Physical Inventory Tag Generation Sort Selection

Hello,
Is there anyone that has dealt with Physical Inventory Tag Generation and sorting of the generation to match the Bin Locator sequence.
Currently under 10.7 SC with our Physical Inventory at the end of Oct. Current process is to print Tags in numerical sequence. This means they will not always be in locator sequence as well since additional locators were added after initial data load and they print at the end or in the middle of the file. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

<?for-each:G_HEADER?><?sort:C_LOC_VALUE;'ascending';data-type='text'?>
<?C_LOC_VALUE?>
<?end for-each?>Using the above code
Will get you the result as below
ABB.001....
00.A.01.B..
00.A.01.B..Next one.
<?for-each:G_HEADER?><?sort:C_LOC_VALUE;'ascending';data-type='number'?>
<?C_LOC_VALUE?>
<?end for-each?>will result in
00.A.01.B..
00.A.01.B..
ABB.001....use th following
<?for-each:G_HEADER?>
<?sort: translate(C_LOC_VALUE,'0123456789','abcdefghij');'ascending';data-type=’text’?>
<?C_LOC_VALUE?>
<?end for-each?>you will see th correct result.
00.A.01.B..
00.A.01.B..
ABB.001....
DDD.001....

PLSQL API for Voiding Physical Inventory Tags.

Hello,
We are trying to find a standard Oracle PLSQL API which will allow us to VOID Physical Inventory Tags from backend.
We have a requirement where we want to void specific tags and using the Oracle Std form is proving too cumbersome.

Physical inventory tag count uploading

I need to upload the physcial inventory tag count from 3rd party application to oracle inventroy. I need an interface,API or any other means to do so.
Please, very urgent ..

When I was researching this a year back, I couldnt find an interface or API for uploading counts to a physical inventory. At that time we used Data Loader template to copy the counts into oracle, it worked for us

Select cost center for physical inventory difference posting

Hello,
While posting physical inventory differences (transactions MI07 or MI10) the choice of cost center is not offered. A default cost center is used by the system.
Is there a way to choose the cost center for inventory difference postings? This is useful considering we have several inventories managed by several business units with different cost centers.
Kind regards,
Sergei Volkov

this is from OSS note 13423:
Symptom
Key word: Inv acct assign
No account assignment can be entered when posting inventory
discrepancies.
Additional key words
MI07
Cause and prerequisites
This function is not implemented.
Solution
In Customizing an account assignment can be made for every inventory
adjustment account. To do this the inventory adjustment account must
first be defined as a cost element (Transaction KA01 / KA06):
Accounting -> Controlling -> Cost centers -> Master data -> Cost element
-> Create primary / secondary. Then an account assignment can be made
for the cost element (Transaction OKB9):
Tools -> Customizing -> Setup menu -> Accounting -> Controlling -> Cost
centers -> Actual postings -> Automatic account assignment.
If this account assignment is implemented every posting to the
particular inventory adjustment account will automatically receive the
appropriate account assignment.

Multiple physical inventory document active for same material-storage locat

hi experts,
I am using transaction code MI31 for creating physical inventory document for all materials at a particular warehouse(storage location). User is selecting direct generation of of PI documents in the transaction. If by mistake he presses execute button more than once system is creating as many copies of physical inventory documents. As per ERP system logic it sound very wrong to have multiple physical inventory document active for same material-storage location ( no batches or special stocks exist ).
Is there a message number or some standard setting to prevent such occurrence.
regards
Avinash

Hi,
Syetem won't create again physical inventory document, if allready PI is active for the same part number, plant, storage location & batch/valuation type.
Check your PI documnets

Need help in creating a Physical Inventory Document with HUs given

Hi Gurus,
There is a problem I am facing while doing a ALV report.
I have created the report and there is a button which i have fixed which has to create Physical Inventory Document.
The scenario is:
I will select the records in the report based on the Vessel Bill Of Lading (VBOL) (related to Batch characteristics of a material) and then i need to pass those values to create Physical Inventory Document.
I got a functional module HUINV_DOCUMENT_CREATE which will create the document but I am not clear what are the values that I need to pass in this.
Or do anyone know how to create the Document by passing HU (Handling Units) and Plant & Storage Location?
Please help me in the same.
Thanks and Regards
Vipin Das V

Hi ,
Just Pass the table of Handling Unit .That's all.

Physical Inventory at Storage location level

hi.,
Environment ECC 6.0
Our suggestion on Physical inventory at the client site was as per SAP
"If the flag for posting block is set then no movements can be posted for that material. Note that the inventory document should be created at a material / plant / storage location level so as to not block that material at other storage locations. If a block is not required then do not flag the Set posting block indicator. It is always prudent to restrict the amount of materials being counted and to clear the count results quickly so business is not interrupted"
CLIENT feedback: " Like wise we asked the client to make the selection by Plant = 1000, SLoc = 100, and WBS =2312-344-332 and checked Posting Blocked.
My understanding was that this selection would block only the 1000/100/WBS location.
Client is having a problem is that people trying to transact in a SLoc other than 100 (200, 300, 400) are experiencing the Blocked warning.
I know I heard that we can inventory a Storage location in SAP and lock it and the rest of the sites could continue without interruption.
Any suggestions on how we can achieve this.
Tx

Hi,
Are you setting teh posting block at the time of creation of physical inventory document or by running MI32 later?
If you are running MI32, then ensure that you enter teh storage locations correctly, else the material irrespective of storage locatioons may get blocked.
Hope this helps

Cycle count and inventory document generation

hi.
Currrent Scenario : Cycle count has been configured for Quarterly cycle count for 20 materials.
Float period has been set for 5 days.
Procedure : Customer wants to do inventroy count for the 20 materials at the rate of one material per day.
Question : 20 Materials falling under "C" quarterly cycle count show up for Physical inventory.
Can the customer create an inventory document for <b>inventory count each day for each material</b> or will they have to create 20 inventory documents for count at one go since the float period is set for 5days.
Will the float period indicated play a part if the physical inventory is planned for each material on separate days.
Or if an physical inventory has been planned for the quarterly managed material, all material in that category say "C" would anyway show up during the quarterly inventory cycle count period.And the inventory count can be done for each material on seperate days.
Thanks

hi Arif.,
Earlier situation : Cycle count procedure was only A.
Present situation : Cycle count procedure is now ABCD .
But only C.c indicator A is still active for all material. We have not
changed the Cc indicators for any material.
Transported to production on Friday.
My question is :
On monday ,when the batch program was executed for printing of inventory
documents, Why does it generate a whole lot inventory documents for
Materials which have not been inventored even when the C.c indicators
remain A for all the Materials.We have not even in-corporated the
Quarterly cycle count indicators for the few selected materials.
Should the system:
1. Print Inventory documents only for the current period or
2. Is the system behaving properly due to the change in Cycle count?
Only the Cycle count procedure has been changed to 4 times in a fiscal year.
Do review the information and update me.

Error While Doing Physical Inventory (Customer Stock)

Pls. help in solving the problem.

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.

How to populate list of materials in IM level Physical Inventory document?

Hi,
Suppose we have maintained 1000 materials in storage location ABCD. Now when I undertake physical inventory process at IM level, I have to create physical inventory document for this storage location ABCD and I will have to input all these 1000 materials manually for count process in the document.
Is there any other way whereby if I select the storage location, all the materials which are maintained in this location will get automatically populated in the physical inventory document.
Thanks in advance,
Sanjog

Hello,
SAP provides standard transaction MI31 to create Physical inventory documents. In the selection screen, you may enter your storage location to include all materials of that location.
Thanks,

Physical inventory document - for all A parts

Hi,
We are in the process of preparing our system for physical inventory count for all A parts (Cycle count indicator is A).
1. We ran MI24 to get all open physical inventory documents.(they are around 100).
2.Then we ran MI31 (didn't create batch input) for all A parts and the following are checked - 1. Material marked for deletion 2. only materials w/o zero stock 3. Unrestrcited use 4. Blocked 4. Include inventoried materials 5. Included inventoried batches. The variant for MI31 includes all A parts in the material selection and the required plant and SL are input. The output said, phy inventory documents could be created for 656 materials.
3. I wrote a query with MARC and MARD to get all A parts with unrestricted quantity > 0 for the above specified plant and SL. The list produced 882.
The above two counts are not matching.
I ran MI31 for some of the materials which are in the list materials as per point 3 but not in the above 2. But MI31 said, no physical inventory document can be created.
We want to make sure both the both numbers are equal (step 1 + 2 = step 3), to make sure all A parts will be counted. Can anyone explain why they are not matching? or Am I missing something?
OR any other ways to make sure all A parts will be counted. Thanks,
Regards,
Sundar.

Please refer my comment. It may be useful for you.
There are two ways if you want to carry out Physical Inventory count
1)Manual -
First check if there are no open PI document for a material using MI31.
Then carry out three transactions one after another MI01, MI04, MI07
2) Automatic
Maintain CC physical inv. indicator in material master i.e A, B, C
Before that ensure that you have maintained SPRO setting for A, B and C.
Ok Now check the planned count date in MARC table. Run a Z program to change the last count date
Now run MICN and schedule a job to create PI documents

Different sequence between original physical inventory doc & the one on RF

Hi,
We've implemented warehouse management with RF, the problem is,
1) I created one physical inventory docuemtn via tcode LX26,
    there're 3 lines in the physical inventory docuement, and the
sequence is:
    item 10, material A
     item 20 material B
    item 30, material C
2) But when I perform stocktaking count via tcode LM50, the system show me the physical inventory doc with the following
sequence:
    item 20, material B
    item 10 material A
    item 30, material C
The problem is, I didn't set any sort profile for the inventory counting, and there's no place for me to do such kind of settings,
so what's the reason?
Kindly please advise.
Regards

This recount procedure is of no use for you, or did you really have no movement during the last 2 periods?
Just delete the document and create a new document and count again. Take it as a learning session, you will never forget to post the difference again.

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
