Physical Inventory on a production shop floor

Hi all,
I would like to know how I should go about physical inventory on our shopfloor. WM is active and HUM is active. Also all the Handling Units are assigned to Production Orders.
I've tried using the transaction codes LX16 and LX15 but I run into the following errors:
>>The HU is assigned to a document. (I find I have to delete the assignment but I have trouble reassigning the HU back to the Production order after inventory is completed because it is then assigned to the inventory document and I do not know how to delete assignment from an inventory document)
>>Search for material in HU storage location is not supported.
There must be some way.
Kindly make suggestions.
Thank you.

Hi
You can use this URL to check documentation for WM physical inventory process - [http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/en/c6/f8480e4afa11d182b90000e829fbfe/content.htm].
Do note this warning from SAP regarding the type of inventory counting procedure you should use:
Some of these inventory procedures are subject to legal restrictions, others may not be suitable for use with your warehouse for warehouse-related technical or organizational reasons. SAP therefore recommends that you define the inventory procedure to be used together with the person responsible for inventories, and agree on the inventory procedure with your external auditor.

Want to create inspection lots during In-House production (shop floor)

Hello,
As per our requirement we need to inspect a material multiple times (3-4 times) during shop floor production. It means we want to check a material say after operation 30, 50, 70 and 110 (of routing). We don't want to start operation 50 unless inspection of material after operation 30 is over. We don't want to start operation 70 unless inspection of material after operation 50 is over and so on.
How can we attain this? We have assigned inspection type 03 in material master - quality management. We have assigned various MICs in concerned operations. Inspection lot is getting generated as soon as the release of production order takes place and it contains all MICs (and operations). We are able to make the result recording and defect recording for all operations at the beginning only.
Is it possible to create multiple inspection lots for these operations and is it [possible to restrict the confirmation of later operation unless inspection of previous operation is over i.e. a usage decision is already carried out for previous operation.

zm008-usage, MARD-storage location, MBEW-material valuation, EKKO-po header, EKPO -po item, EKET "po receipt,
EKBE-po history

Physical Inventory Document deletion in Production system

Hi Friends,
There is an physical inventory document # xxxxxxxxx from 2003, which has
also posting block, which is likely to cause that couple of materials
can not be maintained.
Now This document needs to be simply deleted in tx
MI02. I tried this in Test system and did not have any trouble.
However I am not sure can i do the deletion in Production system..??
Pleae guide me is there any problem in production to cancel this Document.
What type of precations i need to take care in Production system.
Brgds,
RK

Hi there
You can delete it directly, it is not an issue, if you want to cross check ( if the material with CC), you can run in MICn for those materials and generate session page you can see for avail for the generate session to create the new PI/CC (based on the Last count date as the older one, not the recently counted and deleted,,)
Hope it helps

Physical inventory but a part of production still activated

Hello,
Users has to do a general physical inventory but a part of our plant is still working.
We want to use the inventory documents ( MI31, MIK1, MIO1, MIW1 ... etc ).
How to manage the fact that a part of the plant will still working ?
Thanks.
Romeo

Hi,
If it is the case use the indicator freeze the book inventory.
If the count results are not entered immediately after the stock has been counted, it is useful to set this indicator so that any goods movements which may take place in the meantime will not change the book inventory balance relevant to the physical inventory.

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.

Creating single spool request for printing all shop floor papers

Hello PP Gurus,
We are printing shop floor papers at the time of releasing production order using txn CO02. It creates individual spool request for printing different shop floor papers in the same orders . eg Pick list, goods receipt list etc.
Is it possible to do the cofiguration setting to create only one spool request for all the different SF papers belong to same order.? If yes, please let me know the steps for customising this.
Thanks for your help in advance.

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

SFDM Tool (Shop Floor Dispatching and Monitoring), Technical questions

Hi Everybody,
i am very excited to change knowledge here on the SCN.
Right now I am analyzing the SFDM Tool (Shop Floor Dispatching and Monitoring) and need some more Information, which cannot be found via Internet research. I hope someone, who is familiar with the technical details can support me with answers.
1. Master Data:
- How does the Interchange of master data (such as machine capacities in terms of time/quantities or number of available machines) work between the SFDM and the ERP System?
- Is there a permanent interface between the SFDM and the master data in the ERP System?
- If so, which of the master data are communicated?
- Are there any limitations?
- Do BAPIs (Business Application Programming Interface) play a role?
- Is any further master data maintenance necessary, if the customer wants to implement SFDM?
2. There is a backend component situated in the ERP System called "SFDM on ABAP 1.0". What is the aim of this component?
3. Does the SFDM work with algorithms? If so, why?
4. Does the SFDM consider other machines in the same production plant?
5. Does it work over HANA?
6. Any further functionalities or restrictions?

Hi
i wouldn't recommend SFDM for performance problem solving, if this is the issue you are facing.
If this is because planners are "lost" with CM25 because of problems for Production Orders selection and so-on, then try SFDM.
There is no new functionality compared to CM2x transactions within ERP.
The benefits are clearly focused on design and user-friendliness:
interactive logs
easy configuration of settings and strategy compared to CM2x TCodes
accessible details
Please keep also in mind the fact that this is working for individual capacities (cf. Rough Guide) and related constraints in terms of capacity category (only 0001 is supported).
Best regards.

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.
