Inventory Scenario

I'm working on inventory cube 0IC_c03( Material Movements).
I loaded the opening balance from 2lis_03_bx and compressd the request with no marker update.I got more added records than transfered records. later i loaded movements 2lis_03_bf (initilize delta process).0 records r updated and same as 2lis_03_um. Is that necessary to compress with marker update?.
If we get more added records how do we compare the date with source?

Hi,
 loaded the opening balance from 2lis_03_bx and compressd the request with no marker update.
You should go with marker update here.
I got more added records than transfered records.
Nothing to worry.It is normal behaviour of BX update rules.
later i loaded movements 2lis_03_bf (initilize delta process).0 records r updated and same as 2lis_03_um.
Have you filled the setup tables? Have you taken industory sector defination in R/3 before filling set up table.Search with BF11 fo more information.
 Is that necessary to compress with marker update?.
It is not neccessary to uploading other DS data.But it is required to get correct valuesin the report.

Inventory scenario need material document

Hi,guys,
Our customer need to add material document as a free characteristic when they use in the Inventory overview report. The report initially shows the inventory quantity and amount with every material for every month. I want to use the stardard dataflow which use cube 0IC_C03 which extract data from BF and BX. But it doen't contain material document.
So what should I do to achive the requiement? Can I use a addional dso to extract from BF PSA layer and join with cube 0IC_C03? If in that case, how can I join them? and would that result into a pour query performance? or any good ideas?
Hope someone could give me a detailed suggusion.
Thanks a lot!

Hi,
It is not a problem, by default 0IC_C03 won't contains any document no, but you can see that in DataSOurces, so you add the Infoobejct in InfoSOurce and ten in Cube then map it and activate the Transformations. Here you will get errors while activating the Transformations (in case of if added in InfoSource and CUbe) and activating the Transformations, so you need to add the newly added one in Start routine of the Transformations. i.e. you need to balance the SOURCE_PACKAGE and DATA_PACKAGE fields equally.
I also added that in my 0IC_C03 cube.
Thanks

Inventory Extraction Issue

Hi Gurus,
I have couple of questions here regarding Inventory extraction, and I will ask one by one:
1. I have a requirement to develop a report called " Stock Ledger Report " where the KPI's would be Quantity, Cost & Retail Price. The 2 KPI's Quantity & Costs are straightforward and the data for these come from MSEG-MENGE & MSEG-MENGE respectively. Retail Price is a bit complex since it is dependent on time and my client being a retail one their prices are subjected to change according to time. This is being calculated from different tables in the R/3 side so it's pretty clear that I have to add a custom field to my extractor.
Now my Question is, to which data source should I add the custom field, will it be 2lis_03_bx or 2lis_03_bf?
2. I started the extraction sometime back for 2lis_03_bx since that has to be extracted first, but I am getting a runtime error that says:
Short Text
    Too many parameters specified with PERFORM.
What happened?
    In a subroutine call, there were more parameters than in the
    routine definition.
    Error in ABAP application program.
    The current ABAP program "SAPLMCB1" had to be terminated because one of the
    statements could not be executed.
    This is probably due to an error in the ABAP program.

    An exception occurred. This exception is dealt with in more detail below
    . The exception, which is assigned to the class

     "(FORM)"
    Since the caller of the procedure could not have expected this exception
     to occur, the running program was terminated.
    The reason for the exception is:
    A PERFORM was used to call the routine "F0001_UPDATE" of the program
     "RMCSA278".
    This routine contains 4 formal parameters, but the current call
    contains 5 actual parameters.
    parameters.
The first thing I did was to check for the OSS notes 315880 and 353042 that have to be installed in the R/3 system to perform the data loading. I got this from the SAP White paper, How to handle Inventory scenarios in BW.
I didn't find these notes in my R/3 system here, so I searched for these nodes in market place. The first note didn't make much sense to me where as the 2nd note was about how to activate the transaction key (PROCESSKEY).
According to what was mentioned in market place, in order to work with the Inventory extractors I have to activate the determination of the PROCESS KEY. So how do I know which PROCESS KEY corresponds to my requirement ? I could see all the process keys in the Transaction key maintainence for BW in SBIW.
My Question is if these 2 OSS notes are installed. will the issues be resolved ??
Thanks,
Guru.

Hi
check this SAp note for your dump

Inventory management in BW

Gurus,
My inventory scenario is one where I am starting the BW system up at the same time as my go-live. I am proficient in the inventory management scenarios, however, I am finally at a client who is starting their BW implementation up at the same time as their R/3 system goes live.
I do not need to initialize my stock (2LIS_03_BX). However in my testing environment the have already done goods receipts into inventory. When I try to bring my Inventory into BW and compress the request with "No stock marker" update checked for my INIT on BF I get 0 quantities and values.
When I try the opposite (and manage no stock marker update) as if it were a delta, I balance to R/3 invetory just fine. This tells me that I should not check the "No stock marker" update. IS THIS OK? In other words, when I go into our Production environment, and for some reason, I need to reinitialize 2LIS_03_BF, can I do it without activating 2LIS_03_BX?
Kind Regards,
Alex

Hi,
If you are using BFwith out Bx,then you do not need to check the "No stock marker" update for DELTA INIT and Delta Loads of BF. That means you are updating stock in BIW with Bf only.

Hey Brian,
Sorry I mistook your reply, am stuck with too much of work buddy, working on Inventory scenarios as well as POS DM too....your answers sounds cool. I will definitely try that once am done with the issue of running the setup tables and actually I think you suggestion would definitely work in my scenario since my client s a retail client and their prices change with time.
Can you also tell answer me with regard to my 2nd question.
Thank you so much

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 Management with u0091Material Document No.u0092 and u0091Purchase order No.'

Hello,
We have defined Inventory Management InfoCube analog to 0IC_C03 without Material Document No. (R3 Field MBLNR) and Purchase order number (R3 Field EBELN). We are loading the data from standard extractor 2LIS_03_BX, 2LIS_03_BF and 2LIS_03_UM. It works fine. We have alreday read the whitepaper Inventory Scenarios in BW.
Question:
Now the Material Document No. and Purchase order number have to report in BEx. As ODS can not be built in Inventory Management, so we cant include these fields in ODS and update data from ODS into another InfoCube with Document No. or order number.
We dont want to include these fields Document No. and Order number. in existing InfoCube because of performance reason.
Could you tell me how we can implement such a scenario?
Thanks for the answer.
Best regards,
Moha

hi Moha,
perhaps check
Note 581778 - ODS capability of extractors from Inventory Management
Note 773823 - P25:ODS objects cannot be loaded with opening stock
hope this helps.

Differ. VMI(Vendor Managed Inventory) and SMI(Supplier Managed Inventory)?

Hi all~
I'm beginner in SNC.
SNC have SMI scenario. But I think SNC-SMI is same as MM-VMI scenario.
SMI
======================================================
http://www50.sap.com/businessmaps/1D59B26B277611D5B359000102ACA9A3.htm
The SMI process is a supplier-driven replenishment and planning process, which is based on min/max stock balance levels, on current demand, in-transits and planned shipments.
======================================================
VMI
======================================================
[http://www50.sap.com/businessmaps/459B5C21A96411D3870B0000E820132C.htm|http://www50.sap.com/businessmaps/459B5C21A96411D3870B0000E820132C.htm]
With vendor managed inventory scenarios, manufacturers can offer their customers a value added service by performing the replenishment planning task for their business partners.
======================================================
Anyone can help to verify differ or same?
Thank you.
SKY.

Hello ,
To add to above two answers,in SNC supply chain is as follows.
SUPPLIER -
> MANUFACTURE -
> CUSTOMER
SNC as an aplication will be installed at Manufatcurer site.
Now if Supplier is managing inventory for manufacturer than it is SMI.In this case supplier will login into SNC ( hosted at Manufatcuring site ) and manage inventory.
If Manufacturer is managing inventory for CUSTOMER than it is VMI.
Basically SMI and VMI are mirror image of each other.
Hope it will help.

Inventory Issue: Movement type 905 creating two records in BI.

Hello Experts,
We have a problem in Inventory scenario implemented in our system.After the month load completion in Snap shot Cube,we are getting quantity mismatch between BI and ECC values.I found out that there are records exist with movement type 905 creating problem.
we have only one record in ECC while there are two records exist in BI with one have reversal indicator on it and other does not have reversal indicator.Qty is same in both of the case ,also the record which have reversal indicator have Process key 100 while the record with out reversal indicator doesn't have any process key.And in further update from ODs ZMMDS104 to ICSNAP1 ,in update rule we are adding or subtracting on the basis of process key as per standard Inventory scenario implementation.
So am i right that this Movement type is creating problem ..?
Does any one faces this issue earlier...?
and if this is issue then how to resolve this ?
Please advice as soon as possible as it becomes a high priority issue in client space.
Thanks in Advance
Regards,
Yash Raj.

Hi Aduri,
Thanks for the quick reply.
I ma new to inventory field,can you please guide me how to check your advice details in the system like you
said "Recheck the Reversal Indicated Qty because if it has reverse indicator it should come from ECC or from ODS Check the Same at Change Log Table to trace the Changes."
What do you mean by "or from ODS" do you mean that ODS could create this entry ..? also this ODs ZMMDS104 is got daily loaded by delta from 2lis_03_bf . but this record is related to period 12/2008.and now we are in period 1/2009 (as i am trying to reconciling the data for last period) so i Guess there is no chance to find out this entry in change log.
Also "Try to see at DS field for the Process Key/Movement type with Reverse Indicator At ECC. "
How to check the same in data source?
Also "If you don't have the Reverse postings at ECC without process Key then you can report on the same to the Functional Team/Client. But before that make sure that you have reverse postings without process key assigned to it."
I checked in the ECC system(RSA3) There is only one record exist in for that material document it has positive quantity and material movement type 905 with movement indicator L.
Waiting for your response.
Thanks once again

Yash Raj

Inventory Standalone VMware 3.0.2 host

Has anyone managed to inventory a 3.0.2 ESX standalone host with MAPS 9?
Works ok with version 5 and 5.1 hosts according to the documentation should scan ESX.
Scan does not give any results back. I can logon through web access and /mob page
Is there a logfile i can check?
Thanks

MAP uses the web services API from VMware, and I believe that was available in the 3.x versions of the hypervisor. You could try turning on trace2 logging which will give you A LOT of information and hopefully the answer. Since Trace2 logging can be overwhelming
in terms of the information you get, it is best to work with a fresh database and new log file and to only target 1 machine. This will keep the information to a manageable level.
To get the detailed log, follow these instructions:
1. With MAP closed, rename the existing MAP log file which is located in "%LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\MAP\MapToolkit.log" if the default path was used during installation. It is recommended that you include a number or date when renaming so that you
can keep the logs in order if you have to do this again.
2. Open Notepad as Administrator
3. Open "%LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\MAP\Logging.cfg" in Notepad
4. Change the line that says “.default=Info” to read “.default=Trace2”
5. Save and close the file
6. Open MAP (this creates a new log file)
7. Go to File > Select a Database
8. In the window that opens, select the radio button called “Create an inventory database” and enter a name
9. Click ok
10. On the Overview page in MAP, click on “Perform an inventory”
11. In the inventory wizard, on the Inventory Scenario page, choose only VMware and nothing else.
12. Choose "Manually enter computer names and credentials" as the discovery method. Do not choose another discovery method.
13. Enter the needed credentials in "All Computers Credentials".
14. On the manual entry wizard page, make sure you select "Use All Computers credential list" and finish the wizard
15. Once the inventory has completed, exit MAP
16. Open Logging.cfg is the same manner as before and change it back to “.default=Info”

Unable to view stock on a posting date

I'm implementing inventory scenario in BI.
Initialized the stock in R/3 and uploaded into cube 0IC_C03 through 2LIS_03_BX.
Also initialized 2LIS_03_BF and uploaded into the same cube.
When i run a query, I see opening stock.
But if i change posting date to view stock for that date, I dont see any change in quantities.
Seems like the material movements are not being captured into BI.
Please help...
Thanks in advance

Elangovan,
yes, with 2LIS_03_BF, 888 records were added.
I compressed both requests, 2LIS_03_BX WITH marker update and 2LIS_03_BF with NO marker update.
You asked about maintaining markers, not sure if there was anything else to be done?
Also, please help me with the transaction keys...not sure what that is. I'm new to inventory management in BI.
Thanks

Delivery Notes

What is a delivery note?
What is its meaning and which are the transactions for it?
Edited by: Wilian Segatto on Jan 22, 2010 4:13 PM

I assume your question is about Delivery Note.
Delivery note is also called Advanced Shipping Notification (ASN). It is created against a Purchase Order by the supplier to provide a sort of supply confirmation.
When actual delivery occurs this Delivery Note / ASN can be referenced.
ASN can be a fax or mail document. In SCM-ICH it is possible to create ASNs directly in Supplier Managed Inventory scenario. However I do not know the specific transactions.

How to find out the missing records

Dear all,
I feel that there is some Inconsistent records between R/3 and the extracted records BI for the data source 2LIS_03_BF. some of the records may not be updated through delta.. Is this possible? as we have created Zkey figures to capture the diffrent unit of measure's quantity from the table MSEGO2 and updated to IC_c03 cube.
Can any one tell me how to go about the missed records..where to find them.. and how to extract them.
Poits will be assigned
Regards
venu

hi,
inventory scenario is difficult to handle as this have non cumulative key figures which can be viewed at the repors.
extreme care is required while compression and intila loads and their compression.
run the report or ask the user to run the report and sort out the missing records.
chk out the document and chk if the procedure done by you is correct.
