Impact Analysis-"GMI: Allow Negative Inventory"

Hi-
Wanted to know if the subject profile option if set to "0" has impact in any other transaction other than Batch Material allocation where it'll not allow ingredient consumption which may drive on-hand negative.
Will appreciate any response.
-Thanks
Ramen

Hi
632338
If your Profile option set '0' that is NO, definetly it will not have impact in any other transactions related to inventory only, i mean to say, even u can not transfer the inventory from one warehouse to another even if there is No inventory this is your otherthan Batch process.
It means when u set u r profile option GMI: Allow negative inventory to NO(0), u can not move/transfer u r inventory until and unless it exists with some inventory. This is the safest and ideal condition for any process industries.
You have one more option other than YES(1) and i.e., YES WITH WARNING(2), means it does you transaction at the same time and it will warn you by doing so.
Hope this is clear.

Transaction Value with negative inventory

Dear Experts, I need some help understanding why negative quantity inventory can result in a huge transaction value for an inventory item. Let me give an example.
We do allow negative inventory. We manage inventory by item group and we use FIFO.
We have an inventory item, let's call it ABC with a purchase price of $27.50 So far that item had only very few inventory transactions. In one of the transactions the inventory went negative (-1). Next day the problem was fixed through a stock posting which brought the inventory balance back to zero.
The result of that last stock posting was that the transaction value was 262.28 and the cumulative value on the Inventory Audit report shows 234.78! I have no idea why all of a sudden the transaction value is so much higher than the actual purchase price of the item.
Any ideas?

When you allow negative inventory, the normal logic for inventory value calculation will be broken. In this poor case, system will have no way to follow the original logic. The value you got so high is because the negative value has to be ignored and switched to the remaining inventory.
In my previous experience, inventory should be allow negative. Only if you give up, or you don't care, you can let it go.
Thanks,
Gordon

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.

In deed I have a Transport Request in which I can see number of BW Objects like Info objects, Info packages, Info cubes, ODS , Query Elements, Transfer rules,....... some objects are already trasported to the production system even then those objects are attached to the request because of some changes made to them.
Now let me know If an object which is already present in Production system can be re transported with some changes in the object or not ?
Will there any impact on the Production system?

Allow negative stock on storage location

Dear all,
When we allow negative stock on a storage location. At posting time we have an error "deficit stock of batch assignment". Anybody got a clue of what has to be done to correct this ???
Cheers,
Olivier

Dear Oliver,
Please do the following checks.
Prerequisites
To work with negative stocks, you have to:
· explicitly allow this in the Customizing system for each valuation area and storage location
· set the indicator Neg. stocks in plant in the material master record of the individual materials (storage data)
Negative stocks are allowed for special stocks if you have activated negative stocks in the valuation area and for the special stock concerned in the plant. You do not need to activate negative stocks in each material master record.
Procedure
You can define whether you want to allow negative stock by making the relevant settings for each storage type in Customizing.
To do this, choose Logistics Execution -- Warehouse Management--- Interfaces -- Inventory Management -
Allow Negative Stocks in Interim Storage Types --- Allow negative stock for each storage type in the Implementation Guide (IMG).
When the allow negative stock indicator is set, the system lets you post negative quants to the corresponding storage type.
Additionally, you can define whether you want the system to issue an error message (E) or a warning message (W) or no message (blank) when posting negative stock. You can make the relevant setting in the activity Control of System Messages in Warehouse Management. You can determine the notification type using the parameter MSV in the user master record.
To do this, choose System --- User profile --- Own data.
Then select the tab page Parameters.
Enter MSV in the Parameters field and enter the value with which you want to group certain users in the value field (for example 01).
Choose Logistics Execution ® Warehouse Management ® Interfaces ® Inventory Management ® Allow Negative Stocks in Interim Storage Types ® Control of System Messages in Warehouse Management in the Implementation Guide (IMG).
Create a new entry with the version number (Value) you have chosen and enter the desired system reaction in the Message Category field (E, W, or blank).

How to reconcile Negative inventory account????

Hi all,
I have an issue here, where due to some reason, we had to allow the negative quantity and allow release of items. Now this account has some outstanding amount. While using the excise tax code with the combination of CST2%, the system is posting the tax amount of CST into Negative Inventory Adjustment account.
In case where i want this Negative Inventory account to be adjusted, do i need to pass a manual JE where i would debit the CST account with the same amount and Credit the Negative inventory adjustment account?? Please give suggestions.
Thanks in advance,
Joseph

Negative Inventory

Hi BWians,
I am getting negative inventory values.
Sceenario:
The compression should be set for requests that are two weeks old, because it might need to remove one of the request and reload it, in case of any loading failure.
Other than two weeks request all are compressed .
Till last month the values were tallying with R/3.
The data showing negative inventories falls in these two weeks (which is not compressed). Just got a doubt whether its a impact of not compressed.
Please share your thougths.
Thanks in advance
Srini

Hi,
Compression is not the cause for negative inventories. Check if the inventories are getting posted correctly from R3 into the infostructures. Check if there is any customiztion or filtering for the data before its being posted to the infostructures on the R3 side. Moreover check if the postings on the R3 side are correct. We have custom extractors for the inventory and have negative inventory values popping up for certain materials. After investigation, we found that the data is not getting posted to both the infostructures on the R3 side even if the postings are correct. So, check for these kind of scenarios too if they exist on your system. Temporary solution is to load adjustment flat files for those materials to correct the data.
Cheers,
Kedar

Data Federator data lineage and impact analysis

Hi,
I am looking for the use of data lineage and impact analysis feature in data federator at Universe level.
Can I know which objects are using which fields by uisng impact feature in the data federator.
Thanks in Advance.

I realize this answer is a cop out but I'll suggest it anyway. Upgrade.
I struggled with getting the lineage and impact analysis working in 10.1 and had to do quite a bit of trial and error in the Apache configuration files, DAD's ,etc. because the lineage reports were web based. I never got them working in Production due to other much more pressing implementation issues at the time and never went back to fix them.
In 10.2 and above the reports are much easier to get with no real configuration needed.
Anyway, back to your question, I would suggest going back through the 10.1 documentation on getting those to work and have someone a bit familiar with setting up Apache help you. I did get them working in our Test environment but its been so long I can't recall all the steps and tricks, sorry.

Stock Take posting with negative inventory

Hi All,
I have the following problem. I did a stock take on the 31/07/2008 and updated the counted quantities. The stock take has not yet been posted. If I now want to post the stock take I go into the "Stock Posting" screen and enter my date at the top left and then click on the "Update Quantities" button to refresh the On-Hand quantities in line with the date the stock take was captured.
The problem is that if there was more stock sold in the time between the stock count date and the current date than what was actually counted then the system tries to put the on-hand qty into a negative. Since I do not have negative inventory enabled the posting fails.
I would like to know if anyone has a query that will identify the items whose movement from the time of the stock take to the current posting date is greater than the amount counted.
Any help will be appreciated.
Regards

Dear Mr Boshard,
In order to know the value of the stock taking in Business One you can check the field 'COUNTED' in OITW.
Therefore, if you compare the counted and the onhand quantity before doing the inventory posting but after the stock taking you will find which items had more quantity at the moment of the stock taking than now.
Please, try this query:
SELECT T0.[ItemCode], T0.[WhsCode] FROM OITW T0 WHERE T0.[Counted] > T0.[OnHand]
Do not hesitate to come back if you still need help.

Conditions type of category "Delivery Costs"(B) donu00B4t allow negative values

Hello,
I would like to know if it is possible to munipulate a condition type with category "B" Delivery costs in such a way that it allows a negative entry in the Purchase Order.
Estandard SAP does not allow it. Message: 06259 "Negative Delivery costs are not allowed".
If the above is not possible, can anyone tell me how a can manipulate a Discount (fixed amount) in such a way that it not only points at a particlar account (accruels indicator does this job) upon MIGO, but also apears as a line-item upon receiving the invoice (MIRO). As far as I know, only Planned delivery costs can do this job. But they do not allow negative values!
If anyone has encountered a similar task, please tell me how they solved it.
Thanks,
Aart

Hello Guys,
The scenario isas follows.
When one buys fuel, in Chile one has to pay fuel especific Taxes.
Version especific config does not resolve this because we need the tax in amount (value) not in percentage.
In our system we resolved this by creating a material "Fuel especific Taxes" which points at a tax-account with a special tax-indicator.
So far so good.
Now the government implemented a second fuel tax - "Fuel tax variable" which we might resolve in the same way, but the problem is this tax might be negative(!).
We cannot create a material with a "negative value" in our Purchase Order and discount conditions have inmediate efect on the material costs in the PO.
The ideal would be incorporate a condition type in the PO which upon invoicing (MIRO) shows up with the tax account (and a possible negative value!
The model we have developed upto now is using the tabpage "GeneralAccount" in the MIRO but in this model we have to indicate the account ourselves. The system does not propose it.
Thats why I thought of the "Planned Delivery costs" option.
Hope this clarifies a bit more the case we have.
Thanks for any feedback

Allow negative stocks only if i have open purchase order

Good Morning Gurus
How to to the customization for the scenario like
open purchase must for allowing negative stocks in my plant.
with out open po negative stocks should not allow.
can we config for this ????????????
Thanks & Regards,
Naresh

Hi,
Why business go for negative posting, when purchase orders are open and if purchase orders are open, business can go for goods receipt as and when goods are delivered!
For special purpose, business go for negative stock posting with settings in OBY6 t.code for selection of check box 'negative stock permitted' in processing parameters for your company code and with setting in OMJ1 t.code for selection of check box 'negative stock' for your valuation area(plant).

Impact Analysis: How to trace which objects and tables used in a report?

Impact Analysis: How to trace which Webi objects and tables used in a report?
Currently, our company have been using BO Webi as our ad-hoc and reporting tool for over a year now. Past several months, we've been pushing our power users to develop their own report, and started to notice that we loss track off which data (tables, columns, ... , BO objects) being used where and by whom. The BI team now spend more time tracing through reports manually, instead of designing Universe.
After consulted with our local SAP technical sale, they said the only solution is to buy BO's ETL (Data Integration) and
Metadata Management tool, which price starting from $300K per CPU. I suppose that is NOT the right solution; however, we have not found one yet. Some executives believe Cognos (now by IBM) would provide a better BI solution as we scale.
If anyone know, please provide (1) Impact Analysis method: How to trace which Webi objects and tables used in a report? and (2) Does Cognos provide better impact analysis method without a heavy spending?
Thank you very much,
Ed

EdPC-SCB,
have you tried enabling auditing?
- Yes, audit log only shows user's activities which isn't useful for us. Please let us know any audit log that might be helpful .
For most of the servers listed in the CMC there is an "Audit" tab. I'd say if you have the disk space in your database for Auditor available, then if in doubt turn it on (at least for a while) to see if it exposes what you are seeking to find out --that'd be the quickest way. The documentation (xir2_bip_auditor_en.pdf) doesn't offer much in helping you to see a correlation between ticking on an Audit option in a Server and how it will populate in the Auditor DB -- most of us just hunt and peck until we get what we want. Once you have the good stuff in each of the Servers ticked on you'll be able to track down which report recieves which object. To help youself out initially, you should run every report that you can find so Auditor will get seeded.
thanks,
John

Upgrade to 12.1.2- impact analysis

We are doing a technical analysis and comparison with our 12.0.6 instance vs the new 12.1.2 instance
Can someone point me in the direction of documentation that might help in analyzing the impact of this upgrade from a Technical standpoint? I am researching the impact on CEMLIs and other objects.
Thanks

I do not believe there is a document that provides impact analysis. In the past, we have had to do this on our own, using a combination of -
1. a schema-by-schema comparison between the old and new versions (using a tool like TOAD or SQL Developer) and
2. reading thru the RCDs that describe the changes between the old and new versions (see MOS Doc 561580.1 - "Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.1 Release Content Documents" for your specific version)
Pl be aware that if the schema comparison reports no changes, it does not necessarily mean that everything in the new version will work as it did in the old - Oracle has been known to create new objects (tables. views etc) in the new version while continuing to retain the same objects from the old version, even though they are not being used in the new version.

BAM Impact analysis report

Hello, Oracle 9iAS is not needed.
Some random questions:
Have you got a DAD set up in Oracle Web Server for you repository (I assume it is named owb_repos)?
Have you got the package wmp_api_call correctly installed in owb_repos schema?
When I first tried Impact Analysis, it failed to add the correct port (7777) to the URL. Then I discovered the option in the menu Project->Preferences...->Browser where you can set up your port.
Hope this helps,
Antonio
