2-how can we enter juste the pysical inventory counts (MI04) just for the material who the reel stock is different with the thorique stock (in the systeme) , because some time we put the same values , and we should put Zero for some materials who we now that there is no stock.

Hi Esperado9,
In MI01 there's a thick box: 'Posting block'. If you put a thick in it the material will be blocked.
(In MI02 you can remove this thick and then you can enter the inventory count for that material in different storage location.)

Physical Inventory Freezed - Urgent Customer Order

Hi Gurus,
While performing physical Inventory, all my Org/Sub Inventory has been freezed.
Same time my regular, important export customer requested sales order for few items, needs to ship items urgently?
How to perform transactions in the system, if Org is freezed.
I have advised the client to do offline transaction and perform the transaction once Org is unfreeze but client has to export items to other country, all documents BOL, Commercial invoice all are compulsory.
Please advise the best solution to achieve this scenario.
Regards
Chini

what you described is not subject to customer material inforecord.
Your scenario can be met with material determination. This can be maintained in VB11.
When you enter material number 536 in sales order, SAP automatically finds 235. where your inventory is managed.
But if 536 is your customers material number, then you can maintain this as info in the customer material inforecord, and it will print in your sales order. But you then will never enter 536 in the sales order, you will always enter 235 in the sales order. You can just use the F4 search help to search for your 235 by specifying 536 in the matchcode (material to customer)

Physical inventory : some questions .

hi
i have a company contain 50 stores ((24/7)) . i have some questions about physical inventory :
1- how i know the articles that have not been inventoried yet by merchandise categories and the report quntain the quantity?
2- if i applay 2 physical inventory process at the same year , how i can determain the articles not been inventoried at the second time ?
3- is there any report to know the difference by quantity and sales price ?
thank u

Hi There,
From table MARD for the article please check the field KZILL - here you can see if you carried out a PI count for the same in the fiscal year or have yet to carry out a PI in this year.
Physical inventory indicator for whse stock in current year
Records the physical inventory status of the respective stock. The following statuses are possible:
If the physical inventory still has to be taken in the current year:
Physical inventory still has to be taken: _ _ _
Physical inventory still has to be completed: _ X _
Posting block is set in active document: X X _
If the physical inventory has already been taken in the current year:
Physical inventory has been taken: _ _ X
Physical inventory is active again: _ X X
Posting block is set in active document: X X X
From tcode MI22 - you can see any PI documents created for the article. 'Active' means that they are still open - not fully Counted/Difference Posted.
I hope this helps,
Elaine.

Urgent: regarding physical inventory report display

hi,
i had made a report in which i have to display the physical inventory report details in which details about the material is to be given.
I want to check the details which are present in the tcode MI07 . Can anybody tell me any tcode in which i can see the details of mi07 tcode(including the reason of it).

Greetings,
It might shed some light to read about the display in your portable computer: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LCD
LCDs are primarily plastic panels with various layers inside. Pressure applied to those panels can cause them to crack, leaking the liquid crystal components about. Pressure could be heavy books in a bag pushing against the screen, heavy cat sitting on a closed lid, dog, other animal, someone slamming the lid, child running through the room, etc. This applies to any LCD whether it be in a computer or in a Television (don't press too hard on your TV screen!!).
Displays don't exhibit the type of damage you indicate by themselves. A single pixel might go dead in an LCD but zig zag lines indicates cracking of the layers inside the panels themselves. Something from the outside world made an impact on the display resulting in the damage you see. You may not have been the one pressing hard on it and you may not have seen it happen, but something happened.
The 1 year limited warranty and AppleCare protection plan offer coverage for component failures, not damage.
Coverage for damage would be provided by something along the lines of insurances (home owners, renters, etc.) If you purchased this computer with a Credit Card you may wish to contact your Credit Card company. Many cards have included insurance for purchases you make so even if an item is damage during your use of it, they will cover it.
Best of luck.

Physical inventory 4.6c & Ecc 6.0(urgent)

Hi all
We are in to 4.6 c and planned to move to Ecc 6.0 in few months. I have a situation like to do the physical inventory of the warehouse but my thoughts would be to do it after the upgrade as we'll have additional features in ECC6.0 for counting.
Do anybody know how ECC 6.0 helps than 4.6C,what will be the advantages to justify it.
please drop whatever suggestions u have, iam sure that will help a lot or direct me to proper docs plz.
Thank you all.

Hi Terry,
are you talking about IM or WM inventory ?
If I remember correctly WM Dynamic Cycle Count (DCC) was introduced from version 4.7 and, as Sap states
"<i>DCC enhances the previous inventory counting functionality by enabling you to count physical inventory at storage bin and quant level during the performance of normal warehouse operations, and allowing the creation of inventory documents when open transfer orders (unconfirmed picks and putaways) exist for a bin. This ensures continued warehouse operations and facilitates cycle counts during peak activity periods</i>".
Is this what are you looking for ?
Best regards,
Enrico

PHYSICAL INVENTORY.Urgent.

Hi experts

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 companys 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 documetion 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 spcial stock
MIK1 - Vendor consignment
MIQ1 - Project stock
MIM1 - Returnable Transporation 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 doucmen 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 sytem, difference analysis can be carried out using trasnaction 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.

Physical Inventory SAPscript form printing.

Hi Friends,
we have developed a SApscript form and print program for physical inventory documnet . and we r using z transaction code to run this..
now the requiremnt is . the same form and print program need to be called when they run the transactions MI03, or MI01 or MI02.
it seems to be there are no Output types related to physical inventory.
Could any one of you guide me how to do assign this custom form and program to these transactions.
Its bit urgent.
thanks in advance.
Jeyaseelan.G

Dear all,
I think I've got the answer (even though it is 3 years after question was posted).
Let me re-cap the problem:
1) A set of SAPscript form and print program (beginning with 'Z') for physical inventory document are developed
2) This set of SAPscript form and print program produce similar printout as that in T-code: MI03, or MI01 or MI02
3) The SAPscript form is copied from "INVENT" or "INVENT_VKBW" and the print program is copied from "RM07IDRU" or "RWWVINVB"
4) However, there is no output types available for configuration for user to print physical inventory document using this new set of SAPscript form and print program
Am I correct ?
The re-solution is: Maintain the output types entries (program, form) in table "T159N"
1) T-code: MI01 , MI02, MI04 will call T-code: MI21 when user selects to print physical inventory document
2) T-code: MI21 will call print program "RM07IDRU" (this is maintained in T-code SE93)
3) Program RM07IDRU" will call SAPscript "INVENT" or "INVENT_VKBW" (this is maintained in table "T159N")
Hence, if you develop new sets of SAPscript form and print program (by copying from "INVENT" or "INVENT_VKBW" / "RM07IDRU" or "RWWVINVB"), try table "T159N".

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.

Physical Inventory Status Flag Not Reset after Year End Inventory Procedure

Hi,
We are just done with the Year End Inventory Procedures, and to my surprise, a lot of Storage Bins are having their Physical Inventory status flag as ACTIVE, which they should not have.
An example bin has incorrect status-u201Ccountedu201D in the associated inventory record number . LINV status is L-cleared. LINK status is Z-counted, LINP status is Z-counted and physical inventory flag is ON in table LAGP, but status must be L-cleared and physical inventory flag should be OFF (or blank) in table LAGP.
Our users did not use LI20 to clear the empty bins or bins had no difference to post (meaning book qty & count qty are the same).
I already tried the Program RLREOLPQ and OSS Note 824904, but no its of no use in our Case.
Any guess/hint for the problem?

I solved this with thehelp of a Zprogram writeen wrt the OSS note mentioned above in the question.

Physical Inventory by Area

I have a simple business scenario that for physical inventory counting. Raw Materials are store in 1 storage location. They are required to count them 1 time a month. The warehouse personnel split up the storage location into 4 areas (lanes) and count each area once a week. The question I have is:
1) Without creating additional storage locations, is there a way to create the physical inventory document by the 4 areas?
2) With the above solution, can I use MICN to auto-generate the PIDs for those 4 areas?

Hi,
Your requirement can be achieved by making use of 'Storage Bin' field in the material master, Plant data / Stor 1 tab. This is free text field and you can define your 4 lanes each a name and enter in the material masters.
(1) While creating physical inventory document through MI01, you can make use of 'Grouping type' - 02 Storage Bin.
(2) Yes, you can use MICN to create PID, as it has a selection parameter 'Storage bin description'.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Ramesh

Physical inventory, LX16 ,table update LQUA-IDATU

Hi Experts,
When execute LX16 for PI, is this process updates last inventory date at bin level or quant level table ?
After completing LX16 process, and continue to execute Cycle count in LICC , the same materials in which physical inventory were completed using LX16 are praposing for inventory?
Question : why is this even thou PI is completed in LX16, and again same materials were praposed for physical inventory in LICC ?
Is this a SAP standard behaviour?
How Can i avoid for not letting the LICC process to consider materials in which PI completed with LX16.

There is a customizing to define the default values for MI31 selection. But you only need to customize it if you want certain fields in MI31 differently proposed.
Just check in MI31 selection what is behind the button ACC to STOCK in the middle of the screen.
If the boxes for include already counted material / include already counted batches are empty, then it will not include counted materials into the next physical count.
