MI31: Cannot Create Physical Inventory Document for a Certain Material

Dear SAP MM Friends,
Greetings! I am a budding MM functional analyst in our company. I received a call earlier regarding with transaction code MI31 (Selected Data for Physical Inventory Documents w/o Special Stock). The user cannot generate a physical inventory document for a certain material.
The thing is, we no longer have any stock for this material (MMBE). I tried generating physical document again by ticking "Only Materials with Zero Stock" but to no avail.
May I ask what might be the reasons behind? Your prompt response is highly appreciated.
Thank you very much.
Best Regards,
Albert

Hi,
Please check also the existing physical inventory document for material, probably you still have active physical document from previous period.
1. Go to MI22 --> select your plant, storage location or you can also specify your material number --> execute.
2. Check your Physical Document list, at field Status doc. --> if the status is Doc. active, but it is not in your current period, then it could be the problem.
3. Delete the physical inventory doc that you found in step 2 (use tcode MI02 --> physical doc, year --> choose delete button)
4. Try to create new physical document for the material.
hope this help.

Can we create Physical inventory document for SO stock (E stock)?

Hi,
Can we create Physical inventory document, enter count, then post different for SO stock (E stock)?
I try these, after post the different, system does not make any adjustment on my stock quantity.
How can we do these? I wish to zerorize my SO stock quantity. It was a mistake created earlier.
Thanks

Hi,
Thanks for your helps.
I try, after I run batch input, where can I know the Physical Inventory Document created via SM35?
And I try MI01 with indicate E special stock indicator, it allow to put SO number and SO line item.
Can I know what is different by using MI01 and MIE1? When we will using MIE1?
Thank you.

Physical inventory document - for all A parts

Hi,
We are in the process of preparing our system for physical inventory count for all A parts (Cycle count indicator is A).
1. We ran MI24 to get all open physical inventory documents.(they are around 100).
2.Then we ran MI31 (didn't create batch input) for all A parts and the following are checked - 1. Material marked for deletion 2. only materials w/o zero stock 3. Unrestrcited use 4. Blocked 4. Include inventoried materials 5. Included inventoried batches. The variant for MI31 includes all A parts in the material selection and the required plant and SL are input. The output said, phy inventory documents could be created for 656 materials.
3. I wrote a query with MARC and MARD to get all A parts with unrestricted quantity > 0 for the above specified plant and SL. The list produced 882.
The above two counts are not matching.
I ran MI31 for some of the materials which are in the list materials as per point 3 but not in the above 2. But MI31 said, no physical inventory document can be created.
We want to make sure both the both numbers are equal (step 1 + 2 = step 3), to make sure all A parts will be counted. Can anyone explain why they are not matching? or Am I missing something?
OR any other ways to make sure all A parts will be counted. Thanks,
Regards,
Sundar.

Please refer my comment. It may be useful for you.
There are two ways if you want to carry out Physical Inventory count
1)Manual -
First check if there are no open PI document for a material using MI31.
Then carry out three transactions one after another MI01, MI04, MI07
2) Automatic
Maintain CC physical inv. indicator in material master i.e A, B, C
Before that ensure that you have maintained SPRO setting for A, B and C.
Ok Now check the planned count date in MARC table. Run a Z program to change the last count date
Now run MICN and schedule a job to create PI documents

Error while creating physical inventory document with zero count

Hi,
I am trying to create a physical inventory document for a material that has zero stock and that is not batch managed but I am geting an error as below.
"Item 001: No batches that can be included in phys. inv. exist.(Message no. M7701)"
This error occurs only for one or two materials.
I am able to create the physical inventory document for other materials which is also zero stock and there is no batch managed for the same.
Can anyone pls advice.
Regards,
Ramya

hi
if your material is split valuated, but not batch managed, then the split valuation type is shown in field batch number. And...it is a batch then.
To be able to do a zero count you have to have a batch record whose batch number is the valuation type.
If you never had stock in the storage location you want count, then you have to
1. extend the material to this storage location with MMSC
2. create the batch record with MSC1N for this storage location.

Creating Physical Inventory Documents using batch job in WM

We use transaction LX26 to create the physical inventory documents for the storage bins and the materials therein. and the new PI dates are proposed based on the cycle count indicators configured.
We want to automate the creation of physical inventory documents using a batch job. How can we achieve this?
I understand that the program RM07ICN1 generates PI documents only when materials are managed at IM levels and this does not work for WM. Is there any other standard program which can be set up in batch to create the PI documents for the materials at WM level? If there is something then please let me know details....
Thanks,

I entered following details,
WH no.
Storage Type
Inventory in Period (One year date range)
Inventory Count date (Today's date)
The output in spool shows me the following,
No of Records Passed ;Quant Information; InventoryProposal; Later / block; Bin Information; Empty bins; Inventory active
The list of storage bin, material, description & inventory date is also displayed.
Description has Scheudled and Overdue and the inventory date is some dates in next months.
It doesnt show anywhere that inventory document is generated.Please note that I had not selected the Activate Inventory List check box because I just want the system to auto create the inventory documents based on the logic of cycle count indicators.

Physical Inventory Document for Materials in Transfer Storloc

Hi!
Just want to ask how can you capture materials that are in transit/transfer storage location (313 movt.) when creating Physical Inventory Documents? The material is somehow floating since 315 movt is still pending during PID creation.
Book value is zero for both sending and receiving storage locations.

Hi DB,
It is always practiced that, any movements of goods in and out of the storage location be blocked till the results are posted. This means only the Physically available stocks are put for phy inv counting process, thus transit stocks aren't accounted. You can resume the count after the GR of the transit stocks.
The very purpose of phy inv is to check the correctness of the physical stock keeping.

Error in posting Inventory documents for a serialized material

hi.,
Can someone update me the reason for:
1. Error in posting inventory documents for a serialized material
What are the steps to be followed during the
1. Creation of Serialized material
2. Creating a Purchase document for a serialized material
3. Generating a G/R for a serialized material.
4. Generating an inventory document for a serialized material.
Any update is much appreciated.

Hello Mahesh,
Let me try to answer your queries.
1. Generally, how does the flow of Cycle counting go w.r.t to the Indicators A.B.C and D which has been configured in OMCO.
Would that be as per the Consumption/usage of the materials?
The following link will help to understand the cycle count process
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/en/4d/2b8e3d43ad11d189410000e829fbbd/frameset.htm
2. How are the indicators of A,B,C,D to be set up for the other materials in the particular plant which have not been fixed as CC.
If you run the MIBC (Set ABC indicator) report, it will automatically set the ABC indicator based on your selection parameter.
3. How does the system take up the inventory count for materials that have not been flagged as CC Fixed.
Cycle counting inventory will be carried out only for the material with ABC indicator for cycle count, if you exclude the material from MIBC report or manual ABC setting then that material will not be considered under cycle count when you execute MICN report to create cycle count inventory doc.
4. How does the sytem take up the inventory count for materials for materials which have been flagged as Fixed.
Material with CC fix indicator means when MIBC report will not change CC indicator for that material with fix indicator, so when you run MICN report at that time system will take last inventory date from MARD table for that material and calculate the next due date based on ABC indicator in material.
Hope this helps.

Is it possible to generate an inventory document for one material via MIE1 , for 1 material code , splited by serial number ? like if I have 5 serial numbers to one mateiral code I want to generate 5 material documents.
Best regards,

Hi,
Why dont you use T-coe MI01 and go extras and selct collective processing, it should give an option to enter more than five serial numbers.

Cannot create an accounting document for year-end-closure

Good morning,
I am dealing with an urgent issue related to the year-end-closing.
The accounting document cannot be created because the account 9600700000 does not exist in standard chart of accounts.
The system wants to pick up an account which is used by the chart of accounts of the country CAGR. This is used for the analytical ledger at the end of the month.
When I compare it with another example which was posted correctly, I see that the account 9600700000 was used in the Special ledger.
Do you have any idea how to create the accounting document?
Thank you very much.
Kind regards,
Linda

Reason for variance in Physical Inventory document for WM

Hi Team,
My client wants to implement WM.
They want to maintain the reason for variance at the time of entering count for physical inventory or clearing difference.
I have checked but this field is not there in any of the transaction codes used for WM - Physical inventory.
I need you help to find out the standard way if there is some OR work around any of you has used.
Thanks in advance for all your help.

Multiple physical inventory document active for same material-storage locat

hi experts,
I am using transaction code MI31 for creating physical inventory document for all materials at a particular warehouse(storage location). User is selecting direct generation of of PI documents in the transaction. If by mistake he presses execute button more than once system is creating as many copies of physical inventory documents. As per ERP system logic it sound very wrong to have multiple physical inventory document active for same material-storage location ( no batches or special stocks exist ).
Is there a message number or some standard setting to prevent such occurrence.
regards
Avinash

Hi,
Syetem won't create again physical inventory document, if allready PI is active for the same part number, plant, storage location & batch/valuation type.
Check your PI documnets

How to populate list of materials in IM level Physical Inventory document?

Hi,
Suppose we have maintained 1000 materials in storage location ABCD. Now when I undertake physical inventory process at IM level, I have to create physical inventory document for this storage location ABCD and I will have to input all these 1000 materials manually for count process in the document.
Is there any other way whereby if I select the storage location, all the materials which are maintained in this location will get automatically populated in the physical inventory document.
Thanks in advance,
Sanjog

Hello,
SAP provides standard transaction MI31 to create Physical inventory documents. In the selection screen, you may enter your storage location to include all materials of that location.

Physical inventory document creation - MI31

Hi,
We are trying to create a physical inventory documents for certain number of materials, but some of them have only 0 stock and we don't want the list contains the materials with 0 stock. We would like to use MI31 so that we could generate phy. inventory documents. We try to use the check box 'only material w/o zero stock'. But once this is selected we always get the following error mesasge.
No materials for physical inventory found
Message no. M7 198
If we don't check this box, all the materials are selected including 0 stock materials. I checked OSS notes but could find some, but all are applied already. The selected materials don't have active phy. inventory document and have stock > 0 and these materials are valuated and not sales stocks.
If anyone has gone thru this issue, please let me know why it is happening.
Regards,
Sundar.

We cannot use MICN as it could be used to create document on the cycle count date only. We want to create the phy inv document whenever we want to count, so SAP recommended to use MI31 instead of MICN, Also, I checked the OSS notes, it says from SAP release 600, we are in release 46b and the program that they mentioned in the OSS notes is not available in our system.

Sundar.
