Enter Inventory Count Help

When entering an inventory count in MI04, I have a few hundred items that need to be entered as zero under quantity.  This is because we're running the AFS version of SAP, and have multiple grid numbers for a single material, therefore resulting in many values to be entered for one material.  Is there any way that I can enter them ALL as zero without going in and entering a value for each one individually?

i have a big button in the middle above the inventory lines in MI04 called Set zero count.
You first enter all your real counts. and when you are done. the you click this button and all items without a count get the zero count flag.

  • Enter Inventory Count on transaccion LI11N

    When entering the count, transaction LI11N just display 1 item at a time, we want SAP to display a list of all items on the Inventory document like in Inventory Management.
    We have to enter one by one using the "Positioning" option entering bin  by bin or item by item.
    Is there a way to enter all at once on a list displayed by SAP ????
    Is there a SAP Note we need to apply to fix a program error ???
    Thank you for your help

    Hi,
    LIBS can be used for List layout but not for Entering Inventory Count.
    You would need to use LSMW tool or Custom Program (BDC/BAPI) if you have to enter large amount of records.
    Visit the following link:
    Re: sap general
    Where you would information about BDC and LSMW.
    For information regarding LSMW steps visit the following link:

    http://help.sap.com/bp_blv1500/BL_US/html/dataconv_lsmw.htm
    BDC/BAPI Steps:
    1. Fetch Data (Download/Read Dataset/Select from Tables)
    3. Massage data as per SAP format.
    3. Validation Check
    4. Pass valid data to BDC (Call Transaction/Session) or BAPI
    5. In case of session method - session log is generated. In case of Call transaction you can use an internal table with structure BDCMSGCOLL to get messages. In case of BAPI the messages will be returned in return table (strcutre BAPIRET2/BAPIRETTAB).

                           thanks

    see the SAP help :
    There are two methods of creating a physical inventory document, as follows:
    Creating Single Documents
    In this case, you explicitly specify the materials to be counted. This method is recommended if you want to take inventory of only a few materials.
    Creating Sessions
    In this case, you enter the criteria that should determine which materials are to be inventoried in which plants and storage locations. The system then creates a physical inventory document for each plant and storage location with the materials that fulfill the criteria. This method is recommended if you want to take inventory of a lot of materials
    Creating Single Documents
    1. Choose Phys. inventory doc. -> Create. The initial screen appears.
    2. Enter the data required. Choose Edit -> New items to display the item screen.
    3. Enter the materials that are to be inventoried.
    4. To post the document, choose Phys. inventory doc. -> Post. The system confirms the posting and displays the number of the physical inventory document.
    Creating Sessions
    1. Choose Sessions ->Create phys.inv.docs ->
    Without special stock for physical inventory of companyu2019s own stock
    -> Own special stock for physical inventory of own special stocks
    -> Externally owned special stock for physical inventory of external special stock
    The initial screen appears.
    2. Enter the data required.
    3. Choose Program->Execute from the menu. The system creates a session. A list appears with all of the items that are to be inventoried according to your selection. The system issues a message with the name of the session created.
    After creating the document for all the items, use MI04 for entring the count and MI07 to post the difference.

  • Why is inventory count Doc's status still active after posting difference

    Thanks,
    Linda

    Sounds like inventory management.. I found document is still active through MI02 after I am done with posting difference through MI20.
    Here is what I did,
    MI31 create inventory count sheet (100000207)for warehouse
    M104 Enter inventory count
    Mi11 recount for some items in 100000207
    Mi20 post difference
    Question: why 100000207 is still active since I alreay completed posting difference? Now the only option I have to deactive is to delete it, however when I am trying to do so, system give me a warning sign saying deletion will errase the evidence to posting difference. Is there any steps I missed so 10000207 is still active?
    thanks,
    Linda

  • Not able to enter the count for physical inventory document in WM

    Hi All,
    I have created a Physical Inventory document using LX16 t-code (WM managed). Since the material and bin stock is zero and When I try to enter the count by ticking zero stock indicator using LI11 t-code, I am not able to save the document and system throws error "Finding empty Quants provided for" and message number is L4058.
    Please let me know how to resolve this.
    Regards
    Krishnamurthy

    Yes your understanding is correct but only thing I have not entered qty in the count field rather I set only zero stock indicator.
    My requirement is " In Inventory (MMBE) stock of a material shows around "3000" qty. But In WM stock is "zero" and physically also "zero". so in IM also stock should be reduced to "Zero". So I tried of creating PI document in WM and then when I try to enter the count, I faced the menioned problem.

  • Inventory Count (1 material under 1 loc have multiple tags)

    Hi,
    SAP standard inventory count is 1 material 1 location can only have 1 physical document. But our scenario is based on the tag number (which means there will be different tag number for the same code), and our tag number does not have any linkage to the SAP standard inventory count program. This is because even in the same location, our material will be at different places, and we might use more than 1 tag for the same material.
    For example our scenario (1 loc 1 material multiple tags):
    Tag No      Material Code
    CA00001     CPS756
    CA00002     CPS756
    CA00003     CPS518
    CA00004     CPS518
    CA00005   CPS518
    CA00006   CPS632
    Whereas the SAP standrd program is (1 loc 1 material 1 line item):
    100000182     1     CPS756
    100000182     2     CPS518     
    100000182     3     CPR632
    This will help a lot to ease the entering as the user just need to enter the count according to the tag number, and also reduce any typo error. And if we enter according to SAP method, we will have to sum up the total of all the same code, then only enter the count qty.
    Kindly please advise.

    Hello Sim,
    There are several possibilities you can think about,
    1. If you are considering your tags as a batch number then you can put the material number and batch number while creating Physical Inventory.
    2. If materials are in different places then you can consider these different places as a different storage location.
    3. You can manage your stock with Warehouse mangement functionality (This will be the best option, but will be required to activate warehouse management and lots of data conversion activities).
    Hope this helps.

  • Problem in Inventory Count

    Hi Everyone,
    I tried to put a quantity in stock in a storage bin that i created  
    For that , I used transaction LI01
    I have given the Storage Bin and then activated.
    After that while entering the inventory count in LI11, i got the error as ''Default values for this storage type are not maintained''
    Kindly help me out is there any configuration settings have to be done for Inventory Count.

    You need to maintain the default values of physical inventory for each storage type in customizing

  • Inventory Count upon removal of stock

    Guru's,
    I have a quick question for you experts;
    Inventory counts u2013 I know there are various techniques that we could use within my company but one requirement that was asked about was for that for every pick/removal from a Fixed Bin Storage Type that you had to enter/confirm the remaining quantity left in the bin. The process seemed very extreme in terms of admin for the pickers but it ensured that the picking was 99.98% accurate.
    Any ideau2019s Guru's? We are on 4.7 and running SAP Web console for the warehouse(s) in for putway/picking and Inventory. I realise that there are methods such as 'count when zero & count upon first placement' but this is something different..
    Thanks in anticipation for any help you can give.
    Regards
    Dan

    You can use 2-step confirmation but it is related to the quantity you remove. So, warehouse workers have to confirm the quantity when they remove it from the source bin and they have to confirm it when they place it into the destination bin.
    SPRO > LE > WM > Activities > Confirmations.
    If you want to trigger automatic check of the remaining quantity, it is very propably you have to go to development (I'm not aware of any setting through which you could realize this)
    However, if stock removal & putaway quantities are always accurate (WH workers check only these and not the whole content of the bin), stock in the bins should be accurate also automatically.

    Hi,
    1.While taking up physical inventory you have the option of doing it for different stock types being maintained .Like Quality stock,unrestricted stock ,blocked stock.If you are doing this activity in sessions in MI31 ,you need to check against the stock types which are to be counted.This will include the stock of the items as selected and leave aside the stock types not selected.In MI01 also you can select these stock types which are donated by 1,2,3 & 4 stock type.After creating the document the stock counted is to be entered in MI04 .Than get the difference list in MI20.The difference will be posted in MI07 which will complete the activity and stock will be adjusted after posting tyhe difference.
    3.With respect to document ref: TCode for Inventory count: MI04

    Hi,
    Transferring Physical Inventory Count with Reference to the Document
    In this case, you use program RM07II34 (Batch Input: Enter Count with Reference to Document).
    Transferring Physical Inventory Differences with Reference to the Document
    In this case, you use program RM07II38 (Batch Input: Enter Count with Reference to Document, Post Differences).
    Transferring Physical Inventory Count Without Reference to the Document
    In this case, you use program RM07II39 (Batch Input: Enter Count Without Reference to Document).
    Transferring Physical Inventory Differences Without Reference to the Document
    In this case, you use program RM07II40 (Batch Input: Enter Count Without Reference to Document, Post Differences).

  • How we do mass entery of  inventory count insteead of MI04

    Hi experts,
    We have to use MI04 for inventory count,however we have a lot of materials.İs there any way of  mass enrty method OF  of inventroy count instead of using MI04

    I understand that LSMW can help here very quickly.
    My concern was more about how did you get that all to Excel.
    When you create counting documents with MI31 or MI01, then there is no Excel output.
    So you must have done something special to get it to Excel, I am just curious.
    The counting team can write the count result on SAP generate paper or on a Excel printout, no difference for the counters.
    but then the handwritten count has to  be entered into electronical form. And where is here  the time benefit? to  enter a count into Excel rather than enter it directly to SAP.
    you have even a step more with Excel, because you have to enter it to Excel first, and then you have the LSMW execution in addition to that.
    so the big questions are: how does the data get into Excel? Was it really counted physically or just a download of book inventory that was  uoloaded as physical inventory then?

  • Inventory count w/o reference doc "MI09" with IDoc WVINVE02

    Dear forum,
    I am trying to create an inventory count without reference to a document and I thought I would use IDOc WVINVE02 with message code WVINVE. We don't have an SAP inventory document, but would like to use just an external reference.
    When running transaction MI09 in the GUI it's quite easy to create an inventory count using:
    Plant
    Storage location
    Special stock
    Count date
    Material
    Quantity
    Unit of measure
    That's all we want to have.
    I have tried to post an IDoc WVINVE02 inbound using FM IDOC_INPUT_STORE_INVENTORY with the corresponding data, but without success. The IDOc interface only states "IDoc not fully processed".
    I need some help with how to input data and also need to understand if it is possible to use this IDoc for inventory count WITHOUT a reference document. The documentation available is not clear enough on this. Has anyone experienced a similar challenge?
    Thanks!
