Stock at plant level

Hey,
Is it possible to have stock at plant level. Or do you always need a storage location?
Steven

Hello,
When you have a record in MARC for a certain material plant combination, but no record in MARD for that combination then it means that for the material no stock is possible at storage location level.
If you have a entry in MARD table means for that material you have stock at plant / Storage location level.
But incase if material is provided to subcontract ( Vendor ) then this stock will not be at storage location level but it will be at plant level.
e.g. - total 1000 qty
100 - provided to vendor for subcontracting
800 - stor. A
100 - stor. B
Then in MARD you will get only 900 qty and not 1000 qty

Data Mismatch: Plant level stock and Serial Number collection

Hi,
I am working with stock in SM.
I want the plant level stock and the serial number collection for the serialised material. The value coming for the plant stock is 20 (Eg. MATNR = 50004050) and the corresponding serial number collection is 27. But the values in plant stock and in the serial number collection should be one and the same.
For getting the plant stock I'm using the MARA and MARC table. For getting the serial number collection I'm using EQUI and EQBS table.
When I increase the stock using the transaction MB1C and movement type 561, I'm giving the serial numbers for the material. The issued serial numbers are coming in the serial number collection correctly but the stock at the plant level is not getting updated properly. Please let me know from where I can get same stock.
Thanks in Advance,
Mohan

This could happen, if the status of serial number is wrongly updated to ESTO. From where are you taking serial numbers?Physically what is right the qty showing plant stock or the qty showing serial number? May be you go and check the history of the serial number to see if it is really available in stock.
Also it can be serial number is optional so though the stock is reduced but serial number is not captured while issuing so the stock at plant level is less but serial number is more,
If this is the case, reconciallation directly from tables will be difficult.

Stock Mismatch at Plant level and Serial Number Collection

Hi,
I'm working on with the material stocks in my application. For the serialised material (MATNR = 50004050), I'm gettting the plant level stock as 20 and the corresponding serial numbers collection for the same material is 27 which is wrong. Since the plant level stock and the serial number collection should be one and the same
I'm using MARA, MARC table for getting the plant level stock and EQUI and EQBS table to get the serial number collection. If I increase the stock using the transaction 'MB1C' and movement type '561', the serial numbers which I'm giving for the serialised material is coming in the serial number collection but the plant level stock still in the previous value itself. If I raise the stock for the serialised material, the plant level stock also should get updated.
Please let me know, how can I get the stock equal in both plant and serial number collection.
Thanks in Advance,
Mohan.

Un-restricted total stock for Plant/Material/StLoc combo, Split-val & WBS

Hi
Users need Un-restricted total stock for combination Plant/Material/StLoc combination ; we have MARD-LABST.
Further, needs WBS & split -Valuation materials stock in the same report or SQVI. I tried to create SQVI, but it`s giving WBS stock as multiple times for SLocs.
I`m using tables QBEW,MSPR,MCHB in the table join.
Pls advise me suitable solution as Std SAP report or SQVI.
Thanks,
Ganesh

Thanks for reply.
But, I need unstricted stock for Mat/Plant/StLoc also to be displayed in the same report .i.e. MARD-LABST.
The MBBS gives stock at Plant level for WBS.
Can both be clubbed? Or need to get from separate reports?

MCHB,MARD - Stock available at plant level and storage location level

Hi ,
How to determine how much stock available at Storage location level and Plant level. (Lot is not maintained).
In MCHB-Stock at lot level is shown.
In MARD-Stock at Storage Location level is shown lncluding
the stock maintaned at the lot level.
If i want to know the stock which is not maintained in Lot, i.e, Stocks directly maintained at Storage location / Plant.
Do I need to subtract the MCHB Value from MARD Value ?
Is there any other way available to find the stocks which is not maintained at lot level.
Regards
Prasath

Hi prashant,
What do u mean by stock maintained at SL level without batch level. Do u mean that some materials are subjected to batch management and some or not?
If that is the case, for all batch managed materials, u can see the stock at batch level and also same is summed up at SL level. But still what ever u are getting from MARD table isstock at SL level only.
If u have activated batch management for any material, it will always be shown at lot level also.
hope this clarfifies query

STOCK QUNTITY on posting date at a plant level

I need the stock quntity , issue quntity , reciept quntity and averege quantity at plant level for a period of week, and month
Is there any function that can do it or any table that has those detailes or any program?

Hi,
Check S031 table. It is a LIS info structure which store all goods movements in your system. But the key would based be on the variant your system configured to. I mean it will be either by Fiscal period/ Week/ Calendar Month for plant material.
Hope this will give you some clue.

Defining Batch Level
Use
This transaction enables you to set the batch level for batch management. Three unique options for a material are available:
u2022     At plant level
u2022     At material level
u2022     At client level
Prerequisites
If the material or client level for a material is chosen, check that no materials exist in stock. If a material exists in stock, the level may not be changeable.

What is use of cost centre ( scrap & detroying) in plant level QM settings?

Hi all,
What is use of cost centre ( scrap & detroying) in plant level QM settings?
kindly suggest me the usage of the same.

Its simple..........
In UD screen you have stock posting options like scrap ,sample ,new material etc.
Now when you mention cost center in Scrap means -
>while stock posting your material will be consumed against this cost center--->mvt type 350
you mention cost center in destroying means -
>while stock posting your material will be consumed against this cost center--->mvt type 331

Account determination at plant level

Hi All,
There is a requirement: we have 1 cocode and 10 plants are assigned to it. Valuation is to be at plant level.
There are around 15 valuation classes. While doing config for account determination, do i need to assign each combn of valuation modifier and valuation class to a different GL account for stock postings i.e. BSX ?
Thanks
Ritu
Edited by: ritu on Dec 24, 2007 8:12 AM

Hi Ritu
G/L accounts will differenciate the accounts which u procure the matls. If u maintain the same G/L account for all valuation class, for all types of materials system wil show same gl account .This will confuse the accounts person. u should differentiate the matls.
Mainthing is gl accounts to be defined by accounts people based on business process.
For ex: If u maintain same gl accounts for raw matl and finished goods, accounts guy wants to check the price that how much raw matl consumed on this month. what he wil do he will check based on gl account.
if u use "transxn event key" or "general modifier" you r more specifying the gl accounts for ur business transactions.
Finally if u want to differentiate accounts u have to maintain different gl account.
In ur case maintain one valuation grouping code for all plants and assign to ur company code and ur chart of account.
Maintain different gl account for ur valuation class and ur valuation grouping code.
For any clarification plse rewert back.
reward if useful.

Client level, plant level and material level batch

Hi,
Can any body tell me wat is the actual meaning of
!) Client level batch,
2) plant level batch,
3) material level batch
with exa. please.
Thanks
Nilesh Ithape

Hi,
Below is the extract from the IMG Documentstion..
====================================================================
Batch numbers can be unique at the following levels:
at plant level
at material level
at client level for a material
If you choose plant level, the batch number is unique in conjunction with the respective material and the plant. If you choose material level, the batch number is unique together with the material. At client level, the batch number is unique in the whole client.
To change the batch level, you have to start a conversion program. This program first checks whether conversion is possible and outputs an error log containing all batch numbers that occur more than once at the new level. Now you need to manually transfer these batch records to batch numbers within Inventory Management using a transfer posting 'material to material'.
If you change the level from plant level to a higher level, it is possible that batches with the same batch numbers in different plants are actually identical. In this case, all you have to do is remove stocks (including previous period stocks) so that all batches with the same batch numbers, except one, can be reorganized.
When you convert from plant level to material level, the material is then to be handled in batches in all plants in which it is defined.
=========================================================
Hope this helps..

Availability check at plant level

dear all,
my issue is
i maintain two storage location for raw material say 1 and 2. material is transported from 1 to 2 by 311 Mvt. as 2 is storage at shop floor.
production storage location maintain in MRP-2 view of this material master is 2 .
our client require that while release of process order for its header material system should not give material shortage error .system should check availability of material in production storage location 2.
on not finding sufficiet quatity in 2 it should check for storage location 1, and on finding sufficient qty to fill the remaining requirement shuld not give error of missing part.
to check material availability at plant level i ticked the indicator-"No storage location Inspection" in OPJJ config. setting.
on this config. change also, while releasing the process order system automatically pick storage location 2(production storage location maintain in material master) on checking the mateial page assigned for this order and give missing part on check availability.
some of our raw material are active for batch management.
here also on releasing order of there header material system assign production storage location 2 to that raw material assigned to that order and searh batch only in storage location 2. and on not finding any stock in storage loc. 2 give message insufficient batch assignment and not check the stock in stor. loc. even it available in 1.
kindly explain ...what may be the reason,
even on checking availability at plant level its not considering all the storage location assigned to that materila for this plant.
thanks and regards.

Dear,
In MRP2 view you need to maintain the second storage location i;e production storage laoction from which you are taking batches for production. So it will get copied to the component details of order.
When you will do the batch determination at that time system will select the batches as per availibility.
So in your case you need to do the batch determination agian after the store persone transfer the material to the production storage loaction then system will take all batches available in the production storage location.
Stock determination enables you to implement various strategies to withdraw material for goods issues and stock transfers. You configure these strategies in Customizing. Based on the material requirements entered, the R/3 system determines how and when the material should be withdrawn, and from which storage locations and stocks.
Create sort sequence with ascending order
Then create batch search strategy in MBC1 or COB1 transaction
Give the sort rule there
Give the no. of batch splits as much as you want or just keep 999
Then try doing the batch determination & check if you are getting what you want
If you don't use the Batch entry as 3 then COR6N you can determine batches here then it will get copied to order after confirmation.
Revert if you want further clarifications
Hope clear to you.

About the effect for batch level conversion from material to plant level

Dears,
Now we use batch management at material level in our system, now we want to change to batch level from material level to plant level, what effects or risks it will bring during the process of conversion?
Thanks a lot

Hi
check the following SAP help link it is very helpful:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_40b/helpdata/es/d2/1d4b6e5733d1118b3f0060b03ca329/content.htm
at the link you can find the following
Specify batch level and activate status management
In this IMG activity, you specify the following:
the level at which batch numbers are unique
whether batch status management is active in the client
the plants in which batch status management is active
the initial status of new batches
Batch level
Batch numbers can be unique at the following levels:
at plant level
at material level
at client level for a material
If you choose plant level, the batch number is unique in conjunction with the respective material and the plant. If you choose material level, the batch number is unique together with the material. At client level, the batch number is unique in the whole client.
To change the batch level, you have to start a conversion program. This program first checks whether conversion is possible and outputs an error log containing all batch numbers that occur more than once at the new level. Now you need to manually transfer these batch records to numbers within Inventory Management using a transfer posting 'material to material'.
If you change the level from plant level to a higher level, it is possible that batches with the same batch numbers in different plants are actually identical. In this case, all you have to do is remove stocks (including previous period stocks) so that all batches with the same batch numbers, except one, can be reorganized.
When you convert from plant level to material level, the material is then to be handled in batches in all plants in which it is defined.
Standard settings
In the standard R/3 System, batches are unique at plant level.
Activities
To change the batch level, proceed as follows:
      1. Choose the level at which you want your batches to be unique.
      2. Save the new settings and choose Back.
      3. Select function Batch level -> Conversion.
      4. If necessary, carry out the conversion in test mode first.
Further notes
Note that you cannot reset conversion from plant level to a higher level in the standard.
If you create a client by copying an existing client, initially, there are no settings in the target client at batch level. The system makes the settings in the target client only when you have carried out an activity (maintaining master data or posting a goods movement, for example).
SETTINGS BEFORE/AFTER CLIENT COPY:
Source client Target client
Client level Material level
Material level Material level
Plant level Plant level
Batch status management
Batch status management is an additional function provided by the standard R/3 System.
Standard settings
Batch status management is not active in the standard R/3 system.
Activities
To activate batch status management, proceed as follows:
      1. Choose Batch status management active.
      2. Save the new setting and choose Back.
      3. Choose Batch status management -> conversion.
      4. If necessary, carry out the conversion in test mode first.
Further notes
Batch status management is linked to the batch level. At material and at plant level, the status management settings are valid within the client, that is for all plants. However, if you have defined batches to be unique at plant level, you have to select the plants in which status management is to be active using function Plants with status management.
If you activate status management, all existing batches are assigned status 'unrestricted'. If you deactivate status management, the systems transfers all restricted batches to unrestricted stock within conversion. Restricted stock only exists if status management is active.
If you create a client by copying an existing client, status management is automatically activated if batches exist in the target client, independent of the settings in the source client. If no batches exist in the target client, it is not activated. In this case, you have to activate or deactivate status management manually, if required.
Plants with batch status management
Activities
To select the plants in which status management is to be active, proceed as follows:
      1. Set characteristic Batch status management for those plants in which batch status management is to be active.
      2. Save your settings and choose function Back.
      3. Choose function Batch status management -> conversion
      4. If necessary, carry out the conversion in test mode first.
Initial status of a new batch
Using this function, you can specify for each material type which initial status new batches are to be assigned. However, if you use a quality management system, this specifies the status of the batches.
Hope it will help
Best Regards
