacy warehouse systems.
Thanks for quick response on this.
Regards,
Krish

Krish
This is a std business process where clients have used their existing warehousing systems but implemented SAP forother functions such as Order entry, inventory mgmt and procurement, financials.
The typical interface that needs to happen is
1. Sales order ( and or delivery)
2. Invetory needs to be passed to the WH. Typically people send it when SAP GR takes place.
3. When WH system does picking, it sends signal to SAP which then does PGI for the sales order delivery and that takes the stock out of the system.
Material master has to be transferred or mapped between two systems. Also, other elements need to be mapped between two systems.
The way I have seen this happening is :
you have an output on the SAP GR process. That creates an idoc to the WH system. Based on the capabilities of the WH system, it then does appropriate actions in the system.
Many times, middlewares are used to translate/ map the data between SAP and the WH systems.
So system wise, there is ALE setup that needs to take place for IDOC creations.
Configuration and coding is required for the output type and the program behind it. There are several std FUnction Modules that can be used for this.
Hope this helps.

Will MIM (Merchandize and inventory management) work with SAP AFS / SAP POS

We are implementing SAP AFS ERP at the head office and SAP POS at the retail stores.
We want to implement the MIM module for inventory management at retail store level. Does MIM work in conjunction with SAP AFS. A consultant was suggesting that MIM works only with SAP Retail and no other vertical SAP solution.
Can someone please clarify?
Regards
paddy

MIM is linked to IS Retail, not to AFS.
Nevertheless, you can always link and AFS and a Retail system. SAP provides a very convincing ALE scheme for this.

Extend Inventory Management (0IC_C03) with new field MSEG-INSMK

Dear Experts, We are using Business Content InfoCube "Material stocks/movements" (0IC_C03) in Area "Inventory Controlling/Inventory Management" in BW. We are using following Business Content DataSources: Stock Initialization for Inventory Management 2LIS_03_BX Goods Movements From Inventory Management 2LIS_03_BF Revaluations 2LIS_03_UM Everything works fine with delta load till now. Now we have a new requirement so that we have to fill additionally the R/3-Field MSEG-INSMK in existing Inventory Management InfoCube (0IC_C03). The Business Content DataSource (2LIS_03_BX/BF/UM) doesn't provide R/3-Field MSEG-INSMK and I don't find any other Datasource for the R/3-Field MSEG-INSMK ("Document Segment: Material" - Stock Type). How can we extend the InfoCube 0IC_C03 with the R/3-Field MSEG-INSMK? Should I define a new Generic Datasource based on the table MSEG to extract the field INSMK. The table MSEG is very large. What would be Delta-Specific Field for Generic Delta? I would load the data from generic DataSource into a new DSO. And I can read the field MSEG-INSMK per Look-Up from the DSO in the transformation to the InfoCube 0IC_C03. Is this the solution? Many Thanks Moha

2LIS_03_BX cannot be enhanced. There is an SAP note that says enhancing this Datasource is not supported.
2LIS_03_BF can be enhanced though, and the process is just like enhancing any other LO Datasource.
So you can include the new field in the cube, enhance BF and load to the cube. With this, you will be able to report the INSMK field on the goods movements. But as INSMK is not present in BX, you will not be able to report the INSMK field on stock position reports.

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.

Inventory Management with u0091Material Document No.u0092 and u0091Purchase order No.'

Hello,
We have defined Inventory Management InfoCube analog to 0IC_C03 without Material Document No. (R3 Field MBLNR) and Purchase order number (R3 Field EBELN). We are loading the data from standard extractor 2LIS_03_BX, 2LIS_03_BF and 2LIS_03_UM. It works fine. We have alreday read the whitepaper Inventory Scenarios in BW.
Question:
Now the Material Document No. and Purchase order number have to report in BEx. As ODS can not be built in Inventory Management, so we cant include these fields in ODS and update data from ODS into another InfoCube with Document No. or order number.
We dont want to include these fields Document No. and Order number. in existing InfoCube because of performance reason.
Could you tell me how we can implement such a scenario?
Thanks for the answer.
Best regards,
Moha

hi Moha,
perhaps check
Note 581778 - ODS capability of extractors from Inventory Management
Note 773823 - P25:ODS objects cannot be loaded with opening stock
hope this helps.
