Concept of Snapshot method in inventory

Can anyone please help me understanding the concept of Snapshot inventory loading in BW??
What is the technique used on a broad level??
I tried to read how to inventory pdf but, im not easily getting the essense of it.In that doc, market update method is a bit clearly explained.But for Snapshot, it was just told to follow some steps (process1,2,3,4,5 etc).
Can anyone please explain the concept? i will give him accordingly if i really understand.

Shambu,
I wanted the technique used in BW.
I can understand what is meant by snapshot but, i wanted the process logic using ODS,cube which is done in BW under the name "Snapshot method to handle inventory technique"
The link u have provided just gives the business meaning of snapshot.

Hi Experts,
Thanks for answer but my problem is something diffrent.
for snap shot scenario for inventory management while creating update rules from infosource 2LIS_03_BF to snap shot infocube
i want to write routine for the non-cumulative key figures i m only getting the outflow and and the inflow infoobject for mapping.
though when i was creating update rules for same infosource and snap shot dso i got all the non-cumulative key figure and their outflow and inflow infoobject in the update rules.
please tell me how to get non-cumulative key figures in update rules.

Could you please send me the material Opps concepts Classes and Methods

Hi Experts,
I am working on Opps concepts.I am new to this concept.
Could you please send me the detailed presentation on Abap oops.
Thanks inadvance,
Regards,
Rekha.

Hi this will help u.
OOPs ABAP uses Classes and Interfaces which uses Methods and events.
If you have Java skills it is advantage for you.
There are Local classes as well as Global Classes.
Local classes we can work in SE38 straight away.
But mostly it is better to use the Global classes.
Global Classes or Interfaces are to be created in SE24.
SAP already given some predefined classes and Interfaces.
This OOPS concepts very useful for writing BADI's also.
So first create a class in SE 24.
Define attributes, Methods for that class.
Define parameters for that Method.
You can define event handlers also to handle the messages.
After creation in each method write the code.
Methods are similar to ABAP PERFORM -FORM statements.
After the creation of CLass and methods come to SE38 and create the program.
In the program create a object type ref to that class and with the help of that Object call the methods of that Class and display the data.
Example:
REPORT sapmz_hf_alv_grid .
Type pool for icons - used in the toolbar
TYPE-POOLS: icon.
TABLES: zsflight.
To allow the declaration of o_event_receiver before the
lcl_event_receiver class is defined, decale it as deferred in the

DRQ: Specific Identification Method for Inventory Valuation

This is a request to incorporate the features of Specific Identification Method (or Actual Cost) of Inventory Valuation for Serial Number / Batch Number controlled items.
Found lots of threads in the Forum regarding this topic, but could not able find out any answer from SAP.
Sometimes back, myself posted the same thread, but got reply that Navision has this features please use that.
Hope SAP Team has enough knowledge about this method of valuation, that is why I am not giving any example.
If require I can provide enough example on this topic.
Thanks & Regards
Anjan Bhowmick

Hi Peter,
This is the same requirement we need in mexico. What do you mean with "Next major releases"?
In other words, this requirement is not going to be consider for next version 8.8?
Waiting for your response.

Inventory Management, New Snapshot Scenario

We are planning to implement the New Snapshot scenario for Inventory Management. This is based on the "How to...." document. As per what is shown in the document, all the 3 extractors feed into the same DSO. However, when I try to create the Update Rules for <b>BX</b>, I get a error that there is no key figure. However, the DSO (Standard) has the Key figures. These are cummulative. Maybe, because of that I get the error when I create update rules for BX. But then, in the document the key figures appear. How is this possible.
Has anyone tried this and has been successful. If so, I'd appreciate if you could send some tips.
Thanks

hello
can you please take a screenshot of your data model and update rules (inside) and send me to (see email in card)
It will really help me!

Inventory Management - Snapshot Scenario

Hi,

the logic seems to be incomplete. Has anyone implemented this scenario. Please let me know what is the missing piece.
Thanks

I am only in design phase. I have post this message because the How to guide is old and I would know if someone have find a new solution ( with less step to reduce development phase).
As not recent solution is provided, I use the how to guide and adapt because I have more indicator to implement in my solution.

How to adjust wrong posting sales return a/c in FIFO method

Hi,
My customer is running 2005A PL23. They are using FIFO costing method and Inventory is posted based on "Item Group". They had pointed Sales Credit in Item Group\Accounting tab to Return Inwards GL accounts rather than back to Inventory account. As such when they view Inventory audit report, summarized by account. The cumulative value figure in inventory audit report does not match with the GL inventory account.
Any idea how to do the adjustment?
Regards
Thomas

Hi,
Since the item cost is not affected in this scenario, you can post a JE as below to fix the problem.
Debit Inventory account
Credit Inwards GL account

Inventory managment Snap Shot scenario.Urgent

Hi,
I am doing snapshot scenario for inventory management in BI 7.0. , when i am doing that i have small doubt , as said in stepo by step process of that document i am doing, for the non-cumulative key figures we need to use cumulative key figures as inflow and out flow.
my question is when we create transformation i could not see my non-cumulative key figures where in i am supposed to write routines at traansformations level, i could see only cumulative key figures.
Can any one give me idea why it is happned.
i am using ODS and as well as cube.
Regards
Ram

You need not to write any routine or do any assignment for non-cummulative kyf.
In the definition of non-cummm kyf u have already defined inflow and out flow which will take care. U may not also see the data for non-cumm kyf in display data of ods but in report u will see the data.

Manage stock qty. in Storage bin for Inventory management

HI all,
We are implemented Inventory Management (display stock of material for storage location).
I want to know is there any method in Inventory Managment to Manage stock of specific material in bin also.
Means User exactly should know the stock of specific material is located in Storage Bin.
Please suggest me the hole process or any customization
Regards,
Vraj

Hi V raj,
I don't know whether i understood your question well. But i will answer in the way i understood.
To serve your requirement you need to have a Warehouse management, means to have a smooth warehouse bin wise storage.
But some companies are not willing to implement WM and they are finding a way with batch classification. They maintain batches for material and storage bin are maintain in a batch classification. So you can view it in MMBE also by going into the batch classification of the relevant batch.
And if you want to have a detail report you can develop a simple report or a query to retrieve batch classification data.
For batch classification activation:
1. Material must maintain "Batch management" tick in Purchasing and storage plant data views
2. Create a seperate class for this using CL02
3 Create batch characteristic using CT04 (this is to maintain Storage Bin)
4. Add classification view to each material and the relevant batch class.
5. When you are doing the GR use "Batch" tab and "Classification" button to maintain relevant Storage bin data. (To update mass scale you can create a "Z" report getting help of a developer in your company)
6. Now each batch you are maintained your storage bin view it trough MMBE (But only one batch classification) or in-house developed report ("Z") program
Thanks & BR

Inventory Write Down FIFO

Hi
Our business is in the Fashion Industry and we need to regularly write down the value of our stock. We wish to write down the value of our stock for our year end accounts to 31/12/2014 and then each month using a fixed percentage. We use FIFO as the valuation method for inventory.
One option that I am aware of is manually doing this using the Inventory Revaluation function. This is not viable as we have thousands of products each with multiple layers as we use the FIFO method of valuation. It would take hours to complete and the risk of error would be high.
Another option that I am aware of is using the Data Workbench but our providers have advised us that this is very cumbersome and therefore the risk of error is high too.
So I am looking for a viable solution whereby I can write down our stock value by say 35% for year end 31/12/2014 and then 3% per month after that. The write down at 31/12/2014 should produce the following postings on our TB assuming a pre-adjusted stock level of €1,000,000:
CR Stock (Bal Sheet) €350,000
DR Stock Revaluation (P&L) €350,000
Many thanks in advance for your help
Richard

Hi Robert,
As manual process is not favorable by you so only option left is to build a small add on to fulfill your requirement.
If in case of add on all you need to do is to open inventory revaluation form everyday and depends on logic set, system with list all the item with new price and you just need to click on add button.

Chintan

BAPI diff Method in ABAP class

Dear friends
Coul any1 tel me hw BAPI differed frm a method whic used in an ABAP class , BAPI is also a method of a BOR.
And is it possible to replace a BAPI using a method of an ABAP class..
cheers
sakthi

Hello Sakthi
The concept of BOR methods is purely semantic and has nothing to do with ABAP-OO.
The so-called method of business objects are implemented by BAPIs.
The cannot be replaced by ABAP class methods. In particular, BAPIs are RFC-enabled whereas class methods cannot (yet) be called remotely.

"inventory account is not defined, 'gar-010-0071520' message 173-77"
we have tried and checked different solutions in their test database, and we are still getting this error.
thank you

Hi Jill,
You can refer to Note No. [1090171|https://websmp130.sap-ag.de/sap(bD1odSZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/sapnotes/index2.htm?numm=1090171]
part for your issue :
"Expense and Inventory Account (in Purchasing tab -> General tab)- this account is used only for the Moving Average Valuation method when Inventory items are drawn from A/P Invoice into A/P Credit Memo and there is a difference between the item price in the base document and the item price in the target document. In such case the Inventory account is being credited for the original itemprice as appears in the A/P Invoice and the Expense and Inventory account is debited for the price difference between the Inventory posting and the item price in the A/P Credit Memo. In addition, this account is used for the following scenarios: A/P Credit Memo based on goods returns and A/P Credit Memo based on A/P Reserve invoice."
Hope above will help.

Call view1 method from view2

Hi all,
I have two different views in two different windows. View1 opens a pop-up window which contains view2.
I would like to execute view1 methods from view2 (pop-up). How can I achieve this?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
No its not possible to access the method of a view from the component controller as in this case the same concept lies that methods are local to view only.
There is no upward compatibility.

FIFO to weighted Average method

Hi Gurus
my client want to switch from FIFO to Weighted Average method in INVENTORY,can someone please assist as to what the possible issues that might arise,the step or any procedure that need to be followed and as to whether is safe to make that change.
your assistance will be greatly appreciated

Hi Chithra,
I'm a bit confused by your question. FIFO is just an inventory management method, while moving average price is simply a way SAP calculated the value of the stock. How is your company keep track of the inventory value in FIFO? What kind of calculation or formula does your company apply to get the month-end closing value? There shouldn't be much impact, I think. Because, at the initial stage, you will be using the value from old system, upload it to SAP to use it as opening value for your stock.
Thanks and regards,
Anisah
