Excess stock in SAP.

Hi ,
For operational purpose ,we are maintaining excess stock process, below is the formula for the same,
Opening stock- (Backlog order +current month order (n)+N+1 order .
Can we get this type of report from SAP ?
Regards,
Vijesh

Vijesh,
As the other experts have stated, I don't believe that there is any standard report that exactly meets your requirements.
However, many planners instead use MRP results to help them understand where (among other things) they will have future excess stock.
SAP's standard report MD06 can be used to select, view, and address specific MRP Exception Messages. One Exception message is "20 - Cancel process" (means cancel an existing supply order) and "15 - Postpone Process" (means move one of your existing supply orders farther into the future). These two messages typically are related to excess stock. If you review and address these exception messages, you may not need an 'excess stock report'.

Unable to clear out the stock in SAP

Hi Expert!
Need your help. I have an issue, my user wants to clear out the stock in SAP because they are the old stock and there's no stock in actual warehouse for those materials actually. it is just in the system taht showing those materials have stock in warehouse. but however, she's unable to clear out the stock. So when i check in the system, the materials are batch managed and still have open POs dated on 2003 which has already old. Is it the reason why she can't clear the stock? Do i need to ask her to off the batch management for those materials,then delete the POs and then only she able to clear the stock? Please advise on the solution..
Thanks.

hi
do the physical inventory and adhust stock
1) Create physical inventory doc using MI01
2) Post the Physical Inventory stock Using MI04 ( Mark Tick if the stock is Zero)
3) Post the doc in Using MI07
Note : Give the batch no if the material is activated the batch

How to know the excess stock with in a sales order and line item

Hi,
i am running an MRP against a sales order and sales order line item. the materials are getting planned based on the requirement. but due to some reasons the production orders are confirmed with out consumption of the actual required quantity of the components. so the stock is kept ideal in the sales order though it is not required further.
do to some othere reasons also the excess stock of componenets exist. the PR or POs may also exist for the materials though they are not required further.
i am in need of a report for the excess stock or excess PR or Purchase order for a sales order.
please give me logic to find the excess things in that sales order and sales order line item. the Expensional message 26 is there in stock requirement list . but it does not give the excess quantity existing.
regards
madan

hi rajesh,
thanks for your reply. please tell me the logic to see when only partial quantity of sale sorder are delivered and also when no delivery is made also.
but manufactured and placed in stock.
please tell me the tables to follow and logic of going ahead with them.

RS&R Process - To take the Stock in SAP

Hi SAP Gurus,
How to handle the Repair Service & Recondition (RS&R) material in SAP. For Example we are procuring PAC Compressor / SMPS Module / Controller (Which can be repaired and use again). First time we are showing the consumption with original value.
After repair & recondition How to take the stock in SAP & How to show the consumption with Rs.1 or 0 Value. So that we can track those items in SAP wothout affecting the moving average price.

Hi,
Generally, Repair of Materials are handled via concept of Gate Pass (Returnable & Non-Returnable). But, SAP doesn't provide any option for creating Gate Pass (Returnable & Non-Returnable) in standard.
Try the below suggested procedure as a work around process;
Repair Process (Reconditioning) via Returnable Gate Pass: -
1. MM01 - Create Material Master for every Spare Part / Machinery to be sent to Vendor for Repair (Reconditioning) as Non-Valuated (Material Type "UNBW") (Do not extend Accounting and Costing views since you don't require postings of Stock value and consumption values, you only want to track the Service/Repair Charges)
It's not necessary to have materials as Non-Valuated always, it depends on your requirement.
2. MIGO - Goods Receipt > Others (Receive the quantities of these materials using Movement Type 501 / 511) - Only if Stock of Material is not available.
3. ME21N - Create Subcontracting PO (Here Main Material and Component will be same material)
4. MB1B - Transfer Posting w.r.t. Subcon PO (Mvmt Type - 541, Spare Part stock will get posted to Vendor Stock)
5. MB90 - Take Print out of this Material Doc as Returnable Gate Pass (U need to configure Message Determination of Inventory Mgmt)
6. MIGO - GR against Subcon PO (101 - Receive Spare Part, 543 O - Consumption of Spare Part form Vendor Stock)
7. MIRO - LIV for Service Charges w.r.t. Subcon PO
8. MIGO - Goods Issue > Others (Do GI of Subcontracted Material using Movement Type 502 or 512)

Implications that we could have if we allow Negative Stock in SAP

Hi Gurus.
Can I have in details the Implications that we could have if we allow Negative Stock in SAP please ?
Thanks
Nainar

Hi Nainar,
Implications in the sense, if you try to issue more stock than the existing. System pop up an error message that insufficient stock.
If you activate the Negitive stock then the system allows you to issue the stock.
Ex : Suppose ur company has power cut and u use generator at the time of power cuts.Now that u use diesel for generator, if suppose u have stock physically avaliable in ur plant and u didnt enter the GR(not avaliable in system). At this point u have to issue the diesel to run generator, hence system will show you negitive stock(-ve quantity) the amount u have issued. Later when u enter GR, it will tally issed quantity.
To activate Negitive stock at plant level, follow the path
SPRO>MM>Inventory Management and Physical Inventory>GI/Transfer Postings->Allow negative stock.

Display Warehouse Stock in SAP EWM

Dear Experts,
Kindly let me know what is the transaction code to display Warehouse Stock in SAP EWM.
Thanks,
Shetty

Hi,
Indeed, the Warehouse monitor pretty much gives you all the information that you need. Do not forget that from time to time you need to update the stock data from the EWM to the ERP using the transaction /n/SCWM/ERP_STOCKCHECK - Stock Comparison ERP in order for the monitor from the EWM to be conclusive with the valuated data form ERP.
All the best,

Upload QI stock in SAP system

We are in cut over face of implementation project.
We have already QI stock for multiple materials outside SAP system, now we want to upload this stock in SAP system.
What is the best approach in this situation?

SAP has a standard process for this.
In the QM plant settings on the tab insp. lot creation, you shoudl find a field call "InstypeForInspStock".
Per the SAP standard, you enter 0800. (you can try another inspection type, but this one works!)
Make sure in config you have defined a task list usage for inspection type 0800.
Make sure you have not turned on QM for any of the materials you are planning on loading inventory for. If you already did, you'll have to use QA08 to deactivate all inspection types before doing the inventory load.
Load all your inventory, including the QI stock into QI stock via IM.
Use QA08 to turn on all your inspection types. On the QA08 screen you'll find an indictor "Activate despite insp. stock". Make sure this is clicked on when running QA08.
One you have run QA08 for all the materials, all those with stock in QI should now have inspection lots associated with them.
They will be an 08 origin and 0800 inspection typ.
Be careful. Once the inspection types are created, you won't be able to load additional qtys to QI via IM. You only get one shot.

MRP Exception Message 26: Excess stock in individual segment

We would like to modify the logic relating to MRP Exception Message 26: Excess stock in individual segment to allow for a material-specific tolerance threshold, within which no exception would be generated. An alternate approach might be to deactivate message 26 and create a new custom exception that accomplishes the same thing.
The reason is that we fabricate and procure a large number of materials in a Make-To-Order environment, with some planned scrap at multiple levels of sub-assembly. The result is that we often have small residual quantities of components & sub-assemblies in sales order stock when the project is complete. Some of these may be useful on future projects so we want them to remain in stock, but we donu2019t want them to continually generate exception messages that distract our planners from the exceptions that truly need attention.
I have tried setting up a storage location that is excluded from MRP, and this works only if the material is in General Stock, but not if it is in Sales Order Stock.
If anyone knows of a way to either set up an allowed tolerance, or exclude a sales order segment from MRP, please let me know.

DB49,
I have previously suggested just what you have indicated (ie. to move the parts back to unrestricted geneeral use stock). My company's objection is that the materials were either produced or procured for that original sales order and that the costs for these materials are in that sales order as well. Using a 411E transfer posting will not only move the stock, but also the cost (as if we are buying it back from the sales order). Since there is no guarantee that we will be able to sell it again, our accounting department will not allow us to do this.
So the bottom line is:
We do want to retain visibility to these stocks.
We don't want the cost for these stocks back on our books
If the opportunity presents itself, we want to move them to any future sales order for the same material.
We don't want the hundreds of exception messages for "excess stock in individual segment"
However we do want to see this message for actively planning sales orders that may have too much stock
There may be no way to get this, but that is the goal.

Excess Stock Soloution Required

Good day.
I currently have the issue of excess stock in inventory where we have materials over the maximum stock level. This is due to the cancellation on jobs or inheriting free stock.
Ideally i would like to set all the levels to PD until the maximum level is reached again. The fear is that i cannot track every one. When the max level is reached again, the v1 setting should be re entered into MM02.
have you guys ever cam across a similar situation with excess stock. your solutions would be extremely helpful.
Paul

Speedy,
MRP doesn't use up excess stock. Only execution will use up stock.
If your stock is Finished goods, the standard way to reduce excess stock is through a promotion (influence the customers to buy more).
For subassemblies or Raw materials (assuming that they can't be resold) the classic method is to look for alternate uses. If the material is similar to some other materials, you can sometimes create/change Bills of materials so as to include your excess materials in BOMs that are actively being built.
Good Luck & Best Regards,

Block faulty stock in SAP

Hi All,
How to block faulty stock in SAP? We don't use MRP.
Pls advise.
Regards.

hi,
Did you make the GR for it??
Movement types are :
     101- general GR for PO
     QI to Blocked: 350
     Blk to QI: 349
     QI to Un: 321
     Un to QI: 322
So, If GR is not made yet, then directly post the stock to QI...and if made and stock in under UN stock, then move it to QI via 322, test it, if faulty, then again move it to blocked stock via 350...
Regards

CTM planning generates excess stock

Hello experts ,
We are using CTM planning and we have given build up safety stock and the lot sizing procedure in product master is by period (W). Now CTM planning is generating excess stock for this material . Why is it ?? Can anyone help please

It is not clear in your Q whether the excess stock created while running CTM is lesser or greater in magnitude than the Lot Size. I would not be too surprised if the excess stock is lesser than Lot Size. Not that lot sizing restrictions only apply on supply side and hence there could be a situation where supplies are created in excess.
One other situation where this can happen is when there are unpegged fixed supply orders in the system. In that scenario the order may not be sensed as a supply order by CTM. You can verify that by looking at Pegging Overview related transaction in PPDS. Or do a supply simulation in CTM profile. It can clearly let you know the supply orders considered.
Excess stock can also be generated if there are Quantity Based Safety Stock requirements in the system.
To isolate the problem, I would also try out scenarios with standard lot size instead of periodic just to make sure that there is nothing funny happening with the latter setting.

Deployment: excess stock

Hi Experts,
We have a deployment process, were one Source location is deploying to 1 destination location. The destination location sends its demand to source location through Pur. Req.
Currently we are using Distribution rule "X- Push by Demand", fair share rule "blank" and Push Depl. Hor = 999. Whenever demand is more than supply, deployment is distributing the supply.
Now the requirement is: when there is EXCESS stock at source location that excess stock should also be COMPLETELY DISTRIBUTED.
I do not wish to change my safety stock at destination plant and are using the deployment heuristic, the Deployment horizon = 999.
Please let me know, how can I map the above new requirement.
Thanks & Regards
Andrew

Hi Andrew
Did you tried using the ditribution rule Q- Push by quota arrangment ? You would need to maintain an outbound quota arrangament of 100 % at the source location. I belive this should deploy the excess stock.

Dynamic update of safety stock in SAP R/3 systems (ECC 5.0 version)

Hi Friends,
Forgive my newness to SAP. Let me explain the problem i am facing in SAP. I want to identify the parameters to dynamically update the finished goods safety stock for each depot by SKU wise.
Current process :- Safety stock is calculated manually and updated by using Transaction code MS02 in the system.
It would be highly useful if i know the flow in SAP system and how the current process can be changed?
If more info is required i'm ready to give.
Thanks in advance

Hi Mario Adler,
Thanks a ton for ur answer.
Will it update safety stock for finished goods in each depot by SKU wise? Raw material safety stock isn't my concern.
project description : Manufacturer of chemical goods , 70+ products,350 skus
Distribution : factory to depot (bulk volume)
Mother go-down to depot(Stock transfer)
No of depots :33,factory:3,mother go-down -1
Sales forecasting is done in excel for every month and updated to SAP via BAPI. After that DRP,MRP and other runs takes place.
What are all the areas i need to touch in to get the parameters to update the safety stock?
Regards
Arasu
