Inventory tracking at bag level...

Dear Experts,
        My client is having specific requirement regarding material handling
Production order will be created for a BATCH (lot of pallets produced in a day) with UoM KG, which will consist of individual pallet numbers. Pallet consists of 48 bags (each of 20 kg), duly packed on a wooden pallet. Now GR will be done for Pallet by splitting up the Qty of BATCH001 into pallets with specific batch no assigned to it, during GR.Hence inventory will be updated in the form of pallet only.
       The relation of pallet to bag is being maintained into a Z custom table in SAP which is customized for printing barcode label,having Pallet & bag no.
Now sometimes, user requires removing a specific bag from specific lot for sending it to customer as sample.He want to track that bag into inventory.
       Is it possible by some way to trace the bag ? Pls help..
The structure is like this
Batch001
P1--48 BAGS
P2-- 48 BAGS
P3-- 48 BAGS
P4-- 48 BAGS
Here P Stands for Pallet .Several pallets e.g.P1,P2,P3...(each consisting 48 bags ) makes a batch.
Thanks in advance

No, it is not possible in standard. You are using a Z table and custom logic to identify each bag. There's no process in the system that is aware of it.
So, if you need it, you'll have to further enhance your custom development, to provide for this requirement, or review the Z solution to try and replace it with existing functionality.

Inventory Tracking / Stock Posting cannot change batch quantity

When stock taking, Item A in the system consist of :
- Batch B-01 = 10 pcs
- Batch B-02 = 10 pcs.
Actual stock has:
- Batch B-01 = 20 pcs.
Anybody knows how to fix this batch quantity, through Inventory Tracking / Stock Posting ?
Since I try it, it couldn't work.

User define field in inventory tracking

Hi there,
I found out that there is no UDF allowed in inventory tracking
i need UDF like bin location to indicate each item on different bin code.
Anyone has any solution for this scenario? Thanks

Hello,
you are correct. you can't add UDF in the selection criteria (all selection criteria). It must be done using addon. We have developed addon in the item list selection criteria, the addon is a report adddon means a button that can call crystal report.
So, I am sure you also must do that, but if I see requirement, it means that the selection criteria will filter based on bin code.

Inventory load at WM level

Hi All,
We have an issue with inventory load at my present client, here is the background on it.
Client has two legacy systems;
First SYSTEM holds information on where product is located in the warehouse (bin or rack locations) along with quantities, and
Second systems holds information on bill of entry number (which is assigned by "customs" when product is imported from outside country vendors, which is 100% case) along with quantity.
It is possible to have 2 bill of entry numbers for 100 pcs for a material in system #2, and it is in 4 different locations in system #1 or vice versa. We need to capture bill of entry number in SAP, which we have planned to capture in batches.
We are struggling in devising a plan to load inventory at plant/WM level (mainly at WM level).
Our approach (which is still not clear):
1. Load stock at IM level based for n number of entries (where n is equal to Bill of entry available against each material) which can be determined based on System #2 extract. Example: System #2 says 5 bill of entries available for 1000 pcs of XYZ (100 + 300 + 200 + 200 + 200), then load inventory using MB1C for 5 lines with before mentioned quantities. External batches will be used for load and will be updated later with correct batch characterstic - BILL OF ENTRY.
2. Now how do we move stock at WM level. I know transfer requirements will be created but I have two spreadsheets, one with location information along with quantity and other with bill of entry information along with quantity. Again like I mentioned before, number of bill of entries in system in most cases will be different than number of location this material is available. EXAMPLE: 5 bill of entries for 1000 pcs from above example can be in 10 different locations, 50 pcs in location #1, 150 in location #2, and so on.
We don't have direct link between bill of entry number and location, which is making all this load more difficult.
We are thinking of having a program written or a macro in VB to do complex lookup in multiple tables to determine which bill of entry will be assigned to which location. But I will appreciate if anyone can assist me or give me an idea which is simpler than this approach.

Hi Naren,
u201CWe don't have direct link between bill of entry number and location, which is making all this load more difficult.u201C
If you do not know the exact connection between u201Cbill of entriesu201D and location (in WH) in your legacy system(s), how do you want to solve this problem in SAP???
First, you should create one table with correct information: material, batch, location. If you cannot determine it other way, you should make a physical inventory (stock count, just physically) and decide which material in which location which u201Cbill of entriesu201D (~batch) has. If you cannot get this information thereu2019s no point in speaking about this problem in my opinion u2013 you should have the proper input to get the proper output.
After that you can easily upload your data, even directly into WM storage bin w/o using any TR & TO (you can give the WM data directly for IM mvt 561 u2013 you can allow this in OMJJ). Or you can use u201Ctraditionalu201D stock upload by 561 in IM and after that you can create TOs to upload to stock into the bins.

Creating Physical Inventory at Material/Quant level

Hi,
Is it possible to do Physical inventory at material /quant level in the Warehouse management.
We dont want to do cycle count.
Is their a way to do physical inventory at material/quant level

Hi
With WM you can do Continuous Inventory which counts at the bin level AND if you want to count by Material you can use transaction LICC to do this but in transaction OMNK you set the Invent method to PZ and select the Cycle count box (And the rest of the settings for physical inventoy)
You then have to make your settings for cycle counting in OMCO
Once this is done you can use either to count with
I hope that this helps

** Balance sheet at Profit center with Inventory valuation at CoCd level **

Scenario:
Inventory valuation is at CoCd level. Moving Average costing.
There are 2 plants in CoCd 3000.
1.     I created material 1234 in plant P1 (profit ctr P1) & in plant P2 (profit ctr P2)
2.     Then, I received a PO - $1000 (100 qty @ $10) in plant P1 & $1100 (100 qty @ $11) in plant P2
3.     So the Moving average at CoCd is $10.50
4.     I created a Sales order to ship out 100 qty from plant P1. The PGI posted at moving average at CoCd level i.e.
        Dr COGS $1050
        Cr Inventory $1050
5.     Now, Inventory GL account value becomes -ve 50 at plant P1
6.     MB52 looks wrong as below. It doesnu2019t show -50 in P1 & 1100 in P2
Question:
Is there any standard way to accomplish Balance sheets at Profit center with Inventory valuation at CoCd level?
- We can do custom development to distribute Inventory balance on profit centers upon receipts or Invoice receipts (i.e. anything that updates the Moving Avg at CoCd) eg in step 2, when $1100 (100 qty @ $11) in plant P2 is received, then post +500 to inventory in P1 & -500 in P2, to make both P1 & P2 at 1050.
However, this would be huge effort on Development, Testing & ongoing maintenance.
- Another custom way would be to post to Profit centers a periodic entry to correct Inventory balance to (Qty on hand x Moving Avg at CoCd)
Please let me know your thoughts. Thanks.

Hi,
I don't think so it's happen at valuation at Company code level.
Inventory Valuation always at plant level only not at Profit center and company code level.
In your case 2 Plants and 2 Profit centers. There is no chance to different the value at Profit center . Check once in Dev. server with example.

3rd Party Inventory Tracking

Hello Experts,
I'm working on an implementation of DP and SNP within the SCM System, where we'll use DP to forecast our in-feed (across our 3rd party (3P) vendors) and transfer it to SNP. Once in SNP I need to net out inventory quantities, which is in a typical scenario no problem and quite easy. however, the scenario i am working doesn't seem to quite fit from what i understand and where i need some guidance.
First let me say i am looking for guidance on what documenation i could read that would help me solve my problem. Whether it be help documentation, white papers, etc.
In my organization, we have fully outsourced our operations to various 3rd party vendors, but we perform all the material planning so the material distributor(s) know how much material is going to be required to fulfill our network. The challenge i am facing is what is the best way to track the inventory levels at the various 3rd party locations? Please keep in mind we do not own nor manage the 3rd party inventory. Which means we do not perform GR or GI nor are we involved in the purchasing or selling of materials but, we need visibility into their inventory for netting in SNP. The first thought was to simply put the inventory quantities for each 3P into a BW cube and pull it from there. I haven't ruled this option out but before i committ to this i'd like to know if there is a standard solution to this problem. is there a way to store the inventory in ECC and CIF to SCM or whether storing the inventory directly in SCM. At this point i am not set on any given idea and i am really looking for a standard way to track our 3rd party inventory. one last comment is, i'm not opposed to using a standard modulel/process in a non-standard method meaning if there is a module out there that does 75 to 90 % of what i want but i have to rework somethings i'm open to that as well.
thank you in advance for taking the time to review my question.
Mike

Hi Mike,
I can think of the following options:
1) Are your vendors already a part of network in R/3? If yes, then you could get the inventory data from them using EDI. Then you could pass on this data to APO, and it could be used in planning.
2) You could also get the inventory data through EDI directly into APO. Then it could be used for planning.
Both the above 2 options would require that your vendors use some system and you need to maintain the EDI interface. If they are using only 2-3 types of systems, then it might be simple to get the data, but if there are lot of vendors using different type of systems, it could be quite complex to setup up the infrastructure.
3) I understand its also possible to get stock data from vendors using SNC, but I am not very clear if the same data could be used in APO-SNP or not.
PS: There would also be a possibility to upload stock using some custom program. You would not be able to get stock data in APO from the cube as far as I know (unless you have defined some custom time series key figure for stock).
Thanks - Pawan

Physical Inventory at Storage location level

hi.,
Environment ECC 6.0
Our suggestion on Physical inventory at the client site was as per SAP
"If the flag for posting block is set then no movements can be posted for that material. Note that the inventory document should be created at a material / plant / storage location level so as to not block that material at other storage locations. If a block is not required then do not flag the Set posting block indicator. It is always prudent to restrict the amount of materials being counted and to clear the count results quickly so business is not interrupted"
CLIENT feedback: " Like wise we asked the client to make the selection by Plant = 1000, SLoc = 100, and WBS =2312-344-332 and checked Posting Blocked.
My understanding was that this selection would block only the 1000/100/WBS location.
Client is having a problem is that people trying to transact in a SLoc other than 100 (200, 300, 400) are experiencing the Blocked warning.
I know I heard that we can inventory a Storage location in SAP and lock it and the rest of the sites could continue without interruption.
Any suggestions on how we can achieve this.
Tx

Hi,
Are you setting teh posting block at the time of creation of physical inventory document or by running MI32 later?
If you are running MI32, then ensure that you enter teh storage locations correctly, else the material irrespective of storage locatioons may get blocked.
Hope this helps

Requirement for getting the Inventory at a daily level (Non-cumulatvev KF)

Hello All,
Kindly provide ur suggesstions on the issue mentioned below:
We require the Inventory data at a daily level. Also we require that the non-cumulatve Key Figures such as 0TOTALSTOCK, etc. be available to us in the BW itself, since this is required for further processing.
PS: Right now we are using RSCRM_BAPI to execute the qurey and store the data into a table, but it fails for non-cumulative keyfigures. Kindly suggest if ther are other ways which can suffice the requirement mentioned above.
Thank you.

Applying video effects in Premiere at the track or media level?

Hello,
I am trying to adjust to the Premiere workflow, coming from Vegas, and have a question regarding the application of video effects. Premiere seems to apply effects at the clip level - for example, if there is a cut in the clip, the effect is only applied to a portion of the clip. Vegas allows for the application of effects at the media level - no matter how many cuts have been made - or at the track level. Is there something comparable in Premiere? I have been trying to apply the Neat Video effect, and the only thing I can think of is to select multiple clips when applying it, but it seems to crash Premiere when I do that. Any advice on making this work would be much appreciated.
On a related topic, does Premiere apply effects in a chain, as they are added, or does it automatically perform an reffect first if it should be applied first? In other words, does it matter in what order the effects are applied, and if so, is there a rough order of how they should be applied?

I'm running Premiere Pro 5.5 and have been able to lasso and apply my effects to several of my clips all at once.
Once you apply the effect and fine-tune (if need be), you can right-click and create a User Preset to help save time (say if all of your clips needed to be color corrected). The User Presets are the first folder listed in the Effects bin.
As far as the effects order are concerned, you pretty much have to play around with those yourself. I use a Video Limiter effect with a ProcAmp and have noticed that if they aren't in a certain order (the first listed effect is the first applied...) it changes how it looks and not always for the best. Best bet is to play around and see what order of video effects works best for you.
Good Luck!

How can l keep the same track mixer volume levels in logic when bouncing a project ? HELP !!!

When l bounce a project, all of the mixer levels return at the defult level automatically, they do not stay at the levels l require (levels l have previously set for each track). Which means l do not get each track at the volume l need when it is made into an mp3.
Below is an example from a help-discussion website with someone who has the exact same problem as me. However, none of the suggestions the people have made on it will resolve the on-going problem for either of us :
http://www.logicprohelp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=374597 (there is a clear explanation of the problem on this link with helpful screen shots)
Any help, suggestions or advice would be much appreciated.
Many thanks.

I gave the most probable cause/solution in that thread:
Open the event list (E), select and remove all MIDI CC [b]7[/b] messages from all tracks/regions.
To select all MIDI CC 7 messages in one region, first select one, then hit shift-S.

Physical Inventory Count with Batches / Inventory Tracking+Posting

Hi,
There does not seem to be any way to record a Physical Inventory count with Batch managed items.
Scenario-1: In case 1.8 kg of batch number 222 is counted during Physical Count. B1 has Batch number 111 with quantity 2.5kg. B1 assumes that a lesser quantity of existing batch 111 was counted and the batch SELECTION screen appears.
Scenario-2: Similarly, if 3 kg of batch number 222 is counted during Physical Count and Batch number 111 exists on Business One with quantity 2.5kg, then B1 assumes that a new batch was found and the batch CREATION screen appears.
Scenario-3: If 2.5 kg of batch number 222 is counted during Physical Count - with Batch number 111 on Business One with quantity 2.5kg, then B1 assumes a zero "difference" in posting window. Wrong batch removal and new batch addition cannot be done - the batch selection/creation screen does not pop up with CTRL+TAB.
A Physical inventory count sheet with hundreds of rows with all 3 above scenarios in the rows is normally supposed to be entered into any system.
An easy way to do this should exist on SAP B1 but does not appear to exist right now.

Message# 551219/2009
Dear Ajay Audich,
Thanks for your message and screenshots. In current version of SAP Business One, the Inventory Posting functionality does not offer input at the batch level. The system behaves in the following way:
If the Difference number is positive, you will see a Define Bathes
window where you can assign the item quantity to the relevant batches.
If the Difference number is negative, you will see a Batch Number
Selection widow where you can issue item from the relevant batch.
So it isnot possible to enter the count for batch managed items per batch. The possible workaround is after Inventory Posting, use Goods Issue and Receipt to manually adjust the Batch quantity.
Please kindly have a try. If the feature is important for customer
business process, please kindly refer to attached Note 1028874 for
further action.
Sorry for any inconvenience, we appreciate your understanding.
Kind regards,

Inventory tracking spreadsheet help.

I'm hoping to create a file that tracks all my inventory. Sheet A lists all my stock with inventory codes to correcsponding stock types. I would like to create a formula that copies the inventory from sheet A to sheet B, C, D , E and F dependinfg on the inventory code in sheet A.
ie. If inventory code is 2001- then copy that stock into sheet B. If inventory code is 2002- then copy stock into sheet C... etc etc
Can anyone help? I've tried every formula I can think of!
THanks in advance!
Becky
See following screen shots...
Sheet List
Key
Sheet A
Sheet B

Hi Becky,
Here's one way to go about it.
The image below is a recreation of your Main data table, renamed "Main". T cut down on typing, I shortened the item names, and omitted the Notes (none of these would be transferred to the In Stock table.)
The actual table continued to the last fully visible row of the image in your initial post.
The new column on the right uses COUNTIF to greate an index of rows with each Inventory code. This is a 'working column,' and may be hidden.
Formula:
H2: =E2&"-"&COUNTIF($E$2:E2,E2)
Fill down to the end of the table.
The satellite tables are all identical except for name and the values in cells A1 (inventory code for items to be collected by this table) and B2 (Name of this table). Note that this table has two header rows to provide space for the Inventory Code and name in the top row.
The table contains a single formula, with one edit required to skip the column on Main containing the inventory codes.
Formula:
A3: =IFERROR(OFFSET(Main :: $A$1,MATCH($A$1&"-"&ROW()-1,Main :: $H,0)-1,COLUMN()),"")
Enter the formula in A3, then fill it right to D3, where it will pick up the inventory code (2001) from E2 of Main).
Edit the formula to insert "+1" after COLUMN()
D3: =IFERROR(OFFSET(Main :: $A$1,MATCH($A$1&"-"&ROW()-1,Main :: $H,0)-1,COLUMN()+1),"")
Fill right to E3.
Select cells A3 to E3, then use the fill handle to fill down to the end of the table.
Because the formula will return a zero for empty cells (such as those in the Date Sold and Notes columns, I used conditional formatting to hide these zeros (in Date sold) or to make them less visible (Notes). The rules are identical except for the colour (white or grey) set conditionally for text in the cells. The image shows the rule for all cells in Column E (Notes).
Duplicate this table for sheets C, D, E and F, then edit the table's name to match its function and replace the inventory code in A1 and name in B1 with those approprate to each table. I would develope the tables on the same sheet as the Main table, then, when completed, move each to its own sheet.

Text tracks change video levels

Does anyone know why turning on any text tracks like the chapters track, darkens the displayed video in the QT player?
You can observe this, by first (if your text tracks are on already) open the properties editor window, (command+J) and turn off any text tracks, then save and close the movie.
Re-open the movie and the video will be brighter, open the properties window again and while watching the video, turn on any text track and you will see the video in the QT player darken. Turning off any text tracks at this point will not return the video to brighter levels, you will have to leave the text tracks off, close the movie and reopen them, to see any change.
Also, does anyone know why when a video is RTSP streamed over the internet, this same issue arises, only this happens to QT movies that have no text track at all, when streamed over the internet, via RTSP, (not progressive download.)
Any ideas would be welcome.

FYI for QuickTimeKirk
As to RTSP QT streaming and captioning, I actually have hinted the caption text track of a streaming movie and via RTSP, have had the captioning show up in a browser window, I know, it was a surprise to me as well.
I actually use SMIL files to add captioning over RTSP streams, which includes the following, if anybody is interested on how to do it. The original QT streaming file has to be captioned, because we also allow progressive download of the same files, so the captioning text track has to be there for QT player to show captioning.
Anyway, the files that are needed to stream QT captioning along with the movie are as follows:
QT movie
QT movie containing and extract of the the text track only, from the original movie being streamed, or a text file, containing timecode and text for captioning. I use the the first one, it's just easier for my work flow.
HTML embedded web page, with the proper QT coding.
.SMIL file, which controls the playback of the QT movie and captioning text file or captioning text movie. This file loads both the movie and captioning file in sync and controls where the captioning window is located in relation to the movie window, which is embedded in the html web page.
I know, it seems complicated, but once you have done one, it's easy! If anyone needs more details, I'd be glad to impart more detail.

Vishal,
You can use Application_FormDataEvent to block the add.
Private Sub Application_FormDataEvent(ByRef args As SAPbouiCOM.BusinessObjectInfo, ByRef bubbleEvent As Boolean) Handles MyApplication.FormDataEvent
    If args.BeforeAction Then
      Select Case args.EventType
        Case SAPbouiCOM.BoEventTypes.et_FORM_DATA_ADD

          Dim matrix = DirectCast(form.Items.Item("38"), SAPbouiCOM.Matrix)
          For row = 1 To matrix.RowCount
            ' get ItemCode
            Dim ItemCode = DirectCast(matrix.Columns.Item("1").Cells.Item(row).Specific, SAPbouiCOM.EditText).String
            ' Do a query on inventory or use Company object
            ' If a line is not allowed block adding the order:
            bubbleEvent = False ' order is now blocked!!
