Physical Inventory on Back Date

Hi SAP Gurus,
We have a scenario, we have done physical inventory on Ist of this month and we have not updated the physical inventory in the system yet. Many material movement have also been posted since then. Now we want to post Physical Inventory in back date. But when we are posting physical inventory using T-code MI10, system updates inventory in current date. Inspite of mentioning counting date and document date 1.1.08.
What should I do.
Ishu

hi,
as u r doing only formality  do the following.
simply create an phisical inventor documnet in MI01, and post the same in MI08- (here mention the actual stock physically available) and the posting date should be the date on which u want to be.
*physical inventory document  date should be lesser thhan or equal to posting date)

  • Physical Inventory Document has to be posted in back date!

    Hi friends,
    A user has created physical inventory document in november, but did not post then. Now MM period is open for December & FI period is open for January. How to post document that was created in november. User do not want to delete & recreate the document.  Can this be achieved?

    the only thing you can do is to delete this document with MI02 transaction.
    you can only post to current and previous period.
    Take it as an experience, next time you will be quicker with your activities.

  • Inventory management and physical inventory data transfer

    hi all,
    can anyone plz povide me with inventory management and physical inventory data transfer tutorial or link.
    points are guarented.
    rgds

    The information behind the blue-button for MI34, MI38 (as you mentioned) does not have enough detail. It's basically one-page. Is there another instructional source available?  How is the logical file MMIM_PHYSICAL_INVENTORY_DOCUMENTS tied to the physical, can you clarify? Not sure how to determine where the sequential file being processed needs to be located. Thanks!

  • Physical inventory - Last inventory date

    Hi,
    We carry out physical inventory using LICC.  Two parts were counted on previous day, however when a new list was generated to count parts  two parts that were counted previously also appeared in this list.
      'Old inventory date' field on table LAGP for these two parts did not get updated either. 
    Please can anyone let me know whey this could be happening ?
    Thanks
    Mira

    I thought the same thing when i checked quant values in LINV and LAGP. 
    1.  I did find more than one quant for the same material.
    2.  User did not give any values in LICC except range of material (to include all the parts in given warehouse and storage type), warehouse number and storage typ.
    Should not this take into account whatever quants there are in the system ?
    I am not IM expert and appreciate your quick reply.
    Thanks

  • Physical Inventory Creation Date

    Dear experts,
    Please advise on the following :
    My user use MICN to generate the list of items that are subjected to Physical Inventory for a particular period.
    Now, they want to know when the Physical Inventory Documents were being created.
    I understand that the the document date in the header level of the PI document will only capture the planned count date of the PI but not the creation date of the document.
    My question is : Is it any field that capture the creation date of the PI document?

    Hello,
    In MI03 header screen, you can see Document Date which is same as creation date. It is at field IKPF-BLDAT.
    Thanks,

    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.

  • Error while activating WM Physical Inventory doc..........

    Hi All,
    While activating an WM physical inventory doc (LI02N) I am getting error as follows:
    "Number of allowed bins exceeded after storage bin 01-01-01

    Regards,

    Hi,
    I think it is because of the maxinum number of items limited for your warehouse in the SPRO setting LE -> Activities -> PI -> Define differences and document limits. Check the max number of bins/quants allowed per PI document for your warehouse.

    Hi,
    before you go any further you should first check with your finance team that the correct GL account is being proposed. the reason that the fields don't match may be caused by the fact that the wrong GL has been set up in the auto tables (Trans event Key GBB, account modifier INV and whatever valuation area and valuation class is relevant).
    If the GL account is found to be the correct one then you need to get someone from the FI team to change the field settings on that account to enable the correct data to be linked to it.
    None of this is the domain of an MM consultant apart fron the auto account tables and so please do involve your FI team before you do too much.

  • Material blocked due to a physical inventory

    Hello,
    I have an issue.
    I have done a stock take via MI01, MI21, MI04 and finally MI20!
    When I afterwards create a delivery with one of that part that was counted it gives me an error message saying:
    M7100 - Material xxx blocked due to a physical inventory
    When I look into the inventory document it says: Counted, adjusted.
    While debugging I found out that the process somewhere checks MARD-SPERR which is X for that part and therefore outputs messsage M7100!   But X only indicates that posting block was set while physical inventory was done!
    Does someone have an idea? Is there maybe a report to verify and correct inventory status?
    Hope someone can help, cause I've counted a hundreds of parts which are now blocked.
    Thanks for your reply.

    If you enter the differences for your physical inventory documents against those materials, then the posting block check shall automatically go off and you can do the material movements.
    First, you need to check whether you posted the differences for the respective physical inventory document.
    If not you need to post the difference first as it may lead to data inconsistencies.
    To remove the posting block go to MI02, enter the physical inventory document number and year, now go to Header and untick the posting block check box.
    Posting block indicator
    The indicator remains in the physical document header even if the stock is unblocked through the posting of inventory differences. It then only indicates that a posting block was set for the documents.
    The blocking indicator can be set in one of two ways:
    Directly upon entry of the physical inventory document (if the count is to take place immediately)
    Shortly before the count (if the count is to take place later)
    You can set the indicator by choosing Physical inventory document -> Change in the header data of the physical inventory document or via batch input.
    Now you can create delivery for the materials.

  • Posting a physical inventory document

    Hi  Experts,
    My colleague was posting a physical inventory doc through transaction MI07 last month, January. However, we got an error which says period 012/2009 is not open for account type S and the G/L account. I noticed that the posting date of the inventory doc is by december. in addition to that, we could not open the 012/2009 period. we tried posting it this month but we still got the same error. I appreciate any comment regarding this. Thanks!

    there are 2 requirement, the posting period in finance (OB52)  has to be open for postings, and the MM period has to be open for posting.
    In MM you can only post to current and previous period.  Even you still can post to last year in Finance, MM does not allow this anymore as we currently have February and december is not the previous period to February.
    Hence you have only one option; Delete the inventory document in MI02, and create a new inventory document and conduct the count.  Take it as learning experience. Next time you will post documents in the SAP given allowed time frame.
