Minimum stock level

Hi all,
        My scenario comes like this ...i have two service center"A" and "B"where i ll maintain some minimum stock level of spare parts.
       each service center will get service arder individually for spare parts.service center's issue spare parts against order from minimum stock level. so i maintained make to stock scenario where order is full filled with minimum stock level.so planning has to cover minimum stock level.so i mapped in safety stock.
      But the safety stock level varies with some period.so i need an upload program of safety stock in period oriented manner.
      then fullfillment of service order also based on priority wise .becas spar parts for that sevice center are obtained from some other plant ...which should maintain a plan which determaine priority to give spare parts to "A" and "B" in percentage of priority
so i require 1.how to go for upload of safety stock with periodically?
                  2.How the priority can be given for allocation to verious service center.?\

Hi,
For upload the safety stock you can use BDC or LSMW.
for periodic upload try through background program with the help of ABAPer.

Access Right for Minimum stock level

Hi all,
I would like to know if there is a way to set access right to enalbe or disable user from modify the minimum stock level in the item master data.
Thank you.

I would like to know if there is a way to set access right to enalbe or disable user from modify the minimum stock level in the item master data.
as I have said, you can use SP_TN to disable some certain users to modify the minimum inventory level value. here is an example:
IF @transaction_type IN ('A', 'U') AND
@Object_type = '4'
begin
if exists (SELECT distinct t0.docentry FROM oitm T0 INNER JOIN oUSR T1 ON T1.internal_k
= t0.usersign
WHERE isnull(t0.minlevel,'') <> '0' and t1.user_code = 'manager')
begin
select @Error = 10, @error_message = 'Min level can not be updated by user manager'
end
end
but I also said that you can use SDK code i.e. SAP B1 addon to disable the users to modify the minimum inventory level field. It is more complicated because you need to use programming language e.g. VB.Net to do that. The programming language will use the B1 DI API as project reference.
You must have SDK development license to develop such addon.

Minimum stock level per warehouse and MRP

Hello experts
We have tested minimum stock level per warehouse and try to use it for the MRP but it seems that the MRP uses for a specific warehouse the consolidated minimum level
For example
WSE 1 minimum stock level 10
WSE 2 minimum stock level 5
MRP runs for WSE 2 recommandation is calculated based on 15 pieces of minimum stock level (WSE 1+2)
Could you please tell me if this is normal behavior and the use of minimum stock level per warehouse is not possible ?

Hi.....
SAP gives recomendation on Overall stock basis and not on Minimum Inventory of Particular Warehouse.
It is standard behavior. But SAP should think of it as it is not right recomendation if someone tries to view it as per warehouse.......

Minimum order level

Hi,
The stock level of all materials in stores are checked everyday.If the stock level falls below the minimum level, a direct purchase order should be placed for procurement of the material. The order quantity is should be to fill the storage to the maximum level. What master settings i have to make for this automatic PO generation for materials if stock level is less than minimum level?
regards
B Shar

hi
First of all you need to maintain
Required Stock Level
Minimum Stock Level
Maximum Stock Level
In the Material Master data
You can use "Reorder point planning"
In reorder point planning, procurement is triggered when the sum of plant stock and firmed receipts falls below the reorder point.
The reorder point should cover the average material requirements expected during the replenishment lead time.
The safety stock exists to cover both excess material consumption within the replenishment lead time and any additional requirements that may occur due to delivery delays. Therefore, the safety stock is included in the reorder level.
The following values are important for defining the reorder point:
Safety stock
Average consumption
Replenishment lead time
The following values are important for defining the safety stock:
Past consumption values (historical data) or future requirements
Vendor/production delivery timelines
Service level to be achieved
Forecast error, that is, the deviation from the expected requirements
Manual Reorder Point Planning
In manual reorder point planning, you define both the reorder level and the safety stock level manually in the appropriate material master.
Automatic Reorder Point Planning
In automatic reorder point planning, both the reorder level and the safety stock level are determined by the integrated forecasting program.
The system uses past consumption data (historical data) to forecast future requirements. The system then uses these forecast values to calculate the reorder level and the safety stock level, taking the service level, which is specified by the MRP controller, and the material's replenishment lead time into account, and transfers them to the material master.
Since the forecast is carried out at regular intervals, the reorder level and the safety stock level are continually adapted to the current consumption and delivery situation. This means that a contribution is made towards keeping stock levels low.

Minimum stock Alert

Hi guys, i need a solution to a query which was raised in a meeting. The purchaser wants an alert if the quantity of stock went within 5% of the minimum stock level. What the user wants is a list emailed to her if ever the quantity drops to this level. The trigger would be if a Sales Order was entered on the system and the order took up that stock. I'm very new to Crystal reports. I have the databases in order to do this, its just the logic to implement it. I've started by using the following databases, fields and formula's:
I have a database field which is 'GDWITM.GDMIN', this is the Minimum Stock Level. So my starting logic would be:
If abs (5/100*{GDWITM.GDMIN}+{GDWITM.GDMIN}) < {GDWITM.GDMIN} THEN
"Please Reorder Items".
Is this wrong. Could you please advise.
Thank You
Edited by: Jonah Higgins on Feb 10, 2009 3:56 PM

Your formula is calculating 105% of the minimum stock level and checking to see if it is less than the stock level. Won't ever happen!
The expression should be something like
If 1.05*{GDWITM.GDMIN} > {on hand - on order} THEN
"Please Reorder Items".
(The abs() function is unnecessary, assuming the minimum order level is above zero...)

Maintaining minimum stock only for few store materials

Dear All,
How can i maintain minimum stock level for few materials.
Can we maintain while creating mat in mm01 @ purc view or i need to do some other settings ?
B/regds,
CB

Hi,
You have to configure the MRP and maintain all the MRP parameter in to Material master.
After that Run the MRP by transection code MD03 , system will create the PR as per the data maintained in to MRP view of Material master.

Report from system on different stock levels-min, max stock levels

hI gURUS,
Is there any Standard Report from SAP system to see on different stock levels-minIMUM stock, maximum stock levels

Hi,
MMBE will not give stock level min and max that is maintained in material master MRP view. I think you need to make a z report for th same or may be through query.

Error Message in Delivery : Quantity falls below minimum inventory level

Version : SBO 2005 A SP01 PL22
Description of Issue: When trying to Add a Delivery you get Error Message: Quantity falls below minimum inventory level [Delivery - Rows - Warehouse Code] [line: 0] [Message 131-14]. You are then unable to Post the Delivery and Print the corresponding Packing List.
Testing Findings: Upon detailed testing of this issue and work with SAP Support it has been determined that the issue is that the Delivery Row Ordered Qty is looking at the OITM In Stock Qty when determining if the full Row Qty can ship instead of the OITW In Stock Qty. This is an issue because due to other "bugs" this Client has encountered their OITW Qtys in other Whses are negative, even though they have the Block Negative Inventory and the Manage Inventory by Warehouse Flags Checked On. This then reduces the OITM Qty below the level of the Delivery Row and you get the above error message.
Example: A Sales Order Row has an Order Qty of 15 for Whse 01 for a particular Item. The OITW In Stock Qty for Whse 01 = 17. The OITW In Stock Qty for Whse 03 = -7. The Block Negative Inventory and Manage Inventory by Whse Flags are both Checked On. The 'Net' OITM In Stock = 10. When you try to Copy the Sales Order to a Delivery and Add the Delivery, you get the above Error Message and it will not allow you to Post the Delivery and Print the Packing List.
Current Workaround: Client is performing Inventory Goods Receipts to bring the In Stock Qtys in the affected Whses to greater than or equal to zero.
Proposed Solution: SAP Development to add logic to SAP Business One to validate the Delivery Row Qtys to Ship against the OITW In Stock Qtys instead of OITM when the Manage Inventory by Whse Flag is checked on.
Supporting Documentation: This DRQ Request relates to Support Message # 864405 2007. All above referenced testing details including example SO#'s, Item #'s, etc. and an entire copy of the Client's database are available and linked to this Message #.

Hi Ramu,
also you can make sure you are choosing the right WH in ctrlshiftS windows if You do, then chek on Inventory -> Inventory report -> inventory status if you have enought and available quantities for the delivery, if you dont then you gonna have to make the PO and the AP Invoice to add more quantity to that item

Restrict PO based on the maximum stock level qty in MMR

Hi
We have maintained Maximum Stock level in MRP1 in Material Master. Is there any facility which can restrict the Purchaser, not to raise any PO more than maximum stock level qty which is maintained in Material Master ??? how to do ?
Is there any user exit or warning mesge settings?
Edited by: Jayakumar Raju A.S on Jan 13, 2010 8:55 AM

If you want do such check then you have to do that in a userexit.
I am personally the opinion that a purchaser does not extend the PO quantity just for fun. Maybe he gets a better price if he procures a little more. It is probably a lack of training and knowledge about each others work, that a buyer does not understand what the maximum stock level is , and the planner may not understand the particular issues a buyer deals with daily.
Bring those two together an let they explain each other the reason for the maximum stock level and the reason why the order quantities are changed. Maybe they will finally change the maximum stock level, maybe the buyer will not change the quantities anmore without discussing it first with the planner......

Customer consignment stock- REPORTING stock level & goods depatched

Hi all
I'm looking for a report (or reports) which shows the following (bare in mind that this will all be customer consignment stock):
- the delivery numbers
- the previous month's stock level
- the quantity of goods despatched the following month with a rolling calculation
- monthly invoice values
- remaining stock levels (after current months goods have been issued and invoiced)
I'm aware that MMBE/ MB58 shows the current stock levels, however I'm hoping there is a report in SE16 which shows it as a report structure.
I understand that this is a lot of info requested by myself however any information would be appreciated.
Thanks
/ Vicky

Dear tortyv,
As per my understanding of the requirement,
You please check the "VL06" report if it satisfies your requirement you enter the execution parameters and execute.
System will give the list of out bound deliveries. Select one of those and click the details icon (ctrlshiftf3) according to the item view or headder view.
If it does't suit you have to go for z report.
I f you want that please provide the input fields in order to fetch the required data for the report.
Thanks&Regards

Goods Issue to increase the stock levels in a plant

Folks,
I am not a MM guy and I am trying to increase the stock levels in a plant using a Goods issue.
1.     Can I do the Goods Issues without reference to a Purchase Order? If so, how can I do this
2.     What are the relevant movement types when GI is made w/o reference to a Purchase Order?
3.     Can GI be made with reference to any other entity/object other than PO?
Thanks

1. Can I do the Goods Issues without reference to a Purchase Order? If so, how can I do this
No u can't ..u have to do Goods receipt for a PO
Raise a PO for the same material and do GR
2. What are the relevant movement types when GI is made w/o reference to a Purchase Order?
u cant do GI for PO
3. Can GI be made with reference to any other entity/object other than PO?
GI aganist cost centre, production order, reservations ....
the easier way to bring in stock of a material is to do intial entry thru MB1C with mvt type 561.

Max stock level and reorder point for all the materials

Dear experts,
Is there any standard mm report that will give the details of max stock level and reorder point details for all the materials?
Thanks in advance,

Your requirement can be pulled from table MARC. I dont think there is a standard report to meet your requirement. You can meet your requirement through SAP Query though.
