Batch / Stock Category Issue
Dear All,
I have a scenario where a single material in a purchase order has different stock categories as below:
PO/LI - 10 Mat A US
20 Mat A FR
30 Mat A AG
When the GRN is done, ideally for the different stock categories the created system batch should be different, but in my system a single batch gets created for all the stock categories. As per my understanding the relationship between Batch & Stock Category is ONE to ONE. But how could it is be possible that the system replicates the same batch for the different stock categories for a given GRN instance ( in a single material document)
In the material master, the discrete batch is maintained and also the batch management tick is maintained.
Any reasons as to why this is happenning and how i could rectify this
Regards
Shabeen Buhary
What "stock category" means? "US", "FR", "AG"?
Are you speaking about valuation types?
How batch number ssignment is set in the system? Please check it - maybe user exit SAPLV01Z is used --> revise the logic of it with the help of an ABAPer.
In your example I can see separate line items - you should be able to set the system to assign different batch numbers to the items (via user exit).

Csaba

hi,
i am posting gr.po in migo for x- material as 10 quantity then TR is created automatically with stock category as "Q" after quality inspection once i put TO for that material the stock category as "Q" not as available stock . my requirement is whenever goods came it moved to qc then only it moved to warehouse. how to achive this flow.......because once i put gr the transfer requirement is created with stock category as "Q'. so if i proceed this TO created with Q category.
thanks
muthuraman.Dhi,
as per suggestion first one soution i go for manual TR its working fine but one more issue arises. when i post gr/po in migo the stock get increased in warehouse as stock category as 'q' with +ve quantity and _ve quantity looking for posting change TO and then i put manual TR -TO-confirmation for purchase order stock moved destination bin with stock category as unrestricted stock,but my problem is stock in posting change quantity still there.
my requirment is once i post gr the stock never get updated in wm level. once i put manual tr-to then only it should updated.....other wise two stock are updated one for manual TR and another for migo posting(waiting for posting change in interim area with -ve and +ve quantity values)....how to avoid that....kindly explain..........
Thanks

2LIS_03_UM Datasource Material belonging to Stock Category 'E' Issue.
Hi,
We wanted to use 2LIS_03_UM Datasource for Sales order Stock Valuation as we want these valuations in Daily level at sales order item level . But we are having a problem in Extracting Materials with Stock Category(BSTTYP) 'E'. I have selected fileds LBWE MBLNR, KDAUF, KDPOS from LBWE pool and brought them to the Extractor . After filling the setup table in OLIZBW with the Company code and posting date. In RSA 3 i am getting data for the company code and posting date. But the Fields BSTAUS and BSTTYP with values 'V" or null. I just came across in one of the forums we have to do some config in
include LMCB1F20 (routine STA_VERAENDERUNG).
And joins on tables MSEG, T156C, T156M
cosidering fields ->
BUSTM, ZUSTD, CNT02, LBBSA, SOBKZ
Can i have some more details on how to do this in R/3.
ThanksHi Arun,
Valuated Stock with unrestricted use is a Non - Cumulative key figure and you dont have to add this field to this data source or for that matter to any data source. You can simply include this info object directly in the Inventory Cube and write the Update routine accordingly.
Before writing the routine you must ask your finctional guys to provide you with the classification of the material movements. I mean are there any Z Movements for this key figure? What are the process keys for this? etc...
This will help you in writing the routine for this key figure.
Hope it helps... -
Hi,
I made a UD of an Insp Lot to 'Scrap' in the Inspection lot stock tab.
The system automatically created a material document with movement type 553 (Direction -) and 551 (Direction +)
However the stock Category in the material document is "Q". IS THIS CORRECT? SHOULD THIS BE "S" (This is in the WM tab of the material document).
Also when I query MMBE after the above UD to Scrap, the batch quantity is not shown either in Quality or Blocked stock. IS THIS CORRECT?
Please advise.
Regards
PriyankaMy understanding was when I input a quantity in 'Scrap' field during UD
1) The stock should be blocked (hence it will show under blocked stock column in MMBE)
2) The stock category should be "S" and not "Q"
I agree that in MMBE based on your explanation the stock should not be shown in blocked.
But can you explain why the stock category is "Q" instead of "S"

Re-configure 'Stock Category' in the Warehouse Management system
Hi Gurus,
As we all know, it is possible to see which batch/material is in blocked status because the system highlights it with stock category indicator "<b>S</b>". With this, I would just like to know if it is feasible to modify the configuration in the system so that it assigns the Stock Category (labelled as '<i>C</i>' in transaction LS26) as follows:
<b>S</b> : blocked without a usage decision
<b>R</b> : batches which are blocked because they were rejected (there was actually a usage decision)
Please let me know your thoughts regarding this matter.
Hope you can help me on this one. Thanks in advance.Hello Francis,
I think it is not good idea to change the standard SAP settings becuase we are not sure where our changes will impact. However, the SAP system is behaving in the same way you want, the only thing is you need to do relevent transaction at inventory level and subsequently carry out posting change in Warehouse System.
Quality stock with stock indiacator 'Q'
Blocked stock with Stock indicator 'S'
Return stock with stock indicator 'R'
Hope this helps.

Cross Docking for stock category Q (inspection stock)
Hello everyone,
My client uses cross docking in 4.7 release and recently a requirement came up where they wanna be able to cross dock stock received from production while the User Decision from QM is still pending.
I have tried to walkthrough the code behind planned/opp cross docking and realised that only available stock is taken into consideration.
I d be really grateful if anyone could suggest how to best approach and tackle this issue? Please consider that the quant should not lose the inspection lot number so that once UD is given, the stock category changes automatically.
Thank you
Kind RegardsYes it is possible. In the IM/WM interface tables, in the second table, you can vary the process according to stock status. See the third column.
LogisticsExecution \ Warehouse Management \ Interfaces \ Inventory Management \ Define Movement Type
Following is the config. help text for the field
Special Stock Indicators for Whse Mgmt
Use
In the Materials Management system you can post different transactions using one movement type. For example, posting goods receipt to unallocated stock or goods receipt to
stock in quality inspection.
These transactions are treated differently by the system on the basis of this indicator. Together with other indicators of a movement type in the Materials Management system, this indicator is used to correctly allocate a movement type in the Warehouse Management system so that the transaction can be posted accordingly.

2LI_03_BF Material Stock Type and Stock Category Determination
Hi All,
I need your help in determining the stock type and stock category of a certain material.
Is there a way to determine it manually? cause i tried to look at the MSEG table and it does not show anything but when i try to run the material document that contains the movement/material it populates the stock type and stock catertory in the setup tables.
Regards,
AldenHello
1) 2LIS_03_BF clearly gives you the receiving plant and the issuing plant. For eg if you are doing plant to plant transfer there will be 2 entries in 2lis_03_bf , one for issue and one for receiving. You can bifurcate the receiving plant and the issuing plant by using either process key (BWVORG ) or debit credt (SHKZG) (H stands for issue & S stands for receipt).
2) 0MAT_PLANT_ATTR provides you the plantwise specila procurement type
3) you will get VBUK-GBSTK in the standard source 2LIS_11_VASTH . You will have to combine the data at the BW level

Additional Stock Category Considered in SNP Heuristics
Hi,
The customer has a requirement to add 'inspection stock' into the SNP Heusrics planning considerations. The stock is already CIF'ed to APO, and is already seen in RRP3 Product view.. So I think part of the work is done. What further do I need to do to get it added to the key figure in the SNP Planning book?
I have looked at MSDP_ADMIN and the details of the key figure, The stock key figure used here is listed in many planning obj structure, eg 9AMALO, 9ASNPBAS etc. But in all of them there are no category groups or individual category settings assigned... and it is actually greyed out and I cannot add one. So im not sure what it is working on today, even before the new customer requirement.
Is stock as a key figure different than others? I understand category groups and how they are used in ATP Issues / Reciepts for deployment.. but this appears to be a different setup? (as it is blank currently)
Other posts seem to have menitoned something about the SNP tab of the location master data in APO. 'Category Groups for Stocks'.
Do I need to create a new category group in SPRO customising, and then add it to this location master data? or the key figure? or both? or none?
Please help.
S SBAnswering my own question now I have found the answer for the benefit of others:
When a specific stock category group is assigned in the location master then the sytem considers all the stock categories assigned to that category group while calculating the initial stock.
If no stock category group is assigned in location master then the system looks at the category group "ST1 - Opening stock" in SPRO and considers all categories in cat group ST1 while calculating the initial stock.
So to include CF / CI / any other cateogy in the initial stock calculation , all you have to do is assign those categories to ST1 category group . Once this is done you will be able to see the difference in your initial stock.
There is NOTHING required in MSDP_ADMIN. Tested and confirmed. -

Inv. Consign. - Stock category K is not permitted for general stock search
Hi,
IS-Retail ECC 6.0
Unable to select another vendor consignment inventory for the same article at TO creation. Get the following message:
+Stock category K is not permitted for general stock search+
+Message no. L3727+
+Diagnosis+
+You have entered a stock category (special stock indicator and special stock number) during transfer order creation that is not permitted by general stock determination.+
+Example:+
+General stock determination only allows you to enter stock categories 'own stock' and 'consignment stock' of vendor 6411. You cannot enter special stock 'K' and special stock of (vendor) 6512+.
Not using batch management but already applied OSS note1034907 - Picking consignment stock in Warehouse Management without success.
Any idea?
Thanks
GaetanThere is the response back from SAP on the subject. We also faced the situation where the stock determination was done but we had no stock available for the first sorted stock in this case our own stock. We have than created a user exit to take out any 0 line item from the sort to bypass this problem and get the next stock vendor available . Hope that will help.
Gaetan
In the retail consignment processing the stock split is excluded during
stock determination. That means, you have to set the stock split to 1.
In your case, if you check the customizing settings of the stock
determination for
- site 1100,
- stock determination rule Z001 and
- stock determination groupe Z001,
the stock split or the number of splits is 002. But, this is not
possible in coherence with the retail consignment processing and the
creation of a TO. We will prevent such a scenario also in the coding.
Therefore you are not able to select another vendor for consignment. In
this case you have to change/adjust your customizing settings for stock
determination. Please check also the usage of an alternate stock
determination rule.
For further information, please check/compare also the documentation.
Customizing documentation:
When stock determination is activated, the stock split is excluded
during stock determination, which means you have to set the stock
split to 1.
Documentation in the Help Portal:
* It is not possible to make a partial delivery of a delivery item
from both consignment stock and a company's own stock. Nor can you
deliver an item from the consignment stock of serveral special stock
managers.
That means, please check/adjust your customizing settings for the stock
determination. -
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,
DevHi 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 -

How to do STO of expired batch stock
Hi,
How can I do STO for expired batch stock? i need to do it for scrapping which is handled in other plant.
Thanks in advance.
NinadHi
I suppose the expired batch is blocked stock & for doing the STO, we need to bring the stock to unrestricted. What you can do is, create one separate new storage location in which there wont be any other stock available. Move the expired blocked stock to unrestricted stock in this storage location. Process the STO cycle with this storage location. In recieving location, stock can be again recieved in quality stock & can be treated for further process i.e scrapping.
Thanks
