Bin level cycle counting - material appears as 'ready/blocked'

Hi all,
I could not find an answer to this question in the previous posts.
Cycle counting has been set up at the storage bin level. When a new quant is generated for a material, then the material appears again on the inventory list (LX26) with description 'Ready/Blocked' although it has already been counted.
Could someone confirm if this is SAP standard behaviour or if there is something odd going on here?
Many thanks!
Kind regards
JHK

He all,
I have a similar question. Cycle Counting only within IM if you have batch management.
Scenario:
Customizing = only one count per year (365 days) KZ = 'A'
After counting all Materials type 'A' including Batches everything seems ok. But receiving a new Batch (new number) to an already counted Material/Batch Type 'A' the material appears again in the cycle counting transaction MICN or MIQ1
Could you confirm this SAP behavior.
Many Thanks

Adding found material in Cycle count by Quant in warehosue - LICC

Hi Gurus,
Hope everybody is doing great.
We activated the cycle count by quant in t-code LICC(cycle count in warehosue by quant). e.g. we have 3 material sin the list. After the count we found that there is another material in the bin. I tried to go into the change pysical inventory document and add the material but there is no option to add this.I tried to add the found material in t-code LI11N - enter count but the add new item is disable and doesn't allow. Can anybody please guide how to handle with the found material? Is there any setting in the customizing we need to activate to allow this? Please advice.
Thanks,
Shamsul

Hi,
Many thanks for your quick reply. The new item button is available and when I tried to click it this is the message we get:
*With quant inventory, new item or single entry not allowed*
*Message no. L4193*
*Diagnosis*
*For Cycle Counting per quant, only the quants entered in the inventory document can be counted. It is not possible to add a further inventory item manually, or to enter inventory data per individual entry.*
It make sense that since there is no quant of the material so you can not have it in teh inventory document BUT there shoudl be a way to add the FOUND Materials also right?
Your thought?
Thanks,
Shamsul

WMS cycle count using 'this level' cost for valuation

Hello all,
I have a client on 12.1.3
They have reported that in their system, WMS Cycle count is using 'this level' cost for valuation instead of their stated desired valuation of 'total cost'
Could anyone guide me on perhaps profile values necessary to make this happen for them or pertinent questions to ask as to why this is happening?
My Very Best Regards,
Mallory

Hello,
You can do cycle counting with Rf transaction LM59 for the serialised material.
1.My experience says when you have HUM activated then to track material HU & serialisation profile works together.
2.You can do cycle counting of serailised & non serialsed material through Rf gun but clearance of this material will be issue. You may have to create one more transaction to clear the difference of serialised materials like LI20
Hope this input helps.

Cycle count of Serialized parts at WM level

We have serilized parts in WM locations and question is how to do the cycle count these?
Thanks for the

Hello,
Based on my understanding . You are receiving goods with "E" stock ( special stock indicator). This E indicator comes with sales order number and line item will be stored( ex: E '151'000020) in the IM and WM stock. (you can see this in LS26/MMBE once you receive).So you canot issue this item for another line item of the same order. Coming to the questions you raised
1. "whether we could maintain stock at WM level without account assignment?".
What ever comes from IM will be the same in WM. So you can not change the stock indicator value only in WM while issuing goods to a specific on hand orders with "E" indicator. I hope you should do a process change either in SD/IM area than in WM. Because you said that "product (Fabric) has quite a lot of characteristics such as Width, Shrinkage, Shade only after the inspection process do they know which SU satisfies".
and So when you are creating a sale order of that kind you should have either not having the specific purchase( E stock ) or should have a BATCH with characteristics. OR you should transfer the stock to quality for quality inspection and then make available for issue. Either way you need to see this issue beyond WM level because this is a process of (SD/IM/FI) cross function.
2. "is there any way i could do a continous count for material & SU without taking into account the SO/LI.?".
I hope NOT.
I could not understand yardage problem while counting.i don't know if any physical material handling problem in warehouse will intern effect of your continuous counting.
I Hope looking more options in Batch/quality/sales order areas will certainly help you..... thanks

Count at bin level and quant level?

what is the difference between cycle count at bin level and quant level?
Thx

If you use cycle counting inventory at quant level, the system does not set the inventory block for the entire storage bin. It sets the block instead for the quant to be inventoried.
You count only the selected materials, not all materials in the storage bin. If you manage storage bins with mixed storage, these storage bins are accessible for stock movements with other quants.
There can be open transfer orders for all materials that were not flagged for cycle counting in the inventory document. You can also create transfer orders for these materials during the inventory.
The system saves the inventory data at quant level.
In a stock movement, if you move a quant from one storage bin to another, the system deletes the quant in the source storage bin and creates a new quant in the destination storage bin.
Because the system stores the inventory data for the cycle counting inventory at quant level in the quant data, any inventory data that you previously entered is lost in this type of stock transfer.

Report to see the value of material at storage bin level

Hi,
The requirement is to see the quantity and value of material stored at storage bin level.
Is there any standard report available to see the same.
thanks

Hi,

Cycle count for serialized material

Guys,
When we do cycle count for serialized items, it pop up to enter serial # when updating the count. Is there any BADI/User exist to skip this step in counting for serialized materials. We dont want to enter serial#, since volume is hugh and serial# is of less important, only count matters.
Regards
TGB

Once you active the series number, then all the material need marked and managed with series number.
and stock counting need under series number.
it will cost more time absolutely than no series number.
if you think the series number not important, you can Deactivate serial number.
But please note, the reason why you use serial number is to manage the material one by one against the series number.
NOT just count the quantity.

Block on IM-level when counting on WM-level

Hi,
Could you please let me know if there is any Process or transactio to block material on IM-level when counting on WM-level,
or Does it nessasary?
In Material Master, Plant/Storage location stock view, there is a field "physical inventory block". is not possible to maintain..as it is grayed out for us..so we cannot and we will not use MM02.

When we are counting on WM-level the bin is blocked. In SAP no stock will be issued from that bin.
But on IM-level the stock is not blocked.
When an employee is counting an other employee can do on IM-level a goods issue. On IM-level the stock is
reduced. In WM total stock is reduced, because negative stock is created on a interim storage bin (this has to
be "repaired" manually).
But timing is becoming an issue now.
An example:                                                               stock   IM       WM
in stock:                                                                                5          5
count list is created
parts are counted                                                                 5          5
goods issue of 1 is done by an other employee                4          4 (5 in blocked bin, -1 in interim bin)
cycle count list is filled in (TC LI11N)                                          5
Stock in SAP =                                                                 5          5
Physical stock in bin                                                             4          4
counting result is 1
We want to block 12NC on IM-level for 2 reasons:
1.     negative stock on interim bin has to be "repaired" manually (interim stock has to cleared),
                        when a goods issue was done on IM level
2.     Cycle count differences (results) arise because IM-level was not blocked (not accaptable).
please provide me your valuble inputs.

Open Transfer Orders in WM Cycle Count

Hi experts:
My client wants to implant cycle counting in WM, we are using MIBC for CC indicator analysis and LX26 to create inv. doc. The material master is ready with the CC indicators. But my client wants to know what open TO´s are already created for the materials to be counted in LX26.
Is there any procedure to list all TO´s that are open for materials displayed in MIBC analysis?
Working on SAP ECC 6.0
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
1. You should check unprocessed TRs in LB10. (processing those TRs you can get the TOs).
2. Unconfirmed TOs can be checked in LT22.
3. Please also check LU04 for open PCNs.
You should also have a look at interim storage types, negative stock maybe indicates that after IM booking necessary WM booking were not executed (LB10 and LU04 can aslo give information on these).
Regards,
Csaba

Cycle Counts in 11.5.9

Running a cycle count by period. Cycle count was established to start on 27-Aug-07. Created the Perform full cycle count (Report Set) which runs every month...however in September the auto schedule in the cycle count form has the next date as 24-Sep-07 yet the report set which is set to run monthly will run on the 27-Sep-07...and this disconnect will continue month after month. Did I miss something obvious in set up or is there no way to have the report set in synch with auto schedule on the cycle count?
Thanks in advance.

You are not connected to the user that started the database. Please verify the owner of the database processes. You can use the ipcs utility if on linux/unix to verify the owner. Please also verify the owner and permissions of the 'oracle' binary under the RDBMS Oracle Home bin directory to verify that it has the proper owner and permissions.

Cycle count in IM

does cycle count in IM at storage location level for serialized material allow the entry of serial numbers when enetering the count?

Kiran,
If your material carries a serial no. profile that has a serialization attribute of mandatory, then yes once you enter the count and hit enter, it will ask for serial nos. to be entered as well.
Thanks,

Status field in Cycle count

Hi all,
Is it possible to involve the "status field" of the meterial in Cycle count procvess. Here the client need is to count the material at material status level.
If this possible, please let me know the t-codes / Process flow.
thanks & regards
Chaitanya Rayaprolu

Explain what your status is and what it controls, and where you maintain it.
In general SAP materials can have material statuses to control business.
However these statuses are not visible in a phyiscal inventory document or in its selection screen.
you have to modify screens, programs and forms to make such status visible for physical inventory.

Cycle Counting - New on SAP

We are new on sap. So most of our materials have never been counted. I have run mibc(ABC analysis), then I ran micn by material group to generate a cycle count. One of my 'A' materials is missing. It's in stock and we've never counted it before. Shouldn't everything that hasn't been counted come up on my cycle count? If I extend my cycle count date out, it comes up, but it's not due until 6/1/2009 to be counted.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

1. What was the planned count date range that did not show the one A material and the range that did?
I originally ran the count for 5/6/2009 - the A item was not included
When I extended my date range to 5/6/2009 to 8/30/2009, the item was included, however it wasn't due to count until 6/1/2009, and it was being placed on a physical inventory count sheet for that future date.
2. What other checks and values are you using in MICN?
Selection Criteria:
plant - 3020
Storage Location - 0001
Material Group - KIDD
materials marked for deletion - checked
Stock Level:
materials w/o zero stock -checked
Data in Phys Inv Doc Header:
Date 5/6/2009
Batch Input Session:
Issue Log - checked
Name of Session - MB_MI01_CN
Max. No. of Items - 333
Sort by:
Material Group - checked
Enter grouping criterion in doc header - checked
What is the stock level of this material?
52 unrestricted
I did find also that the consultant that configured our cycle counts made an error. The A items are set to count 2 times a year. But would that make a difference? I thought everything that wasn't counted and was in stock for that material group would show up.

A question about ABC analysis for Cycle counting

Hello expert,
What is RMCBIN00 used for? Currently, user asked me if we can copy RMCBIN00 and perform ABC analysis by quantity? I have no knowledge about it. Can any expert give some clue?
Thanks in advance,
Best Regards, Johnny

Hi
RMCBIN00 is a standard ABAP report available within your SAP system (depending on your version and release level). Below is the standard documentation available for this report and a few details of other objects it interacts with such as tables, function modules, includes etc. If you would like to see the full code listing simply enter the object name( RMCBIN00 ) into the relevant SAP transaction such as SE38 or SE80
RMCBIN00 - ABC Analysis of Cycle Counting (Physical Inventory)
PURPOSE
This report runs an analysis for the chosen material types in the cycle counting method of physical inventory.
FEATURES
The analysis takes into account the consumption (usage) or the requirements values of the selected materials for the desired time period. You can decide whether you want to analyze:
