Physical Inventory Print issue

Hi All,
We are using standard LI04 transaction for printing physical inventory document (Bin level count for WM). This transaction uses the standards reports: RLLI0400 and RLLI0405 for printing the documents.
Now, we are upgrading from 4.7 to ERP 6.0 system.
We see that the output of this report is inconsistent. We see following 2 issues.
1. Sometimes main count and recount is printed together.
2. Sometimes Recount 01 appears twice.
Can you help me?
Kind Regards,
Prakash

Hi
if your upgraded from 4.7 to 6.0 then you need to check the all the patchs are moved or not if all are move then you need to prit settings in spro
or check out with ABAP. technical setting in the system.

If you have any solution then kindly mentioned it.
Looking forward for kind help.

Check out with your SD guy if the items in billing doc have correct pricing conditions triggered.
From the description it looks like some customizing issue.
Otherwise revert back with the logic how are you trying to get the net value of item.

Material blocked due to a physical inventory - VL02N - Post Goods Issue

Hi,
We are working with SAP R/3 4.6C IDES.
During a business process we need to run VL02N and to click the Post Goods Issue button.
When we do that, we are getting the following error:
"Material P-103 1000 0001 blocked due to a physical inventory"
Anyone knows that I need to do in order to make it work?!
Also, anyone knows how can I add more quantity to a given part?
Thank you!
Yaniv

Hi Yaniv!
Any stock changes are forbidden during physical inventory (otherwise you wouldn't know, if your counting has amount of before or after the change).
Close the counting (-> ask who has done this), then goods issue is possible.
Quantity change: go to picking tab and enter 'real' -> changed quantity.

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.

Printing Physical Inventory

Dear All
I am trying to print Physical Inventory Document via MI21.The document is showing correctly all the fields except the counted quantity field.The printout is not populating the quantity even after I do MI i.e. Physical Inventory Count.
Can anybody suggest any changes required in IMG for getting the field populated?
Regards
Vaibhav Mahajan

It is by design that the book quantity is not show on a document, because it misleads the counters to "count" what is shown on the paper instead of the quantity in the warehouse, especially if the quantity does not match.
Further people tend to start investigating root causes and doing phyiscal corrections while counting, instead on focussing on the ocunt itself.

Physical Inventory SAPscript form printing.

Hi Friends,
we have developed a SApscript form and print program for physical inventory documnet . and we r using z transaction code to run this..
now the requiremnt is . the same form and print program need to be called when they run the transactions MI03, or MI01 or MI02.
it seems to be there are no Output types related to physical inventory.
Could any one of you guide me how to do assign this custom form and program to these transactions.
Its bit urgent.
thanks in advance.

Dear all,
I think I've got the answer (even though it is 3 years after question was posted).
Let me re-cap the problem:
1) A set of SAPscript form and print program (beginning with 'Z') for physical inventory document are developed
2) This set of SAPscript form and print program produce similar printout as that in T-code: MI03, or MI01 or MI02
3) The SAPscript form is copied from "INVENT" or "INVENT_VKBW" and the print program is copied from "RM07IDRU" or "RWWVINVB"
4) However, there is no output types available for configuration for user to print physical inventory document using this new set of SAPscript form and print program
Am I correct ?
The re-solution is: Maintain the output types entries (program, form) in table "T159N"
1) T-code: MI01 , MI02, MI04 will call T-code: MI21 when user selects to print physical inventory document
2) T-code: MI21 will call print program "RM07IDRU" (this is maintained in T-code SE93)
3) Program RM07IDRU" will call SAPscript "INVENT" or "INVENT_VKBW" (this is maintained in table "T159N")
Hence, if you develop new sets of SAPscript form and print program (by copying from "INVENT" or "INVENT_VKBW" / "RM07IDRU" or "RWWVINVB"), try table "T159N".

HU exists at another point in the warehouse. Clear the HU first
Message no. /SCWM/GM751
here is my scenario: As per the system bin is empty, while doing physical inventory we found and counted one HU in the same bin. while posting the same physical inventory document we are getting the above error message. as per the system this HU available in some other bin.
could you please let us know is there any process which i am missing before posting the PI document.
while posting the PI document is it not possible automatically HU get move from one bin to other bin?
Thanks
Mastan

Hi kmastanrao
All above suggestion given need to check.
1. Check HU available in WH. In EWM monitor and HU details.
And after finding the status of HU and use as you need in your process.
second if needed I can provide HU table in EWM which can be used.

Physical inventory issue

Hi,
We have defined split Valuation category in Material Master, with two Valuation type.
Now when I'm creating a physical inventroy document, its giving me an error - Batch for plant, st loc, material does not exist.
Please let me know, what extactly I need to do.
Regards,
Aditya

dear,
kindly go into transacation "mmsc"
here first you define for your plant which stoarge location you are performing the activity.
check there whether any "1" indicator is not assigneed ...because this will not allow you to perform physical inventory or this stock wont be considered....remove this "1" indicator
then go into transaction "msc1n" and put your material no and plant and storage location...
this will get solved...we have done this many times...

EWM: Annual Physical Inventory Issue

Hello together!
I'm looking for cute (use SAP default) solution for the following problem:
For a EWM warehouse in Turkey it's possible to do Ad-hoc physical inventory for products during the year. Nevertheless it's necessary to do a complete annual physical inventory due to legal regulations. But the SAP default provides message "Storage bin XY was already inventoried in the physical inventory year" when trying to start the annual physical inventory.
Is it possible to avoid this message and proceed the annual physical inventory? Is it possible to delete the Ad-hoc physical inventory results to be able to start the annual physical inventory? I found transaction "/SCWM/PI_COMPL_DEL" to delete completeness data sets?!?
Thank you very much for your help!
best regards
Alexander

Hi Alexander!
When you create PI document in /SCWM/PI_DOC_CREATE set the checkbox "Include Inventoried Objects"

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

WIP Inventory at time of physical inventory

Discrete Manufacturer in 11.5.9. Looking for alternatives for handling WIP at the time of annual physical inventory. Have approximately 1800 released jobs of which more than 75% are pure "push" type jobs and the standard wip valuation report will fit the requirements. However for the remainder of the jobs there is a mix between operation pull and assembly pull which are in various stages of completion. On top of that we have many phantom assemblies that could be in-process on these jobs. How do you account for items that are out of the storage containers, built up on the line but not yet on the job? Thanks in advance.

We had the same issue a few years ago. We created a separate process to handle work in process inventory, exactly as you described. We created a report to print tags, then we created a separate form to allow entry of the tags. We then can compare counts to what is in work in process. We manually adjust the work orders as needed. Not a perfect process, but it works. I don't believe there is anything in Oracle to handle inventory that is still in WIP.
Hope this helps.

Approval of physical Inventory doc

Dear Exxperts,
Can we set release strategy for physical inventory docs. Client is asking for approval of inventory count doc before posting of diiferene.
Can you please expedite , how to handle the issue??
REgards,
Santosh

Hi,
Sorry I have not heard on this .Generally the PI document is printed out and the count is recorded manually against each item.On this hard copy the Store Incharge as well as the verifying team put their signature in support of the authencity of the figures counted.based on this the count is entered in the system.Also after getting the difference list this is again placed before a team to record the reason of difference and the approval on the difference is obtained manually from the competent authority before posting the difference.
This is the traditional process.
However all this steps if configured in a Workflow the manual approval can be eliminated.Hence please talk with a Workflow consultant.
