- 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 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.

Error in MI07 physical inventory posting

I am getting the error while doing MI07 (Physical inventory posting) the Physical inventory. The error is as follows:
No accts maintained for company code clearing between comp.cds 765 and 350.
Message no. F5730
Diagnosis
A company code clearing transaction requires that you maintain clearing
accounts for each of the company codes involved.
System Response
You must carry out company code clearing for the posting.
You cannot carry out the posting if you have not assigned any
clearing accounts.
Procedure
Maintain the clearing accounts.
This is coming because there are some entries that got copied while copying the plant and the cmpany code but i am unable to trace that. Can anyone help.
I have created the material for the plant defined under the Comoany code 765 but the posting is happening for the 350

Hi,
when you are doing a PI , where there will be question of two company codes? may be the material you have taken with another plant that belongs to another company code?
or is this materiial is companu code to company code sto transffred material? check if there any in transit exits.

Physical Inventory Post difference to a diff Cost Center

HI
I am posting a Physical inventory difference using MI07
Based on the plant i want to post to different Cost Center, is there a way that i can manually provide a cost center in MI07
presently it goes and pulls it from OKB9(default Value), My situation is i have 10 plants For each plant it needs to post to different cost based on the plant
Thanks

OSS note 13423 says:
No account assignment can be entered when posting inventory
discrepancies.
Cause and prerequisites
This function is not implemented.
Solution
In Customizing an account assignment can be made for every inventory
adjustment account. To do this the inventory adjustment account must
first be defined as a cost element (Transaction KA01 / KA06):
Accounting -> Controlling -> Cost centers -> Master data -> Cost element
-> Create primary / secondary. Then an account assignment can be made
for the cost element (Transaction OKB9):
Tools -> Customizing -> Setup menu -> Accounting -> Controlling -> Cost
centers -> Actual postings -> Automatic account assignment.
If this account assignment is implemented every posting to the
particular inventory adjustment account will automatically receive the
appropriate account assignment.

                  I got the same error message ,
                  so I'm wondering , how do you fix it ?

Determination of Book Quantity in Physical Inventory

Dear Experts,
May we know how is the Book Quantity in MI20 being determined? Because when we processed a physical inventory, the book quantity as per MI20 differs from the inventory balance in MB51.
Your help will be rewarded. Thank you.

To help you better understand our problem, below is the scenario:
1. Physical Inventory Document (PID) is created today (Oct 27, 2008) but the planned count date is Sept 15, 2008.
2. Inventory balance as of PID creation date differs from the inventory balance as of Sept 15 2008 (which is the count date).
3. Physical Inventory count was entered today with Sept 15 2008 as count date.
4. When we view the List of Inventory Differences, the book quantity reflected is not the inventory balance as of Sept 15 2008.
Please enlighten us. Thank you.

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
