Determination of Book Quantity in Physical Inventory

Dear Experts,
May we know how is the Book Quantity in MI20 being determined? Because when we processed a physical inventory, the book quantity as per MI20 differs from the inventory balance in MB51.
Your help will be rewarded. Thank you.

To help you better understand our problem, below is the scenario:
1. Physical Inventory Document (PID) is created today (Oct 27, 2008) but the planned count date is Sept 15, 2008.
2. Inventory balance as of PID creation date differs from the inventory balance as of Sept 15 2008 (which is the count date).
3. Physical Inventory count was entered today with Sept 15 2008 as count date.
4. When we view the List of Inventory Differences, the book quantity reflected is not the inventory balance as of Sept 15 2008.
Please enlighten us. Thank you.

    hi,
    Check ur Inspection lot selection in QA32, whether any lot is there with status UD ICCO STUP SPRQ. some times it was happened that lot will be their without stck posting relevant to that material. Due to which system doesn't allows you to post the stck.

  • Btach determination during Physical inventory

    Hi Gurus,
    Just wanted to know that while carrying out Physical Inventory, batches are getting automatically determined when i am creating the document and later viewing it.
    Can it be elaborated?
    Regards,
    SS

    SAP searches for any batch for this material in the same storage location  that has stock and is not counted in the current fiscal year.
    with settings in the selection screen, you can even control to include batches of the same material and storage location that have zero stock
    and you can control to include even already counted batches to be counted again.

    o Entire warehouse must be blocked for material movements during count.
    2. Continuous Physical Inventory
    o Stocks are counted continuously during the entire fiscal year.
    o It is important to ensure that every material is physically counted at least once during the year.
    3. Cycle Counting
    o In this method of physical inventory, inventory is counted at regular intervals within a fiscal year.
    o These intervals (or cycles) depend on the cycle counting indicator set for the material in Material Master record as CC indicator in plant view data.
    o With this Cycle Counting Method of Physical Inventory allows fast-moving items to be counted more frequently than slow-moving items.
    4. Inventory Sampling
    o Randomly selected stocks of the company are physically counted on the balance sheet key date.
    o If found not much variance between the counted stock and the book book stock, it is presumed that the book inventory balances for the other stocks are correct.
    Physical Inventory Process Cycle Flow
    1. Creation of physical inventory document
    - Physical inventory document(s) is created individually or using the batch program, click for more information
    - The transaction codes for creation physical inventory are as follow
    Individual Inventory documentation creation
    MI01 - Individual physical inventory creation
    MIS1 - Inventory Sampling document creation
    MICN - Cycle count inventory document creation
    Collective Inventory document creation
    MI31 - Own stock without special stock
    MIK1 - Vendor consignment
    MIQ1 - Project stock
    MIM1 - Returnable Transpiration material
    MIW1 - Customer Consignment stock
    MIV1 - Returnable material with customer
    MIO1 - Material provided to Vendor (Subcontracting material)
    2. Print physical inventory document
    - Physical Inventory document can be printed based on the physical inventory document status and or item status
    - Transaction code MI21 is used to print the inventory document where print default value can be populated
    3. Count the physical stock
    - Based on the inventory document printout, the warehouse person will check the stock of material physically and note that on print out. This is completely physical process.
    4. Enter count in system
    - On completion of physical count, the count result is needs to be entered in the system. This can be with reference (using Tcode MI04) or without reference (using Tcode MI04) to the physical inventory document.
    - If count quantity for that material is ZERO then select ZC (zero count) column instead of putting 0 in qty field. If 0 is used for zero count then systm will consider that as "not counted"
    5. Analyze difference
    - Once count is posted in the system, difference analysis can be carried out using transaction MI20
    - The output gives information based on the input criteria i.e. physical inventory document, plant, material etc.
    - The output gives information about the book quantity, Counted quantity, difference in quantity and value.
    - From this output list, you can carry out further process ie initiate recount, change count quantity, post difference
    6. Initiate recount and follow the steps 3,4,5
    - If found unacceptable difference, recount is initiated using directly from difference analysis list (transaction code MI20) or using transaction code MI11.
    - New inventory document will be created for selected items or for entire document
    - The original document items will be deactivated once recount is initiated so original document will not be available for further process.
    - On initiating recount, you need to process same as for new count document.
    7. Post the difference
    - Several options are available for posting difference
    - Post difference after count is posted using transaction code MI07
    - Posting the count and inventory differences using transaction code MI08, here you have created physical inventory but not counted so with this you can count and post difference in sinle step.
    - Entering the count without a document reference using trasnaction code MI10, with this you can create inventory document, enter the count and post difference in single step.
    some more points for posting difference
    - Posting period must be open to post inventory difference.
    - The fiscal year is set by specifying a planned count date when creating a physical inventory document.
    - Tolerence to crear difference per user group can be set in customization.
    - The system will generate material document for the difference qty and post the value to appropriate account (for valuated stock)
    - The movement type in material document will be 701 or 702 based on gain or loss of material.
    Serial Numbers in Physical Inventory
    If material is managed with serial number then it is possible to carry out physical inventory for material with serial number. There are some pre-requisite before you carry out physical inventory for serialized materials.
    - Serial number profile must be maintained in the material master.
    - the serialization procedure MMSL (maintaining goods receipt and goods issue documents) has to be assigned to serial number profile.
    - The stock check indicator in the serial number profile should be configured.
    - Maintain basic settings for the serial numbers in customization for Serial Number Profile.
    - Configure serial number management for physical inventory in the Settings for Physical Inventory step in Customizing for Inventory Management.
    Blocked Stock Returns are the stock which is return stock from Customer or the stock which can be return back to vendor. To restrict the usage of this stock mostly business do transfer posting for this mateial as BLOCKED stock

  • Problem in the Physical Inventory Count

    Hi Experts,
    We are facing a problem in the Physical Inventory Count as below
    1) Suppose for Material XYZ we have done the MI01 on the current date i.e 14.11.2008 with the Planned Count date as 08.11.2008 activating the Freeze Book Inventory check box.
    2) Now if there is any movement of material XYZ between 08.11.2008 & 14.11.2008, then while doing MI20 it compares the Physical Count Quantity with the actual book quantity as on 14.11.2008 i.e the current date & not with actual book quantity as on 08.11.2008 which is required by us.
    Can you kindly help us in rectifying this issue at the earliest???
    Regards,
    Samir Bhatt

    hi,
    In such cases, you use the adjust Book inventory indicator...
    SPRO --> MM --> Inventiry management and PI --> Physical inventory > Settings for the PI> Activate the ADj book inv indicator for your plant as per your plant and make the choice btween 2 and 3...
    By this the system will auto adjust the book inventory and the count for the goods mov posted.....
    Note: This feature is allowed if the posting is done one day after or before...
    But in your case, the days are more, so you need to use the recount technique...

  • Type of Physical Inventory

    Dear All,
                how many type of Physical Inventory we can do in SAP.Please explain in detials & also Steps(T-code).
    Regards
    Pavan

    Hi,
    Physical Inventory Locate the document in its SAP Library structure
    Purpose
    This component allows you to carry out a physical inventory of your company’s warehouse stocks for balance sheet purposes. Various procedures can be implemented for this.
    Scope of Functions
    In the SAP system, a physical inventory can be carried out both for a company’s own stock and for special stocks. Inventory for a company’s stock and for special stocks (such as consignment stock at customer, external consignment stock from vendor, or returnable packaging) must be taken separately (in different physical inventory documents), however.
    Note that the blocked stock returns and the stock in transfer cannot be inventoried. If these stocks are still to be counted in a physical inventory, you must transfer post these stocks to other stocks capable of inclusion in a physical inventory.
    The stock in a warehouse can be divided into stock types. In the standard system, a physical inventory can be carried out for the following stock types:
    ·        Unrestricted-use stock in the warehouse
    ·        Quality inspection stock
    ·        Blocked stock
    Note
    If batch status management is active, the first stock type covers both unrestricted-use stock and restricted-use stock.
    Inventory of all stock types mentioned can be taken in a single transaction. For the materials to be inventoried, one item is created in the physical inventory document for every stock type.
    Physical inventory takes place at storage location level. A separate physical inventory document is created for every storage location.
    If a material does not exist in a storage location, this means that no goods movement has ever taken place for the material in the storage location. The material, therefore, has never had any stock in this storage location. The material does not exist at stock management level in the storage location. It is therefore not possible to carry out a physical inventory for the material in this storage location.
    This is not to be confused with a material for which a goods movement has taken place and for which the stock balance is currently zero. A physical inventory must be carried out in this case, since storage location data is not deleted when the stock balance is zero.
    Physical Inventory Procedures
    The SAP System supports the following physical inventory procedures:
    ·        Periodic inventory
    ·        Continuous inventory
    ·        Cycle counting
    ·        Inventory sampling
    Periodic Physical Inventory
    In a periodic inventory, all stocks of the company are physically counted on the balance sheet key date. In this case, every material must be counted. During counting, the entire warehouse must be blocked for material movements.
    Continuous Physical Inventory
    In the continuous physical inventory procedure, stocks are counted continuously during the entire fiscal year. In this case, it is important to ensure that every material is physically counted at least once during the year.
    Cycle Counting
    Cycle counting is a method of physical inventory where inventory is counted at regular intervals within a fiscal year. These intervals (or cycles) depend on the cycle counting indicator set for the materials.
    The Cycle Counting Method of Physical Inventory allows fast-moving items to be counted more frequently than slow-moving items.
    Inventory Sampling
    In Structure link MM – Inventory Sampling, randomly selected stocks of the company are physically counted on the balance sheet key date. If the variances between the result of the count and the book inventory balance are small enough, it is presumed that the book inventory balances for the other stocks are correct.
    Updating the Logistics Information System (LIS)
    The physical inventory is connected to the Logistics Information System (LIS). When inventory differences are updated in the LIS, they are displayed both on a quantity and on a value basis. The physical inventory items are aggregated at inventory number level, plant level, storage location level, and material level. If you need more detailed information on the inventory differences in the LIS, you can access the list of inventory differences directly from the LIS and continue the analysis at item level.
    Restrictions
    The posting of physical inventory differences is subject to certain time constraints:
    ·        The posting period is automatically set during counting. Therefore, the inventory difference must be posted to the same period or - if postings to the previous period are allowed - in the following period.
    ·        The fiscal year is set by specifying a planned count date when creating a physical inventory document. All subsequent postings to this document must take place in this fiscal year and/or in the first period of the following fiscal year, if postings to the previous period are allowed.

  • Printing Physical Inventory

    Dear All
    I am trying to print Physical Inventory Document via MI21.The document is showing correctly all the fields except the counted quantity field.The printout is not populating the quantity even after I do MI i.e. Physical Inventory Count.
    Can anybody suggest any changes required in IMG for getting the field populated?
    Regards
    Vaibhav Mahajan

    It is by design that the book quantity is not show on a document, because it misleads the counters to "count" what is shown on the paper instead of the quantity in the warehouse, especially if the quantity does not match.
    Further people tend to start investigating root causes and doing phyiscal corrections while counting, instead on focussing on the ocunt itself.

  • T CODES for special requirements in Physical Inventory

    Hi experts:
      Does the SAP provide the T CODES for physical inventory which can meet the following requirements separately or collectivelly:
      1、it can display the current book quantity when we input the right physical quantity as what we do in Mi04。
      2、It can provide us a field to input the slip no. when we do the inventory adjustment as what we do in mI07. So that we can trace the whole adjustment process with the slip no.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    Try with t.codes mi20 and mi24.  might be useful.

    3. Cycle Counting
    o In this method of physical inventory, inventory is counted at regular intervals within a fiscal year.
    o These intervals (or cycles) depend on the cycle counting indicator set for the material in Material Master record as CC indicator in plant view data.
    o With this Cycle Counting Method of Physical Inventory allows fast-moving items to be counted more frequently than slow-moving items.
    4. Inventory Sampling
    o Randomly selected stocks of the company are physically counted on the balance sheet key date.
    o If found not much variance between the counted stock and the book book stock, it is presumed that the book inventory balances for the other stocks are correct.
