MI31: Physical inventory through batch mngt

Hi All,
We are using MI31 for our engg stores material in aplant with fixed storage descriptions. But when we try and create the list its coming as no list to be displayed.
We have checked the following:
1) No previous physical inventory document is open for these materials
2) The materials are not in use.
3) We are able to create the physical inventory document manually using MI01.
Please could anyone advise what else can we look for in the same.
Thanks in advance.

I guess you had already counted the materials in this year.
Hence you have to switch a default setting in the selection of MI31.
Open the section ACCtoSTCK.
tick the boxes for incl. already counted materials and already counted batches

There is no config missing. MI31 takes the stock of those materials, for which previously no Physical Inventory has taken place.
Just check those materials.

Physical Inventory Problem

Hi Gurus
Presently I am doing the physical inventory thru Batches.
the process is : MI31 MI24 MI04 MI20 MI07
My client want physical inv stock in to one batch only. So i can count all batches stock put in to one batch.
if i did like that wht is the impact after posting the inventory.
I mean i recd the stock in diff batches. I posting the stock in to one batch
perticular mm point of you what is the problems.
Regards
Laxman

Hi
What are the characteristics you are using in batch status?
For Ex: If your batch contains SLED as one characteristic then posting all batch stock to one batch will be a big mistake..
Generally batch change is avoided because we are maintaining batch concept for distinguishing the product on ceratain parameters (characterisitcs).
Thanks

Reg: physical inventory

in continuous inventory are the stocks counted on a balance sheet key date and is it based on cycle counting indicator. i am not able to understand about continuous physical inventory. plz explain
thank you

Dear,
Well the Physical Inventory is a big easy task to perform if everything understood perfect, In simple for the points you mentioned:
Continuous Physical Inventory
In the continuous physical inventory procedure, stocks are counted continuously during the entire fiscal year. In this case, it is important to ensure that every material is physically counted at least once during the year.
Cycle Counting
Cycle counting is a method of physical inventory where inventory is counted at regular intervals within a fiscal year. These intervals (or cycles) depend on the cycle counting indicator set for the materials.
The Cycle Counting Method of Physical Inventory allows fast-moving items to be counted more frequently than slow-moving items.
So, you can plan continuous physical inventory through basing on fixed Cycle counting indicator (i.e monthly / quarterly / half yearly) before balance sheet key date.

Physical Inventory & Cycle Couting for Batch Managed Materials

Hi Friends, pls help me on this scenario
Physical Inventory
For a Batch Managed Materials we have hundreds materials and thousands of batches (each batch is equally imp)
So the first step would be
Create the documents with MI31 Batch Input session
Post the count with MI34 Batch Input Session
See the difference in MI37
MIDO we get to c the physical inventory overview.
correct me if i am wrong
Cycle Count
This is a seasonal Business and ABC analysis based on requirements n Consumption doesn't work for this process. Is there any way that we can configure the system in SAP which has the ability to fulfill the following scenario.
They shud be able to select a % of materials from the storage for every month and that way they shud finish counting all of them at the end of their season. Not based on any criteria, just a part of materials ...
hope i am clear on the requirement..please suggest me something
thanks

No, it will not match, it will create its own document in background.
Why do you have one created if you dont want to do a selection ?
You cannot create a document for 1000 materials and then only count 30.
You either create a document for 30 and count 30 and enter it with MI04, or you dont create a document with SAP, count based on any other paperwork and enter the count as I said with MI09.

Problems with Batch Number in WM Physical Inventory

I am trying to troubleshoot a client that has the following scenario:
1. Material in storage bin doesn't have batch number
2. Batch management has been activated.
3. A physical inventory document was created for the location where the material is.
4. The physical inventory has been counted.
5 When trying to write off differences in LI20 it is giving an error to enter a batch number.
I understand clearly that the system is interpreting that the batch number is required and missing in master data. I am not able to modify batch number for the quant in LS22.
The implications behind deactivating batch number right now would be too complicated and not the right procedure either.
What is the correct procedure in this case?
Thanks!

Hi José, I do not think your point 2 can be right. If a user tries to switch on batch management when there is stock or any open transactional data (POs, Sales orders etc) the SAP throws an error. The only way to activate BM with stock in hand is, as Jurgen has pointed out, through a report or a direct table update that causes inconsistencies.
That said, please have a look at the below document. It details the report provided by SAP to deactivate/activate BM with stock. Please use them with the utmost caution, carefully reading all the disclaimers given by the author, before performing these steps to avoid further inconsistencies.

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.
Thanks,
Ajay Audich
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,
Canna Mu

Issue in MI31 Transaction - Physical Inventory Document

Hi All,
We are creating Physical Inventory documents using MI31 transaction for all storage locations by passing Material and plant.
We are getting error message as " A system error has occured while locking". We are getting this message only for a particular storage location (Floor Stock) of the plant.
We dont know if this is a Database locking issue.
Any pointers to the problem will be definitely appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Need to Block storage location through physical inventory process

Hello My client want to Block few storage locations not through authorisation objects but using physical inventory process.
can this be achieved through any configuration settings so that when we run physical count the SLoc blocks till the count completes & posted.or Any other method to block Sloc.
Please guide me on this.

Hi,
You can use check box of "Posting block" in physical inventory document. Posting block indicates that no goods movements involving the materials listed in the physical inventory document can be posted for the duration of a physical inventory count.The indicator is set for the affected stocks in each case for all associated stock types and is not cancelled until the count results are posted.The blocking indicator can be set in one of two ways:
A.Directly upon entry of the physical inventory document (if the count is to take place immediately)
B.Shortly before the count (if the count is to take place later)

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.
Regards,
Sundar.
