Load FIFO Inventory Beginning Balances via DTW

Hello all,
we are trying to load the initial inventory stock of an all FIFO item company in B1 8.8 SP00 PL14 hotfix1.
The OITW StockTaking template does its job via DTW.
But then the Inventory Transactions - Initial Quantities... - Inventory Posting step requires to enter an item price regardless of the price source selection, which seems to defeat the purpose of DTW.
Is this the correct procedure?.
Thanks,
Denes.

Workaround:
create a price list to hold the item cost and select option "By price list" in "Price Source for Whse Inv Posting".
The price field in the next window will be filled with the value from the newly defined price list.
Now we can reconcile without entering the item price manually.

How to extract beginning balances fdmee 11.1.2.3

Been struggling with this with no luck. We need to import ebusiness suite beginning balances via fdmee to Hyperion planning.
FFdmee allows ytd and I can use an adjustment period for previous year to map it to a beginning balance member but ebusiness suite ending balances for bqlance sheet accounts (retained earnings) does not equal the starting balance of the next year. Somehow EBS adjusts the balance and they are different. Anyway fdmee can pull the opening balance without having to create it from taking the prior years ytd balance?? Is there an actual beg bal field I'm just not Seeing?

So on the Retained Earnings piece - is the account tagged as an Asset in EBS?
After you close December (assuming a Jan-Dec year) EBS should be sweeping any profit into Retained Earnings are move that into the starting bal of the next period. Does the balance you are looking at for RE in DEC incorporate the swept profit of the DEC P&L? I would guess that it is not?
Also - for period mapping - try creating one for Period 13 for a Year and pulling that in...

FIFO Inventory valuation without Balance Sheet Valuation

Our business wants to know if they can have real-time FIFO inventory valuation;
At a give point, When we perform and update the material prices through the Balance sheet Valuation - FIFO procedure; system automatically revaluates the inventory at FIFO with offsetting to an expense account.
However, the requirement is to have FIFO real time without performing any month end tasks/ postings to calculate and update the material prices.
Given that the existing material price controls (S and V); Is the above possible ?
With Material Ledger; some of the standard functionalities can be leveraged i,e to have one valuation for std/ actual and the other to have FIFO valuation but the business thinks this is too much of an effort to maintain this functionality. Since, even for this option - the business has to run month end jobs.
Thanks !

Hi
Real time FIFO valuatopn is some thing which would require ML...
however, there are companies who valuated the inventory based on FIFO at period end w/o any use of ML...
I am not very sure as I have never used it - But using MRN9 you can have a comparison of inventory values as per the 2 principles and if you tick "Update Database", it would post to the books....
Please await further replies from the forum members on this...

Load balancing via CHOC12/STS3

Hi, our customer has a connection between 2 x 12012 via the 4 embedded channels of CHOC12/STS3 module.As every subinterface has its own ip-subnet we have 4 equal paths to every destinations.
Customer wants to configure dCEF per-packet load balancing and is concerned if he can get packet sequence problems for his VoIP applications like it may happen on 'normal' equal path cost connections when load balancing per-packet instead of per-destination.
Does anybody know if this can be a concern on the embedded channels ?
Regards Guenther

Generally speaking, for a given source-destination pair, with Per-packet load balancing enabled, packets might take different paths which could introduce reordering of packets. Thus Per-packet load balancing is inappropriate for voice over IP traffic and also for certain other types of data traffic that require packets received to be in sequence. For more information please see
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/iosswrel/ps1828/products_configuration_guide_chapter09186a00800ca62c.html#3589. Whether the CHOC12/STS3 module has some special meachanism built in to take care of this is unknown to me. Per-packet load balancing via CEF is not supported on Engine 2 Gigabit Switch Router (GSR) line cards (LCs).

Beginning Balance and Ending Balance Calculation

Hi all,
I have got a critical requirement for my report.
I have to calculate Opening and Closing Balances for every month
Beginning balance amount of current month = Ending balance amount of previous month.
and Ending Balance = Beginning Balance + Transactions(data available)
My Beginning Balance amount initially will be loaded from Flat file.
For the first month I will go with a calculated Keyfigure and calculate my ending Balance.
Now, this ending balance of current month will be beginning balance of next month.
The problem is for the second month if i want ending balance, how to hold that data, as that is a calculation.
Secondly, if the data is for current period..that's fine, but if i have to see previous months data, how to get it??
Thanks,
Hima.

Make a cell reference to the previous month in your query designer. I don't have any specific information available at this point, but I have done the exact same thing in the past and we could make it working using cell references. There's enough documentation available if you want to know the ins&outs of this.

Initial load of inventory level from csv - double datarows in query

Hello everybody,
a query result shown in a web browser seems strange to me and I would be very glad, if anyone can give me some advice how to solve the problem. As I do not think that it is related to the query, I posted it into this forum.
The query refers to an InfoCube for inventory management with a single non-cumulative key figure and two other cumulative key figures for increase and decrease of inventory. The time reference characteristic is 0CALDAY. The initial load has been processed reading from a flat file (CSV), the structure looks like this:
Product group     XXX
Day               20040101
Quantity          1000
Increase          0
Decrease          0
Unit               ST
The initial load runs fine, the system fills all the record sets into the InfoCube. Unfortunately I do not know how to look at the records written into the cube, because only the cumulative key figures are shown in InfoCube-> Manage-> Contents.
Well, when executing the query, a really simple one, the result is just strange, because somehow there are now two rows for each product group with different dates, one with the 1st of January, 2004 and the other for the 31st of December, 2003 containing both 1000 units. The sum is 2000.
It became more confusing, when I loaded the data for increase and decrease: now the quantities and sums      are correct, but the date of the initial load is a few days later than before, the data table in the query does not contain the 1st of January.
Does anybody know, what I did wrong or where there is information about how to perform an initial load of inventory from csv in a better way?
Kind regards
Peter

Peter,
Inventory is not that straight forward to evaluate as it is non-cumulative. Basically it means that one KF is derived from one/two other KFs. You cannot see non-cumulative KFs in manage infocube.
Have you uploaded opening balances separately? If so, your data for 31st of december is explained.
In non-cumulative cubes, there need not be a posting for a particular day for a record to exist. For e.g. if you have stock as 10 units on 1st and then no posting for 2nd and 3rd and then increase 10 units on 4th, even for 2nd and 3rd, the non-cumulative KF will report as 10 units (stock on 1st rolled forward).
There is a how to...inventory management document on service market place that explains this quite nicely.
Cheers
Aneesh

Cost of Inventory Opening Balance

Dear all,
I understand from the accounting terms that COS = opening stock+purchases-closing stock.
I need to input the cost of inventory (COS)as opening balance. What account should I debit/credit. I have inventory account, Inventory opening balance suspense account, and the GL opening Balance suspense account.
Kind Regards,
Asif

Hi!
When doing a Opening Balance for Stock via Initial Stock Window, System will automatically post a Debit Entry to Inventory Acc which based on the Set G/L Accounts By Inventory Acc you mention in ItemMaster and Credit the Inventory opening balance suspense account (you need to map this on Opening Balance Acc Field on the Screen)

Link Goods receipt with PO via DTW

Hi,
I am uploading the goods receipt via DTW, using the Purchase Delivery templates. I need to link the receipt document with the PO. IS there any way to do it?
TKs
Adriana

Suda,
Tks for your quick response. The test box was not checked. I just did it again and the operation was succesfully but I does not update records in inventory, po and goods receipts.
The PO has two items, first items with 7 serial numbers and the second item with 5 serial items. In the serial template I am entering the serial number in Internal serial , the record key and the Base line numbers , 0 and 1
When I did the test was with only one item. Does this make any difference?
Tks

How to import Incoming Payments via DTW

Hello all,
I am importing opening balances for Customers via DTW. My client wants to import all the open Invoices at their original amount, and then import the incoming payments against them to have them net out to the correct remaining balance. I already know how to import the invoices. I'm looking at using the PaymentDrafts template in DTW for the Incoming payments but I could use some guidance. Can anyone provide and example of the data required to both import the incoming payments and apply them to the appropriate AR Invoice?

Whenever the uploads begins, I always ended-up with this kind of error 'Field cannot be updated (ODBC -1029)Application-defined or object-defined error65171' and this error occurs only for some item. With the data shown above, only Item C1 would have that kind of problem.
And the reason why I wanted to do the update via DTW is I don't want to have an accounting entry for this update.
Is there anybody could explain or help me on this.
Thanks in advance.

I got your point and I'm aware that. I actually assumed that it would be the next subject, but apparently (based from the actual data that I have) for some items even if FrmAvgPrc and ToAvgPrc is the same, DTW upload is ok and for some items that have difference, upload was unsuccessful. And when I chose to eliminate/delete the item that causes the error, upload was successful.
Here is the actual data;

You don't need to worry about 0DF_C07 as it was defence cube not activated during your Business Content Activaiton.
YOu can create your own infopackage for 2LIS_03_BX and there will be option generate intial status.
This loading will create your Opening Balance.
you need to compress this with NO Marker UPDATE option unchecked(as you will have to update hte marker).
After this load movements 2LIS_03_BF and reval 2LIS_03_UM. Compress this with NO MARKER UPDATE option checked.

Problem of create inventory opening balance

hi experts,
i extract the inventory according the document "How to handle inventory management scenarios in BW", i activate the 0IC_C03, and want to load the opening stock balance, but in the infopackage, i cannot find the "create opening balance" option, what's the problem? pls help.
thanks.

Hi,
After activation of infocube, do setup at source(R/3) for initial stock balances and load data using datasource: 2lis_03_BX and compress WITH marker update.
Later setup moments and load data using datasource: 2lis_03_bf and compress WITH OUT marker updated.

Updating Serial # Location via DTW???

Hi, we recently had to relocate some inventory from one location to another. During initial upload we populated the serial # location during goods receipt. I now need to change that location for about 100 serial numbers. Is there a way to do this via DTW?

Hi Joe........
Location field for Serial or Batch No. details is editable and you can edit it anyhow but only by going through Inventory> Inventiory Management> Serial/Batch Details and which you can not update through DTW.
But SAP allows you to enter the correct location while uploading data through DTW of Marketing docs.
But unfortunately you cannot update the location through DTW where you want to update it. You have to do it one by one manually........

Rahul
