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)

  • Blocked due to a physical inventory. Counts need to be entered.

    Hello Experts,
    I am trying to move from "stock provided to vendor" to unrestricted to write off.  but the Error states blocked due to a physical inventory. Counts need to be entered.
    I went into MI24 (See below) and there is actually a physical inventory doc that has not been counted from 2012.  Is there any reason why I can't go in and enter actuals and close it out?
    Thanks for your help in advance !

    if you created the document with the option of freeze inventory, then the book stock is already captured and your difference between counted stock and book stock would be calculated based on book stock from 2012. Do you think this makes any sense?
    Go MI02 and delete the document for which you never performed a physical count.
    How can this happen that a physical count is forgotten? Don't you check for completeness when the day of phsical count comes to an end?.

  • Material blocked due to a physical inventory

    Hello,
    I have an issue.
    I have done a stock take via MI01, MI21, MI04 and finally MI20!
    When I afterwards create a delivery with one of that part that was counted it gives me an error message saying:
    M7100 - Material xxx blocked due to a physical inventory
    When I look into the inventory document it says: Counted, adjusted.
    While debugging I found out that the process somewhere checks MARD-SPERR which is X for that part and therefore outputs messsage M7100!   But X only indicates that posting block was set while physical inventory was done!
    Does someone have an idea? Is there maybe a report to verify and correct inventory status?
    Hope someone can help, cause I've counted a hundreds of parts which are now blocked.
    Thanks for your reply.
    Wolfgang

    Hello Wolfgang,
    If you enter the differences for your physical inventory documents against those materials, then the posting block check shall automatically go off and you can do the material movements.
    First, you need to check whether you posted the differences for the respective physical inventory document.
    If not you need to post the difference first as it may lead to data inconsistencies.
    To remove the posting block go to MI02, enter the physical inventory document number and year, now go to Header and untick the posting block check box.
    Posting block indicator
    The indicator remains in the physical document header even if the stock is unblocked through the posting of inventory differences. It then only indicates that a posting block was set for the documents.
    The blocking indicator can be set in one of two ways:
    Directly upon entry of the physical inventory document (if the count is to take place immediately)
    Shortly before the count (if the count is to take place later)
    You can set the indicator by choosing Physical inventory document -> Change in the header data of the physical inventory document or via batch input.
    Now you can create delivery for the materials.

  • Blocking storage location for particular material

    All SAP Gurus,
    Can we block the storege location for particular material.
    Regards,

    Block Storage Location from further posting
       You can block the storage location of a material without affecting the rest of the location using the same material.
        Create a Physical Inventory document for the storage location with transaction MI01
        Select the Posting Block checkbox.
        This would prevent transactions from occuring until you either post or delete the physical inventory document.
        (There are no impact, unless you do a post difference for the physical inventory document.)

  • BLOCKING STORAGE LOCATION

    Hi,
       To All SAP Gurus,
        This is manish.here i am with some problem regarding the "Blocking Storage Location".
    I have some storage locations which are actually not in use,but they have stock in SAP where as there is no any stock physically,now i want to vanish that storage location.
    1) So is it possible to remove storage location from plant?
    2) Also is it possible to block the perticular storage location for perticular material?
       As i think MMSC not useful here.Also custmisation in enterprise structure will only remove the storage location at plant level.
    please do the needful,
    hoping reply earlier.
    Thanks & regards,
    MAnish.

    Hi
      To all gurus,
       This is regarding the blocking storage location.The problem has been solved.
    the steps what u suggested,was quite helpful for me up to
    use MM06..
    Enter material and sloc..
    then enter
    then mark check box against SLOC
    save and continue,
    material will be blocked for the said Sloc.
            But the still system aalows the posting to that storage location.
    the above problem has been solved by other way.
    thanks for your suggestions.
    thanks & regards,

  • Material blocked due to a physical inventory - VL02N - Post Goods Issue

    Hi,
    We are working with SAP R/3 4.6C IDES.
    During a business process we need to run VL02N and to click the Post Goods Issue button.
    When we do that, we are getting the following error:
    "Material P-103 1000 0001 blocked due to a physical inventory"
    Anyone knows that I need to do in order to make it work?!
    Also, anyone knows how can I add more quantity to a given part?
    Thank you!
    Yaniv

    Hi Yaniv!
    Any stock changes are forbidden during physical inventory (otherwise you wouldn't know, if your counting has amount of before or after the change).
    Close the counting (-> ask who has done this), then goods issue is possible.
    Quantity change: go to picking tab and enter 'real' -> changed quantity.

  • Block Storage location for particular material

    Hi,
    We gave defined storage location for finished product as follows>
    1050 - 2-8°
    1040 - RT
    When I have created one material, wrongly i have created it in 1050 instead of 1040.
    Then i have extend that material to 1040. Now that material is showing both storage locations.
    Is it possible to block storage location 1050 for this material only?
    Because of both SLOC thre are chaces of wrong receipt in 1050.
    Pl. help me to solve this problem.

    Hi,
    You can block the material completely for any movement type by checking <b>X Plant matl status</b> in Basic data view of material master.Or if you want to block specific movement type it will have to done thro authorisation but will apply to all materials .Here the authorisation object  M_MSEG_LGO    can be worked to remove the movement type or storage loaction .

    hi
    Use Transaction Code MM06 to set a deletion flag for material at storage location level. This shall be done for all materials that have this storage location that can be found by checking the table MARD with SE16.
    As well the message M7 127 from warning to error message (transaction OMCQ) must be changed

    Physical Inventory:
    Physical Inventory is a business process in which physical stock is matched with book (system) stock. It is legal requirement to carry out physical inventory at least once in a year.
    Physical inventory can be carried out both for a companyu2019s own stock (Unrestricted, Quality, Blocked Stock) and for special stocks (Customer Consignment stock, Vendor consignment stock from vendor, Returnable packaging). This inventory is carried out saperately for both type of stocks.
    Physical Inventory Processes:
    Several inventory processes available for physical inventory which includes as follow:
    1. Periodic Physical Inventory
    o All stocks of the company are physically counted on the balance sheet key date
    o Every material must be counted
    o Entire warehouse must be blocked for material movements during count.
    2. Continuous Physical Inventory
    o Stocks are counted continuously during the entire fiscal year.
    o It is important to ensure that every material is physically counted at least once during the year.
    3. Cycle Counting
    o In this method of physical inventory, inventory is counted at regular intervals within a fiscal year.
    o These intervals (or cycles) depend on the cycle counting indicator set for the material in Material Master record as CC indicator in plant view data.
    o With this Cycle Counting Method of Physical Inventory allows fast-moving items to be counted more frequently than slow-moving items.
    4. Inventory Sampling
    o Randomly selected stocks of the company are physically counted on the balance sheet key date.
    o If found not much variance between the counted stock and the book book stock, it is presumed that the book inventory balances for the other stocks are correct.
    Physical Inventory Process Cycle Flow
    1. Creation of physical inventory document
    - Physical inventory document(s) is created individually or using the batch program, click for more information
    - The transaction codes for creation physical inventory are as follow
    Individual Inventory documentation creation
    MI01 - Individual physical inventory creation
    MIS1 - Inventory Sampling document creation
    MICN - Cycle count inventory document creation
    Collective Inventory document creation
    MI31 - Own stock without special stock
    MIK1 - Vendor consignment
    MIQ1 - Project stock
    MIM1 - Returnable Transpiration material
    MIW1 - Customer Consignment stock
    MIV1 - Returnable material with customer
    MIO1 - Material provided to Vendor (Subcontracting material)
    2. Print physical inventory document
    - Physical Inventory document can be printed based on the physical inventory document status and or item status
    - Transaction code MI21 is used to print the inventory document where print default value can be populated
    3. Count the physical stock
    - Based on the inventory document printout, the warehouse person will check the stock of material physically and note that on print out. This is completely physical process.
    4. Enter count in system
    - On completion of physical count, the count result is needs to be entered in the system. This can be with reference (using Tcode MI04) or without reference (using Tcode MI04) to the physical inventory document.
    - If count quantity for that material is ZERO then select ZC (zero count) column instead of putting 0 in qty field. If 0 is used for zero count then systm will consider that as "not counted"
    5. Analyze difference
    - Once count is posted in the system, difference analysis can be carried out using transaction MI20
    - The output gives information based on the input criteria i.e. physical inventory document, plant, material etc.
    - The output gives information about the book quantity, Counted quantity, difference in quantity and value.
    - From this output list, you can carry out further process ie initiate recount, change count quantity, post difference
    6. Initiate recount and follow the steps 3,4,5
    - If found unacceptable difference, recount is initiated using directly from difference analysis list (transaction code MI20) or using transaction code MI11.
    - New inventory document will be created for selected items or for entire document
    - The original document items will be deactivated once recount is initiated so original document will not be available for further process.
    - On initiating recount, you need to process same as for new count document.
    7. Post the difference
    - Several options are available for posting difference
    - Post difference after count is posted using transaction code MI07
    - Posting the count and inventory differences using transaction code MI08, here you have created physical inventory but not counted so with this you can count and post difference in sinle step.
    - Entering the count without a document reference using trasnaction code MI10, with this you can create inventory document, enter the count and post difference in single step.
    some more points for posting difference
    - Posting period must be open to post inventory difference.
    - The fiscal year is set by specifying a planned count date when creating a physical inventory document.
    - Tolerence to crear difference per user group can be set in customization.
    - The system will generate material document for the difference qty and post the value to appropriate account (for valuated stock)
    - The movement type in material document will be 701 or 702 based on gain or loss of material.
    Serial Numbers in Physical Inventory
    If material is managed with serial number then it is possible to carry out physical inventory for material with serial number. There are some pre-requisite before you carry out physical inventory for serialized materials.
    - Serial number profile must be maintained in the material master.
    - the serialization procedure MMSL (maintaining goods receipt and goods issue documents) has to be assigned to serial number profile.
    - The stock check indicator in the serial number profile should be configured.
    - Maintain basic settings for the serial numbers in customization for Serial Number Profile.
    - Configure serial number management for physical inventory in the Settings for Physical Inventory step in Customizing for Inventory Management.
    Blocked Stock Returns are the stock which is return stock from Customer or the stock which can be return back to vendor. To restrict the usage of this stock mostly business do transfer posting for this mateial as BLOCKED stock
    Goto SPRO -> Sales and Distribution -> Billing -> goto Copy Control -> use Copy control Between billing doc to sales doc.
    select the line which refers to ur billing doc and Return Sales doc.
    Goto Item level and please check the Check box saying Update Doc Flow .
    This check box will keep track of Refernce qty between Billing Doc and Return Sales Doc.
