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.

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.

Not able to enter the count for physical inventory document in WM

Hi All,
I have created a Physical Inventory document using LX16 t-code (WM managed). Since the material and bin stock is zero and When I try to enter the count by ticking zero stock indicator using LI11 t-code, I am not able to save the document and system throws error "Finding empty Quants provided for" and message number is L4058.
Please let me know how to resolve this.
Regards
Krishnamurthy

Yes your understanding is correct but only thing I have not entered qty in the count field rather I set only zero stock indicator.
My requirement is " In Inventory (MMBE) stock of a material shows around "3000" qty. But In WM stock is "zero" and physically also "zero". so in IM also stock should be reduced to "Zero". So I tried of creating PI document in WM and then when I try to enter the count, I faced the menioned problem.

Physical inventory document created for Cycle counting

There are lot of physical inventory documents are created for materials around 2500 automaticallly
I have checked all MMR for materials, all these material set with cycle counting indicator 3 which mean that 25 pdhysical inventories and 10 physical intervels.
I have checked batch input but i did not any found batch input posted for this..
How the physical inventory documents are created automatically for these materilas.
Plz thorugh some light on me..

Hi
There is a process for creating the physical inventory document of your inventory. The lines are separately created for each product batch.
Probably the process will be scheduled and therefore it is executed and created the document.

There is no way to Cancel the Cycle count document. however you can click on 0 count so that it wont post any new entry on the cycle count.

Transaction code for mass creation of physical Inventory document

what is the transaction code for mass creation of physical Inventory document.

MI31 is the transaction to create hundreds of physical inventory documents for annual inventory at a time.
MICN can create several documents at a time for cycle count.
Just look in the menu of phyiscal inventory into the knot Sessions, there are even more e.g. for counting of own stock a customer and vendor location, for vendor stock at own location etc.

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.

Physical inventory document - for all A parts

Hi,
We are in the process of preparing our system for physical inventory count for all A parts (Cycle count indicator is A).
1. We ran MI24 to get all open physical inventory documents.(they are around 100).
2.Then we ran MI31 (didn't create batch input) for all A parts and the following are checked - 1. Material marked for deletion 2. only materials w/o zero stock 3. Unrestrcited use 4. Blocked 4. Include inventoried materials 5. Included inventoried batches. The variant for MI31 includes all A parts in the material selection and the required plant and SL are input. The output said, phy inventory documents could be created for 656 materials.
3. I wrote a query with MARC and MARD to get all A parts with unrestricted quantity > 0 for the above specified plant and SL. The list produced 882.
The above two counts are not matching.
I ran MI31 for some of the materials which are in the list materials as per point 3 but not in the above 2. But MI31 said, no physical inventory document can be created.
We want to make sure both the both numbers are equal (step 1 + 2 = step 3), to make sure all A parts will be counted. Can anyone explain why they are not matching? or Am I missing something?
OR any other ways to make sure all A parts will be counted. Thanks,
Regards,
Sundar.

Please refer my comment. It may be useful for you.
There are two ways if you want to carry out Physical Inventory count
1)Manual -
First check if there are no open PI document for a material using MI31.
Then carry out three transactions one after another MI01, MI04, MI07
2) Automatic
Maintain CC physical inv. indicator in material master i.e A, B, C
Before that ensure that you have maintained SPRO setting for A, B and C.
Ok Now check the planned count date in MARC table. Run a Z program to change the last count date
Now run MICN and schedule a job to create PI documents

Physical Inventory Document deletion in Production system

Hi Friends,
There is an physical inventory document # xxxxxxxxx from 2003, which has
also posting block, which is likely to cause that couple of materials
can not be maintained.
Now This document needs to be simply deleted in tx
MI02. I tried this in Test system and did not have any trouble.
However I am not sure can i do the deletion in Production system..??
Pleae guide me is there any problem in production to cancel this Document.
What type of precations i need to take care in Production system.
Brgds,
RK

Hi there
You can delete it directly, it is not an issue, if you want to cross check ( if the material with CC), you can run in MICn for those materials and generate session page you can see for avail for the generate session to create the new PI/CC (based on the Last count date as the older one, not the recently counted and deleted,,)
Hope it helps

How to view details of Deleted physical Inventory document in a site?

Can anyone throw light on the process to view the details of the deleted physical Inventory document. The status of the document was- Just created , neither counted nor posted. Please let us know the table name or transaction or report to view the same... We are unable to locate the details from ISEG and IKPF table... Is there any other means to find it?
Thanks in advance.

Mahesh,
I am not sure how you have deleted your physical inventory document.
Let us assume you created a physical inv. doc with 2 line items (materials) as an example.
- If you either have hit the 'trash can' delete indicator on the MI02 'initial screen' OR if you hit the 'Deletion indicator' (for both the items) from the MI02 'overview' screen, then you have effectively deleted the physical inv. document itself from the database (IKPF or ISEG tables). You CANNOT retrieve the document any longer.
- If you hit the 'Deletion Indicator' indicator (say for only one item) from the MI02 'overview' screen, then you are simply flagging the item for deletion (ISEG-XLOEK deletion flag is set with an 'X'). In this case, the physical inv. document still remains in the database.
Hope this helps.

Issue while posting physical inventory document

Hi Team,
While posting a physical inventory document system is giving error message saying that
HU exists at another point in the warehouse. Clear the HU first
Message no. /SCWM/GM751
here is my scenario: As per the system bin is empty, while doing physical inventory we found and counted one HU in the same bin. while posting the same physical inventory document we are getting the above error message. as per the system this HU available in some other bin.
could you please let us know is there any process which i am missing before posting the PI document.
while posting the PI document is it not possible automatically HU get move from one bin to other bin?
Thanks
Mastan

Hi kmastanrao
All above suggestion given need to check.
1. Check HU available in WH. In EWM monitor and HU details.
And after finding the status of HU and use as you need in your process.
second if needed I can provide HU table in EWM which can be used.

Physical inventory document creation - MI31

Hi,
We are trying to create a physical inventory documents for certain number of materials, but some of them have only 0 stock and we don't want the list contains the materials with 0 stock. We would like to use MI31 so that we could generate phy. inventory documents. We try to use the check box 'only material w/o zero stock'. But once this is selected we always get the following error mesasge.
No materials for physical inventory found
Message no. M7 198
If we don't check this box, all the materials are selected including 0 stock materials. I checked OSS notes but could find some, but all are applied already. The selected materials don't have active phy. inventory document and have stock > 0 and these materials are valuated and not sales stocks.
If anyone has gone thru this issue, please let me know why it is happening.
Regards,
Sundar.

We cannot use MICN as it could be used to create document on the cycle count date only. We want to create the phy inv document whenever we want to count, so SAP recommended to use MI31 instead of MICN, Also, I checked the OSS notes, it says from SAP release 600, we are in release 46b and the program that they mentioned in the OSS notes is not available in our system.

Sundar.

List physical inventory documents by status

Need to generate a list of physical inventory documents in Not Counted or Counted status, but only need it at the document level. (This is non-warehouse managed inventory)
MI20 and MI24 show inventory documents for different statuses, but they all list the output by document line item. There does not seem a way to compress the list to only the document number without the line item detail. I've checked the layouts and summation levels without any luck.
Ideas?

Hi
In MI20 and MI24, you will not be able to get the list at document level because the count in a PI doc is done Item wise. In the same PI Doc, some items may have been counted and some not yet.
However, you can group the list by PI doc from the Selection screen itself and then using the Layout function, view only the PI doc no and Sl no of the item and Count status (Sl no of item is mandatory field and cannot be hidden).
The other option is through SE16 (Tabl name ISEG). You have many options here. But still you will not be able to get the doc per your requirement. Your requirement has to be a Z report.
Hope this clarifies.
Thanks

Creating Physical Inventory Documents using batch job in WM

We use transaction LX26 to create the physical inventory documents for the storage bins and the materials therein. and the new PI dates are proposed based on the cycle count indicators configured.
We want to automate the creation of physical inventory documents using a batch job. How can we achieve this?
I understand that the program RM07ICN1 generates PI documents only when materials are managed at IM levels and this does not work for WM. Is there any other standard program which can be set up in batch to create the PI documents for the materials at WM level? If there is something then please let me know details....
Thanks,

I entered following details,
WH no.
Storage Type
Inventory in Period (One year date range)
Inventory Count date (Today's date)
The output in spool shows me the following,
No of Records Passed ;Quant Information; InventoryProposal; Later / block; Bin Information; Empty bins; Inventory active
The list of storage bin, material, description & inventory date is also displayed.
Description has Scheudled and Overdue and the inventory date is some dates in next months.
It doesnt show anywhere that inventory document is generated.Please note that I had not selected the Activate Inventory List check box because I just want the system to auto create the inventory documents based on the logic of cycle count indicators.

Physical Inventory Document for Materials in Transfer Storloc

Hi!
Just want to ask how can you capture materials that are in transit/transfer storage location (313 movt.) when creating Physical Inventory Documents? The material is somehow floating since 315 movt is still pending during PID creation.
Book value is zero for both sending and receiving storage locations.

Hi DB,
It is always practiced that, any movements of goods in and out of the storage location be blocked till the results are posted. This means only the Physically available stocks are put for phy inv counting process, thus transit stocks aren't accounted. You can resume the count after the GR of the transit stocks.
The very purpose of phy inv is to check the correctness of the physical stock keeping.
