Negative stock vs MCHB message M7 238 (batch/separate evaluation)

Business scenario:
When working with batches (we only have separate evaluation active, but in this case SAP standard uses batch=separate evaluation... mcha and mchb tables), I can only post the first goods movement when table mchb has an entry, this is ussualy done at the time of the first goods receipt...
I want to start goods movements (goods issue) for this new material/evaluation/st location before the first goods receipt... so I've set up the negative stock option in customizing and material master... althought it still issues the same message: M7 238.
I guess if we set up the negative stock option, then the first goods movement (an exit), should create the entry in mchb...
Any thoughts on this scenario?

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 in MB5B

Hii,
When i execute the mb5b for stock on posting date system is showing the negative stock.
For Eg:
Stock of one material is showing me as -50 No's as on Posting date 10.02.2008
In MB51
GR 101 for 100 No's on 29.02.2008 with Entry date: 29.02.2008
GI 201 for 50 No's on 10.02.2008 ( it is showing me as -50 No's but stock was not there at material level on 10.02.2008) with Entry date 01.03.2008
User has changed the posting date as 10.02.2008, which the entry date is 01.03.2008.
So, System is not considering the stock when it was received. In case of non batch managed materials why system is behaving like this ??
Is there any standard feature to control it ??
Please suggest!

Hi,
Whatever example u have given is nothing but a negative stock.
In SPRO-> Financial accounting> Global settings,there is setting for company code where we can decide whether to allow negative stocks or not by selecting the block.
In that if we select it, then we can issue the material before receiving it.Ultimately it will show negative stock. And as soon as you receive the material, it will become positive.
I've tried my best to explain, try this.
Reward points, if found helpful.

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)

Implications that we could have if we allow Negative Stock in SAP

Hi Gurus.
Can I have in details the Implications that we could have if we allow Negative Stock in SAP please ?
Thanks
Nainar

Hi Nainar,
Implications in the sense, if you try to issue more stock than the existing. System pop up an error message that insufficient stock.
If you activate the Negitive stock then the system allows you to issue the stock.
Ex : Suppose ur company has power cut and u use generator at the time of power cuts.Now that u use diesel for generator, if suppose u have stock physically avaliable in ur plant and u didnt enter the GR(not avaliable in system). At this point u have to issue the diesel to run generator, hence system will show you negitive stock(-ve quantity) the amount u have issued. Later when u enter GR, it will tally issed quantity.
To activate Negitive stock at plant level, follow the path
SPRO>MM>Inventory Management and Physical Inventory>GI/Transfer Postings->Allow negative stock.

LQ02 - Transfer Posting in IM - *Bin wih positive and Negative Stock*

Hi All,
I've a problem with LQ02, when i've executed this transaction for Block STock category S, it is updating the BIN with Nagative and Positive Qty. (For the same material/Batch/Warehouse/Plant)
Here is the example data from LQUA
LGNUM     LQNUM     MATNR              WERKS     CHARG     LGTYP     LGPLA

402     11612845     037109119C     402     DOMS     999     REFUSALS
If I see LS24/LX03 i see two entries one with positive stock and one with negative stock, but in this case it should match and no records should be dispalyed.
Please let me know what changes i need to do?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
I am applying condition to display negative stocks.
Situation is like In the columns , I have key figure stock quantity and stock status(QI , blocked etc)
Accordning to the stock status column is created and all the materials are displayed for that status.
I have put condition on stock quantity to display only the negative stocks.
The result of the report is ok but in one case it is displaying stock qnty 1(positive stock) as well as the negative qnty for that material for different QI status.
I am not able to understant why this positive value is getting displayed in the report when I have put the condition , stock < 0 .
It is happening for only one material whose batch number is same and storage location is also same. But positive value is surpirsing me.
Please let me know if somebody has solution or idea how to solve this situation.

Material Revaluation with negative stock

Good Afternoon,
Iu2019m working with negative stock, standard valuation method and item cost by warehouse in SAP B1 2007 SP01 PL08.
I need to update the standard cost of all items and I'm trying to do that using the Stock Revaluation Transaction but I have the error message: u201CItem XXXXX has been selected with a negative stock quantity and cannot be revaluedu201D and u201CSelected items cannot have a negative quantityu201D. There is any option to work around these messages and update the standard cost?
Thank you,
Susana Cunha

Hi Senthil,
I don't know how could you so sure about Negative inventory management is a bug in SBO. You know, there is not much you can do once the inventory become negative. SAP allows it happen simply because some one may not or may not have a way to care about the accuracy of the inventory. The best way is setting to not allow it. The negative inventory is never logical for any applications to MANAGE them.
Thanks,
Gordon

Negative stock implementation

Hi,
We want to implement negative stock instead of COGI.Hence i need to know what are the advantages and disadvantages in negative stock and also how to implement the negative stock?
PS: we are using the batch management for the raw mateials.
Kindly give suggestion.
Regards,
P.Selvakumar

Hi,
As per standard practice, it is not recommended to use negative stocks. It may result in serious inventory control issues. Since you will continue to do GI for raw materials etc. irrespective of stock availability.
You can avoid COGI by following way :
In OPK4 Production Order confirmation parameters select your respective production order types go to Individual Entry General tab where you need to maintain tick in check boxes Goods Movements & Termination of Incorrect Goods Movements under Error Handling / Logs tab.
This practice will help you incorrect goods movement going to COGI and also prevent confirmation without proper goods movements.
Hope this helps.

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 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.
Read OSS note 520010

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.

Sowmyesh Maniyar

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 ?
