Net effect on Physical Inventory WM level

Hi,
While doing the Physical Invetory at WM level, the problem is faced below.
1) say material A is not found in the bin as specified by system (Document created in LX16)
So while taking the difference list the material A is shown as lost.
2) the same material A is found in some other bin which was not intended for it.
so users have added in as new item found in some other bin.
Even though the net effect for the material is nil, but users are worried while doing write off in two levels.(because two different Physical Inventory record are involved in this case)
Is there any way to check with reference to material if it is lost in one location & found in another location?
Or any way to recoinsile the material?
Any reports that gives list of lost & list of founds after Count entered?
Regards,
Vengat

Hi Vengat,
Any reports that gives list of lost & list of founds after Count entered?
You can check LS24 by giving 999 Storage Type in selection criteria for a perticular material.
You can use LX03 for your Warehouse number & Storage type 999 if you want report for all materials at once.
But it is to be done before write off & after Count entered.

Physical Inventory at Storage location level

hi.,
Environment ECC 6.0
Our suggestion on Physical inventory at the client site was as per SAP
"If the flag for posting block is set then no movements can be posted for that material. Note that the inventory document should be created at a material / plant / storage location level so as to not block that material at other storage locations. If a block is not required then do not flag the Set posting block indicator. It is always prudent to restrict the amount of materials being counted and to clear the count results quickly so business is not interrupted"
CLIENT feedback: " Like wise we asked the client to make the selection by Plant = 1000, SLoc = 100, and WBS =2312-344-332 and checked Posting Blocked.
My understanding was that this selection would block only the 1000/100/WBS location.
Client is having a problem is that people trying to transact in a SLoc other than 100 (200, 300, 400) are experiencing the Blocked warning.
I know I heard that we can inventory a Storage location in SAP and lock it and the rest of the sites could continue without interruption.
Any suggestions on how we can achieve this.

Hi,
Are you setting teh posting block at the time of creation of physical inventory document or by running MI32 later?
If you are running MI32, then ensure that you enter teh storage locations correctly, else the material irrespective of storage locatioons may get blocked.
Hope this helps

How to populate list of materials in IM level Physical Inventory document?

Hi,
Suppose we have maintained 1000 materials in storage location ABCD. Now when I undertake physical inventory process at IM level, I have to create physical inventory document for this storage location ABCD and I will have to input all these 1000 materials manually for count process in the document.
Is there any other way whereby if I select the storage location, all the materials which are maintained in this location will get automatically populated in the physical inventory document.
Thanks in advance,
Sanjog

Hello,
SAP provides standard transaction MI31 to create Physical inventory documents. In the selection screen, you may enter your storage location to include all materials of that location.

Creating Physical Inventory at Material/Quant level

Hi,
Is it possible to do Physical inventory at material /quant level in the Warehouse management.
We dont want to do cycle count.
Is their a way to do physical inventory at material/quant level

Hi
With WM you can do Continuous Inventory which counts at the bin level AND if you want to count by Material you can use transaction LICC to do this but in transaction OMNK you set the Invent method to PZ and select the Cycle count box (And the rest of the settings for physical inventoy)
You then have to make your settings for cycle counting in OMCO
Once this is done you can use either to count with
I hope that this helps

Item level physical inventory for warehouse in SAP IS retail

Hi, Can you pls let me know whether its possible to do item level physical inventory for warehouse in SAP Retail, without implementing extended warehouse management. I could understand that SAP is allowing to do bin level physical inventory only in warehouse.
Thanks,
Rajesh

I am not working in retail, but the docu found in the initial screen clearly says it is without special stock.
however, it says as well, if you need functions that are not provided, then you shall use MI31 instead.
first I would open a call at SAP and tell them that WV31 does include consignment despite of different info in the docu.
if it is a bug, then SAP will fix it.
If it is design, then you have to use MI31, and SAP may change the docu in future releases.

Physical Inventory Movement Block not Rest at Storage Location Level

Hi,
We are facing a typical problem in our Production System and the issue is as follows:
1. We have created a Physical Inventory Document for a material with Freeze Book Inventory and Posting Block indicators.
2. We completed the count and entered the same with reference to the PI Document.
3. We reconciled and posted the differences in the system.
4. We still find that in Material Master the Physical Inventory block for material movements was not reset automatically at the Storage Location stock view.
Please help us urgently as all our Goods movements for this material are held up.
Thanks

Hi,
I am able to see 4 PIDs in MI22 for my material.
2 docs pertaining to the latest Annual Physical Inventory in 2010.
These documents are for the same material in the same plant but for different Storage Locations. Out of which when i see the Material Master - Storage Location view, i see that the Physical Inventory Block "X" is set for one of the Storage Locations.
The PID for the Storage Location with this Physical Inventory Block for Movements indicator, is already settled (Count done and no differences in physical and book stock in this storage location).
The problem persists and i need to remove the posting block which was not reset.

Partially Counting Physical Inventory Document

Currently our sites are encouraged to fully count a Physical Inventory document within the same business day. However, it is possible to partially count and post a document. Just wondering if there are any negative side effects to partially completing a count document in SAP? Does a partially completed document lock anything in the system for those articles on the document?
Thanks,
Nicole

Hi,
The question is not addressing the scenario correctly.
Hope you are talking about inventory count at IM level.
If you post the differences after the partial counting then the materials that are not counted will be blocked for any kind of inventory transactions...
Similarly if you do partial counting and post the differences at WM level then those bins for which counting have not been made are permanently blocked and you will not be unblock it for ever.
So if you do partial counting please ensure that difference postings are not done w/o completing the count details for all the items in the document.

Inventory Management- Printing Physical Inventory Document using Smart Form

Scenario: Inventory Management- Printing Physical Inventory Document using Smart Forms
I could found out that there is no standard smart form linked to Transaction MI21(Program-RM07IDRU). There is a sapscript ((INVNET) assigned to this transaction, but my requirement is to assign customized smartform to this transaction.If it is not possible to assign smart form to pgm then is it possible to through enhancement.If yes then let me know the enhancement as there are lot of enhancement in the pgm RM07IDRU.
If you have any solution then kindly mentioned it.
Looking forward for kind help.

Amit

Check out with your SD guy if the items in billing doc have correct pricing conditions triggered.
From the description it looks like some customizing issue.
Otherwise revert back with the logic how are you trying to get the net value of item.

Authorization Control for Physical Inventory Transactions

Can we control the authorization for Physical Inventory Transactions especially MI01, MI02, Mi04, MI07, MI08, MI31 etc. at Storage Location level instead of Plant Level.
If it's not possible at Sloc level does anyone knows the user exit/code we can use enable the authorization check at Storage Location level.

Physical inventory 4.6c & Ecc 6.0(urgent)

Hi all
We are in to 4.6 c and planned to move to Ecc 6.0 in few months. I have a situation like to do the physical inventory of the warehouse but my thoughts would be to do it after the upgrade as we'll have additional features in ECC6.0 for counting.
Do anybody know how ECC 6.0 helps than 4.6C,what will be the advantages to justify it.
please drop whatever suggestions u have, iam sure that will help a lot or direct me to proper docs plz.
Thank you all.

Hi Terry,
are you talking about IM or WM inventory ?
If I remember correctly WM Dynamic Cycle Count (DCC) was introduced from version 4.7 and, as Sap states
"<i>DCC enhances the previous inventory counting functionality by enabling you to count physical inventory at storage bin and quant level during the performance of normal warehouse operations, and allowing the creation of inventory documents when open transfer orders (unconfirmed picks and putaways) exist for a bin. This ensures continued warehouse operations and facilitates cycle counts during peak activity periods</i>".
Is this what are you looking for ?
Best regards,
Enrico

Hi,
1. You can use T CODE- MI23 -Display Physically inventory data for material.
2. You can use T CODE- MB59 -Give material code/plant code/Mov Type 701-702/Posting period -Execute (F8) >> Click on current display variant button (Ctrl+F) for selection "Amt.in loc.cur".
Thanks & Rgds,

Physical inventory, LX16 ,table update LQUA-IDATU

Hi Experts,
When execute LX16 for PI, is this process updates last inventory date at bin level or quant level table ?
After completing LX16 process, and continue to execute Cycle count in LICC , the same materials in which physical inventory were completed using LX16 are praposing for inventory?
Question : why is this even thou PI is completed in LX16, and again same materials were praposed for physical inventory in LICC ?
Is this a SAP standard behaviour?
How Can i avoid for not letting the LICC process to consider materials in which PI completed with LX16.

There is a customizing to define the default values for MI31 selection. But you only need to customize it if you want certain fields in MI31 differently proposed.
Just check in MI31 selection what is behind the button ACC to STOCK in the middle of the screen.
If the boxes for include already counted material / include already counted batches are empty, then it will not include counted materials into the next physical count.

Physical inventory with and without handling unit managment

Hello all,
I would like to know what is the difference between physical inventory with and without handling unit management.
Pl. advise.
Thanks,
Maxx

Assuming you are referring to WM inventory, it is very similar. Inventory is conducted at the SU level in WM if you are HU managed. One of the most widely known issues is the lack of ability to post differences of nested HUs at the WM level. If you are not using nested HUs, the process is the same as storage unit management without handling unit management.

Warehouse Management - physical inventory

Hi All,
Can any body pleasae provide me the entire process of physical inventory count at Wm level.
Thanks
Sunny.

Hi Sunny,
Physical Inventory Processes:
Several inventory processes available for physical inventory which includes as follow:
1. Periodic Physical Inventory
o All stocks of the company are physically counted on the balance sheet key date
o Every material must be counted
o Entire warehouse must be blocked for material movements during count.
2. Continuous Physical Inventory
o Stocks are counted continuously during the entire fiscal year.
o It is important to ensure that every material is physically counted at least once during the year.
3. Cycle Counting
o In this method of physical inventory, inventory is counted at regular intervals within a fiscal year.
o These intervals (or cycles) depend on the cycle counting indicator set for the material in Material Master record as CC indicator in plant view data.
o With this Cycle Counting Method of Physical Inventory allows fast-moving items to be counted more frequently than slow-moving items.
4. Inventory Sampling
o Randomly selected stocks of the company are physically counted on the balance sheet key date.
o If found not much variance between the counted stock and the book book stock, it is presumed that the book inventory balances for the other stocks are correct.
Physical Inventory Process Cycle Flow
1. Creation of physical inventory document
Physical inventory document(s) is created individually or using the batch program, The transaction codes for creation physical inventory are as follow
Individual Inventory documentation creation
MI01 - Individual physical inventory creation
MIS1 - Inventory Sampling document creation
MICN - Cycle count inventory document creation
Collective Inventory document creation
MI31 - Own stock without special stock
MIK1 - Vendor consignment
MIQ1 - Project stock
MIM1 - Returnable Transpiration material
MIW1 - Customer Consignment stock
MIV1 - Returnable material with customer
MIO1 - Material provided to Vendor (Subcontracting material)
2. Print physical inventory document
Physical Inventory document can be printed based on the physical inventory document status and or item status
Transaction code MI21 is used to print the inventory document where print default value can be populated
3. Count the physical stock
Based on the inventory document printout, the warehouse person will check the stock of material physically and note that on print out. This is completely physical process.
4. Enter count in system
On completion of physical count, the count result is needs to be entered in the system. This can be with reference (using Tcode MI04) or without reference (using Tcode MI04) to the physical inventory document.
If count quantity for that material is ZERO then select ZC (zero count) column instead of putting 0 in qty field. If 0 is used for zero count then systm will consider that as "not counted"
5. Analyze difference
Once count is posted in the system, difference analysis can be carried out using transaction MI20
The output gives information based on the input criteria i.e. physical inventory document, plant, material etc.
The output gives information about the book quantity, Counted quantity, difference in quantity and value.
From this output list, you can carry out further process ie initiate recount, change count quantity, post difference
6. Initiate recount and follow the steps 3,4,5
If found unacceptable difference, recount is initiated using directly from difference analysis list (transaction code MI20) or using transaction code MI11.
New inventory document will be created for selected items or for entire document
The original document items will be deactivated once recount is initiated so original document will not be available for further process.
On initiating recount, you need to process same as for new count document.
7. Post the difference
Several options are available for posting difference
Post difference after count is posted using transaction code MI07
Posting the count and inventory differences using transaction code MI08, here you have created physical inventory but not counted so with this you can count and post difference in sinle step.
Entering the count without a document reference using trasnaction code MI10, with this you can create inventory document, enter the count and post difference in single step.
Hope it helps!
Preethi.
