Difference between stock as per FI & MM

Hi,
I am reconciling stock record as per FI ( Balance Sheet) & MM.
few difference are coming in some business area.
Can anyone clarify me the possible causes of this difference.
regards
Saurabh Bagri

Hi, from my experience there are certain things we have to aware:
For all valuation areas in which currency is being converted to the leading currency, the stock values of the materials must also be converted.
Remember that small differences may occur because amounts are rounded to the the nearest cent.If this cause inconsistencies (for example, the stock value is not equal to the quantity x the price), a reconciliation is required after currency conversion.
If necessary, differences that occur are taken into account during the conversion procedure and corrected automatically.
And also, the LIFO/FIFO receipt data is <b>not</b> reconciled with the material documents and accounting documents that have been converted. If required, you can recompile the LIFO/FIFO receipt data using a document extract after the conversion. To do so, you must not have archived any material documents or settlements for production orders.
hope it helps and don't forget to assign points
regards,
Lily

Difference between stock and non stock material

what is the difference between stock and non stock material. example of stock and non stock material?

Hello,
Stock Material
Material that is constantly kept in stock .A stock material has a material master record and is managed on a value basis in a material stock account.
Ex: Raw Material.
Non-stock Material
Material that is not held in stock because it is consumed immediately.
Ex: Office Stationary.
You need to create purchase order and accounting document for payment but the stock balance is always zero as it is issued out immediately to the various department.

Difference between Stock transfer and transfer posting

I am little confused about the difference between stock transfer and transfer posting. Please clarify
<<Locked - reason: failed to search before posting question>>
Edited by: Csaba Szommer on Feb 9, 2011 9:10 AM

Hello,
Transfer posting may involve or not involve the physical goods transfer. In the system you might do transfer posting from quality to unrestricted, or from one store location to another.
In transfer posting you remove and or replace materials from storage in one storage location and place them in another storage location.
That transction code you use for transfer posting MB1B with following movement types may be used
301, 303,305,311,411,309.
301 is Stock Transfer Between Plants in One Step
303 & 305 : Stock Transfer Between Plants in Two Steps
In stock transfer, it always involves physical movement of goods, like transfer between plants under same company code or different company codes.
Following types are possible with STO's
Stock Transport Order Without Delivery
Stock Transport Order with Delivery via Shipping
Stock Transport Order with Delivery and Billing Document/Invoice

Difference between Stock Transfer Horizon and Planning Time Fence

Hi Experts,
Could you plz help to explain the difference between stock transfer horizon and planinng time fence?
Appreciated your professional input to address my confusion.

Hi Gavin,
The stock transfer horizon is used in SNP planning, it is the time period within which SNP does not create any stock transfer requisitions.
The planning time fence is used by PPDS planning. It is the time period within which the PPDS planning does not create any orders. The orders lying within this period are considered to be firmed by the PPDS planning.
Functionally, the stock transfer horizon/ production horizon in SNP are analogous to the planning time fence in PPDS, which provide the system ability to keep the plan firm/unchanged within this period.
Hope this helps!

Difference Between FI and Profit Centre Value In Stock GL

Hi
After running the report 1KEH (Tranfer Matrial Stocks) the difference of 1000 is coming out between profit centre and FI in one of the semi finished stock Gls. The MM report MB5L is also showing that difference between stock and FI value. (Materail value is less than FI value). Can anybody please guide me how to dig out this problem where the difference is arising.
Kind Regards

Hi,
in most cases its a manual FI-posting that causes the difference, compare MB5L logistics details (per material) with FI-postings (per material, maybe its needed to create a query/quick view to get this info). Do you have the difference again for another MB5L line? This can happen if the Balnce sheet account in FI-account determination is changed.
Best regards, Christian

Stock material difference between MM and WM

Good morning, i have a question about the difference between Stock material from MM and WM.
My customer, told me about difference in material stock in tables MARD and LQUA.
He told me that stock material in LQUA is greater than in MARD, because some users didn't work correctly.
Since correct stock is in MARD table ( and not in LQUA), my question is: is there any standard solution (transaction ,program, or others ecc.) to make equal the quantity values in both tables?
Thank you in advance for your cooperation and attention,
Francesco

Francesco,
Have you checked the warehouse activity monitor (transaction LL01) to see if there are any incomplete documents there?
In general, an Invneotry Movement (receipts, issues, transfers, etc) will trigger a WM movement via transfer postings and transfer orders.
The best way to habdle this may be on a case-by-case basis, and use the appropriate transactions to correct your issue.
<B>Example scenario:</B>
User does a goods issue (reduces MM quantity). The transfer order may not have been created or may not have been confirmed. In either case, WM quantity is not reduced, causeing WM to be higher than MM.
If the TO was not created, there iwll be an open transfer requirement - try processing it in the foreground.
If the TO was created but not confirmed, try confirming it.

Difference between report mc49 and MC48

HI,
i would like to display stock value (in order to date and purchase group) in report MC48 and MC49. The value is different becouse report MC48 shows average stock value and mc49 just stock value. What arleady means "average stock value"? What is the difference between stock value and average stock value?
Thanks in advance
Kasia Gac

Hi Kazia,
MC48 shows the stock value at the end of the period you enter on the selection screen. The default here is the last 3 months.
MC49 shows you the average stock value for that period.

Difference between STO and ITC PO

Hi,
I would like to know the difference between Stock transport orders and intercompany purchase orders (in terms of the difference between the material documents as well as the vendor setup).

Hi Chintan
STO are Stock transport orders which are mainly created for the business process where you need the stock to move from one plant to another plant - this will enable the physical movement of stock from one warehouse to another. As far as movements are concerned this can be accomplished by either doing a GI to move the stock in transit at supplying plant and then Receive the stock at destination this is 2 step process
or we can use the SD delivery to do the goods issue to make the stock in transit and then received at the receiving warehouse.
Intercompany PO's can also be STOs or they could be a straight forward Procurement and movements will be that of a Purchase orders
Please let me know if you have any more questions
Thanks
Deepak

hi friends,
can anyone explain me the major differences between
Stock Transfer Order and Stock Transport order,
with some examples.
regards
ganesh

hi,
When you do stock trasnfer with the Stock trasport order...then it has the following adavantages:
Advantages of the Stock Transport Order
The transfer of stock using a stock transport order has the following advantages over the transfer of stock without a stock transport order:
●     A goods receipt can be planned in the receiving plant.
●     You can enter a vendor (freight vendor) in the stock transport order.
●     Delivery costs can be entered in the stock transport order.
●     The stock transfer order is part of MRP: Purchase requisitions that were created in MRP can be converted into stock transport orders.
●     The system can run an availability check for the stock transfer.
Hope it helps..

Differences between reports LL01 and LS24 for negative stock

Dear friends,
Could you tell me the difference between the reports " Warehouse Activity Monitor" (LL01) and "Stock Per Material" (LS24)..
When the negative stock option is chosen ,LL01 is not displaying certain materials with the negative stock.However these materials with the negative stock are displayed in the report LS24.
What could be the reasons?
Thanks.
Regards,
Krishnan.

Hi
There are a couple of things to tell you here.
Firstly LS24 - This shows one material only and you will see where this material is all over the warehouse.
Secondly there is an alternative if you want to see all materials and that is LX02 and in the st type field put *** and you will see everything in the warehouse and if you sort on the available qty field (descending I think but try both) all of your negatives will come to the top of the screen with the largest negative first.
Thirdly LL01 This will only show negative stocks for the storage types that have been included in the configuration for this. Also the negatives in LL01 will only appear after the amount of time you have set in the congiguration whereas in LS 24 you will see them immediately.
So for instabce if you set st type XXX to show negatives after 24 Hours you will not see them in LL01 for 24 Hours but they will be in LS24 AND LX02 immediately.
This does not mean that LL01 is wrong just that youi need to make some adjustments in the config and be clear as to what you want to see and when.
I hope that this helps

Difference between Valuated and Non valuated Sale order stock

Hi All,
Can anybody tell me the difference between the above said subject with the steps involved in each scenario.
That is valuated sale order stock and Non valuated sale order stock in Product cost by Sale Order.
With Journal entries at each step and whether any WIP or variances at Production order level and sale order level and all the financial entries related to them
Thanks in Advance,
Ravi Kumar

Hi Shail,
Thans for your inputs,
But I wanted to know it in more detail. In what scenarios they are used with financial entries in both the cases.
I will give you my scenario. It goes like this,
My client is in pipe coating business, who receives pipes from customers and does only coating work(which is considered as service) and despatches it to the customer. this process is carried on the basis of work order(Sale order).
Now Production order is created and work is done on that with reference to Sale order for that particular customer.
So the pipe which my client receives should be non valuated stock as it will not be a raw material to them and the cost incurred on it is booked on production order like chemicals as raw material consumption, activity cost etc.
now in this scenario just tell me how and at which stage FI entries get generated at Production order and Sale order level, and also at wat level Standard cost estimate should be created i,e at production order level or sale order level(sale order cost estimate).
Will there be any entries at goods isssue and GR against production order. If no then how the COGM account will get hit.
Please tell me this scenario in both cases Valuated sale order stock and Non valuated sale order stock with financial entries in Sale order costing.
Thanks & Regards,
Ravi Kumar

T-Code for reporting stock quantity difference between IM and WM

Hi All
I'm probably going to kick myself for asking this quastion but is there a report to show the stock quantity differences between IM and WM?
I have searched the forum first but cannot find info.
We have various differences in IM and WM shown in MD04 and LS26. This is usually the result of an unplanned plant to plant transfer not being recipted in at the destination plant.
If no standard T-code is available, which tables can I join to create my own query?
Thanks in advance
Darren

compare MMBE with LS26
Make sure you dont enter a storage location and storage type in selection screen of LS26.
if you post a difference with LI20, then you have just posted a difference within WM, means you moved a quantity from a bin into the difference storate type 998. The balance of both is still equal to your stock shown in MMBE. You have to clear the difference with IM by executing LI21 transaction. Only then the quantity will disappear from difference storage type and will be adjusted in MM and FI.
LX23 will only report real inconstencies and will adjust them.
If you do a MM movement like 303, then this creates a transfer request in WM, this TR needs to be converted into a TO. to move the stock from the bin to the interim storage type for goods issue.
In your case you created just a negative quant in the interim storage type for goods issue and still have a positive quant in the bin, the balance is equal to the stock shown in MMBE.
