  • How to identify Inventory and non inventory items

    Dear all,
    what are the ways to differentiate inventoried and non inventoried items.
    please advise. thanks.
    Thanks and regards
    Udaya

    he means the purchase order item category which can be seen in transaction ME23N.
    You never made clear if you want differentiate in SAP or the physical stock in the warehouse.
    As already explained by another one, in SAP you can procure one material number either to stock or to be expensed immediatly while receiving.
    However, physically you dont see any difference, you have to take organizational measures to not store expensed material together with material procured to stock.
    Even further, you should try to receive items which are not procured to be stored, at a different physical receiving place.
    In MIGO transaction at item detail in tab WHERE you will see a storage location if the material is to be stored in your warehouse, but you will not see a location if the material is procured directly to a project or cost center. then you see a receipient instead .

  • Purchasing - A/P Transaction Processing for Services and Non Inventory Item

    On of the main areas of concern that businesses have is in the area of Purchasing, Goods Receipts and AP Invoices Processing - There is a requirement that businesses have widely referred to as 3-way matching.
    While SAP Business One has this functionality covered quiet well via the following, there is still some need for enhancements so that the application can correctly reflect the AP Accruals:
    - Purchase Order processing with Approval Process (if configured)
    - Ability to perform Goods Receipts for Services.
    - Matching of AP Invoices to Goods Receipts with AP Invoice Approval Process (if configured)
    The above transactions serve the 3-way matching quiet well for all purchases however when it comes to accuring for Services that have been provided, the application does not do this. The Goods Receipt transaction processing to acknowledge the service delivery is allowed however the related posting to the allocation account is missing.
    The process that is followed by the application is same for Items that have not Inventory Items in Item Master.
    As a result of the above, the business have to manually work out what the Accurals for services provided but not invoiced should be.
    With little enhancement to the product this shortfall could very easily be overcome.

    Hi,
    Once there are transactions, we cannot make existing Inventory type item to Non Inventory type item.
    Check SAP note:937297 which states as follows :
    Symptom
    Changing the status of the Inventory Item checkbox (in Item Master Data) for items with inventory transactions and documents, might lead to inaccuracies in the calculations of inventory value.
    Other terms
    Inventory Item, Non-inventory Item, Item Master Data, Continuous Stock, Perpetual Inventory, Inventory Valuation, 2004, 2005, 2005 A SP01
    Reason and Prerequisites
    Consulting Note
    Solution
    The status of an item (Inventory Item/Non-Inventory item as selected in the Inventory Item checkbox in the Item Master Data window), cannot be changed once an A/P, A/R, or Inventory document is posted for the item.

  • Shippable but nonbillable and non inventory relevant  ?

    Hi,
    I need to configure an item category that allows shipping - but is non billable and does NOT create demand (non inventory relevant
    What makes an item category not create demand?
    Any / all ideas are welcome

    Hi,
    For making an Item category as "Non Billable", you need to make the field "Billing Relevance" blank in T.code VOV7. For ex: Say you are using Itm Cat ZTAN. Go to VOV7 and in field "Billing Relevance" make it blank. Make sure that this item category is used only for non billable items in a sales order.
    To have a non stock material create a material of material type "NLAG" . This will resolve all your issues.
    Let me know in-case you have any issues with this.

  • ZCM Inventory and Non-Standard Ports

    Greetings all:
    I have a client who has ZCM installed on a Windows server. During the install they decided to not use port 80 and 443 (due to another app on the box) and instead use 90 and 1443. After we applied ZCM 10.1, 10.1.1 and 10.1.2 the server showed issues with imaging. Research showed the issue to be trying to use port 1443 instead of 443. When we tried to change any config file to reflect 1443 the file would be changed back to 443. They decided to use 443 for SSL communications but still needed to use port 90 for other communications.
    Recently they realized that devices were not inventorying. They do not have the full agent installed on their workstations, only the inventory-only agent. It appears that any new workstations with a new install of the agent inventory, but updates do not occur. We enabled logging on a test machine. Please see the relevant part of the log below.
    Changing the umia xml file to reflect port 80 on the workstation seems to correct the issue and we can upload new data.
    What happened during our upgrade to change the ports we use to communicate with this server and what files can we edit to get back to the original ports we defined?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  • Server Inventory and Desktop Inventory on same box?

    I have been trying to run the inventory services for both Desktop and Server
    on the same box. I have got it running now after some trouble (no help to
    novell doc). I have it setup to roll everything up with no local databases.
    My question:
    Is anyone doing the same in a semi large enviroment 50+ servers 6000+
    desktops?
    I have been working in a small test inviroment so I am a little hesitant to
    deploy into production.

  • Inventory Management 0IC_C03: Beginning and ending inventory

    Hi Gurus
    My report is based on Inventory Management cube and I have a requirement where in I need to show Begining Inventory and Ending Inventory for Plant per Period.
    There is no KF for Beginning Invin SAP standard model in inventory management cube (0IC_C03 cube), so I thought to restricting total quantity by Fiscal period and Offset by minus one to get begining inventory.
    Here is my report layout:
    I have got : Period , Plant in rows and Beginning and ending inventory in Columns.
    Desired Output:
    Fiscal Period | Plant |  |  Begining Inventory | Ending Inventory.
    03/2009        |  1001 |    100                       |  50
    Actual Report output
    Fiscal Period | Plant |  |  Begining Inventory | Ending Inventory.
    02/2009        |  1001 |                 100          | 
    03/2009        |  1001 |                                |  50
    So basically report is being split on two lines for current and previous (due to restriction in begining period : Offset =-1 on period).
    Question is how to achieve both begining and ending inventory for a period in same line.
    Thanks in avdance for help and time
    SA

    HI Naveen
    Thanks for the reply. Non *** KF are already being used and Standard SAP model is being followed. Problem is not with back end but with frontend. Data coming on the report is fine but problem is how to show them on same line. Remember Beginning inventory for current open is ending inventory for previous month and  in SAP content there is no KF called as begining inventory. Basically data from two consecutive periods (current and previous one) needs to be on same row of report, but they are coming on different rows if we have period in drilldown by period. this makes sense but how to overcome this.
    This, We have all the correct data but facing issue while displaying that on frontend.
    Thanks

  • Need a query to update the inventory item to non inventory item

    Dear all,
            I need a query which should update the Inventory to Non - Inventory Item.

    Hi,
    You need to freeze the inventory by click inactive tick box. This will prevent users to use the inventory.
    The inventory posting lists will still exists as an inventory's transaction history for auditor if the inventory have had transactions.
    To empty the warehouse, just perform good issue and use inventory decrease account. After the warehouse has been empty, create similar inventory item by right click --> select duplicate. Create new item code and in the tab remarks, just write this non inventory item was ever inventory item with code e.g. xxxx.
    if you want to recover the stock, just create new item and then receive the stock into warehouse using Good receipt. use the same account code with account code used in the good issue.
    JimM
    PS.
    Do not use sql statement to update B1 database. No SAP support provided afterwards.

  • Picking non inventory items for delivery

    hello
    Can anyone help us with the following issue :
    - in our deliveries we have both inventory items and non inventory items (freight lines, software). Non inventory items have to appear in the same delivery document as the inventory items
    - we cannot create those non-inventory items in inventory as they cannot appear in any stocktake
    - the picklist doesn't accept to release non-inventory items for picking
    Any idea ?
    Fabrice

    Hi Fabrice,
    Just an idea. Will it work if you create the non-inventory items in your item master data as just a sales and purchasing item, but not an inventory item? That way you can include it along with your inventory items without having any impact in your stocks. One issue is that the non-inventory item will not be shown in your pick and pack, but you can print a copy of your sales order as a pick list.

  • Inventory and MS Loopback Adapter problem

    I have a couple hundred imaged machines that all have a MS Loopback Adapter
    in addition to the NIC used for network communication. The MAC address of
    the loopback is always the same. For it's purpose, it is not a problem. For
    whatever reason, ZEN inventory assigns the machines an inventory storer
    string with this MAC number so that each inventory replaces the last. Only
    the last machine inventoried is in the DB. Is there a fix?
    Erick Larson

    Apparently, the tech who deployed the machines, deployed our image to one,
    inventoried it, recaptured the image, imaged the rest and deployed the
    machines with the same Inventory ID. That's my guess, anyway. Only machines
    deployed by this one tech, and all of the machines deployed by this tech,
    have this issue. Deleting the HKLM\Software\Novell\Workstation
    Manager\InvScanner key (ZEN app to remove key works fine,) setting machines
    to do full inventory and re-inventorying fixes things. PitA, but it works.
    All machines have the same MAC prefix on the Scan File Name but all get
    unique suffix during the process. Is there any documentation on this
    "hidden" part of the process?
