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.

Multiple physical inventory document active for same material-storage locat

hi experts,
I am using transaction code MI31 for creating physical inventory document for all materials at a particular warehouse(storage location). User is selecting direct generation of of PI documents in the transaction. If by mistake he presses execute button more than once system is creating as many copies of physical inventory documents. As per ERP system logic it sound very wrong to have multiple physical inventory document active for same material-storage location ( no batches or special stocks exist ).
Is there a message number or some standard setting to prevent such occurrence.
regards
Avinash

Hi,
Syetem won't create again physical inventory document, if allready PI is active for the same part number, plant, storage location & batch/valuation type.
Check your PI documnets

Physical inventory document creation for split valuated material

Hi
We are doing stock count in our company. We are using split valuation for some of the materials. When I tried to create a PID for split valuated material which are not in stock, system issued a standard error message. What I understood from that error message, we can create a PID for split valuated materials which are in stock. Is it so? If so, then how can we count split valuated material?
Let me know if you need any info.
Thanks in advance..
Jeny...

Please refer to SAP note 30254 and it should help.
Symptom
If you create a physical inventory document for a material in a storage
location without existing storage location segment, error message M7006
is displayed: 'Material & (material number) & (plant) & (storage
location) does not exist'. Thus, a storage location segment is not
created automatically for this material.
The same also applies to the batch segment. The batch segment is also
not created automatically but, if a batch is specified for a material
when creating a physical inventory document, that is not yet created for
this material, error message M7042 is generated: 'Batch & & & & does not
exist'.
The same applies to the special stock segments which are also not
created automatically. Different error messages are generated here
depending on the special stock (see also Note 64448).
Additional key words
MI01, MI09, MI10, M7076, M7183, M7184, M7185, MARD, MCHA, MCHB, MSKA,
MKOL, MSKU, MSPR, MSLB
Cause and prerequisites
If no storage location segment or batch segment or special stock segment
exists to a material, this then means that a goods movement did never
occur before in the system to this material (batch) to this storage
location (special stock), that is that the material (batch) never had a
stock to this storage location (special stock) in the system before and
that it was never posted before on this segment. It is therefore not
possible to carry out a physical inventory for such a material (batch).
It is different, if a goods movement has already occurred to a material
(batch) to this segment and if only the present stock is zero. A
physical inventory is then necessary and also feasible for this material
(batch) since the different segments are not deleted automatically in
the moment in which the stock becomes zero.
Solution
For a material for that no storage location segment, batch segment or
special stock segment exists, it is not necessary, to carry out a
physical inventory on this storage location or for this batch or this
special stock. If, however, a quantity is physically found to such a
material, the corresponding segment must be created before the physical
inventory.
There are 3 options to create storage location data:
       - maintain the 'Storage' view in the material master for the
          material and storage location or
                                                                  Page 2
       - use the 'Enter storage locations' function in the material
          master or
       - post the first goods receipt (providing, the automatic
          creation of storage location data is permitted in the plant
          and for the movement type).
There are 2 options to create batch data}:
       - create the batches in the material master manually via
          function 'Create batch'.
       - post the first goods receipt for the batches to the respective
          material.
You can only post the various special stock segments via posting a goods
receipt. An exception is special stock 'K' (vendor consignment). You
must define a consignment price in the material master for this special
stock using the 'Create vendor consignment' function before a goods
receipt can be posted for this special stock.

Post Handling Unit Physical Inventory Document

Hi Experts,
Is there a BAPI or a FM to post/clear the physical inventory document created for a handling unit? The manual transaction used in this is 'HUINV05'.
If there is no BAPI or FM, kindly help in finding a way how to capture in recording the commands executed in an ALV.
Points will be rewarded.
Thanks...

HI
In the transaction OB52 please change for all account types, since you have changed only for type S which is general, please do change for the rest of the account types like M for material, k for vendor, D for customer as well.
Hope this helps.

How can we do these? I wish to zerorize my SO stock quantity. It was a mistake created earlier.
Thanks

Hi,
Thanks for your helps.
I try, after I run batch input, where can I know the Physical Inventory Document created via SM35?
And I try MI01 with indicate E special stock indicator, it allow to put SO number and SO line item.
Can I know what is different by using MI01 and MIE1? When we will using MIE1?

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.

MI31: Cannot Create Physical Inventory Document for a Certain Material

Dear SAP MM Friends,
Greetings! I am a budding MM functional analyst in our company. I received a call earlier regarding with transaction code MI31 (Selected Data for Physical Inventory Documents w/o Special Stock). The user cannot generate a physical inventory document for a certain material.
The thing is, we no longer have any stock for this material (MMBE). I tried generating physical document again by ticking "Only Materials with Zero Stock" but to no avail.
May I ask what might be the reasons behind? Your prompt response is highly appreciated.
Thank you very much.
Best Regards,
Albert

Hi,
Please check also the existing physical inventory document for material, probably you still have active physical document from previous period.
1. Go to MI22 --> select your plant, storage location or you can also specify your material number --> execute.
2. Check your Physical Document list, at field Status doc. --> if the status is Doc. active, but it is not in your current period, then it could be the problem.
3. Delete the physical inventory doc that you found in step 2 (use tcode MI02 --> physical doc, year --> choose delete button)
4. Try to create new physical document for the material.
hope this help.

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.

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

Automatic generation of physical Inv. docs. for Cycle Counts

I would like to know if physical inventory documents for cycle counts can be created automatically by SAP. i.e. all A class materials will have physical inventory documents generated automatically after every 3 months. Is this possible?
Many thanks.

Technically it is possible to run the creation program scheduled in background.
But not everything what is technically possible makes sense for the business process.
Before you generate inventory documents (it does not matter whether this is anual inventory or Cycle count) you have to make sure that any receipt or goods issue that happened before the count is posted in SAP.
This often can only be achieved by calling the Usual Suspects.
With a good organisation in place this can even be achieved with scheduled jobs, but such good organisations I have not seen often (did I ever?)
Further you might have a kind of misunderstanding. Each cycle count has all due to be counted materials, no matter if the CC indicator is A, B C or D. There is no field in the selection screen to tell SAP to just create inventory documents on A items.
The CC indicator defines how often a material is to be counted, but not when. The when is defined by last inventory, or accounting view creation date. So you should plan to count minimum once in a month, I recommend to do it weekly, but it depends on the number of items you have to count.

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.

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.
