Continuous stock definition

Hi to all
Nowadays in SAP BO 2007 A there some basis initialization as "Use Continuos Stock" that is a global definition for company.
Since we have now the G/L Account Determination per Period, why not include also this defition related to Continuous Stock?
We have an issue that we have because in Portugal related to Continuous Stock.
In our legal system not all companies have to use Continuous Stock, but could be mandatory so some companies start without continuous stock but for some legarl issues must change to Continuous Stock.
Now what we do here is the creation of new database with the new Basis Initialization.
So if we have this definition in G/L Account Determination it will not be necessary to create a new database.
Comment pleasethis issue.

Vasco Silva

Hello,
Thank you for this interesting request.
As you know continuous and non-continuous stock (aka perpetual and periodic) inventory valuation concepts are completely different in regards to posting rules and valuation during the year. It is hardly a question of single switch. Therefore to implement control to change how company valuates stock requires huge development effort.
You have noticed correctly posting period selection on G/L Account Determination form. This was implemented as 'current period' concept was left in 2007 version making user work more flexible. G/L Account Determination were set per posting periods even before the 2007 version but this was controlled by 'current period' switch.

Continuous stock: whs movement not change Accounts and Costs?

Dear all,
our customer XYZ has a SAP B1 9.0 continuous stock company.
He needs to manage the goods (articles) he sells to one of his customer C0001 in a specific SAP B1 warehouse W1.
The goods are already invoiced and delivered but our customer XYZ doesn't ship them immediately (he holds the articles in one his warehouse W1 and wait for specific orders by C0001).
Our customer XYZ needs to know how many articles he has in the W1 warehouse, but he doesn' want SAP B1 makes any sort of registration on Balance Accounts and ProfitAndLoss Accounts when a Goods Receipt on W1 is created.
Also, most important, the cost of the article vave not to change when Goods Receipt on W1 is created.
Is it possible to solve this request in a SAP B1 continuous stock company?
Please, can someone help me?
Best regards
Emanuele

Hi Emanuele,
I am afraid B1 can't support this process directly. A work around is to send customer reserved invoice instead. Delivery should be hold until received customer's order.
If you want to have W1 not counting them, it is not possible.
Thanks,
Gordon

How To Hide In Stock/Out Of Stock System Wide?

Hi,
We are selling items that are setup as Bills of Material. The problem is that they always show as Not In Stock on the website. This is because the stock levels come from OITM (Items in B1) and for BoMs the matching item in B1 does not get a stock level. Since the item stock level is the one used in Web Tools, I would simply like to hide any warnings about items being 'Not In Stock' because it's not an accurate statement. I know the customer can still place an order but it might make someone change their mind about ordering an item if they 'think' it's not in stock.
Is there any system wide setting to hide all stock level indications and warnings about out of stock items?
Thanks,
David Wall

Hello David,
This is possible, but it is a couple of steps:
1) In windows explorer navigate to c:\inetpub\wwwroot\b1webtools\catalog\controls\ and open up partpriceblock.ascx with a text editor such as note pad. You want to modify the following lines by putting comment marks around them like this (HTML comment marks are )
     
For the instock/out of stock and

To hide the inventory count.
2) You will also need to modify the cart.aspx page which can be found in c:\intepub\wwwroot\b1webtools\commerce\ like this:
                
3) And lastly the cartdetaillistblock.ascx control which can be found in the controls folder of the above stated directory. Modifying as shown below:

It should also be noted than an upgrade will overwrite these changes, but in the majority of situations you can reuse the modified ASPX/ASCX pages by overwriting the newer pages with the older modified pages.
Hope this makes sense.
Kind Regards,
James

Dear Workflow expert,
I have customized the standard leave request workflow to a 2 level approval workflow. However, sometimes the workflow will suddenly stop without any error and I need to go to tcode SWPC (execute workflow after system crash) to continue the workflow.

Continuous production system

Hi,
i am working in a production environment where, production process is Continuous.
like there will not be batch wise production, production process keep on running and the component items will be consumed regularly and the finished goods will be produced on continuous basis.
being there is no planned qty for the finished goods, there will not be planning for components to be issued. it is a round the clock process, how to map this in B1

Hi Nagaraju,
Production Flow
1. Raw Material -> Production Order-> Production Order (Planned)
2. Production Order (Released)->Manual (Issue Component)->Issue for Production (Issue from stock).
3. Production Order (Released)->Report Completion->Receipt From Production (Enters in Stock)->Production Order (Closed).
4. If Raw Material is back flushed then -> Production Order (Released)->Report Completion->Back flush (Automatic Issue Component).
Production Order Process
1. Issue a production order.
By default the order opens with Planned status.
2. Create production orders either automatically from MRP Recommendations, or manually according to Sales Orders.
3. An authorized staff member changes the status of the production order to Release.
Once released, the production order is available to shop floor staff.
4. Release the child items (with a manual issue method) from inventory using the Issue for Production method.
Child items with a backflush issue method are issued automatically for the production order.
5. Report the completion of the parent item in the Receipt from Production Window.
6. Change the production order status to Closed.
You can do this at any time Planed Quantity Change of Production Order.
You can do this at any time Issue Quantity Change of Production Order as per your requirement.
May it will help you for further discussion.
Thanks,
Srujal Patel

Stock value in Stock Valuation Report

Does anyone know how you shouid use the stock cost shown by the Stock Valuation Report?
I am looking at a database which uses standard costing, and trying to use the Stock Valuation Report to see what the stock value would be at Moving Average.
Some of the records on the Stock Valuation Report have a zero stock quantity but a stock cost (supposedly Moving Average) and a stock value. There are also records with neagtive stock costs and values.
I have found SAP Notes which confirm that you can get stock values where there are zero quantities. However if you ignore the zero quantity liines, is the Moving Average cost shown accurate or is it the case that this report is essentially useless if you have a continuous stock system?
Regards,
Douglas

Hi Douglas,
I found this in one the SAP Notes.
Symptom
In the Stock Audit Report, generated for a specific warehouse, a value is shown in the 'Cumulative Value' column even if the item does not have quantity.
Other terms
Inventory Audit Report, Stock Audit Report, warehouse, cumulative, value, zero, quantity, average cost, System Initialization, per company, use perpetual inventory, SAP Business One
Reason and Prerequisites
Consulting
Solution
The 'Manage Item Cost per Warehouse' setting in the Administration -> System Initialisation -> Company Details -> Basic Initialisation tab determines the information displayed in the Stock Audit Report.
When this option is selected, each warehouse defined in SAP Business Onemaintains its own cost. This warehouse cost is calculated whenever there is a movement of the item in the specific warehouse.
When this option is not selected, a single cost is maintained for the item per company. This cost is determined by the movement of the item within all warehouses.
SAP Business One uses the calculated costs to reduce the inventory value when stocks are issued. If the cost is managed by warehouse, then,the item cost will be from the specific warehouse where the stocks are issued; otherwise, the item cost will be the single cost.
With the difference between the specific warehouse's and the entire warehouses' costs, there is a possibility that costs remain in the specific warehouse even if the quantity is already zero. In this scenario, viewing the Stock Audit Report per warehouse may not provide accurate cumulative value of the stock in that warehouse since the valuation is a combination of different warehouses. The Stock Audit Report then can be used to check the quantities per warehouse. If the valuation of the stock is needed, the report must be generated for all warehouses
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Joseph

Stock Revaluation By SDK

If I add manually in stock revaluation document It is added successfully. What can be reason? Plz tell me.
Regards
Gorge

Hi Gorge,
This is what is written in the DI help file..
MaterialRevaluation is a business object that enables you to update the items' price (average price or standard price only), revaluate the stock, and create journal entries accordingly.
This object applies only to companies that manage their stock using Continuous Stock system.
Hope it helps,
Vasu Natari.

Getting error during posting A/P invoice and A/P credit memos

We are intermittently getting this error during A/P invoice.
       When i am doing the full cycle of Purchase like
        Purchase Order
        Goods Receipts PO
       A/P. Invoice.
     At the time of A/P. Invoice the date has been coppied from the Goods Receipt's PO, i am getting the error, this error not comes regularly, only for few transcations,
     Please guide to me.
         Error is
       " No matching records found 'G/L Accounts' (OACT) (ODBC-2028)
                              Message 131 - 183 "
          Patch level is 27 and version is 2005B

Hello Prasad,
Before add A/P invoice, are you changing the price to a lower price, either by changing amount in the 'price' column or by giving a higher discount at the header level ? As far as I know, in a non continuous stock system company with the 'Use Negative Amount for Reverse Transaction' setting not ticked.
Another solution could be as follows (just check in your SAP B1 installation) :
When the user chooses User Defined Chart of Accounts under Administration -> System Initialization -> Company details -> Basis Initialization tab , the default accounts remain in the "G/L Account Determination", "Define Tax", "Define Warehouse" windows under Administration -> Definitions -> Financials and Administration -> Definitions -> Inventory. User has to check and define all accounts.
My reference is SAP notes 771489.
Another related issue is whether you are using rounding when adding a marketing document. If yes, you must define rounding account in 'Administration' > 'System Initialization' ->'G/L Account Determination' -> 'General' tab page under "Rounding Account" field.

Moving Average does not base on Posting Date??

Hi All,
I got the problem with moving average, seem that the Posting Date is ignored when posting Sales document or purchase document,and moving average does not calculated correctly.
The system only calculated the moving average
based on the input seq, and the posting
date is ignored??
does anyone know its normal? or any
setting can change the behavior?
or any system auto adj?
thanks
Chris

Hi Chris,
This is standard functionality of SAP Business One.
Please consider that system works with Continuous Stock System option enabled. This causes, that each item receipt have direct impact on MAP.
Of course you have possibility to turn this off (before first posting), however then you will not have postings to the stock account, but to the revenues and expenses. In this case also MAP is not handled by the system.

Maciek

Inventory Revaluation

I need detail information about inventory revaluation, like Tutorial process , import data from DWT , and also how we can do it, and also solution for following matter :Now we have some problem in balance of inventory account, some of them has negative value (Credit) because we register opening voucher by zero for inventory accounts however they have Items and when they issued the item, the account became credit , and now we are going to fix them , so I think the best way is Inventory revaluation but I donu2019t know how can I do this process,
Thanks

hello Farhadn,
The first place where to start looking for documentation is the SAP Business One Customer Portal:
https://websmp105.sap-ag.de/smb/sbocustomer
Here please
- search for the Release 2004 and
- then for How to guide 2004 A & 2004.2 B.
Last, open the docuement:
Continuous Stock System in Release 2004 A and search for material revaluation.
For information regarding the DTW, I would suggest to use the SDK helpfile.
Also, can you please explain the issue you have come across again. I am sorry but I do not understand it. Are you trying to carry out a stock revaluation and it is not working?
Thank you for your update.

Moving average in B1

Dear All,
May i know how to calcuate the moving average in B1? can i custom it or it is already set in the system that i cannot change it ?
Many thanks!

Hi,
Moving average valuation method calculates the inventory value by the item's cost price. The item's Cost Price field is found in Inventory --> Item Master Data --> Inventory Data tab page. This field is updated dynamically by every stock receipt posting.
The example provided by Gordon is okay.
To know more here is a general info about several inventory valuation methods:
http://accountinginfo.com/study/inventory/inventory-120.htm
From SAP, there is a pdf file named continuous stock system in release 2004A. It explained about continuous stock system by Moving average, FIFO and standard cost in B1 and so on.you could download it from this link:

DTW-problem using Business Obj: oStockTaking and Template: StockTaking

Hello Experts,
I am getting problem in using SotckTaking data upload, It uploaded the data using the above said template and Business Object option using DTW.
But neither I could see it in Inventory Audit Report or Stock Posting. where I can see my uploaded data ... ?
Thanks

StockTaking will not post entries to Inventory instead it updates stock as counted and you should perform reconciliation to update the stock.
Please refer the following information that is extracted from following threads:
Re: wants put stock opening balance through DTW
You could import the inventory counts using the Stock Taking template and the prices can be imported along with the Items using the template Items_Prices (inside folder oItems)
In the Inventory Reconciliation Tab select the pricelist number you have imported the prices (cost) in the above step and RECONCILE
The SAP document, 'Data Migration and Opening Balances Implementation Guide.pdf' states the following: Page No: 14:
Load Inventory Beginning Balances via DTW
In the workbench, the process contains 2 stages:
1. Loading of the initial quantities for all items using the Stock Taking object in the DTW.
2. Perform Stock Posting manually using Inventory u2192 Inventory Transactions u2192 Beginning Quantities and Cycle Counting u2192 Stock Posting. This stage will create the stock transaction and the appropriate Journal Entry to reflect the stock value in the GL.
In the stock posting, the same rules apply for determination of the item cost prices as in manual process.
The quantities you loaded will appear as counted. For the beginning quantities, the difference should be zero.
Make sure the date is set for the day you go live.
o The increasing and decreasing accounts are defaulted from the G/L account determination. For the beginning balances only, you should overwrite these accounts with the opening balance account.
o If you donu2019t use the Continuous Stock System, only quantity transactions will be created, no journal entries.
Since the stock accounts are affected, you must consider these amounts when creating the G/L opening balances.
If a variance remains after reconciliation between SAP Business One and the legacy system, for example, due to different prices, you have to correct this difference manually.

Satish
