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.

  • Finite cycles counter problem

    Hello,
    I am new to working with counters etc.  I have a PCI-MIO-16e4 (NI-PCI-6040E) board and am working in VB.net with Ni-DAQmx.  I am trying to send (sequentially) bytes of data to a device, sending a strobe signal (hi-lo transition) on a counter output line each time to notify the device that the byte is ready to be read.  Timing is important and fast.
    This is the process:
    (a)  Load byte to digital output lines
    (b)  Set counter 1 output to Low
    (c)  Hold low for 150 microseconds
    (d)  Set counter output to High (minimum 5 microseconds)
    (e)  Load next byte on digital output lines
    (f)  Go back to step b
    I thought I could easily do this using the following code:
            Dim writer As New DigitalSingleChannelWriter(ByteChannel.Stream)  'ByteChannel is a task for the digital output lines
           TransmitChannel = New Task
           TransmitChannel.COChannels.CreatePulseChannelTime("Dev1/ctr1", "Xmt", COPulseTimeUnits.Seconds, IdleHigh, 0, 0.00015, 0.000005)
           TransmitChannel.Timing.ConfigureImplicit(SampleQuantityMode.FiniteSamples, 1)
            For a = 0 To 63
                writer.WriteSingleSamplePort(True, Packets(a))  'place the next byte on the line
                TransmitChannel.Start()
                Do Until TransmitChannel.IsDone
                    Application.DoEvents()
                Loop
                TransmitChannel.Stop()
            Next a
    This gives me the low/high transition I need but the timing does not work - it takes much longer for each iteration to finish  (> 50 millseconds for a pulse train that should last about 200 microseconds) than the timing I set up above would suggest.  I have searched around but have not found anything online that helps me understand what I need to do to rectify this.  Does anyone have any suggestions of what I can change or a more elegant way to do this?
    thank you
    David

    What you're currently doing is starting and stopping 64 finite tasks.  Each iteration of the loop the task outputs 1 byte on your digital lines, and then stops, repeats the loop, starts the task with a new byte in memory, and then stops again.
    This starting and stopping of the task takes a significant amount of time.
    What you need to do instead is a buffered digital output task.  In a buffered digital output task you can specificy all 64 bytes, and then it will iterate through each one at the rate you specify and from some external clocking source.  You can see this done in the shipping example ContWriteDigPort_ExtClk (found if you go to the start menu and navigate to Programs»National Instruments»NI-DAQ»Text-Based Code Support».NET 3.5 Examples and then browse to \Digital\Generate Values\ContWriteDigPort_ExtClk\VB
    However, one very important thing to note, is that E series devices (such as the PCI-6040E) only support software-timed, on-demand digital tasks.  This means they do not support hardware timed tasks, such as buffered digital generation.  
    That means there is no way you will be able to get your 150 microsecond timing from this card when doing digital generation.  M series devices do support hardware timed, buffered digital generation with an external sample clock (such as your counter), and X series devices support buffered digital generation with either an external sample clock or an internal sample clock at a rate you specify, since they have a new digital timing engine on them as well.
    You can still optimize your code however, by not starting and stopping the task each iteration, but rather start the task before the loop, and stop it after.  Inside the loop you will simply need to use the WriteSingleSamplePort command in the loop.  In fact, you pretty could do this I believe (note, I did not test this first):
      TransmitChannel.Start()
            For a = 0 To 63
                writer.WriteSingleSamplePort(True, Packets(a))  'place the next byte on the line
            Next a 
                Do Until TransmitChannel.IsDone
                    Application.DoEvents()
                Loop 
    TransmitChannel.Stop()

  • 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

  • Load Cycle Count over 7500 in just 5 days on new DV4 series notebook

    Hi,
      I'm really concerned about my new laptop i bought just a week ago (dv4-4172); it happens that the disk is making a lot of noise just like the infamous 'clicking sound of death' and reporting up to now, more than 7500 load cycles in just 5 days of operation and also, 2 errors in the CRC of the UDMA. Since my hard disk (Hitachi HTS547564A9E384 640.1 GB) was behaving like that i ran several test on the disk (HP's BIOS run-tests, HDD Tune, smartctl (short and the long one), etc.) but i'm not getting a single read-write error, that is, the system hasn't any functional/operational problem, yet. Furthermore, my disk's lifespan is 600000 load cycles and i'm getting about 1500 in just a day, you don't even need a calculator to realize the harddisk won't last more than 1.5 years. The constant clicking of the disk is also getting on my nerves too .
      The question here is, is it normal for this hard disk to have an average count of 1500 load/unload in a day (i.e. 1 cycle every minute) or is my disk the only one with suicidal attitudes?. My last notebook's harddisk (Seagate) didn't get more than 100k cycles in 2 years of operation, that's why i'm concerned...
      Naturally, hdparm solves the issue, but (partially or permanently) disabling my harddisk's APM is even more suicidal than my disk's actual attitude, and by the way, you need some technical skillset to change those values (I'm a linux sysadmin, so i knew how to solve that specific issue), why is the default configuration set as this? or is HP expecting every single user to know how to modify the APM or, if you don't, to have a seat while watching your hard disk self destruction take place.
    Thanks in advance.
    - melvin
    FYI, the problem is agnostic of which operating system i use, even in the POST stage the harddisk starts with that annoying clicking (and its corresponding cycle count increased), and yeah, i've updated all my drivers and followed every suggestion hp support assistant gave to me, like the nice guy i am.
    This question was solved.

    Hello uncle_sam,
    You’re having a problem with the hard drive.
    The drive is not supposed to be making any noise.
    Since the unit is still new I’d call HP and have them send you a new HDD.
    Here is a link to the phone number.

    Let me know how everything goes.

  • ABC analysis for Cycle Counting.

    Hi SAP gurus,
    I am facing a problem from the user. While doing the ABC analysis for cycle counting using the Transaction MIBC, he is getting an error " table T159c is not maintained for plant XXXX". when i checked it SPRO cycle counting is not done for that particular plant.
    My question is : Where do we maintainc CC Physical inv indicator ? I have checked at material level in Gen.Plant/Sloc view, it is not maintained . so may be they have maintained at Plant level. where do we maintain at plant level.?

    Hi
    1) Maintain the Percentages against A,B,C,D cycle counting indicators in OMCO
    2) Perform  MICN to schedlue the batch input session for Creation of physical Inventory documents
    3) MIBC-For ABC analysis for Cycle counting .
    Note : the percentages maintained in OMCO will decide on the classification of the material as to when the Physical inventory needs to be done based on either the consumtion values/Requirement values

  • 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...

  • Inventory Cycle Count

    Hi All,
    I'm tryin to create cycle recommendations. If i update the old item groups with the newly created cycles, and when i run the cycle count recommendation, it shows an error, " No matching records found ITW1."
    But when i create a new item group and attach a new cycle count, it works. What is the reason for this and how can this be solved?
    We are on 2007B, PL14

    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.

  • 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?

  • New HDD Load / Unload Cycle Count increasing extremely fast !

    Hi all
    I just upgrade my Pavilion dv5 HDD. The new model is Hitachi Travelstar 7K500 (HTS725050A9A364). However, I found my new HDD's Load / Unload Cycle Count increasing extremely fast!
    Until now the number of Load / Unload Cycle is 12,127. However, the new HDD only power on 137hours. (About 1 week of my use.)  The data below is my new HDD's SMART data (by EVEREST 5.50):
    ID   
    01    Raw Read Error Rate    62    100    100    0

    C7    Ultra ATA CRC Error Rate    0    200    200    0  
    DF    Load/Unload Retry Count    0    100    100    0   
    I'm pretty sure that the data is correct, because I can hear the HDD's Load / Unload sound very frequently. The C1 row increase about 2,000 per day.  However my previous Hitachi 5K320 has no problem. The running operating system are both Windows 7.
    I'm so worry about this. As you know, laptop HDD's L / UL Cycle is designed at 600,000. If my HDD continue increasing like this, it will reach this number in a very short time. Any one can help me?

    It's a feature of modern 2.5" harddisks , the disk parks the head when its been inactive for a while, to avoid damage , uses less power , and reduces the heat etc gives the harddisk a better looking spec sheet , its meant to park its head after being inactive for a long time around an hour with proper management from the bios/os of the head parking feature, because there is nothing to manage this feature in hp's bios or os the disk parks the head about every minute for no reason then after 1 second the head goes back on the disk thats 1 load/unload cycle , it also effects performance as the head has to find its place back on the disk , load times will decrease by alot , videos will stutter the first few secs, i have the same problem but not as bad after 130 hours i had a count of around 1,250 load/unloads , different brands of disk have different idle timers plus i use utorrent which stops the harddisk from idling so much, there are a couple of solutions, you can find a tool to update/mod the harddisk firmware to increase the idle timer ( i decided against this as you can permently brake the harddrive and void the warrenty) , contact hp and request a bios update with proper management or the harddisk head parking feature i.e tell the harddisk it is idle after an hour, the temperary solutions are download hd tune and run it all the time this stops the harddisk from parking its head as it doesn't let it go idle , or the solution i am using at the moment download a programme called HDD scan , everytime you turn on/off  you have to run the prog go to tasks/features/ide features set the advance power management from its default value to 254 then press set, no more unnessary load/unloads, downside is the disk runs a couple of 0c hotter mine still never goes above 40c even under full load thanks to a active cooling pad, also its less well protected against shock.

  • Cycle Count Cutover

    The company I'm working with has been doing annual "wall-to-wall" Physical Inventory counts. They now want to cutover to Cycle Counting and have 20,000 materials that they manage in inventory. The last count was performed in October of 2006. So the concern is that if they turn on cycle counting, it will create count docs for all materials. They want a way of staggering the docs automatically so that the warehouse is not hit all at once. I mentioned that the problem would be lessened if they rolled out cycle counting right after the next wall-to-wall, but their setup is as follows:
    A is counted monthly
    B is counted bi-monthly
    C is counted semi-annually
    So, they would also end up with all of their Cs on the same day (6 months after the last wall-to-wall). They will have to figure out a way to stagger the counts so that they get a manageable daily volume of count documents.  Does anyone have suggestions as to how to cutover in a reasonable way?
    Thanks,
    Richard

    Hello Richard,
    They can use Flot time functionality which will allow them to create the inventory document within flot time period. for ex. if you are defining flot time as 5 days then still you have chance to do inventory count for due material in 5 days, if dont count in this 5 day then that material/bin will pushed in the next cycle count period.
    Now in initial period they need to create inventory document manually as per their capability.
    Once they will be on regular basis then they can set batch job for it.
    Hope this helps.

  • 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.

  • Trigger cycle count when zero qty is picked

    I need help with the following issue.
    Currently when the user confirms a TO with LM05 and selects confirm with differences (and enters zero qty picked) the system cancels the TO but no additional steps are taken to ensure that the cycle count team knows of the inventory variance ..
    How can we trigger a cycle count in this instance when we are confirming with differences and Qty picked is 0.
    Can someone please outline the steps needed in config.

    Ah, I see you dont even have a problem with cycle count, you just do not know how to enter the scrap quantity during the daily work.
    It depends, as everything in SAP, on the process were the scrap material appears.
    If it appears as a by-product in while you produce something, then the quantity is created with movement type 532
    But if you create this scrap if a worker damages soemthig, then you issue the damaged material with 201 to a cost center, and then you do a 202 movement to create stock at a scrap material master.
