Negative stock indicator-MRP

Hi All,
Material is maintained in sloc 1000 and 1001 and storage location 1001 is set for negative stock.
Due to goods issue there negative stock entry created in 1001 and MRP is creating planned for the same qty.
How to prevent this?
For example;
Stock in Sloc 1001 = -5 EA.
Planned order = 5 EA
Thanks.

Yes, Sloc 1000 is excluded from MRP. Mvt Type 601 happened from 1001 thatsy got negative in there. I had idea that there is no way net req calc can exlclude negative stock but just wanna check if there is any logic which I am not aware of??
What's the sense of doing net rquirement calculation w/o considering the real stock level in the system = how can you do net requirement calculation without considering the stock level in the system ???
I think you should only understand what net requirement calculation is.

Negative stock indicator

Hi,
Can anyone tell me the path for negative stock indicator?
regards,

Hi sandeep,
In Customizing u can set up negative stock indicator
under Inventorymgmt &physical inventory> Goods issue/transfer posting> Allow negative stocks. U can set negative stocks at valuation area level or storage location level. In material master u can set them in General plant data/Storage2 data view.
Hope this helps. Reward if u find this info useful

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.

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.

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

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

Negative stock of material

I have 1 outbound delivery. When we change the qty in delivery it gives error that
only10.012 TO of mateirla 51600 available.
We have activated negative stock at plant and storage location level in config. Also in material master sales view mateiral is maintained for negative stock.
What can be the issue. If we do another goods receipt for materila 51600 & then try to goods issue as the stock is getting increased . It allowed it.
Why this is happening as material is maintained for negative stock

hi,
negative stock indicator is used for when thier is no availability of stock .
then we have to put the negative stock indicator in material master then we don't have the stocks also we have to go for the issue.
THANKING YOU

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).

Why 'Allow Negative Stock' doesnt go with put away strategy L

Just a quick question
Why Putaway Strategy L doesnt go with 'Allow Negative Stock'

Hi,
If you enter the putaway strategy L- system will finds the next empty bin where there is no quantiy or no quant.
If you assign "allow negative stock indicator", if stock is not there (ex for goods issue / delivery) system will generate a negative stock with a negative quant.
But while placing the new stock system will them neglect the bins with negative quantity (considering as quants), it will place it in the next empty bin.
It contradicts the logicof negative stock check, so standard will not allow negative stock indicator for putway strategy L.
thanks,
JK

Issue while creating negative stocks

Hello,
I have done the requirement setting for negative stocks in system in OMJ1 for plant 1000 ans storage location 0001. Also i have maintained indicator negative stocks in plant in material master. Now when i am trying to issue goods by 201 movement it is giving me error "deficit of quantity in storage location"" Actually it should allow to do negative stock posting with these settings. Please guide me if i am missing anything.
Regards,
Priyanka

There must be an inconsistency between your customizing setting and master data entry and the movement, as there is in general not more that need to be done as you already said, it seems to be equal to what is documented in Allowing Negative Stocks - Inventory Management and Physical Inventory (MM-IM) - SAP Library
So can you post the customizing and material master.

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
Sireesha

Hello Sireesha,
Even I have similar issue, can you please let me know if this is fixed for and how did it work.
Thanks

Special Stock Indicator

Hi. We are trying to come up with a way to not allow picking for material in a WM location that will still allow the netting of the inventory. Because of the complication of an electronic conveyor system, etc, the business does not want to create a new storage location or storage type.
Is there any special stock indicator that will do this? Any other suggestiong ???
Thank you in advance !!
Dianne

I want to be able to net the inventory. I want it included in MRP. And I want to store it in the existing bins and storage types. I just do not want it to be pickable.

Special stock indicator taking wrongly

Dear All,
I have a problem while creating production order for MTO scenario (strategy 20 ).
In the components overview of the production order, system is selecting Special stock indicator as 1 (Individual customer stock) instead of Plant stock.
So that I am not able to issue the components to that Production order from the Unrestricted use stock.
Please suggest me what configuration settings need to be checked.
Thanks & Regards
Bala

Hi,
Pls. make the following change in Material Master :
Go to MRP-4 View---> Individual /Coll. Indicator --->
Change it from 1 Individual Requirements to 2 Collective requirements.
This will resolve your problem.

Special stock indicator in req type

Hi all,
Can anyone tell where is the settings given for the special stock indicator E in Req type KE...
Regards,
Joseph.

Dear Joseph,
I guess this material must be planned using the planning strategy 20,for which after taking a MRP run,the system proposes a
planned order of order type KD and account assignment category as with E.
check the configuration settings for the account assignment category in T.code OPPS for the planning strategy 20.
and for this planning strategy planned materials the system creates planned order for the order type KD - individual customer
order.
Check and revert back.

Special stock indicator in production order

Hi,
We have a new business scenario from sales department.
For example, A is a MTO item, it has component B & C. Now there is a sales order for A come in, and system create a production order, but there is no enough stock for B. They want to:
1, Allocate C to the production order and other production order or sales order can not take it away via V_V2 or MRP run.
2. Create another seperate purchase order for B and want this purchase order also allocate to this production order.
3. They do not want to use WIP stock because it is difficult to display WIP stock in SAP you know.
I trying to use the special stock indicator "E" for components in production order, and I move C to custom stock via 412 E with no issue.
But when I create a purchase order for B with account assignment "F", it goes to normal stock in MD04. After I post GR for the purchase order, the quantity goes to production order directly, does not show in MD04 and did not reduce the requirement quantity.
If I create a purchase order for B with account assignment "E", it gives an error message "Sales document item is not defined for the transaction. I tried to change the requirement type from "KMFA" to "KE" in the sales order for A, and the production order disappeared, it is not accepted.
How should I define and configure the process?
Thank you so much.
Albert

Hi Albert
I suggest you to take a look on the setting "individuall/collective" on the tab MRP4 of the material master.
For both components, you should set the value 1 and system will always plan the components under the sales order special stock.
