"Req. Inv. Level" in the Item Master Data - Inventory Data

Dear All,
Would like to ask what is the function of the "Req. Inv. Level" in the Item Master Data -> Inventory Data ??
What is the different with Min. Inventory?
And what is the different with Item Master Data -> Planning Data -> Minimum Order Qty ??
Thank you very much!!!

Dear All,
Thank you for your reply.
i found something strange for the MRP, it is as the following:
at 06.11.2009, i have created 1 SO : SO123
qty: 150
due date: 10.11.2009
for the Minimum Order Qty in Planning Data: 200
Lead time: 2 days
when i run MRP, it can show at 10.11.2009, qty 200 is needed to be purchase (it match the Minimum Order Qty in Planning Data:200)
But when i set the lead time to be 10 days), it only show at 10.11.2009, qty 150 is needed (in red font).
Question: seems if the date for the material to arrive (06.11.2009+10 days = 16.11.2009, which is excess the due date of the SO 10.11.2009) is over the due date (10.11.2009) then the MRP will just show qty150 instead of showing qty 200 (the Minimum Order Qty) ? so after that when create the PO by using Order Recommendation Report, it qty in the PO is 150 only, but not 200.
is it how the MRP in B1 works?
thank you very much!!

Add barcode in the item master data

Hi All
we have a field in the item master data called Bar Code. if you have several hundred thousand items in the database how do you assign a barcode for each item? do you enter the barcode manually for each item or is there any other way to enter this item's barcode automatically when the item is added into ware house? if you have enter manually the barcode how we should follow with the number of characters in the field? is that should look like exactly on the barcode label when you print? or we need to follow our own naming convention in using the numbers?
thanks

Incorrect "Ordered" quantity in the item master data

Hello Experts,
I have a situation where there are two items we have found that show the incorrect ordered quantity in the item master data. This is in fact the ordered column and the items are not production items. One of the items is showing a negative quantity and the other is showing 50,000 LBs less than it should given the one open production order with NO GRPO documents linked. Please advise ASAP..
Thank you,

Hi,
You need to check the detect query and the scenarios in the Note No. : 999124.
If the detect query of the Note returns result, you need to log a support ticket to get the database investigated.

Importing pictures into the item master data

Hello, everyone,
I want to import pictures into the items master data - does anyone know which size the picture should have?
The problem is - i just tested it with some pics of 640x480, but the placeholder in the item data must be smaller, so the picture is scaled down and as result of that it doesn't look good (the colors are falsified and there are also some artifacts). If I double-click the picture and it's opened in an own window in its original resolution - everything is fine..but i want a good quality of the picture in the item data already.
So my first idea was to make pictures of the resolution of that placeholder in SBO, but i don't know how to get this. Any ideas?
Best Regards,
Leon Detzel

Hi Ulrich
The picture size does not matter, but rather a setting in Administration > System Initialization > General settings > Display TAB. On this tab you will find a setting with a drop down called "Ext. Image Processing". Set this to full and the full quality of any pictures will be used, but of course resized to fit the field. Bear in mind that images are not embedded in the tables but only the file name of the image is stored in the table.
Kind regards

Using DTW to update the Item Master Data attachment tab

Hi Experts,
Has anyone tried using DTW to update the Attachments Tab on the Item Master Data please? I tried a few things (similar to importing an attachment to an activity) and couldn't get it to work.
I couldn't see that anything to do with the Attachments Tab was exposed in DTW when looking at the mapping fields and also when looking through the options available in the Items Object under Customize Templates - but then I might not be seeing it correctly!
Any ideas or solutions would be great.
Many thanks,
Caroline

Hi Caroline,
AtcEntry is correct for the document, this relates to the AbsEntry in OATC, which then in turn links to AbsEntry in ATC1.
There are a few fields that need to be populated in ATC1:
AbsEntry
Line - To be used if more than 1 Attachment
SrcPath - for the file path
Filename - for the file name
FileExt - for file type - i.e. .pdf
You may be able to configure DTW to import these as a manually created DTW but I suspect that OATC and ATC1 are not open to the Di which will stop it. Coincidently I have been looking at Task Centre to update these but have encountered the same problem

MISSING ACCOUNTING TABS IN THE ITEM MASTER

I did an LSMW for new items for different plants that we have. When I check the item in the item master I find the accounting tabs missing. There are approximately 630 items that need to be fixed. Does anyone know how to add the accounting tabs to a large group of items. I tried MASS t-code and it didn't work.

Hi,
for the 630 items missing accounting compose an LSMW again with the required legacy file(data upload) information using MM01 transaction.
This should add the accounting views for the required materials.

Automatically Update a UDF in the Item Master

Hi Experts,
I am new to SAP Business One. I need to update automatically the value of a UDF. The value will be calculated using data from related tables. Calculation includes -summation, divide and minus etc. Could you provide guide.
For example a new UDF should contain the suggested quantity to order in the Item Master Data. This is calculated considering the running average sales quantity as of current time for this month and deduct the available quantity on hand and also deduct the quantity already ordered (arriving soon to be delivered to warehouse).
Formula:      = ( S / N ) * D - ( OnHand ) - ( Ordered )
where   S = Quantity sold so far within this month
              N = days count ( if today is March 18, N = 18 )
              D = number of days for this month. (can be 28, 30 or 31 days)
This means that the data in the database must also be updated. I appreciate your input.
If possible, the OITW, MinOrder will be updated instead of a UDF.

Haven't tested it properly, but something like this....
select
(s0.qty / datepart(day,getdate())) * datepart(day,(DateAdd(day, -1, DateAdd(month, DateDiff(month, 0, getdate())+1, 0)))) - t0.onhand - t0.onorder
from
oitm t0
left join
(select     t0.itemcode,
          sum(t0.quantity) as qty
          from inv1 t0
          inner join
          oinv t1
          on t0.docentry = t1.docentry
          where datepart(month,t1.docdate) = datepart(month,getdate())
          and datepart(year,t1.docdate) = datepart(year,getdate())
          group by t0.itemcode) s0
on t0.itemcode = s0.itemcode
where t0.itemcode = $[OITM.ITEMCODE]
Currently this adds up the qty from all invoices, if you want to subtract credit notes you just have to build in a second subselect from ORIN and RIN1 and subtract them off.
Hope this helps.

OCM for Revesion level in the Material Master and for the BOM

Hello,
I use My SAP 6.
I have implemented OCM. It's used for 2 things:
- The first is for revision level in the Material Master.
- the second is for the BOM.
Today, the customizing is good, it's work.
My need is to have the same change number for those 2 evolutions: for the material master evolution and for the BOM evolution.
It's possible, and how?
Thanks for your answers.

I do not think this is possible. Service level is usually used for safety stock planning.

Failed to update in the Item Master Form ATO field checked

Hi All ,
I am trying to implement B2B ( Back to Back Order ) and to implement the B2B the ATO should be checked irrespective of Manufacturing is installed or not.
Now the problem is I am able to update some of the item but failed to update some of the item and it gives error " the Sales Order Line is opened you can not
check the ATO".
Now I did to avoid this I updated the columns BUILD_IN_WIP_FLAG to 'Y' and REPLENISH_TO_ORDER_FLAG = 'Y' in the Item master table .
And I was successfully able made further transaction of the open sales order line.
I wanted to know to updating the field BUILD_IN_WIP_FLAG to 'Y' and REPLENISH_TO_ORDER_FLAG = 'Y' will impact our bussiness in Future.
Regards,
Sharad

Hello Sharad,
First thing, if you are implementing B2B in your system then your organization is a Manufacturing organization or distribution organization?
If this is not a Manufacturing organization, then the item should be a Buy Item along with ATO attribute enabled. So that the B2B requisition created & then PO.
If you are implementing Assemble to Order in Manufacturing organization, then your ordered item should be a make item not a buy item. For this sub assembly or finally assembly you need to define the bill, routing etc. After that once you book the ATO sales order, the work order will be created. & the process continues.
The error "the Sales Order Line is opened you cannot check the ATO", comes when you are having open sales order exists & you are trying to update item attributes. It is always advisable to close all the sales order lines in this case before changing the same.
Unless & until you are using BOM & WIP in your organization, change of BUILD_IN_WIP_FLAG will not affect. Please make sure not to update these attributes from backend using database update script.

How can I update accounts by Warehouse in Item Master Data, Inventory Data

I have all of my inventory items set to G/L Accounts by Item Group and I need to change it to Item Level. I know I can do this with DTW and Choose update using the oItems >> Items template. I also need to modify the Stock account (inventory account) for one warehouse on all items. It is the second part I can't get to work. I get a message that "Field Cannot be Updated(ODBC - 1029)Application-Defined or object-defined error65171.
Thanks,
Don

Hi,
If you have made already the transactions you cannot update the G/L method.
Secondly if you have set G/L by Item level then you need to define the inventory accounts for all the items in your template then only you will be able to proceed further

How do you use the "Item Containing Start/End Date" in a Calendar?

Hi
I want to do a calendar where the days shown will be conditional to a certain interval. Now I though I could achieve that using the Item Containing Start Date of a calendar. But it doesn't seem to work. In the help it says :
Enter an item in the application which holds the start date of the calendar. The format of the date in this item must be YYYYMMDD.
This is what I did here
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=34530:1::::::
I have 3 fields. 2 for the Start Date and End Date and 1 for the "Date Item" parameter. Only the latter has an effect on the calendar display, the calendar only displays the month of the "Date Item" (in monthly mode).
Wether or not I check "Begin at Start of Interval", it doesn't affect the way those fields are affecting the Calendar.
So, how do we use that "Item Containing Start/End Date" parameter?

Service Level in the Material Master

Hi -
Can the service level field in the material master MRP view be used to drive additional demand independant of safety stock? Meaning, is there any way I can enter a service level and have it increase demand even if I am not using it to calculate safety stock?
Thanks

I do not think this is possible. Service level is usually used for safety stock planning.

How to get the item stock for a date

Hi all
I need to get the item stock quantity on a date, but i don´t know if i can get it from a table or if i have to make a query to calculate it from the documents´lines. If you can help me please reply this post.
Thanks

Do you already know of table OINM (Warehouse table) - it is not documented in SAP-BO references?
This table contains entries for each movement in stocks of your system. Here are some examples of fields in this table:
BASE_REF document number of document affecting OITW.OnHand
DocDate      date of this document
ItemCode     Item of which the stock quantity is changed
Dscription    name of item
Warehouse affected stock
InQty       number of items added into stock (OITW.OnHand is increased)
OutQty       number of items taken from stock (OITW.OnHand is decreased)
TransType   type of booking (see below)
Balance      this is NOT the OITW.OnHand at the date of this booking;
                  it's something like the cumulated stock value in some currency
To calculate the OnHand-value at a date of any of these bookings you have to
sum up the incoming/outgoing quantities, e.g. (z.B. SUM(InQty) - SUM(OutQty)).
Relation between the type of booking and the values in InQty / OutQty:
++ InQty/OutQty contain the number of items added to/taken from the stock;
the number complies to the value OITW.OnHand is increased/decreased;
-- doesn't affect stock (InQty/OutQty = 0)
? missing documentation
TransType InQty OutQty
-2              ++     --         opening balance
13      --       --         outgoing invoice
13              --      ++          outgoing invoice without previous delivery note
15              --      ++        delivery note
18              --       --         incoming invoice
20             ++      --         incoming delivery note
58             ?        ?          inventory
59             ++      --         stock receipt (without purchasing transactions)
60              --      ++        goods issue (without sales transactions)
67              --      ++        transfer between stocks
67             ++      --         transfer between stocks
I hope that I got your question right and that my hints will help you!

Item master - change inventory item also as a purchase item

hi all,
How to change inventory item for which BOM is created already also as a purchase item ?

You will need to delete the Components of the BOM / delete the BOM itself. Change the Item type and re-define the BOM.
