EWM: Annual Physical Inventory Issue
Hello together!
I'm looking for cute (use SAP default) solution for the following problem:
For a EWM warehouse in Turkey it's possible to do Ad-hoc physical inventory for products during the year. Nevertheless it's necessary to do a complete annual physical inventory due to legal regulations. But the SAP default provides message "Storage bin XY was already inventoried in the physical inventory year" when trying to start the annual physical inventory.
Is it possible to avoid this message and proceed the annual physical inventory? Is it possible to delete the Ad-hoc physical inventory results to be able to start the annual physical inventory? I found transaction "/SCWM/PI_COMPL_DEL" to delete completeness data sets?!?
Thank you very much for your help!
best regards
Alexander
Hi Alexander!
When you create PI document in /SCWM/PI_DOC_CREATE set the checkbox "Include Inventoried Objects"

Hi,
We have defined split Valuation category in Material Master, with two Valuation type.
Now when I'm creating a physical inventroy document, its giving me an error - Batch for plant, st loc, material does not exist.
Please let me know, what extactly I need to do.
Regards,
Adityadear,
kindly go into transacation "mmsc"
here first you define for your plant which stoarge location you are performing the activity.
check there whether any "1" indicator is not assigneed ...because this will not allow you to perform physical inventory or this stock wont be considered....remove this "1" indicator
then go into transaction "msc1n" and put your material no and plant and storage location...
this will get solved...we have done this many times...

Error message in EWM- Doing Physical inventory
I get the error message "Could not determine ERP stockdata for :1001 EWM1001 F2" message nr /scwm/ERPINTEGRATION105.
I can tell that 1001 is our warehouse, EWM1001 is our party entiteld to dispose and F2 is stock type. I guess that its either the EWM1001 party entitled to dispose or the stock type that is the problem. Thats because we at the moment dont understand their functions and where it is set up in customizing or the connection to R3 system. Does anyone have an idea for what to do?
regards
IvarWe ended up abandoning EWM, since it seemd not to be a complete stable solution at the moment.

Physical Inventory Movement Block not Rest at Storage Location Level
Hi,
We are facing a typical problem in our Production System and the issue is as follows:
1. We have created a Physical Inventory Document for a material with Freeze Book Inventory and Posting Block indicators.
2. We completed the count and entered the same with reference to the PI Document.
3. We reconciled and posted the differences in the system.
4. We still find that in Material Master the Physical Inventory block for material movements was not reset automatically at the Storage Location stock view.
Please help us urgently as all our Goods movements for this material are held up.
ThanksHi,
I am able to see 4 PIDs in MI22 for my material.
2 docs pertaining to the latest Annual Physical Inventory in 2010.
These documents are for the same material in the same plant but for different Storage Locations. Out of which when i see the Material Master - Storage Location view, i see that the Physical Inventory Block "X" is set for one of the Storage Locations.
The PID for the Storage Location with this Physical Inventory Block for Movements indicator, is already settled (Count done and no differences in physical and book stock in this storage location).
The problem persists and i need to remove the posting block which was not reset. -
WIP Inventory at time of physical inventory
Discrete Manufacturer in 11.5.9. Looking for alternatives for handling WIP at the time of annual physical inventory. Have approximately 1800 released jobs of which more than 75% are pure "push" type jobs and the standard wip valuation report will fit the requirements. However for the remainder of the jobs there is a mix between operation pull and assembly pull which are in various stages of completion. On top of that we have many phantom assemblies that could be in-process on these jobs. How do you account for items that are out of the storage containers, built up on the line but not yet on the job? Thanks in advance.
We had the same issue a few years ago. We created a separate process to handle work in process inventory, exactly as you described. We created a report to print tags, then we created a separate form to allow entry of the tags. We then can compare counts to what is in work in process. We manually adjust the work orders as needed. Not a perfect process, but it works. I don't believe there is anything in Oracle to handle inventory that is still in WIP.
Hope this helps.

We are a discrete manufacturer in a fabricate to stock...assemble to order environment. In the process of implementing 11i...coming from a legacy system. How does Oracle handle WIP jobs at the annual physical inventory? Last year we had around 2,600 jobs that had either labor/material or both applied at the time we took our "snapshot" of inventory. We typically backflush our end item assemblies and push our fabricated/machined piece parts.
Unfortunately Oracle has NO WIP inventory module unless you
place the jobs into a Dummy Subinventory of WIP.
We have used the following work around to take inventory of our
WIP jobs.
Create a Physical Inventory for the WIP jobs. Specific
Subinventory - any you choose. Take a snapshot.
Generate TAGS (ALL BLANK). This will give you something to write
your info on.
We then export the Oracle Standard report WIP Location report.
This shows the WIP job, Operation and Quantity.
This is then imported into an Access Database table as the
baseline. A screen form has been created looking like the
Inventory Ticket .
We then enter the info from the ticket to the Access Database
form and subsequently run comparison reports of Baseline VS
Ticket file.
Any discrepancies can be adjusted through normal WIP
transactions, such as WIP Move, WIP material ISSUE etc.
Hope this helps.

Folks,
Can someone please give me the detailed configuration steps required for physical inventory.I have a lot of config issues around tolerance groups and activating the difference analyzer.
Thanks
KiranSPRO-Warehouse Management- Activities- physical inventory u2013 define default values.
1. WH No / Storage types/ activate check box for print material / nos of bins/ no material / entry (A)-double line entry ( keep it blank- not required u2013 if you want to enter count twice on same page then it required)- Difference ( Enter the difference value u2013 this entry due to which if your actual entered value is more then book inventory then system issues warning message) u2013 Next page ( not required to activate)
2. Define types per storage type- WH/ Storage type/Inventory type (PZ- continuous inventory or ST u2013 Annual inventory)
There is different option in this customization setting u2013 do it as per your business requirement u2013 like cycle counting u2013 if you are going with cycle counting then set ABC analysis in material master u2013 then only it has a more meaning to do physical inventory with cycle counting / zero stock check etc.
3. Define difference and document limit.
WH No/ post invent -712 ( mvt type) / clear invent -711 ( mvt type) u2013 Document item ( nos of line items per inventory document)
4. Clear difference ( interface to inventory Management)
MM-IM Movement Types for Clearing Inventory
*** 712 711
*** Q 714 713
*** R 716 715
*** S 718 717
5. Do Not Allow Clearing in Storage Types- activate check box for all interim storage type ( except 999)
6. Maintained number ranges.
I think this is a complete u2013 please let me know if required any further info.
Thanks

Material blocked due to a physical inventory - VL02N - Post Goods Issue
Hi,
We are working with SAP R/3 4.6C IDES.
During a business process we need to run VL02N and to click the Post Goods Issue button.
When we do that, we are getting the following error:
"Material P-103 1000 0001 blocked due to a physical inventory"
Anyone knows that I need to do in order to make it work?!
Also, anyone knows how can I add more quantity to a given part?
Thank you!
YanivHi Yaniv!
Any stock changes are forbidden during physical inventory (otherwise you wouldn't know, if your counting has amount of before or after the change).
Close the counting (-> ask who has done this), then goods issue is possible.
Quantity change: go to picking tab and enter 'real' -> changed quantity.

Issue in MI31 Transaction - Physical Inventory Document
Hi All,
We are creating Physical Inventory documents using MI31 transaction for all storage locations by passing Material and plant.
We are getting error message as " A system error has occured while locking". We are getting this message only for a particular storage location (Floor Stock) of the plant.
We dont know if this is a Database locking issue.
Any pointers to the problem will be definitely appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Team,
While posting a physical inventory document system is giving error message saying that
HU exists at another point in the warehouse. Clear the HU first
Message no. /SCWM/GM751
here is my scenario: As per the system bin is empty, while doing physical inventory we found and counted one HU in the same bin. while posting the same physical inventory document we are getting the above error message. as per the system this HU available in some other bin.
could you please let us know is there any process which i am missing before posting the PI document.
while posting the PI document is it not possible automatically HU get move from one bin to other bin?
Thanks
MastanHi kmastanrao
All above suggestion given need to check.
1. Check HU available in WH. In EWM monitor and HU details.
And after finding the status of HU and use as you need in your process.
second if needed I can provide HU table in EWM which can be used.

Material blocked due to a physical inventory
Hello,
I have an issue.
I have done a stock take via MI01, MI21, MI04 and finally MI20!
When I afterwards create a delivery with one of that part that was counted it gives me an error message saying:
M7100 - Material xxx blocked due to a physical inventory
When I look into the inventory document it says: Counted, adjusted.
While debugging I found out that the process somewhere checks MARD-SPERR which is X for that part and therefore outputs messsage M7100! But X only indicates that posting block was set while physical inventory was done!
Does someone have an idea? Is there maybe a report to verify and correct inventory status?
Hope someone can help, cause I've counted a hundreds of parts which are now blocked.
Thanks for your reply.
WolfgangHello Wolfgang,
If you enter the differences for your physical inventory documents against those materials, then the posting block check shall automatically go off and you can do the material movements.
First, you need to check whether you posted the differences for the respective physical inventory document.
If not you need to post the difference first as it may lead to data inconsistencies.
To remove the posting block go to MI02, enter the physical inventory document number and year, now go to Header and untick the posting block check box.
Posting block indicator
The indicator remains in the physical document header even if the stock is unblocked through the posting of inventory differences. It then only indicates that a posting block was set for the documents.
The blocking indicator can be set in one of two ways:
Directly upon entry of the physical inventory document (if the count is to take place immediately)
Shortly before the count (if the count is to take place later)
You can set the indicator by choosing Physical inventory document -> Change in the header data of the physical inventory document or via batch input.
Now you can create delivery for the materials.
