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

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:
Physical Inventory is a business process in which physical stock is matched with book (system) stock. It is legal requirement to carry out physical inventory at least once in a year.
Physical inventory can be carried out both for a companyu2019s own stock (Unrestricted, Quality, Blocked Stock) and for special stocks (Customer Consignment stock, Vendor consignment stock from vendor, Returnable packaging). This inventory is carried out saperately for both type of stocks.
Physical Inventory Processes:
Several inventory processes available for physical inventory which includes as follow:
1. Periodic Physical Inventory
o All stocks of the company are physically counted on the balance sheet key date
o Every material must be counted
o Entire warehouse must be blocked for material movements during count.
2. Continuous Physical Inventory
o Stocks are counted continuously during the entire fiscal year.
o It is important to ensure that every material is physically counted at least once during the year.
3. Cycle Counting
o In this method of physical inventory, inventory is counted at regular intervals within a fiscal year.
o These intervals (or cycles) depend on the cycle counting indicator set for the material in Material Master record as CC indicator in plant view data.
o With this Cycle Counting Method of Physical Inventory allows fast-moving items to be counted more frequently than slow-moving items.
4. Inventory Sampling
o Randomly selected stocks of the company are physically counted on the balance sheet key date.
o If found not much variance between the counted stock and the book book stock, it is presumed that the book inventory balances for the other stocks are correct.
Physical Inventory Process Cycle Flow
1. Creation of physical inventory document
- Physical inventory document(s) is created individually or using the batch program, click for more information
- The transaction codes for creation physical inventory are as follow
Individual Inventory documentation creation
MI01 - Individual physical inventory creation
MIS1 - Inventory Sampling document creation
MICN - Cycle count inventory document creation
Collective Inventory document creation
MI31 - Own stock without special stock
MIK1 - Vendor consignment
MIQ1 - Project stock
MIM1 - Returnable Transpiration material
MIW1 - Customer Consignment stock
MIV1 - Returnable material with customer
MIO1 - Material provided to Vendor (Subcontracting material)
2. Print physical inventory document
- Physical Inventory document can be printed based on the physical inventory document status and or item status
- Transaction code MI21 is used to print the inventory document where print default value can be populated
3. Count the physical stock
- Based on the inventory document printout, the warehouse person will check the stock of material physically and note that on print out. This is completely physical process.
4. Enter count in system
- On completion of physical count, the count result is needs to be entered in the system. This can be with reference (using Tcode MI04) or without reference (using Tcode MI04) to the physical inventory document.
- If count quantity for that material is ZERO then select ZC (zero count) column instead of putting 0 in qty field. If 0 is used for zero count then systm will consider that as "not counted"
5. Analyze difference
- Once count is posted in the system, difference analysis can be carried out using transaction MI20
- The output gives information based on the input criteria i.e. physical inventory document, plant, material etc.
- The output gives information about the book quantity, Counted quantity, difference in quantity and value.
- From this output list, you can carry out further process ie initiate recount, change count quantity, post difference
6. Initiate recount and follow the steps 3,4,5
- If found unacceptable difference, recount is initiated using directly from difference analysis list (transaction code MI20) or using transaction code MI11.
- New inventory document will be created for selected items or for entire document
- The original document items will be deactivated once recount is initiated so original document will not be available for further process.
- On initiating recount, you need to process same as for new count document.
7. Post the difference
- Several options are available for posting difference
- Post difference after count is posted using transaction code MI07
- Posting the count and inventory differences using transaction code MI08, here you have created physical inventory but not counted so with this you can count and post difference in sinle step.
- Entering the count without a document reference using trasnaction code MI10, with this you can create inventory document, enter the count and post difference in single step.
some more points for posting difference
- Posting period must be open to post inventory difference.
- The fiscal year is set by specifying a planned count date when creating a physical inventory document.
- Tolerence to crear difference per user group can be set in customization.
- The system will generate material document for the difference qty and post the value to appropriate account (for valuated stock)
- The movement type in material document will be 701 or 702 based on gain or loss of material.
Serial Numbers in Physical Inventory
If material is managed with serial number then it is possible to carry out physical inventory for material with serial number. There are some pre-requisite before you carry out physical inventory for serialized materials.
- Serial number profile must be maintained in the material master.
- the serialization procedure MMSL (maintaining goods receipt and goods issue documents) has to be assigned to serial number profile.
- The stock check indicator in the serial number profile should be configured.
- Maintain basic settings for the serial numbers in customization for Serial Number Profile.
- Configure serial number management for physical inventory in the Settings for Physical Inventory step in Customizing for Inventory Management.
Blocked Stock Returns are the stock which is return stock from Customer or the stock which can be return back to vendor. To restrict the usage of this stock mostly business do transfer posting for this mateial as BLOCKED stock

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.

Type of Physical Inventory

Dear All,
            how many type of Physical Inventory we can do in SAP.Please explain in detials & also Steps(T-code).
Regards
Pavan

Hi,
Physical Inventory Locate the document in its SAP Library structure
Purpose
This component allows you to carry out a physical inventory of your companys warehouse stocks for balance sheet purposes. Various procedures can be implemented for this.
Scope of Functions
In the SAP system, a physical inventory can be carried out both for a companys own stock and for special stocks. Inventory for a companys stock and for special stocks (such as consignment stock at customer, external consignment stock from vendor, or returnable packaging) must be taken separately (in different physical inventory documents), however.
Note that the blocked stock returns and the stock in transfer cannot be inventoried. If these stocks are still to be counted in a physical inventory, you must transfer post these stocks to other stocks capable of inclusion in a physical inventory.
The stock in a warehouse can be divided into stock types. In the standard system, a physical inventory can be carried out for the following stock types:
·        Unrestricted-use stock in the warehouse
·        Quality inspection stock
·        Blocked stock
Note
If batch status management is active, the first stock type covers both unrestricted-use stock and restricted-use stock.
Inventory of all stock types mentioned can be taken in a single transaction. For the materials to be inventoried, one item is created in the physical inventory document for every stock type.
Physical inventory takes place at storage location level. A separate physical inventory document is created for every storage location.
If a material does not exist in a storage location, this means that no goods movement has ever taken place for the material in the storage location. The material, therefore, has never had any stock in this storage location. The material does not exist at stock management level in the storage location. It is therefore not possible to carry out a physical inventory for the material in this storage location.
This is not to be confused with a material for which a goods movement has taken place and for which the stock balance is currently zero. A physical inventory must be carried out in this case, since storage location data is not deleted when the stock balance is zero.
Physical Inventory Procedures
The SAP System supports the following physical inventory procedures:
·        Periodic inventory
·        Continuous inventory
·        Cycle counting
·        Inventory sampling
Periodic Physical Inventory
In a periodic inventory, all stocks of the company are physically counted on the balance sheet key date. In this case, every material must be counted. During counting, the entire warehouse must be blocked for material movements.
Continuous Physical Inventory
In the continuous physical inventory procedure, stocks are counted continuously during the entire fiscal year. In this case, it is important to ensure that every material is physically counted at least once during the year.
Cycle Counting
Cycle counting is a method of physical inventory where inventory is counted at regular intervals within a fiscal year. These intervals (or cycles) depend on the cycle counting indicator set for the materials.
The Cycle Counting Method of Physical Inventory allows fast-moving items to be counted more frequently than slow-moving items.
Inventory Sampling
In Structure link MM Inventory Sampling, randomly selected stocks of the company are physically counted on the balance sheet key date. If the variances between the result of the count and the book inventory balance are small enough, it is presumed that the book inventory balances for the other stocks are correct.
Updating the Logistics Information System (LIS)
The physical inventory is connected to the Logistics Information System (LIS). When inventory differences are updated in the LIS, they are displayed both on a quantity and on a value basis. The physical inventory items are aggregated at inventory number level, plant level, storage location level, and material level. If you need more detailed information on the inventory differences in the LIS, you can access the list of inventory differences directly from the LIS and continue the analysis at item level.
Restrictions
The posting of physical inventory differences is subject to certain time constraints:
·        The posting period is automatically set during counting. Therefore, the inventory difference must be posted to the same period or - if postings to the previous period are allowed - in the following period.
·        The fiscal year is set by specifying a planned count date when creating a physical inventory document. All subsequent postings to this document must take place in this fiscal year and/or in the first period of the following fiscal year, if postings to the previous period are allowed.

Document Types - Physical Inventory

My Client want to have different document type while doing the Physical Inventory In stead of "IB" which is standard document sap has provided.
Client want to have separate document type . Please advise any menthod is available so that I can inform client accordingly

Koteswar

I do not generally agree to your statement. It depends pretty much how big your system is and how many document you create per year.
I am just in the process of changing it from 9999 to year specific, because we will hit the last number in October or November this year.
And this change is awful as I need a time spot without any posting in the system which is almost impossible to find in a system which works 24 hours a day and 7 days a week, because you first have to make the current number initial before you can change the year. And if postings are going on then it might happen that document with wrong numbers get created, especially if the number range buffers are set to 10.
if you use yearly number ranges, then the year itself becomes the second key for the number range. This means you can have the same document number in every year.
in MIGO or MB03 you then have to enter the year together with the document number to find a unique document.

Part needs to be replaced in Physical inventory

A part number from the physical inventory document needs to be replaced by another part number.
Can any body suggest on this
Thanks,
Anand K

Hi,
Once the Physical Inventory document is posted you cannot change the Part no.
You can reverse the qty for the same material No again by creating physical inventory document.
Then for the New material no create Physical Inventory

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.

Error while creating physical inventory document with zero count

Hi,
I am trying to create a physical inventory document for a material that has zero stock and that is not batch managed but I am geting an error as below.
"Item 001: No batches that can be included in phys. inv. exist.(Message no. M7701)"
This error occurs only for one or two materials.
I am able to create the physical inventory document for other materials which is also zero stock and there is no batch managed for the same.
Can anyone pls advice.
Regards,
Ramya

hi
if your material is split valuated, but not batch managed, then the split valuation type is shown in field batch number. And...it is a batch then.
To be able to do a zero count you have to have a batch record whose batch number is the valuation type.
If you never had stock in the storage location you want count, then you have to
1. extend the material to this storage location with MMSC
2. create the batch record with MSC1N for this storage location.

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.
