Negative stock at vendor end location

Hi all,
    Today I found a material showing negative stock in a vendor end location.
   Negative stock indicator flag is not  set for that material and negative stock setting also haven't made.
The movement that led to negative stock is 543 O.
I dont know how to solve this problem.
Kindly advise me in this regard.
Regards,
Viswanath babu

Apparently negetive stock is allowed at this location. It is a setting in config. If you know the material document that caused it(use MB51), reverse that document using MIGO or MBST. As far as the setting is concerned, you need someone to change the setting if it should not be allowed.

  • STOCKS AT VENDOR END

    How to view stocks at vendor end for raw material considered under MRP process .Is it possible or if not what config needs to be

    Hi,
    For normal MRP process system will not consider the Stocks at the Vendor side.
    It will consider only the Plant stock only with all the str location.
    If you want to consider the vendor stock for MRP process then the only possiblity is through MRP Areas. You need to consider the subcontractor as MRP areas then when you run the MRP for MRP areas then system will consider the Stock at the vendor end & can be checked in the MRP reports.

  • Clearing up negative stock approach during month end

    Dear all,
    I have a question with regards to how to clear up negative stock during month end.
    Currently our system allows negative stock due to our company process requirement. However, these negative stocks will need to clear-up by finance or warehouse during month end.
    May I know what is the best approach (including tcode, and business process) for this activity?
    Thanks.

    regarding your point 2: it is not possible to clear negative stock with phyiscal inventory, as you cannot even create a inventory document if you have negative stocks.

  • Allow negative stock on storage location

    Dear all,
    When we allow negative stock on a storage location. At posting time we have an error "deficit stock of batch assignment". Anybody got a clue of what has to be done to correct this ???
    Cheers,
    Olivier

    Dear Oliver,
    Please do the following checks.
    Prerequisites
    To work with negative stocks, you have to:
    · explicitly allow this in the Customizing system for each valuation area and storage location
    · set the indicator Neg. stocks in plant in the material master record of the individual materials (storage data)
    Negative stocks are allowed for special stocks if you have activated negative stocks in the valuation area and for the special stock concerned in the plant. You do not need to activate negative stocks in each material master record.
    Procedure
    You can define whether you want to allow negative stock by making the relevant settings for each storage type in Customizing.
    To do this, choose Logistics Execution -- Warehouse Management--- Interfaces -- Inventory Management -
    Allow Negative Stocks in Interim Storage Types --- Allow negative stock for each storage type in the Implementation Guide (IMG).
    When the allow negative stock indicator is set, the system lets you post negative quants to the corresponding storage type.
    Additionally, you can define whether you want the system to issue an error message (E) or a warning message (W) or no message (blank) when posting negative stock. You can make the relevant setting in the activity Control of System Messages in Warehouse Management. You can determine the notification type using the parameter MSV in the user master record.
    To do this, choose System --- User profile --- Own data.
    Then select the tab page Parameters.
    Enter MSV in the Parameters field and enter the value with which you want to group certain users in the value field (for example 01).
    Choose Logistics Execution ® Warehouse Management ® Interfaces ® Inventory Management ® Allow Negative Stocks in Interim Storage Types ® Control of System Messages in Warehouse Management in the Implementation Guide (IMG).
    Create a new entry with the version number (Value) you have chosen and enter the desired system reaction in the Message Category field (E, W, or blank).

  • Negative stock allowed for a material with SDG assigned

    Hi All ,
    I have raw material for which stock determination group assigned in MRP 2 view for issuing the componets .
    I also marked allow negative stock in plant/storage location view .
    Normally if the stock determination group is not assigned and if the negative stock allowed in plant/storagelocation is checked then during backflush though the required qunatity is not availabe then the stock will be marked in negative quantities , so that when GR happens for this material will overcome the negative quantity .
    But since stock determination group is assigned , though the  negative stock allowed is checked the backlogs are created in MF47 rather making the stock of the material negative [ I assume this behaviour is because the SDG is determined dynamically ]
    Is there any setting required to not sit these backlogs in MF47 when the negative stock allowed in plant/storagelocation is checked
    Thanks

    Hello Sireesha,

  • Negative stocks for the previous period when closed MM period

    hi,
    I try to use MMPV to close MM period, error message is displayed "
    Some materials have negative stocks for the previous period."
    how to solve this problem and what cause this message? why system allow negative stock?
    thanks

    Hi
    Negative stock means that for a material in your  plant stock is 0 on current posting date but you still want to  issue the material.
    So  in order to achieve this u need to activate the Negative stock for that material in material master and mark the setting of negative stock for the storage location.
    Using the Transaction OLMB ---Goods Receipt

  • How to end use omj1 i.e. negative stock customization

    dear gurus,
    how to end use omj1 i.e. negative stock customization
    thanks in advance

    Hi,
    Ideally not recommended.
    Still if you wish to go for it, follow the steps indicated below:
    1) Go to OMJ1 and select the box against the respective plant
    2) Also go to TCode OMSY, Tick the box "ABP" (Allow Back Posting) for your Company Code, so that you can control postings in the closed period.
    3) And finally, go to material master and select Plant data/ Storage2 view, tick the box "Neg. stocks in Plant".

  • Reg: Negative Stock

    Hii,
    How does negative stocks works in SAP, here in Material Master for a selected material in plant 1000 and SL 0001, i have checked on negative stock option in Plant/ Storage 2 view.
    while issuing the stock in MIGO, it is not allowing and it is givng an error with deficit qty not allowed.
    Can u pls guide me, how does it should make it work.
    Thanks
    Regards,
    Muralidharan

    Hi muralidharan ,
    A negative stock occurs when you post a goods issue(GI) witha quantity that is larger than the book inventory.Negative stock balances may be required if,for organizational reasons,you enter goods issue before the coreesponding goods receipts,and the material is already physically located in the warehouse.Negative stocks always indicate that physical movments have to be entered in the system at the later stage.
    So that you can work with negative stock inSAP system,you have to specifically allow this in customizing for the affected material.In Customizing for inventory mangerment,you will find the settings for negative stock under Goods issue/Transfer postings>Allow Negative stocks..The path for this is
    SPRO>Materials mangement>Inventory management and physical inventory>Goods issue/Transfer postings>Allow negative stocks
    Negative stocks are allowed at valuation area level and storage location level.At plant level,you can set the special stocks for which negative stocks is allowed.
    For example the special stocks for which negative stock is allowed are
    >Vendor consignment
    >Stock of material provided to vendor
    >Consignment stock at customer
    >Sales order stock
    >Project stock
    >Returnable packaging with customer
    >Returnable transport packaging
    If you have negative stock for a material ,this is shown in the material master record on the accounting view,the plant stock view,and the storage location stock view.The negative stock is also displayed in the stock lists.
    To determine for which materials you have negative stocks,use the warehouse stock for material report.From SAP Easy acess screen,choose Logistics>Materials management>Inventory management>Environment>Stock>Warehouse stock(MB52)
    You can execute the selection,for example,for several materials for a storage location that allows negative stocks.So that only the materials with negative stocks are displayed,choose the Only display negative stocks indicator on the selection screen.
    Hope this will help you

  • Material Type and Negative Stock Problem

    Dear All SAP Experts,
    Please provide suitable solution for the following business scenario to avoid negative stock continuously and which material type should we select for the material mentioned below:
    GAS Supplying Company (Main Source)
    Client - GAS Trading Company
    Material – GAS supply through Pipe Lines
    Purchases - GAS from main source treated, received as single material for purchase point of view
    Trading Good – GAS supply to different type of customers, different purposes, different rates, different segments and different billing cycles for sales point of view
    Consumption – 1.Based on meter reading at Main Source point for purchase quantity on daily basis.
    2.Based on meter reading at different customer locations, different purposes, different segments, different rates, different meter reading cutoff cycles and different billing cycles.
    Main source company raise invoice with different rates on client fortnightly based on the consumption for different type of customers, different purposes in different segments. i.e. for domestic purposes one rate, industrial purposes another rate etc.
    How to provide reading figures fortnightly to main source company, how to check consumption and if at all any negative stock in MM how to avoid negative stock in SAP?

    As the scenario is describes material should be Pipeline material....and further for this material type....
    Genrally for price of pipeline material :You determine the price of a pipeline material from a vendor in a pipeline info record. You can only post pipeline movements after you have created the pipeline info record.
    So for different vendor different prices will come into picture....
    I dont think pipeline material will have negitive stock....

  • 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.

  • Negative Stock customising

    Hi Guru's,
    we are doing implementation for one our client and client is asking to activate the negative stock functionality in SAP.
    can anyone tell me is there any implications in activating the negative stock.
    Regards

    Hi,
    Negative stocks can be utilized for a number of different business scenarios, for instance:
    1. If a material shipment is going to a customer, but the production has not yet confirmed (and there is not enough stock on hand to satisfy the requirement), instead of getting the "deficit of stock..." message when doing the issue for the delivery, the system will allow you to issue the material, and your inventory will show a negative quantity until the production confirmation is
    performed.
    2. I had a client who used this functionality to track component usage for their subcontractors.  They would confirm production for an entire month for the FERT materials produced by the subcontractor. Starting the month with zero stock for all components, then at the end of the month the value of the component stock (disregarding the negative sign) would be deducted from the amount they owed for the services performed. In this agreement, the components were "sold" to the subcontractor but no invoicing ever took place for the components.   Just a word of caution ...negative stocks/values for materials can raise many questions for accounting purposes at the end of fiscal periods.
    There have been several reasons for using the negative stock functionality subject to the specific business requirements of your industry. Some of the reasons to use this negative stock feature due to the following :
    1) Sales of finished products to customers. We are cement producer and in an effort to avoid any delay in selling our products to our customers, we determined to allow negative stock posting since it is of our cement industry that cement after being packed will be delivered directly to our customers ie. no temporary storage is required.
    2) The alignment of inventory/stock movement with production process where due to some reason, the reception of raw materials and/or consumables was not maintained on time resulting in interruption of process order confirmation
    As you know negative stock will have negative value, which will have direct impact to financials.   Say you have a material of Qty 10 Each, total worth $ 10.00 in stock and since you enabled negative stock in system ( valuation area level and plant- storage location level ) if you try to issue stock of say 20 Eaches, system will show stock of negative 10 and value $-10.00.
    After that if you try to do goods receipt of say 20 eaches, of total value 20.00 material will have original status as you started. But if the value is different say 25.00, then moving average will be arrived from $15.

  • PRD is not triggering in Negative Stocks allowed scenario

    I am trying to do Subcontracting process with Negative Stocks allowed for the final material and raw materials even & all of them are checked for negative stocks allowed. When I am trying to issue, say 10 units of materials to SC Vendor with ZERO stocks in storage, the stock's updating accordingly as 10-, but while doing MIGO for say 5 units, the stock's updating accordingly, but in FI documents so created, the PRD key is missing. I read bout PRD and it states : Price differences can also arise in the case of materials with moving average price if there is not enough stock to cover the invoiced quantity. In the case of goods movements in the negative range, the moving average price is not changed. Instead, any price differences arising are posted to a price difference account. Depending on the settings for the posting rules for transaction/event key PRD, it is possible to work with or without account modification. If you use account modification, the following modifications are available in the standard system. So, what steps are to be taken in order to trigger PRD key in the FI Documents.

    Yes its correct.. At the time MIRO, if any price difference occurs, then first system checks stock is available or not.. If stock is there then system will take the amount from stock account, if not, then system take the amount in PRD account...
    But here you have activated negative stock. I think because of this your stock account triggered instead of PRD account..
    Can you check and analysis the accounting entry, where the price different amount goes ?

  • WRONG STOCK DISPLAY AT STORAGE LOCATION LEVEL

    Hello to All,
           I've made stock transfer within plant using Mvt. 311, & now when I'm disaplaying storage loc. data in MMBE, MM03 & MC.5, it is showing negative stock for storage location from which it is transferred along with stock value as negative.
       As per IMG settings, negative stock is not allowed also not in the material master. Pls. guide me how to correct this stock, is it related to LIS updation, if yes then what is it's procedure.
    Thanks
    Amit

    If in MMBE, system is showing negative stock then negative stock has to be allowed for that plant, storage location & material.
    Pl check & confirm using following path.
    IMG -> Material Management -> Inventory Management & Physical Inventory -> Goods Issue / Transfer postings -? Allow negative stock.
    Regards
