  • Physical Inventory with Serialized Material Masters

    Our meter inventory is serialized under material masters for each meter type. We have separate plants for our gas vs. electric meters, and only one storage location per plant. In one case we have over 15,000 meters under one material master. When performing a physical inventory for material master A we have to enter over 15,000 serial numbers. Has anyone found a good way to enter the count results when you can only enter 18 serial numbers at a time then page down to enter the next set of 18 serial numbers and so on until 15,000 meter serial numbers are entered?
    During testing, we also found that if the entered quantity is not a match to the number of validated serial numbers entered in the Maintain Serial Numbers screen, you need to cancel the session, and start over. Is there a way to correct the inventory quantity without loosing all of the serial numbers just entered?

    Hi Ken,
    Not sure which transaction code you are using. However, the place where you are updating serial number, take a F4; this will open a selection screen (Similar to IQ09 selection screen). On this serial number selection screen, press multiple selection button on serial number - where you will see pop-up for multiple selection for serial number. In this pop-up window, you have one button called "Import from text file". Use this button to upload 15,000 serial numbers and select them.
    So, prerequisite is to create one flat file with 15,000 serial numbers.
    Hope this helps.

    To remove block indicater for material Goto transaction MI22 there you can find whcich PID document active for material.
    Then take the PID document complete the physical inventory process else you can delete PID document through MI02 transaction.
    PID steps:
    MI01 create PID document
    MI04  Enter inventory Count

  • Physical inventory block configuration.

    Hello,
    We have a business requirement to block the bin so that users can not even created deliveries. In the standard system, we have 'posting block' with which you can create an STO, Out bound delivery but can not post the goods.
    But here the requirement is users should not be able to create delivery also, if the particular materials are blocked for physical inventory.
    How to do this
    Regards

    Use Xplant matl status functionality and make a key "blocked for delivery" in the plant which is carrying out physical inventory. Or a development is required byputting the logic if there is any posting block on any material in PI doc then system should throw an error message while creating delivery.

  • 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.

    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 companyu2019s 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 documentation 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 special stock
    MIK1 - Vendor consignment
    MIQ1 - Project stock
    MIM1 - Returnable Transpiration 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 document 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 system, difference analysis can be carried out using transaction 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.
    Serial Numbers in Physical Inventory
    If material is managed with serial number then it is possible to carry out physical inventory for material with serial number. There are some pre-requisite before you carry out physical inventory for serialized materials.
    - Serial number profile must be maintained in the material master.
    - the serialization procedure MMSL (maintaining goods receipt and goods issue documents) has to be assigned to serial number profile.
    - The stock check indicator in the serial number profile should be configured.
    - Maintain basic settings for the serial numbers in customization for Serial Number Profile.
    - Configure serial number management for physical inventory in the Settings for Physical Inventory step in Customizing for Inventory Management.
    Blocked Stock Returns are the stock which is return stock from Customer or the stock which can be return back to vendor. To restrict the usage of this stock mostly business do transfer posting for this mateial as BLOCKED stock

    - the serialization procedure MMSL (maintaining goods receipt and goods issue documents) has to be assigned to serial number profile.
    - The stock check indicator in the serial number profile should be configured.
    - Maintain basic settings for the serial numbers in customization for Serial Number Profile.
    - Configure serial number management for physical inventory in the Settings for Physical Inventory step in Customizing for Inventory Management.
    Blocked Stock Returns are the stock which is return stock from Customer or the stock which can be return back to vendor. To restrict the usage of this stock mostly business do transfer posting for this mateial as BLOCKED stock

  • 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 Invnetory Tolerance in Material Master

    Hi
    Is their any way to maintain the Physical Inventory Tolerance in Material Master along with ABC indicator ?
    Thanks

    Hi Nick,
    As far as i know there's no way to set Physical Inventory difference tolerance limits in the material master. However, you can define upper tolerance limits for difference postings in physical inventory. These tolerance limits can be defined for total and/or each item of physical inventory difference. Then these tolerance groups has to be assigned to specific user names in the system (or "*" to all). This can be accomplished in IMG settings under MM-Inventory Management and Physical Inventory >Physical Inventory>Define Tolerances for Physical Inventory Differences. Read the IMG help documentation to gain a deeper understanding of this feature.
    Let me know if this helped.

  • Warehouse Management - physical inventory

    Hi All,
    Can any body pleasae provide me the entire process of physical inventory count at Wm level.
    Thanks
    Sunny.

    Hi Sunny,
    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, The transaction codes for creation physical inventory are as follow
    Individual Inventory documentation 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 special stock
    MIK1 - Vendor consignment
    MIQ1 - Project stock
    MIM1 - Returnable Transpiration 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 document 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 system, difference analysis can be carried out using transaction 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.
    Hope it helps!

  • Type of Physical Inventory

    Dear All,
                how many type of Physical Inventory we can do in SAP.Please explain in detials & also Steps(T-code).
    Regards
    Pavan

    Hi,
    Physical Inventory Locate the document in its SAP Library structure
    Purpose
    This component allows you to carry out a physical inventory of your company’s warehouse stocks for balance sheet purposes. Various procedures can be implemented for this.
    Scope of Functions
    In the SAP system, a physical inventory can be carried out both for a company’s own stock and for special stocks. Inventory for a company’s stock and for special stocks (such as consignment stock at customer, external consignment stock from vendor, or returnable packaging) must be taken separately (in different physical inventory documents), however.
    Note that the blocked stock returns and the stock in transfer cannot be inventoried. If these stocks are still to be counted in a physical inventory, you must transfer post these stocks to other stocks capable of inclusion in a physical inventory.
    The stock in a warehouse can be divided into stock types. In the standard system, a physical inventory can be carried out for the following stock types:
    ·        Unrestricted-use stock in the warehouse
    ·        Quality inspection stock
    ·        Blocked stock
    Note
    If batch status management is active, the first stock type covers both unrestricted-use stock and restricted-use stock.
    Inventory of all stock types mentioned can be taken in a single transaction. For the materials to be inventoried, one item is created in the physical inventory document for every stock type.
    Physical inventory takes place at storage location level. A separate physical inventory document is created for every storage location.
    If a material does not exist in a storage location, this means that no goods movement has ever taken place for the material in the storage location. The material, therefore, has never had any stock in this storage location. The material does not exist at stock management level in the storage location. It is therefore not possible to carry out a physical inventory for the material in this storage location.
    This is not to be confused with a material for which a goods movement has taken place and for which the stock balance is currently zero. A physical inventory must be carried out in this case, since storage location data is not deleted when the stock balance is zero.
    Physical Inventory Procedures
    The SAP System supports the following physical inventory procedures:
    ·        Periodic inventory
    ·        Continuous inventory
    ·        Cycle counting
    ·        Inventory sampling
    Periodic Physical Inventory
    In a periodic inventory, all stocks of the company are physically counted on the balance sheet key date. In this case, every material must be counted. During counting, the entire warehouse must be blocked for material movements.
    Continuous Physical Inventory
    In the continuous physical inventory procedure, stocks are counted continuously during the entire fiscal year. In this case, it is important to ensure that every material is physically counted at least once during the year.
    Cycle Counting
    Cycle counting is a method of physical inventory where inventory is counted at regular intervals within a fiscal year. These intervals (or cycles) depend on the cycle counting indicator set for the materials.
    The Cycle Counting Method of Physical Inventory allows fast-moving items to be counted more frequently than slow-moving items.
    Inventory Sampling
    In Structure link MM – Inventory Sampling, randomly selected stocks of the company are physically counted on the balance sheet key date. If the variances between the result of the count and the book inventory balance are small enough, it is presumed that the book inventory balances for the other stocks are correct.
    Updating the Logistics Information System (LIS)
    The physical inventory is connected to the Logistics Information System (LIS). When inventory differences are updated in the LIS, they are displayed both on a quantity and on a value basis. The physical inventory items are aggregated at inventory number level, plant level, storage location level, and material level. If you need more detailed information on the inventory differences in the LIS, you can access the list of inventory differences directly from the LIS and continue the analysis at item level.
    Restrictions
    The posting of physical inventory differences is subject to certain time constraints:
    ·        The posting period is automatically set during counting. Therefore, the inventory difference must be posted to the same period or - if postings to the previous period are allowed - in the following period.
    ·        The fiscal year is set by specifying a planned count date when creating a physical inventory document. All subsequent postings to this document must take place in this fiscal year and/or in the first period of the following fiscal year, if postings to the previous period are allowed.
