Cycle count Storage location selection

Hi,
Could someone explain to how the Storage locations are selected when I run transaction MICN.
Our settings in config are like this
I have a material in one storage location, it has never been counted. I run the transaction MICN for that material in my plant with today's date nothing is returned. I change the date to one year in the future and the system returns many locations including the one the material is in. I can comprehend that because the count date is empty in the mard table, I have to enter a future date but why do I get many location where the material is not even stored in?
By the way as we only want to count all our items once per year, they have all been set with the letter D in the material master.
Kind Regards
Thierry

Where do you see the advantage of cycle counting if all your materials are classified with D?
In that case you can just use MI31 and do annual inventory.
If you have no last count date, then SAP uses the creation date if the accounting view.
Which is for all materials equal if you loaded them before go-live.
And the storage location is coming from MARD table, all locations for which your material was created. And because you did not activate the box to exclude the materials with zero stock.

Storage location selection in RQAAAS10 QA07

hello
i want to run trx qa07 storage location wise.
is it possible to run this report for specific storage locations?
or is there any user exit to control inspection lot or material document creation for storage location?
my main purpose is
1- create inspection lot and material document only for ( storage location x)
but if if it is not possible, material creating material document in storage location wise will also solve my problem.

hello
what you mean by one by one?
there is only material in selection screen. there is no field like storage location?
the problem is because of decentralised warehouse scenario. system do not allow to make stock movement from decentralised WM storage location and regular storage location at the same time. If same batch is in different storage location, we have problem. if there is no stock in decentralised WM managed storage location, there is no problem with material document from different storage locations.
So we have to options:
1- not to allow stock movement for decentalised WM managed storage location
2- to do another material movement for each storage location

Automatic storage location selection while doing usage decision

hi gurus,
My client wants to do automatic determination of storage location depending upon usage decision.
i.e. if usage decision is reject than gr to be done at rejection storage location. if usage decision is accepted than gr to be done at respective storage location.
The storage location can be changed manually but they require automatic determination of storage location.

Storage location selection for variable size item

Hi All
There is a BOM of finished good Material "XYZ" and there is a component "A" in the BOM. This Component A is a variable size item, its a metallic bar of length 4 meters. In BOM XYZ, only 1.5 meters is consumed.
Now when a production order is made for XYZ and the confirmation is done with movement type 261. All the materials are backflushed along with component A . The client's requirement is to transfer the remaining length of component A (i.e. 4 - 1.5 = 2.5 meters ) to a different storage location at the time of confirmation.
Please let me know how is it possible.
Thanks in Advance
Rohit

FULL STEPS:
1.first do mb1b 311 mvmt transfer posting for the components from raw-stor location to prod stor location. you can do for A
2. do GI for the components. for A for that final product . consume 1.5 so. the remaining component will be (3 ) there in the stor. location as per sap. (check in mmbe)
3. then do mb1b 311 transfer posting for the A component to raw-stor location. from the prod stor location.
or rever the transfer posting mb1b 312.

Can PIR created at wbs element and MRP area of storage location level

Hi,
I tried to create an planned independent requirement at MRP area and WBS element level, but failed. The MRP area is not plant level, but storage location level.
*When trying to create account assignment category Q for it, then there is an error message saying:*
**only stock requirements are allowed when planning at MRP area level.**
Does it mean it is not possible to create planned independent requirement for this case?
Thanks!

Select the "Issue storage location" as '2' here:
spro -> production -> material requirement planning -> mrp groups -> overall maintenance of mrp groups -> overview -> mrp control parameters at material level -> (field) Issue storage location selection
& make sure:
1. In the BOM issue storage location is blank for the components
2. For the FG products , in mrp area prod.storage loc is maintained
3. Components are extended to the mrp area.
Pl. revert with the results

Storage Location Authorization

Hello,
I want to authorize user A to make material movements in     Plant 1001 Storage 1000, 1001, 1002...9000
                                                                                Plant 1002   Storage 9000
                                                                                Plant 1003   Storage 9000 etc.
So, first I followed path SPRO - MM - Inventory Management and Physical Inventory - Authorization Management - Authorization check for storage management   and enabled storage authorization.
Then In PFCG under Goods Movement: Storage Location I selected related storage locations and plants as above but it still allowed user A to make movements to storage 1001, 1002 of plant 1002 and 1003.
In our system every plant has storage locations called 1000,1001,1002...9000. Does the system recognize the storage locations selected in PFCG according to the plants selected. To be more precise, ıf I select, 1001, 1002 and 1003 for plants, and
(plant-storage loc) (1001-1000, 1001-1001, 1001-1002, 1002-9000) does the system recognize it as if I want to be authorized for 1002-1000, 1002-1001,1002-1002 ?

Hi
You can do it additive, for instance.
Only can create movement 101 and 102, others only view them:
ACTVT = 01,02
BWART = 101, 102
LGORT = *
WERKS = *
and add newly the object M_MSEG_LGO with other parameters.
ACTVT = 03
BWART = *
LGORT = *
WERKS = *
Of course, you have other auth.objects (eg: M_MSEG_BWF, M_MSEG_WMB,...). If other object avoid that the user can do it, run tcode SU53, it will tell you what object avoid that user can do it.
I hope this helps you

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.

Storage location as selection criteria in MC42

Hello,
Transaction MC42 gives a very good information for stock management, however we need to have the analysis restricted by storage location.
Is it possible to create a new Z program by copying RMCBRW30 and add "Storage Location" as selection criteria? Or there is another standard solution?
Best regards,
Helena Peixoto.

Have you ever looked into the coding of this program ? and read how the data is retrieved and from which source?
Just adding the location as selection criteria is not sufficient.
Most important would be to have knowledge how the data is captured and stored in infostructures. If it is not stored with storage location as aggregation level, then you will not have a chance to get the result according to storage location.......except.......you are doing planning at MRP area level (a MRP area can be a storage location). And MRP area is already in the selection.

HT2470 Why won't Itunes store my music library in my User/Music Folder, if I select my user name as a storage location in Itunes, Itunes creates folders for artist name right in my user folder, instead of in my user/music folder

Why won't Itunes store my music library in my User/Music Folder?
If I select my user name as a storage location in Itunes, Itunes creates folders for artist name right in my user folder, instead of in my user/music folder. This gets especially annoying because if I tell Itunes to store my "media" in my user/music folder, Itunes will then create a folder named "music" in my "music" folder and will also create additional folders in my user/music folder location to store other non-music media in as well. It is very annoying to see this lack of affinity for folders between two Apple created programs.

Automatic selection of products in a plant but differant storage locations

Hi Gurus
Here is a requierment from our client that is they maintain differant storage locations based on differant prices however they want automatic selection of products during sales order entry, based on manufacturing date like FIFO comparing differant storage locations with in a plant. if you have come across these scenario and other solutions relate to this
please share your experiance
with regards
Baalakrushnan.da

hello, friend.
yes, we have come across this. first, your material should be batch managed specifying FIFO. then, inventory/availability search should be plant level instead of storage location level.
i will try to get back to you with the specifics. but in the meantime, you could probably get your MM consultant to help you with this.
regards.

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.

ABC CYCLE COUNT

We want to Cycle Count using the ABC method and base it on material cost
A parts - over 12K (count once a month)
B Parts - between $500 and 12K (count once a quarter)
C Parts - under 5K count (count once a year)
We cycle count every day.
Do all the materials need to have there own bin location? We want to count 34 materials a day.
As 3
Bs 10
Cs 21
34 Materials a day to cover all of our parts the way we want to count them.
Our bins have several mixed parts in them so if I count A part it may be in 3 different locations. I was told you not only have to count all 3 parts but all parts that are in that same bin even if it is not in the cycle count. This can't be right.
Tell me there has been a fix if this is the case.
Thanks

For cycle count, system will automatically select and proposed to you the material number to be counted into a physical inventory document based on the config you specified for the ABC indicator. Based on the material number proposed by the the system (plant , storage location,with/without bin location) you then perform the physical inventory count.
Could you reorganised your question so that people understand what exactly u r asking.
best regards,
Eric.
