Cycle Count Scheduling in 11.5.9

Running a cycle count by period. Cycle count was established to start on 27-Aug-07. Created the Perform full cycle count (Report Set) which runs every month...however in September the auto schedule in the cycle count form has the next date as 24-Sep-07 yet the report set which is set to run monthly will run on the 27-Sep-07...and this disconnect will continue month after month. Did I miss something obvious in set up or is there no way to have the report set in synch with auto schedule on the cycle count?
Thanks in advance.

Single cycle count scheduling

Please help me understand system behavior for a single cycle count plan.
Say I have it set up with an annual estimate of 52,000 and PM to be done weekly, ie a count of every 1000. Shift factors set to 100% and call horizon 0%. I initialize my counter at 100,000. When I schedule my first order, it is set a week out for 6/5 for projected counter reading 101,000. So far so good.
Now technician decides to do the PM work a week early. He confirms the work order today (5/29), and a counter reading of 100,500 is entered. The system responds by scheduling a new order for 6/2 and keeps next projected counter reading at 101,000.
Questions:
1) Why is the next counter reading kept at 101,000 instead of 101,500? Say a bicycle chain needs to be greased every 1000 revolutions of the chain. If I grease the chain after only 500 revolutions, why would the system not schedule the next greasing 1000 revolutions out? (And is there a setting to enable this?!)
2) Why did system pull in the next work order a few days early to 6/2? If I have consumed my 52,000 annual estimate at an accelerated rate, shouldn't all subsequent orders be stretched out (still 52 weeks, divided by 51,500)? (
Thanks,
Vlad

687 comes by summing up current reading (123) with Cycle frequency (564).
From Current reading 123 to reach 687, it will take 7 days (564 / 80), System considers the date of 16/06/2014 to calculate 23/06/2014.
Whenever you change the Maintenance Plan scheduling parameters or Cycle frequency, Maintenance plan should be restarted to generate the new schedule lines.
And, by changing some data in existing plan & based on system response, we can't predict the system calculation. We can give you the suggestions on how all the parameters should be maintained in Maintenance plan & Measuring Point (in case of Performance based plan) to generate the order in specific way.
As we can't make replica exactly what you made, it will be never possible to give proper advice on system behavior.
If you want to see the calculation behind date calculation, select the particular row in IP10 & click "Calculator" button. There you can see the calculation.
Measurement document should be created while doing TECO of PM order. In TECO pop up, you can find the button as "Create Measurement document".
Refer this blog which has been created by considering your scenario.

Perform Full Cycle Count - No Data Found

I am trying to initialize a full cycle count for all items in a subinventory. I have a recent ABC compile set and a new cycle count setup. A, B, C and D classes are all set to count 1x per year. I have verified that all items from the compile are no in the cycle count. I submitted a "Cycle Count Scheduler" request and ensured that it completed. I then set all the parameters in the "Perform Full Cycle Count" request and set to save to file. After it completes and I view the output, the file says "No data found". My only recourse is to dump all items from Material workbench and use Data Load to enter them in ( a bit tedious for 900+ items). Is there anything I need to be doing different?

You mention that you have done the ABC setups.
But in Cycle count setups, have you defined a cycle count schedule?
And more importantly, in cycle count classes, have you entered the frequency at which each class should be counted?
Last but not the least, what is the last count date (on the serial and schedule tab)?
If it is today, you will have to wait till tomorrow.
Hope this helps,

Duplicate Items in Cycle Count

Hello -
I am new to setting up Cycle Counts.
We have a count that is weekly and it is generating the same count for week 2 as it did for week 1 for all subinventories.
It is setup with a yearly calendar defining the weeks.
It is setup for the Org on the 1st of the month.
It is setup on a scheduler as weekly.
Once it is setup - we run the Cycle Count Scheduler and then run the Generate Count Requests.
Generally the team at the subinventory location will run the weekly counts a few days prior to the due date In this case. run the count for 4/1-4/7 for their subinventory location and then do the count and enter by the 8th.
When they ran their counts on 4/9 and and 4/10 for 4/8-4/14 - the same items (new tag numbers) printed for each subinventory location.
We did find that someone in another location reran the Generate Count Requests on 4/8.
Did this maybe cause the count to restart and duplicate week 1 data as week 2 data?
Thanks for any suggestions or assistance.

Cycle Counts - Manually schedule by From and To Locator

We run Cycle Counts for a range of stock locators. However, when manually scheduling a Cycle Count, the only option is to enter locators one by one. So, if one subinventory has 300 stock locators and we'd like to count only 200 of them, we'd have to enter each locator. We are finding this very impractical. Hoping someone has come across this and thought of something innovative - as we can only think of using Dataload to load the locators.

Hi,
I think the solution for your question can be solved using the ABC compiles, ABC assignment groups. Just check the topics once.

Manually schedulled cycle count items are not coming in cycle count listing

We had scheduled some items for manual cycle counting for particular date. But those are not getting generated in cycle count listing report or not avialble for counting.
Checkpoints done: 1. Items are cycle count enabled
2. Those items are avialable in that Cycle count Name
3. Onhand is avialbe for those items in particular subinventory
4. Cycle count scope is specific to Subinventory and that sub inv is included in the list
Can anyone give some thoughts why those manually schedulelled items are still not getting in cycle count listing report?
Thanks in Advance

Hi Avinash,
Can you please let us know, are you using the CC with ABC analysis?

What is the Significance of Late Days in Cycle Counting

Hi All,
I would appreciate if you could someone please let me know the significance of "Late Days" under Scope and Control tab in cycle counts form while defining.
We are using 12.1.3 version.
Regards,
John

Late Days tells when a scheduled count should be considered late.
So if you make late days = 5 and if you schedule a cycle count today. After 5 days, it will be considered late.
AFAIK, this field is not used in Oracle. But you can use it in reports.

Regarding Cycle Count Entries

Dear All,
I am doing cycle counting in which I have 10 Items in my subinventory. I have completed ABC Analysis and classified first 2 items as A and next 3 item as B and remain 4 items as C. Even I have performed Cycle Count as well.
In Cycle count entries i am not able to enter count quantity for my entire 10 items instead it is showing only 6 items only. Why I was not able to see remaining 4 items and how do I enter count quantity for those missed 4 items?
What would be the solution if i want to see all my 10 items in in cycle count entries form?

Can you check mtl_cceoi_action_pub.import_CountRequest api?
Please make sure you carry out the following before calling the API.
1. Create a Cycle Count
2. Enter a Manual Cycle Count Entry.
3. Run program "Perform Complete Cycle Count" to generate generate cycle count request
4. Post the count Entries using the by calling the API using your Script.
Check the following MOS notes.

Cycle count listing Report not generating out put

Hi Team ,
We are into 11.5.10.2 , We have set Auto schedule to weekly in cycle counts and cycle count is not generating output for cycle count listing in Production.
But, we are able to generate report output in Test instance and unable to generate in Production . We tried testing with same login in Production and Test Instance .
Please advice
Thanks
Kiran

Also please confirm that the CC calendar and other CC related setups are exactly same from the PROD and TEST instances.
Also make sure that you are running the report for the same INV org.. as there is no Input parameter for the Org in the report input but it picks from the MFG_ORG_ID profile value, which gets assigned when you loginto the responsibility.. You can confirm the selection by Chane Instance Org and select the Inv org and then run the report..

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?
Rgds,
-Kamal

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

Cycle Count in MM

Dear All,
If my client wanted to setup the cycle count (MM) with A, B, C and D indicator, what would be the best way to perform the test? I can't afford to wait for months to perform the test.
E.g.
Plant     CC Indc.    Interval
0001          A            6
0002          B            3
0003          C            1
Material M1 - CC Indc. = "B"
Another questions are:
1. How do I distribute the Percentage for each CC Indc.? As far as I know, it cannot be more than 100%
    right?
2. Can I set more/less than 4 indicators (Standard: A,B,C,D) as long as the percentage is still 100%?
3. Assuming that the material M1 is using "B" (CC Indc),
    a. Will the system auto-trigger/create the physical inventory document for the relevant materials or the
        user still needs to manually create the physical inventory document?
    b. If the document is not auto-created, is there anyway to set it with auto-creation?
    c. If the document is auto-created, will there be a chance to change the planned count date?
Appreciated for your helps.
Thank you.
Warmest Regards,
Edwin Fu

If my client wanted to setup the cycle count (MM) with A, B, C and D indicator, what would be the best way to perform the test? I can't afford to wait for months to perform the test.
Read OSS note 518418, it describes how the system selects mateials to be counted. Based on that you will know what you have to manipulate to do a good test.
Anyhow, if you enter a wide inventory period e.g. 09.Jan - 31. Dec., then SAP should as well be able to give you a wide variety of materials to be counted.
1. How do I distribute the Percentage for each CC Indc.? As far as I know, it cannot be more than 100%
right?
yes 100 % is the limit.
2. Can I set more/less than 4 indicators (Standard: A,B,C,D) as long as the percentage is still 100%?
yes
3. Assuming that the material M1 is using "B" (CC Indc),
a. Will the system auto-trigger/create the physical inventory document for the relevant materials or the
user still needs to manually create the physical inventory document?
No. User has to start the PID creation. This is usually done manually, as you have to organize many things before you actually can do the technical part in SAP. (Especially you have to inform all people who are doing movements that they have to enter everythig what was moved has to be entered before the invetory document gets created, for that reason I would never let the system create the document by its own with a scheduled job.
b. If the document is not auto-created, is there anyway to set it with auto-creation?
You can schedule the creation, but see my comment above
c. If the document is auto-created, will there be a chance to change the planned count date?
For what reason? Maybe because you dont have time to count? Thats why I recommend to create the documents by user interaction.

Automatic generation of physical Inv. docs. for Cycle Counts

I would like to know if physical inventory documents for cycle counts can be created automatically by SAP. i.e. all A class materials will have physical inventory documents generated automatically after every 3 months. Is this possible?
Many thanks.

Technically it is possible to run the creation program scheduled in background.
But not everything what is technically possible makes sense for the business process.
Before you generate inventory documents (it does not matter whether this is anual inventory or Cycle count) you have to make sure that any receipt or goods issue that happened before the count is posted in SAP.
This often can only be achieved by calling the Usual Suspects.
With a good organisation in place this can even be achieved with scheduled jobs, but such good organisations I have not seen often (did I ever?)
Further you might have a kind of misunderstanding. Each cycle count has all due to be counted materials, no matter if the CC indicator is A, B C or D. There is no field in the selection screen to tell SAP to just create inventory documents on A items.
The CC indicator defines how often a material is to be counted, but not when. The when is defined by last inventory, or accounting view creation date. So you should plan to count minimum once in a month, I recommend to do it weekly, but it depends on the number of items you have to count.

Physical inventory document created for Cycle counting

There are lot of physical inventory documents are created for materials around 2500 automaticallly
I have checked all MMR for materials, all these material set with cycle counting indicator 3 which mean that 25 pdhysical inventories and 10 physical intervels.
I have checked batch input but i did not any found batch input posted for this..
How the physical inventory documents are created automatically for these materilas.
Plz thorugh some light on me..

Hi
There is a process for creating the physical inventory document of your inventory. The lines are separately created for each product batch.
Probably the process will be scheduled and therefore it is executed and created the document.

Imran

Report for materials which have not been cycle counted.

Hi,
Is there any report which can show me materials which have not been cycle counted and also materials which have been cycle counted with the cc date?
Sincerely,
Nicky

Hi,
As of my knowledge, there is no standard report which can fulfill your requirement. You may go for development. Please check the similar thread: Cycle count analysis report
