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.

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?

ABC Cycle Counting Process Steps

We currently want to switch our Cycle Counting by Bin location to ABC Cycle Counting. We want the system automatically generate a list of materials to count daily based on there ABC indicator.
Our Current Process Steps are as follows:
Step 1: LX 26 - Select Items for cycle count
Step 2: LI04 Print the Count sheets
Step 3: LI11N Enter the results
Step 4: LX17 View variance
Step 5: LI14 Create recounts
Step 6: LI04 Print the recount sheets
Step 7: LI11N Enter the results
Step 8: LX17 View variance
Step 9: LI20 Accept Counts & Clear Differences WM
Step 10: ZLI21 Accept Counts & Clear Differences IM
But when we switch to ABC Cycle counting we can't do the LX26 because that is when you select the bins you want to count. We need the process steps if we use the system to generate the kick off. Any ideas?

1. It is a CO problem - I think your error message is KI235. However you may face this problem if settings are ok but you do not do things properly in IM/WM bookings. Please check these links:
Re: OKB9
Account 5248654 requires an assignment to a CO object---Message no. KI235
Please describe step-by-step (with trx codes) what you did and in which step you get the error message.
2.
WM bookings will "never" consume you components (or maybe because a bug...). If you want to consume the components you have to post GI with reference to your PrdOrd (CO11N, CO15, CO27, MIGO, MB1A).
If you did a booking with mvt 261 in MB1A by mistake, do the reverse booking by mvt 262. That's all.
If you cannot solve your issue please clarify your problem, step-by-step...

Urgent help on cycle count

Hi,
How can i do Itemwise cycle count irrespective of the locations
Scenario:
Item ABC is lying in multiple warehouses. While physically doing the cycle count for Item, the exercise is carried for all warehouses where the item exists.
i.e Itemwise cycle count irrespective of the locations.
Thanx in advance.
Regards
Rasika

Hi Rasika
First define the Cycle count
Path:
Admin=>Setup=>Inventory=>Inventory Cycle
Fields(Name,frequency,alert,time)
Connect this cycle count to the Item Group
Path:
Admin=>Setup=>Inventory=>Item groups (Cycle count field)
Connect the corresponding itemgroup to the items
Now you can see in the Inventory tab of item master data the cycle count details
On the particular date and time it will give u an alert
Now you can go to the Inventory=>Inventory transactions=>Initial quantities
In the Inventory tracking tab:
Enter the counted in whse against the item
If there is any difference in the quantity stored with the quantity counted it will make that difference in the stock posting
Once you had updated the stock posting it will post the difference (i.e, it will update the stock as well as the valuation)
This u have to do individually for the different warehouses
HTH
Have a nice day

Cycle Counting is not fetching All Items in Different Classes

Hi All,
My client has performed cycle counting. Ideally system has to fetech all the items in different classes. But in cycle counting listing report only able to fetch few items.
Please let me know are we missing something ?
And please let me know the significance of "Assign Items". How to put the same.
Regards,
John
Edited by: 911765 on Mar 14, 2012 4:36 AM

1) CC won't fetch all items in all classes.
It will look at only those items that are present in the assign items screen.
It will only consider those items which have cycle count enabled flag set to Yes in item master
It will only consider those items that have a non-zero frequency for the ABC class of the item.
It will only print those items that have some onhand if you run the CC to ignore zero onhand items.
2) You can either manually add items to a CC in the assign items window.
OR
You can reinitialize or update the CC (by going to the 3rd tab on CC screen)
Make sure that you have run ABC compilation so each item has a ABC class. You should also specify the frequency for each ABC class.

Cycle Counting - Inactive Items

Hi,
The Inactive items are appearing in the cycle count. Is this the intended functionality of the Oracle?
Also please let me know how to make sure that Inactive items dont appear on the cycle counts.
Thanks in advance.
RA

Deleting data from open interface will not stop the cycle count requests showing the items..
The CC requests will stop getting created for the items only when you DELETE the item form the CC.
Follow the below navigation and delete the item's
INV Super User>>Counting>>Cycle Counting>>Cycle Counts>>Your CC NAme>>Open>>Items>>Query ur Inactive Item>>Delete
After you do this for all your inactive items there should not be any new requests to do CC for these items

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.
Jonathan

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

Cycle Count Reservation Issue in Item Supply/Demand Form

Hi
Few of the inventory items are stuck with Cycle Count Reservation in Item Supply/Demand Form. The Identifier field is empty. It is not tied to any sales order or PO . I checked the On hand quantity(on-hand quantity form) and the current on hand (Item Supply/Demand form) both are same. Could not able to figureout what went wrong and how the cycle count reservations are created. Even after performing the Cycle counting on these items, it did not consumed these reservations and releaved those reservations.
Could anyone suggest me please in what scenrios we get this issue and how to eliminate these records from the Item Supply/Demand Form. we are on 11.5.10.2 INV and WMS RUP4.
Thank You!
Krishna

CC reservations can be triggered by Curtail (Short) picks on mobile gun. When this happens the ATR qty gets decremented by this Qty by putting a CC reservation.
This can also be deleted from front end by changing the demand source to acc/acc alias, save and then delete.

Cycle counting - How many times an item has been counted?

Hallo Gurus,
do you know if there's a way to know how many times an item has been counted during the year?
Thank you very much indeed.

Cycle count(MICN) problem at year end

Hi folks,
For cycle counting, if the counting date exceeds the current year, it proposes the last date of current year as the first counting date.But i do not want sap, to propose the last date of current year for counting. it should give me the correct figure as per indicator ( A- 152 days, B- 360 days ).
if i do GR today & My indicator is A, then counting date should be after 152 days ( in 2010) . if it falls on next year, then it's ok.
but system is proposing last date( 31/12/2009) of current year if the date falls on next year(2010).
Plz suggect , how to solve this.
Thanks
pabi

Any item has to be counted once a year. the fiscal year is controlling the inventory period.
if you have a new material that you receive the first time at the end of the year, then you have to count it in this year the first time, and the next time after your defined number of days.
Thats system design, you cant change it.

Cycle Count Entries Form not showing specific employee name in "Counted By" LOV List

Cycle Count Entries Form not showing specific employee name in "Counted By" LOV List.But the Employee is active . Is there any setup for this activity?

Hi,
This is because the query is excluding the current site you are trying to modify since it is actually in the report.
You can include in your query:
or site_id = :Pxx_SITE_ID
Where Pxx_SITE_ID is the item holding the site_id value and xx is your page number.
Thank you,

Stored procedure in purchase order for duplicate item for a vendor

Hi all
I have written a stored procedure for duplicate item for vendor the output i need from this SP is whenever for a vendor we will raise purchase order the system should check that their shouldn't be any po in the system for the same item by the selected vendor. Its working fine when only one item is selected but it is behaving wrongly when more than one item is selected.
If (@object_type='22' and @transaction_type='A')
BEGIN
Declare @Vend as varchar(200)
Declare @ItemCode as varchar(200)
Select @Vend =CardCode From OPOR Where DocEntry = @list_of_cols_val_tab_del
Select @ItemCode=ItemCode From POR1 Where DocEntry=@list_of_cols_val_tab_del
IF 1 !=(Select Count(T0.DocEntry) From OPOR T0 Inner Join POR1 T1 On T0.DocEntry=T1.DocEntry Where T0.CardCode=@Vend and T1.ItemCode=@ItemCode)
Begin
select @error =1
select @error_message = 'Item Code Already Exists For This Vendor'
end
end
Thanks
Rashid.

Hi Rashid,
Try this,
if @object_type = N'22' and @transaction_type in (N'A', N'U')
begin
declare @line1 int
declare @lin1 int
declare @out1 int
Set @out1 = 0
SET @lin1 = 0
Declare @Vend as varchar(200)
Declare @ItemCode as varchar(200)
Select @Vend = CardCode From OPOR Where DocEntry = @list_of_cols_val_tab_del
Select @line1 = Max (LineNum)FROM POR1 WHERE POR1.DocEntry = @list_of_cols_val_tab_del
While @lin1 < @line1
Begin
     Select @ItemCode=ItemCode From POR1 Where DocEntry=@list_of_cols_val_tab_del and LineNum = @lin1
      if (SELECT COUNT(T0.DocEntry) FROM POR1 T0 inner join OPOR T1 on T0.DocEntry = T1.DocEntry
      WHERE T0.ItemCode = @ItemCode and T1.CardCode = @Vend)> 1
      Begin
           Set @Out1 = 1
           Break;
      END
           Else
           Begin
           Set @lin1 = @lin1+1
           Continue
      END
END
Set @lin1 = @lin1 + 1
if @out1 = 1
begin
      Set @error = 1
      Set @error_message = 'Item Code in line ' + CONVERT(nvarchar(4), @lin1) + N'already Exists For This Vendor!'
End

Best practice for retail store cycle count

Hi experts
Would you have any experience/best practice in designing for cycle count process for your clients?
By cycle count, I mean for frequent counting (daily) for specific item category / exceptional count request.
My client want to implement a cycle count process to minimize the effort for full stock take which happen around 3 times per year.
They are using SAP as the core system to keep track of inventory, and using external store system, so some considerations would be on, for example:
- whether the count variance or counted quantity shall be interfaced back to SAP
- whether SAP should be the source to initiate a stock count process or POS initiate
It would be very nice if you can share some best practice as in the process flow, system information flow, etc.
Best regards
Dominic

Hello
Both can be done but as you say SAP is the core system at least for tracking inventories, better create and integrate inventories is SAP aswell.
The main advice I would give is to avoid specific tables for inventory integration because standard tables and specific won't be updated well sometimes and support would be needed, stick on standard transactions.
If the inventory is centralised in SAP, you can for example count them with PDA, send to SAP connectors your counting which will be integrated from a xml file transformed in a Idoc for SAP.
One parameter is important to consider as the freeze for inventory. You have to decide if you take into account any stock movement that could occur after your inventory creation or not. If you do, the variance after the counting will depend on the initial stock value and also the movement.
If you don't, the variance will only take into account your initial stock value withotu considering the stock movement.
Hope it helps you,
Génia.

Duplicate item checking failed in Form level-urgent

Hi all
i have creation page with advanced table
i need to restrict the duplication at form level as well as save button
in some cases the validation is failed
if ("CodeValidation".equals(pageContext.getParameter(EVENT_PARAM)))
itemcode = vo.getCurrentRow().getAttribute("ItemCode").toString();//advanced table multiple records come
am.xxItemCodeValidation(itemcode);//checking the item validation at databse level
am.xxdupitemcode(itemcode);
method in am
public void xxdupitemcode(String itemcode)
System.out.println("The item code is.........."+itemcode);
int count = 0;
xxcrmNewItemVOImpl vo = getxxcrmNewItemVO1();
vo.executeQuery();
System.out.println("the row are" + vo.getAllRowsInRange().length);
Row r[] = vo.getAllRowsInRange();
int n = vo.getAllRowsInRange().length;
for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)
System.out.println("entered into this block......for loop" + count);
if (itemcode.equals(r.getAttribute("ItemCode")))
System.out.println("entered into this block......" + count);
count = count + 1;
System.out.println("the count is........."+count);
if (count > 1)
throw new OAException("Duplicate Item found plz change the item",
OAException.ERROR);
} else
System.out.println("Exception block....... ");
in save button i am calling
if ("Save".equals(pageContext.getParameter(EVENT_PARAM)))
am.xxdupitemcode(itemcode);
am.invokeMethod("xxsavetr");
in which case it is failing is
in first row user enter
ROW-ITEMCODE
1-A
2-A
3-B
4-B
in second row and 4 th row exception is raised but user didnt change the itemcode and proceed for next steps
IN SAVE BUTTON EXCEPTION IS RAISED
but user will go to 4 th row and B should be change as C and click on save
records are saving with duplication item of A
but i need to restrict in save button also
how its posible
Regards
Sreekanth

Sreekanth,
The correct way to check for duplicates is to check it both in the VO/EO cache as well as the database. It is possible the user entered duplicate value in the current session. In that case you should first check within the existing VO rows if the values are duplicated or not (in case all the database rows are already queried, you might not need to run an explicit query, otherwise another validation VO needs to be executed to check for duplicates).

Sumit
