Physical Inventory -PIAC Status active

Hi All,
I am facing the below error after deleting a item in physical inventory document.
Can any one let me know how to remove this and what is EQU. I know something is to be done in BS22.
System Status PIAC is active (EQU 2172506)
Regards,
Umesh

I cant help you much, as I have no experience with serial numbers yet. 
But why does one remove items from a physical count? I cant really imagine a business background for such.
If the item is proposed in an inventory doc, then I count it, even I may already know that this item is not there or placed somewhere else. of course I then have to create another count to count the item where it is, to finally have a correct stock in my system. But this is the nature of doing physical inventory.
Unfortunatly you cannot undelete an item that is marked for deletion in the inventory document. I would try to reenter this material as a new item to the same inventory document and then count it as - hoping that SAP will then remove the PIAC status.
But before you should check if the very same item is not included into any other active inventory doc.

  • Physical inventory is already active

    Hi,
    We have successfully posted a count in PID last month, however when we created another PID this month, system prompted the following message "Physical inventory for xxxx xxxx xxxxxxx is already active." When we checked, the status is Counted, adjusted.
    What seems to be the problem?

    I guess you missed some items in this PID, often people forget to set the ZC zero count box if an item was not found.
    SAP cannot differentiate between zero and not counted , hence the ZC box need a tick in this case..
    how did you check for open inventory documents?
    Use MIDO or MI22 or MI24. if that does not help directly use SE16 for table IKPF and search all documents for the storage location you have problems with and check the statuses.
    Easiest is to use MI22 enter the document number and execute. It will immediatly tell you if this document is still active or not.
    if not, then you can be certain that a differnt document is making the problems.

  • Physical Inventory Documents opened in System prior to WM being activated

    Hi SAP experts,
    I am doing some houssekeeping tasks in MM and realised that a number of physical inventory doucments were activated back in 2004 and 2005. In the coming years afterwards WM was activated for the plant and sloc combination to what these open PID's were created for.
    Is there any way of deleting the old PID'S out of SAP?
    Thanks in advance

    is the count open or done?
    if done, then you dont need to delete the document, you can directly archive it.
    if count is open, then you may have to find a silent time to switch off the warehousde assignment for a short time until you are done with the deletion. Of couse, nobody must post any movement in this time.

    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.

  • Physical Inventory Status Flag Not Reset after Year End Inventory Procedure

    Hi,
    We are just done with the Year End Inventory Procedures, and to my surprise, a lot of Storage Bins are having their Physical Inventory status flag as ACTIVE, which they should not have.
    An example bin has incorrect status-u201Ccountedu201D in the associated inventory record number . LINV status is L-cleared. LINK status is Z-counted, LINP status is Z-counted and physical inventory flag is ON in table LAGP, but status must be L-cleared and physical inventory flag should be OFF (or blank) in table LAGP.
    Our users did not use LI20 to clear the empty bins or bins had no difference to post (meaning book qty & count qty are the same).
    I already tried the Program RLREOLPQ and OSS Note 824904, but no its of no use in our Case.
    Any guess/hint for the problem?

    I solved this with thehelp of a Zprogram writeen wrt the OSS note mentioned above in the question.

  • 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
    Message no. L4063"
    Warehouse in SU Managed & has Bin-Sectioning upto 3 -sections.
    Kindly let me know if any more data is required.
    Regards,
    NVK

    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.

    2. HUINV03
    3. HUINV04
    4. HUINV05
    However after physical inventory doc posted and material document generated for difference, system still showing the HU Status as 0020.
    In this regard, please suggest whether we are doing the correct way or what is the method to adjust the HU's and when the system update the status 0031 in HU table.
