Negative stock and Stock below safety stock

Hi,
Both negative stock and stock below safety stock create procurement proposals - internal or external.
But what is the difference between them?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
NEGATIVE STOCK:
Negative stock function used when you want to post Goods Issue quantity that larger than the book quantity.
For example: you have stock of material A000 = 90 qty and you want to Goods Issue with 100 qty.
Negative stock function is not relevant for the procurement, It can only use for the excess qty issue to to the production than stock qty. System will not create PR .
You need to do configuration setting to use this function.
Cust: In customizing negative stock are must allow for a valuation area, Plant and Storage location level.
In addition you can set the special stock at plant level such as
Consignment
Material provided to vendor
consignment stock at customer
sales order stock
project stock
returnable packaging with customer
returnable transport packaging
Application: The indicator for negative stock is with the storage data in the material master mast be maintained.
Note: It is possible for unrestricted use and blocked stock only.
With the standard price, There are no special features to the negative stock. But with the Moving average price , a price diff account can be posted to when goods are received.
STOCK BELOW SAFETY STOCK.
The Safety stock should cover any excess material consumption that may occur during the replenishment lead time as well as the normal requirements when deliveries delayed.
The Safety stock is therefore part of reorder point.
You do not required any special setting to use safety function. Just need to maintain the safety stock level in the material master.
If stock reduce below safety stock, system will create procurement proposal i.e Planned order or Purchase requisition.
I hope it will clear your query.

Whether it is possible to make auto goods issue below safety stock level

Hi SAP Gurus,
I am implementing MRP for generating stock transfer Planned orders from a Main Mother Plant to different Plants. We have defined a Safety stock level for materials at main Plant level.
There is a auto program available for generating auto goods issue against Purchase orders.
System picks up Qty as long as unrestricted stock exists for the material during auto goods issue.
System dont pick up any Qty below safety stock level (manual goods issue works below safety stock level).
We are defining safety stock to meet sudden requirements and have time for new procurement.
But it should allow us to do auto goods issue below safety stock level.
Whether this is possible and what need to be done ?
Thanks and Regards,
R.Velmurugan.

Hi Velmurugan,
I don't think auto GR is a problem from safety stock. Auto Gr can be done by two ways.
1. Control key and assigning the control key in operation(Preferably in last operation)
2. In production scheduling profile you can do it. You have to assign the production scheduling profile in material master work scheduling view.

Blocked stock and Goods Receipt Blocked Stock

Hie to all...
can any one tell me what is Blocked stock and Goods Receipt Blocked Stock?
regards
R.Reddy.

Hi,
Blocked stock: It is the stock lying in our stock. i.e this stock is valuated. Material is moved to blocked stock under following circumstances.
1.GR is already made, but there are some quality issues which can not be solved immedaitely. At the same time one should prevent the use of that material.
2.During assembly / inhouse storage / internal movement if the material gets damaged & you can not scrap the material immediately as you are not sure about the reason for damage.
Goods receipt blocked stock: This stock is non valuated. It is done,
1.If there is gate entry(103 movement) for the material, which will be verified & released by the stores (105 movement) after verifiing the material with respect to the documents sent by the vendor.
Hope this answers your question.

101 to be used only for unrestricted stock and not for quality stock

Dear Experts,
My client requires that mvt type 101 to be used for GR into ONLY unrestricted stock and not into Quality stock, if it requires we can create new mvt type as well.
Please let me know how to achieve this.
Regards
Abhi

You can set default value in MIGO for movement type and stock type..
Go to MIGO
The set default value for stock type as Unrestricted and movement type 101.
Then Go to OLMB-Settings for Enjoy Transactions-Settings for Goods Movements (MIGO)-Field Selection for MIGO
Here set the field Stock type as display..
Then check in MIGO
The field value will be unrestricted always and user will not able to change this..
Test the scenario and revert back..

Auto-release Planned Orders is not creating WIP job after zero on-hand (i.e. Level Below safety stock)

Hi
The time release fence in defined at item level as 1 day also safety stock level is defined in inventory safety stock form.
Once MRP launch it should create the discrete job against item as zero onhand for that item but MRP workbench is showing planned order for the item instead of creating item.

Safety stock and min safety stock

Dear all,
CAn anybody explain me the functional difference between safety stock and min safety stock?
And what is the meanng of safety time?
Karthick

Hi,
Safety Stock:
The quantity of stock to satisfy high requirements. The purpose of the safety stock is to prevent material shortage.
Safety stock as the name suggest is the stock level till which the dead stock or stock out situation will not arise (probable figure based on past data maintained in master).
As such this figure is not stock, it is cut-off figure maintained in master which is used for Planning and once the stock level dips below this value, you can configure system to generate PR, orders automatically. It has its relevance in MRP and CBP.
Safety stock is not used in production.
Minimum Safety Stock
    The quantity that defines the lower limit for safety stock. This value cannot be exceeded.
    The safety is checked to see if it is greater or equal to this lower limit.
    The lower limit is checked if you use an availability indicator which shows, according to customizing settings, if the safety stock is to be calculated again in a forecast. If the safety stock is lower than this level in forecasting, the safety stock is automatically increased to the value of the lower level.
The safety stock must always be greater or equal to this lower level (minimum safety stock)
Hope this will help help you.

Pavan

Exception message 10 and safety stock

Hello
When I have a ressource in the past (we have this case), and if the safety stock is not complet, the exception message is "10" (reschedulling in) without date.
Normaly the result should be exception message "15" (rescheduling out) with a date.
Why have I an exception message "10" without date ?
Is it the custo, but I found nothing ?

Hi Christian,
I've seen this myself, and believe that it happens only if you allow start in the past and have got insufficient coverage for safety stock.
I guess it doesn't have a date because of the start in the past, which will set availability date even today. Try to change the "start in the past" indicator, and see what happens.

Safety stock planning and use of CTM in APO

I want to use advanced safety stock planning and CTM in APO for a range of finished products.
For advanced safety stock planning, the available safety stock methods are AS, BS, AT, BT.
For CTM, I want to use time based safety stock method MB.
So how can the use of these different methods be reconciled?
Ady advice appreciated...

Hi,
Please check following SDN threads:
Re: CTM ignores Extended Safety Stock Methods (like BS, BT etc...)
Please also check OSS note 426563 .
For Planning a time phased safety stock ( e.g. when using advanced safety stock methods from SNP) CTM provides two alternative methods which have their own restrictions:
1. Standard saftey stock Planning .The standard safety stock method of CTM consists of two internal runs of CTM engine which are not visible for the user. Because of this two runs it is not possbile to consider decreasing safety stock. CTM interval planning can be used herein.
2. Alternative saftey stock method (Control parameter SSTOCK_MODE). This method carries out only one run. However there are some restrictions. For details of the above, please check oss note 1413545.

Safety Stock Methods SB, SZ and SM - When to apply what method?

Dear Experts,
i have searched the threads for a good explanation of safety stock methods (especially for safety stock methods SZ, SB and SM). I have to admit that i did not fully understand how the SM method works exactly. It would be great if you could possibly share an easy-to-understand example. Furthermore i am looking for a way to determine for what rawmaterial_location combination we need to use what Safety Stock Method (SB, SZ, SM). Maybe you could share a few examples in terms of raw materials, characteristics for these raw materials, what method to choose and reasoning for choosing this method.
Thank you very much for your support in advance!
I am looking forward to your answers!
Best regards,
Christian

Hi
Please refer OSS note 504253 . This will give you an idea about the safety stock methods. This note also has links to other notes that explain safety stock planning
Thanks

How much to order , reorder point and Safety stock calculation in SAP?

Existing Client is Distribution company , the Challenge is how much order , when to order and how much safety stock we need to keep for Material in SAP?
Limitations with Client System:
u2022The existing system does not enable purchasing to have visibility to firm (open sales orders) and planned (customer forecasted) demand for a material.
u2022If a sales order is placed that consumes all of the inventory available, the purchasing department is not notified automatically to replenish the stock
u2022The system in place currently does not enable the organization to maintain a level of safety stock.
u2022If inventory is logically allocated to a priority customer based on their forecast, there is no way to ensure that inventory is reserved for the priority customeru2019s orders u2013 other sales orders often consume it.
u2022If a material is backordered with several sales orders waiting for parts, the sales orders are allocated based on earliest requested delivery date upon receipt of the part; there is no way currently to allocate the stock across the open sales orders if it is determined that is the appropriate course of action.
Thanks
Sweth

Sweth, you are asking for consulting, and in my opinion it is way beyond what can or should be reasonable to achieve in such a forum. You are asking complex questions, that most probable have more than one possible answer.
I suggest that you get on-site help from a knowledgeable and experienced consultant. These are crucial business issues, and should be dealt seriously.

Safety stock as per location possible ?

I want to maintain a buffer stock at a storage location which is not main storage location of material. An automatic reservation should be created if stock level goes down.
Is it possible ?

Yes it is possible by defining MRP at storage loc level with reorder point and maintain the safety stock at sub storage location.
When you run MRP, if the stock is below safetry stock and reorder point levele system will create a reservation from mainstorage location to sub storage loction
Hence in MRP 4 view forplant and storage loc maintaine - maintain the setting MRP carriedout sepereately in the storage location.
Please come back if required

Reg Mapping KANBAN - safety stock

Hi
This is Regarding KANBAN
Business scenario: Container will have safety stock maintained, Procurement will trigger only when stock in container goes below safety stock. not when container is empty.
We dont want system to calculate KANBAN quantity
Please suggest how i can map this case in System.
Thanks in adavnce

Hi,
I don't think that this concept is support by existing SAP functionality. There's no way you can define safety stock per KANBAN container.
Your concept fits to working with 1 container. Instead you could work with 2, maybe smaller, containers, and then instead of safety stock you can use the EMPTY and FULL signals in a standard way.

Automatic Safety Stock

Hi Experts,
Currently MRP type is PD & Planning is make to order for finished goods.
I have requirement, wanted system to calculate safety stock automatically based on consumption value for Raw material.
Material should be further Planned in the same way, But if stock falls below safety stock , it creates a Purchase requistion.
System should calculate the safety stock rather than Manually entered.
Thanks & Regards,
Vivek Kumar

Hi Robert,
I don't know whether this will suffice your requirements, but actually it sounds like "Dynamic Range of Coverage".
It is like you want to keep the stock of certain materials as safety stock (coverage of requirements in exigencies) for certain number of days, weeks etc.
For example, one material has got average consumption (depenedent on main requirement of parent materials) requirements of 50 pc. per day and you want to keep a supply of 3 days in hand to cover unforeseen reqmnts, then based on this consumption pattern system will automatically calculate 50 * 3 = 150 pc. extra as safety stock, often called Dynamic Safety Stock.
As & when the main requirements change for parent materials, the depenedent requirement also changes, and hence the dynamic safety stock. For example, if the demand has increased such that average consumption per day comes out to be 80 pc., then calculation of safety stock will be 80 * 3 = 240 pc. extra (as you always want to cover 3 days requirements).
If this is your requirement, then try configuring this feature by creating suitable profiles for Range of coverage (depending on certain groups of materials, like for some you want to get coverage for 2 days, some for 5 days, some for 1 day and so on). And assign the suitable profile to corresponding material master. This will work with normal PD type of MRP without any tweaking.
Reply whether it worked for you.
