Excess stock

Dear All,
              we are using three stage production order to manufacture a particular product. finished component of one stage will be the input of the next stage. The problem is that the system shows stock whereas it is not available physically. what could be the reason and also how can we see the movement of component from one stage to other.

Can u pl clarify this

  • 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,
    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'.

  • 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,

  • 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.

  • 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

  • Stock in Transit

    Hi All
    Scenario
    1. Purchase order quantity 9 units
    2. GR done for 8.999 Units
    3. Stock in transit showing 0.001 units.
    4. Purchase order is still open and cannot do DC as it throws an error that quantity does not match
    5. Purchase order is still open is reports and needs to be closed.
    Please guide me on the same as to whcih Tcode and movement type can be used to settle/adjust the quantity of 0.001 units and what would be its constraints or restrictions.
    Regards,

    Hi,
    As per note no 392205 : Note 389484 makes movement types 557 and 558 available.By 557 mvt type
    excess stock in transit can be removed or  and by 558 missing stock in transit can be created.
    Now as per standard SAP The R/3 system is designed so that the stock in transit can only be posted through stock transport orders (creation during goods issue, reduction during goods receipt).
    Purchase order and material master record can have different units of measure. The purchase order is then closed when the goods issue quantity and quantity of goods received are the same in order unit. However, in the material master record, the stock in transit is managed in the base unit of measure.
    On account of system-dependent and program-internal rounding effects which cannot be avoided, the open stock in transit quantities in order unit and in base unit of measure might not balance to zero at the same time.
    I think probably this will help you in devleoping better understanding as everything is self explanatory now as per note suggested by you.

  • Excess Issue of Material against Production Order

    Hi
    For Goods Issue of Material against Production order , i want the system to control excess issue of material against Production order.  How can it be controlled.

    Hi Madhesh,
    there are many loop holes to issue excess stock against production order
    so better you use user exit so that when ever any material issued against production order and it is in excess then throw error

  • Slow Moving Stock Report

    Hi All,
    May i know the T-Code to list Slow Moving, Fast Moving materials & also for ageing of materials.
    Regards
    Rang

    Hi Rang,
    MC50 looks at the stock level for a material over a period of time and
    identifies the lowest level that the material reached. That lowest level is
    the dead stock quantity as, in theory, that stock was not required. It
    works on the principle that in an ideal world scenario you would maintain
    zero stock sitting in the warehouse because you were able to plan such that
    every day you receive / produce the exact amount that you require to meet
    all customer requirements with no surplus. An example would be that if you
    met all demand over a 3 month period and the stock level in that time never
    dropped below 500 then that would be the dead stock level as throughout the
    period you supposedly could have had 500 less stock and still met all
    requirements.
    MC46 simply counts the number of days since the last issue against each
    material - the more days the slower moving the stock.
    Both the reports have value in that they can highlight problems which need
    addressing - such as excessive stock or unpopular lines - but the results
    they provide do need to be considered with a degree of caution...
    Top-of-head examples could be that zero dead stock in MC50 is not an
    achievable target if there is daily demand and the warehouse works on a FIFO
    basis with a 2 day minimum to receive and then pick, and in MC46 materials
    that are very seasonal will obviously show unfavourably at other times of
    the year.
    Hope its useful
    reward points if deserved
    Cheers!!!

  • MM Audits - What to report on to ensure total stock optimisation

    Evening,
    wondering if you guys can help out here. I have recently started a new position (Inventory Controller in Oil and Gas Industry) and i am only just beginning to understand the MM module in SAP. I have been involved in the RLM module in the past with other Oil and Gas companies. I also manage MRP and release reqs in ME55, follow the RFQ piece and ultimately, create and release PO's.
    What i was looking to do was ensure that the inventory that is held matches what SAP says. Stock checks are the obvious solution but, i believe other areas in SAP that auditors pick up on also need some close attention. I have been reporting on the following:
    Excess stock
    Review of Critical Spares
    PD/ND review (Ensuring that an MRP [PD] stock type is changed to ND when the materials have been consumed)
    Disposals
    Total Stock Value
    Stock Issues and Receipts.
    The question for you guys is: Is there anything else that can be reported to ensure total stock optimisation.
    Appreciate any tips that the Auditors are likely to pick up on too.

  • Inventory - Stock report

    Hi,
    Could anyone tell if there is any standard report in SAP that lists excess stock based on a comparison of Re-Order Point, current stock, and open purchase orders/inbound deliveries.
    Your help will be much appreciated.
    Thanks in advance,
    Regards,
    Anand

    Michael,
    Thanks for your useful information. I can see ROP, stock qty in MB53 and available qty in MD04, but still I need to display the excess after comaparing the available stock and ROP in as single screen. I think we need to download this information into excel and calculate manually or develop a custom program.
    Thanks for your help.

  • MRP with stocks in other plant

    Hi,
    Scenario: 5 stocking Plants + 1 Manufacturing plant under a company code.
    For a finished product, all 6 Plants have stock.
    For MRP, the demand of the finsihed product from all 6 plants is combined and fed as PIR feeding at manufacturing plant.
    Question: How to make  SAP to consider stock of all plants and generate the planned order for the difference Qty?
    E.g. PIR at Mfg plant = 100 Nos.
           Stocks at 5 Stocking plants = 50 nos
           Stocks at 1 Mfg plant          = 10 nos
    Hence on MRP run, system to generate planned order for 100 - (50+10) = 40 Nos at mfg Plant.
    Thanks

    Hi Nitin,
    SAP's planning is based on lean-manufacturing practices - i.e. you will never have stocks in excess of requirements (plus safety stock).  So, in reality, you will not need to "adjust" your production for stocks lying at stocking plants (stocks at stocking plants would be just equal to safety stock logic defined at each plant).
    Now say some demand at any of the stocking plants got cancelled, and you end up with excess stocks at that moment.  So in next MRP-run, system will delete some future STOs.  Or, if there is nothing to delete, then MRP-list will show exception message # 25, and you can decide how to move that excess stocks.
    So, in conclusion, adjustment of production, based on stocks at all 6 plants, will NOT be needed.  Just produce as per MRP proposals, and be on the lookout for exception message # 25.  (Hope you are using special procurement key for demand transfer from stocking plant to production plant).
