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,

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.

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'.

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.

MM - Stock Transfer Requirement

Hi Gurus,
Is there by any chance a way to use Purchasing Info Record with Stock Transfer Requirement and Stock Transfer Order.
I need to use the "minimum purchase quantity" so that my Stock Transfer Order cannot be created below a certain amount of units...
If we cannot use Purchasing Info Record... Does anyone have an idea on how to set up that process ?
Thanks in advance !
Remi

Thank you for your help. The only thing is that is generates Purchase Requisitions for 5 units instead of 2 units.
I would like the system to generate a Purchase Requisition when the accumulated needs for this material are 5 units.

Remi

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.

Stock transfer requirement in MD04

Can any body tell me the meaning of * in the right side of some of the stock transfer requirements(TrnRes) in MD04..
Can anybody explain what is this and give me an understanding..
Thanks
Karthick P

Hi,
shows if the requiement is fixed. When you manually create requirements, or change requirements that has been created by MRP, the requirement element becomes fixed automatically. In other words, you do not see * in requirements created by MRP and has not been changed afterwards.

Stock for required data does not exist during repack of product

Hello,
I have the given situation, during the packing of a product (which is unpacked) in the Work Center I get the following error message:
"Stock for required data does not exist
Message no. /SCWM/L3104"
After a debugging session we have found the cause as being the field FLGAVQ (Indicator: Handling Unit Contains an Available Quantity) in the structure /SCWM/S_HUHDR_INT. My question is if somebody knows from where this mark comes and if you stumbled on the same problem and if so how did you manage?
All the best,
Claudiu Maxim

Hello Sridhar,
Thanks for the response, the packing operation in our case is done in the SCM EWM environment in the specific Work Center. The transaction with which we pack is /SCWM/PACK - Packing - General. Do you have a solution for this problem with regards to the EWM environment?
All the best,
Claudiu Maxim

Excessive Emergency Broadcasting "Required Weekly Test"-ing

Has anyone else noticed excessive Emergency Broadcasting System tests tonight? I've seen at least six (probably more like 8) "required weekly tests" in the past two hours and it's absolutely obnoxious. I'm in Northern NJ if that counts for anything.

When I first got FiOS TV almost 5 years ago I saw and heard tests 2 - 3 times per week, sometimes more, at all hours of the day and night. After about 6 months they disappeared, and I don't remember a test in at least a couple of years, I think they do them in the middle of the night when most people, including me, are asleep.And I never leave the TV on at night.
Is Verizon still installing new TV service in new areas where you are located? If so, I think that may be the reason for the tests. As they install a new subdivision or a multi-family building, etc, I think they are required to test to make sure it works in the new area. Unfortunately though, it appears that they cannot test in just the new area, but seem to cover a lot of areas already installed and activated.
But that many tests in a short time does seem to be excessive; perhaps the tests are failing and they are retesting trying to find the problem? I don't know. But I know I would not be happy either...and unfortunately I have no idea what you might be able to do about it. But I think it will go away soon.

How to deliver the Item without hitting the stock- a requirement of the

Dear All,
How can we restrict an item not to hit the stock while delivering , the reason being the item is already consumed in Production order ( the Batch item is consumed in production).
The main reaason is ,there are 2 batches in a pack to be delivered, a batch item is already consumed in production order.
Now to control the stock hit of Batch item which s/be delivered by not hitting the goods movement.
Thanksa lot for your time

Dear Ram
In the sale order, change the item category of the respective item to TAX manually so that it wont hit the stock and you can do PGI and invoice.
Thanks

MRP recommending excess stock

I have item A with no min/max inventory. Instock is 0.
It is on sales order due Dec. 1, quantity 1.
It is on a PO that is due to arrive Dec. 14, quantity 1.
According to this, I donu2019t need any more, although my SO will ship late.
If I run MRP, it recommends a new PO for Dec. 1.
The problem is that I will end up with 1 extra piece. The only way I can prevent MRP from ordering too much is to have my PO date before the SO date.
Is this the way MRP is supposed to work?

Hi,
Welcome you post on the forum.
You are right. This is the built in function of MRP. Even though you are fine with later arrival, the system calculation will not allow it.
However, it is only a recommendation. The final decision is the person who order. If you are ok with late arrival, just don't add the PO.
Thanks,
Gordon

Requirements transfer to follow up materail, if the stock falls below

Hi All
The issue is related to the requirements transferring the follow up material,
when the inventory falls below the safety stock,
the requirements has to generated for the follow up material, in which is maintained in MRP 4
=================
Here in our case,
when the Inventory stock falls below the SAFETY STOCK,
the requirement are getting generated for the same material, but not for the follow up material( which is maintained in MRP4)
========================
What is the way out for transferring the requirements to follow up material (which is maintained in MRP4), in case of stock falls below the safety stock ?
Thanks & Regards
BRSR

requirement was already clear when you explianed in the first attempt.
i was trying to verify from you did you done anything on that or read any material for follow on mateial.
so follow on mateial has 2 stategies (please check in SAP help file as i didnt worked on this from long time)
1. to use the all existing stock of old and pass the requirement to other
2. on the perticular date ignore any requirement for old material and pass all requirement to new mateial.
there is not way to achive your expected results.
and i am not finding any business requirement that way....what is point of thinking "safety stock" when the material is going to replace by other material.
Please think on this.
Regards,
Pravin M.

Report Stock/Requirement

Hi ABAP Guru's
I want to create a report which lists the stock and requirement for each material of a plant. Like MD04 in ABAP report style.
Can any one suggest or tell me how can i create this report.? I'll be very thankful for every suggestion.
Thanks and Regards,
Kittisak.

Hi
Check this FM, it is related to display MD04 details:
MD_STOCK_REQUIREMENTS_LIST_API
LOOP AT g_t_bomexp INTO g_r_bomexp.
    CLEAR:g_t_mdezx[].
Attaching just a piece of code..
    CALL FUNCTION 'MD_STOCK_REQUIREMENTS_LIST_API'
         EXPORTING
              plscn = l_f_plscn
              matnr = g_r_bomexp-matcom
              werks = g_r_bomexp-werks
              ergbz = l_f_ergbz
              afibz = l_f_afibz
              inper = l_f_inper
         TABLES
              mdezx = g_t_mdezx.
Also look for FM related to BOM Explosion:
eg
CS_BOM_EXPLOSION
Hope it helps.
