Tolerances for HU physical inventory differences

Tolerances customized in SPRO OMJ2 do not apply for HU physical inventory diferences generated by HUINV05 transaction.
We need to implement tolerances on HU (Handling Units) physical inventories. So thank you for any help on the subject.

LI20 is adjusting differences within WM. this has no effect to the stock value.
Only LI21 will adjust the differences with MM, and then the difference gets a valuation.
e.g. if you have material M with 200 more KG as book inventory in bin1 and 200 less in bin2 , then this will l equalize and you do not have any difference left, means no adjustment in MM necessary. this is what you do in LI20.
if you have 210 more in bin1 and 150 less in bin2, then after LI20 you still have 60 as difference. And this difference is then adjusted with MM using transaction LI21.

Physical Inventory Difference List

Hi SAP Gurus,
Is there any T-Code other than MI20 for getting Physical Inventory Difference List. We want Physical Inventory No. (IKPF-INVNU) and Physical Inventory Ref (IKPF-XBLNI) both in the list. But in MI20 only Physical inventory No. is visible.
Full Points if helped.

Select cost center for physical inventory difference posting

Hello,
While posting physical inventory differences (transactions MI07 or MI10) the choice of cost center is not offered. A default cost center is used by the system.
Is there a way to choose the cost center for inventory difference postings? This is useful considering we have several inventories managed by several business units with different cost centers.
Kind regards,
Sergei Volkov

this is from OSS note 13423:
Symptom
Key word: Inv acct assign
No account assignment can be entered when posting inventory
discrepancies.
Additional key words
MI07
Cause and prerequisites
This function is not implemented.
Solution
In Customizing an account assignment can be made for every inventory
adjustment account. To do this the inventory adjustment account must
first be defined as a cost element (Transaction KA01 / KA06):
Accounting -> Controlling -> Cost centers -> Master data -> Cost element
-> Create primary / secondary. Then an account assignment can be made
for the cost element (Transaction OKB9):
Tools -> Customizing -> Setup menu -> Accounting -> Controlling -> Cost
centers -> Actual postings -> Automatic account assignment.
If this account assignment is implemented every posting to the
particular inventory adjustment account will automatically receive the
appropriate account assignment.

List of Physical Inventory Differences

Hi,
I want the list of Physical Inventory Difference.
Means we want Book Qty, Count Qty & Diff. Qty against the Material. From which t.code we can find it.
Regards...

hi mate,
If you want to see the physical inventory differences for a particular material in a plant then go for tcode MI20, it would be convenient.
If you want to see the physical inventory differences across the company code for more than one plant under the company code and list of materials, then go for tcode MIDO.
In tcode MIDO, we have to give the company code, plant(s) that should be included, material type (if any) and the stock types for which you want to see the inventory differences.

Output type for HU physical inventory process

Hi All,
During a HU physical inventory process we print the physical inventory
document (the list) by transaction HUINV02.
The customer would like to make a few changes in the layout.
we didnt find the standard form and also not the output type.
is anybody know if there is a form or output type for this list?
Thanks,
Sharon.

Ok.
I think you need to create a new output type for this. Because even I did not find it anywhere in NACE.
Here is the print program: RM07IDRU.
As you already have the form name, you can create the output type.

PLSQL API for Voiding Physical Inventory Tags.

Hello,
We are trying to find a standard Oracle PLSQL API which will allow us to VOID Physical Inventory Tags from backend.
We have a requirement where we want to void specific tags and using the Oracle Std form is proving too cumbersome.

Arun

According to the oracle knowledgebase, there is no Public API. But there is an enhancement request that you might want to add your company to.

Tolerances for Physical Inventory Differences

Hi,
I have define my inventory limits but I have the problem that it always allow me to post
I have followed the instructions from the other threads and I have realized that in most of them they say things related to IM. I'm doing this with WM and my transaction to post differences is LI20.
Doesn't the error appear because those limits are only applicable on IM? If not, can anybody suggest any other solution?
Thanks.

LI20 is adjusting differences within WM. this has no effect to the stock value.
Only LI21 will adjust the differences with MM, and then the difference gets a valuation.
e.g. if you have material M with 200 more KG as book inventory in bin1 and 200 less in bin2 , then this will l equalize and you do not have any difference left, means no adjustment in MM necessary. this is what you do in LI20.
if you have 210 more in bin1 and 150 less in bin2, then after LI20 you still have 60 as difference. And this difference is then adjusted with MM using transaction LI21.

Physical Inventory-difference posting

Hi all,
Need to share your experience. Can we enter reason code while posting differencees for physical counting??
Regards,
Santosh

Hi
You can very well enter reason while posting Difference....Provided,If You have maintained the reason Code for the movement types in OLMB -
> Movement Types -
> Record Reason for Movement Types....
In fact, In Std. SAP....If your Physical Counting is lessor than the Book Counting....then the system will ask you to enter Reason for the movement....It is mandatory....
Reward if useful...

Multiple physical inventory document active for same material-storage locat

hi experts,
I am using transaction code MI31 for creating physical inventory document for all materials at a particular warehouse(storage location). User is selecting direct generation of of PI documents in the transaction. If by mistake he presses execute button more than once system is creating as many copies of physical inventory documents. As per ERP system logic it sound very wrong to have multiple physical inventory document active for same material-storage location ( no batches or special stocks exist ).
Is there a message number or some standard setting to prevent such occurrence.
regards
Avinash

Hi,
Syetem won't create again physical inventory document, if allready PI is active for the same part number, plant, storage location & batch/valuation type.
Check your PI documnets

Material blocked due to a physical inventory

Hello,
I have an issue.
I have done a stock take via MI01, MI21, MI04 and finally MI20!
When I afterwards create a delivery with one of that part that was counted it gives me an error message saying:
M7100 - Material xxx blocked due to a physical inventory
When I look into the inventory document it says: Counted, adjusted.
While debugging I found out that the process somewhere checks MARD-SPERR which is X for that part and therefore outputs messsage M7100! But X only indicates that posting block was set while physical inventory was done!
Does someone have an idea? Is there maybe a report to verify and correct inventory status?
Hope someone can help, cause I've counted a hundreds of parts which are now blocked.
Thanks for your reply.
Wolfgang

Hello Wolfgang,
If you enter the differences for your physical inventory documents against those materials, then the posting block check shall automatically go off and you can do the material movements.
First, you need to check whether you posted the differences for the respective physical inventory document.
If not you need to post the difference first as it may lead to data inconsistencies.
To remove the posting block go to MI02, enter the physical inventory document number and year, now go to Header and untick the posting block check box.
Posting block indicator
The indicator remains in the physical document header even if the stock is unblocked through the posting of inventory differences. It then only indicates that a posting block was set for the documents.
The blocking indicator can be set in one of two ways:
Directly upon entry of the physical inventory document (if the count is to take place immediately)
Shortly before the count (if the count is to take place later)
You can set the indicator by choosing Physical inventory document -> Change in the header data of the physical inventory document or via batch input.
Now you can create delivery for the materials.

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

Rajesh
