Cycle count inventory

Hi everybody,
When doing a cycle count via tx LX26, the following error appears:
"CC inventory not prepared in IM
Message no. L4173"
I've read some threads regarding this item, and what I have done is the following:
OMNK - activate cycle counting for my warehouse and storage types.
ommb - for number ranges
IMG > Logistics Execution > Warehouse Management > Activities > Physical Inventory > Dynamic Cycle Counting > General Settings > Define Storage Type Settings
omco
article master data (when using mibc all articles appear with the cc indicater filled)
I think I have everything correctly configured and there is no stp missing, but the reality is that I am not able to perform the cycle count.
Any idea?
Thanks

Have you made material master settings ?
Marking Materials for Cycle Counting
This step is only required if you perform cycle counting for the first time or if you want to update the cycle counting indicators.
In the material master record (storage data), maintain the cycle counting indicator for all the materials that are to be included in cycle counting.
You can set the indicator in one of the following two ways:
manually in the material master record. To do this, choose Material ® Change from the Material Master menu.
automatically using ABC analysis To do this, choose Special procedures ® Cycle counting ® Set CC indicator from the Physical Inventory menu.

Dear All,
I have updated new weblog on the common problem for physical inventory.
When any organization plans to go for implementing the warehouse management; it has major concern about the physical inventory process, particularly last physical inventory date.
More details are available on this weblogs:

Scanner program for warehouse cycle count inventory

Hello Expert,
We have Handling unit management, Warehouse. We are using standard SAP cycle count procedure to count bins and to carry out physical inventory.
We would like to use scanner/ RF to carry out physical inventory to reduce time and efforts.
Can you please provide me some detail about different programs that are already available for warehouse cycle counts?
I would like to know which program would be ideal for us to use to replace our manual cycle counts.
Please provide all possible detail
Thank you very much for your help.
Regards,
NEal

If you start here:
Mobile Data Entry (LE-MOB) - SAP Library
and go through the inventory counting menu it will explain in great detail the available options.
As per standard LM58 can be used for system guided and LM60 can be used for user initiated counting process.
There is a great deal of information about creating and assigning inventory count documents,counting, recounting and clearing of differences that is easy to find please make some effort to search for such information before posting.

Cycle Counting

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

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 count procedure

Hi,
The below is the issue my user asking for.
there are B items are to be counted 6 times a year (Once every two months)..
For example:
If plant A has 1000 B items then 500 should be counted in month one and 500 should be counted in month 2.
However, it seems that all the B movers are in the same month thus the cycle count is for ALL items.
User asking why all items fall inonr month when he creates phy.inv docs in MICN.
Please help.

amar

Hi
Cycle counting is a method of physical inventory whereby material is inventoried at regular intervals within a fiscal year. These intervals or cycles depend on the cycle counting indicator set for the material.
Cycle counting allows fast-moving items to be counted more frequently than slow-moving items, for example.
All materials to be included in the cycle counting inventory are flagged. This is done either manually, using a cycle counting indicator in the material master record (storage data), or automatically, by means of an ABC analysis. The cycle counting indicator allows you to classify materials into individual cycle counting categories (for example: A, B, C, D) In Customizing, you can set for each category how often the materials are inventoried.
You can flag materials that are to be included in cycle counting as follows:
Manually in the material master record (storage data)
Automatically using ABC analysis.
      You can use program RMCBIN00 to carry out an ABC analysis, which assigns materials to each category according to consumption or requirements. You can choose whether the analysis should only include materials with cycle counting indicators or all materials. The cycle counting indicator can be automatically updated in ABC analysis.
To plan the cycle counting inventories, start the RM07ICN1 cycle counting program at regular intervals. This program checks the due dates for inventories for all cycle counting materials.
If it is time for an inventory for a certain material, use the program to create a batch input session to create physical inventory documents. Physical inventory documents are only created for stock type 1 (unrestricted use). The planned inventory count date is calculated as follows:
        Date of last inventory + pre-defined interval
The interval between inventories for each cycle counting indicator is set in Customizing.
Use the batch input session to create the physical inventory documents.
Now you can carry out the inventory. When the difference is posted, the actual inventory count date is recorded in the material inventory data as the date of the last inventory.

Ram

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 inventory count each day for each material 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.

Inventory cycle count report

Hi
We need to implement inventory cycle count report . Is there a standard business content data source for this ?
Thanks and Regards
Arun

Sorry I never responded. It's really just a matter of what you need to report on. ISEG has all the basic information you need like plant, material, sloc, etc... so the other tables invovled is really a case by case type of thing. I can't think of much else you would really need for generic cycle count reporting.
Also, the previous post is a good method depending on your needs. If showing difference postings and whatnot is suitable, then go with the movement type. But if you need to dig deeper into it by showing system/counted quantities as well as the difference, then the custom extractor would be the way to go. For me, I did inventory accuracy/cycle counting type of reporting that needed to consider the actual quantities, as a difference of 2 units on an inventory of 100,000 units is a lot different that 2 units difference on a balance of 100 units. But that was just my case is all.
Hope this helps.
Thanks

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)
Pls. assign the points.
Thanks & Regds,

How to exclude a set of materials from cycle counting physical inventory

How to exclude a set of materials from cycle counting physical inventory
Details:
Set of material to be uploaded to SAP on say Jan-2011 from another system with cc indicator D:once
in a year and fixed,before uploading into SAP physical inventory will be done .
So we donot want again those materials to fall in the cycle counting in the same year.
So is there a method to exclude these materials from CC counting for the year 2011
or is there some way to upload last inventory count date in SAP system so that it will exclude those
materials?
Any answers will be appreciated.
Thanks
Bijay

HI Antony
Thank you for your reply.
If material count is less than this method is well valid.
IN our case there are 7lakhs materials and having diff cc indicator A,B,C,D...
So it will cumbersome for client to keep track of all those materials when to update cc indicator.
So any other thought? can we upload last count date while updating materials details or similar
Thanks
Bijay

Transaction MIBC-- ABC Analysis for Cycle Counting - Physical Inventory

Dear Friends,
Could you please explain me the cycle count indicator relationship to the percentage of inventory to be counted.
When i am using MIBC transaction and changing the Percentages....based on percentages the system is proposing the new cycle count indicators for the materials.
Thanks in advance
Sanjay

Dear Sanjay,
I would recommend you to write your question into the ERP - Logistics Materials Management (MM) topic. I suppose you will get more information about MIBC there.

Also would like to know a comparitive report which should show before & after Physical Inventory alsong with Qty & values per plant & material.
Will be pleased if I could have at IM level & WM level also.
Regards,
Vengat

Hi,
1. You can use T CODE- MI23 -Display Physically inventory data for material.
2. You can use T CODE- MB59 -Give material code/plant code/Mov Type 701-702/Posting period -Execute (F8) >> Click on current display variant button (Ctrl+F) for selection "Amt.in loc.cur".
Thanks & Rgds,

Inventory - Cycle count history

Hi,
I wanted to know is there a form/report, which can show the details of the historical cycle count Runs?
i.e. if we schedule to the cycle count eg. every week, is it possible to see what all items are counted 3weeks back run?

Execute Inventory with Cycle-Counting Method and by Quants

Hi Gurus,
I would like to Implement the Inventory by quant on WM.
This is because I would like to Inventory only 1 material per Bin.
I found transaction LICC, but when I try to activate the Document an error message say that the Inventory Document Range (LVS_IVNUM) does not exist.
How can I create this range? Have you got a manual for this implementation?
Another Question: the Inventory count is allready implemented and there is still a range of Inventory Documents created and managed by LI01N, LX26..the Cycle Counting by quants can interferate with the one allready implemented?
Thanks & Regards,
Simone

Hi,
For the LICC issue I had same problem. Direct in production you need to maintain number ranges in LN05 for your warehouse.
Thanks.

Physical Inventory vs. Cycle Counting

Hi Experts -
In the absence of the Cycle counting indicator and ABC Analysis is it safe to say that Cycle Counting is not a relevant scenario?
Physical inventory is different PI doc > Count > Recount > Clear differences.
What is the standard functionality if both the ABC and CC indicator is not set?
Thank you.

Hi Gary,
you are right if the CC indicator is not set in the material master then cycle count is not a relevant scenario. Cycle count is one of the method however you can define the system for Continuous count or Annual inventory in addition to both the option you can also activate
PlcmntInv(Continuous inventory upon placement into stock)
ZeroCkin (Continuous inventory based on zero stock check during removal of stock from bin)
The normal Physical inventory process is
Create & Activate a PI Doc (LI01N)---- Count (LI11N) / RecounT (LI14, if required)------Clear difference in WM(LI20) ---Clear difference in IM (LI21)
SPRO-----LE---WM ---ACTIVTIVES----PHYSICAL INVENTORY ------DEFINE TYPE PER STORAGE TYPE
