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

Physical Inventory Freezed - Urgent Customer Order

Hi Gurus,
While performing physical Inventory, all my Org/Sub Inventory has been freezed.
Same time my regular, important export customer requested sales order for few items, needs to ship items urgently?
How to perform transactions in the system, if Org is freezed.
I have advised the client to do offline transaction and perform the transaction once Org is unfreeze but client has to export items to other country, all documents BOL, Commercial invoice all are compulsory.
Please advise the best solution to achieve this scenario.
Regards
Chini

what you described is not subject to customer material inforecord.
Your scenario can be met with material determination. This can be maintained in VB11.
When you enter material number 536 in sales order, SAP automatically finds 235. where your inventory is managed.
But if 536 is your customers material number, then you can maintain this as info in the customer material inforecord, and it will print in your sales order. But you then will never enter 536 in the sales order, you will always enter 235 in the sales order. You can just use the F4 search help to search for your 235 by specifying 536 in the matchcode (material to customer)

Urgent: regarding physical inventory report display

hi,
i had made a report in which i have to display the physical inventory report details in which details about the material is to be given.
I want to check the details which are present in the tcode MI07 . Can anybody tell me any tcode in which i can see the details of mi07 tcode(including the reason of it).

Greetings,
It might shed some light to read about the display in your portable computer: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LCD
LCDs are primarily plastic panels with various layers inside. Pressure applied to those panels can cause them to crack, leaking the liquid crystal components about. Pressure could be heavy books in a bag pushing against the screen, heavy cat sitting on a closed lid, dog, other animal, someone slamming the lid, child running through the room, etc. This applies to any LCD whether it be in a computer or in a Television (don't press too hard on your TV screen!!).
Displays don't exhibit the type of damage you indicate by themselves. A single pixel might go dead in an LCD but zig zag lines indicates cracking of the layers inside the panels themselves. Something from the outside world made an impact on the display resulting in the damage you see. You may not have been the one pressing hard on it and you may not have seen it happen, but something happened.
The 1 year limited warranty and AppleCare protection plan offer coverage for component failures, not damage.
Coverage for damage would be provided by something along the lines of insurances (home owners, renters, etc.) If you purchased this computer with a Credit Card you may wish to contact your Credit Card company. Many cards have included insurance for purchases you make so even if an item is damage during your use of it, they will cover it.
Best of luck.

Hi Esperado9,
In MI01 there's a thick box: 'Posting block'. If you put a thick in it the material will be blocked.
(In MI02 you can remove this thick and then you can enter the inventory count for that material in different storage location.)

Physical Inventory:
Physical Inventory is a business process in which physical stock is matched with book (system) stock. It is legal requirement to carry out physical inventory at least once in a year.
Physical inventory can be carried out both for a companys 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:
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, 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.
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.

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.

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

Problem in physical inventory

Hello Experts,
We created 80 physical inventory documents to count almost 4000 materials, but we realized that it is not possible to count all 4000 materials in one day so we decided to count it over the period in 8 phases. So, we deleted the 80 physical inventory documents.
But, still all the 4000 items are blocked for inventory goods transactions though we deleted the physical inventory documents.
Can you please let me know, what can be the reason? It's very urgent. We can't do anything with these materials.
Thanks,
Input

Hi,
You have created 80 physical inventory documents and may be any one ( may be for all) physical inventory document Posting block check box selected during physical inventory creation in MI01 t.code.
Posting block indicates that no goods movements involving the materials listed in the physical inventory document can be posted for the duration of a physical inventory count. The indicator is set for the affected stocks in each case for all associated stock types and is not cancelled until the count results are posted.The blocking indicator can be set in one of two ways:
A.Directly upon entry of the physical inventory document (if the count is going to take place immediately)
B.Shortly before the count (if the count will take place later in quick time)

Physical Inventory SAPscript form printing.

Hi Friends,
we have developed a SApscript form and print program for physical inventory documnet . and we r using z transaction code to run this..
now the requiremnt is . the same form and print program need to be called when they run the transactions MI03, or MI01 or MI02.
it seems to be there are no Output types related to physical inventory.
Could any one of you guide me how to do assign this custom form and program to these transactions.
Its bit urgent.
thanks in advance.
Jeyaseelan.G

Dear all,
I think I've got the answer (even though it is 3 years after question was posted).
Let me re-cap the problem:
1) A set of SAPscript form and print program (beginning with 'Z') for physical inventory document are developed
2) This set of SAPscript form and print program produce similar printout as that in T-code: MI03, or MI01 or MI02
3) The SAPscript form is copied from "INVENT" or "INVENT_VKBW" and the print program is copied from "RM07IDRU" or "RWWVINVB"
4) However, there is no output types available for configuration for user to print physical inventory document using this new set of SAPscript form and print program
Am I correct ?
The re-solution is: Maintain the output types entries (program, form) in table "T159N"
1) T-code: MI01 , MI02, MI04 will call T-code: MI21 when user selects to print physical inventory document
2) T-code: MI21 will call print program "RM07IDRU" (this is maintained in T-code SE93)
3) Program RM07IDRU" will call SAPscript "INVENT" or "INVENT_VKBW" (this is maintained in table "T159N")
Hence, if you develop new sets of SAPscript form and print program (by copying from "INVENT" or "INVENT_VKBW" / "RM07IDRU" or "RWWVINVB"), try table "T159N".

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

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

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.
