Cycle count (MICN) exceeded at year end

Hi all,
i have alreay completed the cycle count till 30 dec 2009 by using MICN.But whenever i started counting for 31st december 2009( end of 2009),it is giving me 1500 materials to count. But in real scenario, it should give arround 10 materilas to count.
Please tell me what i should do so that i can get actual cycle count for 31st dec 2009. Is this problem relating to year end problem? If so, what i should do to solve this issue.
Thanks
pabi

Hi Syed,
Thanks for your reply.But i count the materials everyday.Maximum 10 materials come for cycle count everyday.
From 1st december to 30 december, i count every day & my cycle count is within 10.
But suddenly, when i put the date 31st december 2009, then cycle count is more than 1500 which is unexpected.
i came to know that, my manager has opened the calender year till 2011. Is it causing any problem?
or This is year end problem & to solve this, i need to open 2010 financial year. Plz suggest what is the real problem & solution
for this.
Thanks

Cycle count(MICN) problem at year end

Hi folks,
For cycle counting, if the counting date exceeds the current year, it proposes the last date of current year as the first counting date.But i do not want sap, to propose the last date of current year for counting. it should give me the correct figure as per indicator ( A- 152 days, B- 360 days ).
if i do GR today & My indicator is A, then counting date should be after 152 days ( in 2010) . if it falls on next year, then it's ok.
but system is proposing last date( 31/12/2009) of current year if the date falls on next year(2010).
Plz suggect , how to solve this.
Thanks
pabi

Any item has to be counted once a year. the fiscal year is controlling the inventory period.
if you have a new material that you receive the first time at the end of the year, then you have to count it in this year the first time, and the next time after your defined number of days.
Thats system design, you cant change it.

There is no way to Cancel the Cycle count document. however you can click on 0 count so that it wont post any new entry on the cycle count.

Cycle counting greater than one year

Looking for a method to have cycle counting (table V_159C) set at three year intervals. Seems that it is not possible to set at less than one year. No decimals are allowed.
Can anyone assist?
Thanks Bruce

Hi Bruce
The idea is to count all the materials at least once in an year.
We did this for one of our customers (Good ABAP required):
a) Maintain settings for CC in IMG for A,B,C,D classes. Whereever you want more than one year, we just maintained 1 (once in a year).
b) Maintained one more similar table.
c) Maintain material master with fixed CC indicators for all materials
d) Copy the cycle count program and create you own program with new logic
Best regards

Cycle Counting procedures in ECC 6.0

HI all.,
SUB: Cycle counting in ECC 6.0 with WM implemented
Ref : Industry : Apparel
What would be the differences in the cycle counting procedure working on Version 4.6C and ECC 6.0.?
In 4.6C , we normally change the indicators of A,B,C or D in OMCO and set the parameters of frequency of cycle counting , say yrly, half yearly, quarterly or monthly.
Would the cycle counting procedure be the same with ECC 6.0?
I understand that from Version 5.0, we can do cycle counting without freezing the book stock i.e have open transfer orders unlike in 4.6C wherein we have to stop GR or GI at the time of cycle count.
Is the procedure same in ECC 6.0 ?
Do educate further on the Cycle count procedure for ECC 6.0 with WM implemented for an AFS related industry.
Thanks

Hi,
Try this it worked for me though,
1. Goto SPRO_ADMIN
2. Select the Project
3. Choose Change
4. Go To Transport Requests TAB
5. Activate CTS Functionality
6. Save it after the Pop Up
7. Go to Se10 and check if the Project Field is getting Populated with the Desired Project or not.

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

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

Can standard program RMCBIN00 calculate cycle count for 2 years?

Hi Experts,
Can any one clarify my doubt.
The calculation of cycle counting period to be two (2) years rather than the one (1) year that standard SAP uses. The cycle count indicators that determine the frequency of the counts for each material need to be used in conjunction with the 2 year cycle. Is standard RMCBIN00 calculate for Two year cycle count??
Moderator message: not directly related to ABAP development, please have a look in the respective functional forum.

Hello,
You can do cycle counting with Rf transaction LM59 for the serialised material.
1.My experience says when you have HUM activated then to track material HU & serialisation profile works together.
2.You can do cycle counting of serailised & non serialsed material through Rf gun but clearance of this material will be issue. You may have to create one more transaction to clear the difference of serialised materials like LI20
Hope this input helps.

CYCLE COUNT INDICATORS WITH ABC FOR MATERIALS NOT GENERATING SESSION MICN

HI ALL.
THANKS IN ADVANCE.
WHILE DOING CYCLE COUNT .
ALREADY EXISTING MATERIALS WITH ABC INDICATORS.
NOT GENERATION SESSION IN MICN.
LOOKING FOR ANSWERS FROM SAP MM MEMBERS.
REGARDS.
PARAMESHWAR
Edited by: Csaba Szommer on Jun 30, 2011 9:48 AM

how often a material is to be counted is defined in customizing of your ABC cycle count indicators and its assignment to the material master.
at which day the material is due for counting depends on last count date for this material (or creation date of material master accounting view if no last count date is available).
and last but not least it is the user who decides for which period (from and to date) he want create inventory documents with MICN
for example, just enter a from date of today and a to date December 31st 2011, and SAP will show you all materials that are due to be counted in that period with the proposed counting date.

What if I exceed in 1000 maximum cycle count in my MBA battery?

thanks for the concern and help

To add to Joey's excellent response, a quote from Apple's support website:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1519
"Batteries have a limited amount of charge cycles before they are considered to be consumed. Once consumed, a replacement battery is recommended. You can use your battery after it reaches its maximum cycle count, but you may notice a reduction in your battery life. Knowing how many charge cycles are on your battery and how many are left can help you determine when a battery replacement is required. For optimal performance, replace your battery when you reach the maximum cycle count."
The cycle count is just there to determine warranty eligibility; batteries past the maximum cycle count for that model are ineligible for free replacement, regardless of whether they are covered by AppleCare or hardware warranty.

Cycle Count Problem

Hi,
The 'Cycle Count Items' form is blank even after compliing and have seven items against cycle account name'Warehouse 2011' Any ideas where we are going wrong?
Many thanks

Any item has to be counted once a year. the fiscal year is controlling the inventory period.
if you have a new material that you receive the first time at the end of the year, then you have to count it in this year the first time, and the next time after your defined number of days.
Thats system design, you cant change it.

Cycle Counting - New on SAP

We are new on sap. So most of our materials have never been counted. I have run mibc(ABC analysis), then I ran micn by material group to generate a cycle count. One of my 'A' materials is missing. It's in stock and we've never counted it before. Shouldn't everything that hasn't been counted come up on my cycle count? If I extend my cycle count date out, it comes up, but it's not due until 6/1/2009 to be counted.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

1. What was the planned count date range that did not show the one A material and the range that did?
I originally ran the count for 5/6/2009 - the A item was not included
When I extended my date range to 5/6/2009 to 8/30/2009, the item was included, however it wasn't due to count until 6/1/2009, and it was being placed on a physical inventory count sheet for that future date.
2. What other checks and values are you using in MICN?
Selection Criteria:
plant - 3020
Storage Location - 0001
Material Group - KIDD
materials marked for deletion - checked
Stock Level:
materials w/o zero stock -checked
Data in Phys Inv Doc Header:
Date 5/6/2009
Batch Input Session:
Issue Log - checked
Name of Session - MB_MI01_CN
Max. No. of Items - 333
Sort by:
Material Group - checked
Enter grouping criterion in doc header - checked
What is the stock level of this material?
52 unrestricted
I did find also that the consultant that configured our cycle counts made an error. The A items are set to count 2 times a year. But would that make a difference? I thought everything that wasn't counted and was in stock for that material group would show up.

OSS note 518418
In principle, the program calculates the planned date of physical
inventory according to the following formula:
planned date = base date + Interval (Trans.OMCO/Tab.XT159C-ININV)
Usually, the base date is the 'date of the last physical inventory'.
Depending on the type of the stock or the batch management
requirement, this date is read from one of the following table
fields:
MARD-DLINL (Normal materials)
MCHB-CHDLL (Batch materials, separately valuated materials)
If no physical inventory has been carried out yet and if this date
field is therefore empty, the system uses the creation date of the
material as basis date. The basis date then comes from one of the
following table fields:
MSTA-ERSDA (Normal materials)
MCHB-ERSDA (Batch materials, separately valuated materials)
Since the cycle counting physical inventory always runs for the
current fiscal year, the earliest possible physical inventory date
is the 01.01. and the latest possible physical inventory date is the
31.12 of the current year.

MIE1 :: Sale order cycle count issue

Dear All,
II am using transaction MIE1 to create inventory documents for sales order stock. I am receiving many more items to count than expected. I checked the cycle count indicator and materials coded to be counted only once a year and last counted in February and March in table MSKA, but still when i executer IME1 system is picking it for cycle count.
We are on SAP 4.67. Our fiscal year ended at the end of September.
Anyone know why these materials would show as due to count now?
Thanks,
Chaithru

Hi Terry,
To be honest there is not normally any standard manipulation of the bin sequence in Physical Inventory, but here are a few places to look here (Grab a coffee first)
Logistics > Warehouse Management > Strategies > Define Sort Sequence for Putaway >
Logistics > Warehouse Management > Strategies > Define Sort Sequence for Removal >
These two items determine the sort order priorty of your bin numbers, eg. if your bin numbers are 10 digits long, you could sort the bins in order using key co-ordinates with differing priority. So the second character of your bin could be sorted prior to the first character. (The logic here will be based upon the individual warehouse layout/rules)
Next have a look in
Logistics > Warehouse Management > Activities > Transfers > Processing Performance > Profiles (Have a look at Sort profile)
Logistics > Warehouse Management > Activities > Transfers > Processing Performance > Control for Performance Data Processing / Define TO Split
In these two you can manipulate the sort order of the bin numbers in TO and other documents, can look complex but is simple when you have understood the logic
Good luck
Steve
