Regarding inventory management

Hi,
I have documnet How To Handle Inventory Management Scenarios in BW
Version 1.3 January 2005.
But it gives the details about 3.5 version. If i want to implemnet in 7.0 what all i need?
also i w2as trying to find the 'No marker update' option and all in 7.0 but coudnt find the same. Is thr so much difference in implementing INVENTORY in 7.0
*Please help.

Hi Jino,
Briefly,
a) Single Step transfer: -
this comes in STO, while transfer material between plants.
if you tick the indicator as one step in config,
Generally, when you do the PGI for material from supply plant to receiving plant, goods issue document will generate in Issuing plant.
Similarly goods receipt (GR)document generate in receiving plant.
in One step procedure, GR will create automatically in background after you do PGI.
where as in Two Step Plant Transfer. AFter PGI, you have to create GR-MIGO also.
Hope it clears. Try and let me know

Inventory Management (Advanced - Marker update)

I have been following your discussion regarding Inventory Management and the use of 2LIS_03_BX and 2LIS_03_BF extractors, and I have also been studying the How to guide on Inventory Management.
I am currently only using 2LIS_03_BF with no data restriction in the setup-run or in the initialization. The stock balance is correctly even though I am not using 2LIS_03_BX (because the sum of all historical movements equals the current balance).
But I am facing performance problems because I am not using compression. I am considering 2 solutions:
Solution A (the easy)
1. Compression on all request (with marker update)
Solution B (as suggested in the How-to-guide)
1. Delete InfoCube data
2. Generate new balance with 2LIS_03_BX
3. Compression of 2LIS_03_BX (with marker update)
4. Reconstruct old 2LIS_03_BF requests from PSA
5. Compression of old 2LIS_03_BF requests (No maker update - because all these will new be considered historical in relation with the newly generated stock balance).
6. Future deltaloads from 2LIS_03_BF and compression (with marker update).
As I see both solutions will solve the problem but A is by far the easiest. I would like your opinion!
When you do the marker update during compression does it matter wether you do it as described in the how-to-guide I can you do it as follows instead:
1. Compression of Historical Movements (2LIS_03_BF) (with marker update)
2. Compression of Stock balance (2LIS_03_BX) (No marker update)
3. Compression of Future Movements (2LIS_03_BF) (with marker update)
As I see the only important thing is that you do the marker update with eitherHistorical Movements (2LIS_03_BF) or Stock balance (2LIS_03_BX), but not both of them or none of them. I am not 100% sure but please give me your opinion.

Hello Thomas,
I have never tried doing the marker update other way around (through BF instead of BX), but I don't see any reason why it will not work. You are right that marker update should be done either with snapshot or material movement as both datasources bring same data at different granularity level. Solution A seems to be simpler and straightforward, but I am not sure if there will be any impact on performance if we update the marker intially with lot of requests from BF instead of a single BX request.

Inventory Management - Best Processes Documentation

Dear All,
We have recently implemented SAP in our organization. And we have mapped as such our process in sap. Now we want to know either the our processes regarding Inventory Management are best or not. So I want to get the complete documentation of SAP best processes in inventory management. I have gone through the SAP Best Practices Base line package. The Documentation in this is very limited regarding inventory management. Can any one guide where we can get the complete documentation regarding SAP best processes for inventory management.
Thanks in advance.
Kind Regards

Dear,
As you mentioned Implementation done in your organizations, If really comparison required by management - I suggest to go for a GAP analysis from any external firm. Inventory management is huge and based on real business requriements may be some best practices will not match client needs so accordingly changed or altered.
Check the link which have some best practices available @ http://help.sap.com/bp_hightechv1600/HighTech_Global/documentation/hightech2_hidden_EN_DE.htm

The interface connecting Lean-WM and inventory management

Dear experts!
Thank you for your attention!
I am confused at the interface connecting Lean-WM and inventory management.
there are so many concepts in this field, such storage location, picking areas, storage types and so on.
Could you please give me an real case or a illustration to discribe that how the interface connecting Lean-WM and inventory management works?
Best regard!
Tangdark

you do nto need to enter serial numbers while clearing inventory at WM level but at IM in case you have the serial profile activated then you need to enter serial numbers when clearing inventory from the IM level.
according to what you have said it should automatically pop up a screen where you need o enter the serial numbers but this is weird it is not doing.
Please check the following:-
Does the serial number profile config in OIS2 have "MMSL" as a property and if so is entry of serial numbers mandatory during goods receipt and issue ad if there is a stock check active

Will MIM (Merchandize and inventory management) work with SAP AFS / SAP POS

We are implementing SAP AFS ERP at the head office and SAP POS at the retail stores.
We want to implement the MIM module for inventory management at retail store level. Does MIM work in conjunction with SAP AFS. A consultant was suggesting that MIM works only with SAP Retail and no other vertical SAP solution.
Can someone please clarify?
Regards
paddy

MIM is linked to IS Retail, not to AFS.
Nevertheless, you can always link and AFS and a Retail system. SAP provides a very convincing ALE scheme for this.

Please check the following:
1. Ensure the BP for Common Parts is installed on the portal. This package is a prerequisite for the retail BP that u mentioned.
2. Make sure the system object that u created for the backend have passed the connection tests.
3. If this does not solve the issue, please check out the defaultTrace and application.log files under the following directory:

Stock Valuation - Inventory Management Cube

Dear Sap Gurus,
We have implemented the Inventory Management Cube in BW.
Quantities are correct, but we have difference on the stock valuation.
For some material stock value are correct, for some other they are not correct.
A saw a lot of OSS notes and how to on this subject, I am trying to solve this issue using these documents, but based on your experience could you explain me how you solved this issue ????
Thanks,

Hi
Did you follow the correct steps?
Initialisation of BX data in the first step.(Loading of Opening Stock)
Then The request in which the opening stock was loaded must always be
compressed with a marker update
Init load of BF And UM in the second step
The request in which the historical material documents were contained
must always be compressed without a marker update and
Successive delta uploads must always be compressed with marker
updates
Check this whether you have done this or not.
Because of missing the steps here also would give you wrong values,
Regards
Ram

HU without inventory management and message L3778 in storage type 999

Hi experts,
Need suggestion on the process to add inventory of an HU with status 'HU without inventory Management'. This issue has occurred out of the below scenario:
1. our warehouse is HU & WM managed.
2. We have a transfer order for a delivery document requesting to pick up 100 cases of MAT1 which is assigned to HU1.
3. While confirming the transfer order user has confirmed difference for the full quantity of 100 because the SU/HU was not found in the bin.
4. The system has set the status of HU as 'HU without inventory Management'. The HU is empty.
5. system has moved the stock from the bin to difference storage type 999.
Now user has found the stock for this HU and he wants to post the stock back into the bin. system does not allow to move the stock back to bin using LT01 as we get error message 'L3 778'.
What will be the best practice to get the stock back into the bin and post the stock into the same old HU.
Is there a process wherein we can post this stock to another bin and repack into the old HU?
Thanks,
Harish

Thanks Manish on the hint. I was able to transfer stock to partner location and then bring back to original Storage type/Bin. Below steps was used to fixed the issue:
1. Initiate a transfer of stock from WM/HU Sloc where the IM stock resides into Sloc 9099. An outbound delivery is created during this process.
2. Create a transfer order with reference to delivery and pick the stock from 999 storage type.
3. Create a Pick HU using LH01 and assign the HU on the pallet to the transfer order.
4. Confirm the transfer order using LT12.
5. Perform PGI for the delivery.
6. Use HUMO to display the HU and then you can transfer the stock back to WM/HU location using the storage location transfer option available on the HUMO screen(EDIT à change HU posting à Storage location)
7. Perform Bin to bin transfer to move the SU from 921 storage type to putaway the HU/SU back to the destined Storage type/Bin.

Harish

Inventory Management - BADI

Good day,
Currently the Inventory Management extractors(2LIS_03_BF, 2LIS_03_BX, 2LIS_03_UM) only extracts Local Currency. We would like to extract the values in Group Currency as well. Doing currency translations is not an option for several business reasons. We have to have the Group currency as it appears in the Material Ledger. I debugged the standard extractor for Inventory management and noticed that the extractor caters for a BAdI(Business Add In). Can anyone please give me an indication where I can look for this BAdI. I looked on SPRO on R/3 and there is a list of BAdI's under BW, but I don't know which one to use and how to use it. I would appreciate help in this regard.
Thank you.
Regards.
Verushca Hunter

Hi dear and welcome on board !
I think you have to fill your additional field in the usual exit provided for customer enhancement (RSAP0001) in CMOD transaction, EXIT_SAPLRSAP_001 in the include ZXRSAU01...
Otherwise you can go fot the new RSU5_SAPI_BADI...
Hope it helps!

Inventory management

Hi,
In Inventory management ...for reports i am using standard queries taken from metadata repository but i am not using the standard cube instead using a custom cube and copied all those queries on to custom cube...since for all figures routines have been written in update rules...
please tell me wheather i need to test them with R/3 to know whether data flow or data entries are right or no...
if i have to test from BW to R/3 then i need to test them in Standard reports of R/3 not using RSA3 becoz the values of key figures are calculated during runtime and i dnt get them in RSA3 m i right?
please suggest me where i can search the standard reports in R/3...which transactions i need to use...
e.g.Receipt quantity :Blocked stock(0RECBLOSTC)
WHERE can i get the values for this in R/3?
thanks in advance,
Vijaya

Hi,
The information on "how to validate" given in the note 586163:
TAC MB5B <-> Queries 0IC_C03_Q???
(Stocks/movements R/3 <-> BW)
TACs MC.? <-> Queries 0IC_C03_Q???
(Inventory controlling LIS <-> BW)
Reports MBQUANT and RM07MMFI
(verification of the R/3 data)
Notes 739863 and 745788 provide additional information in this regard, as well as the options that exist to clean up data in BW.
Note 766622 provides you with the option
of creating a LOG file for the extraction.
With rgds,
