Problem in physical inventory

Hello Experts,
We created 80 physical inventory documents to count almost 4000 materials, but we realized that it is not possible to count all 4000 materials in one day so we decided to count it over the period in 8 phases. So, we deleted the 80 physical inventory documents.
But, still all the 4000 items are blocked for inventory goods transactions though we deleted the physical inventory documents.
Can you please let me know, what can be the reason? It's very urgent. We can't do anything with these materials.
Thanks,

Hi,
You have created 80 physical inventory documents and may be any one ( may be for all) physical inventory document Posting block check box selected during physical inventory creation in MI01 t.code.
Posting block indicates that no goods movements involving the materials listed in the physical inventory document can be posted for the duration of a physical inventory count. The indicator is set for the affected stocks in each case for all associated stock types and is not cancelled until the count results are posted.The blocking indicator can be set in one of two ways:
A.Directly upon entry of the physical inventory document (if the count is going to take place immediately)
B.Shortly before the count (if the count will take place later in quick time)

For warehouse and storage type default values has to be maintained in IMG , Try maintaining default values for physical inventory in IMG under below path :

Problem in Physical inventory cycle count

Hi Guys,
I m facing problem with the transaction MICN, report is RM07ICN1
This report works absolutely fine for "C" type indicators.(time interval is 2 years)
But when we try to run thw report for "B" type indicators(time interval is 1 year), I get incorrect outputs.
I have checked the table , so per day it should output 27 materials to be checked, but I get sometimes more than 1000 materials sometimes 50, sometimes 10 .
I cant resolve this issue .. The diffrence between the two indicators is the time interval.
Please help me out of this .

Problem in MARC Table - when count A, B, C Physical Inventory Indicator

Hi,
We have 75000 material in MARC table of 1 Plant.
But when we saw materials with Physical Inventory CC indicator- ABCIN (A + B + C), there are approx. 63000 material's.
How it's possible??? what is the diff. of 12000 material's...
Note: - There is no D indicator material's in MARC.
Plz help..
Regards..

No, there is no problem. It can be done if you are sure that all entries should contain value D instead of space. But before doing this, you should probably analyse and find out a reason why it happened. Maybe there were an error in migration program (if the materials were migrated). Or probably there is some user-exit implemented for maintaining material master and it contains error. Which plant is for such materials in MARC table if there is no plant view maintained? Should these entries be in MARC table? I do not know. I am not MM consultant, just an ABAP developer. But from technical point of view, there is no risk in such update, there is a risk only from business point of view and I am not the one to judge this risk.

Problem in the Physical Inventory Count

Hi Experts,
We are facing a problem in the Physical Inventory Count as below
1) Suppose for Material XYZ we have done the MI01 on the current date i.e 14.11.2008 with the Planned Count date as 08.11.2008 activating the Freeze Book Inventory check box.
2) Now if there is any movement of material XYZ between 08.11.2008 & 14.11.2008, then while doing MI20 it compares the Physical Count Quantity with the actual book quantity as on 14.11.2008 i.e the current date & not with actual book quantity as on 08.11.2008 which is required by us.
Can you kindly help us in rectifying this issue at the earliest???
Regards,
Samir Bhatt

hi,
In such cases, you use the adjust Book inventory indicator...
SPRO --> MM --> Inventiry management and PI --> Physical inventory > Settings for the PI> Activate the ADj book inv indicator for your plant as per your plant and make the choice btween 2 and 3...
By this the system will auto adjust the book inventory and the count for the goods mov posted.....
Note: This feature is allowed if the posting is done one day after or before...
But in your case, the days are more, so you need to use the recount technique...

Physical Inventory Problem

Hi Gurus
Presently I am doing the physical inventory thru Batches.
the process is : MI31 MI24 MI04 MI20 MI07
My client want physical inv stock in to one batch only. So i can count all batches stock put in to one batch.
if i did like that wht is the impact after posting the inventory.
I mean i recd the stock in diff batches. I posting the stock in to one batch
perticular mm point of you what is the problems.
Regards
Laxman

Hi
What are the characteristics you are using in batch status?
For Ex: If your batch contains SLED as one characteristic then posting all batch stock to one batch will be a big mistake..
Generally batch change is avoided because we are maintaining batch concept for distinguishing the product on ceratain parameters (characterisitcs).
Thanks

Problems with Batch Number in WM Physical Inventory

I am trying to troubleshoot a client that has the following scenario:
1. Material in storage bin doesn't have batch number
2. Batch management has been activated.
3. A physical inventory document was created for the location where the material is.
4. The physical inventory has been counted.
5 When trying to write off differences in LI20 it is giving an error to enter a batch number.
I understand clearly that the system is interpreting that the batch number is required and missing in master data. I am not able to modify batch number for the quant in LS22.
The implications behind deactivating batch number right now would be too complicated and not the right procedure either.
What is the correct procedure in this case?
Thanks!

Hi José, I do not think your point 2 can be right. If a user tries to switch on batch management when there is stock or any open transactional data (POs, Sales orders etc) the SAP throws an error. The only way to activate BM with stock in hand is, as Jurgen has pointed out, through a report or a direct table update that causes inconsistencies.
That said, please have a look at the below document. It details the report provided by SAP to deactivate/activate BM with stock. Please use them with the utmost caution, carefully reading all the disclaimers given by the author, before performing these steps to avoid further inconsistencies.

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.
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

Error While Doing Physical Inventory (Customer Stock)

While doing the Physical Inventory for the Customer Stock, the following error is coming:
Fld selectn for mvmt type 701 / acct 45500000 differs for Profit Center (042)
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. Field for which the field selection is different: Profit Center Example On the movement type screen, a given field is a mandatory-entry field, whereas on the G/L account screen, the same field is suppressed. 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.

Not able to enter the count for physical inventory document in WM

Hi All,
I have created a Physical Inventory document using LX16 t-code (WM managed). Since the material and bin stock is zero and When I try to enter the count by ticking zero stock indicator using LI11 t-code, I am not able to save the document and system throws error "Finding empty Quants provided for" and message number is L4058.
Please let me know how to resolve this.
Regards
Krishnamurthy

Yes your understanding is correct but only thing I have not entered qty in the count field rather I set only zero stock indicator.
My requirement is " In Inventory (MMBE) stock of a material shows around "3000" qty. But In WM stock is "zero" and physically also "zero". so in IM also stock should be reduced to "Zero". So I tried of creating PI document in WM and then when I try to enter the count, I faced the menioned problem.

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

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.
