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.

If it is BI 7 then for BX in in DTP in Extraction Tab you need to select Extacrion mode = NON-Cumulative option.

Inventory mgmt cube

Please search the forums before posting
Hello
I am assigned on implementation project of BI .
Could any one plz suggest me which cube should be implemented and merely used for inventory mgmt.
Regards
Edited by: Arun Varadarajan on Jun 17, 2009 6:45 PM

For Inventory Management generally the cube 0IC_C03 is used.
Some special criteria needs to be followed to implement Inventory Cube.

Material master codification & inventory mgmt- construction industry

Hi,
I am designing the process for a client in the construction industry. The implementation will include integration with PS module. The client is working on different projects and the materials requirement for each project differ from the other.
Example:
Though i may have pipe at a broad level, the requirement of pipes is based on the diameter of pipes and this would ideally form multiple material codes.
I want to know, if any of you have come across such a scenario where creation of material master to the lowest level of specification will be very tedious. And also the same material specification may not be used in more than a project.
But at the same time, the client wants to track his inventory based on the specifications of pump received and issued / consumed.
thanks

hi,
would appreciate any help on this.

Posting block in Inventory Mgmt

Hi guys,
what is this posting block which comes
up in material movement recompilation
run, elaboration is of need.
Thanks,
Due points will be assigned

Hello ViJaY,
I read Roberto's reply and made some sense,
I.e. While filling the setup tables there are chances of getting duplicate records into it as the other LO applications update the data while running the setup.
To avoid this, we use the Posting block concept, here u will give the From and To dates so only the records related will be filled in the setup tables. Till this job completes no other postings will be allowed.
Also, Inventory links with many applications like MM / SD / PP, etc. Inorder to avoid the updation from other applications we follow the concept 'Posting block'.
Roberto, Am I correct ? could u give us more info ?!
Best Regards....

Document types Inventory Mgmt.

What are the different document types in the inventory documents?
i.e. in GR/GI/TP/ST etc.
Also where to assign the number ranges to all these document types?

Dear Monica
In Inventory management following are the three main documents types.
1)Material document
2) Accounting Document
3) Physical Inventory Document
Whenever you post any document through MIGO , MIRO or physical Inventory material & accounting document is created .Accounting document will be created only in case of valuated transaction.
For both these documents & for diffrent transactions say MIGO ,MIRO or physical inventory documents you can assign number ranges as per your requirement in customizing.
I hope this reply will be helpful to you & if so please reward points,

Inventory Mgmt Condition records transport

Hi friends
we have 300 condition records in inventory management(ME) and ouput type ZSS , when we create condition records its not created Transport Request.
we want to transport these entries from Dev to QA and to Prod.
Please hekp me how can we do this.
Thanks
Ramesh

since these are master data, you will not get a transport request.
go to transaction NACR, application ME, output type ZCS and download all the condition records to Excel. in the target system create a BI-recording using transaction LSMW and re-apply the conditions using your Excel-file.

Inventory Mgmt

Hello All -
We currently manage inventory from one location. However, we are considering locating our inventory in two locations - how would we set this up in SAP?
Thanks,
Mike

Mike,
In B1 A version, there is no location available. Therefore, you may only need set up new warehouse(s) to represent the new location.
Thanks,

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

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.

NO MARKER UPDATE(INVENTORY)

HI GURUS,
CAN ANYBODY PLS EXPLAIN WHAT IS THE USE OF NO MARKER UPDATE IN INVENTORY MGMT.

Hi,
Marker is used to reduce the time of fetching the non-cummulative key figures while reporting.
This no marker update concept arrises if the cube contains a non -cuumulative key figures. say for example take the material movements cube where stock quantity is a non-cummualtive key figure. there the process of laoding the data into the cube involves in two steps.
in the first step one should load the records pertaining to the opening stock balance/or the stock present at the time of implementation. at this time we will make marker to update( uncheck no marker update) so that the value of current stock quantity is stored in the marker. After that when we r loading the historical movements (stock movements made previous to the time of implementing the cube). at this time we have to check marker update so that the marker should not be updated ( bcs of these historical movemtns only the stock balance /opening stock quantity has been updated. i.e we have already loaded the present stock and the aggreagation of previous/historical data accumulates to the present data).
Second after every successful delta loads, we should not check maker update ( we should allow to update marker) so that the chances in the stock quantity should be updated in the marker value.The marker will be updated to those records which are compressed.The marker will not be updated to those uncompressed requests. thats why for every delta load requests the requests should be compressed.
This marker is mainly used to fetch the records value for reporting. it helps easily to get the values of previous stock qunatities while reporting.

Warehouse Mgmt/Invtory Mgmt Books

Does anyone recommend a good book (Not SAP related) on Warehouse Mgmt/ Inventory Mgmt books?

All-in-one inventory management linked to business catalyst eCommerce site , amazon, ebay, etsy, etc.

I have an eCommerce website to create for one of my clients.
My client will sell products on his website, ebay, amazon, and maybe event etsy.
What would be the best solution for a all-in-one multi-channel inventory control system?
Is there a way to link the Business Catalyst inventory mgmt system with other sales channels?
Do you suggest a different solution, in order to have an all-in-one control of inventory linked to the website, eBay, Amazon, Etsy and maybe others, so that my client will be able to see which models are selling the most, as well as what is left and what is in need of reordering?
Thank you for the support,
blankiris

I've built systems like this in the past, with any custom solution the devil is in the details, it depends on what you want to do and what you expect. As Liam has pointed out the API is your best friend here, you can develop something that pulls data from BC and puts it where you need.
If you try to do everything at once (all those sites listed) you might find you have problems, I would start with one site first, make any changes you need there and roll out to the other platforms.
Please drop me a PM I would be happy to assist in building.
