Creating Cycle Count

Hi,
I want to create new cycle count and looking for steps
the requirements is
every week I get list of item counted on a specific sub-inventory/category by store incharge
I will load them in to cc interface
then use will approve adjustments.
what the step needed to do?
thanks,
7Z

After some tries I have done the steps needed but now the issue is I want to run cycle count on specfic category(items) on weekend .
Is there a way to do this?
What I would be doing is that after the cycle count on specific items I would update the interface table and set approval to auto.

Bogus print from cycle count batch job

Hi all,
We are using cycle count process for certain materials.
Two std batch jobs are used for this purpose.
1. To create cycle count document in the system.
2. To print created cycle count document.
For last few days we are facing a strange problem. Cycle count print job is printing some documents which are not available in SAP Environment. (Tables IKPF and ISEG)
Any pointers to solve the issue would be helpful.
regards,
Parshuram

check the settings made for the print job.
Use SM37 find your print job. Click the step button.
What program do you use?
put your cursor onto the step line, then choose from menu GOTO > Variants.
What selection criteria are used in the variant?

Physical inventory document created for Cycle counting

There are lot of physical inventory documents are created for materials around 2500 automaticallly
I have checked all MMR for materials, all these material set with cycle counting indicator 3 which mean that 25 pdhysical inventories and 10 physical intervels.
I have checked batch input but i did not any found batch input posted for this..
How the physical inventory documents are created automatically for these materilas.
Plz thorugh some light on me..

Hi
There is a process for creating the physical inventory document of your inventory. The lines are separately created for each product batch.
Probably the process will be scheduled and therefore it is executed and created the document.

Open Transfer Orders in WM Cycle Count

Hi experts:
My client wants to implant cycle counting in WM, we are using MIBC for CC indicator analysis and LX26 to create inv. doc. The material master is ready with the CC indicators. But my client wants to know what open TO´s are already created for the materials to be counted in LX26.
Is there any procedure to list all TO´s that are open for materials displayed in MIBC analysis?
Working on SAP ECC 6.0
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
1. You should check unprocessed TRs in LB10. (processing those TRs you can get the TOs).
2. Unconfirmed TOs can be checked in LT22.
3. Please also check LU04 for open PCNs.
You should also have a look at interim storage types, negative stock maybe indicates that after IM booking necessary WM booking were not executed (LB10 and LU04 can aslo give information on these).

Cycle count and inventory document generation

hi.
Currrent Scenario : Cycle count has been configured for Quarterly cycle count for 20 materials.
Float period has been set for 5 days.
Procedure : Customer wants to do inventroy count for the 20 materials at the rate of one material per day.
Question : 20 Materials falling under "C" quarterly cycle count show up for Physical inventory.
Can the customer create an inventory document for <b>inventory count each day for each material</b> or will they have to create 20 inventory documents for count at one go since the float period is set for 5days.
Will the float period indicated play a part if the physical inventory is planned for each material on separate days.
Or if an physical inventory has been planned for the quarterly managed material, all material in that category say "C" would anyway show up during the quarterly inventory cycle count period.And the inventory count can be done for each material on seperate days.
Thanks

hi Arif.,
Earlier situation : Cycle count procedure was only A.
Present situation : Cycle count procedure is now ABCD .
But only C.c indicator A is still active for all material. We have not
changed the Cc indicators for any material.
Transported to production on Friday.
My question is :
On monday ,when the batch program was executed for printing of inventory
documents, Why does it generate a whole lot inventory documents for
Materials which have not been inventored even when the C.c indicators
remain A for all the Materials.We have not even in-corporated the
Quarterly cycle count indicators for the few selected materials.
Should the system:
1. Print Inventory documents only for the current period or
2. Is the system behaving properly due to the change in Cycle count?
Only the Cycle count procedure has been changed to 4 times in a fiscal year.
Do review the information and update me.

Cycle Counting

Hi
Is Cycle counting inventory process used only in Warehouse Management ?
Can't we use this for std MM ?
Regards,
A

Hi There
Ref the below link for the Detail config process,,
http://help.sap.com/printdocu/core/Print46c/en/data/pdf/MMIM/MMIM.pdf
In Transaction Mi01, if you create the PI document, you have to enter the material one by one or you have to copy from the list of material and paste it to create the PI, it is burden for the user,,
In MICN, based on the last count or to be counted materials automatically picked for the PI doc creation, thats the reason we have t code MICN.
Hope it clears
Thanks

Cycle Counts in 11.5.9

Running a cycle count by period. Cycle count was established to start on 27-Aug-07. Created the Perform full cycle count (Report Set) which runs every month...however in September the auto schedule in the cycle count form has the next date as 24-Sep-07 yet the report set which is set to run monthly will run on the 27-Sep-07...and this disconnect will continue month after month. Did I miss something obvious in set up or is there no way to have the report set in synch with auto schedule on the cycle count?
Thanks in advance.

You are not connected to the user that started the database. Please verify the owner of the database processes. You can use the ipcs utility if on linux/unix to verify the owner. Please also verify the owner and permissions of the 'oracle' binary under the RDBMS Oracle Home bin directory to verify that it has the proper owner and permissions.

Best practice for retail store cycle count

Hi experts
Would you have any experience/best practice in designing for cycle count process for your clients?
By cycle count, I mean for frequent counting (daily) for specific item category / exceptional count request.
My client want to implement a cycle count process to minimize the effort for full stock take which happen around 3 times per year.
They are using SAP as the core system to keep track of inventory, and using external store system, so some considerations would be on, for example:
- whether the count variance or counted quantity shall be interfaced back to SAP
- whether SAP should be the source to initiate a stock count process or POS initiate
It would be very nice if you can share some best practice as in the process flow, system information flow, etc.
Best regards
Dominic

Hello
Both can be done but as you say SAP is the core system at least for tracking inventories, better create and integrate inventories is SAP aswell.
The main advice I would give is to avoid specific tables for inventory integration because standard tables and specific won't be updated well sometimes and support would be needed, stick on standard transactions.
If the inventory is centralised in SAP, you can for example count them with PDA, send to SAP connectors your counting which will be integrated from a xml file transformed in a Idoc for SAP.
One parameter is important to consider as the freeze for inventory. You have to decide if you take into account any stock movement that could occur after your inventory creation or not. If you do, the variance after the counting will depend on the initial stock value and also the movement.
If you don't, the variance will only take into account your initial stock value withotu considering the stock movement.
Hope it helps you,
Génia.

Cycle counting happening not beyond fiscal year

Hello
We tried to run Cycle counting using LX26 but got error as IM settings are not done,we ran MIBC
The issue here is we can't push the counting date beyond the fiscal year end. If I run the transaction LX26 in either QAS or Prod it will work just fine if I keep the date before 31.03.2012.
Result of this issue is that all parts classified as C or D, are not being suggested for counting. As most of our stock is rated C or D by the ABC analysis that means that a lot of parts will not be counted, while they should be counted.
So what I need is a way to be able to count all types of stock using an inventory process in SAP, if there is another transaction that does count C and D classified stock that would be very helpful.
Factory calendar validdity is from 1996 to 2020.
Transactions I use now:
        For creating inventory documents LX26
        Printing inventory documents ZLI04
        Inputting count results LI11N
        Processing count results LI14, LI20 and ZLI21
Thanks in advance for helping us

Physical Inventory/cycle Counting procedure in Inventory Management

Hi everyone
i have been posting some of my queries here on SDN but i never got any reply from anyone
I had another question, Can anyone tell me what is the configuration steps for Physical Inventory/Cycle counting in IM, What are the IMG config involved for both.
2. In cycle counting if i want the system to tell what material to be cycle counted that what is the Transaction for it
Lucas

Hi Lucas,
Please go with following transaction
MI01>Create physical inventory document>Enter Document Date>Planned count date>Plant Code>Storage Location>Click on Enter button>you will get the separate screen>Enter material code>and click on SAVE button (Ctrl+S)>you will get Physical inventory document number. (MI02-Use for delete)
(After getting Physical inventory document number you go with MIO4)
MI04>click on enter button>you will get "Enter inventory count screen>Enter Phys. inventory doc.no>Fiscal year>Count date>click on enter button>you will get separate screen>Enter physical qty>and click on save button ((Ctrl+S)>you will get massage from the SAP Count entered for phys. inv. doc. 100000112"
(After completed above transaction you please go with MI07)
MI07>you will get Post inv.differences:initial screen>Enter Phys. inventory doc.> Fiscal year> Posting date>click on enter button>you will get separate screen with deference qty>click save button(Ctrl+S)> you will get document number generated from the system (Diffs in phys. inv. doc. 100000112 posted with m. doc. 4900001246)

Using ISEG as datasource for cycle counting BW cube

ISEG captures the cycle count transactions in R3. As far as I know there is no business content cycle counting cube or extractors. I would like to create an extractor against ISEG to bring into BW in order to create a custom BW cycle counting cube. I would like to know any pertinant notes on advice in general on using ISEG as a datasource. I do understand how to create new extractors; I'm looking for any nuances with ISEG. Perhaps data quality, keys, delta processing, new content etc., just for examples.
thanks
Bob Bechtel

Hi Bob,
I have faced the same situation as yours. Could you tell me how you proceeded to get this cycle couting cube in place.
Thank you.

Regarding Cycle Count Entries

Dear All,
I am doing cycle counting in which I have 10 Items in my subinventory. I have completed ABC Analysis and classified first 2 items as A and next 3 item as B and remain 4 items as C. Even I have performed Cycle Count as well.
In Cycle count entries i am not able to enter count quantity for my entire 10 items instead it is showing only 6 items only. Why I was not able to see remaining 4 items and how do I enter count quantity for those missed 4 items?
What would be the solution if i want to see all my 10 items in in cycle count entries form?
Edited by: SaroR on Jan 20, 2010 6:58 AM

Can you check mtl_cceoi_action_pub.import_CountRequest api?
Please make sure you carry out the following before calling the API.
1. Create a Cycle Count
2. Enter a Manual Cycle Count Entry.
3. Run program "Perform Complete Cycle Count" to generate generate cycle count request
4. Post the count Entries using the by calling the API using your Script.
Check the following MOS notes.
Cycle Count Request Import (MTL_CCEOI_ACTION_PUB API) Fails When Using Serial Number Multiple Per Request [ID 1468453.1

Warehouse Management Cycle Counting Method

Dear All
I am new to WM and would like to carry out Physical Inventory in Warehouse.
However if I use transaction like LI01N I have to create a Physical Inventory Document for the entire Bin.I want to create Physical Inventory Document only for few materials and not for the entire Bin.
In that scenario I have to use Cycle Couting method ie LX26 for certain materials however in that case n physical Inventory Doc is created.
Can anybody let me know regarding?
1.Is there any way that I do not use Cycle Counting method and still create Inv Doc not for Bin but for selected materials.
2.If I have to use cycle couting what steps I am missing,I have already set the cycle counting Indicator in material master but still when I execute LX26 and go to list and create Physical Inv Doc the system is not creating any document.
Regards

so when you say you already did the below steps, then it means you added the indicator in the material master and the CC entry is also updated in the transation OMNK. So that's why when you execute the LX26, you see some entries.
In LX26, when you select the item and trying to click the Activate Documents, what does the log message says. It should say either open transfer order exists or bin blocked or anything.
Even you can try LICC to create inventory document by quant, if you have multiple quant in that bin.
2.If I have to use cycle couting what steps I am missing,I have already set the cycle counting Indicator in material master but still when I execute LX26 and go to list and create Physical Inv Doc the system is not creating any document.

ABC Cycle Counting Process Steps

We currently want to switch our Cycle Counting by Bin location to ABC Cycle Counting. We want the system automatically generate a list of materials to count daily based on there ABC indicator.
Our Current Process Steps are as follows:
Step 1: LX 26 - Select Items for cycle count
Step 2: LI04 Print the Count sheets
Step 3: LI11N Enter the results
Step 4: LX17 View variance
Step 5: LI14 Create recounts
Step 6: LI04 Print the recount sheets
Step 7: LI11N Enter the results
Step 8: LX17 View variance
Step 9: LI20 Accept Counts & Clear Differences WM
Step 10: ZLI21 Accept Counts & Clear Differences IM
But when we switch to ABC Cycle counting we can't do the LX26 because that is when you select the bins you want to count. We need the process steps if we use the system to generate the kick off. Any ideas?

1. It is a CO problem - I think your error message is KI235. However you may face this problem if settings are ok but you do not do things properly in IM/WM bookings. Please check these links:
Re: OKB9
Account 5248654 requires an assignment to a CO object---Message no. KI235
Please describe step-by-step (with trx codes) what you did and in which step you get the error message.
2.
WM bookings will "never" consume you components (or maybe because a bug...). If you want to consume the components you have to post GI with reference to your PrdOrd (CO11N, CO15, CO27, MIGO, MB1A).
If you did a booking with mvt 261 in MB1A by mistake, do the reverse booking by mvt 262. That's all.
If you cannot solve your issue please clarify your problem, step-by-step...

Csaba
