Create Stock Category

How can I create a new stock category?
Right now we have 4 separate categories....
1 - First
2 - Second
C - Closeouts
S - Samples
Where in SAP can I create a NEW category?  (example: "3 - Third")

Yes I have, I've created multiple characteristics using the "Chars Group" "AFS characteristics for categories" under the Basic Data section of the Basic Data tab.
Unfortunately, none of them show up under Category Structures or Coverage Strategies in SPRO.
How exactly do I edit the settings of a coverage strategy in SPRO?  There does not appear to be any options availbale when a coverage strategy is selected.  Is this something that is taken care of under CT04?  Or am I not understanding how a coverage strategy works?  What is the difference between a Characteristic and a Catagory Structure and how can I edit or change the settings of a catagory structure?

  • Made a UD to 'Scrap'. But Stock Category is "Q" and does not show in MMBE "Blocked"..WHY?

    Hi,
    I made a UD of an Insp Lot to 'Scrap' in the Inspection lot stock tab.
    The system automatically created a material document with movement type 553 (Direction -) and 551 (Direction +)
    However the stock Category in the material document is "Q". IS THIS CORRECT? SHOULD THIS BE "S" (This is in the WM tab of the material document).
    Also when I query MMBE after the above UD to Scrap, the batch quantity is not shown either in Quality or Blocked stock. IS THIS CORRECT?
    Please advise.
    Regards
    Priyanka

    My understanding was when I input a quantity in 'Scrap' field during UD
    1) The stock should be blocked (hence it will show under blocked stock column in MMBE)
    2) The stock category should be "S" and not "Q"
    I agree that in MMBE based on your explanation the stock should not be shown in blocked.
    But can you explain why the stock category is "Q" instead of "S"
    Regards

  • Need to create stock item reservation with account assignment

    Hi Gurus,
    we are working on EBP 4.0 , extended classic scenario . We have a scenario where we want to create a shopping cart for stock item reservation with account assignment as work order.
    but when we try to do it , we are getting following error message
    "Unable to create stock reservation for this account assignment."
    Any ideas how this can be resolved?
    Regards,
    Mangesh

    Hi Mangesh,
    In reference to the info. you have provided, the issue seems to be with the account assignment category than anything else.What do you mean by Account assignment as work order? Need some clarity in this statement, to help you in this regard.
    You can create a cost center (account assignment) P.O and can mention the storage location. The stock will be updated in the storage location where as the FI document will be posted against the cost center.

  • Additional Stock Category Considered in SNP Heuristics

    Hi,
    The customer has a requirement to add 'inspection stock' into the SNP Heusrics planning considerations. The stock is already CIF'ed to APO, and is already seen in RRP3 Product view.. So I think part of the work is done. What further do I need to do to get it added to the key figure in the SNP Planning book?
    I have looked at MSDP_ADMIN and the details of the key figure, The stock key figure used here is listed in many planning obj structure, eg 9AMALO, 9ASNPBAS etc. But in all of them there are no category groups or individual category settings assigned... and it is actually greyed out and I cannot add one. So im not sure what it is working on today, even before the new customer requirement.
    Is stock as a key figure different than others? I understand category groups and how they are used in ATP Issues / Reciepts for deployment.. but this appears to be a different setup? (as it is blank currently)
    Other posts seem to have menitoned something about the SNP tab of the location master data in APO. 'Category Groups for Stocks'.
    Do I need to create a new category group in SPRO customising, and then add it to this location master data? or the key figure? or both? or none?
    Please help.
    S SB

    Answering my own question now I have found the answer for the benefit of others:
    When a specific stock category group is assigned in the location master then the sytem considers all the stock categories assigned to that category group while calculating the initial stock.
    If no stock category group is assigned in location master then the system looks at the category group "ST1 - Opening stock" in SPRO and considers all categories in cat group ST1 while calculating the initial stock.
    So to include CF / CI / any other cateogy in the initial stock calculation , all you have to do is assign those categories to ST1 category group . Once this is done you will be able to see the difference in your initial stock.
    There is NOTHING required in MSDP_ADMIN. Tested and confirmed.

  • Batch / Stock Category Issue

    Dear All,
    I have a scenario where a single material in a purchase order has different stock categories as below:
    PO/LI - 10    Mat A    US
                20   Mat A    FR
                30   Mat A    AG
    When the GRN is done, ideally for the different stock categories the created system batch should be different, but in my system a single batch gets created for all the stock categories. As per my understanding the relationship between Batch & Stock Category is ONE to ONE. But how could it is be possible that the system replicates the same batch for the different stock categories for a given GRN instance ( in a single material document)
    In the material master, the discrete batch is maintained and also the batch management tick is maintained.
    Any reasons as to why this is happenning and how i could rectify this
    Regards
    Shabeen Buhary

    What "stock category" means? "US", "FR", "AG"?
    Are you speaking about valuation types?
    How batch number ssignment is set in the system? Please check it - maybe user exit SAPLV01Z  is used --> revise the logic of it with the help of an ABAPer.
    In your example I can see separate line items - you should be able to set the system to assign different batch numbers to the items (via user exit).

  • Stock category change in WM

    Hi gurus,
    How can I change the stock category from available to  block(S)  for a material (WM managed) without changing the storage type, bin number?
    Regards
    Rajib Pathak

    Hi,
    You should trigger this transfer posting in MM (MB1B or MIGO). The move is seen as a virtual move in WM so the stock should stay in the source bin. A posting change notice should be generated from the IM movement and in turn, the TO can be created for the PCN. Here two line items should be generated. The first item posts from it's current position to 922 (normally bin TR-ZONE) and the second line item posts from this 922 location back to the original bin. The second line item will also hold the change of stock category. If this is not happening, please check the movement type in WM config. It should have the source and destination defined as 922 TR-ZONE (for example) and it should have a shipment type of 'U' for posting change.
    Hope this helps. Regards,
    Sinéad Curran

  • User-exit to Update stock category in MB1B

  • Inv. Consign. - Stock category K  is not permitted for general stock search

    Hi,
    IS-Retail ECC 6.0
    Unable to select another vendor consignment inventory for the same article at TO creation. Get the following message:
    +Stock category K  is not permitted for general stock search+
    +Message no. L3727+
    +Diagnosis+
    +You have entered a stock category (special stock indicator and special stock number) during transfer order creation that is not permitted by general stock determination.+
    +Example:+
    +General stock determination only allows you to enter stock categories 'own stock' and 'consignment stock' of vendor 6411. You cannot enter special stock 'K' and special stock of (vendor) 6512+.
    Not using batch management but already applied OSS note1034907 - Picking consignment stock in Warehouse Management without success.
    Any idea?
    Thanks
    Gaetan

    There is the response back from SAP on the subject. We also faced the situation where the stock determination was done but we had no stock available for the first sorted stock in this case our own stock. We have than created a user exit to take out any 0 line item from the sort to bypass this problem and get the next stock vendor available . Hope that will help.
    Gaetan
    In the retail consignment processing the stock split is excluded during
    stock determination. That means, you have to set the stock split to 1.
    In your case, if you check the customizing settings of the stock
    determination for
    - site 1100,
    - stock determination rule Z001 and
    - stock determination groupe Z001,
    the stock split or the number of splits is 002. But, this is not
    possible in coherence with the retail consignment processing and the
    creation of a TO. We will prevent such a scenario also in the coding.
    Therefore you are not able to select another vendor for consignment. In
    this case you have to change/adjust your customizing settings for stock
    determination. Please check also the usage of an alternate stock
    determination rule.
    For further information, please check/compare also the documentation.
    Customizing documentation:
    When stock determination is activated, the stock split is excluded
    during stock determination, which means you have to set the stock
    split to 1.
    Documentation in the Help Portal:
    * It is not possible to make a partial delivery of a delivery item
    from both consignment stock and a company's own stock. Nor can you
    deliver an item from the consignment stock of serveral special stock
    managers.
    That means, please check/adjust your customizing settings for the stock
    determination.

  • Status Stock M and Stock Category S

    I have problems for GR using MB1C and mov 501 because I need to use that with Status Stock M and Stock Category S, Do you know if is possible this kind of combination M and S for GR?

    Hi Rose, thanks for your information, let me explain you all the context, 
    First I need GR for damage materials to the WH but with Special Stock field = M for non valued (without accountant document) and second this material needs the stock category "S" (blocked stock) because this material doesn't need to create a necessity when the MRP runs (due is scrap material). 
    I hope this information could clarify my question and is enough for you to give me an answer 
    Thanks in advanced

  • Creating new 'category/index' for apple loops in logic

    As well as the standard apple loops, I currently have an additional apple loops jampack & a number of self-made apple loops.
    These have been indexed automatically, & can be referenced via the drop-down on the top right of the loop browser as 'jampack' & 'my loops' respectively.
    I've just bought a 3rd party dvd of apple loops, & would like to be able to reference these via the same kind of category in the loopbrowser drop down, however, the 3rd party DVD has no 'installer' like the official jampack, but instead just has folders of 'apple-loopyfied' AIFFs to drop in the loop browser.
    I assume if this is the case they will appear by default under 'my loops', which isn't ideal - is there a way I can manually create another category(/folder?) for these loops which I can reference via Logic's loop browser drop-down?
    Any help appreciated
    Adam

    ok, still stuck on this but have found the following from page 61 on 'new in logic 7.2'
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/NewFeatures_in_Logic_Pro7.2.pdf
    'To keep things tidy, the loop browser offers advanced loop management tools, the jam pack management drop-down allows you to limit the display to loops from a specific jam pack, or other folder' .....then....describing an option from the pull-down, 'vendor x - choose to play loops from a specific third party vendor'
    - this looks perfect for what i want to do, but i assume a vendor must include certain data/meta-data in their loops for this indexing to work & display under vendor x as a dropdown, how do i know if the dvd I have bought will have this? hmmmm....
