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 count process

Hi,
We have new created new company code and plant in last fiscal year 2009, for that Plant I wan to do the physical inventory process, can you give all the customization as well as other process which is required for this.
regards,
zafar

Hi Zafar,
here is the flow of steps.
1.u go to MI01and "create" a doc.
2. just take the print of that doc.
3.do the Phsical inventory verification i.e counting.
4.goto MI04, MI05 or Mi06 and displa the count.
5.post the difference in MI07(with reason) with mvmt type.
this mvmt typ is a 3 digit no. having a reason for the difference in the 2 values.
Hope this wll help u.

Physical Inventory Count with Batches / Inventory Tracking+Posting

Hi,
There does not seem to be any way to record a Physical Inventory count with Batch managed items.
Scenario-1: In case 1.8 kg of batch number 222 is counted during Physical Count. B1 has Batch number 111 with quantity 2.5kg. B1 assumes that a lesser quantity of existing batch 111 was counted and the batch SELECTION screen appears.
Scenario-2: Similarly, if 3 kg of batch number 222 is counted during Physical Count and Batch number 111 exists on Business One with quantity 2.5kg, then B1 assumes that a new batch was found and the batch CREATION screen appears.
Scenario-3: If 2.5 kg of batch number 222 is counted during Physical Count - with Batch number 111 on Business One with quantity 2.5kg, then B1 assumes a zero "difference" in posting window. Wrong batch removal and new batch addition cannot be done - the batch selection/creation screen does not pop up with CTRL+TAB.
A Physical inventory count sheet with hundreds of rows with all 3 above scenarios in the rows is normally supposed to be entered into any system.
An easy way to do this should exist on SAP B1 but does not appear to exist right now.
Thanks,

Message# 551219/2009
Dear Ajay Audich,
Thanks for your message and screenshots. In current version of SAP Business One, the Inventory Posting functionality does not offer input at the batch level. The system behaves in the following way:
If the Difference number is positive, you will see a Define Bathes
window where you can assign the item quantity to the relevant batches.
If the Difference number is negative, you will see a Batch Number
Selection widow where you can issue item from the relevant batch.
So it isnot possible to enter the count for batch managed items per batch. The possible workaround is after Inventory Posting, use Goods Issue and Receipt to manually adjust the Batch quantity.
Please kindly have a try. If the feature is important for customer
business process, please kindly refer to attached Note 1028874 for
further action.
Sorry for any inconvenience, we appreciate your understanding.
Kind regards,
Canna Mu

Physical Inventory Count...

Hello Gurus.
We are trying to perform our first Physical Inventory. Our procedures our Installer provided, does not seem complete..... We start by entering LX16, and selecting what storage type and range of bins we want to perform the search on. We then activate after selection. Then next step is to goto LI11N to enter the counts, but when does the Inventory Document print? How can i enter counts If i have no document to go off of?? Are these procedures wrong? If anybody has any insight, please advise on the proper steps/transactions. Thx Zach

well the process given is accurate
the moment u create pi document in system by entering the stock typa and the bin no.
and once u post that then system should genrate the document print out autmatically as pr ur message dtermination strategy
once again i will say the process is correct

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

Multiple physical inventory counts for same storage loc

We have a plant where the same SAP storage location is used for multiple physical locations (e.g. individual build stations). We would like to be able to count by physical area rather than by part number per se. So the goal would be to enter multiple counts against the same part and post differences only when all counts are done, as defined by the aggregate of the individual counts.
Is this possible? I tested it using MI31 to create phys inventory doc, then Mi04 for count 1 and MI09 for count 2, but received a message M7700 "Physical inventory for XX is already active"
Any ideas would be appreciated.

How do you know in your SAP in which area the material is?
can you know this from MMBE or MB52?
if not, then I do not see any chance for MI31, except you just create one inventory doc for the entire location and make copies of the document for each area you have. after counting you have to consolidate each copy into one and post then the count in MI04.

Need some expert opinion

Process of Inventory count blocks one other plant

hi.,
If i understand correct, you can create PI documents at Plant(1) /Storage location ( S.Loc Say A) .level.
Until the Physical Inventory Count documents are posted, SAP will not allow any kind of movement of that material say X at that Plant(1) /Storage location level (S.loc A).
For the same Plant (1) ,if there are more than one storage location say B,C or D, the Physical Inventory count process would not affect the movement ,GR, GI of Material X in S.loc B, C or D. (Right ?)
Situation (1) :What is happening is, when PI documents are created for Plant (1), S.Loc (A) , Material (X) and the count is in process, the system is not allowing the GI, GR , movement of Material (X) containted in Storage location B, C or D. Message is Material is blocked by User (who has generated the PI document.)
Situation(2): Material (X) in different Plant (2) under the same company code are also denied any movement while the Count is in process in Plant (1).
I was wondering if anyone has come across this kind of scenario and the solution for the same.
All assistance is much appreciated.
Thanks

Hi Mahesh,
For your situation 1 question- the error message is due to the material is also processing by other person, not necessarily the person who created the PI doc, by the time your trying to use the Material (X) somebody is using also.
(Blocking of Movements like GR/GI is set separetely, if you try to use this material like GR, error message will promt like Material is blocked due to PI)
For situation 2- most likely you are able to do blocking of this material for posting when you created the PI docs. So, it also not allowed you to do GR or any kind of posting.
Hope this clear your doubt.
Regards,
Maia
