Consignment Stock for Inventory Management

Posting as a new thread...
I have installed and loaded the Inventory Management Cube 0IC_03 in our development and quality systems. During testing we have found just one problem with Consignment Stock. The Stock Initialization (2LIS_03_BX) does not bring in an initial quantity (BWMNG) for any material flagged as a Consignment Stock (Stock Category = K, field BSTTYP).
My question - is there a good reason for this or is this a problem? It causes a problem with reporting, because balances are now off. Do I need to change how reporting is done for Consignment?
It seems to me that the BX extractor should be picking up the initial balance. I am trying to debug the code, but am getting a headache!
Any help would be appreciated!
Yes, I have reviewed the "How To..." documentation, but don't see anything regarding consignment stock.
We are at BW 3.0b Support Pack 25.
Lisa.

Thanks, Ken. I don't know that this note actually helped me, but I did another review of OSS notes. We have applied 3 of them (726485, 756151, 762219) and our consignment issue has been resolved.
Thanks for pointing me back in the right direction!
Lisa.

Unserialized for inventory management?

Hi,
why unserialized update for inventory management, why not direct update and delta queue.
regards
anitha.

Hi Anitha,
SAP Inventory Management system allows you to manage stocks on a quantity and value basis in order to plan, enter, check goods movements and carry out physical inventories.
Enables users to manage all the items purchased, manufactured, sold, or kept in stock. Services can also be defined as items, although they are relevant only for sales.
For each item, users enter the data relevant for a particular area in the system. This data is used automatically by the system for purchasing, sales, production, inventory management, and accounting.
Provides optimum support for business processes. Helps create orders, delivery notes, and outgoing invoices, automatically calculating prices, sales units, and gross profit. Enables complete control over stock quantities at all times and lets users analyze the financial aspects of stockholding at the same time. Allows users to control production on the basis of the items that are used for production and on the basis of the finished product and any by-products created.

Calculation of consignment stock for a material ( ABAP/MM)

HI,
I need information to find out consignment stock as per requirement. I doubt the requirement is not complete enough but they dont agree. I am using following logic.Please provide me your inputs.( i was asked to follow standard program logic of 'RM07MLBD')
1.I am retrieving material document no.s from MSEG with the movement types 631,632,633,634,701,702 and SOBKZ = 'W' for a particular reporting period for a material.
2. I filter them by checking date BUDAT in MKPF.
3. then i aggregate them taking SHKZG = 'S' or 'H' accordingly '+ ' or '-'.
And finally i Aggregate them for customers belonging to same state (REGIO)
but i am getting some negative values and incorrect entries.
what i am not able to understand is whether my selection criterion is wrong or aggregation of materials is wrong or if i am missing any other selection criterion? Your inputs are highly appreciated.
Thanks in Advance.
Shrini

Hi ,
Follow sample program RM07MKBS OR MB54 which display consignment stock for am material.
Please reward if useful.

Missing content for inventory management (cube 0IC_C03)

Hi everybody,
I installed the following BI content for inventory management: Cube 0IC_C03, InfoSource 2LIS_03_BX and transfer rules from data source 2LIS_03_BX to info source 2LIS_03_BX. However, I'm not able to the update rule from info source 2LIS_03_BX to info cube 0IC_C03. I can only find the old update rule 0IC_C032LIS_40_S278 -> 0IC_C03.
I also couldn't find the update rule for material movements from 2LIS_03_BF to infocube 0IC_C03.
How can I find this missing content. We are using BI Content Release 704 Level 1.
Thanks for your help!

Hi Oscar,
unfortunately, I was not able to find a transformation for the datasource migrated to 7.0.
Btw, how do I determine to which version data sources are replicated. I have an underlying ECC6.0 system. When I replicate all data sources for that source system, datasources automatically show up as 7.0. I'm missing the pop-up question whether or not I want to replicate as 3.5 or 7.0.
Thanks in advance!

Consignment stock for 2 customers

Hi all,
I'd like to know if it's possible to have a common consignment stock for two customers.
Thanks,
Julien

no.
Consigment stock is created individually at a customer number when you create a consignment fill-up, which is a sales order that has this customer as sold-to .
you reduce this consignment stock when you create a consignment issue, which is again a sales order with this certain customer.
You cannot bill create a delivery and a billing doc to customer B while you reduce consignmement stock at customer A.

Why do we use Unserialized V3 update for Inventory Management?

Hello Experts,
I have question on LO Cockpit extractor.
Why do we use Unserialized V3 update for Inventory Management (2LIS_03_BF) ?
Are there any reasons behind?
thanks a lot
Padma

Hi,
V3 gives you good performance and you use it when the order of data is not important they way it was posted in OLTP, this method is used.

Localization for Inventory Manager 4.0

Hi guys,
Do you have any documentation which explain how to configure the localization on Inventory Manager 4.0? or something similar. I need to configure Spanish as an alternative language for the mobile app, but I don't know what is the procedure to configure the spanish language for inventory manager? I guess I must copy the ini files from language packs... and put these files on the same location where the other files exist... but after that I don't know what else I should do...

ok Mark Pe & Stephen Streeter , I see it now... thank you !!! ... I have done what Bill Froelich commented on Localization in Syclo Agentry for Spanish and German ...
and when I saw the startup log it shows:
16:24:00 09/08/2014: Event: 20, 153, Finished loading Production application definitions for default localization
16:24:00 09/08/2014: Event: 20, 152, Loading Production application definitions for 'en' localization
16:24:03 09/08/2014: Event: 20, 153, Finished loading Production application definitions for 'en' localization
16:24:03 09/08/2014: Event: 20, 152, Loading Production application definitions for 'es' localization
16:24:07 09/08/2014: Event: 20, 153, Finished loading Production application definitions for 'es' localization
16:24:07 09/08/2014: Event: 20, 151, Finished loading Production application definitions using file "SAPIM-v1-0-0-app"
That seems to be fine... now it loads the localization (english and spanish as suggested on the other post), but when I enter to the device (physical device), the client still shows the labels in english.... The regional settings on the devices says Spanish (Venezuela).. Is this configuration on regional setting has something to do with the fact the labels still are shown in english??... the language is always like this: Spanish (Argentina), Spanish (Chile), Spanish (Venezuela)... It does not have only spanish...

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

Vendor Consignment stock or vendor managed stock

Dear All,
My client wants to manage vendor consignment stock.
Vendor will be given a area and vendor will keep the stock in his area. Based on the plan he will supply the stock.
the GR for rawmaterials will be made on the consumption report given by the production person. This activity will happen next day only. i will do the GR only to the quantity consumed.
for example if i consumed 100 qty, i will do GR only for 100 and vendor will issue invoice for 100. But when the vendor issue the stock, he will raise a excise invoice based on which i have to take excise credit. I want to know how to do the same.
secondly, i take credit for 100 qty, but actual consumption is 95 only, how do i reverse the 5 only excise invoice.
regards
ranga

No, it is possible to sell from vendor consignment stock directly and I have done it in ECC 6.0 (not IS-retail).
- Pls refer the note 607604.
- Establish the 'stock determination rule' in MM -> Inventory Management -> Stock Determination.
- You need to assign it to the material (MRP3 view) or assign it to item-ategory.
- DONOT mark the special stock indicator in item-category used in SD (e.g. TAN) with 'K'..I did this mistake and wasted some time. If you do, it will ask you to populate the Vendor field in the Delivery which is not available and you may get stuck up because of that.
This should make it work.
Pls award points if you find this information useful.

Stock Valuation - Inventory Management Cube

Dear Sap Gurus,
We have implemented the Inventory Management Cube in BW.
Quantities are correct, but we have difference on the stock valuation.
For some material stock value are correct, for some other they are not correct.
A saw a lot of OSS notes and how to on this subject, I am trying to solve this issue using these documents, but based on your experience could you explain me how you solved this issue ????
Thanks,

Hi
Did you follow the correct steps?
Initialisation of BX data in the first step.(Loading of Opening Stock)
Then The request in which the opening stock was loaded must always be
compressed with a marker update
Init load of BF And UM in the second step
The request in which the historical material documents were contained
must always be compressed without a marker update and
Successive delta uploads must always be compressed with marker
updates
Check this whether you have done this or not.
Because of missing the steps here also would give you wrong values,
Regards
Ram

Database design (ERD )for Inventory Management System

Dear All,
I am going to develop a simple Inventory Management System software using C# .NET for my learning. After searching different forums, many people have suggested to first create a database design for the software. I want a database design, in short, an ERD
diagram for simple Inventory Management System which shows proper entities(tables), attributes and relationship between entities.
It would be highly helpful for me as I am newbie to C# and databases.
Thanks,
momersaleem

Dear Rebecca,
Thanks for you suggestions.
As I am going to develop IMS for learning purposes so I think I wouldn't need to go in detail regarding Customer name and addresses. However, I am still thinking of adding country attribute in customers' table which I think will be helpful to sort out customers.
What's the difference between a purchase and an order? They're usually the same thing, which doesn't mean you're
wrong, but what are you picturing here? Purchase entity will be used to keep record of purchases you made and an order entity will be used to keep record of orders that cutomers placed.
Pricing:
Any order system needs to manage two very distinct bits of data that are easy to confuse. The price in the Product entity is the current
price. The price in the Order entity is the selling
price. Not at all the same thing--current price is almost certainly going to change over time. Selling price won't.
Does it mean that I'll change the price attribute for product to current_price and add selling_price to order table which will help to keep record of price at the time of order?
Why did you include a quantity field in the Products table? Is it meant to represent stock on hand?
Yes you are right. It represents stock in hand.
Could you please recheck the entities relationships as I am not confirmed whether these are correct or not?
Thanks,
momersaleem

Organization structure for Inventory management

Hi All,
I am looking for organization structure specific to inventory management and also data flow architecture.
If there is any standard org structure is available please share with me.
Regards
Vijay

I am looking for organization structure specific to inventory management and also data flow architecture.
> If there is any standard org structure is available please share with me.
Hi Vijay,
Standard Org Structure for IM starts with Plants and ends with Storage Locations. You can create required no of storage locations under your plants, where plants are assigned to company codes. Its always better to copy from master plant 1000/0001 while creating the plants where you can make changes during creation where required (factory calendar etc).
All the material movements within the plant happen between storage locations, material-material, special stocks-unrestricted stocks with no accounting effect.
Movements between the plants can be planned wrt your needs such as STO with no financial postings unless you have plant wise PCA
You can follow the standard avaiable structure for your IM org structure.

Return to Consignement stock for Return sales order

Hi,
For Home delivery Sales order- Sale is being performed from Vendor consignment stock & it works good with 601K movement .For Return in this case, Return sales order is created & PGR is performed against delivery.While doing this - the returned consignment material goes to unrestricted blocked stock. But we need this to go back to Consignment stock.
Can any one suggest a solution on this ?
Thanks in advance for quick solution, sharing your inputs
Krish

Standard movement types for processing returns in SD (651 to return stock, 653 to unrestricted, ...) are not capable to post to special stock K (consignment).
It would be probably best to use the reverse to normal issue - movement type 602 K, though I have never tried this scenario. This should work fine, so make sure the movement type in your returns order (entered in the schedule line category) is 602 (or a copy of 602).
If you still have problems (it is not 100% certain that the system will correctly determine the vendor for the consignment, and stock determination might not help either), then you can always alter the copy control order --> return order (if you are creating by reference), or try implementing BAdI - either LE_SHP_DELIVERY_PROC to enter the special stock indicator and vendor in the returns delivery item, or LE_SHP_GOODSMOVEMENT to modify the generated article document). But these are all non-standard solutions...
