Inventory count for subcontracing material

I want to take the inventory count for the material with subcontracor on 31st march 2008 (previous period).
I have tried to know the stock with subcontractor using T-code ME2o, MB5B, MBLB but I'm not getting desired results(i.e stock values on 31st march).
Is there any other/alternate way.
Please suggest.

Inventory count is used for counting internal material which means within plant and storage location.
To see stock provided to vendor use tcode ME2O.

Inventory count for Various Stock types

What is Inventory count for Various Stock types?
i have to upload data to this.
can anyone explain this and give the tcode for this.
Regards,
Vimal

Hi,
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.

Hi,
Why dont you use T-coe MI01 and go extras and selct collective processing, it should give an option to enter more than five serial numbers.

Inventory maintenance for Configurable Material and their Variants.

Hi Gurus,
Can anybody help me as how to handle the following issues?
1. inventory maintenance for configurable material
2. variants stock position maintenance (should it be maintained seperately from configurable material?)
3. what about single values and multiple values components stock position?
Regards,
Sada

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
my query is say for example there is a material called XXX.
for this material the stock position is now 1000 units in warehouse. that is ok
if the above "XXX" is a configurable material, it might be having chars (say as additional components upto 10, which may be required by customers some times and no some times). If we maintain stock position for material XXX then what about components. because it is not always fixed and asked by the customers. customer may ask all components or some components.
Ex: Car is material.
A/C, Luggage carrier on the top, tool kit these are characteristcs.
I hope you understand me.

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,
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.
Then you need to define multiple varinat for the program.
(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.
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.

Multiple physical inventory counts for same storage loc

We have a plant where the same SAP storage location is used for multiple physical locations (e.g. individual build stations). We would like to be able to count by physical area rather than by part number per se. So the goal would be to enter multiple counts against the same part and post differences only when all counts are done, as defined by the aggregate of the individual counts.
Is this possible? I tested it using MI31 to create phys inventory doc, then Mi04 for count 1 and MI09 for count 2, but received a message M7700 "Physical inventory for XX is already active"
Any ideas would be appreciated.

How do you know in your SAP in which area the material is?
can you know this from MMBE or MB52?
if not, then I do not see any chance for MI31, except you just create one inventory doc for the entire location and make copies of the document for each area you have. after counting you have to consolidate each copy into one and post then the count in MI04.

Cycle count for serialized material

Guys,
When we do cycle count for serialized items, it pop up to enter serial # when updating the count. Is there any BADI/User exist to skip this step in counting for serialized materials. We dont want to enter serial#, since volume is hugh and serial# is of less important, only count matters.
Regards
TGB

Once you active the series number, then all the material need marked and managed with series number.
and stock counting need under series number.
it will cost more time absolutely than no series number.
if you think the series number not important, you can Deactivate serial number.
But please note, the reason why you use serial number is to manage the material one by one against the series number.
NOT just count the quantity.

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.

Error in posting Inventory documents for a serialized material

hi.,
Can someone update me the reason for:
1. Error in posting inventory documents for a serialized material
What are the steps to be followed during the
1. Creation of Serialized material
2. Creating a Purchase document for a serialized material
3. Generating a G/R for a serialized material.
4. Generating an inventory document for a serialized material.
Any update is much appreciated.
Tx.
Mahesh

Hello Mahesh,
Let me try to answer your queries.
1. Generally, how does the flow of Cycle counting go w.r.t to the Indicators A.B.C and D which has been configured in OMCO.
Would that be as per the Consumption/usage of the materials?
The following link will help to understand the cycle count process
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/en/4d/2b8e3d43ad11d189410000e829fbbd/frameset.htm
2. How are the indicators of A,B,C,D to be set up for the other materials in the particular plant which have not been fixed as CC.
If you run the MIBC (Set ABC indicator) report, it will automatically set the ABC indicator based on your selection parameter.
3. How does the system take up the inventory count for materials that have not been flagged as CC Fixed.
Cycle counting inventory will be carried out only for the material with ABC indicator for cycle count, if you exclude the material from MIBC report or manual ABC setting then that material will not be considered under cycle count when you execute MICN report to create cycle count inventory doc.
4. How does the sytem take up the inventory count for materials for materials which have been flagged as Fixed.
Material with CC fix indicator means when MIBC report will not change CC indicator for that material with fix indicator, so when you run MICN report at that time system will take last inventory date from MARD table for that material and calculate the next due date based on ABC indicator in material.
Hope this helps.

Inventory Count MVLS as 0 for Project & Visio

Hi,
I'm using CM2012 and asset intelligence is all setup and (seems) to be working fine. I have imported my MVLS and it is reporting back to me the inventory counts on Windows 7 and Server OS's...however, it isn't reporting back inventory counts for
Project, Visio, visual Studio, Exchange etc...
Am I missing something really simple in the inventory settings?
Any ideas would be very welcome as its driving me mad!
Thanks....

Yes, I know this is an old post, but I’m trying to clean them up. Did you solve this problem, if so what was the solution?
I hate to say it but if are not seeing everyt8ihg listed then you need to contact CSS or the MLVS team, they will work with you to solve this problem.

Physical inventory document - for all A parts

Hi,
We are in the process of preparing our system for physical inventory count for all A parts (Cycle count indicator is A).
1. We ran MI24 to get all open physical inventory documents.(they are around 100).
2.Then we ran MI31 (didn't create batch input) for all A parts and the following are checked - 1. Material marked for deletion 2. only materials w/o zero stock 3. Unrestrcited use 4. Blocked 4. Include inventoried materials 5. Included inventoried batches. The variant for MI31 includes all A parts in the material selection and the required plant and SL are input. The output said, phy inventory documents could be created for 656 materials.
3. I wrote a query with MARC and MARD to get all A parts with unrestricted quantity > 0 for the above specified plant and SL. The list produced 882.
The above two counts are not matching.
I ran MI31 for some of the materials which are in the list materials as per point 3 but not in the above 2. But MI31 said, no physical inventory document can be created.
We want to make sure both the both numbers are equal (step 1 + 2 = step 3), to make sure all A parts will be counted. Can anyone explain why they are not matching? or Am I missing something?
OR any other ways to make sure all A parts will be counted. Thanks,
Regards,
Sundar.

Please refer my comment. It may be useful for you.
There are two ways if you want to carry out Physical Inventory count
1)Manual -
First check if there are no open PI document for a material using MI31.
Then carry out three transactions one after another MI01, MI04, MI07
2) Automatic
Maintain CC physical inv. indicator in material master i.e A, B, C
Before that ensure that you have maintained SPRO setting for A, B and C.
Ok Now check the planned count date in MARC table. Run a Z program to change the last count date
Now run MICN and schedule a job to create PI documents

Upload inventory count issue

house my issue is
                              1. after creating an inventory document, adding materials to this doc is streeful i have to add them 1 after the other is they no other way of selecting all the materials

                       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.
