Inventory Count upon removal of stock

Guru's,
I have a quick question for you experts;
Inventory counts u2013 I know there are various techniques that we could use within my company but one requirement that was asked about was for that for every pick/removal from a Fixed Bin Storage Type that you had to enter/confirm the remaining quantity left in the bin. The process seemed very extreme in terms of admin for the pickers but it ensured that the picking was 99.98% accurate.
Any ideau2019s Guru's? We are on 4.7 and running SAP Web console for the warehouse(s) in for putway/picking and Inventory. I realise that there are methods such as 'count when zero & count upon first placement' but this is something different..
Thanks in anticipation for any help you can give.
Regards
Dan

You can use 2-step confirmation but it is related to the quantity you remove. So, warehouse workers have to confirm the quantity when they remove it from the source bin and they have to confirm it when they place it into the destination bin.
SPRO > LE > WM > Activities > Confirmations.
If you want to trigger automatic check of the remaining quantity, it is very propably you have to go to development (I'm not aware of any setting through which you could realize this)
However, if stock removal & putaway quantities are always accurate (WH workers check only these and not the whole content of the bin), stock in the bins should be accurate also automatically.

Csaba

    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.

  • 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!
    ::Ellen

  • 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 (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 Inventory Count

    Hi Everyone,
    I tried to put a quantity in stock in a storage bin that i created  
    For that , I used transaction LI01
    I have given the Storage Bin and then activated.
    After that while entering the inventory count in LI11, i got the error as ''Default values for this storage type are not maintained''
    Kindly help me out is there any configuration settings have to be done for Inventory Count.
    Regards

    You need to maintain the default values of physical inventory for each storage type in customizing

  • Physical Inventory Count with Batches / Inventory Tracking+Posting

    Hi,
    There does not seem to be any way to record a Physical Inventory count with Batch managed items.
    Scenario-1: In case 1.8 kg of batch number 222 is counted during Physical Count. B1 has Batch number 111 with quantity 2.5kg. B1 assumes that a lesser quantity of existing batch 111 was counted and the batch SELECTION screen appears.
    Scenario-2: Similarly, if 3 kg of batch number 222 is counted during Physical Count and Batch number 111 exists on Business One with quantity 2.5kg, then B1 assumes that a new batch was found and the batch CREATION screen appears.
    Scenario-3: If 2.5 kg of batch number 222 is counted during Physical Count - with Batch number 111 on Business One with quantity 2.5kg, then B1 assumes a zero "difference" in posting window. Wrong batch removal and new batch addition cannot be done - the batch selection/creation screen does not pop up with CTRL+TAB.
    A Physical inventory count sheet with hundreds of rows with all 3 above scenarios in the rows is normally supposed to be entered into any system.
    An easy way to do this should exist on SAP B1 but does not appear to exist right now.

    Message# 551219/2009
    Dear Ajay Audich,
    Thanks for your message and screenshots. In current version of SAP Business One, the Inventory Posting functionality does not offer input at the batch level. The system behaves in the following way:
    If the Difference number is positive, you will see a Define Bathes
    window where you can assign the item quantity to the relevant batches.
    If the Difference number is negative, you will see a Batch Number
    Selection widow where you can issue item from the relevant batch.
    So it isnot possible to enter the count for batch managed items per batch. The possible workaround is after Inventory Posting, use Goods Issue and Receipt to manually adjust the Batch quantity.
    Please kindly have a try. If the feature is important for customer
    business process, please kindly refer to attached Note 1028874 for
    further action.
    Sorry for any inconvenience, we appreciate your understanding.
    Kind regards,

  • Alert from the system when inventory count is going on for a bin or materia

    Hai Consultant ,
    Our customer is asking for whether the system can identify what are all the materials in a particular bin has been scheduled for delivery while performing inventory count . Please help me out in this
    Thanks and Regards
    Sunil

    Sunil -
    Few queries related to this issue...
    1. Is batch management is used?
    2. If yes, While creating delivery batches get auto picked or you are assigning manually?
    As if the PI is going on in WH and delivery gets created, stock under count is not applicable to pick for delivery. the stock in LS24 with 'X' as status will not get picked in delivery, so no question of getting stock picked for delivery.
    On the other hand, if the delivery gets created and stock got picked, it is under 916 sto type. For 916 also you are carrying PI?
    As a consultant i feel you should convience this to your client on this issue.
    Please confirm me to dig more on this.

                           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.

  • Remove the stock

    Hi,
    Due one warehouse burnt, physically there is no stock.
    but system stock is there. How to remove the stock .
    BY doing Physical inventory we can remove stock
    but stock exit in different interim storages and negative stock also exits.
    how to proceed?
    regds

    Hi,
    In my opinion first you shoul make order in you warehouse:
    - process all TRs (LB10, PCNs (LU04)
    - reverse picking against deliveries (if picked goods cannot be delivered due to damage)
    - if still you have minus stock you should investigate what the reason is (is it allowed in IM? There's no corresponding PCN?) --> eliminate it (it may happen you have to move the proper +quant to the -quant manually.
    So, I suggest to make preparation first, and only after that start PI (you should be able to make order in the syste, only the wh burnt).

  • 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,

    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 !
