Reset & reverse document with open item managed and none open item managed

Dear forum,
I would like to confirm the below.
If i have a posted document where the double entry has open item managed account and none open item managed account and where the open item managed account is cleared, how can i reverse this document.
The problem now is FBRA cannot reset and reverse (as the document partly has none open item managed account) and FB08 also cannot reverse (as part of the account is open item managed account and it is cleared).
Besides manually reverse via FB01, any other method?
Thanks
Moderator: Please, avoid asking basic questions

Which document are you trying to clear using FBRA? You should reset the "clearing document" using FBRA; not the original document that has one open item and one non-open item. Once you reset the clearing document using FBRA, you should then be able to reverse the original document (the one that has one open item and one non-open item) using FB08.

Need negative quantity non-inventory items on Credit Memo

Version: (2007A)
Description of requirements: (Please provide a detailed description)
Our customer issues many invoices with a negative quantity line item for a miscellaneous non-inventory item. These non-inventory items are used to reduce the amount of the invoice regarding miscellaneous credits to their customers. These are not discounts.
When the customer wants to credit these invoices, they canu2019t create a Credit Memo based on the invoice because SAP wonu2019t allow this if there are line items with negative amounts.
When they create a credit memo not based on an invoice, they arenu2019t allowed to enter a negative quantity for a line item as they are for an Invoice. They are forced to create a credit memo not based on an invoice the inventory item line items and an invoice or Journal Entry for the negative quantity line item to debit back the miscellaneous line amount.
As an example:
Invoice line item one for inventory item: qty one, price 100,line total $100.00
Invoice line item two non-inventory item misc credit: quanity -1, price 10, total -$10.00
Invoice Total $90.00
In Order to provide the correct credit amount, they have to create a Credit Memo not based on an invoice for line item one, qty one, price 100 u2013 value -100 and an invoice for the non-inventory item for qty one, price 10 - value 10.00.
This creates a net credit for the customer of 90.00
This looks ridiculous to their customers when they see these transactions on their statements, creates extra work for the users and there is no link between the three documents.
By using inventory items for these miscellaneous credits, they can assign a sales revenue of their choice. They have multiple sales accounts and the GL posting is determined by the item group for the item. By assigning the desired item group to these non-inventory items, they can control which sales account is updated on their marketing documents when using these non-inventory items.
If they were to use the Freight items, they would need a separate freight setup entry for combination of item group and miscellaneous credit. Because they have so many Item Groups and types of credits, they would need a great many separate Freight Charges to choose from.
All of the above pertains to all of our customers. This customer has a custom add-on and their marketing documents are all created from custom objects. They hit a button on the custom sales contract screen and an invoice is created. When they hit another button on the screen, the selected invoice is credited. They have legally binding contracts for fixed quantities to be shipped, so we decrease the quantity shipped when creating an invoice and decrease the quantity shipped when a credit memo is created. The contract is fulfilled when the exact quantity contracted for has been shipped. Because the credit memo fails, we canu2019t update the custom objectu2019s remaining to be shipped, rendering it inaccurate from that time forward. (reducing the quantity shipped is part of the Credit Memo creation process).Creating Credit Memos and Invoices from the interface fixes the inventory count, customer balance, etc., but we have no way of fixing the sales contractu2019s quantity shipped & remaining to be shipped or linking the contracts to the documents created from the interface.
Business needs: (Please describe the impact on your business, if the functionality is not realized)
Examples: (Please describe a typical example, how the functionality should work.)
Credit Memos should allow negative quantities and line total amounts for non-inventory items, the same way that A/R Invoices do, so that credit memos can be based on invoices that have negative quantity non-inventory line items.
Current Workaround: (Please describe the workarounds you are using at the moment)
Please see above
Proposed solution: (Please suggest how the new functionality should work)
Credit Memos should allow negative quantities and line total amounts for non-inventory items, the same way that A/R Invoices do.

Hi Sean......
System is behaving properly as per its logic. Infact it does same in all the previous or upcoming versions.
If you have Item Type GRPO for Non Inventory Item it does not create any accounting but you can see the same during AP invoice.
GRPO for such type is only optional. For further clarification you can discuss this with your CA what he suggests. But i suggest you to raise AP invoice also for getting Account effect. Just see doing this in test DB you get your answer......

Purchasing - A/P Transaction Processing for Services and Non Inventory Item

On of the main areas of concern that businesses have is in the area of Purchasing, Goods Receipts and AP Invoices Processing - There is a requirement that businesses have widely referred to as 3-way matching.
While SAP Business One has this functionality covered quiet well via the following, there is still some need for enhancements so that the application can correctly reflect the AP Accruals:
- Purchase Order processing with Approval Process (if configured)
- Ability to perform Goods Receipts for Services.
- Matching of AP Invoices to Goods Receipts with AP Invoice Approval Process (if configured)
The above transactions serve the 3-way matching quiet well for all purchases however when it comes to accuring for Services that have been provided, the application does not do this. The Goods Receipt transaction processing to acknowledge the service delivery is allowed however the related posting to the allocation account is missing.
The process that is followed by the application is same for Items that have not Inventory Items in Item Master.
As a result of the above, the business have to manually work out what the Accurals for services provided but not invoiced should be.
With little enhancement to the product this shortfall could very easily be overcome.

Hi,
Once there are transactions, we cannot make existing Inventory type item to Non Inventory type item.
Check SAP note:937297 which states as follows :
Symptom
Changing the status of the Inventory Item checkbox (in Item Master Data) for items with inventory transactions and documents, might lead to inaccuracies in the calculations of inventory value.
Other terms
Inventory Item, Non-inventory Item, Item Master Data, Continuous Stock, Perpetual Inventory, Inventory Valuation, 2004, 2005, 2005 A SP01
Reason and Prerequisites
Consulting Note
Solution
The status of an item (Inventory Item/Non-Inventory item as selected in the Inventory Item checkbox in the Item Master Data window), cannot be changed once an A/P, A/R, or Inventory document is posted for the item.

LMS 4.0 Inventory Collection GBICs and serial nos.

Hi All,
I have larger numbers of WS-C3560X-24/24P/48 Cisco switches with1000BaseSX SFP GIBCs installed per switch in my network and they are all added to my DCR just fine. However, when i generate an inventory hadrware report GBICs and GBICs serial number is not showing up. Is there any special settings i need to make?
Let me know if you need additional information to help to identify the problem, i'll provide it.
Any help will be very much appreciated. Thank you in advance!
Rob

GBICs and SFPs and such will show up in a detailed device report.
If you create a custom report ("Reports, Report Designer, Syslog and Inventory, Create"), you can extract that information into a useful form for your purposes. You will want to use the report designer and pull out "port serial number" plus something like device name. I just did this myself and verified it will pull the SFP serial number from a device. They key fields are "Inventory Group: port" and "Attribute: port serial number"
Here is a screen shot from the report I created showing the serial number you are asking about:

How to identify Inventory and non inventory items

Dear all,
what are the ways to differentiate inventoried and non inventoried items.
please advise. thanks.
Thanks and regards
Udaya

he means the purchase order item category which can be seen in transaction ME23N.
You never made clear if you want differentiate in SAP or the physical stock in the warehouse.
As already explained by another one, in SAP you can procure one material number either to stock or to be expensed immediatly while receiving.
However, physically you dont see any difference, you have to take organizational measures to not store expensed material together with material procured to stock.
Even further, you should try to receive items which are not procured to be stored, at a different physical receiving place.
In MIGO transaction at item detail in tab WHERE you will see a storage location if the material is to be stored in your warehouse, but you will not see a location if the material is procured directly to a project or cost center. then you see a receipient instead .

Outbound Delivery Processing - mix of serialized and non-serialized product

Has anyone configured the outbound delivery processing scenario in AII to handle a mix of serialized and non-serialized products? How do you handle packing & loading transactions where you have a mix of serialized and non-serialized products in the same shipment?

Closed..

Shippment document ----- Item Serial No

hi experts
i have created one delivery order report and its almost completed. but only one thing remains that is itemize serial no. when we ship any item, we have to locate that particular item serial no. to less from inventory, that all we are doing in the right way, but i cant locate that shipped item serial no. in my customize report .. cna any body help me where i can find that shipped item serial no . and its relation to oe_order_lines_all with mtl_serial_no.
regards
anwer

Hi,
The item serial numbers that are shipped will be stored in mtl_unit_transactions (mut) table. You can join oe_order_lines_all (ool) to mtl_material_transactions (mmt) and can then join between mmt and mut to find the item serial number.
Hope this helps.

Serial Number Management, how to remove item serial numbering?

Hello,
I assigned serial numbers an item on the system, but i don't use serial numbering. now when i create a Goods Receipt PO for this item i have to assign serial numbers for it. can this be removed and how? the serial numbers are managed on every transaction.
Thanks

Hi,
If you dont want to use the serial number at all, you can always go the particular item and chane the "Manage Item By" to None provided you don't have any instock for that item If you have some stock, you have to make the in stock zero and then change this setting.
Else, you can use, On release only setting rather than On every transaction. Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Joseph

GR/IR Clearing for Non-Inventory Items in PO

Hi all,
Can anybody explain if GR/IR reconciliation can be done for non-inventory items in PO. For example, I've raised a PO for a service and received invoice before the service is delivered (little hypothetical, of course, but incase).
If so, will it show in the same MR11?
Thanks
durga.

Hi,
First of all , in case of Service ,Only SR/IR reconcilation can be done.....second ,if your service is not delivered then you can give advance against service PO.

Credit memo for non inventory item

Hi MM consulatnats,
My client need to know the best practices to handle teh credit memo for non inventory item ??
We have two options like FB65 in FI part where it wont update in PO history.
In MIRO also we can make credit memo w.r.to PO.
What they want to know is if FB65 is the correct way to do this to fully reverse the effect that the receipt and invoicing of the item had on the financial accounts.
What is the best pracise to adopt ??
Need your views
Thanks
A.Gururajan

Hi,
You can use MIRO for credit Memo with ref to PO.
This will update both PO history as well as your FI accounts/Vendor Balance.
Thanks & Regards,

How to correct journals for non inventory items

Hi All,
One of my client by mistake made a non-inventory item as an inventory item and used FIFO valuation.
Now he has created some 30 purchase invoices, goods receipt PO for it in the last month.
While doing month end they reconcillation they realized the inventory numbers are bloated and found this problem.
Now they have cancelled the old item defination and created a new one.
But the problem is how to correct the journal entries for the what has already been done.
Problem is that Cost of this item is wrong because it got created as a inventory item and was using FIFO.
Please suggest a fastest route to correct this problem.
Regards,
Divam

Hi Divam........
I guess Inventory revaluation is not possible in case of Non Inventory Item. You must take the goods return on GRN basis......

Changing Non-Inv to Inventory Item....in OPM

Hi
With One our US client, there is one item, which is set up as Non-inventory item in Item Master and saved. Later, infact there are no transaction done on this.
Now we want to change this item as INVENTORY item ( see the Navigation )
OPM Inv/set up/Item master, here query that item
When I change this Non-Inventory field from "Yes" to "No" and while saving this form, it is throwing an error " APP-GMI-83154: Item number not found"
My question is
a) Can I change this Item from Non-Inventory o Inventory (Assume even transaction taken place also )
Note:It is allowing me to save the form, only If, I change the Warehouse Item other than the existing. If I save like this, then the item is one and the warehouse item is another....will it affect the costing of the warehouse item, Since initially this item defined as Non Inventory item and now we have changed this to Inventory Item with different warehouse item.
Any help will be gr8ly appriciated.
Thanks
Raj

Hi Raj
You can only change an Item from Non-Inventory to Inventory when no transactions taken place.
Just try this
1. Change the Non-Inventory Flag to NO .
2. Change the Whse Item to some other Whse Item. Save.
3. Now Change the Non-Inventory Flag to YES. Save.
4. Then again change the Non-Inventory Flag to NO.
5. Now you can change the Whse Item to its initial Whse Item. Save it.
Best Regards
Prem.
