Physical Inventory with Serialized Material Masters

Our meter inventory is serialized under material masters for each meter type. We have separate plants for our gas vs. electric meters, and only one storage location per plant. In one case we have over 15,000 meters under one material master. When performing a physical inventory for material master A we have to enter over 15,000 serial numbers. Has anyone found a good way to enter the count results when you can only enter 18 serial numbers at a time then page down to enter the next set of 18 serial numbers and so on until 15,000 meter serial numbers are entered?
During testing, we also found that if the entered quantity is not a match to the number of validated serial numbers entered in the Maintain Serial Numbers screen, you need to cancel the session, and start over. Is there a way to correct the inventory quantity without loosing all of the serial numbers just entered?

Hi Ken,
Not sure which transaction code you are using. However, the place where you are updating serial number, take a F4; this will open a selection screen (Similar to IQ09 selection screen). On this serial number selection screen, press multiple selection button on serial number - where you will see pop-up for multiple selection for serial number. In this pop-up window, you have one button called "Import from text file". Use this button to upload 15,000 serial numbers and select them.
So, prerequisite is to create one flat file with 15,000 serial numbers.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Avinash

Physical Inventory with serial numbers

Hi friends,
we are trying to post physical inventory with materials having serial numbers.
However during post the system gives 2 errors.
1)
Stock data of serial number 2 not suitable for movement
Message no. IO231
"The current stock information for the serial number 2 contradicts the stock information of the movement to be posted... "
2)
Serial number 2 cannot be used here
Message no. IO201
"You have entered a serial number already present in the system..."
Let me try to explain the situation.
For example we have two storage locations.
A material, say SERIAL, have some stocks in one storage location, say 0001, with serial numbers.
Assume that in the system serial number 2 of the material SERIAL is in the storage location 0001.
However, when physically counted, this serial number 2 shows up in the storage location 0002.
Therefore we would like to enter count for the storage location 0002 to post the serial number 2.
Doing so, we get the errors above.
Is there any solution to that problem? Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Yusuf

Thank you Lakshman,
yes the stock transfer between storage locations or removal first from storage location 0001 with pyhsical inverntory can be done in the system. However I wonder is there any better way to do this, without making any abap development.
I would like to make a count for the storage location 0002 as in our case (or this can be a customer consigment either in another case). Here I expect the serial number 2 will be removed from storage location 0001 and will be placed in sorage location 0002 at the same time. Do you know any way of doing this?
Best regards,
Yusuf

Physical inventory with and without handling unit managment

Hello all,
I would like to know what is the difference between physical inventory with and without handling unit management.
Pl. advise.
Thanks,
Maxx

Assuming you are referring to WM inventory, it is very similar. Inventory is conducted at the SU level in WM if you are HU managed. One of the most widely known issues is the lack of ability to post differences of nested HUs at the WM level. If you are not using nested HUs, the process is the same as storage unit management without handling unit management.

Inventory with Serial Number Material

Hi Experts,
I´ve been trying to create a recount (MI04) for a material with Serial Number.
Currently I have in one Storage Location more than 100,000 pieces of this material.
So when I try to do the counting, all SAP functions get blocked and it doesn´t end the process.
I have a limit of numbers to count?
It seems that the lock table overflows.
Any suggestions how can i manage this counting?

MI04 is enter count, MI11 is create recount.
A physical inventory document can maximum have 333 items.
100,000 pieces of this material can be just one record or 100000 different inventory records. this number does not tell much.
do you want to say that you have 100000 serial numbers for one material to be counted?

Physical inventory block in material master

Hi
In Material Master, Plant/Storage location stock view, there is a field "physical inventory block".
I want ot remove the block to one of the materials.
How to edit the field. In change mode (MM02), the whole view is in diplay mode only.
any suggestions please

prasad

Hi,
It seems there is on PID (Physical inventory document)document active for that material.
To remove block indicater for material Goto transaction MI22 there you can find whcich PID document active for material.
Then take the PID document complete the physical inventory process else you can delete PID document through MI02 transaction.
PID steps:
MI01 create PID document
MI04 Enter inventory Count
MI11 enter recount.
MI07 Post Inventory differencess.
Hope this would help,

MI31: Cannot Create Physical Inventory Document for a Certain Material

Dear SAP MM Friends,
Greetings! I am a budding MM functional analyst in our company. I received a call earlier regarding with transaction code MI31 (Selected Data for Physical Inventory Documents w/o Special Stock). The user cannot generate a physical inventory document for a certain material.
The thing is, we no longer have any stock for this material (MMBE). I tried generating physical document again by ticking "Only Materials with Zero Stock" but to no avail.
May I ask what might be the reasons behind? Your prompt response is highly appreciated.
Thank you very much.
Best Regards,
Albert

Hi,
Please check also the existing physical inventory document for material, probably you still have active physical document from previous period.
1. Go to MI22 --> select your plant, storage location or you can also specify your material number --> execute.
2. Check your Physical Document list, at field Status doc. --> if the status is Doc. active, but it is not in your current period, then it could be the problem.
3. Delete the physical inventory doc that you found in step 2 (use tcode MI02 --> physical doc, year --> choose delete button)
4. Try to create new physical document for the material.
hope this help.

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

- 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

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.
