Clearing up negative stock approach during month end

Dear all,
I have a question with regards to how to clear up negative stock during month end.
Currently our system allows negative stock due to our company process requirement. However, these negative stocks will need to clear-up by finance or warehouse during month end.
May I know what is the best approach (including tcode, and business process) for this activity?
Thanks.

regarding your point 2: it is not possible to clear negative stock with phyiscal inventory, as you cannot even create a inventory document if you have negative stocks.

Asset Under Construction(AUC),During month end settlement run(via KO8G)

Hi Guys ,
please hlep on this AUC :
During month end settlement run (via tcode KO8G), if there are -ve (credit) values to be settled to an Asset Under Construction (AUC) asset which does not have sufficient +ve value in the current FY, the settlement run will prompt an error message "Balance for transaction type group 10 negative for the area 01". The TT posted via the settlement run is TT115. To get around, user has to raise a manual journal (via doc type AT) to post the -ve value to the same AUC asset via TT101. TT 115 and 101 are configured differently (see attached).
Since the Fixed Assets system does accept credit posting to AUC via a journal, is there a solution to make posting go through via the settlement run?
Regards,
Narra

You can settle the AUC value in one period and posting can be made in another period. in the same you can give the different asset value date in KO88 screen. The only limitation is this possible only if the fiscal year is same.
Give the asset value date as 15.07.2007 in KO88
Hope this will work

Negative stock at vendor end location

Hi all,
Today I found a material showing negative stock in a vendor end location.
Negative stock indicator flag is not set for that material and negative stock setting also haven't made.
The movement that led to negative stock is 543 O.
I dont know how to solve this problem.
Kindly advise me in this regard.
Regards,
Viswanath babu

Apparently negetive stock is allowed at this location. It is a setting in config. If you know the material document that caused it(use MB51), reverse that document using MIGO or MBST. As far as the setting is concerned, you need someone to change the setting if it should not be allowed.

After CO month end -- Need to solve quickly

Dear all,
We have a scenario in sales order costing with sale order is cost object with valuated stock
Major issue is after running month end in CO, client is checking a Z-report which is developed for cost of sales
In this report client is checking profit and loss statement for the month of JAN 2012 which should show net profit of SAR 2 million instead of current net loss of SAR 4 million for the sales of SAR 9 million.
The major problam lies with inventry change in account whic is showing negative balance of SAR 7 million in the profit and loss account.
When I checked WIP in KKAO system is showing WIP(cumulative is zero) and WIP ( period ) is showing negative balance..
For the some of the orders I am still able see the amount with negative sign in the WIP ( period ) column of the report after order status as delivered..
In the Z-report system is showing change in inventry account amount as (7 millions)..
WIP calculation is at actual cost
Scenario:
Client create sales order only for make order no stock..
Production order are created with reference to sale order..
For each production there will multiple production orders in a single header production order
Some times client is issuing materials at header order directly instead of each order level..
some times issuing only material with no actual activies and taking GR from order then it flows to header order..
Please provide your valueble inputs as it is very urgent for the client..
Thanks,
Janki

Direct Posting of Sales in FI and month end closing

Dear Experts
I learnt that :
Sales Direct Entries may be posted in FI without posting in SD/MM.
Sales entries must always be posted only through SD process. If this is NOT done (for example freight rate received from third party freight forwarders), then only FI people should know how to reconcile and NOT sd people. Hence I recommend posting your query in FI forum after closing this thread.
Regards,
My question is , during month-end closing how should FI or accounting address the above direct posting issues?
Apparently, such practice is not right.
There is no trace of the sales in SD MM. There is no corresponding billing doc in SD MM but found in FI .
How should this situation be handled as best practice?
I am BI person but found this issue with FI data not reconciled with SD MM.
I am not sure how the month-end closing was done when there is such data. Yes, the problem was found AFTER month was closed and I loaded the data to BI.
best regards
Pascal

Dear Sirs
What is the fastest easiest way to find out which FI direct entries were posted without corresponding Sales / Billing documents created ?
Is there any standard report or reports available in oss?
Currently, our other interfacing systems are having problem with data due to direct entries where there is no corresponding Sales / Billing docs posted. This is causing a lot of time investigating what entries caused the reconciliation problem.
Your help would make my life easier.
Thanks!

Pascal

Product cost collectord during period end

As I am aware that the actual product is the Product cost collector during the month end process. We always do the reporting in header level.
During month end process lets take a scenario here..
Scenario 1:
For manufacturing a product for example take the Yeild quantity=1
We create a Goods Receipt using moment type 101.
And we also have a Goods Receipt for and order using moment type 261. (Consumption of goods from warehouse)
During month end how will be we reporting through product cost collectors and it is not showing as WIP .
Scenario 2:
For the same as above
we divide them into 2 operations then while reporting it is showing as WIP?
Is there any difference in both
Because even in the scenario 1 or scenario 2... I hope it should be showing WIP.
Please guide me ...
Thanks

Hi,
In the SAP standard (as per the transaction codes indicated by you) it is not possible to include multiple plants. Either you have to execute for one Plant or for all plants. Probably, in Test run you can execute for all Plants and check the results, and then decide.

Gr/ir clearing in month end

hi
in case of gr/ir why should do gr/ir clrg in month end in f.13.
up getting vendor invoice ,it should be credit ,other than what will happen here plz tell me clearly
thank u
sowmya

Hi,
Quantity differences between goods receipt and invoice receipt for a purchase order result in a balance on the GR/IR clearing account.
If the quantity invoiced is larger than the quantity received, the system then expects further goods receipts for this purchase order to clear the balance.
If the quantity received is larger than the quantity invoiced, the system then expects further invoices for this purchase order to clear the balance.
You can also clear differences for delivery costs.
If no more goods or invoices are to be received, you must clear the balance manually.
Thanks,
Rau

Dear,
During the creation of new batch of material batch valuation , a "-"ve price is determined.the Symptom occurs under the following circumstances.
. Negative stocks are allowed
. The material to be handled in batches and subject to individual batch valuation
. A new batch and thus a valuation type may be automatically created during the posting of goods movement
. The material is valuated with moving average price
. At the time of posting the total of the values was positive for all valuation segments(Batches), But on the other hand the entire valuated stock was -ve or batch is -ve and stock is +ve.
. During the posting no external value was assigned for Ex from purchase order or from a production order or thru a manual entry.
After the posting of DOC which can result in the following problem
1) The posting of doc causes a data inconsistency Between MM and FI. The Gl A/Cs is posted in the credit while the value of the stock segment (Batch) is increased

How to end use omj1 i.e. negative stock customization

dear gurus,
how to end use omj1 i.e. negative stock customization
thanks in advance

Hi,
Ideally not recommended.
Still if you wish to go for it, follow the steps indicated below:
1) Go to OMJ1 and select the box against the respective plant
2) Also go to TCode OMSY, Tick the box "ABP" (Allow Back Posting) for your Company Code, so that you can control postings in the closed period.
3) And finally, go to material master and select Plant data/ Storage2 view, tick the box "Neg. stocks in Plant".

Clear the negative from stock in transit

Hello,
I am looking at transit stock and have several cases where for intercompany PO the delivery has been created and GI'd but the receiving plant makes excess GR for the actula qty hence creating negative stock in transit. Apart from asking the origin plant to create a delivery + PGI. what other solution would be available to clear the differences?
Thank you.
Sai

Hi
This happens because as you say the receiving plant have received more than was on the delivery, However if they actually have the stock I personally thik that is what they should do to keep the stocks correct.
In theory you should have stock showing in the sending plant that you do not have as the receiving plant has it and so to keep the stocks correct and to keep the finances correct you should raise another delivery for the extra stock (on the same PO/STO doc) and when you issue it the negative will dissappear.
Remember ALL negatives appear fror a reason and should not be just 'cleared' without some investigation.
In this case you know the answer so you can ;fix' it
I hope that this helps
