Quantity Falls Below Minimum Inventory Level

Hi!, I have an item that we manage  by warehouse, we've set the minimum inventory level to 5000 pieces.
So the MRP has procured me 5000 pieces through a purchase order. I received my item through Goods Receipt PO and now that I want to transfer it to another warehouse I get a message "Quantity Falls Below Minimum Inventory Level".
I though the purpuse of the minimun inventory level was to procure more, not to lock transactions on the item. Is there a setting that I can tweek so I can use my 5000 pieces?
Thank you.

Hi,
That message is a warning only.  If you have enough authorization, you could still get all necessary transactions done without problem.  The message is not avoidable.
Thanks,
Gordon

  • Error Message in Delivery : Quantity falls below minimum inventory level

    Version : SBO 2005 A SP01 PL22
    Description of Issue:  When trying to Add a Delivery you get Error Message: Quantity falls below minimum inventory level [Delivery - Rows - Warehouse Code] [line: 0]  [Message 131-14].  You are then unable to Post the Delivery and Print the corresponding Packing List.
    Testing Findings:  Upon detailed testing of this issue and work with SAP Support it has been determined that the issue is that the Delivery Row Ordered Qty is looking at the OITM In Stock Qty when determining if the full Row Qty can ship instead of the OITW In Stock Qty.  This is an issue because due to other "bugs" this Client has encountered their OITW Qtys in other Whses are negative, even though they have the Block Negative Inventory and the Manage Inventory by Warehouse Flags Checked On.  This then reduces the OITM Qty below the level of the Delivery Row and you get the above error message. 
    Example:  A Sales Order Row has an Order Qty of 15 for Whse 01 for a particular Item.  The OITW In Stock Qty for Whse 01 = 17.  The OITW In Stock Qty for Whse 03 = -7.  The Block Negative Inventory and Manage Inventory by Whse Flags are both Checked On.  The 'Net' OITM In Stock = 10.  When you try to Copy the Sales Order to a Delivery and Add the Delivery, you get the above Error Message and it will not allow you to Post the Delivery and Print the Packing List.
    Current Workaround:  Client is performing Inventory Goods Receipts to bring the In Stock Qtys in the affected Whses to greater than or equal to zero.
    Proposed Solution:  SAP Development to add logic to SAP Business One to validate the Delivery Row Qtys to Ship against the OITW In Stock Qtys instead of OITM when the Manage Inventory by Whse Flag is checked on. 
    Supporting Documentation: This DRQ Request relates to Support Message # 864405 2007.  All above referenced testing details including example SO#'s, Item #'s, etc. and an entire copy of the Client's database are available and linked to this Message #.

  • "Quantity falls into negative inventory" Error when importing Goods Receipt through DTW

    Hi,
    We extending the automation between our production plant an SAP Business one.
    We're using DTW import "Goods Receipt PO" currently and want to extend this to internal productions based on Production Orders.
    I've created three csv files to create the import. OIGN, IGN1 an SNRT (as we use serial number based products)
    Some remarks:
    - The stock is sufficient to do the production. No negative stock is created by this the production order.
    - The used materials are all based on "backflush", so should be handled automatically
    - Using the SAP GUI everything goes well. No errors.
    hereby the files I've used (the actual serial number file is of course longer):
    OIGN:
    DocNum;DocType;HandWritten;DocDate;PartialSupply
    DocNum;DocType;Handwrtten;DocDate;PartSupply

    What am I doing wrong? Do we need the handle the goods issue manually when using DTW instead of the auto backflush method in SAP?
    Looking forward to your response.

  • Required inventory level in Item Master

    Hi,
                        In the item master data in Inventory tab we have minimum inventory,maximum inventory and also required level.What is the function of that field.Because it is not filled automatically even after the stock level goes below minimum inventory level.Can somebody explain?
                                                                                    Regards,
                                                                                    Sekar

    Hi Sekar,
    The required inventory level in Item Master with the following function:
    In the Required (Purchase UoM) field, the system displays the quantity to keep the stock at the minimum level.
    If you select Release Stock Below Minimum Level in the Document Settings, the system issues alerts when the quantity goes below the minimum. The system does not let you enter stock documents when the stock reaches its maximum quantity.
    Thanks,

  • Access Right for Minimum stock level

    Hi all,
    I would like to know if there is a way to set access right to enalbe or disable user from modify the minimum stock level in the item master data.
    Thank you.
    Regards

    I would like to know if there is a way to set access right to enalbe or disable user from modify the minimum stock level in the item master data.
    as I have said, you can use SP_TN to disable some certain users to modify the minimum inventory level value. here is an example:
    IF @transaction_type IN ('A', 'U') AND
    @Object_type = '4'
    begin
    if exists (SELECT distinct t0.docentry FROM oitm T0 INNER JOIN oUSR T1 ON T1.internal_k
    = t0.usersign
    WHERE isnull(t0.minlevel,'') <> '0' and t1.user_code = 'manager')
    begin
    select @Error = 10, @error_message = 'Min level can not be updated by user manager'
    end
    end
    but I also said that you can use SDK code i.e. SAP B1 addon to disable the users to modify the minimum inventory level field. It is more complicated because you need to use programming language e.g. VB.Net to do that. The programming language will use the B1 DI API as project reference.
    You must have SDK development license to develop such addon.

    Hi Patel,
    You can create a confirmations using CO11N for sub-operations, but you can only confirm hours, not yield quantity. The yield quantity requried to be confirmed in the operation. You can partially or fully confirm sub-operations.
    Enter the order number, sub -operation number all the related data will be displayed execpt greyed quantity fields.
    Can you see the "sub-operation" entry field below "oper./activity" in CO11N ?

    Hi,
    I'm not sure what you mean when you are speaking about inventory levels and available quantity.
    I mean that you may have stock of 100 pcs of a certain material but from an open PrdOrd can come a reservation for this component (e.g. 20 pcs) that reduces this the available quantity (to 80 pcs).
    If you want only the stock levels, you don't have to write any ABAP code, since MB52 report is designed for this purpose.
    If you want to know the available stock (considering requirements (PIR, DepReq, SO), and stock-like MRP elements (PldOrd, PurReq, PrdOrd, PO, etc)) you should check report MD04 and examine how it works, which tables it uses (ST01).

  • Minimum order level

    Hi,
    The stock level of all materials in stores are checked everyday.If the stock level falls below the minimum level, a direct purchase order should be  placed for procurement of the material. The order quantity is should be to fill the storage to the maximum level. What master settings i have to make for this automatic PO generation for materials if stock level is less than minimum level?
    regards
    B Shar

    hi
    First of all you need to maintain
    Required Stock Level
    Minimum Stock Level
    Maximum Stock Level
    In the Material Master data
    You can use "Reorder point planning"
    In reorder point planning, procurement is triggered when the sum of plant stock and firmed receipts falls below the reorder point.
    The reorder point should cover the average material requirements expected during the replenishment lead time.
    The safety stock exists to cover both excess material consumption within the replenishment lead time and any additional requirements that may occur due to delivery delays. Therefore, the safety stock is included in the reorder level.
    The following values are important for defining the reorder point:
    Safety stock
    Average consumption
    Replenishment lead time
    The following values are important for defining the safety stock:
    Past consumption values (historical data) or future requirements
    Vendor/production delivery timelines
    Service level to be achieved
    Forecast error, that is, the deviation from the expected requirements
    Manual Reorder Point Planning
    In manual reorder point planning, you define both the reorder level and the safety stock level manually in the appropriate material master.
    Automatic Reorder Point Planning
    In automatic reorder point planning, both the reorder level and the safety stock level are determined by the integrated forecasting program.
    The system uses past consumption data (historical data) to forecast future requirements. The system then uses these forecast values to calculate the reorder level and the safety stock level, taking the service level, which is specified by the MRP controller, and the material's replenishment lead time into account, and transfers them to the material master.
    Since the forecast is carried out at regular intervals, the reorder level and the safety stock level are continually adapted to the current consumption and delivery situation. This means that a contribution is made towards keeping stock levels low.

  • Requirements transfer to follow up materail, if the stock falls below

    Hi All
    The issue is related to the requirements transferring the follow up material,
    when the inventory falls below the safety stock,
    the requirements has to generated for the follow up material,  in which is maintained in MRP 4
    =================
    Here in our case,
    when the Inventory stock falls below the SAFETY STOCK,
    the requirement are getting generated for the same material, but not for the follow up material( which is maintained in MRP4)
    ========================
    What is the way out for transferring the requirements to follow up material (which is maintained in MRP4), in case of stock falls below the safety stock  ?
    Thanks  & Regards
    BRSR

    requirement was already clear when you explianed in the first attempt.
    i was trying to verify from you did you done anything on that or read any material for follow on mateial.
    so follow on mateial has 2 stategies  (please check in SAP help file as i didnt worked on this from long time)
    1. to use the all existing stock of old and pass the requirement to other
    2. on the perticular date ignore any requirement for old material and pass all requirement to new mateial.
    there is not way to achive your expected results.
    and i am not finding any business requirement that way....what is point of thinking "safety stock" when the material is going to replace by other material.
    Please think on this.

  • Minimum stock level per warehouse and MRP

    Hello experts
    We have tested minimum stock level per warehouse and try to use it for the MRP but it seems that the MRP uses for a specific warehouse the consolidated minimum level
    For example
    WSE 1 minimum stock level 10
    WSE 2 minimum stock level 5
    MRP runs for WSE 2 recommandation is calculated based on 15 pieces of minimum stock level (WSE 1+2)
    Could you please tell me if this is normal behavior and the use of minimum stock level per warehouse is not possible ?

    Hi.....
    SAP gives recomendation on Overall stock basis and not on Minimum Inventory of Particular Warehouse.
    It is standard behavior. But SAP should think of it as it is not right recomendation if someone tries to view it as per warehouse.......

    There is a system built-in alert "Mininum Stock Deviation", which can meet your requirement. So you don't need to create an new query for this purpose.
    Please find it from Administration->Alerts Management, tick 'Active' and choose the user you want to send Alert to.

  • Inventory level

    hi all
    i would like to know about what is inventory level and how is it calculated and also i want to know the value of left over stock in the plant
    thanks ll

    Dear krishna
    Following are inventory calculation methods
    1)  Moving Average
    SAP Business One valuates your inventories with the moving average price on an ongoing basis. This means a valuation takes place based on the corresponding quantities and prices for each goods receipt and issue, and the moving average price is updated accordingly.
    The valuation price is calculated as the quantity multiplied by the average price. Assuming prices will increase over time, the items in stock will be overvalued. This gain is not as high as under the FIFO method, but greater than under the LIFO method.
    2)  FIFO
    Under this valuation method, the system assumes that the items that entered the warehouse first will also exit first. This means goods issues are valuated with the prices that are valid for the first goods receipts. For example, if you purchase an item at three different prices on three different occasions, the system assumes that the first items you sell are from the first delivery. This means the prices from the first purchase order are used for the sale and calculation of the corresponding gross profit, until the quantity from the first purchase document is gone. At this point, the system uses the price for the items from the second purchase order.
    Assuming prices will increase over time, the items in stock will be valuated using the higher prices from the later purchase documents.
    3)  LIFO
    Under this valuation method, the system assumes that the items that were received last will exit the warehouse first. If you purchase an item at three different prices on three different occasions, the items that were purchased last will be sold first.
    Assuming prices will increase over time for the three purchase documents, the quantity in stock will be valuated with the lower prices from the first purchase document. Therefore, the value of the inventory will be lower than under the FIFO method.
    4)  By Price List
    You can use one of the price lists defined in the system to valuate the warehouse inventories. When you choose this method, the system displays an additional field that contains a list of the price lists defined in the system. Click the dropdown icon on the right of the field and choose the entry you require from the list provided.
    The system then uses the prices defined for the items in the price list.
    5)  Last Evaluated Price
    You can also perform the valuation based on the last evaluated prices. In this case, the system uses the last calculated costs for each item. If you run a valuation under the FIFO method, for example, and then run a valuation for the last calculated costs, the system will valuate the items using the last value that was determined for an item under the FIFO method.
    To see the stock details, you can run MMBE / MB5B
    thanks
