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

Posting differences to multiple physical inventory documents at a time

We recently completed a full physical inventory and are now needing to post our differences. Our business area decided to create our physical inventory documents with only one material number, so now we have a very long list of documents whose differences need to be posted. We were using MI20 to post the differences but it requires that you step through and save the posting for each document in the list (you can pull up the entire list and you don't have to make actually enter the document numbers, but you do have to hit "save" each time which is time consuming since we have so many.)
Is there another transaction that can be used to post all differences for a range of document numbers or do we need to have a developer create a BDC program that would accomplish this?
Thanks and advance for your help.

Hi
You can post the differences through MI37, enter PID number and choose status set for phys.inv.documents and enter posting date.
Thanks

Physical inventory document creation for split valuated material

Hi
We are doing stock count in our company. We are using split valuation for some of the materials. When I tried to create a PID for split valuated material which are not in stock, system issued a standard error message. What I understood from that error message, we can create a PID for split valuated materials which are in stock. Is it so? If so, then how can we count split valuated material?
Let me know if you need any info.
Thanks in advance..
Jeny...

Please refer to SAP note 30254 and it should help.
Symptom
If you create a physical inventory document for a material in a storage
location without existing storage location segment, error message M7006
is displayed: 'Material & (material number) & (plant) & (storage
location) does not exist'. Thus, a storage location segment is not
created automatically for this material.
The same also applies to the batch segment. The batch segment is also
not created automatically but, if a batch is specified for a material
when creating a physical inventory document, that is not yet created for
this material, error message M7042 is generated: 'Batch & & & & does not
exist'.
The same applies to the special stock segments which are also not
created automatically. Different error messages are generated here
depending on the special stock (see also Note 64448).
Additional key words
MI01, MI09, MI10, M7076, M7183, M7184, M7185, MARD, MCHA, MCHB, MSKA,
MKOL, MSKU, MSPR, MSLB
Cause and prerequisites
If no storage location segment or batch segment or special stock segment
exists to a material, this then means that a goods movement did never
occur before in the system to this material (batch) to this storage
location (special stock), that is that the material (batch) never had a
stock to this storage location (special stock) in the system before and
that it was never posted before on this segment. It is therefore not
possible to carry out a physical inventory for such a material (batch).
It is different, if a goods movement has already occurred to a material
(batch) to this segment and if only the present stock is zero. A
physical inventory is then necessary and also feasible for this material
(batch) since the different segments are not deleted automatically in
the moment in which the stock becomes zero.
Solution
For a material for that no storage location segment, batch segment or
special stock segment exists, it is not necessary, to carry out a
physical inventory on this storage location or for this batch or this
special stock. If, however, a quantity is physically found to such a
material, the corresponding segment must be created before the physical
inventory.
There are 3 options to create storage location data:
       - maintain the 'Storage' view in the material master for the
          material and storage location or
                                                                  Page 2
       - use the 'Enter storage locations' function in the material
          master or
       - post the first goods receipt (providing, the automatic
          creation of storage location data is permitted in the plant
          and for the movement type).
There are 2 options to create batch data}:
       - create the batches in the material master manually via
          function 'Create batch'.
       - post the first goods receipt for the batches to the respective
          material.
You can only post the various special stock segments via posting a goods
receipt. An exception is special stock 'K' (vendor consignment). You
must define a consignment price in the material master for this special
stock using the 'Create vendor consignment' function before a goods
receipt can be posted for this special stock.

Physical inventory document created for Cycle counting

There are lot of physical inventory documents are created for materials around 2500 automaticallly
I have checked all MMR for materials, all these material set with cycle counting indicator 3 which mean that 25 pdhysical inventories and 10 physical intervels.
I have checked batch input but i did not any found batch input posted for this..
How the physical inventory documents are created automatically for these materilas.
Plz thorugh some light on me..

Hi
There is a process for creating the physical inventory document of your inventory. The lines are separately created for each product batch.
Probably the process will be scheduled and therefore it is executed and created the document.

Physical Inventory Movement Block not Rest at Storage Location Level

Hi,
We are facing a typical problem in our Production System and the issue is as follows:
1. We have created a Physical Inventory Document for a material with Freeze Book Inventory and Posting Block indicators.
2. We completed the count and entered the same with reference to the PI Document.
3. We reconciled and posted the differences in the system.
4. We still find that in Material Master the Physical Inventory block for material movements was not reset automatically at the Storage Location stock view.
Please help us urgently as all our Goods movements for this material are held up.
Thanks

Hi,
I am able to see 4 PIDs in MI22 for my material.
2 docs pertaining to the latest Annual Physical Inventory in 2010.
These documents are for the same material in the same plant but for different Storage Locations. Out of which when i see the Material Master - Storage Location view, i see that the Physical Inventory Block "X" is set for one of the Storage Locations.
The PID for the Storage Location with this Physical Inventory Block for Movements indicator, is already settled (Count done and no differences in physical and book stock in this storage location).
The problem persists and i need to remove the posting block which was not reset.

Post Handling Unit Physical Inventory Document

Hi Experts,
Is there a BAPI or a FM to post/clear the physical inventory document created for a handling unit? The manual transaction used in this is 'HUINV05'.
If there is no BAPI or FM, kindly help in finding a way how to capture in recording the commands executed in an ALV.
Points will be rewarded.
Thanks...

HI
In the transaction OB52 please change for all account types, since you have changed only for type S which is general, please do change for the rest of the account types like M for material, k for vendor, D for customer as well.
Hope this helps.

Partially Counting Physical Inventory Document

Currently our sites are encouraged to fully count a Physical Inventory document within the same business day. However, it is possible to partially count and post a document. Just wondering if there are any negative side effects to partially completing a count document in SAP? Does a partially completed document lock anything in the system for those articles on the document?
Thanks,
Nicole
Edited by: Nicole Daley on Sep 5, 2008 3:47 PM

Hi,
The question is not addressing the scenario correctly.
Hope you are talking about inventory count at IM level.
If you post the differences after the partial counting then the materials that are not counted will be blocked for any kind of inventory transactions...
Similarly if you do partial counting and post the differences at WM level then those bins for which counting have not been made are permanently blocked and you will not be unblock it for ever.
So if you do partial counting please ensure that difference postings are not done w/o completing the count details for all the items in the document.

Multiple physical inventory counts for same storage loc

We have a plant where the same SAP storage location is used for multiple physical locations (e.g. individual build stations). We would like to be able to count by physical area rather than by part number per se. So the goal would be to enter multiple counts against the same part and post differences only when all counts are done, as defined by the aggregate of the individual counts.
Is this possible? I tested it using MI31 to create phys inventory doc, then Mi04 for count 1 and MI09 for count 2, but received a message M7700 "Physical inventory for XX is already active"
Any ideas would be appreciated.

How do you know in your SAP in which area the material is?
can you know this from MMBE or MB52?
if not, then I do not see any chance for MI31, except you just create one inventory doc for the entire location and make copies of the document for each area you have. after counting you have to consolidate each copy into one and post then the count in MI04.

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.

Not able to enter the count for physical inventory document in WM

Hi All,
I have created a Physical Inventory document using LX16 t-code (WM managed). Since the material and bin stock is zero and When I try to enter the count by ticking zero stock indicator using LI11 t-code, I am not able to save the document and system throws error "Finding empty Quants provided for" and message number is L4058.
Please let me know how to resolve this.
Regards
Krishnamurthy

Yes your understanding is correct but only thing I have not entered qty in the count field rather I set only zero stock indicator.
My requirement is " In Inventory (MMBE) stock of a material shows around "3000" qty. But In WM stock is "zero" and physically also "zero". so in IM also stock should be reduced to "Zero". So I tried of creating PI document in WM and then when I try to enter the count, I faced the menioned problem.

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

Physical Inventory documents mass delete and reference in material document

Dear Experts,
I have 3 questions,
1. Is there any option to mass delete physical Inv documents
2. How can i know if the physical inventory documents are posted (MI07) or not yet
3. If i see any material document of mov type 701 or 702, there is no reference of physical Inv Doc # in it. How can i know that this material document is created as a result of which physicl Inv document.
Appreciate your help
SAPXPT

Hi,
"1. Is there any option to mass delete physical Inv documents"
Yes You can delete the Physical Inv Documents with MIAD but for that you need to maintain one variant with it and copy all the Document no. in TEXT file paste in the in Archiving Selection's.
"2. How can i know if the physical inventory documents are posted (MI07) or not yet"
Please check ISEG table and provide the time Period as search menu so that you can see all the Doc's posted on today's date.
"3. If i see any material document of mov type 701 or 702, there is no reference of physical Inv Doc # in it. How can i know that this material document is created as a result of which physical Inv document."
go to MB59 and check the Material documents with respect to Movement type and date. and the difference you will see in MMBE as per the movement used.

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.

Transaction code for mass creation of physical Inventory document

what is the transaction code for mass creation of physical Inventory document.

MI31 is the transaction to create hundreds of physical inventory documents for annual inventory at a time.
MICN can create several documents at a time for cycle count.
Just look in the menu of phyiscal inventory into the knot Sessions, there are even more e.g. for counting of own stock a customer and vendor location, for vendor stock at own location etc.
