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

Inventory Management Cube 0ic_c03, 0StockType

In the Inventory Management Cube 0ic_c03 queries,I've found that 0StockType has descriptions that are misleading because of the way they are written in domain bstaus (R3 side), especially when seeing the key and SHORT description (truncated beyond meaning).
OK I can correct these by changing BStaus 's texts.
The main changes I'd do are for the Customer Consigment, Customer Return Packaging and Material Provided to Vendor descriptions.
But what does 0StockType 'blank' (or #) mean ?
(It seems to mean something like Valuated Stock Valuation and 'Not Defined' is not very good in a Query result)

Well, no one replied, but I got feedback from OSS. So just in case anyone is interested.....
I had to use r3 > se11 to change the domain descriptions myself.
Bstaus 'blank' I put as 'Valuation'
I also improved some of the Bsttyp descriptions whilst there

Queires on Non-Cumulative Inventory Management Cube 0IC_C03 Not Working

Hello all.
I am trying to use the 0IC_C03 Inventory Management cube with non-cumulative key figures. I followed the How to...Handle Inventory Management Scenarios in BW paper to a tee.
Steps I followed:
1. Ran initialization of beginning balance with 2LIS_03_BX
2. Ran the historical job with 2LIS_03_BF
3. Uploaded to BW the Initialization (BX) and compressed without setting the "No Marker Update" flag
4. Uploaded the historical movements (BF) and compressed setting the "No Marker Update" flag
Now, to this point, everything was fine. Quantities were as expected. Dollar values were as expected. The problem occurs once I load deltas:
5. Loaded delta for 2LIS_03_BF and compressed without setting the "No Marker Update" flag as instructed in the How To... paper
Query example:
MATERIALA:
Initial Stock Balance = 1000 EA
Delta had stock issue of 150 EA (so the stock balance should have decreased from 1000 to 850)
Now, I have the record in BW showing the stock issue of 150. However, the non-cumulative key figure within the query still shows 1000. And when I drill down by calendar day, I would expect the result to show 850, but it seems to add the 150 before taking it away resulting in 1000 which is actually the initial stock balance. It is like it is not recognizing the updates.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Brent

Hi!
Here is what helped in my case, very similar to your:
In DTP for 2lis_03_bx (not only in infopackage, as it is said in manual!) you have to change "Extraction Mode" parameter to "Initial Non-cumulative for Non-cumulative values"

Consignment Stock for Inventory Management

Posting as a new thread...
I have installed and loaded the Inventory Management Cube 0IC_03 in our development and quality systems. During testing we have found just one problem with Consignment Stock. The Stock Initialization (2LIS_03_BX) does not bring in an initial quantity (BWMNG) for any material flagged as a Consignment Stock (Stock Category = K, field BSTTYP).
My question - is there a good reason for this or is this a problem? It causes a problem with reporting, because balances are now off. Do I need to change how reporting is done for Consignment?
It seems to me that the BX extractor should be picking up the initial balance. I am trying to debug the code, but am getting a headache!
Any help would be appreciated!
Yes, I have reviewed the "How To..." documentation, but don't see anything regarding consignment stock.
We are at BW 3.0b Support Pack 25.
Lisa.

Thanks, Ken. I don't know that this note actually helped me, but I did another review of OSS notes. We have applied 3 of them (726485, 756151, 762219) and our consignment issue has been resolved.
Thanks for pointing me back in the right direction!

Missing content for inventory management (cube 0IC_C03)

Hi everybody,
I installed the following BI content for inventory management: Cube 0IC_C03, InfoSource 2LIS_03_BX and transfer rules from data source 2LIS_03_BX to info source 2LIS_03_BX. However, I'm not able to the update rule from info source 2LIS_03_BX to info cube 0IC_C03. I can only find the old update rule 0IC_C032LIS_40_S278 -> 0IC_C03.
I also couldn't find the update rule for material movements from 2LIS_03_BF to infocube 0IC_C03.
How can I find this missing content. We are using BI Content Release 704 Level 1.
Thanks for your help!

Hi Oscar,
unfortunately, I was not able to find a transformation for the datasource migrated to 7.0.
Btw, how do I determine to which version data sources are replicated. I have an underlying ECC6.0 system. When I replicate all data sources for that source system, datasources automatically show up as 7.0. I'm missing the pop-up question whether or not I want to replicate as 3.5 or 7.0.
Thanks in advance!

About archiving BW Inventory Management cubes

Hi everyone!
I would like to know what a marker in Inventory Management (BW) is. This question comes from the following: I need to archive a IM cube, and it presents the following option:
Stocks:
Only transactions
Transactions and Markers
I don't know what a marker is, so I'm kinda lost here...
Any help would be greatly appreciated (and rewarded, ofc!).
Best Regards,
Luís.

Hi,
Marker is fairly simple, you will get the details also on help.sap.com with more detailed explanation.
In a brief here is what i can tell you :
1. The marker is set on a specific date and the value of the inventory KF( NON CUMULATIVE KF) the value on that particular date is stored in the cube.
2. Since Inventory is working on the non cumulative method the difference is calculated since DAY 1. but with Marker the difference is calculated from the day of marker.
Hence it helps in retrieving faster results.
Let me know if you want more information.
Regards,
Den

Movement Type in Inventory Management Cube

Hello Guys,
I am new to the area of Invenotry Management. I have seen the How to Guide and blogs by Surendra for Inventory Management scenarios.
One of initial doubt is that the cube 0IC_C03 does not have Movement Type. As per the blog, we can define transaction keys in BW but how do I pull it in my Cube. Is ehnacing the extract strcuture BF the only option? If yes, what logic do we follow to add movement type to BF?
Also as per SAP Note, we cannot enhance BX to include movement type. So would it create a problem if BX does not have a movement type and BF has?
Looking forward to solutions
Thanks n Regards,
Abhishek

Dear John
The movement type has important control functions in Inventory Management.
For example, the movement type plays an important role in
=> updating of quantity fields
=> updating of stock and consumption accounts
=> determining which fields are displayed during entry of a document in the system

How to get average stock in the inventory management cube?

Dear all,
I need to get average stock for a month.
For example: stock on May 1st is 30kg, stock on May 2nd is 20kg,etc. I need to add these everyday stock together and divided by the days of the month.
Now I have a non-cumulative key figure with inflow and outflow for stock. Is any way I can do this without bringing very bad performance?

Good Issue and Good Receive in Inventory Management

Hi everybody,
I have a problem to set initial stock in inventory management, because the result between BW and R/3 are not the same.
I use ZLIS_40_S278 and use some routine to calculate total good issue and good receive based on movement type.
Before that our users already define all movement type belongs to good issue and good receive.
Basically how we can get good issue and good receive value?
Regards,
Steph.

Hi Steph
Use the following key figures
0ISSBLOSTCK - Issue quantity: blocked stock
0ISSCNSSTCK - Quantity Issued from Consignment Stock
0ISSQMSTCK - Issue quantity: stock in quality inspection
0ISSTRANSST - Issue Quantity: Stock in Transit
0ISSTOTSTCK - Issue Quantity Total Stock
0ISSVALSTCK - Quantity Issued from Valuated Stock
0RECBLOSTCK - Receipt Quantity: Blocked Stock
0RECCNSSTCK - Quantity Received into Consignment Stock
0RECQMSTCK - Receipt Quantity: Stock in Quality Inspection
0RECTRANSST - Receipt Quantity: Stock in Transit
0RECTOTSTCK - Receipt Quantity Total Stock
0RECVALSTCK - Quantity Received into Valuated Stock
Thanks.

Inventory Management 0IC_C03: Beginning and ending inventory

Hi Gurus
My report is based on Inventory Management cube and I have a requirement where in I need to show Begining Inventory and Ending Inventory for Plant per Period.
There is no KF for Beginning Invin SAP standard model in inventory management cube (0IC_C03 cube), so I thought to restricting total quantity by Fiscal period and Offset by minus one to get begining inventory.
Here is my report layout:
I have got : Period , Plant in rows and Beginning and ending inventory in Columns.
Desired Output:
Fiscal Period | Plant | | Begining Inventory | Ending Inventory.
03/2009        | 1001 |    100                       | 50
Actual Report output
Fiscal Period | Plant | | Begining Inventory | Ending Inventory.
02/2009        | 1001 |                 100          |
03/2009        | 1001 |                                | 50
So basically report is being split on two lines for current and previous (due to restriction in begining period : Offset =-1 on period).
Question is how to achieve both begining and ending inventory for a period in same line.
Thanks in avdance for help and time
SA

HI Naveen
Thanks for the reply. Non *** KF are already being used and Standard SAP model is being followed. Problem is not with back end but with frontend. Data coming on the report is fine but problem is how to show them on same line. Remember Beginning inventory for current open is ending inventory for previous month and in SAP content there is no KF called as begining inventory. Basically data from two consecutive periods (current and previous one) needs to be on same row of report, but they are coming on different rows if we have period in drilldown by period. this makes sense but how to overcome this.
This, We have all the correct data but facing issue while displaying that on frontend.
Thanks

1.Total Warehouse Inventory Value
2.Warehouse Inventory Turnover
For a custom made inventory management Cube Based on 0IC_C03.
Please help me,as it is very urgent.

Hi,
Have you tried using constant selection for the value using the value at plant level.
I'm not sure this will be the solution, but maybe you can try it.
Hope this helps.

Snap shot in inventory management

Is it recommended to use the snap shot scenario in Inventory management cube 0ic_c03?
If yes can you please tell me the procedure to finish the process or creating it?
I have already loaded the data in to the cube from the Data sources 2LIS_03_BX AND 2LIS_03_BF.
thanks,
Naveen

Inventory Management: Valuated Stock Value

Hello Experts -
We're using inventory management. We're just bringing in 2lis_03_bf which is the material movements and the standard price datasource.
The plant valuated stock quantity and the valuated stock value are fine. The SLOC valuated stock quantity is fine. We're using the non-cumulative key figures for the valuated stock quantity and the valuated stock value. The SLOC valuated stock value isn't correct. So I just created a calculated key figure where I'm multiplying the quantity with the standard price.
This works fine but when I look at the plant level and use this CKF, the aggregation threw me off. So I changed the aggregation on CKF at the Bex level.
This works fine in dev and qa where I don't have too much of data. But as soon as I'm in in production, the query times out and gives me an error saying I reached the buffer limit.
I was thinking of calculating the valuated stock value at the ETL layer but now I'm thinking that if I do that and the price of a material changes, I'll again have the same problem. I can't re-load every time a material price changes.
Can someone please help me with this scenario?
Thanks!

do not offer points, it is against the rules

Hi Syed,
Deriving values by multipling with price also not correct. results will not match with R/3.
Value Calculation
In principle, values are updated with Plant, Material, and Stock Category only. Quantities are updated with these characteristics, as well as with Storage Location, Batch Number, and Stock Characteristic
Check SAP Note 589024: Evaluations in BW with the Characteristics Storage Location and Stck Char.).
Hope it Helps

Inventory Management Extractors via DSO to Cube 0IC_C03

Dear experts,
to fulfill the requirements of DataWarehouse spirit using Entry-, Harmonization- and Reporting-Layer I want to use for Inventory Management a Data Flow from extractors 2LIS_03_BX, 2LIS_03_BF and 2LIS_03_UM via DSO/DSOs and later on to Cube 0IC_C03.
In this forum there are some opened threads about this issue, but none has been resolved! Many hints are about the "How to Inventory Management..." - some other say: "You can use DSO's!" - others say: "Don't use DSOs!". So: Where is the truth? Is there anybody who can provide a really praticable way to implement the above mentioned data flow?
I'm so excited about your suggestions and answers.
Thanks in advance and regards
Patrick
--> Data Flow has to be in BW 7.0

Hi Patrick,
Yes indeed there is.
Using DSOs in inventory flow is absolutely possible. Here's what you need to know and do:
1 - Firstly don't be apprehensive about it. Knowledge is power! We know that inventory uses ABR delta update methodology and that is supported by DSOs so no doubt abt it.
2 - Secondly Inventory is special because of non-cumulative and several rule group at cube level for BX and BF.
3 - Now as you want to use a DSO and I am presuming that this will be used for staging purpose, use a write optimized DSO as the first layer. While mapping from DS to this DSO, keep one to one mapping from field to Info-objects.
4- Keep in mind that from Infosource to 0IC_C03 there would be multiple rule groups present in transformations.
These rule groups will have different KPIs mapped with routines. The purpose is that from ECC only 1 field for quantity (BWMNG) and one field for value (BWGEO) is coming but from Infosource to 0IC_C03 the same fields in different rule groups are mapped to different KPIs (Stock in transit, vendor consignment, valuated stock etc) based on stock category, stock type and BW transaction keys.
5- So create a write optimized DSO. map it one to one from datasource fields. create/copy transformations from this DSO to cube maintaining the same rule groups and same logic.
6- you can also use standard DSO and create rule groups and logic at DSO level and then do one to one from DSO to Cube.
Keep in mind that these rule groups and logic in them should be precisely the same as in standard flow.
This should work.
