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.

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.

Automatic Physical Inventory Document creation

Hi Gurus,
In Customising for movement type, it can be specified whether a physical inventory document can be generated when that goods movement is posted. I am unable to understand why certain goods movement type require the physical inventory documents to be generated. For eg, movement type 653. Can someone explain the business requirement for a physical inventory document to be generated for this movement type?

if 653 movement is customized to generate an automatic inventory document, then this is a customizing done by you or your colleagues. SAP delivers only movement types 711 to 718 with this indicator activated.
go to OMJJ, put the cursor to this box and press F1, SAP explains very well the purpose for this settings.

Issue in MI31 Transaction - Physical Inventory Document

Hi All,
We are creating Physical Inventory documents using MI31 transaction for all storage locations by passing Material and plant.
We are getting error message as " A system error has occured while locking". We are getting this message only for a particular storage location (Floor Stock) of the plant.
We dont know if this is a Database locking issue.
Any pointers to the problem will be definitely appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

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.

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.

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.
Thanks,

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

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

2. In qulaity system, afetr executing MI31 for Plant 3070, no PID is generated for Sloc 0010 even though the sloc is having materials and those are warehouse managed and having warehouse management views are therein material master.
where i need to check for the problem,
Please help me in resolving this issue, this is high priority for me.

in your training documents (just kidding) .
You wrote that your storage location is warehouse managed. But MI31 is the transaction to craete physical inventory documents for a non-warehouse-managed location.
You have to create your physical inventory with WM transactions like LX16.

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.

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

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.
