Posting in Physical Inventory

Hi Guys,
Since I do not have open system to test this, I am little confused on this. Which accounts will be updated during Physical Inventory post (exp move 701)?
I am confused among the accounts form GBB->INV, PRD->INV and BSX (stock account).
Please share your comments on this and if any other comments on this query.
Thanks and regards,
Raj

Hi Csaba,
Thanks for your reply. I had tried that, since Physical Inventory is not in place, it is difficult to simulate as well.
Please let me know, if have any other comments.
Thanks
Raj

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.

Posting block - Physical inventory

Hello,
Is it possible to do a posting block at storage location level for physical inventory without creating a phy.inv.document? If so, could you guide me?
Thanks
UV

Hello UV,
There are three options for blocking the posting in Sloc.
1. Create inventory document and block the posting in that sloc, once you are done then you can delete that inventory document or complete with count and clear it so you can again use the SLoc.
2. Delete the SLoc for temporary. so it will not allow to post any transaction in that SLoc. When you are ready at that time create SLoc with the same (previous) name.
3. Use authorization profile and restrict any transaction for that storage location.
Hope this helps.

Error in MI07 physical inventory posting

I am getting the error while doing MI07 (Physical inventory posting) the Physical inventory. The error is as follows:
No accts maintained for company code clearing between comp.cds 765 and 350.
Message no. F5730
Diagnosis
A company code clearing transaction requires that you maintain clearing
accounts for each of the company codes involved.
System Response
You must carry out company code clearing for the posting.
You cannot carry out the posting if you have not assigned any
clearing accounts.
Procedure
Maintain the clearing accounts.
This is coming because there are some entries that got copied while copying the plant and the cmpany code but i am unable to trace that. Can anyone help.
I have created the material for the plant defined under the Comoany code 765 but the posting is happening for the 350

Hi,

or is this materiial is companu code to company code sto transffred material? check if there any in transit exits.

Posting during a physical Inventory

We are in the process of a Physical Inventory. We created a physical inventory document and block the material, executed the count for a material but we haven't posted the physical inventory differences and the system is allowing to register good issues from warehouse. Is this correct? How can I block the material until de inventory differences are posted?
Thanks.

Make sure POSTING BLOCK was checked in MI01, not FREEZE BOOK INVENTORY.
Second, when count is entered without difference, system will release the posting block as there is no difference.

Physical Inventory Post difference to a diff Cost Center

HI
I am posting a Physical inventory difference using MI07
Based on the plant i want to post to different Cost Center, is there a way that i can manually provide a cost center in MI07
presently it goes and pulls it from OKB9(default Value), My situation is i have 10 plants For each plant it needs to post to different cost based on the plant
Thanks

OSS note 13423 says:
No account assignment can be entered when posting inventory
discrepancies.
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.

Issue while posting physical inventory document

Hi Team,
While posting a physical inventory document system is giving error message saying that
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.

Reversal of the Physical Inventory Postings

Dear All,
I hv posted the qty difference thru' MI07 in period 02' 09. Now Finance says that this is required to be posted in 01' 09. I tried reversing the PI docs thru MI02 but the system didn't permit me as the difference is already posted and the way out is doing physical inventory again. But due to the cycle count settings, I am not able to carry out the Physical Inv again.
Pls advise asap.
Thnx & Rgds,

Hi
I dont think you can reverse material document (movement type 701.702) posted through physical inventory as it is automatically created and you cannot create new document and post through MI10 because of cycle counting settings. First change the physical counting settings if possible and then proceed for recount & postings (MI10). Otherwise give a try creating new document through MI31 by selecting materials subj to ph.counting and batches subj to ph.counting.
Thanks

Type of Physical Inventory

Dear All,
            how many type of Physical Inventory we can do in SAP.Please explain in detials & also Steps(T-code).
Regards
Pavan

Hi,
Physical Inventory Locate the document in its SAP Library structure
Purpose
This component allows you to carry out a physical inventory of your companys warehouse stocks for balance sheet purposes. Various procedures can be implemented for this.
Scope of Functions
In the SAP system, a physical inventory can be carried out both for a companys own stock and for special stocks. Inventory for a companys stock and for special stocks (such as consignment stock at customer, external consignment stock from vendor, or returnable packaging) must be taken separately (in different physical inventory documents), however.
Note that the blocked stock returns and the stock in transfer cannot be inventoried. If these stocks are still to be counted in a physical inventory, you must transfer post these stocks to other stocks capable of inclusion in a physical inventory.
The stock in a warehouse can be divided into stock types. In the standard system, a physical inventory can be carried out for the following stock types:
·        Unrestricted-use stock in the warehouse
·        Quality inspection stock
·        Blocked stock
Note
If batch status management is active, the first stock type covers both unrestricted-use stock and restricted-use stock.
Inventory of all stock types mentioned can be taken in a single transaction. For the materials to be inventoried, one item is created in the physical inventory document for every stock type.
Physical inventory takes place at storage location level. A separate physical inventory document is created for every storage location.
If a material does not exist in a storage location, this means that no goods movement has ever taken place for the material in the storage location. The material, therefore, has never had any stock in this storage location. The material does not exist at stock management level in the storage location. It is therefore not possible to carry out a physical inventory for the material in this storage location.
This is not to be confused with a material for which a goods movement has taken place and for which the stock balance is currently zero. A physical inventory must be carried out in this case, since storage location data is not deleted when the stock balance is zero.
Physical Inventory Procedures
The SAP System supports the following physical inventory procedures:
·        Periodic inventory
·        Continuous inventory
·        Cycle counting
·        Inventory sampling
Periodic Physical Inventory
In a periodic inventory, all stocks of the company are physically counted on the balance sheet key date. In this case, every material must be counted. During counting, the entire warehouse must be blocked for material movements.
Continuous Physical Inventory
In the continuous physical inventory procedure, stocks are counted continuously during the entire fiscal year. In this case, it is important to ensure that every material is physically counted at least once during the year.
Cycle Counting
Cycle counting is a method of physical inventory where inventory is counted at regular intervals within a fiscal year. These intervals (or cycles) depend on the cycle counting indicator set for the materials.
The Cycle Counting Method of Physical Inventory allows fast-moving items to be counted more frequently than slow-moving items.
Inventory Sampling
In Structure link MM Inventory Sampling, randomly selected stocks of the company are physically counted on the balance sheet key date. If the variances between the result of the count and the book inventory balance are small enough, it is presumed that the book inventory balances for the other stocks are correct.
Updating the Logistics Information System (LIS)
The physical inventory is connected to the Logistics Information System (LIS). When inventory differences are updated in the LIS, they are displayed both on a quantity and on a value basis. The physical inventory items are aggregated at inventory number level, plant level, storage location level, and material level. If you need more detailed information on the inventory differences in the LIS, you can access the list of inventory differences directly from the LIS and continue the analysis at item level.
Restrictions
The posting of physical inventory differences is subject to certain time constraints:
·        The posting period is automatically set during counting. Therefore, the inventory difference must be posted to the same period or - if postings to the previous period are allowed - in the following period.
·        The fiscal year is set by specifying a planned count date when creating a physical inventory document. All subsequent postings to this document must take place in this fiscal year and/or in the first period of the following fiscal year, if postings to the previous period are allowed.

Physical Inventory (MI09) - IDOC

Hi Gurus,
I would like to use IDOC to post inbound physical inventory posting in SAP.
Our conceptual design is to post the stock count without reference (similar to T-code MI09). May I know if any guru can share his / her experience on what should be suitable IDOC message type to be used?
Thanks!
Regards,
Michelle Low

Hello,
The IDOC type to enter physical inventory count is MATERIALPHYSINV_COUNT01. The message type for this is MATERIALPHYSINV_COUNT.
Thanks,
Venu

Serial number behaviour in physical inventory verification

Hi all,
i'll explain my issue with a simple scenario
material code - 5000
Available stock in plant AAA Storage location BB - 3
Serial numbers in the systen - Z1 / Z2 / Z3
once you do a physical inventory verification there is only one unit (physically) and now want to adjust it.
Adjust the system as one unit through creating physical inventory document and the serial number that i phisically exist is A123
what i want to confirm is that when i post the physical inventory document, the existing serial numbers will diisapear or all 4 serial numbers will display in IQ09?
regards
Sasika

Even after you post with Physical Inventory, system will continue to show all serial numbers. But there will be no stock (no plant and no storage location) against the serial number.

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.
Regards,
Christian
