Inventory...In Stock question

Is it possible to have it say "In Stock", instead of a number under inventory control?
For example I have a product that is made to order and I want it to say In Stock instead of putting how many I have already made.
Thanks.

It's not possible of the box, but I guess you could use javascript or CSS to change the number into "In Stock" text.
It'd be a simple if statement that checks if in stock == 0 and if not place the text "in stock" onto the layout. Otherwise place "out of stock" inside the layout.

Inventory Tracking / Stock Posting cannot change batch quantity

When stock taking, Item A in the system consist of :
- Batch B-01 = 10 pcs
- Batch B-02 = 10 pcs.
Actual stock has:
- Batch B-01 = 20 pcs.
Anybody knows how to fix this batch quantity, through Inventory Tracking / Stock Posting ?
Since I try it, it couldn't work.
Best regards,

ActionScript for stock question types?

I need to create a question widget and would rather not reinvent the wheel.
Is there any way to access the Action Script for the hotspot or multiple choice questions that come standard in Captivate.
I think I only need slight modificationa to one of those do do what I want.
Thanks

The AS scripts for the stock question types can be found here: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Captivate 4\ActionScript\MMQuizzingV3\MMQuizClasses (or the directory where you installed Captivate).
However the code is not in a "widget" form so you would still need to do quite a lot of work to get this into a widget.

Inventory Cube Loading - Questions....

This is the process I intend to follow to load InfoCube 0IC_C03 and the questions therein. I have the "how to handle inventory scenarios" document, so please don't suggest I read that.
1A) Delete Set-up tables for application 03
1B) Lock Users
1C) Flush LBWQ and delete entries in RSA7 related to application 03 (optional - only if needed)
2A) Fill set up tables for 2LIS_03_BX. Do Full load into BW Inventory Cube with "generate initial status" in InfoPackage.
2B) Compress request with a marker update
3A) Fill set up table for 2LIS_03_BF with posting date 01/01/2006 to 12/31/2007 (Historical) and load to Inventory Cube with a full update
      QUESTION1: Does this need a marker update?
      QUESTION2: Is this a good strategy - do movement documents that old get updated once posted?
      QUESTION3: Does the posting dates restriction depend on on how far back in history we want to go and look at stock values?
3B) Fill set up table for 2LIS_03_BF with posting date 01/01/2008 to 9/9/999 (Current) and load to Inventory Cube with a delta init with data transfer.
3C) Compress load in 3B without a marker update
4A) Fill set up table for 2LIS_03_UM and load to Inventory Cube with a delta init
4B) Compress load in 4A without a marker update
      QUESTION4: How should we select the posting date criteria? Do I need to load from 01/01/2006 to 9/9/9999 since that's the range used for BF?
5) Start V3 update jobs via Job Control
6) Intiate subsequent delta loads from BF and UM and compress with marker update
QUESTION 5: Is the sequence of loading BX first, then BF and UM fixed? or can I do BF and then BX, UM
QUESTION 6: Any tips on minimizing downtime in this particular scenario? Please don't suggest generic steps. If you can suggest something specific to this situation, that'd be great.
I hope you can help with the 6 questions I asked above.
Regards,
Anita S.

Hi Anita,
Please find my answers below. I have worked enough with this scenario and hence feel that these would be worth considering for your scenario.
3A) Fill set up table for 2LIS_03_BF with posting date 01/01/2006 to 12/31/2007 (Historical) and load to Inventory Cube with a full update
QUESTION1: Does this need a marker update?
In this step we dont need marker update while compressing.
QUESTION2: Is this a good strategy - do movement documents that old get updated once posted?
I am able to get the question quite clearly.
QUESTION3: Does the posting dates restriction depend on on how far back in history we want to go and look at stock values?
Yes. We need to start from latest and then go back as backwards as we want to see the stock values. This holds true when we are using non cumulative key figures
4B) Compress load in 4A without a marker update
QUESTION4: How should we select the posting date criteria? Do I need to load from 01/01/2006 to 9/9/9999 since that's the range used for BF?
No need to provide any selection criteria for UM while loading to BW, as this would fetch the same data filled in setup of revaluations.Unless you are looking for only some history other wise you can fill that for company code list and bring the whole data to BW by a single full load, as the data wont be that huge as compared to BF
6) Intiate subsequent delta loads from BF and UM and compress with marker update
QUESTION 5: Is the sequence of loading BX first, then BF and UM fixed? or can I do BF and then BX, UM
This is fixed in terms of compression with marker updates.
QUESTION 6: Any tips on minimizing downtime in this particular scenario? Please don't suggest generic steps. If you can suggest something specific to this situation, that'd be great.
*Yes. Most of time consuming activity is for filling BF history. Negligable for BX and UM comparitively.
Either try having multiple BF selective setup filling based on posting date based on available background processes or filli open months setup during downtime and rest history once you unlock the system for postings. The reason for this being we dont expect any posting for history*
Feel free to ask any further questions about this.

Inventory posting - stock in transit G/L account

Hello!
We have a unique requirement that we need to post the stock in transit inventory only if the delivery is for one particular customer (sold to party). It is our own company but not on SAP hence, on the books, an inter company transaction. All that is different in this case is the account assignment group of the customer which basically is no help in configuring OMWB (G/L account determination for inventory postings).
The material/plants/movement types are all the same for all transactions, thereby providing us with no 'uniqueness' in this particular transaction to post these stock in transit inventories to a different G/L. I could possibly look at having another movement type if that can help but then again, how will that be valid only for a particular transaction with this customer, I am not sure...
Can anybody provide me with a step by step instructions on how can this be achieved, if it indeed can be? Appreciate any help or posting here if anyone wants any more clarifications on the issue...
Many thanks!

Hi,
As you might already know that the G/L determination happen based on Movt type and the valuation class. in your case as the movt type and the val class are same, you willl not be able to customize to post it to different account
so for this you do 2 ways:
1: you create a new delyvery type and a new movement type so that you can configure the account determination (OMWB).
2. you can influence the account determination by writing a code in the user exit ZXMBCU02 here you can force the system to post it into the different G/L account.
Hope this helps,
Vikrama

Error While Doing Physical Inventory (Customer Stock)

While doing the Physical Inventory for the Customer Stock, the following error is coming:

System response You cannot post this transaction, unless you have changed the field selection adequately
Pls. help in solving the problem.
Regards,

Hi,
before you go any further you should first check with your finance team that the correct GL account is being proposed. the reason that the fields don't match may be caused by the fact that the wrong GL has been set up in the auto tables (Trans event Key GBB, account modifier INV and whatever valuation area and valuation class is relevant).
If the GL account is found to be the correct one then you need to get someone from the FI team to change the field settings on that account to enable the correct data to be linked to it.
None of this is the domain of an MM consultant apart fron the auto account tables and so please do involve your FI team before you do too much.

Inventory Valuated Stock Value is not matching with R/3

Dear Friends,
we are in a big mess.Needed your help urgently
We are in sap netweaver 2004s.We are implementing the standard business content only for one of our client.We have loaded the Inventory data into BW by following "How to handle the Inventory Management" document.
We have loaded the inventory data into 0IC_C03 using standard transferrules and update rules.
The sequence we followed as:
IN R/3
Filled the setup tables for during the posting free time(non-business hours)
Stock intialization
Material Movements
Evaluations
IN BW
We had loaded the data into only 0IC_C03 cube using standard update rules(no changes done)
2LIS_03_BX-Generate intial stock with no marker update unchecked
2LIS_03_BF-Full update with no marker update checked
2LIS_03_UM-Full update with no marker update checked
When we compared the data between R/3 and BW they are many materials "Valuated Stock Value" is not matching with R/3.For some materials value is matching with R/3 but for some other materials its not matching with R/3.Some materials are showing the negative figures for Valuated Stock Value.
But the valuated quantity value is exactly matching with R/3 for all the materials.
We have tryed to many ways in the past 10 days to find out the solution.We have followd the notes 589024 and implemented the formula.But no luck so far.
Needed your help..Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.
Please help us with your inputs.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Soujanya

Hi Sudheer,
No We haven't implemented this note.
In start routine we already have the first start routine in the note.
INSERT BEGIN
loop at DATA_PACKAGE.
    if DATA_PACKAGE-stockcat eq 'V' or
       DATA_PACKAGE-stocktype eq 'V'.
      delete DATA_PACKAGE.
    endif.
endloop.
if abort is not equal zero, the update process will be canceled
ABORT = 0.
INSERT END
We should comment the above start routine and follow the remaining section as below?
==========================================================
Notes:
However, if you want a report of these consumption values, proceed as follows:
1. Do not use the start routine listed above.
2. Create two new key figures (cumulative values):
   1. Material consumption value (ZVERWERT, for example) with unit 0BASE_UOM
   2. Material consumption quantity (ZVERMENGE, for example) with unit 0LOC_CURRCY
3. Include these in the InfoCube definition.
4. Update these key figures from 2LIS_03_BF as follows:
-> material consumption value:
IF ( COMM_STRUCTURE-processkey EQ '100'   "Other Issues
    OR COMM_STRUCTURE-processkey EQ '101'   "Returns / Vendor
    OR COMM_STRUCTURE-processkey EQ '104'   "Material Transfer
    OR COMM_STRUCTURE-processkey EQ '105'   "Stock Adjustment InvD
    OR COMM_STRUCTURE-processkey EQ '106'   "Stock Adjustment Other
    OR COMM_STRUCTURE-processkey EQ '110' ) "Issues from Stock
                                            "Transfers
   AND COMM_STRUCTURE-bwapplnm EQ 'MM'
only movements which are relevant for stock control
   AND COMM_STRUCTURE-cppvlc <> 0
   AND COMM_STRUCTURE-stockcat EQ 'V'
   AND COMM_STRUCUTRE-stocktype EQ 'V'.
result value of the routine
    RESULT = -1 * COMM_STRUCTURE-cppvlc.
if the returncode is zero, the result will be updated
    RETURNCODE = 0.
ELSEIF ( COMM_STRUCTURE-processkey EQ '000'   "Other Receipts
    OR COMM_STRUCTURE-processkey EQ '001'   "Goods Receipt/Vendor
    OR COMM_STRUCTURE-processkey EQ '004'   "Material Transfer/"Receipt
    OR COMM_STRUCTURE-processkey EQ '005'   "Stock Adjustment InvD
    OR COMM_STRUCTURE-processkey EQ '006'   "Stock Adjustment Other
    OR COMM_STRUCTURE-processkey EQ '010' ) "Receipt from Stock
                                            "Transfer
only movements which are relevant for stock control
   AND COMM_STRUCTURE-cppvlc <> 0
   AND COMM_STRUCTURE-stockcat EQ 'V'
   AND COMM_STRUCUTRE-stocktype EQ 'V'.
result value of the routine
    RESULT = COMM_STRUCTURE-cppvlc.
if the returncode is zero, the result will be updated
    RETURNCODE = 0.
ELSE.
if the returncode is not equal zero, the result will not be updated
    RETURNCODE = 4.
ENDIF.
if abort is not equal zero, the update process will be canceled
ABORT = 0..
-> material consumption quantity:
The code is the same, but COMM_STRUCTURE-cpquabu replaces COMM_STRUCTURE-cppvlc.
-> The characteristic value calculation is the same for the other key figures.
5. Update these key figures from the 2LIS_03_UM in the same way.
=======================================================

Inventory Management: Stock reservation

Hi Experts,
Your expertise in MM is greatly appreciated.
Scenario: Stock reservation
We have to reserve a portion of inventory for CRM opportunities that might turn into sales orders. If we have 200EA in Unrestricted, 80EA is supposed to be reserved for CRM opportunities and other sales orders cannot use these stock. If the CRM opportunities do not turn into sales orders by the 15th of the month, we release the 80EA on 15th so they can be allocated to other sales orders.
These 80EA might be physically created already or they can be just for information telling the sales team that we have 80 EA being created. The main idea is that they are reserved for CRM opportunities only and they should not be allocated to other sales order during SO creation, rescheduling, backorder process before the 15th of the month.
Is there a way that we can do this in SAP? We only have MM and SD implemented in this phase. I looked at options, but please feel free to correct them if them seem to not be possible for this scenario.
Created a Reservation document with movement type 522 for the 80EA. This decreased the total Unrestricted (200-80= 120). During SO creation, the 80EA reserved is not getting allocated in the orders. However, when I run rescheduling, the 80EA are getting allocated for SO with delivery dates before the 15th of the month. The aim is to have them ‘reserved’ until the 15th of the month.
I created a transfer posting (MIGO) from Unrestricted to Blocked using movement type 344. The 80EA were turned into blocked stock in MMBE and this decreased the total unrestricted. The blocked stock were not allocated in the SO, rescheduling, and backorder processing. To release the stock back to unrestricted by the 15th, I use movement type 343 in MB1B. Would there be a way to automatically create the transfer posting every time we have to reserve inventory for CRM and also automatically release them back to unrestricted every 15th of the month?
Thank you!

you could write an ABAP that calls the BAPI BAPI_GOODSMOVEMENT_CREATE
and could schedule this ABAP to run on the 15th

Inventory Cube Stock Quantity/Value Issue

Hi Experts,
I have an issue regarding inventory cube about the stock value and quantity.
The Issue is:
1. I Loaded the 2LIS_03_BX first to initialise the materials opening balance, after compressed ther request with the Marker (checked) .
2. I loaded the 2LIS_03_BF with Initialize without data transfer infopackage and compressed in the cube
3. And I did full load 2LIS_03_BF and compressed with check box selected for marker update.
The issue I have is, when the stock quantity/value of a material ( BX , for example is taken on Dec.2011) is calculated(non cumulative key figure ex.0VALSTCKVAL/0VALSTCKQTY in the inventory cube) backwards based on Issues and received stock/value of material , I am not getting the value/stock equal to the value when the business started ( i.e for example Dec.2009, time at which the material opening stock is counted and entered in the system).
example: When I loaded BX ( intialize opening stock), let us suppose for Material A , have 1000kg in Dec 2011. When the non cumulative key figure (0VALSTCKQTY/0VALSTCKVAL) is calicualted for each month or day , at the end of the period for example Dec.2009 the stock should be 100, but I am getting more than 100 like 150 for example, even though all the issued,received and 0valstckval/0valstckqty are correct upto Dec.2009.
am i missing any steps or please let me your thoughts on this one.
Regards
Vamsi

Hi,
Please follow the steps mentioned in this link.I think 2LIS_03_BX full load should not be compressed with marker update only deltas to be updated in marker table of BF and UM.

Inventory Management - Stock Ageing

Hello,
I'm new to Inventory Management in BI and I was trying to create a Cube to check the stock ageing.
I follow the needed initialization for the 2LIS_03_BF, 2LIS_03_BX and also UM. The load was successful executed however I can't see any data using the ListCube.
I looked into the fact table and the data is there but I can't see it and I don't have it available for reporting.
Can you help me?
thanks

Maintain Inventory Current Stock

How to maintain inventory for multiuser system using same inventory data. eg. i have 5000 quantity of goods for sale.
one user loged in and saw available quantity is 5000. now he prepare an invoice of 3500 quantity. During this transaction another user loged in and find available quantity
is 5000 and he create an invoice of 3000 quantity when the invoice process is complete stock is not available. how to maintain same situation for so many types of product and
in an invoice. for each type of product have same type of problem.

Is it possible to have two fields in the front end where you show TotalQuantity|AvailableQuantity??
The moment an user starts to prp an invoice for a quantity say 3500, then available quantity reduces to 1500. This is achieved by having another column in the table which is to be updated accordingly depending upon the user's choice. (So any other user
who wants to prp an invoice would jus see an available quantity of 1500 oly)
When the user has submitted the request, and its processed successfully then the available quantity stays the same. If not, in case the user aborts the transaction or stays for a long period of time than normal conditions greater than the permissible transaction
time (have a max transaction time like say, 5 mins) , have a functionality to push back the reserved quantity of 3500 into the system, making available as 5000. (again this is achieved using the update queries)
Since you will be using update queries, sql server shall take care of isolations. If you'd wanna customise that as well try changing the isolation levels as applicable (which is not recommendable to be playued upon)..
Example: Try thinking of the system like a movie ticket reservation system - wherein even if you
havent really booked the tickets for a particular seat (but just in the process of booking), another user say myself, would view the seat to be booked. Just thought of mentioning this as an example to help you correlate :)
Jus gave my view.. If there are any other better system do lemme know :)

DVD Stock question

Just curious as to what brands of DVD stock(single layer) seem to work best for everyone.
I've done small personal projects here and there and haven't had many issues with stock(usually just buying the cheap stuff), but I have a project which requires reliability because I won't be able to watch every single DVD like I have in the past.
Would like to hear the Pro's and Con's of particular brands.
Thanks,
Brent

I questionned a manufactue on this and they stated that you will run into less problems using disc's made in Japan than anywhere else, Im sure that the quality of the burner weighs in.
I ran into problems with Verbatems and now we use Maxell and have not had any major problems

Inventory Organization Security question

Hi SME's,
Need to implement below functionalities in EBS R12. Please provide your inputs whether it can be implemented using standard oracle feature or we need to do any personalization/customization to achieve this.
1. If user creates a new item code, he can assign the item to specific
organizations to which he is assigned. Currently if i create a item code
and try to assign it, i am able to see all the organization, whereas i
need to restrict the organizations to which
i can assign the item code.
Whether above can be achieved without any personalization/customization, if so please advice.
2. While PR user should be able to access items only from organizations
to which he is assigned. This i believe we can achieve
using org access control at resp level. Navigation is Inventory -->
Setup --> Organization --> Organization access. Please confirm whether understanding is correct, if not provide your thoughts on implementing.
Thanks and Regards,

Whether second one can be achieved by org security access. Consider the below example and please let me know whether this can be implemented.
1 Create a User --> Clerk
2. Assign below responsbility to Clerk User
---> ABC Purchasing user
3. Map below inventory organization to the responsbility,
ABC Purchasing user
--> ABC Raw materials Inv Org
--> ABC Finished goods Inv Org
So based on above setup, if user Clerk uses responsiblity ABC Purchasing user. Whether he will be able to create PR only for items in Organiztions above. Please confirm
Thanks,

Inventory Average Costing Question

Hi,
I'm convering onhand quantity from legacy inventory system to Oracle Inventory and we use Average Costing.. Here are the steps.
1. Converting the items via item import.
2. Convering onhand quantity with Misc receipts using transactions interface
3. updating the Average cost of these items via transactions interface .
When i convert the onhand quantity there is no cost for these items and all the mtl_trasnaction_accounts transactions were created with 0$.. With the average cost update, mtl_trasnaction_accounts transactions were created with $ amount..
What is the best sequence for reconcilation point iof view with the inventory and GL???
Please suggest..
Thanks,
Shree

Hi, in my experience the steps you indicates are correct. Anyway, you can avoid step 3 if you put the unit cost directly in the transaction open interface. This is correct only if your costs are not divided in more than one element (eg. you have only the material cost element). If you do in this way, you will see your miscellaneous transactions will have costs and related records on MTL_TRANSACTION_ACCOUNTS will be created with a positive amount.
As you will know, also when you perform a miscellaneous transactions by using the form, you have the possibility to inidcate the unit cost. Normally you do this if your actual average cost is not correct for your transaction, or if the average cost is 0.
If you follow this indications, you should not have problem at the moment of the reconciliation with GL.
