Cycle Count - LX26 vs LICC

Hi! I would like to confirm the functionality for the above stock take transactions. If I have multiple materials set with different cycle count indicator and these materials can be placed in the same storage bin, does that mean that I should be running LICC instead of LX26 if I only want to stock take those materials that are valid for the stock take period?
What is the disadvantage here with using LICC? That the block will only apply to the quant but not the bin?
Appreciate clarification on the above.
Thanks!

Yes, LICC is the appropriate method , since this will not block the whole bin.
It will only block the related quant of the material and "inventory active" indicator will be set on the quant.
What is the disadvantage here with using LICC? That the block will only apply to the quant but not the bin?
Yes already answered

Add new batch during count entry (for cycle count by quant LICC)

Hi! We are using LICC for cycle counting by quant as we have mixed storage and do not want to count all the materials in a single bin. Most of the materials involved are batch-managed. One issue we have is we may discover other batches during stock take. In this case, how can we add this to the stock adjustment since we cannot add new item when we use cycle counting by quant?
Appreciate your suggestion in this case.
Cheers!
SF

Hi,
Whenever you find discrappancies, in this case founds, you will note these down and first do an analysis whether this particular batch has been written off in the past as lost. When not, you will make a MB1À or MIGO booking to add this found batch to stock. When yes, you could do a reversal of the issue or do a new receipt.

Cycle count error "HU 100201 not in an HU-managed storage location" in LX26

Hi,
I get the following error message "Handling unit 1000020118 is not in an HU-managed storage location" When i try to initiate a cycle count for a bin through LX26 Tcode. Kindly advice about the cause of the problem and how I can fix it.
Thank you for reading

I am not sure but it probably is not, sorry looks like i posted this on the wrong forum

Cycle Count in LX26...Can I display all quants ??

Hi,
I am trying to do cycle counting using LX26 in SAP.
I want to count based on the material for the entire warehouse.
For example: I want to count for warehouse W01 for the next one month.
The warehouse manager should have the ability to assign counters based on material ( eg: He should be able to pick Material "A" which resides in 5 different bins and assign it to a counter)
THE PROBLEM comes when in 1 bin there is more than 1 quant , then the system proposes the bin separately as "Several Quants" , and not in the list for the material.
Is there a setting that would display all material sorted by bin ? So, even if there are 2 different quants in a bin, it would list out the quants for the counter to select ??
Please advice !!

Thanks....I removed the CC indicator in the material master.
But if the material is in the same bin with another material ( with CC active) , it still comes up in LX26
Example:
Material A - No CC Indicator
Material B- CC Indicator of "A"
Both of them are in Bin - B1
If I run LX26 , I get bin B1 with "Multiple Quants" and relevant for Cycle counting !!!
Can you help?

Adding found material in Cycle count by Quant in warehosue - LICC

Hi Gurus,
Hope everybody is doing great.
We activated the cycle count by quant in t-code LICC(cycle count in warehosue by quant). e.g. we have 3 material sin the list. After the count we found that there is another material in the bin. I tried to go into the change pysical inventory document and add the material but there is no option to add this.I tried to add the found material in t-code LI11N - enter count but the add new item is disable and doesn't allow. Can anybody please guide how to handle with the found material? Is there any setting in the customizing we need to activate to allow this? Please advice.
Thanks,
Shamsul

Hi,
Many thanks for your quick reply. The new item button is available and when I tried to click it this is the message we get:
*With quant inventory, new item or single entry not allowed*
*Message no. L4193*
*Diagnosis*
*For Cycle Counting per quant, only the quants entered in the inventory document can be counted. It is not possible to add a further inventory item manually, or to enter inventory data per individual entry.*
It make sense that since there is no quant of the material so you can not have it in teh inventory document BUT there shoudl be a way to add the FOUND Materials also right?
Your thought?
Thanks,
Shamsul

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.

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.

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).

Csaba

Cycle count

We do cycle count physical inventory in one storage type in one
Warehouse, every 30 days on around mid of every month and annual count
physical inventory on 31st Dec every year.
But due to annual count done on 31st Dec, old PI dates of bins are
updated as 31st Dec and new PI dates are proposed as 30th Jan.
So the regular cycle count dates are modified. Business does not want
the PI dates so modified due to recent Annual count, rather needs the
old PI dates displayed as per regular cycle count in LX26 run.
Kindly suggest how to restore old PI dates as per cycle count physical
inventory.

yes you need a custom program for an update.
I never needed to run RLREOLPQ manually, SAP knows when the year is over. This report is probably only needed if you want reset counts within a fiscal year, maybe used when your company is sold in the middle of the year, and the new owner does not accept the already done counts.

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

Why a setting in OMCO without intervals? complete the customizing according to SAP design, your cusotmizing is incomplete

Cycle Counting - Must done by the Interval?

Hi,
We've implemented warehouse management , and we have set "Monthly" for cycle counting indicator "A", that mean, we should perform stocktaking for the materials with indicator "A".
My question is, if we don't execute the transaction LS26 for some monthlys,
For example, we did not perform any stocktaking in Jan, Feb, March..., we just start stocktaking and run tcode LX26 from June, no any cycle counting related tcodes ran before June, what will happen within Feb, Jan and March, ? or that does not matter?
Regards

it does not matter.
from a legal point of view you have to count the materials just once a year.
if you choose cycle counting as inventory method, then you want count more often for better inventory accuracy.
If you finally dont do that........then it just violates your own rules.

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...

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.

Bin level cycle counting - material appears as 'ready/blocked'

Hi all,
I could not find an answer to this question in the previous posts.
Cycle counting has been set up at the storage bin level. When a new quant is generated for a material, then the material appears again on the inventory list (LX26) with description 'Ready/Blocked' although it has already been counted.
Could someone confirm if this is SAP standard behaviour or if there is something odd going on here?
Many thanks!
Kind regards
JHK

He all,
I have a similar question. Cycle Counting only within IM if you have batch management.
Scenario:
Customizing = only one count per year (365 days) KZ = 'A'
After counting all Materials type 'A' including Batches everything seems ok. But receiving a new Batch (new number) to an already counted Material/Batch Type 'A' the material appears again in the cycle counting transaction MICN or MIQ1
Could you confirm this SAP behavior.
Many Thanks
