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!

Reference Doc in Billing Doc transfer to FI change to 0000000000000000

Dear Expert,
Kindly help to advise on this.
We had an issue where we noticed that one Billing Doc transfer to FI had a Reference Doc value with 0000000000000000.
But in the billing header data we already keyed in something else.
There are no doc changes in both side.
How could have this happen?
Please help.
Thanks in advance.

Dear AP,
As per my checking, there is no validation maintain in the said tcode.
What else could be wrong?

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,
Canna Mu

Why is inventory count Doc's status still active after posting difference

Thanks,
Linda

Sounds like inventory management.. I found document is still active through MI02 after I am done with posting difference through MI20.
Here is what I did,
MI31 create inventory count sheet (100000207)for warehouse
M104 Enter inventory count
Mi11 recount for some items in 100000207
Mi20 post difference
Question: why 100000207 is still active since I alreay completed posting difference? Now the only option I have to deactive is to delete it, however when I am trying to do so, system give me a warning sign saying deletion will errase the evidence to posting difference. Is there any steps I missed so 10000207 is still active?
thanks,
Linda

                       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.

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

Inventory Count Authorization

Whom should be posting the inventory count? An inventory management personnel or an independent person posted in accounts or finance department (the logic being the inventory count may involve inventory write off / write in!!!

Hi,
Transferring Physical Inventory Count with Reference to the Document
In this case, you use program RM07II34 (Batch Input: Enter Count with Reference to Document).
Transferring Physical Inventory Differences with Reference to the Document
In this case, you use program RM07II38 (Batch Input: Enter Count with Reference to Document, Post Differences).
Transferring Physical Inventory Count Without Reference to the Document
In this case, you use program RM07II39 (Batch Input: Enter Count Without Reference to Document).
Transferring Physical Inventory Differences Without Reference to the Document
In this case, you use program RM07II40 (Batch Input: Enter Count Without Reference to Document, Post Differences).

0DOC_CATEGR-Sales Document Category of Reference Doc. in Order Header

Hi,
I am extracting the standard datasource for Sales Order Header 2Lis_11_VAHDR to BW.I am getting error while loading data.I checked it in PSA there are around 30 records which were showing the error with the message
"Record 985 :Contents M from field VGTYP_AK(mapped to 0DOC_CATEGR) cannot be converted in type DEC ->longtext RSAR 198" and
"Error in an arithmetic operation in record 985 RSAR117".
I am not getting this error while loading the Order Item Data.
'M' is the Document Category of Reference Doc. in Order Header.For sales document type "RE".
In R/3 the reference was taken on Inv.No instead of Order number and also there is a User Exit written on MV45AFZZ program to check the referred quantities and also zero quantiity lines in case of back split.
As there is no customization done in BW and the only customization was in terms of an User Exit in R/3 please let me know what is the reason of this error.
Thanks in advance.
Venkat

Hi Venkat,
Assume the data mapping in transfer rule and update rule is correct
Maybe you can check the info object definition of 0DOC_CATEGR in your system. Based on the error message you mentioned below, it looks like 'data type' of the object concerned is NUMC? In our system it is CHAR (standard BC)...

Unique issue with PDF to WORD .doc conversion with Acrobat Pro - any ideas?

I have been unable to solve the following issue when converting (save as...) PDF documents to Microsoft Word .doc using numerous methods. This could either be an issue that would be fixed in Acrobat Pro itself, or in MS Word - posting to the Adobe forums first.
PREFACE: I am attempting to use the converted .doc file with translation applications/software. Google Translator Toolkit is what I use the most, but ALL other translators are having this very same issue with the .doc file. --The source PDFs are product information from drug manufacturers in various countries that I need to have translated to English. I do not have access to their source documents, as they do not provide their own source docs for obvious reasons.
ALSO: I cannot use Google Translator toolkit to translate from PDFs directly - if you do that, it will attempt to translate a PDF and then export in an .html file, but it does not get the exact spacing of the sentences correctly, which leads to errors in translating - key things such as "can take with alcohol" and "do not take with alcohol". So that's out!
I am not having any problems with the resultant .doc file in MS Word itself. It looks right, the spacing matches the original PDF source perfectly, prints correctly, etc... Reference here on a product info sheet from Austria in German:
The problem: This is a screenshot from Google Translator Toolkit - the right side of the image - the spacing in the lettering from the .doc file I am uploading is not being read correctly, resulting in untranslated gibberish. (Note: this isn't a problem with the translation applications or software -- all are having this issue with .doc files converted from .pdf - this issue isn't present with any old .doc file that wasn't converted from a .pdf) -- It's definitely got something to do with some kind of embedded data in the .doc file that I cannot isolate!!)
My settings in Adobe Pro (convert from PDF to .doc):
Page layout: Flowing Text (this prevents the resultant .doc from having all of those text boxes, which also don't then work in translators)
Include comments: True
Include images: True
Run OCR if needed: True
Notes:
-I have run OCR text recognition on the source PDF files in it's specific language.
-I have edited the accessibilty of the PDF and have run the tag recognition and quick checks (to see if they solved the issue, which it did not - tagged or untagged, same problems!)
-I have exported the .doc BACK to PDF using MS Word's function, which results in a great looking tagged PDF. THEN I re-saved this new PDF back as a .doc - same issue.
-I have tried saving the PDF in all of the other formats that the translators accept. All have different issues. The only one that works consistently is saving to a .txt (plain)... The best is a .doc to .doc conversion, with all the original spacing. (I am not spending hours reformatting a .txt translation in word)...
I can't seem to find where this spacing data is in the .doc file!!!! (Changing the fonts, sizes, margins -- doesnt fix this either). I have tried so many methods...
Any thoughts on other things to try in Adobe Pro (or Word)?
EDIT: Here's an additional tidbit of info that may be the key to this... There's some kind of coding that is in the .doc that Adobe Pro converted from the source PDF that doesnt display in Word, but that is being seen by the translation programs....... I have no idea what these are, but I want to remove them!
Message was edited by: KaotikADC

I would suggest you look at the fonts that are being used. It may be a font issue that is not properly being read by the translation program.

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 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...

Process of Inventory count blocks one other plant

hi.,
If i understand correct, you can create PI documents at Plant(1) /Storage location ( S.Loc Say A) .level.
Until the Physical Inventory Count documents are posted, SAP will not allow any kind of movement of that material say X at that Plant(1) /Storage location level (S.loc A).
For the same Plant (1) ,if there are more than one storage location say B,C or D, the Physical Inventory count process would not affect the movement ,GR, GI of Material X in S.loc B, C or D. (Right ?)
Situation (1) :What is happening is, when PI documents are created for Plant (1), S.Loc (A) , Material (X) and the count is in process, the system is not allowing the GI, GR , movement of Material (X) containted in Storage location B, C or D. Message is Material is blocked by User (who has generated the PI document.)
Situation(2): Material (X) in different Plant (2) under the same company code are also denied any movement while the Count is in process in Plant (1).
I was wondering if anyone has come across this kind of scenario and the solution for the same.
All assistance is much appreciated.
Thanks

Hi Mahesh,
For your situation 1 question- the error message is due to the material is also processing by other person, not necessarily the person who created the PI doc, by the time your trying to use the Material (X) somebody is using also.
(Blocking of Movements like GR/GI is set separetely, if you try to use this material like GR, error message will promt like Material is blocked due to PI)
For situation 2- most likely you are able to do blocking of this material for posting when you created the PI docs. So, it also not allowed you to do GR or any kind of posting.
Hope this clear your doubt.
Regards,
Maia
