Negative quantity issue in inventory

Experts,
I am facing one problem in inventory,i am getting two records for one material document in which primary keys are similar for both of the entries with one entry having positive qty while other as negative qty ,also the negative qty entry doesn't have any batch number along with. As it is a quarter end i need to resolve this problem as soon as possible.
the data source is 2LIS_03_BF, in extractor checker it self it is showing multiple entries for one material document (positive as well as negative)
i don't know much about inventory, because of that i am unable to understand the root cause for the same.when user are running query on the basis of batch number they are getting mismatch in report as two entries present with positive and negative qty entries(with negative entry missing batch Number.
If any one faced this issue earlier then please reply as soon as possible.

Hi Bob,
Thanks for the reply, as I mentioned in my problem, I am getting two entries for each material document. One with positive and another with negative Quantity. Also the negative Qty record doesn't have batch num along with. So there is no meaning to fill up the setup table again. Hope I am clear this time.
Please provide me a solution for the same.
Regards,
Yash

Negative quantity of SO item

Dear Expert,
Can I use the negative quantity for SO items? And do the delivery with negative quantity to increase inventory?
I will reward you.
regards
Gang

Well
See if you are selling something in a Order how can you add upp returns in the same order i mean thats not correct logically speaking
You cant configure a single item category to do both the work ... please let me know more clear requirement and for return of a material LNN for Reteunable packaging material and if you have something like empties you can use TAZ..
Yeah your line item can have one with TAN & the other with REN but then i have never come across this situation neither i have simulated this senario .. may be you can test it ..( i would wonder how would delivery and billing documents respond to this ) my knowledge says it may not work
Hope this helps
Cheers

Inventory issue with negative quantity

Hi Everybody,
My project is in Production Support & I'm stuck at one point.
I have an inventory cube which shows correct quantity values for issues and receipts but shows negative in the file.
We send a file to business through infospoke.
I have done various analysis but never got to the root cause of the issue.
Can anybody give me suggestions or different ways of analysis???
Parthiv.

Thanks for your reply Engin,
You are right with that. I have checked and it is good till the cube. The total quantity matches with database table. There is a BAdI implementation at the infospoke to export the data to a file.
The file contains negative quantity values for more than 156,000 records.
The code used in BAdI :
          i_data_out-material = i_data_in2-material.
          i_data_out-plant    = i_data_in2-plant.
          i_data_out-stor_loc = i_data_in2-stor_loc.
          i_data_out-totalstock =
                          i_data_in2-rectotstck - i_data_in2-isstotstck.
But the file shows negative value of isstotstck as total quantity.

Need negative quantity non-inventory items on Credit Memo

Version: (2007A)
Description of requirements: (Please provide a detailed description)
Our customer issues many invoices with a negative quantity line item for a miscellaneous non-inventory item. These non-inventory items are used to reduce the amount of the invoice regarding miscellaneous credits to their customers. These are not discounts.
When the customer wants to credit these invoices, they canu2019t create a Credit Memo based on the invoice because SAP wonu2019t allow this if there are line items with negative amounts.
When they create a credit memo not based on an invoice, they arenu2019t allowed to enter a negative quantity for a line item as they are for an Invoice. They are forced to create a credit memo not based on an invoice the inventory item line items and an invoice or Journal Entry for the negative quantity line item to debit back the miscellaneous line amount.
As an example:
Invoice line item one for inventory item: qty one, price 100,line total $100.00
Invoice line item two non-inventory item misc credit: quanity -1, price 10, total -$10.00
Invoice Total $90.00
In Order to provide the correct credit amount, they have to create a Credit Memo not based on an invoice for line item one, qty one, price 100 u2013 value -100 and an invoice for the non-inventory item for qty one, price 10 - value 10.00.
This creates a net credit for the customer of 90.00
This looks ridiculous to their customers when they see these transactions on their statements, creates extra work for the users and there is no link between the three documents.
By using inventory items for these miscellaneous credits, they can assign a sales revenue of their choice. They have multiple sales accounts and the GL posting is determined by the item group for the item. By assigning the desired item group to these non-inventory items, they can control which sales account is updated on their marketing documents when using these non-inventory items.
If they were to use the Freight items, they would need a separate freight setup entry for combination of item group and miscellaneous credit. Because they have so many Item Groups and types of credits, they would need a great many separate Freight Charges to choose from.
All of the above pertains to all of our customers. This customer has a custom add-on and their marketing documents are all created from custom objects. They hit a button on the custom sales contract screen and an invoice is created. When they hit another button on the screen, the selected invoice is credited. They have legally binding contracts for fixed quantities to be shipped, so we decrease the quantity shipped when creating an invoice and decrease the quantity shipped when a credit memo is created. The contract is fulfilled when the exact quantity contracted for has been shipped. Because the credit memo fails, we canu2019t update the custom objectu2019s remaining to be shipped, rendering it inaccurate from that time forward. (reducing the quantity shipped is part of the Credit Memo creation process).Creating Credit Memos and Invoices from the interface fixes the inventory count, customer balance, etc., but we have no way of fixing the sales contractu2019s quantity shipped & remaining to be shipped or linking the contracts to the documents created from the interface.
Business needs: (Please describe the impact on your business, if the functionality is not realized)
Examples: (Please describe a typical example, how the functionality should work.)
Credit Memos should allow negative quantities and line total amounts for non-inventory items, the same way that A/R Invoices do, so that credit memos can be based on invoices that have negative quantity non-inventory line items.
Current Workaround: (Please describe the workarounds you are using at the moment)
Please see above
Proposed solution: (Please suggest how the new functionality should work)
Credit Memos should allow negative quantities and line total amounts for non-inventory items, the same way that A/R Invoices do.

Hi Sean......
System is behaving properly as per its logic. Infact it does same in all the previous or upcoming versions.
If you have Item Type GRPO for Non Inventory Item it does not create any accounting but you can see the same during AP invoice.
GRPO for such type is only optional. For further clarification you can discuss this with your CA what he suggests. But i suggest you to raise AP invoice also for getting Account effect. Just see doing this in test DB you get your answer......

Rahul

Negative Quantity in Fixed Reserve Quantity in MMBE

My understanding, we can only reserve stocks with quantity. Is it correct?

If you issue the material before posting the Goods recipt the stock will show with Negative quantity.
You can reserve the quantity for movement type irespective of available stock.
The quantity means the volume of material you required in the future date.

Block zero quantity when creating Inventory Transfer

Hi all,
does anyone know how to block zero quantity when creating inventory transfer?
for example: I have zero quantity in warehouse A. Then I want to transfer it to warehouse B. The system accept that. So, when I check that item in warehouse A, the in stock column become negative. How I can protect it?
please help me. it's very urgent.
thanks
sisca

Go to Administration > System Initialization > Document Settings > General Tab
Check Manage Inventory nu Whse and also check Block negative inventory. Read details below of their functionality.
Manage inventory by whse
Defines whether the check is performed for the warehouse selected in the document row. If you select the checkbox, the system checks the minimum inventory level in the warehouse that was selected for the item when the sales document was entered.
If the transaction causes the inventory level in that warehouse to fall below the minimum inventory level, a warning message appears even if the total available inventory of the item is greater than the minimum warehouse quantity. If you do not select this checkbox, the system checks the total available inventory in all warehouses where this item is stored.
You can also define automatic notification for a specific user when the inventory level falls below the minimum level. A purchase transaction can then be initiated.
Block negative inventory
Select to block documents that would cause the level of inventory to fall below zero. If you deselect the checkbox, the message Negative inventory usage is not in accordance with accounting rules. Are you sure you want to enable negative inventory usage?
If you select Manage inventory by whse and Block negative inventory, SAP Business One calculates the block per warehouse. However, if the item is not handled by a warehouse and you do not select Manage inventory by Whse, the block is calculated for all the warehouses.

Negative quantity in deliver field in production order - CO02

Hi All,
I am doing production confirmation and goods receipt for production order through back ground using standard BAPI.While doing GR for production order in background the following error occured.
System is throughing dump - Arithmatical logical conversion problem.when we analysed through ST22 we came to know that negative quantity appearing in field of delivered in production order.
Screen name.............. "SAPLCOKO1"
Screen number............ 0120
Screen field............. "CAUFVD-GWEMG"
As per standard, delivered field in production order is always in display mode only. So there will not be any chance for user to change the delivered field.
Pls guide me how to overcome the above issue and what is exact root cause for the above problem.
System is throwing error in change mode ( Co02) and display mode ( CO03 ) for the respective production order number
Thanks

Hi,
This inconsistency can be solved with the following correction report. If you want to try by yourself, then implement it manually in transaction SE38 and execute in test mode first to check if the inconsistency is found. And obviously, in a TEST system first.
If you are NOT confident about it, I recommend you to submit a support message for SAP for further investigation since this is a database inconsistency.

Marcelo

How to scrap the negative quantity

Hi
Our requirement is to scrap a material quantity for a plant. But that material has a negative quantity.
Please let me know how to scrap negative quantity.
Thanks & Regards
Shilpi

hi,
In which period the stock is negative. If it is in current period, then do physical inventory for that material and increase the quantity and make it positive and do it scrap. If it is in earlier period, then you have to consult your peoples to post in that period.
or
If you have stocks in anyother sloc..then move that to the sloc where the quantity is in negative..then u can scrap...

prasath

How can negative quantity appears?

Hi guys,

Allow negative quantity for items manage by batch

Hi All,
I am having this issue where all items are required to be managed by batch and yet stock is allow to go negative (with the Block negative quantity unchecked) due to customer requirement.
E.g. there are no batch to select when the item hits negative quantity.
Any idea if this is possible in SAP B1 and possible workaround.
Thank you in advance.
Lip Sin

Hi Lip Sin,
You need to discuss and ask the same to your customer.
Your customer has to make choice between one of this two, because when there is possibility of negative stock, just imagine how the software can keep the integrity with batch nos. ?
You need to clearly ask your customer to choose any of this and still the customer insist, you can think to handle it using UDF for batch no, but then your customer will loose the control by batch.

P.Srinivasan

Have you checked for SAP Notes? I don't see any, but I don't have all the search terms from your short dump.
I would suspect, though, that there is a customer enhancement that is affecting your data value, and erroneously resulting in a negative value....are you aware of any customer enhancements, user exits, badis, etc.?

Negative quantity in Zero stock check

Hi guys
How do i enter negative quantity in zero stock check??
Example

HI Karthi
i have only 10 pcs of material A. I have activated zero stock check.
1. i have posted movement 201 for 10 pcs in IM.
2. a TR is created which is converted into a TO.
3. While confirming TO, i have entered actual quantity as 8 pcs and difference quanity as 2 pcs. then i have confirmed that the stock is Zero for the bin.
4. the system now has created -2 pcs in storage type 911 and 2 pcs in storage type 999.
as suggested by you i have tried to create a TO with respect to TR
Details of TO
Source type 999 qty 2
Destination 911 qty 2
once i confirm the TO the quanity for this material becomes Zero.
Now the stock in 999 and 911 is zero, so i cannot post LI21.
Let me know what am i doing wrong?
Regards

Negative Component Issue

Hi
It is mentioned in the oracle inventory management material that There are different ways we can receive inventory in to stock: for instance from manufacturing shop floors by :
- Component Return
- Negative Component Issue
- Assembly Return
My question is:
what is "Negative Component Issue" ? and how could it be performed?
Thanks
Walid

HI,
negative component issue is used to issue negative components from job to inventory.
they are normally used in denoting by products that are produced in a job when performing a job, and usually by products are returned to inv from job.
so negative component issue type is used.
is it clear?

ML81N Negative Quantity Posting for Credit or Difference Adjustments.

ECC 5.0 - DIMP
This is a VERY, VERY common situation at nearly all companies where a credit or small difference may occur between the invoice amount and the SES. Reversing / canceling and reentering documents, along with all of the additional accounting documents created is not an appropriate option.
=========================
I have a situation with Service Entry Sheets where a vendor delivers services for a PO line item. There can be MANY service entries, and MANY invoices for a single PO Line item.
Invoices are posted against the open GR SES amount on the PO Line Item and not specifically to the service entry sheet. As a result there may be more than one invoice tied to a single service entry sheet. The reversal option would requie
When credits come in, or when vendor discounts are taken the SES amount does not match but there is a need to ensure that the SES amount matches the vendor credit amount (whether credit memo or discounts taken).
NUMEROUS SAP OSS Notes say that Negative Service Entry Sheet Amounts are possible, and in the first step I even get an SE042 warning message about the negative quantity. However, when I press ENTER to go past the warning I then get messgae SE396 as a hard error and the dialog box for the error has JUST an exit button causing the entire transaction to exit the process.
Has anyone ever worked successfully with negative service entry sheet quantities?
If so, what were your lessons learned?
Here are some of the notes I have reviewed, and the ability to do the negative SES quantity goes back to 4.6:
365648
375799
411262
455707

Hi Bill,
If you try to save an SES with ONLY a negative quantity you will receive
the following error Value of specs. less than zero (function cannot be
performed) Message no. SE396.
You can enter negative VALUES based on the
following rules:
The service specifications contain lines with negative values.
Service lines with negative values are only allowed if the following
conditions are fulfilled:
The total value of the specifications is positive.
The total value of each account assignment is positive.
Please see other notes attached.
