Info Structure S031 - Information on movement type categories

How can I find out the movement type categories for the S031 info structure? For instance what movement types add to the "Goods receipt" total or the "Goods issue" total. Also, how do you "switch off the updating process for specific, individual movements" as mentioned in the SAP documentation below.
The SAP documentation says:
"Goods movements are divided into the following types:
Goods receipt
Goods issue
Stock transfer
Transfer posting
Inventory differences
You can switch off the updating process for specific, individual movement types in inventory management or in one of the subsequent applications in the logistics chain."

Hi Sherry,
I had similar requirement. You have two options:
1. Just as you've known you can use the field "Statistically relevant".
With this indicator, you control whether a movement type is statistically relevant for Inventory Controlling or not.
In the standard system, all movement types are set in such a way that all material movements for the valuated stock and for the vendor consignment stock are updated.
2. You can define by statistic group:
As of Release 3.0C, there is a customer-specific enhancement that enables you to define a maximum of 4 statistics groups for each movement type. The name for the statistics group has four digits and is freely definable. With the help of the statistics group, you can individually update key figures of Inventory Controlling.
Example: Key figure Consumption and Range of coverage
In table T156, the movement types are characterized as relevant to consumption. Consumption is correspondingly updated in Inventory Controlling. In the information system, it can be useful for the user to interpret issue quantities (that is actually no consumption) as consumption in order to calculate the range of coverage of the material.
Example: A material is always transported into another plant by stock transfer. In the issuing plant, no range of coverage can be calculated because the stock removal quantity is not affecting consumption (movement type 351).
What is to be done in detail?
a) Maintain table TMCA via Transaction SM31.
b) Use SAP enhancement MCB10001 for Inventory Controlling.
Here, you can change the field contents of communication structures MCBEST and MCBEST according to your requirements.
In the above-mentioned example, the source code in the SAP enhancement would have to be as follows:
LOOP AT XMCMSEG.
* Kommunikationsstruktur Bestandscontrolling
IF XMCMSEG-STGRP1 = '1234'.
* Statistikgruppe 1234
* Menge Gesamtverbrauch
XMCMSEG-MGVBR = XMCMSEG-MENGE.
MODIFY XMCMSEG.
ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.
Please let me know if this helps you.
Regards,
Shawn.

Transporting LIS info structures

Hi ,
We have a customized info structure sitting in our DEV box and we need to transport this to our QA system. There is a however info structure with the same name sitting in QA system, but it does not have any data dictionary tables. Should we just regenerate this info structure in the QA system or do we have to do a re transport of the info structure from the DEV box and overwrite the info structure in QA?
Thanks in advance for your help
Vishal

Warwick,
Also, can you tell me if the dimensions have been changed after the transport was done to the QA, and we need to do another transport, can you provide the technical details on how to transport it. The person who had created the info structure has left the company and we are trying to bring the info structure over to the QA

Self defined LIS info structure

Hi Experts,
I would like to create an info structure S501 including the following characteristics and key figures.
Characteristics:
Region
Country
Sold-to Party
Material
Key Figures:
Prod. Alloc. Qty
Incoming Order Qty.
I got problems when specifiying update rules. Any hints for it? I don't know what to do with it. Thanks.

Hi Macy,
You can go to transastion code <b>MC9C</b> and enter your self-defined info structure and version. The system will generate automatically a standard analysis program report for above info structure.
From here you can check the program name etc.
Also check this link for more detail about LIS.

Querry regarding Info Structure

Dear All,
I have created a Info structure by copying S070 info structure. I have created an update rule and activated the updating also, but when i use this info structure in MCI7 (Info system) no data is displayed in that screen. Only ' 0 ' is displayed in all the fields.
I am not able to understand where am i going wrong, I would request you to please help me solve the above issue.
If possible please reply with detail procedure of creating new Info Structure.
Regards,
Rashmi Potdar

Hi
Characterstics used as criteria according to which the data record is selected in info structure, in this case you can add new characterstics for searching creteria, but it is not recomanded to delete the old one as this is only searching creteria. yes you need to re-generate the info structure after every updates.
regards
Vivek.

Adding new key figure in Info structure

Hi all,
I am in a need to add a new key figure to our info structure here in my company.
The way I understand it is, it would be best to create a NEW info structure and copy all existing key figure and characteristic and then insert my new key figure into this and rewrite the macro if required.
So my question is
1. How to determine which info structure is currently in use in my company? If i check in MC89 - the key figures match what is in Info structure S076. So is it safe to assume that we are using standard S&OP in my company? Is that a correct way to identify the currently used info structure?
2. For our KMAT, when i open a planned order I see that there in another info structure (not S076) under configuration tab. So can we have diff info structure in use at a same time ?
Please guide.
Thanks,

Hi Nisha,
1. First of all, How would I determine which info structure is being used at this time in my company?
I need to know this so that when I am creating my own custom (S500 - S999) info structure, i can copy the existing KFs and Characteristics and add them to my info structure and then Add a specific key figure on top of that.
Info structures are nothing but tables so in se16 you can check which are Info structures are having update values.
Yes you can add the specific key figure on existing self defined info structure in MC22 after that you need to generate it.
2. Can multiple info structure be in 'use' at the same time in any scenario?
For self defined info structure are application specific you can not have multiple info structure for same scenario. If you take the example of flexible planning with self defined info structure then you can transfer the demand from only one info structure.

Info Structure

Hi Friends,
Is there any info structure which gives the list of open sales orders without entering material or customer. Similar functionality like VA05. However my client's purpose do not solve with VA05 because there we need to enter atleast a material or a customer and also we cannot enter a range of customers or materials. Please suggest.
Your co-opeartion highly appreciated.
Regards,
Vamsi

Dear Vamsi
In VA05 itself, you dont have to input either the customer code or material. It will populate all sale orders if you execute without giving any data. On the other hand, you can also try with VA05N if you are in ECC6
thanks

Dear,
This is problem with your self define info-structure check all characteristics and key figure in MC22.
or information on possible causes, please refer to the long text of the message. In addition, this message will be displayed if your infostructure contains more than one characteristic that uses either of the check tables MARA or T001W. In otherwords, you should have only one material characteristic and one plant characteristic in your infostructure.
Also refer this thread,
Info structure lacks the necessary structure - MA004

How do I download all my photos onto an external hard drive intact without loosing iPhoto's features, important info and details? I need to delete pictures and files to make room in My mac's memory which is currently full.

Hi
How do I download all my photos onto an external hard drive intact without loosing iPhoto's features, important info and details? I need to delete pictures and files to make room in My mac's memory which is currently full.
Maro

So you want to move the iPhoto Library?
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
