Cycle counting proceedure

Hi gurus,
Can you guide me how to do a cycle counting for the materials step by step proceedure.
Also relevant configurations in the master data to be maintained.

In cycle counting, all materials need not be treated the same way. It allows fast moving materials to be counted more frequently than slow moving materials or high value items to be counted more frequently than low value items. A cycle counting indicator is set in material master which determines for a given plant, how frequently the material has to be counted, as in, once a year, twice a year, thrice a year and so on.

While creating physical inventory document in Step 1, material can also be blocked for posting. Otherwise transaction MI32 can be used after Step 1 to block the materials.
Steps 6 to 10 above are optional. If re-count is required then only these steps need to be carried out. Step 11 creates a material document, which leads to updating of SAP book inventory. In other words Step 11 leads to write-on or write-off of inventory based on physical inventory count.
SAP also provides T Codes to automate the process carried out in Step 1. By these transactions Physical Inventory Documents can be created in background in batch processing mode. MI31 enables creation of Physical inventory documents in bulk based on selection parameters for Periodic Inventory Count. Similarly MICN enables bulk creation of physical inventory documents for Cycle Counting.
There is an alternate ways of processing inventory count, where inventory data can be entered without reference to any physical inventory document, as mentioned below:

Cycle count for serialized material

Guys,
When we do cycle count for serialized items, it pop up to enter serial # when updating the count. Is there any BADI/User exist to skip this step in counting for serialized materials. We dont want to enter serial#, since volume is hugh and serial# is of less important, only count matters.
Regards
TGB

Once you active the series number, then all the material need marked and managed with series number.
and stock counting need under series number.
it will cost more time absolutely than no series number.
if you think the series number not important, you can Deactivate serial number.
But please note, the reason why you use serial number is to manage the material one by one against the series number.
NOT just count the quantity.

Serial number issue - Cycle count

Hi,
One of the employees in my organization commited a mistake by posting cycle count differences on consignment stock with incorrect serial numbers.
Some of these serial numbers have a correct post goods issue to other production orders. & then they have been incorrectly assigned to other materials in stock replacing the correct serial numbers by cycle count.
How do I correct the serial numbers?
Should I try to do another cycle count to correct this issue? What are the repurcussions if I increase the cycle count frequency so that I can do a cycle count?
How else can I solve this issue?
Sincerely,
Nicky

Hi,
I tried cancelling the cycle count document through transaction MI02 but it did not work.
Can I cancel a cycle count document after I have posted the difference? Is MI02 the transaction to be used for cancelling a cycle count doc?
Sincerely,
Nicky

Cycle count by quant with serial number

Hello all,
I have a scenario in which I have a mixed storage bin and there are multiple quants in the bin and each have a separate serial number. Now we have to carry out a cycle count based on the quant. I would like to know how to carry out the cycle count and also the procedure to carry out the cycle count. Pl. post the procedure and links related to it.
Thanks,
Maxx

Hi,
Cycle count is basically conducted either by Storage Type or Material.
If you are not maintaining a mixed bin strategy, you need to conduct on storage type.
Depending the no. of cyles in the whole year and based on Fast moving or Slow moving nature of the materials, system will decide the date.
Hope it is helpful.

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

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 Count API and Serial Items

We've been using mtl_cceoi_action_pub.import_countrequest to submit our cycle counts, but now have to include serial items.
I cannot find out how to link serial numbers to this procedure so that it can pass. There is a serial_number field in the record passed to the procedure, but how do I deal with quantities greater than 1?
Any ideas?
Many thanks.

You need to pass one serial at a time.
Hope this answers your question.

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.

REGARDS.

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.

Cycle count of Serialized parts at WM level

We have serilized parts in WM locations and question is how to do the cycle count these?
Thanks for the

Hello,
Based on my understanding . You are receiving goods with "E" stock ( special stock indicator). This E indicator comes with sales order number and line item will be stored( ex: E '151'000020) in the IM and WM stock. (you can see this in LS26/MMBE once you receive).So you canot issue this item for another line item of the same order. Coming to the questions you raised
1. "whether we could maintain stock at WM level without account assignment?".
What ever comes from IM will be the same in WM. So you can not change the stock indicator value only in WM while issuing goods to a specific on hand orders with "E" indicator. I hope you should do a process change either in SD/IM area than in WM. Because you said that "product (Fabric) has quite a lot of characteristics such as Width, Shrinkage, Shade only after the inspection process do they know which SU satisfies".
and So when you are creating a sale order of that kind you should have either not having the specific purchase( E stock ) or should have a BATCH with characteristics. OR you should transfer the stock to quality for quality inspection and then make available for issue. Either way you need to see this issue beyond WM level because this is a process of (SD/IM/FI) cross function.
2. "is there any way i could do a continous count for material & SU without taking into account the SO/LI.?".
I hope NOT.
I could not understand yardage problem while counting.i don't know if any physical material handling problem in warehouse will intern effect of your continuous counting.
I Hope looking more options in Batch/quality/sales order areas will certainly help you..... 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 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 <b>inventory count each day for each material</b> 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.

Cycle Counting

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

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 in IM

does cycle count in IM at storage location level for serialized material allow the entry of serial numbers when enetering the count?

Kiran,
If your material carries a serial no. profile that has a serialization attribute of mandatory, then yes once you enter the count and hit enter, it will ask for serial nos. to be entered as well.
Thanks,

MIBC - ABC Analysis for Cycle Counting -Report : RMCBIN00

Hi All,
We are trying to have our CC inventory indicators updated by using report RMCBIN00. We noticed that if a have a part with a very high value it is most likely to get indicator A even though the demand for that part is not as high as for a part with a very low price but that we sell thousands. Can some explain how can we use this report in such a way that considers demand? Thanks for your help.

A cycle count indicator A or B or C or D is allocated to material in the material master based on either consumption value (consumption X rate) or forecast value (forecast quantity X rate). You can also specify whether this analysis is to consider only the materials with cycle counting indicator or all materials. The cycle counting indicator in the material master records can be updated automatically by this program.
