Inventory doubt

1.Any one explain abut the inventory management.I have document
how to handle the inventory management but i can not understand the words opening stock,closing stock,revalutaion
2.and what is the use of No marker update when u click
3.provide step by step process for 3 data sources
thanks

Hi,
1.Any one explain abut the inventory management.I have document
how to handle the inventory management but i can not understand the words opening stock,closing stock,revalutaion
Revaluation: This sends over a price change for your material. Say for instance you have 100 pencils valued at .10 each. If the cost goes up to .12 each, then you need your inventory to be revalued to $12 from $10. You cannot revalue in the BF extractor since there is no material quantity change, so SAP instituted the UM extractor to take care of the extra $2 from the cost change.
2.and what is the use of No marker update when u click
The marker is the point in time where you calculate quantities from. Say I do a marker update on Monday. On Weds, if I run a report, my quantites will add in all of the material movements to Monday's value. On Friday, running the report will add up all the material movements since Monday, to Monday's value.
Three years from now, if no one updated the marker and I run my report today, the system will add up all material quantities going back to that Monday 3 years ago.
In the short term, reporting will be quick, but over time, reporting will slow down. That's why you need to update the marker ... to move it closer to the data you are reporting on.
3.provide step by step process for 3 data sources
This is in the document you have. Read it a few times and practice it. I don't think anyone can explain it any better than that document.... it's pretty old and has been update or replaced and is still in use today!

Inventory doubts 1

Hello Friends,
Please help me understand some terms and concepts of inventory:
1. why / is it : always direct delta for inventory ?
2. Why Post Stock before filling setup tables?
Thanks in advance. Hope you could help.
extr-bw

HI the tcode to fill the inventory setup tables and purchasing is different.
inventory 03
purchasing is 02
you can load using the posting date for inventory.
what i have done is if i am getting data from table vbak
and if i want to load the data from 01.01.06 to 31.03.06
go to se15
give 01.01.06 in the fiels AEDAT.
Copy the the first document number
give 31.03.06
same way copy the last documeny number
and give them in
olixbw
and start
if you try to run the setup for years together it will take more 1 day sometime depending upon the system again
cut it to pieces and schedule as background
hope this helps
let me know if unclear

Inventory doubts

i.How can we fill data for the non cumulative key figures
0blockedstk and 0qmstock and other
can you provide complete information related to inventory

Hi,
Through routine these Non-cumulative key figures will fill.Mostly this routine will be on update rules.
In Non-cumulated Kf we have to use two info objets.one is for inflow like Receipt Quantity: Blocked ( 0RECBLOSTCK ),an other one for Issue quantity: blocked ( 0ISSBLOSTCK ). and aggregation should be exceptional aggregation( Last value ).
Non-Cumulatives
Use
A non-cumulative is a non-aggregating key figure on the level of one or more objects, which is always displayed in relation to time. Examples of non-cumulatives include headcount, account balance and material inventory.
How you model the folder for non-cumulatives in the BI system depends on your scenario. According to how often non-cumulatives change and the total number of objects for which you want to calculate non-cumulatives, you should choose one of the following two options:
Non-Cumulative Management with Non-Cumulative Key Figures:
If the non-cumulatives change infrequently, you should choose non-cumulative management with non-cumulative key figures.
If you use non-cumulative key figures, an absolute non-cumulative value (the marker) and all non-cumulative value changes are saved in the fact table of the InfoCube. In this way, the retention and volume of data in the data loading process is optimized. A data record is then only loaded to the InfoCube if a non-cumulative changes because of a transaction. Non-cumulatives can then be evaluated at any time in queries, using non-cumulative key figures.

Reg : Doubts in Inventory

Dear SDN friends
I started to work with inventory.
I Installed the 0IC_C03 (Material Stocks/Movements) with collection option " data flow before and after".
I replicated the data source 2LIS_03_BX for loading Stock Initialialization to the 0IC_C03.
I had the following doubts
1) The respecive Info Objects for fields in 2LIS_03_BX is not available in the Cube.
(Nearly only five fields are available)
2) What are all Inobjects available in Cube is not available in data source 2LIS_03_BX
(Nearly only five fields are available)
Quick response highly appriciated. Points will be awarded for clearing my doubt.
(The above same with 2LIS_03_BF also)
Thanks & Regards
Saravanan.r

Hi Suchi
Thanks for your such a grateful immediate response.
At the time of Installation of Cube, i did not checked.
But now i could able to see, those missed objects in BW and were in active status.
Anyway i didnot installed those obejcts separately.
After completion of installation, the following info objects are avaialble in the cube
0PLANT
0STOR_LOC
0MATERIAL
0BATCH
0STOCKTYPE
0STOCKCAT
0GN_VENDOR
0VALSTCKVAL
0ISSVS_VAL
0ISSBLOSTCK
0ISSCNSSTCK
0ISSQMSTCK
0ISSTRANSST
0RECBLOSTCK
0RECCNSSTCK
0RECQMSTCK
0RECTRANSST
0QMSTOCK
0BLOCKEDSTK
0CNSSTCKQTY
0TRANSSTOCK
0ISSSCRP
0ISSVALSCRP
0RECTOTSTCK
0ISSTOTSTCK
0TOTALSTCK
0ISSVALSTCK
0RECVALSTCK
0VALSTCKQTY
0VENCONCON
When compares with 2LIS_03_BX, lot of info objects are missed out.
Just for trial purpose, i copied the 0IC_C03 and addded those missed objects in separate cube, i extracted the data.
Just, I want ensure why it happened...

Inventory Management differences between 3.5 and 7 versions doubt

Hi
We plan to upgrade BW system from version 3.5 to version 7 next year.
And we plan to initiate Inventory Management in BW (Cube 0IC_C03).
It is good idea to start Inventory Management before upgrade?
OR the better idea is wait befor upgrade?
THX for your opinion.
Adam

look at the current content if that meets the requirement then why to wait till upgrade. During upgarde it is your call whether to move objects to BW7 (content) and data flow. Even if you want to move to BW7 data flow, you could easily migrate.
Why should you wait for those many months if currents objects meet your reporting needs.
Also, I am not sure whether SAP has made any changes to Inventory content so that you could get anything better with new content post upgrade.

Inventory Mgmt doubt

Hi experts,
For Inventory management, do we have to do the stock initialisation ( using 2LIS_03_BX) in all the scenarios?
What i mean to ask here is, Assuming i have a scenario where R/3 and BI happens to go-live the same time....is it necessary for me to use the datasource 2LIS_03_BX or can i just use the Datasources for Material movement and Revaluation and proceed with the flow?
Please clarify.
Thanks.

week back I'm in the same position, after that I found solution.
We have can in TWO ways:
1. If your business people are not uploaded any stok in ECC and you executed 2LIS_03_BX filling setup tables using MCNB, if will cancell, you can see that in SM37.
2. So in this case you don't required to load 2LIS_03_BX DS data to BW
3. Directly Start 2LIS_03_BF,2LIS_03_UM i.e. fill setup tables parallelly and then Load into BW, if there is no stock then you will get ZERO records in BW.
4. After that go for delta loads.
Else
After Initial stock uploads in ECC then you take ECC Down time and follow the sequence
i.e. 2LIS_03_BX
2LIS_03_BF
2LIS_03_UM
For detailed steps you can see.
See the steps.
Treatment of historical full loads with Inventory cube
Setting up material movement/inventory with limit locking time
If it is BI 7 then for BX in in DTP in Extraction Tab you need to select Extacrion mode = NON-Cumulative option.

Oracle Inventory: How to change default category set of items

Hi,
We have a requirement where we need to change the default category set of functional area inventory in oracle as we are importing new items into inventory whihc need to be assigned to a new default category set.There is an existing default categpory set for this area.
As far as i understand once a default category has been set up and an item has been defined, the only way to change the default category set for a given functional area is to update all items with the new default category set before updating the default category set/functional area relationship.
How exactly do we update the defaul category set for an existing item and change it to a new one. Since we have close to 15K items what is the best way to do this.Is there ay API available?
Thanks in Advance
AM

Hi Helios,
Thanks a lot for your response
The fix given in this document is to allign all the exisitng items to a category set (purchasing in this case). This is exactly what my doubt is. How to assign 15k items to a different category set. If i am able to allign these items i can change the default category of the functional area.

PS: i am using 11.5.10.2

Backdated Inventory

Hi Experts,
Today, Can we see the last month inventory in BI as well as in R/3? If it is could you please
explain in detail?
As per my knowledge by using Transaction MB5B we can see the stock on posting date in R/3. For the same selections we can
see the inventory in BI report?
In the same way can we see the back dated inventory in R/3 as well as in BI by giving proper selections?
Please clarify my doubt in detail.I will appreciate by giving points.

Hi,
>>>when in SLD .... you have buttons for creation of "new product" and "new software version component" ..... when SLD is set to show all the products/Software version components automatically by SAP.... what is the need of these two buttons?
SLD shows all the products and SWCV of SAP. The button you have specified allow us to create our own software component versions and products.
One of the reasons as to why we create software component versions,is for modularity.
Moreover, each of the namespaces under a SWCV has some commonality.
>>>when my XI server is connected to R/3 systems i am not able to see this product (R/3 system) in SLD .... but i am able to import the IDOC/RFC to XI server.... why is that happening?
You will find an entry for R/3 in the technical system list.
>>>Well! it also said by one of our gurus that R/3 systems should be defined in SLD of XI to be seen in SLD of XI... as your basis guy is quite busy to answer ... can some one me help to answer my curiousity?
Yes! If this is not done, how will xi know where the R/3 system is? You will have to tell xi, that r/3 is at this IP right? This is what you do in SLD.

Valuated stock problem in inventory.

Hi all BI gurus ,
Iam working on Inventory module , I have loaded the data for it .
      1. For 2lis_03_bx i.e initial stock we have data from 1999 to 2006 on R/3 side .
      2. And we are loading the data from 2005 to 2006 for BW .
But The valuated stock report is not matching with the R/3 data (MB5..) .
      Also for 2lis_03_bf
      1. We have data from 1999 to 2006 on R/3 and when Iam loading from 1999
      to 2006 datas are not matching .
I have followed all necessary steps i.e.
       First 2lis_03_bx with marker update and then 2lis_03_bf and um with no marker update .
Can anybody please tell me where Iam wrong . I don't know much of the functionality of inventory .
Thanks.

Hi Akash,
On which day have you done your initialisation of 2lis_03_bx . this will bring in your opening balance to BW. and then the movement data for historical stock movements can be brought into BW using BF. Or you can do vice a versa as wel.
But check is in RSA3 for validity. If your historical data is not matching as you have mentioned then just check wherther that has been archived in R/3 (since the range you have given is 1999-2006, i doubt whether you will have all data for this period on your R/3 database )
if it is archived then you will have to etract it from your archive files
Do assign points if it helps

Wrushali

Movement Type in Inventory Management Cube

Hello Guys,
I am new to the area of Invenotry Management. I have seen the How to Guide and blogs by Surendra for Inventory Management scenarios.
One of initial doubt is that the cube 0IC_C03 does not have Movement Type. As per the blog, we can define transaction keys in BW but how do I pull it in my Cube. Is ehnacing the extract strcuture BF the only option? If yes, what logic do we follow to add movement type to BF?
Also as per SAP Note, we cannot enhance BX to include movement type. So would it create a problem if BX does not have a movement type and BF has?
Looking forward to solutions
Thanks n Regards,
Abhishek

Dear John
The movement type has important control functions in Inventory Management.
For example, the movement type plays an important role in
=> updating of quantity fields
=> updating of stock and consumption accounts
=> determining which fields are displayed during entry of a document in the system
thanks
