Movement Type in Inventory Management Cube

Hello Guys,
I am new to the area of Invenotry Management. I have seen the How to Guide and blogs by Surendra for Inventory Management scenarios.
One of initial doubt is that the cube 0IC_C03 does not have Movement Type. As per the blog, we can define transaction keys in BW but how do I pull it in my Cube. Is ehnacing the extract strcuture BF the only option? If yes, what logic do we follow to add movement type to BF?
Also as per SAP Note, we cannot enhance BX to include movement type. So would it create a problem if BX does not have a movement type and BF has?
Looking forward to solutions
Thanks n Regards,
Abhishek

Dear John
The movement type has important control functions in Inventory Management.
For example, the movement type plays an important role in
=> updating of quantity fields
=> updating of stock and consumption accounts
=> determining which fields are displayed during entry of a document in the system

New Goods Movement Type for Inventory Manager

Hi Guys,
I need to change a goods movement code used on Mobile App Inventory Manager 4.0 to a custom (Z) goods movement code, the fileds are the same so I thought changing the constant will work for this as we do a GoodReceipt with no reference to Purchase nor Production order (gmCode = 501) with a custom, copied from standard, Movement type gmCode = 950 (this is a well known practice on ERP). I have changed only the global constant on my copied IM application, for testing purpose and the local GR was created with gmCode = 950 instead of gmCode = 501, but when I was transmiting in order to create goods movement document on SAP, the application throws an error like: "PostReceiptsSteplet - Goods Movement Impossible with good movement type 950 - Server error". So I would like to know first:
If is it possible to include or change the standard gmCode for custom gmCode on mobile app Inventory Manager 4.0?
What would it be the Best Practice to do this? The steps to include a custom movement type, now I know is not only changes on global constants
I have checked the java doc for this method "PostReceiptsSteplet", and it did not say anything about the constructor .... or how is used... what has inside... what is the condition of execution.... nothing ...
Please Help... Mark Pe Stephen Streeter Jason Latko Omar Candelaria Manju Venkatesha

If those java source code are so troublesome to request... why should I request them if I won't change the app's base functionality??. Instead of requesting those java source code, the documentation of the java doc should improve, well the documentation in general for this app should improve ... Is only a suggestion ... I'm trying very hard not to ask for those source code, because what Mark Pe answer me on another post: If I ask for them, a disclamer must be signed because I could change a base functionality... and that's perfectly fine. But if I need to extend a class and add a few field: why do I need to ask for the code instead of checking the documentation and apply the customization needed?
Now I have some trouble extending a SAPOBJECT, because I don't quite understand the design of how you manage MaterialDocument / MaterialDocumentItem on the app. But I will post this question on another thread

Regarding Movement types in Inventory dataloading

Hi Experts,
I have loaded the data for Inventory management cube 0IC_C03.
while doing validation some materials are matching and some are not matching,and i found the issue in BI i,e some of the movement types 101,102are missing in BI.
can anyone of please guide me the step by step for inventory dataloading.So,that i will reload the data and check.
Please do the needful.
Thanks
lakshmi

Sorry!! It's not clear what you are saying
What I understand is : you are not able to see Mov types = 101,102 in Cube ... right?
Did you check in PSA as mentioned in my earlier post ?
Check start routines if any are filtering Mov types = 101,102

Queires on Non-Cumulative Inventory Management Cube 0IC_C03 Not Working

Hello all.
I am trying to use the 0IC_C03 Inventory Management cube with non-cumulative key figures. I followed the How to...Handle Inventory Management Scenarios in BW paper to a tee.
Steps I followed:
1. Ran initialization of beginning balance with 2LIS_03_BX
2. Ran the historical job with 2LIS_03_BF
3. Uploaded to BW the Initialization (BX) and compressed without setting the "No Marker Update" flag
4. Uploaded the historical movements (BF) and compressed setting the "No Marker Update" flag
Now, to this point, everything was fine. Quantities were as expected. Dollar values were as expected. The problem occurs once I load deltas:
5. Loaded delta for 2LIS_03_BF and compressed without setting the "No Marker Update" flag as instructed in the How To... paper
Query example:
MATERIALA:
Initial Stock Balance = 1000 EA
Delta had stock issue of 150 EA (so the stock balance should have decreased from 1000 to 850)
Now, I have the record in BW showing the stock issue of 150. However, the non-cumulative key figure within the query still shows 1000. And when I drill down by calendar day, I would expect the result to show 850, but it seems to add the 150 before taking it away resulting in 1000 which is actually the initial stock balance. It is like it is not recognizing the updates.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Brent

Hi!
Here is what helped in my case, very similar to your:
In DTP for 2lis_03_bx (not only in infopackage, as it is said in manual!) you have to change "Extraction Mode" parameter to "Initial Non-cumulative for Non-cumulative values"

Missing content for inventory management (cube 0IC_C03)

Hi everybody,
I installed the following BI content for inventory management: Cube 0IC_C03, InfoSource 2LIS_03_BX and transfer rules from data source 2LIS_03_BX to info source 2LIS_03_BX. However, I'm not able to the update rule from info source 2LIS_03_BX to info cube 0IC_C03. I can only find the old update rule 0IC_C032LIS_40_S278 -> 0IC_C03.
I also couldn't find the update rule for material movements from 2LIS_03_BF to infocube 0IC_C03.
How can I find this missing content. We are using BI Content Release 704 Level 1.
Thanks for your help!

Hi Oscar,
unfortunately, I was not able to find a transformation for the datasource migrated to 7.0.
Btw, how do I determine to which version data sources are replicated. I have an underlying ECC6.0 system. When I replicate all data sources for that source system, datasources automatically show up as 7.0. I'm missing the pop-up question whether or not I want to replicate as 3.5 or 7.0.
Thanks in advance!

Stock Valuation - Inventory Management Cube

Dear Sap Gurus,
We have implemented the Inventory Management Cube in BW.
Quantities are correct, but we have difference on the stock valuation.
For some material stock value are correct, for some other they are not correct.
A saw a lot of OSS notes and how to on this subject, I am trying to solve this issue using these documents, but based on your experience could you explain me how you solved this issue ????
Thanks,

Hi
Did you follow the correct steps?
Initialisation of BX data in the first step.(Loading of Opening Stock)
Then The request in which the opening stock was loaded must always be
compressed with a marker update
Init load of BF And UM in the second step
The request in which the historical material documents were contained
must always be compressed without a marker update and
Successive delta uploads must always be compressed with marker
updates
Check this whether you have done this or not.
Because of missing the steps here also would give you wrong values,
Regards
Ram

Inventory Management Cube 0ic_c03, 0StockType

In the Inventory Management Cube 0ic_c03 queries,I've found that 0StockType has descriptions that are misleading because of the way they are written in domain bstaus (R3 side), especially when seeing the key and SHORT description (truncated beyond meaning).
OK I can correct these by changing BStaus 's texts.
The main changes I'd do are for the Customer Consigment, Customer Return Packaging and Material Provided to Vendor descriptions.
But what does 0StockType 'blank' (or #) mean ?
(It seems to mean something like Valuated Stock Valuation and 'Not Defined' is not very good in a Query result)

Well, no one replied, but I got feedback from OSS. So just in case anyone is interested.....
I had to use r3 > se11 to change the domain descriptions myself.
Bstaus 'blank' I put as 'Valuation'
I also improved some of the Bsttyp descriptions whilst there

Material Movement Types in Inventory

Hi All,
I am a BI person and have extremly limitted knowledge in the area of MM. I am working on an inventory valuation project and I need some larification on movement types. I have receipts, issues and adjustments. I have the following questions.
1. On receipts I have both GR (101) and GR reversal for PO (102) is there. SUppose 101 is 10 and 102 is 2, my receipts result is 8. Am I correct? There are many different sets of receipts and reversals exist in my installation.
2. The same is true in the case os issues. GI for cost center (201) and RE for cost centers (202). Total issue here is the difference between 201 and 202. Is this assumption correct?
3. In the case of adjustments, is it adjustments to receipts and issues. In otherwords certain adjustments will increase receipts and certain will decrease issues.eg 701 GR physcial inventory -warehouse and 702 GI physical inventory warehouse. 701 quantity need to be added with receipts and 702 quantity to be added with issues. Is this assumption correct?
4. When initializing stocks (Opening balance) everything is like stock in hand. Can I treat them as GR into inventory?
5. What is valuated and Non-valuated stocks?
understanding these will help me matching ECC and BI reports.
Thanks,
Alex.

Hi Alex,
As per my knowledge
1. GR(102) is reversal to GR(101) i.e. how much u receive in 101 that all is to reverse via 102. .i.e. if GR is of 10 Qty then by 102 whole qty will be reversed.
Change Oty is done only with 122 - return to the vender.
2. But in case of Issue it is not true as above mentioned. if u have to change Qty while giving back with 202.
3. Yes, while Initial stock, it is GR, MB1C or MIGO with 561. maintain the price in MR21.
4. Valuated Stock is used in material Requirement planning but other is not.

About archiving BW Inventory Management cubes

Hi everyone!
I would like to know what a marker in Inventory Management (BW) is. This question comes from the following: I need to archive a IM cube, and it presents the following option:
Stocks:
Only transactions
Transactions and Markers
I don't know what a marker is, so I'm kinda lost here...
Any help would be greatly appreciated (and rewarded, ofc!).
Best Regards,
Luís.

Hi,
Marker is fairly simple, you will get the details also on help.sap.com with more detailed explanation.
In a brief here is what i can tell you :
1. The marker is set on a specific date and the value of the inventory KF( NON CUMULATIVE KF) the value on that particular date is stored in the cube.
2. Since Inventory is working on the non cumulative method the difference is calculated since DAY 1. but with Marker the difference is calculated from the day of marker.
Hence it helps in retrieving faster results.
Let me know if you want more information.

Den

ODS with Movement type in Inventory

Hi,
I have loaded the data into the ODS 0CM_DS03 for detailed stock reports with movement types.For some of the movement type quantity value showing two/multiple times with each stock types A,B,Q etc.
In the ODS update rule 2LIS_03_BF for the quantity keyfigure do I need to use any routines for process keys(as like in 0ic_c03).
Please help with your suggestions/inputs.
Thanks,
Soujanya

If you activate standard update rule for cube 0ic_c03 and 2lis_03_bf extractor, there already is some routines implemented in it. Check if they cover your requirement.

Missing movement type data in 0IC_C03 cube

Hi Gurus ,
i have deltas running for 0ic_c03 cube in B1 7.0 i have used transformations for loading cube .
In a report of this cube for plant material stock, i can c the quantities matching with MB51 report of R/3 where as the values are not matching for sum material ( negative stock values with 0 qtys )
i found that a movement type 121 data is missing in BW
i have read thread on the forum suggesting to work on OMJJ transaction and make 121 movement type as statistics relevant.
But i want to know how this action will effect on R/3 update controlling ?
any inputs will b a grt help
Edited by: Rajesh Dalwadi on Jan 13, 2009 12:09 PM

Hi,
We faced lot of problems with missing movement type, fo that we taken correct confirmation from MM team and then added it in Update Rules and deleted the data in Cube and then Re-Initialized the Cube.
To do this, you need ECC Down Time. I'm talking about BW 3.5. I think in BI7, it may be easy, (without taking down time, pls check).
Thanks

Configuration of Output Type within Inventory Management

Hi Experts,
I am on ECC 5.0 and have a following requirement.
I need to create a output type for printing the material documents. There is a requirement that, newly created output type should be only used by given Company code and Plants under it. In other words, need to restrict use of this output type by Company Code.
I was initially thinking of creating new (by copying standard ofcourse ) Condition Table and Access Sequence, reading documentation help on their config nodes, I understood that SAP does not recommend to create new Condition table for fields like Plants, Storage Location. Printer determination can be restricted on Plant and Storage location level, but my issue is regarding restricting use of outuput type itself.
Can anybody suggest please?
Thanks and Regards,
Amit

Hi Charlie,
Thanks again, thats very nice of you.
According to help document on this node and the config which goes into this node, it seems that this node controls only "printer determination" for the combinatin of O/p Type, Plant and Storage Location, Whereas my requirement is to restrict the use of O/P type itself per Plant and not the Printer. Can you please address this?
Looking forward for you kind reply.
Best Regards,
Amit

How to get average stock in the inventory management cube?

Dear all,
I need to get average stock for a month.
For example: stock on May 1st is 30kg, stock on May 2nd is 20kg,etc. I need to add these everyday stock together and divided by the days of the month.
Now I have a non-cumulative key figure with inflow and outflow for stock. Is any way I can do this without bringing very bad performance?

Info Structure S031 - Information on movement type categories

How can I find out the movement type categories for the S031 info structure? For instance what movement types add to the "Goods receipt" total or the "Goods issue" total. Also, how do you "switch off the updating process for specific, individual movements" as mentioned in the SAP documentation below.
The SAP documentation says:
"Goods movements are divided into the following types:
Goods receipt
Goods issue
Stock transfer
Transfer posting
Inventory differences
You can switch off the updating process for specific, individual movement types in inventory management or in one of the subsequent applications in the logistics chain."

Hi Sherry,
I had similar requirement. You have two options:
1. Just as you've known you can use the field "Statistically relevant".
With this indicator, you control whether a movement type is statistically relevant for Inventory Controlling or not.
In the standard system, all movement types are set in such a way that all material movements for the valuated stock and for the vendor consignment stock are updated.
2. You can define by statistic group:
As of Release 3.0C, there is a customer-specific enhancement that enables you to define a maximum of 4 statistics groups for each movement type. The name for the statistics group has four digits and is freely definable. With the help of the statistics group, you can individually update key figures of Inventory Controlling.
Example: Key figure Consumption and Range of coverage
In table T156, the movement types are characterized as relevant to consumption. Consumption is correspondingly updated in Inventory Controlling. In the information system, it can be useful for the user to interpret issue quantities (that is actually no consumption) as consumption in order to calculate the range of coverage of the material.
Example: A material is always transported into another plant by stock transfer. In the issuing plant, no range of coverage can be calculated because the stock removal quantity is not affecting consumption (movement type 351).
What is to be done in detail?
a) Maintain table TMCA via Transaction SM31.
b) Use SAP enhancement MCB10001 for Inventory Controlling.
Here, you can change the field contents of communication structures MCBEST and MCBEST according to your requirements.
In the above-mentioned example, the source code in the SAP enhancement would have to be as follows:
LOOP AT XMCMSEG.
* Kommunikationsstruktur Bestandscontrolling
IF XMCMSEG-STGRP1 = '1234'.
* Statistikgruppe 1234
* Menge Gesamtverbrauch
XMCMSEG-MGVBR = XMCMSEG-MENGE.
MODIFY XMCMSEG.
ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.
Please let me know if this helps you.
Regards,
Shawn.
