Checking the stock in multiple plants by creating STO to fulfil an order.

Hi All,
The requirement is to do a Stock Transfer from different Plants for fulfillment of Configuration Order(putting together different components to make one product) which always be done at one central plant. When configuration order is created the Order Header requirement is always set to u2018Complete Deliveryu2019, which means that all the line items on the Order be delivered to the Warehouse in one delivery for Configuration completion.
There are multiple plants around the Central plant and the suggestion made was to create STO from other plants to the configuration plant whenever there is a shortfalls. Currently in legacy the STO process for meeting shortfall requirement is met through Automated STO. The system looks for inventory in nearby Plant in a Sequence until it finds the inventory in one of the Plant and not external Procurement is done for this configurable materials.
Is there any way that this can be configured in SAP from MRP or planning perspective to look for the stock in a sequence of plants specified? I know using a Special procurement key u201Cstock transferu201D under the MRP view in Material master but I was not completely clear on this process.
Can anyone provide me their thoughts on how to resolve this issue.
Regards
Shane

HI Csaba,
Thanks for your thoughts. Yes it is not possible to acheive this with in Materials management. It looks like APO has the in built functionality to handle these kind of scenarios.

How to consider the stocks of other plants in MRP run

Hello All,
I have a requirement in which A finished material which it´s planning and production is on PLANT 1 and and is transfered to plant 2 (there is no production and no planning on this plant, it is used for storage only). In that case, I would like the MRP to check the stock of finished material both in plant 1 and 2 for creating planned orders .
I know this can be possible with APO . but is there any other way round we can do this like MRP area or scope of planning or some z developemenmts.
Thanks in advance
Regards
Anupam Sharma

Is there any stock at production plant? Where does the goods issue to sales occur?
If both plants can have stock and sales can occurs in both plants then it is the issue not only stock but also sales order consumption with planned independent requirement. You need to have two BADI to do so. First is the one you mentioned and the flexible PIR also (MD_PIR_FLEX_CONS).
If only storage plant has stock and sales occurs here, then you may want to explore special procurement type produce in other plant and make storage plant a planning plant. The receipt of production order at production plant will posted into storage plant directly.
If sales occurs in storage plants, and there are stock in both plant, use special procurement type transfer from others (40 as standard). When you run MRP, the system will check stock at storage plant first, then if shortage, create stock transfer request to production plant. At production plant, the stock transfer request will be your demand to offset with stock there before create planned order.
Like other comments stated previously, SAP cannot handle the multiple plants planning very well.

ATP check against delivery with multiple plants

Hi all,
we have R/3 4.6c and APO 3.1 systems, this topic is related to ATP functionlity.
Our Existing ATP Practice in R/3:
1.sales are delivered via several Distribution Centers (DC).
2.The right DC is determined by a delivering plant which chosen during the order creation.
3.In case of ATP no planned receipts are taken into account.
4.When a product is not available at the determined DC it has to be checked manually if in any other DC is stock available which can deliver the customer in stead of the original DC.
5.If so the customer order (single order or scheduling agreement) has to be changed manually and the delivery can be created for the new chosen DC.
6.ATP is done during a delivery run, which happens 2 to 3 times a day.
7.Deliveries are only created for those orders where free stock is available.
Expectations from APO GATP:
At this point of time gATP should check in case of non available stock, is there an alternative DC available?
Is there enough stock available in the alternative DC to create the delivery?
Are all parameters available to be able to deliver this customer from the alternative DC?
In case everything is ok the order should be changed (delivering plant) and the delivery for the alternative DC needs to be created.
To avoid confusion order management people of the alternative DC have to be informed about that change.
It is grateful if any one look into this and suggest the solution in gATP?
And for better solution one can expect maximum reward points
Thanks in advance
-RK

Hi Ramkrishna,
As hemant rightly said we can do this with the help of RATP. But I think it will not take CTP scenario for planed orders as RATP is not compatible with CTP.
Rules can be set in rule maintainence. And as I understand u need only location substitution. Do remember to set rule type as "chain"
And if product is not available at alternate DC and if u want to start production (by triggering PPDS) then u can set this instructions in location determination activity.
Also now if u want the alternate DC to deliver the product then check the "create subitem" mark in check instructions. This will create subitem in sales order and will show delivery plant as the DC where product is available
hope this helps!

If physicaly checked the stock found zero. how to enter stock zero in systm

if physicaly checked the stock found zero. how to enter stock zero in system
thanx

Hi
You can follow the following physical Inventory transaction for updating ZERO stock in the system.
Please go with following transaction
MI01>Create physical inventory document>Enter Document Date>Planned count date>Plant Code>Storage Location>Click on Enter button>you will get the separate screen>Enter material code>and click on SAVE button (Ctrl+S)>you will get Physical inventory document number. (MI02-Use for delete)
(After getting Physical inventory document number you go with MIO4)
MI04>click on enter button>you will get "Enter inventory count screen>Enter Phys. inventory doc.no>Fiscal year>Count date>click on enter button>you will get separate screen>Enter physical qty>and click on save button ((Ctrl+S)>you will get massage from the SAPu201D Count entered for phys. inv. doc. 100000112"
(After completed above transaction you please go with MI07)
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
Thanks & Rgds,
Rajesh

Report to check the stock transfer through 303 mvt type

Hi,
I understand that the stock transfer can be done through two ways
1. Using 351 against UB PO and go MIGO using 101 --> Can be checked in the report MB5T, for stock in transit
2. Using 303 and 305 mvt type --> the stock lies in Stock trans(Plant)
When we do 303 mvt type, is there any standard report to check the stock in stock trans (Plant) ? Please let us know.

hello
for this you can use MB51 only. same report you can give the movement types as 313 & 315.

Check the Stock of a particular material is available in SAP R/3 from Java

Hi all,
We have both SAPR/3 and Java Based Systems and going to integrate with XI.
For Java user is it possible to check the Stock of a particular material is available in SAP R/3 system or not.
For this requirement can we create any scenario and get the stock available info from SAPR3?
If so then which type of adapters we have to use in this case.
The Java user don't want to store any data here and there but just view the stock is available or not just from his end only.
bye
regards
konala

You can use synchronous Java Proxy-XI-RFC.
Code the RFC to get the stock of R/3 material and route the response back to proxy.

Extending the material to multiple plants

Hello Experts,
I am trying to extend the material to multiple plants and storage locations based on the source material storage locations.
I am retrieving the data from mard and marc table to check whether that material is already got extended to the given plant.
I am putting one check in the program to check the material is extended to given plant or not? If the material is already extended then i need to check whether it got extend to the given plant and storage location combinations.
Can anyone give me some idea how to go with it...
Here I am giving piece code where I got stuck.....
READ TABLE RT_MARC
               TRANSPORTING NO FIELDS
               WITH KEY MATNR = LW_DATA-MATNR
                        WERKS = LW_DATA-IBL
                                 BINARY SEARCH.
    IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
      MESSAGE I468 WITH LW_DATA-MATNR LW_DATA-IBL.
      CLEAR : LW_DATA.
      CONTINUE.
    ENDIF.
In IT_MARC I am getting the storage locations related to the source material for the given plants. How to verify this to check of the target plants with the combination of storage locations.
In the above code after sy-subrc = 0 I need to check for the storage location combination also. I can't retrive the storage locations related to the target plants intially into IT_MARC.
Waiting for your response.

Hi , Thanks for the reply.
But the plants for which data is automatically getting populated , I am selecting only the Foreign Trade view and not all the views.

What is the table to find the Stock-in-Transit Quantity of a STO ?

Hi
What is the table to find the Stock-in-Transit Quantity of a STO ?
Thanks
Maruthi
Edited by: MARUTHI RAM on May 12, 2009 3:00 AM

no table, it is calculated from goods issues done in delivery and goods receipt done in the PO.
You can find the values of goods issue and receipt in extra records in table EKBE

Report to check the stock transfer goods receipts

Hi,
We do stock stansfer from plant to plant using UB PO type and using 351 and then do the MIGO for Goods receipt.
User would like to check the list of Goods receipt done from a specific plant XYZ, HOW to check this? as there is no option available in MB51 for the supplying plant.

There's no standard report which fully covers your requirement. If MB51 is no acceptable for you, you have to create your own report. E.g.
- SQ01/SQ02 --> using data tables MKPF & MSEG
- you can also copy MB51 (MB51 --.> ZMB51; program: RM07DOCS) and modify it according to your requirement (add desired field(s) to selection screen and layout.
/issuing plant is stored in MSEG-UMWRK/
