Inventory: Movement after count with post date before the count date.

Hi,
We have stock movements all the days of the week.
We conduct physical inventories on Sunday mornings. There are not stock movements on Sunday mornings (stock movements on Sunday starts at night).
Usually we create the SAP Physical Inventory Document on Fridays, assigning Saturday as the Planned Count Date.
We enter the SAP Physical Inventory Count on Sunday (at the end of the count) or on Monday.
How you recommend us to use SAPu2019s Physical Inventory feature in order to calculate the Book Inventory considering all stock movements with posting date less than or equal to Saturday?
Please, suggest us a solution that If we register a movement after we enter the count but with post date before the count date (and the count is not posted yet), the Book inventory is modified accordingly.
Thanks in advance for your support!!

SAP takes the book inventory in the moment you enter the count.
Best you set block movements , this block will be removed automatically when you enter the count. So you can prevent users from posting until you have entered the count.
If you set the freeze book inventory, then SAP takes the book inventory in the moment you create the document.
This is not a good way if you still have movements after inventory document creation and actual count.
You have to make sure - organisational wise, outside SAP - that all movements that happened before inventory count are posted before you start entering the count. There is nothing in SAP that can help you in this case.

Data transfer Inventory count variuos Stock types

Hi,
I have to upload data for Inventory count for Various stock types.
1)can any one explain me what is inventory count for various stock types,
2)any standard methods available to upload data
3)what is the transaction.
Regards,
Vimal

Hi,
1.While taking up physical inventory you have the option of doing it for different stock types being maintained .Like Quality stock,unrestricted stock ,blocked stock.If you are doing this activity in sessions in MI31 ,you need to check against the stock types which are to be counted.This will include the stock of the items as selected and leave aside the stock types not selected.In MI01 also you can select these stock types which are donated by 1,2,3 & 4 stock type.After creating the document the stock counted is to be entered in MI04 .Than get the difference list in MI20.The difference will be posted in MI07 which will complete the activity and stock will be adjusted after posting tyhe difference.
3.With respect to document ref: TCode for Inventory count: MI04
Without document ref: Tcode MI09
2.Go through the below link

Block Shipping dates from calendar to assist Inventory count

Hi Experts,
This is in regard with blocking 3 days for shipping. Client wants to do an inventory count (for a particular plant) and so he wants that no shipment should happen on those 3 days from the plant (in SAP also). So he wants to block those 3 days for shipping.
However, orders can be placed on these days.
Can you please guide me how to proceed on this? Is this related to any change in shipping calendar or factory calendar or any other setting?
Kindly advise,
Thanks,
Anurag.

Hi Rishi,
Thanks for the help !
Yes we use GATP, and yes we want to prevent committed date/ planned PGI date fall between these 3 days.
I went to customizing in APO MAster data > Maintain Planning Calendar (Time Stream).
It is maintained - working time calendar (with gaps) & interval as weeks (Mon-Fri each week).
Could you please guide me which setting should I do do block these 3 days here? Shall I remove these days from Buckets or how?
Kindly advise. And thanks again !
Thanks,
Anurag.

Inventory Count for Batch Managed materials - Plant, S.Loc and Batch Wise

Hi.,
In the company's current scenario, the printing of batch managed materials are scheduled under 3 Job names.
1. First job determines the materials/batches that need to be created today using Program RM07ICN1
2. Second Job Processes the BDC Session created by Program RM07ICN1 using Program: RSBDCSUB
3. Third Job prints the Inventory tickts at the appropriate Storage location using Program: RM07IDRU
Each Job has its own variant.
The Variant for SL.No 1 is defined w.r.t
i. Material Type : Two Material types have been defined
ii. Under selection variable, GIDAT ( Planned count date and GBDAT are flagged.
Current Analysis:
A. The inventory documents get printed with Materials as per the cycle counting indicators defined which govern which material has to be currently counted.
B. Inventory documents are generated for all materials in all the plants and in all the storage locations
C. Batches for a material number may print on different cycle count documents throughout the year.
Customer requirement:
The inventory documents to print on basis of
1. Material, Plant and S.Loc.
This would help in identifying the batches which are currently being counted as well.
2. Customers requirement is to ensure that all batches are accounted for and will identify any overage of batches since in the current process, they are never reviewed as a whole.
QUESTION:
1. How to configure the Customer requriement.
2. How to configure the Variant/s, if thats the place the configuration has to be done to satisfy the customer.
3. How to activate the Variant in SE37 after definition in the Step Indicator. Does it activate on execution?
When i run the Program using SE38 , maintaining options in the Screen ( giving Material, Plant and S.loc), i get the desired list (Batches w.r.t Material,plant.S.Loc). But there is a list of over 150 Batch managed materials and it would not be physically possible to maintain the variant for each each Material,plant,S.loc wise.
Is there a way to configure the customer requirement/s.
Any and all help is much appreciated.
Thanks

Hello Mahesh,
<b>Customer requrirement is specific, they want a list of Inventory Documents to be generated on basis of Material in each Plant-S.Loc batch wise.</b>
Then you need to define multiple varinat for the program.
<b>(a) If i am giving two variants in the same Program name RM07ICN1, how to execute one after after in sequence.
In testing, I have defined in the " Step", Progran RM07ICN1 with one variant and Program RM07ICN1 with another Variant. But on execution of Program RM07ICN1 thru SE38, the screen defined latter ( second variant screen data ) is displayed.</b>
You need to define several steps in SM36 transaction for the program using each variant. SE38 you can use only to save your variant data so later you can use this variant in SM36.
Once you schedule the job with SM36 and release it then it will automatically execute this job as per your criteria (timeline)
Hope this helps.

Inventory count w/o reference doc "MI09" with IDoc WVINVE02

Dear forum,
I am trying to create an inventory count without reference to a document and I thought I would use IDOc WVINVE02 with message code WVINVE. We don't have an SAP inventory document, but would like to use just an external reference.
When running transaction MI09 in the GUI it's quite easy to create an inventory count using:
Plant
Storage location
Special stock
Count date
Material
Quantity
Unit of measure
That's all we want to have.
I have tried to post an IDoc WVINVE02 inbound using FM IDOC_INPUT_STORE_INVENTORY with the corresponding data, but without success. The IDOc interface only states "IDoc not fully processed".
I need some help with how to input data and also need to understand if it is possible to use this IDoc for inventory count WITHOUT a reference document. The documentation available is not clear enough on this. Has anyone experienced a similar challenge?
Thanks!

Inventory Count (1 material under 1 loc have multiple tags)

Hi,
SAP standard inventory count is 1 material 1 location can only have 1 physical document. But our scenario is based on the tag number (which means there will be different tag number for the same code), and our tag number does not have any linkage to the SAP standard inventory count program. This is because even in the same location, our material will be at different places, and we might use more than 1 tag for the same material.
For example our scenario (1 loc 1 material multiple tags):
Tag No      Material Code
CA00001     CPS756
CA00002     CPS756
CA00003     CPS518
CA00004     CPS518
CA00005   CPS518
CA00006   CPS632
Whereas the SAP standrd program is (1 loc 1 material 1 line item):
100000182     1     CPS756
100000182     2     CPS518
100000182     3     CPR632
This will help a lot to ease the entering as the user just need to enter the count according to the tag number, and also reduce any typo error. And if we enter according to SAP method, we will have to sum up the total of all the same code, then only enter the count qty.
Kindly please advise.

Hello Sim,
There are several possibilities you can think about,
1. If you are considering your tags as a batch number then you can put the material number and batch number while creating Physical Inventory.
2. If materials are in different places then you can consider these different places as a different storage location.
3. You can manage your stock with Warehouse mangement functionality (This will be the best option, but will be required to activate warehouse management and lots of data conversion activities).
Hope this helps.

Problem in the Physical Inventory Count

Hi Experts,
We are facing a problem in the Physical Inventory Count as below
1) Suppose for Material XYZ we have done the MI01 on the current date i.e 14.11.2008 with the Planned Count date as 08.11.2008 activating the Freeze Book Inventory check box.
2) Now if there is any movement of material XYZ between 08.11.2008 & 14.11.2008, then while doing MI20 it compares the Physical Count Quantity with the actual book quantity as on 14.11.2008 i.e the current date & not with actual book quantity as on 08.11.2008 which is required by us.
Can you kindly help us in rectifying this issue at the earliest???
Regards,
Samir Bhatt

hi,
In such cases, you use the adjust Book inventory indicator...
SPRO --> MM --> Inventiry management and PI --> Physical inventory > Settings for the PI> Activate the ADj book inv indicator for your plant as per your plant and make the choice btween 2 and 3...
By this the system will auto adjust the book inventory and the count for the goods mov posted.....
Note: This feature is allowed if the posting is done one day after or before...
But in your case, the days are more, so you need to use the recount technique...

MICN Planned Count Date

We are having issues with the planned count date in MICN. We have the float & interval set as 4 days in the configuration.
we have posted a physical inventory document on 04/09 and when i try to create a new inventory document for 04/16 in MICN, system is changing the date to 04/18. I am not sure why it is jumping 2 days ahead. Did anyone face similar issue?
Please let me know.

Figured it out. Its because of the factory calendar setting.Saturday/Sunday was set as non-working days,so when we put the Saturday as planned count date, system was taking the next working day which is Monday.

                       thanks

see the SAP help :
There are two methods of creating a physical inventory document, as follows:
Creating Single Documents
In this case, you explicitly specify the materials to be counted. This method is recommended if you want to take inventory of only a few materials.
Creating Sessions
In this case, you enter the criteria that should determine which materials are to be inventoried in which plants and storage locations. The system then creates a physical inventory document for each plant and storage location with the materials that fulfill the criteria. This method is recommended if you want to take inventory of a lot of materials
Creating Single Documents
1. Choose Phys. inventory doc. -> Create. The initial screen appears.
2. Enter the data required. Choose Edit -> New items to display the item screen.
3. Enter the materials that are to be inventoried.
4. To post the document, choose Phys. inventory doc. -> Post. The system confirms the posting and displays the number of the physical inventory document.
Creating Sessions
1. Choose Sessions ->Create phys.inv.docs ->
Without special stock for physical inventory of companyu2019s own stock
-> Own special stock for physical inventory of own special stocks
-> Externally owned special stock for physical inventory of external special stock
The initial screen appears.
2. Enter the data required.
3. Choose Program->Execute from the menu. The system creates a session. A list appears with all of the items that are to be inventoried according to your selection. The system issues a message with the name of the session created.
After creating the document for all the items, use MI04 for entring the count and MI07 to post the difference.

Physical Inventory Creation Date

Dear experts,
Please advise on the following :
My user use MICN to generate the list of items that are subjected to Physical Inventory for a particular period.
Now, they want to know when the Physical Inventory Documents were being created.
I understand that the the document date in the header level of the PI document will only capture the planned count date of the PI but not the creation date of the document.
My question is : Is it any field that capture the creation date of the PI document?

Hello,
In MI03 header screen, you can see Document Date which is same as creation date. It is at field IKPF-BLDAT.
Thanks,
Venu
