Inventory Management for virtual products

Hi,
Can you please let us know how the virtual products like mobile recharge coupons, lottery coupons are managed in IS-Retail? There is no physical inventory involved in this case but we have the purchase cost, commission and other components involved. But they need to be maintained in IS-Retail system. Please advise.

My System: Win8 64
Any ideas, why i can't login to adobe with my accountdata? With the same data i can login to creative cloud webpage.
Here my pdapp.log

No. I tried the "activation-network-i ssues" before 2 times.
0. Patch installed
1. I have/had internet connection
2. I can call https pages
3. drivers/etc/Hosts was/are clean.
4. Current User > Trusted Root Certificate Authorities > Certificates is installed/enabled and the correct fields are checked
5. Firewall was/is turned complety off.
I cannot uninstall AAM. Because i can't find it in "Deinstallation Tool" of Win8. It is not listes. There is only Adobe Flash Player listed.
I removed AAM via adobe cleaner tool. And installed it again. And this helped not too.
Any ideas how i can solve the problem?

Inventory Management (production company) - how do you do it?

Hi Experts
We need a tool (report) which can help controlling the inventory (for a production company) and thereby support the persons who order materials etc. so that they know what materials to order and how much to order etc. The tool should be able to give ex recommendation on which materials to order based on the avg. movements in the stock and current demand.
The goal is to support the people who orders materials to have more acurate stock levels and thereby avoid running out a stock and having to much stock.
In that relation I have two questions:
1. Do you know any business content report/flow which can be activated for a purpose like this?
2. Have you got any experience in inventory management for production companies? In case you have please let me know about the solution you implemented/know about.
Thanks a lot and kind regards,
Torben

Pedersen,
1. Do you know any business content report/flow which can be activated for a purpose like this?
--> Yes, Standard business content available for Inventory management for reporting purpose.
[BI Content - Inventory Management |http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/06/8c6cfe0e67fd43a6cd3603d246ced7/frameset.htm]
2. Have you got any experience in inventory management for production companies? In case you have please let me know about the solution you implemented/know about.
--> Based on above content we can check stock levels, moments(receipts & issues) and also slow moving.
--> But these content purely for repoting purpose only. How you want to build data on top of this...? and how you want to pass same information to raise an order...?

Inventory Management, Sales company of 20 people.

I want a program for inventory management for a company with 20 reps using ipads, all of the reps have ipads. We want to be able to monitor the reps inventory so that we can actively track the movement. Very important, this is not to track the sales of inventory, the actual distribution of inventory is done from the headquarters, and the inventory the reps have is for samples or distribution of inventory in the event that the product is needed immediately.
Basically we have a warehouse that monitors the inventory, but there are instances where a rep will give another rep a product to bring to the warehouse. And it becomes damaged or doesn't make it back, and then we have a hesaid/shesaid situation. So to avoid this I would like an application on the IPAD where we can actively tracky inventory.
If possible I'd like to be able to attach pictures, or scan the bar codes for every transaction as evidence of the transfer.
Now i don't know if this is beyond the capability of any apps available for the ipad, but to me it sounds as though this need is most likely very common for sales companies of any size.
I appreciate all of the help.

I'm still looking for a good answer. Most of the products I've come across have been more sales based and aimed at tracking sales. They seem more focused on revenues and such.
Even if someone knows a website that is accessible from an Ipad that would be great. I see 110 people have looked at this and not one response, so i'm starting to wonder if anyone knows the answer. I'm willing to register and pay an annual fee for all of the accounts we would have signed up.
Once again, thanks.

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

How to impliment inventory Management in BI using BX/BF/UM

Experts !
i have to impliment Inventory management Data flow. i was reading SAP documentation on it, but i fount it bit confusing.
Could you please help me out to undertstand how does these 3 DS works ? and why do we need 3 diff. DS ?
I know , i am asking a big question, and it would be bit tough to explain. but any kind of documentation will help.
i did research , but couldnt find the right way of doing it.
Please give me some thoughts !
Appreciate it.

Hi,
There are 3 DS for IM :-
2LIS_03_BX: extracts stock data from MM Inventory Management for initialization to a BW system.
2LIS_03_BF: extracts material movement data from MM Inventory Management (MM-IM) consistently to a BW system.
2LIS_03_UM: extracts revaluation data from MM Inventory Management (MM-IM) consistently to a BW system.
Maintain the following entries intables of the ECC System:
Table TBE11:
Maintain entry 'NDI' (text: New dimension integration) and u2018BWu2019 and the flag Active.
Also refer : OSS note 315880 & 571669.
Step 1:
Go to transaction RSA5 and activate the 3 DS.
Step 2: Delete Historical Data.
Step 3: Delete Data from setup Tables.
Step 4: Take reqd ECC downtime
Step 5: Stock Initialization : use transaction MCNB for 2LIS_03_BX data source.
Step 6: Fill Setup Tables for 2LIS_03_BF. (U can acces this from SBIW)
Step 7: Fill Setup Table for 2LIS_03_UM
Step 8: Pull Data for 2LIS_03_BX (the "NO marker update" shouldnt be ticked)
Step 9: Pull Data for 2LIS_03_BF.(the "NO marker update" should be ticked)
Successive delta loads should be with marker Updates (No Tick).
Step 10:Pull Data for 2LIS_03_UM.
Hope this helps.

Rahul

Database design (ERD )for Inventory Management System

Dear All,
I am going to develop a simple Inventory Management System software using C# .NET for my learning. After searching different forums, many people have suggested to first create a database design for the software. I want a database design, in short, an ERD
diagram for simple Inventory Management System which shows proper entities(tables), attributes and relationship between entities.
It would be highly helpful for me as I am newbie to C# and databases.
Thanks,
momersaleem

Dear Rebecca,
Thanks for you suggestions.
As I am going to develop IMS for learning purposes so I think I wouldn't need to go in detail regarding Customer name and addresses. However, I am still thinking of adding country attribute in customers' table which I think will be helpful to sort out customers.
What's the difference between a purchase and an order? They're usually the same thing, which doesn't mean you're
wrong, but what are you picturing here? Purchase entity will be used to keep record of purchases you made and an order entity will be used to keep record of orders that cutomers placed.
Pricing:
Any order system needs to manage two very distinct bits of data that are easy to confuse. The price in the Product entity is the current
price. The price in the Order entity is the selling
price. Not at all the same thing--current price is almost certainly going to change over time. Selling price won't.
Does it mean that I'll change the price attribute for product to current_price and add selling_price to order table which will help to keep record of price at the time of order?
Why did you include a quantity field in the Products table? Is it meant to represent stock on hand?
Yes you are right. It represents stock in hand.
Could you please recheck the entities relationships as I am not confirmed whether these are correct or not?
Thanks,
momersaleem

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.

New Goods Movement Type for Inventory Manager

Hi Guys,
I need to change a goods movement code used on Mobile App Inventory Manager 4.0 to a custom (Z) goods movement code, the fileds are the same so I thought changing the constant will work for this as we do a GoodReceipt with no reference to Purchase nor Production order (gmCode = 501) with a custom, copied from standard, Movement type gmCode = 950 (this is a well known practice on ERP). I have changed only the global constant on my copied IM application, for testing purpose and the local GR was created with gmCode = 950 instead of gmCode = 501, but when I was transmiting in order to create goods movement document on SAP, the application throws an error like: "PostReceiptsSteplet - Goods Movement Impossible with good movement type 950 - Server error". So I would like to know first:
If is it possible to include or change the standard gmCode for custom gmCode on mobile app Inventory Manager 4.0?
What would it be the Best Practice to do this? The steps to include a custom movement type, now I know is not only changes on global constants
I have checked the java doc for this method "PostReceiptsSteplet", and it did not say anything about the constructor .... or how is used... what has inside... what is the condition of execution.... nothing ...
Please Help... Mark Pe Stephen Streeter Jason Latko Omar Candelaria Manju Venkatesha

If those java source code are so troublesome to request... why should I request them if I won't change the app's base functionality??. Instead of requesting those java source code, the documentation of the java doc should improve, well the documentation in general for this app should improve ... Is only a suggestion ... I'm trying very hard not to ask for those source code, because what Mark Pe answer me on another post: If I ask for them, a disclamer must be signed because I could change a base functionality... and that's perfectly fine. But if I need to extend a class and add a few field: why do I need to ask for the code instead of checking the documentation and apply the customization needed?
Now I have some trouble extending a SAPOBJECT, because I don't quite understand the design of how you manage MaterialDocument / MaterialDocumentItem on the app. But I will post this question on another thread

Automatic batch management for Production order receipt

Hello ,
I have a requirement to setup & activate Batch Management only for Production order Good Receipt . I am looking out for what all configuration / data setup will be required to complete this .
To start with I have following questions .
1. Whether such activation is possible only for Production order Good receipt - 101 mov.type
2. IF yes , is Batch management activation status be at material or plant level .
3. As I need automatic assignment , should I be selecting Internal batch management .
4. What should be selected for valuation for Goods movement in Inventory management.
5. Is it necessary to have batch determination by maintaining Condition tables / Access sequence
6. What would be standard Class / characteristics to be maintained for automatic determination.
Also I will have to work with the running system where Material are already active and have stock in system . What precautions will I have take if I have to activate the Batch Management in a running system.
Appreciate all your expert advise.
Regards,
Lawrei

Thanks Adler for your comments .
With reference to your point , need further clarifications
1. If batch management is selected to material , this means that it will be active for all movement types for Inventory and cannot be restricted to 101 mov.type .
I see that in config node
+Define Batch Creation for Goods Movements+
    +Using this function, you can define for each movement type whether a new+
    +batch is created for a goods receipt and how it is created.+
Can I not restrict batch creation only for 101 movement , but again here I don't have options to select only for Good receipt for order - Tran/Ev type - WF .
& what about below config node
+Define Batch Creation for Production Order / Process Order+
    +In this step you can make the following settings in batch management for+
    +the existing production control profiles:+
Is it possible in this node .
Please advise.
Regards.

Localization for Inventory Manager 4.0

Hi guys,
Do you have any documentation which explain how to configure the localization on Inventory Manager 4.0? or something similar. I need to configure Spanish as an alternative language for the mobile app, but I don't know what is the procedure to configure the spanish language for inventory manager? I guess I must copy the ini files from language packs... and put these files on the same location where the other files exist... but after that I don't know what else I should do...

ok Mark Pe & Stephen Streeter , I see it now... thank you !!! ... I have done what Bill Froelich commented on Localization in Syclo Agentry for Spanish and German ...
and when I saw the startup log it shows:
16:24:00 09/08/2014: Event: 20, 153, Finished loading Production application definitions for default localization
16:24:00 09/08/2014: Event: 20, 152, Loading Production application definitions for 'en' localization
16:24:03 09/08/2014: Event: 20, 153, Finished loading Production application definitions for 'en' localization
16:24:03 09/08/2014: Event: 20, 152, Loading Production application definitions for 'es' localization
16:24:07 09/08/2014: Event: 20, 153, Finished loading Production application definitions for 'es' localization
16:24:07 09/08/2014: Event: 20, 151, Finished loading Production application definitions using file "SAPIM-v1-0-0-app"
That seems to be fine... now it loads the localization (english and spanish as suggested on the other post), but when I enter to the device (physical device), the client still shows the labels in english.... The regional settings on the devices says Spanish (Venezuela).. Is this configuration on regional setting has something to do with the fact the labels still are shown in english??... the language is always like this: Spanish (Argentina), Spanish (Chile), Spanish (Venezuela)... It does not have only spanish...
