Negative Stock for Zero Quantity

Hello SDN Gurus,
We are facing a problme in Inventory .
We have loaded the data for 2LIS_03_BX and initizalized the Stock and compress the cube with marker update.
Later loaded the data for 2LIS_03_BF and compress the cube with the Marker.
since beginning that is from 01.2006 for ZERO stock we are getting the negative values. As i have serarch for losts of mateirla and found that it cound be incorrect compression hence loaded the data 5 times till now but same issue. Loading has been done by different people still the issue is the same.
Can any one has any idea where is the problem.
Quick response is much appreciable.
Thanks

Hi,
Can u check if your are getting the proper values for the stock from the date of initialization.
If the values are true since from the date of initialization and the prior values to it are negative it means that you have loaded using data sources 2LIS_03_BX amd 2LIS_03_BF.
When ever the data source 2LIS_03_BX is used , it will create the opening balance of stock on initialization day. This data source has to be used when u dont want to load the archived material documents using 2LIS_03_BF.
so, the values prior to initialization day will be negative because the system assumes that as you have done loading with 2LIS_03_BX, u have decided not to load any archived records. So, some incomplete records are loaded. So, all records prior to initialization day will be marked with negative values and negative value of the first record will be the negative of opening balance created on initialization. The negative value for the first record is created just to wliminate the incorrect data that may be shown in the report if at all some documents are archived and not loaded using 2LIS_03_BF.
But from the date of initialization you will start seeing correct values for the stock as opening balance is created on initialization day and follow on material documents are loaded by 2LIS_03_BF.
If you decide to load archived records then use alone 2LIS_03_BF. This will bring all material movememt records into infocube and the correct stock value will flow.
Thanks.

Negative stock for storage location M7 021

Hello
I use negative stock for some materials
When I want to post document in MIGO - 551 scrapping, I have error message M7 021: Deficit of BA Unrestricted-use 1.100 EA: 24000641 XXXX 9999 YYYYYYY
This is ERROR. When I change storage location from 9999 to 0002 message have status WARNING.
I set - allowed negative stock in material master data MM02 and for plant in WB02
Where should I set "allowed negative stock" for storage location, because I need warning for location 0002?
Could You help me?
Thank You in advance
Arek

Go to SPRO>MM>IM>Goods Issue/Transfer posting>Allow negitive stock allowed for plant and then chose the plant and then go for the storage location --> mark the same.

Billing for zero quantity is being allowed

Hi,
We have written a new copy control routine for data transfer VBRK/VBRP from Sales Documents to Billing Documents. This routine is for partial billing. When the partially billed quantity becomes zero, the transaction vf01 still allows the billing. But we should not allow billing for zero quantity.
In the copy requirements routine, it does gives out error message if the quantity is zero. But this copy requirements routine is being called prior to our data transfer routine. So if the quantity becomes zero in our partial billing routine, the transaction vf01 is not giving any error message and it is allowing the billing for zero quantity.
Could anyone please let me know how can I solve this problem or what are the ways to solve this problem?
Thanks..
Priya.

Hi Naren,
The checking part is already there in the standard copying requirements routine, which we are using. There can be many scenarios when the quantity will be more than zero when the copying requirements routine is called and it can become zero only in our data transfer routine logic. The copying requirement routine is being called prior to the data transfer routine, so in the above case, the copying req routine will not add the error message since the qty is more than zero, but it will become zero in our data transfer routine. So the invoice will be created for zero quantity also. Please let me know if there is any other ways to achieve this..
Thanks again..
Priya.

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

Negative stock ('moving average price for material is negative')

Dear all,
I have a question with regards to negative stock.
Does it means if I configure my system (i.e. OMJ1) by allowing the negative stock for a particular plant, the problem of Invoice bumping the error (i.e. 'moving average price for material is negative') WILL NOT happen at all again?
If not, how can I solve this problem?
thanks.
tuffy

Hi,
As Jürgen said price can't be negative. You need to correct MAP first before posting the invoice. Try running consistency check (Tcode: MB5K) you might know the reason why system is showing -ve moving average price and then you can correct.

Differences between reports LL01 and LS24 for negative stock

Dear friends,
Could you tell me the difference between the reports " Warehouse Activity Monitor" (LL01) and "Stock Per Material" (LS24)..
When the negative stock option is chosen ,LL01 is not displaying certain materials with the negative stock.However these materials with the negative stock are displayed in the report LS24.
What could be the reasons?
Thanks.
Regards,
Krishnan.

Hi
There are a couple of things to tell you here.
Firstly LS24 - This shows one material only and you will see where this material is all over the warehouse.
Secondly there is an alternative if you want to see all materials and that is LX02 and in the st type field put *** and you will see everything in the warehouse and if you sort on the available qty field (descending I think but try both) all of your negatives will come to the top of the screen with the largest negative first.
Thirdly LL01 This will only show negative stocks for the storage types that have been included in the configuration for this. Also the negatives in LL01 will only appear after the amount of time you have set in the congiguration whereas in LS 24 you will see them immediately.
So for instabce if you set st type XXX to show negatives after 24 Hours you will not see them in LL01 for 24 Hours but they will be in LS24 AND LX02 immediately.
This does not mean that LL01 is wrong just that youi need to make some adjustments in the config and be clear as to what you want to see and when.
I hope that this helps

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

How to prevent creation of billing docs for Zero Quantities

Hello everyone,
Could someone please help me with this.
We have some invoices created with 'zero' quantities. We need to stop prining invoices for the invoices with zero quantities. Can we stop creating invoice for zero quantities. if yes , please let me know how. Any help is very much appreciated.
many thanks

Dear Simsasha,
Could you please breif whether:
1. Its Order-related-Billing, OR
2. Delivery-Related Billing
If, Its Order-related-Billing, You need to work-around Copy-Control Setting in VTFA; and if,
Its Delivery Related-Billing, You need to work-around Copy Control settings in VTFL.
You need to write Code to check Quantity = 0, and attach the same within Field: Data VBRK/VBRP; to check and avoid Invoice creation, if Invoice-item has billed quantity as 0.
You may work with Program RV60AFZC USEREXIT_FILL_VBRK_VBRP

NEGATIVE STOCK

Dear All,
We are facing a problem on a particular date stock of some materials is showing in negative
because issue qty is greater than receipt and stock qty.
How it is possible that material is issued even if it is not in the stock.
is it configuration error ?
We want if stock is not available system should not allow issuing.
We dont want that any material stock goes in negative.
Please help.

Do you face that problem only in a certain report or is your stock really negative?
In standard settings SAP does not allow to post into negative stock, you have to allow this in customizing for a plant and then in material master for the material.
But I feel you are doing a analysis based on posting dates used. And here SAP does not really check as hard as you may want.
SAP checks only whether there is enough stock right now (or in the period you are posting).
So if oneposts the goods receipt with a slightly wrong date e.g.Aug. 4th while it physically was received on Aug. 2nd.
And later the consumption posting was done with goods issue date Aug. 3rd.
So the physical sequence of posting never lead to negative stock.
But if you analyse stock per date e.g. in MB5B then you may get a negative stock for Aug. 3rd.
But how will you restrict SAP to not allow to post a goods receipt with the current date (if it was received physically 2 days earlier). You just cannot. Option left: teach your users well.

T code ls24 negative stock

Hi Experts,
In t code LS24 in some batches i am having purely negative stock. How to remove this stock? Kindly explain me.
Thank you
Sap MM

Hi,
Do you mean that at WH level (considering all storage types) your stock level is negative from certain batches? Are you sure?
Please check your stock level in MB52 for the storage location that is assigned to your WH.
1.
If stock level from batch is negative in IM too, that means you allowed negative stock for the valuation area / sLoc & material:
http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/a5/63313343a211d189410000e829fbbd/frameset.htm
If this is the case you can eliminate the negative stock in IM by posting stock to your SLoc (GR). After that you can eliminate the "local" negative quant in WM by moving the positive quant to the negative by LT01 / LT10.
2.
If stock level in MB52 is not negative, it means you have a corresponding positive quant in your WH. By moving it to the negative quant via LT10 / LT01 you can eliminate the negative quant.
(it can also happen that there's a bug in the system but I don't think so - in this case you should use LX23 and suitable OSS notes)

Csaba

Allow negative stocks only if i have open purchase order

Good Morning Gurus
How to to the customization for the scenario like
open purchase must for allowing negative stocks in my plant.
with out open po negative stocks should not allow.
can we config for this ????????????
Thanks & Regards,
Naresh

Hi,
Why business go for negative posting, when purchase orders are open and if purchase orders are open, business can go for goods receipt as and when goods are delivered!
For special purpose, business go for negative stock posting with settings in OBY6 t.code for selection of check box 'negative stock permitted' in processing parameters for your company code and with setting in OMJ1 t.code for selection of check box 'negative stock' for your valuation area(plant).

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 while Opening Period

Dear Experts
When I trid to open the new period the system told me that there are Negative Stock even that we didn't enable the negative stock for any material
Please till me the Impact & the solution
Please Advise
Best Regards

Even you are sure you did not flag material for negative stock, if the MMPV program tells you that there is negative stock, then believe it.
If you cannot see any negative stock in MMBE, then check MB5T maybe there is negative stock in transit.
Or let an ABAPer debug the program to find the place here this message is created, to find as well what table and fields are checked in that moment.
