OBYC of physical inventory in subcontracting

I have to do physical stock taking of the goods provided to the subcontractor.
It will be done as a special stock as O (subcontractor stock).  if in counting the differnece arise from actual counted and in system, it need to be posted.
What G/L accounts it will post? In OBYC which keys have to be used and accounting enteries
Do i have to use the below transaction for subcontracting also:
Inventory Count -MI04 - Enter
Inventory Count -Difference -MI07 - Post

Thanks for your prompted answer.
If I found the inventory of material is less than what i have send to the subcontractor I post the differences. This transaction key GBB-INV will credit the account "expenses from inventory differences" .
I am also using this same GBB-INV for my materials that are in my plant. I understand that the material provided to subcontract is basically our own material.
Then how from the system I can know that we have occured the loss due to subcontract separately from other materials.
I know that that stock will have indicator O. My point is from financial angle.
My doubts are:
(1) how i will recover the cost from the subcontractor through system?
(2) what will the treatment of excise in this case?
(3) do i need to settle all these through the subcontractineg challan what I have given when the materials were send. In this case i will not have finished product
If the material is not coming from the subcontract in 180 days we reverse the credit taken.
How this scenario is done in the companies, what steps are followed?
thanks and regards

    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.

    - 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.
    some more points for posting difference
    - Posting period must be open to post inventory difference.
    - The fiscal year is set by specifying a planned count date when creating a physical inventory document.
    - Tolerence to crear difference per user group can be set in customization.
    - The system will generate material document for the difference qty and post the value to appropriate account (for valuated stock)
    - The movement type in material document will be 701 or 702 based on gain or loss of material.
    Serial Numbers in Physical Inventory
    If material is managed with serial number then it is possible to carry out physical inventory for material with serial number. There are some pre-requisite before you carry out physical inventory for serialized materials.

    - The stock check indicator in the serial number profile should be configured.
    - Maintain basic settings for the serial numbers in customization for Serial Number Profile.
    - Configure serial number management for physical inventory in the Settings for Physical Inventory step in Customizing for Inventory Management.

    Physical inventory can be carried out both for a company’s own stock (Unrestricted, Quality, Blocked Stock) and for special stocks (Customer Consignment stock, Vendor consignment stock from vendor, Returnable packaging). This inventory is carried out saperately for both type of stocks.
    Physical Inventory Processes:

    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, click for more information
    - The transaction codes for creation physical inventory are as follow
    Individual Inventory documetion 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 spcial stock
    MIK1 - Vendor consignment
    MIQ1 - Project stock
    MIM1 - Returnable Transporation 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 doucmen 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 sytem, difference analysis can be carried out using trasnaction 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.

  • Need help in creating a Physical Inventory Document with HUs given

    Hi Gurus,
    There is a problem I am facing while doing a ALV report.
    I have created the report and there is a button which i have fixed which has to create Physical Inventory Document.
    The scenario is:
    I will select the records in the report based on the Vessel Bill Of Lading (VBOL) (related to Batch characteristics of a material) and then i need to pass those values to create Physical Inventory Document.
    I got a functional module HUINV_DOCUMENT_CREATE which will create the document but I am not clear what are the values that I need to pass in this.
    Or do anyone know how to create the Document by passing HU (Handling Units) and Plant & Storage Location?
    Please help me in the same.
    Thanks and Regards
    Vipin Das V

    Hi ,
            Just Pass the table of Handling Unit .That's all.

  • 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.

  • 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.
    Tx

    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

  • Error while creating physical inventory document with zero count

    Hi,
    I am trying to create a physical inventory document for a material that has zero stock and that is not batch managed but I am geting an error as below.
    "Item 001: No batches that can be included in phys. inv. exist.(Message no. M7701)"
    This error occurs only for one or two materials.
    I am able to create the physical inventory document for other materials which is also zero stock and there is no batch managed for the same.
    Can anyone pls advice.
    Regards,
    Ramya

    hi
    if your material is split valuated, but not batch managed, then the split valuation type is shown in field batch number. And...it is a batch then.
    To be able to do a zero count you have to have a batch record whose batch number is the valuation type.
    If you never had stock in the storage location you want count, then you have to
    1. extend the material to this storage location with MMSC
    2. create the batch record with MSC1N for this storage location.

  • Error while activating WM Physical Inventory doc..........

    Hi All,
    While activating an WM physical inventory doc (LI02N) I am getting error as follows:
    "Number of allowed bins exceeded after storage bin 01-01-01
    Message no. L4063"
    Warehouse in SU Managed & has Bin-Sectioning upto 3 -sections.
    Kindly let me know if any more data is required.
    Regards,
    NVK

    Hi,
    I think it is because of the maxinum number of items limited for your warehouse in the SPRO setting LE -> Activities -> PI -> Define differences and document limits. Check the max number of bins/quants allowed per PI document for your warehouse.

    Pls. help in solving the problem.
    Regards,

    Hi,
    before you go any further you should first check with your finance team that the correct GL account is being proposed. the reason that the fields don't match may be caused by the fact that the wrong GL has been set up in the auto tables (Trans event Key GBB, account modifier INV and whatever valuation area and valuation class is relevant).
    If the GL account is found to be the correct one then you need to get someone from the FI team to change the field settings on that account to enable the correct data to be linked to it.
    None of this is the domain of an MM consultant apart fron the auto account tables and so please do involve your FI team before you do too much.
