Physical Inventory Count with Batches / Inventory Tracking+Posting

Hi,
There does not seem to be any way to record a Physical Inventory count with Batch managed items.
Scenario-1: In case 1.8 kg of batch number 222 is counted during Physical Count. B1 has Batch number 111 with quantity 2.5kg. B1 assumes that a lesser quantity of existing batch 111 was counted and the batch SELECTION screen appears.
Scenario-2: Similarly, if 3 kg of batch number 222 is counted during Physical Count and Batch number 111 exists on Business One with quantity 2.5kg, then B1 assumes that a new batch was found and the batch CREATION screen appears.
Scenario-3: If 2.5 kg of batch number 222 is counted during Physical Count - with Batch number 111 on Business One with quantity 2.5kg, then B1 assumes a zero "difference" in posting window. Wrong batch removal and new batch addition cannot be done - the batch selection/creation screen does not pop up with CTRL+TAB.
A Physical inventory count sheet with hundreds of rows with all 3 above scenarios in the rows is normally supposed to be entered into any system.
An easy way to do this should exist on SAP B1 but does not appear to exist right now.
Thanks,
Ajay Audich
Message# 551219/2009
Dear Ajay Audich,
Thanks for your message and screenshots. In current version of SAP Business One, the Inventory Posting functionality does not offer input at the batch level. The system behaves in the following way:
If the Difference number is positive, you will see a Define Bathes
window where you can assign the item quantity to the relevant batches.
If the Difference number is negative, you will see a Batch Number
Selection widow where you can issue item from the relevant batch.
So it isnot possible to enter the count for batch managed items per batch. The possible workaround is after Inventory Posting, use Goods Issue and Receipt to manually adjust the Batch quantity.
Please kindly have a try. If the feature is important for customer
business process, please kindly refer to attached Note 1028874 for
further action.
Sorry for any inconvenience, we appreciate your understanding.
Kind regards,
Canna Mu

Inventory Count for Batch Managed materials - Plant, S.Loc and Batch Wise

Hi.,
In the company's current scenario, the printing of batch managed materials are scheduled under 3 Job names.
1. First job determines the materials/batches that need to be created today using Program RM07ICN1
2. Second Job Processes the BDC Session created by Program RM07ICN1 using Program: RSBDCSUB
3. Third Job prints the Inventory tickts at the appropriate Storage location using Program: RM07IDRU
Each Job has its own variant.
The Variant for SL.No 1 is defined w.r.t
i. Material Type : Two Material types have been defined
ii. Under selection variable, GIDAT ( Planned count date and GBDAT are flagged.
Current Analysis:
A. The inventory documents get printed with Materials as per the cycle counting indicators defined which govern which material has to be currently counted.
B. Inventory documents are generated for all materials in all the plants and in all the storage locations
C. Batches for a material number may print on different cycle count documents throughout the year.
Customer requirement:
The inventory documents to print on basis of
1. Material, Plant and S.Loc.
This would help in identifying the batches which are currently being counted as well.
2. Customers requirement is to ensure that all batches are accounted for and will identify any overage of batches since in the current process, they are never reviewed as a whole.
QUESTION:
1. How to configure the Customer requriement.
2. How to configure the Variant/s, if thats the place the configuration has to be done to satisfy the customer.
3. How to activate the Variant in SE37 after definition in the Step Indicator. Does it activate on execution?
When i run the Program using SE38 , maintaining options in the Screen ( giving Material, Plant and S.loc), i get the desired list (Batches w.r.t Material,plant.S.Loc). But there is a list of over 150 Batch managed materials and it would not be physically possible to maintain the variant for each each Material,plant,S.loc wise.
Is there a way to configure the customer requirement/s.
Any and all help is much appreciated.
Thanks

Hello Mahesh,
<b>Customer requrirement is specific, they want a list of Inventory Documents to be generated on basis of Material in each Plant-S.Loc batch wise.</b>
Then you need to define multiple varinat for the program.
<b>(a) If i am giving two variants in the same Program name RM07ICN1, how to execute one after after in sequence.
In testing, I have defined in the " Step", Progran RM07ICN1 with one variant and Program RM07ICN1 with another Variant. But on execution of Program RM07ICN1 thru SE38, the screen defined latter ( second variant screen data ) is displayed.</b>
You need to define several steps in SM36 transaction for the program using each variant. SE38 you can use only to save your variant data so later you can use this variant in SM36.
Once you schedule the job with SM36 and release it then it will automatically execute this job as per your criteria (timeline)
Hope this helps.

Inventory Count Authorization

Whom should be posting the inventory count? An inventory management personnel or an independent person posted in accounts or finance department (the logic being the inventory count may involve inventory write off / write in!!!

Hi,
Transferring Physical Inventory Count with Reference to the Document
In this case, you use program RM07II34 (Batch Input: Enter Count with Reference to Document).
Transferring Physical Inventory Differences with Reference to the Document
In this case, you use program RM07II38 (Batch Input: Enter Count with Reference to Document, Post Differences).
Transferring Physical Inventory Count Without Reference to the Document
In this case, you use program RM07II39 (Batch Input: Enter Count Without Reference to Document).
Transferring Physical Inventory Differences Without Reference to the Document
In this case, you use program RM07II40 (Batch Input: Enter Count Without Reference to Document, Post Differences).

BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE, will do the goods receipt ( MB01 )for the subcontracting PO with batch management.

Dear Professionals ,
I Just want to confirm that whether BAPI "BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE " will do the goods receipt ( MB01 ) for the subcontracting PO with batch management.
Since I will be passing only 101 mvy type in BAPi, will the system automatically call 543 mvt type with batch management and post the consumption.
can I change the batch of the component items ?

Hi ,
Delivery note is like a ref document number
so you can use the
In the BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE There is header structure BAPI2017_GM_HEAD_01 which has a field REF_DOC_NO
you can pass the delivery note value to that field .

Inventory: Movement after count with post date before the count date.

Hi,
We have stock movements all the days of the week.
We conduct physical inventories on Sunday mornings. There are not stock movements on Sunday mornings (stock movements on Sunday starts at night).
Usually we create the SAP Physical Inventory Document on Fridays, assigning Saturday as the Planned Count Date.
We enter the SAP Physical Inventory Count on Sunday (at the end of the count) or on Monday.
How you recommend us to use SAPu2019s Physical Inventory feature in order to calculate the Book Inventory considering all stock movements with posting date less than or equal to Saturday?
Please, suggest us a solution that If we register a movement after we enter the count but with post date before the count date (and the count is not posted yet), the Book inventory is modified accordingly.
Thanks in advance for your support!!

SAP takes the book inventory in the moment you enter the count.
Best you set block movements , this block will be removed automatically when you enter the count. So you can prevent users from posting until you have entered the count.
If you set the freeze book inventory, then SAP takes the book inventory in the moment you create the document.
This is not a good way if you still have movements after inventory document creation and actual count.
You have to make sure - organisational wise, outside SAP - that all movements that happened before inventory count are posted before you start entering the count. There is nothing in SAP that can help you in this case.

Problem in the Physical Inventory Count

Hi Experts,
We are facing a problem in the Physical Inventory Count as below
1) Suppose for Material XYZ we have done the MI01 on the current date i.e 14.11.2008 with the Planned Count date as 08.11.2008 activating the Freeze Book Inventory check box.
2) Now if there is any movement of material XYZ between 08.11.2008 & 14.11.2008, then while doing MI20 it compares the Physical Count Quantity with the actual book quantity as on 14.11.2008 i.e the current date & not with actual book quantity as on 08.11.2008 which is required by us.
Can you kindly help us in rectifying this issue at the earliest???
Regards,
Samir Bhatt

hi,
In such cases, you use the adjust Book inventory indicator...
SPRO --> MM --> Inventiry management and PI --> Physical inventory > Settings for the PI> Activate the ADj book inv indicator for your plant as per your plant and make the choice btween 2 and 3...
By this the system will auto adjust the book inventory and the count for the goods mov posted.....
Note: This feature is allowed if the posting is done one day after or before...
But in your case, the days are more, so you need to use the recount technique...

Customized physical inventory upload with serial number

Hello SAP gurus,
My client have a requirement for physical inventory upload in bulk.
Their requirement is - they will create physical inventory document using MI31 and MIE1.
Then they will take printout of these documents- will add physical count into it.
Then they want upload this file to post difference.
They don't want to do it manually as they have large amount of data.
They also want to incorporate serial number in it.
My query is as we are posting difference using z-program with serial number-
1.if one material with serial number have stock 10 in unrestricated and 5 in quality.
different serial numbers are assigned to unrestricted an quality stock. At the time of entering count e.g.for Unrestricted if physical stock is 11 .
then system will ask for 11 serial numbers. they will provide 1 serial number for extra material which we can fetch from file.
But as we are doning in background , we want pick 10 serial numbers for existing material and again assign them. Same scenario may be for quality.
From where (table) I can find these serial numbers assigned to unrestricted and quality stock to pick and again assign to them?
2. I have query regarding physical inventory count for special stock e.g. sales order specific stock.
In which case special stock in SAP may differ from physical stock?
If in any sales order have 5 qty of material and in storage location have stock 4 or 6 for that sales order.
Correct me if I am wrong, because I am not able to understand physical inventory for special stock?
3. I got error for a special stock material i.e. sales order specific material under quality and with serial number- When I am trying to post
physical inventory differnce , then system gives me error - You can't post differences as serial requirement is set.
Post it by 711,712,713,714.
Why this error popup?

Issue resolved. We have developed custom program for it.

Inventory count w/o reference doc "MI09" with IDoc WVINVE02

Dear forum,
I am trying to create an inventory count without reference to a document and I thought I would use IDOc WVINVE02 with message code WVINVE. We don't have an SAP inventory document, but would like to use just an external reference.
When running transaction MI09 in the GUI it's quite easy to create an inventory count using:
Plant
Storage location
Special stock
Count date
Material
Quantity
Unit of measure
That's all we want to have.
I have tried to post an IDoc WVINVE02 inbound using FM IDOC_INPUT_STORE_INVENTORY with the corresponding data, but without success. The IDOc interface only states "IDoc not fully processed".
I need some help with how to input data and also need to understand if it is possible to use this IDoc for inventory count WITHOUT a reference document. The documentation available is not clear enough on this. Has anyone experienced a similar challenge?
Thanks!

Inventory status for a date in the PAST with BATCHES with VALUE

Hi,
How can I get a status REPORT of all inventory as on a date in the PAST with BATCH numbers and VALUE?
The following ready reports do not solve my problem:
1. Inventory Status: This gives CURRENT date inventory QUANTITY only.
2. Inventory in Warehouse Report: This gives CURRENT date only, no BATCHES.
3. Inventory Audit Report: Doe not give BATCH numbers and ignores qty without transactions.
4. Inventory Valuation Report: Meant for "what-if" only.
5. Inventory Posting List: Does NOT give BATCH numbers
6. Batch Number Transactions Report: Doe NOT give VALUE.
I suppose an SQL will be required for this requirement?
Thanks,
Ajay Audich

Hi Rozario,
Thanks for the pointer. Could you or anyone of the gurus out there have a code for doing this which will achieve this?

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.
