Current Inventory Count in CRM

Hi Experts,
To my knowledge we can't maintain and check inventory count in SAP CRM for that we need to use SAP ECC.
We want to implement below scenario and don't know how to proceed.
Sales Rep create order in CRM Mobile which gets replicated to CRM and then to ECC and then shipped in ECC, then the rep receive the same in CRM Mobile.
Lets say rep ordered 100 quanitity of product X, now the mobile laptop have 100 quantity of product X. Then rep distribute some of product to customers lets say 15. The inventory for rep after distribution is 85, which we can find from ECC.
Is there a place in CRM/Mobile from where we can find the Current Inventory in Hand (i.e. 85).
Our scenario wants us to limit the distribution of product to the max. of current inventory in hand i.e. in above case sales rep should not be able to create disbursement of more then 85 units of product X.
Please provide some pointers on how to achieve this functionality, if possible without going to ECC each time a disbursement is created because sales rep uses CRM Mobile Laptops which are offline most of the time.
Regards,
Vikas

Inventory Count for Batch Managed materials - Plant, S.Loc and Batch Wise

Hi.,
In the company's current scenario, the printing of batch managed materials are scheduled under 3 Job names.
1. First job determines the materials/batches that need to be created today using Program RM07ICN1
2. Second Job Processes the BDC Session created by Program RM07ICN1 using Program: RSBDCSUB
3. Third Job prints the Inventory tickts at the appropriate Storage location using Program: RM07IDRU
Each Job has its own variant.
The Variant for SL.No 1 is defined w.r.t
i. Material Type : Two Material types have been defined
ii. Under selection variable, GIDAT ( Planned count date and GBDAT are flagged.
Current Analysis:
A. The inventory documents get printed with Materials as per the cycle counting indicators defined which govern which material has to be currently counted.
B. Inventory documents are generated for all materials in all the plants and in all the storage locations
C. Batches for a material number may print on different cycle count documents throughout the year.
Customer requirement:
The inventory documents to print on basis of
1. Material, Plant and S.Loc.
This would help in identifying the batches which are currently being counted as well.
2. Customers requirement is to ensure that all batches are accounted for and will identify any overage of batches since in the current process, they are never reviewed as a whole.
QUESTION:
1. How to configure the Customer requriement.
2. How to configure the Variant/s, if thats the place the configuration has to be done to satisfy the customer.
3. How to activate the Variant in SE37 after definition in the Step Indicator. Does it activate on execution?
When i run the Program using SE38 , maintaining options in the Screen ( giving Material, Plant and S.loc), i get the desired list (Batches w.r.t Material,plant.S.Loc). But there is a list of over 150 Batch managed materials and it would not be physically possible to maintain the variant for each each Material,plant,S.loc wise.
Is there a way to configure the customer requirement/s.
Any and all help is much appreciated.
Thanks

Hello Mahesh,
<b>Customer requrirement is specific, they want a list of Inventory Documents to be generated on basis of Material in each Plant-S.Loc batch wise.</b>
Then you need to define multiple varinat for the program.
<b>(a) If i am giving two variants in the same Program name RM07ICN1, how to execute one after after in sequence.
In testing, I have defined in the " Step", Progran RM07ICN1 with one variant and Program RM07ICN1 with another Variant. But on execution of Program RM07ICN1 thru SE38, the screen defined latter ( second variant screen data ) is displayed.</b>
You need to define several steps in SM36 transaction for the program using each variant. SE38 you can use only to save your variant data so later you can use this variant in SM36.
Once you schedule the job with SM36 and release it then it will automatically execute this job as per your criteria (timeline)
Hope this helps.

Problem in the Physical Inventory Count

Hi Experts,
We are facing a problem in the Physical Inventory Count as below
1) Suppose for Material XYZ we have done the MI01 on the current date i.e 14.11.2008 with the Planned Count date as 08.11.2008 activating the Freeze Book Inventory check box.
2) Now if there is any movement of material XYZ between 08.11.2008 & 14.11.2008, then while doing MI20 it compares the Physical Count Quantity with the actual book quantity as on 14.11.2008 i.e the current date & not with actual book quantity as on 08.11.2008 which is required by us.
Can you kindly help us in rectifying this issue at the earliest???
Regards,
Samir Bhatt

hi,
In such cases, you use the adjust Book inventory indicator...
SPRO --> MM --> Inventiry management and PI --> Physical inventory > Settings for the PI> Activate the ADj book inv indicator for your plant as per your plant and make the choice btween 2 and 3...
By this the system will auto adjust the book inventory and the count for the goods mov posted.....
Note: This feature is allowed if the posting is done one day after or before...
But in your case, the days are more, so you need to use the recount technique...

Physical Inventory Count with Batches / Inventory Tracking+Posting

Hi,
There does not seem to be any way to record a Physical Inventory count with Batch managed items.
Scenario-1: In case 1.8 kg of batch number 222 is counted during Physical Count. B1 has Batch number 111 with quantity 2.5kg. B1 assumes that a lesser quantity of existing batch 111 was counted and the batch SELECTION screen appears.
Scenario-2: Similarly, if 3 kg of batch number 222 is counted during Physical Count and Batch number 111 exists on Business One with quantity 2.5kg, then B1 assumes that a new batch was found and the batch CREATION screen appears.
Scenario-3: If 2.5 kg of batch number 222 is counted during Physical Count - with Batch number 111 on Business One with quantity 2.5kg, then B1 assumes a zero "difference" in posting window. Wrong batch removal and new batch addition cannot be done - the batch selection/creation screen does not pop up with CTRL+TAB.
A Physical inventory count sheet with hundreds of rows with all 3 above scenarios in the rows is normally supposed to be entered into any system.
An easy way to do this should exist on SAP B1 but does not appear to exist right now.
Thanks,

Message# 551219/2009
Dear Ajay Audich,
Thanks for your message and screenshots. In current version of SAP Business One, the Inventory Posting functionality does not offer input at the batch level. The system behaves in the following way:
If the Difference number is positive, you will see a Define Bathes
window where you can assign the item quantity to the relevant batches.
If the Difference number is negative, you will see a Batch Number
Selection widow where you can issue item from the relevant batch.
So it isnot possible to enter the count for batch managed items per batch. The possible workaround is after Inventory Posting, use Goods Issue and Receipt to manually adjust the Batch quantity.
Please kindly have a try. If the feature is important for customer
business process, please kindly refer to attached Note 1028874 for
further action.
Sorry for any inconvenience, we appreciate your understanding.
Kind regards,
Canna Mu

Inventory count shows zero.

When I check the "License 15A - General license reconciliation report". Inventory count shows zero for some softwares. Currently I have imported few non-Microsoft and Microsoft license information. inventory count column shows zero. Is there
some other configuration I need to modify so this gets updated?
I have verified csv file of licenses many times, its correct only.
Product is SCCM 2012 SP1.
Please help!!!

Hi,
Is it only a few or all that shows up blank? if it is a few, then all components are working and you perhaps should double-check the .csv file again and verify the application information in your .csv file. Otherwise make sure that Assett Intelligence is
and hardware inventory is working in the environment.

Inventory count w/o reference doc "MI09" with IDoc WVINVE02

Dear forum,
I am trying to create an inventory count without reference to a document and I thought I would use IDOc WVINVE02 with message code WVINVE. We don't have an SAP inventory document, but would like to use just an external reference.
When running transaction MI09 in the GUI it's quite easy to create an inventory count using:
Plant
Storage location
Special stock
Count date
Material
Quantity
Unit of measure
That's all we want to have.
I have tried to post an IDoc WVINVE02 inbound using FM IDOC_INPUT_STORE_INVENTORY with the corresponding data, but without success. The IDOc interface only states "IDoc not fully processed".
I need some help with how to input data and also need to understand if it is possible to use this IDoc for inventory count WITHOUT a reference document. The documentation available is not clear enough on this. Has anyone experienced a similar challenge?
Thanks!
::Ellen

Inventory count for subcontracing material

I want to take the inventory count for the material with subcontracor on 31st march 2008 (previous period).
I have tried to know the stock with subcontractor using T-code ME2o, MB5B, MBLB but I'm not getting desired results(i.e stock values on 31st march).
Is there any other/alternate way.
Please suggest.

Inventory count is used for counting internal material which means within plant and storage location.
To see stock provided to vendor use tcode ME2O.

Inventory count for Various Stock types

What is Inventory count for Various Stock types?
i have to upload data to this.
can anyone explain this and give the tcode for this.
Regards,
Vimal

Hi,
While taking up physical inventory you have the option of doing it for different stock types being maintained .Like Quality stock,unrestricted stock ,blocked stock.If you are doing this activity in sessions in MI31 ,you need to check against the stock types which are to be counted.This will include the stock of the items as selected and leave aside the stock types not selected.In MI01 also you can select these stock types which are donated by 1,2,3 & 4 stock type.After creating the document the stock counted is to be entered in MI04 .Than get the difference list in MI20.The difference will be posted in MI07 which will complete the activity and stock will be adjusted after posting tyhe difference.

Inventory Count (1 material under 1 loc have multiple tags)

Hi,
SAP standard inventory count is 1 material 1 location can only have 1 physical document. But our scenario is based on the tag number (which means there will be different tag number for the same code), and our tag number does not have any linkage to the SAP standard inventory count program. This is because even in the same location, our material will be at different places, and we might use more than 1 tag for the same material.
For example our scenario (1 loc 1 material multiple tags):
Tag No      Material Code
CA00001     CPS756
CA00002     CPS756
CA00003     CPS518
CA00004     CPS518
CA00005   CPS518
CA00006   CPS632
Whereas the SAP standrd program is (1 loc 1 material 1 line item):
100000182     1     CPS756
100000182     2     CPS518
100000182     3     CPR632
This will help a lot to ease the entering as the user just need to enter the count according to the tag number, and also reduce any typo error. And if we enter according to SAP method, we will have to sum up the total of all the same code, then only enter the count qty.
Kindly please advise.

Hello Sim,
There are several possibilities you can think about,
1. If you are considering your tags as a batch number then you can put the material number and batch number while creating Physical Inventory.
2. If materials are in different places then you can consider these different places as a different storage location.
3. You can manage your stock with Warehouse mangement functionality (This will be the best option, but will be required to activate warehouse management and lots of data conversion activities).
Hope this helps.

Problem in Inventory Count

Hi Everyone,
I tried to put a quantity in stock in a storage bin that i created

Kindly help me out is there any configuration settings have to be done for Inventory Count.

You need to maintain the default values of physical inventory for each storage type in customizing
SPRO > Logistics Execution > Warehouse Management > Activities > Physical Inventory > Define Default Values

Process of Inventory count blocks one other plant

hi.,
If i understand correct, you can create PI documents at Plant(1) /Storage location ( S.Loc Say A) .level.
Until the Physical Inventory Count documents are posted, SAP will not allow any kind of movement of that material say X at that Plant(1) /Storage location level (S.loc A).
For the same Plant (1) ,if there are more than one storage location say B,C or D, the Physical Inventory count process would not affect the movement ,GR, GI of Material X in S.loc B, C or D. (Right ?)
Situation (1) :What is happening is, when PI documents are created for Plant (1), S.Loc (A) , Material (X) and the count is in process, the system is not allowing the GI, GR , movement of Material (X) containted in Storage location B, C or D. Message is Material is blocked by User (who has generated the PI document.)
Situation(2): Material (X) in different Plant (2) under the same company code are also denied any movement while the Count is in process in Plant (1).
I was wondering if anyone has come across this kind of scenario and the solution for the same.
All assistance is much appreciated.
Thanks

Hi Mahesh,
For your situation 1 question- the error message is due to the material is also processing by other person, not necessarily the person who created the PI doc, by the time your trying to use the Material (X) somebody is using also.
(Blocking of Movements like GR/GI is set separetely, if you try to use this material like GR, error message will promt like Material is blocked due to PI)
For situation 2- most likely you are able to do blocking of this material for posting when you created the PI docs. So, it also not allowed you to do GR or any kind of posting.
Hope this clear your doubt.
Regards,
Maia
