Inventory Management and WBS?

Hi there,
We want to show an inventory management report which contains WBS Hierarchy. It shall look like the following style:
Dimension　　　　　Fact Stock Value
FKSTL
->PROJECT
　->WBS
　　->MATNR　　　　xxx,xxx,xxx
I have activate two InfoCubes, 0IC_C03 and 0PS_C04. What can I do to show the report like that?
Thanks in advance

Hi
Have you uploaded the hierarchy for FKTSL and include this infoobject in your cube......you can execute the report to drilldown based on the hierarchy
Hope this helps
Cheers

Inventory management and physical inventory data transfer

hi all,
can anyone plz povide me with inventory management and physical inventory data transfer tutorial or link.

rgds

The information behind the blue-button for MI34, MI38 (as you mentioned) does not have enough detail. It's basically one-page. Is there another instructional source available? How is the logical file MMIM_PHYSICAL_INVENTORY_DOCUMENTS tied to the physical, can you clarify? Not sure how to determine where the sequential file being processed needs to be located. Thanks!

Difference between inventory management and warehouse management

can any body tell me the difference between inventory management and warehouse management i need atleast five differences

hi
1.
Processes in the area of Inventory Management address the recording and tracking of materials on a quantity and value basis. This includes planning, entry, and documentation of stock movements such as goods receipts, goods issues, physical stock transfers, and transfer postings as well as the performance of physical inventory (stocktaking).
Warehouse Management Processes cover warehouse-internal movements and storage of materials.
2.
SAP Warehouse Management allows you to manage your material flow, using advanced putaway and picking strategies. In the standard system, these strategies for putaway include random putaway (next empty bin), bulk storage, fixed bin, or addition to stock. The picking strategies include standard strategies first-in first-out (FIFO), last-in first-out (LIFO), picking by shelf life expiration date (SLED), or partial quantities first. For customer-specific strategies, solutions can be self-defined in user exits.
3.
While Inventory Management manages the stocks by quantity and value, the Warehouse Management component reflects the special structure of a warehouse, and monitors the allocation of the storage bins and any transfer transactions in the warehouse.

HU without inventory management and message L3778 in storage type 999

Hi experts,
Need suggestion on the process to add inventory of an HU with status 'HU without inventory Management'. This issue has occurred out of the below scenario:
1. our warehouse is HU & WM managed.
2. We have a transfer order for a delivery document requesting to pick up 100 cases of MAT1 which is assigned to HU1.
3. While confirming the transfer order user has confirmed difference for the full quantity of 100 because the SU/HU was not found in the bin.
4. The system has set the status of HU as 'HU without inventory Management'. The HU is empty.
5. system has moved the stock from the bin to difference storage type 999.
Now user has found the stock for this HU and he wants to post the stock back into the bin. system does not allow to move the stock back to bin using LT01 as we get error message 'L3 778'.
What will be the best practice to get the stock back into the bin and post the stock into the same old HU.
Is there a process wherein we can post this stock to another bin and repack into the old HU?
Thanks,
Harish

Thanks Manish on the hint. I was able to transfer stock to partner location and then bring back to original Storage type/Bin. Below steps was used to fixed the issue:
1. Initiate a transfer of stock from WM/HU Sloc where the IM stock resides into Sloc 9099. An outbound delivery is created during this process.
2. Create a transfer order with reference to delivery and pick the stock from 999 storage type.
3. Create a Pick HU using LH01 and assign the HU on the pallet to the transfer order.
4. Confirm the transfer order using LT12.
5. Perform PGI for the delivery.
6. Use HUMO to display the HU and then you can transfer the stock back to WM/HU location using the storage location transfer option available on the HUMO screen(EDIT à change HU posting à Storage location)
7. Perform Bin to bin transfer to move the SU from 921 storage type to putaway the HU/SU back to the destined Storage type/Bin.
Best Regards,
Harish

Q&A db for warehouse management and inventory management

Hello Everybody,
i read on the help.sap website that standard as well as industry specific versions of Q&A db are available. but the website doesnt say where. i searched a lot but the links dont lead to the actual Q&A db.
i would like to request you to kindly share the Q&A db for inventory management and warehouse management with me as i need it for preparing the AS IS documentation.(preferably automotive industry but if not then even standard Q&A db is fine).
thanks a lot.
sapman.

Now QADB will not help to map the clinets requirement. Instead of QADB get AS IS information form Coreusers... thats best practice now....
Go through www.sap-img.com for further details...

Urgent-Inventory Management in case of a glass or ply industry

A typical scenario.
I am facing a problem in inventory management for a client of mine who is into glass cutting and supply. The glass sheets are purchased in sheets from the vendor and is cut into various shapes and dimensions according to the order recieved by him. now in most of the cases the entire sheet is not used in a particular order. the remaining part which is not used goes to the inventory. Now for a next order all the remaining part may be used if it matches the lengthXBreadth specifications. So the inventory items should show the length X Width specification. The dimensions are not fixed and there may be "n" number of variables.
Example- A default sheets of sizes 10"X10" is purchased form vendor. Seperate shapes of 6"X4" and 4"X 4" is cut out from it. Then the remaining part will have a dimension of 6"X10", which goes to the inventory. Now whenever he will see te inventory report he should be able to see that 1qunty of 6"X10" is ther in the inventory. So that when if he recieves an order of 6"X8" or 6"X10" he can use that and save cutting a new sheet (10"X10"). This will minimise the wastages.
I had planed to do it by the area but then that does not solve the perpose as the inventory total will show the sum area of all the dimensions in the inventory in "sq@units". Makong item masters for different dimensions will involve a huge inventory management and the users may land up in making numerous masters evry day and also risk of the duplication of the same masters will prevail.
Please anyone who has done any implementation for such clients or of similar type or any one having a suitable solution to this issue........please help!!!

Debraj,
In that case the option you could try is to enable batches and store the size as a batch number
For example: The inventory could have 10 pieces of item A
Qty......Batch
..2.......6x10
..3.......6x8
..5.......6x6
Now when ever you want to add a cut piece of item A which is of size 6x10, you simply enter Batch 6x10 and this will not only increase stock by1 but also you now the visiblity of what the stock is made up of by running the Batch report.
If you want to do it in a much better way then you need to probably go with an AddOn

Inventory Management - BADI

Good day,
Currently the Inventory Management extractors(2LIS_03_BF, 2LIS_03_BX, 2LIS_03_UM) only extracts Local Currency. We would like to extract the values in Group Currency as well. Doing currency translations is not an option for several business reasons. We have to have the Group currency as it appears in the Material Ledger. I debugged the standard extractor for Inventory management and noticed that the extractor caters for a BAdI(Business Add In). Can anyone please give me an indication where I can look for this BAdI. I looked on SPRO on R/3 and there is a list of BAdI's under BW, but I don't know which one to use and how to use it. I would appreciate help in this regard.
Thank you.
Regards.

Otherwise you can go fot the new RSU5_SAPI_BADI...
Hope it helps!

Inventory Management (Advanced - Marker update)

I have been following your discussion regarding Inventory Management and the use of 2LIS_03_BX and 2LIS_03_BF extractors, and I have also been studying the How to guide on Inventory Management.
I am currently only using 2LIS_03_BF with no data restriction in the setup-run or in the initialization. The stock balance is correctly even though I am not using 2LIS_03_BX (because the sum of all historical movements equals the current balance).
But I am facing performance problems because I am not using compression. I am considering 2 solutions:
Solution A (the easy)
1. Compression on all request (with marker update)
Solution B (as suggested in the How-to-guide)
1. Delete InfoCube data
2. Generate new balance with 2LIS_03_BX
3. Compression of 2LIS_03_BX (with marker update)
4. Reconstruct old 2LIS_03_BF requests from PSA
5. Compression of old 2LIS_03_BF requests (No maker update - because all these will new be considered historical in relation with the newly generated stock balance).
6. Future deltaloads from 2LIS_03_BF and compression (with marker update).
As I see both solutions will solve the problem but A is by far the easiest. I would like your opinion!
When you do the marker update during compression does it matter wether you do it as described in the how-to-guide I can you do it as follows instead:
1. Compression of Historical Movements (2LIS_03_BF) (with marker update)
2. Compression of Stock balance (2LIS_03_BX) (No marker update)
3. Compression of Future Movements (2LIS_03_BF) (with marker update)
As I see the only important thing is that you do the marker update with eitherHistorical Movements (2LIS_03_BF) or Stock balance (2LIS_03_BX), but not both of them or none of them. I am not 100% sure but please give me your opinion.

Hello Thomas,
I have never tried doing the marker update other way around (through BF instead of BX), but I don't see any reason why it will not work. You are right that marker update should be done either with snapshot or material movement as both datasources bring same data at different granularity level. Solution A seems to be simpler and straightforward, but I am not sure if there will be any impact on performance if we update the marker intially with lot of requests from BF instead of a single BX request.

Unserialized for inventory management?

Hi,
why unserialized update for inventory management, why not direct update and delta queue.
regards
anitha.

Hi Anitha,
SAP Inventory Management system allows you to manage stocks on a quantity and value basis in order to plan, enter, check goods movements and carry out physical inventories.
Enables users to manage all the items purchased, manufactured, sold, or kept in stock. Services can also be defined as items, although they are relevant only for sales.
For each item, users enter the data relevant for a particular area in the system. This data is used automatically by the system for purchasing, sales, production, inventory management, and accounting.
Provides optimum support for business processes. Helps create orders, delivery notes, and outgoing invoices, automatically calculating prices, sales units, and gross profit. Enables complete control over stock quantities at all times and lets users analyze the financial aspects of stockholding at the same time. Allows users to control production on the basis of the items that are used for production and on the basis of the finished product and any by-products created.

Organization structure for Inventory management

Hi All,
I am looking for organization structure specific to inventory management and also data flow architecture.
If there is any standard org structure is available please share with me.
Regards
Vijay

I am looking for organization structure specific to inventory management and also data flow architecture.
> If there is any standard org structure is available please share with me.
Hi Vijay,
Standard Org Structure for IM starts with Plants and ends with Storage Locations. You can create required no of storage locations under your plants, where plants are assigned to company codes. Its always better to copy from master plant 1000/0001 while creating the plants where you can make changes during creation where required (factory calendar etc).
All the material movements within the plant happen between storage locations, material-material, special stocks-unrestricted stocks with no accounting effect.
Movements between the plants can be planned wrt your needs such as STO with no financial postings unless you have plant wise PCA
You can follow the standard avaiable structure for your IM org structure.

SAP Inventory Manager 4.0 installation problems

I am having problems when trying to install the new version of Inv Manager 4.0 on windows server 2008. The installation is performed by first installing and patching to latest release an SMP 3.0 server, followed by an installation of the SAP Inventory Manager 4.0.0 Deployment exe file. That installation runs without any errors but no app is visible on the SMP, no folders or shortcuts or other indications are visible that it was successful. Also very strange is that according to the installation guide there are some steps (1-6) which I cannot see, my install runs jumps directly from step 3 step nr. 7 (serial numbers, install type, keys are all missing or not requested by the installation for some reason). I have installed this on 4 different servers/PC´s where at least 2 of those were totally fresh systems that didn´t have any previous installation of either Agentry or SMP. The prerequisites are met (java, jco etc) but what puzzles me the most is that I don´t see any logs or error messages.
Help is much appreciated

Bjorn,
At very high level...
1) Install SMP Server with Latest support pack. you don't need to enter any server serial numbers details.
2) Logon to SMP Management cockpit.
3) create Agentry application for Inventory Manager and save it.
4) Once Agentry application is created under server->configuration folder you can see a folder created.
Server\configuration\com.sap.mobile.platform.server.agentry.application.
5) Execute SAPInventoryMgr400Deployment.exe by entering SAP back end connection details.
6) Once you complete step 5), you have IM 4.0 deployment application is created. at this point you can copy all the deployment folder contents to application folder created in step 4) or do publish from editor or follow step 5.
5) Select Agentry application ->go to App Specific settings tab ->Under publish option "upload your Inventory Manager deployment zip file" and save the changes.
6) Re-start the Server.
7) Test if your application is deployed correctly by entering URL in the browser https ://<hostname>:8081/<appname> . you should get response as 'I'm here".
8) if step 7) is not successful then troubleshoot Agentry app deployment ( turn on agentry logging and check for startup errors ).
check this thread for SMP 3.0 Server Installation troubleshooting.

SAP Inventory management interface with Third party Warehouse System

Hi Experts,
Need your input for designing the SAP solution with existing Third party warehouse system ( Exacta ):-
SAP ERP will be implemented for all locations of Client ( SAP MM, FI, PS , HR etc ).The Client has 10 distribution centres which are on Exacta Warehouse systems and will be linked with SAP Inventory management system.
The way it will work - Goods receipt will always happen in SAP for all locations and then interface needs to Trigger subsequent Putaway activities at Exacta Ware house ( third party warehouse system) for those 10 locations.
Goods Issue for these locations will happen from Exacta and then update will be posted in SAP via interface.
All locations will be created as Plant /Storage locations in SAP.
Need your inputs what special configurations need to happen in SAP for those locations so that goods receipt in SAP can trigger putaway activities in Exacta system .
Do we need to do configuration for decentralised Warehouse in SAP for handling this?
Pl. give your inputs based on your past experience where you handled such scenarios via interface with SAP Inventory management and legacy warehouse systems.
Thanks for quick response on this.
Regards,
Krish

This is a std business process where clients have used their existing warehousing systems but implemented SAP forother functions such as Order entry, inventory mgmt and procurement, financials.
The typical interface that needs to happen is
1. Sales order ( and or delivery)
2. Invetory needs to be passed to the WH. Typically people send it when SAP GR takes place.
3. When WH system does picking, it sends signal to SAP which then does PGI for the sales order delivery and that takes the stock out of the system.
Material master has to be transferred or mapped between two systems. Also, other elements need to be mapped between two systems.
The way I have seen this happening is :
you have an output on the SAP GR process. That creates an idoc to the WH system. Based on the capabilities of the WH system, it then does appropriate actions in the system.
Many times, middlewares are used to translate/ map the data between SAP and the WH systems.
So system wise, there is ALE setup that needs to take place for IDOC creations.
Configuration and coding is required for the output type and the program behind it. There are several std FUnction Modules that can be used for this.
Hope this helps.
