Stock Determination Group

Hi Gurus,
What is importance of having Stock Determination Group in MRP 2 view?
If I define this and maintain for my raw and semi-finished material. These material are spilit valuated.
When I do backflushing, MFBF system will pick stocks based on rule maintained in stock determination for eg- pick first stock from Local, then go for imported.
But when I do the reversal, system doesnot use the same stock determination rule. I have give the input of material stock, where it is be put. Is it correct? Any inputs.
Pl clarify my doubt.
Srini

Hi Srini N,
Stock determination enables you to implement various strategies to withdraw material for goods issues and stock transfers. You configure these strategies in Customizing. Then the system determines how and when the material should be withdrawn, and from which storage locations and stocks.
Based on the stock determination strategy you predefine, the system makes decisions on material withdrawal depending on the material, plant, and the business process.
If the stock determination procedure did not remove materials from the stock you requested, you can only cancel this posting via a reverse posting in the application you are using.
You should always prepare each strategy thoroughly and configure and test the application components extensively before you start using them.
Hope it is clear to you.

Background stock determination fails to process Cogi records

We are in a process to Reprocess the COGI records which have been Backflushed through
DI u2013Backflush.
But It is found that system fails to process the records. giving the message u201C0 goods movements have been successfully executedu201D.
Stock is available for the material to process.
As per my assumption if the stock is available for the material then system has to populate correct store location and valuation type as per the priorities available in stock determination group and should process the records in COGI.

Hi there
SD is used to define that how and what basis the stock has to be consumed from the sloc for the orders/issues,,,,
1. Have to create the stock determination group for the plant,,
2. Create the stock determination rule and assign it to the Movement type/Transaction
3. Assign the SD group in material master (MRP2/Plant, data storage 2)
4. Define the strategy and maintain the Stock determination table..
And after that assign the SD rule in the applications,,
SPRO-IMG-Materials Management-Inventory Management and Physical Inventory-Stock Determination-Assign Stock Determination Rule in the Applications-Ex Production Order
ex: Plant/order type/SD rule,,,
SAP idealogy:
For Ex: @ the time of issue-
MIGO 201
Material - SD group
Transaction- Rule
Plant-SD strategy
Based on the above we have defined the table ( Slocations with priority and stock type) from that system will pick the location to issue the components,,
Ref the below link for more details,, (Page no: 208)

Stock Determination process with examples

Hi all
I am working for the first time on Stock determination
I have created Stock det group G001
Created Rule R001
And assigned both(Stock det Header) to Plant 1000
Next in stock determination item table i have defined that
Special stock indicator - F store loc 001 has priority 1
and K Store loc 1 has priority 2
After that i have attached the rule to Inventory management application -to Mov type 201
After that i have assigned the in material master in MRP2 view
Now for that material i have carried out consignment cycle and the Goods are at consignment Vendor in MMBE let us say 100 is at Consignment vendor and 10 at company's own stock.
Can anybody throw some light How stock determination will work in this case
Thanks and regards

Stock determination has to be enetered on "Plant data / stor.2" view (MARC-EPRIO)
Based on your settings, when you post GI via mvt 201, system should determine (automatically). FIRST goods from your own stock. If there's no own stock, THEN system should determine the goods from customer consignment.
Why don't you try it in your system?

Significance and settings related to Stock determ. group , in material mas

Dear friends,
I want to know indetail information ,regarding functionality and pertained settings related to the field in Material master in Plant Data/Storage-2 in under General plant parameters , the field of _Stock determ. group_

Hi,
Stock determination is used to determine the special stock type , the movement type and the production storage location of requirements.
It is carried out during the backflushing of components (Refer REM)
You assign the stock determination rule to a plant, an order type .In order to carry out stock determination, you need a strategy that specifies how stock is to be reduced. The withdrawal strategy is deduced from the combination of the checking rule (plant/order type/transaction) and checking group (material master).
You do the IMG settings in Materials management-> Inventory management. T code - OSPX
Stock dertermination rule applicable in the following field
Inventory, Production order, REM,Pull list, KANBAN, Delivery and WM.
Pl. refer help.sap.com for detailed information.

Stock ledger group

hi all,
Can you please let me know on what basis Stock ledger group is assigned to material document.
I can see the Stock ledger group assigned to amt doc in the table - l/BEV2/EDMSE.
But from where it is assigned and on what basis ?
Regards,
Chandan

Hi,
During document selection, the system processes and evaluates each material document item. The system uses the following step to select the documents:
The system assigns the material document items to the relevant tax type.
· The system assigns the material document items to a stock ledger group.
You can modify the assignment to a stock ledger group for specific customers. To do this you use reference stock ledger groups. You can also replace stock ledger groups (Customizing table Replace Stock Leger Groups).
Basis for the assignment of stock ledger group to material document:
Based on the data from the order/goods issue, purchase order/goods receipt, material, storage locations, and other movement data, the system assigns the material document to a stock ledger division u2013 and a stock ledger sub-division if necessary u2013 and to a stock ledger group. The previously determined ED movement category ascertains the analysis method.
The system assigns reversal postings and original movements to the same stock ledger group. The quantity is simply entered with a different +/- sign than the original movement. For more clarity please follow below link. I hope this will resolve your issue. Thanking you.

Stock determination in Batch determination.

Hi Freinds,
Scenario is as follows:
Batch determination is already active with FIFO logic. There are 2 types of stock ( Own unrestricted and consignment)with batches in same storage location.
If I maintain stock determination rule as 'consignment' in Component material master then only consignment batches are pulled in production order component overview while Order release.
If i dont maintain stock determination rule then batch determination is done with FIFO logic and accordingly batches are pulled in correctly but then if the batch is from consignment stock, there is no Special stock indicator 'K' in the component overview against the consignment batch.
Is there any way I could pull in the special stock indicator keeping the FIFO logic same in batch determination.
Please note that batches are already pulled on FIFO logic and requirement is to bring in the special stock indicator K if batch is from consignment stock. I dont want any particular stock type to be given priority since batches are pulled on FIFO base irrespective of stock types.
Can we fulfill this requirement ?
Any inputs would be highy appreciated.
Thanks in Advance
Shailesh Nadkarni.

I have only worked on a scenario where there needs to be priority assigned based on stock type first followed by batch, but not this one so the below is not from exp. but just a suggestion.
Add a characteristic to your batch determination procedure being used for production orders for stock type. With that in place, check if you can get the stock type passed to the order as per your need.
Give it a try n let me know if it works, meanwhile if there is anything else which comes to my mind will post in here.

Stock determination - Outbound del ag Sales order-More than one Cong vendor

HI All
I have Stock determination setup for IM and WM location to withdraw stock from consignment and the company's own stock. I have materials,with serialized and batch with all possible combination. When i deal with a material which is not batch managed and non serialized in IM level and i have more than one consignment vendor( i have the outbound delivery created against a sales order). I do the PGI with confirming the picked quantity, i dont have control from which vendor consignment, stock has to be shipped for that delivery. Could anybody please let me know is there a way i can enter the consignment vendor number before PGI?
Thanks
Terry.

This is a known issue, the system doesnt allow stock to have two special stock statuses at the same time.
Your concern of having to make multiple storage locations is valid (since this is a configuration).
I suggest you do the following
- Configure a warehouse and a single storage type (say 001). Allow mixing of materials in a single bin
- Assign this warehouse to a new storage location.
- Create a bin for every sales order number in the warehouse.
- When goods are moved to subcontractor, perform a transfer posting to the storage location, and perform a putaway to the respective bin. The putaway strategy can be tweaked using a user exit to go to the relevant bin. This way you do not have to enter the WM transaction for putaway.
- To consume the stocks, you can use 231E movement (MB1A). On the WM side, the picking strategy can be enhanced so that the picking TO is generated with the correct source bin. Make sure the GL account and CO objects are as per FICO requirements.
This way you can track the stocks binwise (bin level reports are available in WM), perform physical inventory and also consume the stocks from the relevant bin automatically.
We had faced the same situation, and we ended up not having sales order stock at all.
Hope this helps.

How to handle Automatic stock determination in Program

Dear All,
I have devaloped a report which will display the list of Production order based on sale order and its Items given in the selection screen in a pop-up to select output.Here when i check the production order it ll generate Goods Issue for the production order using 'BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE' (Bapi for t-code MB11) here how i can handle automatic stock determination if stock is not available in Storage location.
any idea about FM bf_stock_determination and how to use it, sample codes and any other ways to handle it.Because in Migo there is a Automatic stock determination icon which will fitch the material fron different storage location.

Arun.

Two consignment vendors during stock determination

Hi all.
Under customizing related to stock determination I included to have prirority own stock over consignment (for both MM and WM).
My question is how is the stock determination performed in consigment when there is stock of two different vendors for the same part?
I read in Help-SAP that stock determination is applied first in MM and then the system forwards this data to WM (WM stock determination int his case is not possible). There is no sort for prices, nor quantity.
In my particular case, I have two steps for production process (REM); in this case no own stocks exists but consingment for two vendors:
1. In MF60 (movment 319) TRs are created (and then TOs) to move materials into 100 storage type. When 2 different vendors are managed I thought that the system would transfer the older quant but when both stocks are in the same storage bin with the same GR date I don´t understand exactly the stock determination made.
2. MFBF is performed to consume all components (movement 261K); here stock determination is executed again first in MM but I don´t know exactly how the system chooses the vendor
Could it be the criteria different in the first step rather than the second one, so I move physically stock from one vendor but informatically consumed the other one? is there a way to avoid this?
Any clarification will be wellcomed!!!

1) Please read OSS note 365570.
For instance:
- WM dominates
Warehouse Management System WMS picks the necessary quantities independently of the stock category of the materials and only takes the picking strategy into account that is defined in the WMS here (for example, FIFO).
2)
In the stock determination header table you define the priorities of:
- item table (V_T434K-RAPOS)
- price (V_T434K-RAVAL)
- quantity (V_T434K-RAQUA)
Based on these priorities the system will determine a number for each relevant stock item and then sort the internal table (check include: LMDBFFS0).
Additionally you can use user exit EXIT_SAPLMDBF_002 (XMBF0001) to influence the sort sequence.
So, the vendor id itself has no importence in standrard system from stock determination point of view.

I have set up complete customizing for stock determination .
In Old transactions it works fine when I give * in storage location .
However in MIGO the yellow box for stock determination is grayed out ???
How can I enable MIGO to perform stock determination ?
Material is non-batch managed ..

Shashank

Thanks for reply !
I got the issue ...
Actually in MIGO when I was trying to post the storage location was defaulted . In this case stock determination will not work
So I have removed storage location and then I got the yellow button visible
