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.

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 Movement Block not Rest at Storage Location Level

Hi,
We are facing a typical problem in our Production System and the issue is as follows:
1. We have created a Physical Inventory Document for a material with Freeze Book Inventory and Posting Block indicators.
2. We completed the count and entered the same with reference to the PI Document.
3. We reconciled and posted the differences in the system.
4. We still find that in Material Master the Physical Inventory block for material movements was not reset automatically at the Storage Location stock view.
Please help us urgently as all our Goods movements for this material are held up.
Thanks

Hi,
I am able to see 4 PIDs in MI22 for my material.
2 docs pertaining to the latest Annual Physical Inventory in 2010.
These documents are for the same material in the same plant but for different Storage Locations. Out of which when i see the Material Master - Storage Location view, i see that the Physical Inventory Block "X" is set for one of the Storage Locations.
The PID for the Storage Location with this Physical Inventory Block for Movements indicator, is already settled (Count done and no differences in physical and book stock in this storage location).
The problem persists and i need to remove the posting block which was not reset.

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.

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

Error while creating physical inventory document with zero count

Hi,
I am trying to create a physical inventory document for a material that has zero stock and that is not batch managed but I am geting an error as below.
"Item 001: No batches that can be included in phys. inv. exist.(Message no. M7701)"
This error occurs only for one or two materials.
I am able to create the physical inventory document for other materials which is also zero stock and there is no batch managed for the same.
Can anyone pls advice.
Regards,
Ramya

hi
if your material is split valuated, but not batch managed, then the split valuation type is shown in field batch number. And...it is a batch then.
To be able to do a zero count you have to have a batch record whose batch number is the valuation type.
If you never had stock in the storage location you want count, then you have to
1. extend the material to this storage location with MMSC
2. create the batch record with MSC1N for this storage location.

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.

Error While Doing Physical Inventory (Customer Stock)

While doing the Physical Inventory for the Customer Stock, the following error is coming:

Message no. M7093 Diagnosis Comparison of the field selection strings from movement type 701 and G/L account 45500000 has revealed that there is an incompatible field selection combination at one or more points.

System response You cannot post this transaction, unless you have changed the field selection adequately
Pls. help in solving the problem.
Regards,

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.
Wolfgang

Hello Wolfgang,
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!
Edited by: Bryce Larken on Feb 25, 2010 9:25 AM

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.

MB1C and Physical Inventory

Hi experts,
I have try to Post one material using MB1c using 561 movenent type,while saving it gives a message"Delivery 180000014 created". I dont know how this message is coming and the stock also not get updated.
Then by using transaction code MI01 for the material it saying error message"Phys. inventory document cannot be created
Message no. M7450
Diagnosis
A physical inventory document has to be created, but the storage location is subject to handling unit management.
Physical inventory in Inventory Management does not support handling units.
please advice
regards
s

Hi
For MB1C
Try to understand whether a materia document has been created or not.
For this aim check MB51 with relevant parameters (that you have done MB1C such as material number,mov. type:561, posting date etc)
If not then this shows that it hasnt been done i mean no update.
Try MB1c again
For the other issue
You can use all the functions of Inventory Management, with the exception of the following:
u2022 Physical inventory in Inventory Management does not support Handling Unit Management.

MI31 is the transaction to create hundreds of physical inventory documents for annual inventory at a time.
MICN can create several documents at a time for cycle count.
Just look in the menu of phyiscal inventory into the knot Sessions, there are even more e.g. for counting of own stock a customer and vendor location, for vendor stock at own location etc.

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.

Dear all...
in Tcode MI 21 under SYSTEM LIST SAVE LOCAL FILE is dimmed
what is the solution for this issue?
Thank you

Hi Hassan,
System will not allow for saving into a local file. This option is not given as for Physical inventory has to be checked by document printout only.
As this is a audit, local file saving is not allowed

Urgent: regarding physical inventory report display

hi,
i had made a report in which i have to display the physical inventory report details in which details about the material is to be given.
I want to check the details which are present in the tcode MI07 . Can anybody tell me any tcode in which i can see the details of mi07 tcode(including the reason of it).

Greetings,
It might shed some light to read about the display in your portable computer: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LCD
LCDs are primarily plastic panels with various layers inside. Pressure applied to those panels can cause them to crack, leaking the liquid crystal components about. Pressure could be heavy books in a bag pushing against the screen, heavy cat sitting on a closed lid, dog, other animal, someone slamming the lid, child running through the room, etc. This applies to any LCD whether it be in a computer or in a Television (don't press too hard on your TV screen!!).
Displays don't exhibit the type of damage you indicate by themselves. A single pixel might go dead in an LCD but zig zag lines indicates cracking of the layers inside the panels themselves. Something from the outside world made an impact on the display resulting in the damage you see. You may not have been the one pressing hard on it and you may not have seen it happen, but something happened.
The 1 year limited warranty and AppleCare protection plan offer coverage for component failures, not damage.
Coverage for damage would be provided by something along the lines of insurances (home owners, renters, etc.) If you purchased this computer with a Credit Card you may wish to contact your Credit Card company. Many cards have included insurance for purchases you make so even if an item is damage during your use of it, they will cover it.
Best of luck.
