Warehouse Management Cycle Counting Method

Dear All
I am new to WM and would like to carry out Physical Inventory in Warehouse.
However if I use transaction like LI01N I have to create a Physical Inventory Document for the entire Bin.I want to create Physical Inventory Document only for few materials and not for the entire Bin.
In that scenario I have to use Cycle Couting method ie LX26 for certain materials however in that case n physical Inventory Doc is created.
Can anybody let me know regarding?
1.Is there any way that I do not use Cycle Counting method and still create Inv Doc not for Bin but for selected materials.
2.If I have to use cycle couting what steps I am missing,I have already set the cycle counting Indicator in material master but still when I execute LX26 and go to list and create Physical Inv Doc the system is not creating any document.
Regards

so when you say you already did the below steps, then it means you added the indicator in the material master and the CC entry is also updated in the transation OMNK. So that's why when you execute the LX26, you see some entries.
In LX26, when you select the item and trying to click the Activate Documents, what does the log message says. It should say either open transfer order exists or bin blocked or anything.
Even you can try LICC to create inventory document by quant, if you have multiple quant in that bin.
2.If I have to use cycle couting what steps I am missing,I have already set the cycle counting Indicator in material master but still when I execute LX26 and go to list and create Physical Inv Doc the system is not creating any document.

    Hi All ,
    I am trying to create an inventory record for cycle counting  in transaction LICC. But it is not allowing me to do so and giving error as "Maintain number range interval "01" for inventory" . Can anybody tel me the SPRO path OR tcode where i need to maintain this number range . I have already maintained all number ranges for WM .

  • Execute Inventory with Cycle-Counting Method and by Quants

    Hi Gurus,
    I would like to Implement the Inventory by quant on WM.
    This is because I would like to Inventory only 1 material per Bin.
    I found transaction LICC, but when I try to activate the Document an error message say that the Inventory Document Range (LVS_IVNUM) does not exist.
    How can I create this range? Have you got a manual for this implementation?
    Another Question: the Inventory count is allready implemented and there is still a range of Inventory Documents created and managed by LI01N, LX26..the Cycle Counting by quants can interferate with the one allready implemented?
    Thanks & Regards,
    Simone

    Hi,
    For the LICC issue I had same problem. Direct in production you need to maintain number ranges in LN05 for your warehouse.
    Thanks.

  • Warehouse Management - physical inventory

    Hi All,
    Can any body pleasae provide me the entire process of physical inventory count at Wm level.
    Thanks
    Sunny.

    Hi Sunny,
    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, 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.
    Hope it helps!

  • Report to check "Book Qty & Counted Qty" in Warehouse Management

    Hi All,
    In MI24, I can see "Book Qty & Counted Qty" in Inventory Management.
    But, Is there any report to check "Book Qty & Counted Qty" in Warehouse Management.
    If any report is there, let me know the T-Code.
    Regards
    Siva

    if you know the inventory record and the warehouse number, you can fetch the information from table LINV. Input warehouse and inventory record. The fields GESMA and MENGE/MENGA give the book quantity and counted quantity respectively.

  • Cycle Counting - Must done by the Interval?

    Hi,
    We've implemented warehouse management , and we have set  "Monthly" for cycle counting indicator "A", that mean, we should perform stocktaking for the materials with indicator "A".
    My question is, if we don't execute the transaction LS26 for some monthlys,
    For example, we did not perform any stocktaking in Jan, Feb, March..., we just start stocktaking and run tcode LX26  from June, no any cycle counting related tcodes ran before June, what will happen within Feb, Jan and March, ? or that does not matter?
    Regards

    it does not matter.
    from a legal point of view you have to count the materials just once a year.
    if you choose cycle counting as inventory method, then you want count more often for better inventory accuracy.
    If you finally dont do that........then it just violates your own rules.

    Hi
    Is Cycle counting inventory process used only in Warehouse Management ?

    Hi There
    Ref the below link for the Detail config process,,
    http://help.sap.com/printdocu/core/Print46c/en/data/pdf/MMIM/MMIM.pdf
    In Transaction Mi01,  if you create the PI document, you have to enter the material one by one or you have to copy from the list of material and paste it to create the PI, it is burden for the user,,
    In MICN, based on the last count or to be counted materials automatically picked for the PI doc creation, thats the reason we have t code MICN.
    Hope it clears

  • Serial Numbers in Inventory Management – Warehouse Managed storage location

    Serial Numbers in Inventory Management u2013 Warehouse managed storage locations
    We want to run inventory cycle at the warehouse for materials. These materials are u2018serial numberedu2019 in the material master. During the initial entry (say GR) of the materials, systems prompt for the serial numbers. At this point, system offers option of assignments of serial numbers automatically.
    While running an inventory cycle for warehouse u2013 and posting difference at WM level (LI01), system is throwing error as u201Cmaintain serial number for totol quantityu201D. System does not promt me to enter the serial number for the materials (count) which are found excess/shortage duing the inventory cycle.
    Is there any configuration where this scenario can be managed; system should prompt us to enter serial number while posting differenes at WM level (LI20).
    The inventory cycle is -
    1.     Create Physical Inventory Documents - LI01N
    2.     Activate Physical Inventory Document -      LI02N
    3.     Enter Count -     LI11N
    4.     Post Differences at WM level -     LI20
    5.     Post Differences at IM level(If Differences are posted at WM ) -     LI21

    Curious to know: The WM Inventory transaction - LI11N - (where we enter physical count. )
    1. Compared to MI04 - IM Inventory Transaction: where a pop-up window asks for serial number of the material.
    2. We expect a similar pop-up at LI11N transaction- where the system should ask serial numbers.
    Q.1 How can we achieve this?
    Q.2 Will this be a standard SAP practice?  (if we do customizing to get serial nos. pop-up window at LI11N)
    thanks,

  • Decentralize warehouse management

    Dear Friends,
    This is the question related to warehouse management system.
    My requirement is that we are going to set decentralize management. Presently we are having CWM in our present system. At another place there is local ERP , we want to replace it and need to go for decentralise WM there.
    Then this decentralised WMS and my present WM willl communicate with each other.
    Could you please let me know what will be it process ? Transaction cycles ? and its configuration?
    Regrads,
    Mahesh

    Dear All ,
    I got some information I am sharing with you and closing this ticket.
    1) Process :
    rocesses Between the SAP System as ERP System and as WM System
    Purpose  The variant for the SAP System as an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system and as a Warehouse Management (WM) system describes the link-up of an external warehouse management system to an SAP System. The stand-alone system that executes all warehouse management functions is an SAP System.  Prerequisites  Two systems are involved in this scenario. The first system is an ERP system that performs inventory management, purchasing and sales tasks and distributes existing master data and movement data to the Warehouse Management system (WMS). The second system is a WMS that performs warehouse management tasks such as putaway/picking and goods receipt/goods issue and is responsible for carrying out the physical material transfers.  Process and Data Flow    General inventory postings:  If the decentralized scenario is used, inventory postings are not directly processed in Inventory Management (IM). If a goods movement is created in IM, the system generates inbound or outbound deliveries and distributes them to the WMS. In the WMS, the goods are put away or picked based on the existing delivery. As a result of the goods movement posting in the WMS delivery, the system sends the completion verification to the ERP system and then uses the delivery to post the actual goods receipt or goods issue in inventory management. Deliveries with a purchase order or a sales order as a source document are handled in the same way.    Goods receipts based on purchase orders:  You use the ERP system to create purchase orders and send them to the vendors. To give notification of the delivery that is due, the vendor returns a shipping notification that is recorded in the ERP system as an inbound delivery. The inbound delivery is distributed to the WMS using a Business Application Programming Interface (BAPI). In the WM system, the inbound delivery is a request to put away or pick goods. When the vendor physically delivers the goods, a transfer order is generated in the WMS which is used to place the goods into stock. After the transfer order is confirmed, goods receipt is posted for the inbound delivery. This clears the interim storage bin. As a result, the completion confirmation is sent to the ERP system and the goods receipt is processed in inventory management.  An inbound delivery based on a purchase order can be created in different ways, depending on the confirmation control key in purchasing. If the vendor usually sends a shipping notification, the inbound delivery is created when the shipping notification is recorded in the system. In all other cases, you have the option of creating inbound deliveries automatically using collective processing.    Process for goods receipts based on a purchase order:  Creating the purchase order in the ERP system  Generating the inbound delivery (automatically/manually)  Distributing the inbound delivery from the ERP system to the WM system using BAPI method "InboundDelivery.SaveReplica" (this process is automatically executed in the background)  Physically receiving the goods into the warehouse (WMS)  Creating the transfer order  Putting the goods away  Confirming the transfer order  Posting goods receipt for the inbound delivery (as a result, a completion verification is sent to the ERP system using BAPI method "InboundDelivery.ConfirmDecentral")  Goods receipt for the inbound delivery is automatically posted in the ERP system (in inventory management) when the verification is recorded.    Quality management in decentralized WMS using handling units (HUs)  Quality management is also available in the goods receipt process in the decentralized warehouse. In this scenario, the quality management function is in the central system.  If there are handling units in the inbound delivery for which an inspection lot has been created, the inspection lot number is copied into the decentralized WMS and stored in the quants there.  The inspection lot does not exist in the decentralized system. You make the usage decision for the inspection lot in the central system, which triggers the system to create a posting change delivery and distribute it to the decentralized system. Then, the stock that belongs to this inspection lot is found in the warehouse and the corresponding posting change is made. From this point on, the procedure is the same as that of a posting change (see below).      Other goods receipts:    All other goods receipts are recorded in the ERP system. When the document is saved, the system creates an inbound delivery and sends it to the WM system using a BAPI. The inbound delivery is then processed in the WM system as described above. When the verification for the inbound delivery is sent to the ERP system, the goods receipt posting is automatically initiated in inventory management.    Stock transfers:    A stock transfer usually involves two storage locations (plants): the issuing storage location for picking and the receiving storage location for putaway. If the stock transfer is recorded in the ERP system as a two-step procedure and if one of the storage locations involved is a WMS-relevant storage location, the system creates a delivery for this posting and sends it to the WMS. Both storage locations involved are copied into the delivery to allow the actual posting to be executed after the verification is received from the WMS.  One-step stock transfers using a WMS-relevant storage location are only possible if a storage location that is not WM-relevant is involved in the posting change.    Process for stock transfers:  Entering the goods movement in the system  Automatically creating the delivery  Distributing the delivery from the ERP system to the WM system using BAPI method "InboundDelivery.SaveReplica" (this process is automatically executed in the background)  Physically receiving the goods into the warehouse or removing the goods from the warehouse (WMS).  Creating the transfer order  Putting away or picking the goods  Confirming the transfer order  Posting goods receipt for the inbound delivery (as a result, a completion verification is sent to the ERP system using BAPI method "InboundDelivery.ConfirmDecentral") or posting goods issue for the outbound delivery (as a result, a completion verification is sent to the ERP system using BAPI method "OutboundDelivery.ConfirmDecentral").  Goods receipt for the inbound delivery or goods issue for the outbound delivery is automatically posted in the ERP system (in inventory management) when the verification is recorded. When the goods receipt or goods issue is posted in the ERP system, the stock transfer is simultaneously posted in inventory management.    Goods issues based on sales orders:  The system uses sales orders to generate deliveries in the ERP system. The deliveries are then sent to the WMS. You use the WMS to create the transfer order, pick the goods and confirm the transfer order. When goods issue is posted, the picking quantities are passed on to the delivery of the ERP system.    Process for goods issues based on deliveries:  Creating the sales order  Creating the outbound delivery  Distributing the delivery to the WMS  Creating the transfer order for outbound delivery  Physically picking the goods in the warehouse  Confirming the transfer order  Printing the shipping documents, if appropriate  Posting goods issue for the outbound delivery (as a result, a completion verification is sent to the ERP system using BAPI method "OutboundDelivery.ConfirmDecentral")  Goods issue for the outbound delivery is automatically posted in the ERP system (in inventory management) when the completion confirmation is recorded.    Posting changes  You can also initiate transfer postings in the central system, in which case the stock change will be compared with the stock in the decentralized system and adjusted, if necessary.  If you use inventory management to make posting changes in the central system, the system first generates a delivery. This delivery is technically a request for the decentralized system to make a transfer posting for the stock involved. The central system does not create material documents or make any changes in stock at this point.  The delivery is transmitted to the decentralized system and, as of this point, can only be changed there. You can make settings in the decentralized system so that the system automatically creates a transfer order that corresponds to this delivery that does not require confirmation. You can also set the system to make the appropriate transfer posting in the WM stock automatically at the end of the process.  The transfer posting in the decentralized system simultaneously verifies the appropriate quantities to the central system. When the central system receives this verification, it automatically makes the stock change and creates a material document. You can display the material document in the delivery’s document flow.    Production supply  If the decentralized warehouse is also responsible for production supply, the following two methods of material staging are available in the system:  Production staging by switching storage locations  Production stock is managed in a storage location that is located somewhere other than in the decentralized warehouse. In this case, the production storage location is not managed in the decentralized warehouse.  If you switch the storage location in the central system, the system generates a delivery, for which you can then pick and post goods issue in the decentralized system.  At this point, the stock that has been staged using this method can be used in a manufacturing order in the central system.  Goods issue posting for a manufacturing order  In this scenario, the raw materials are taken directly from the decentralized warehouse’s storage location and used in the manufacturing order. If goods issue is posted for the manufacturing order in the central system, the system creates a delivery that is sent to the decentralized system. The rest of the process is the same as regular goods issue processing.    Note the following distinctions with regard to reservations:  Delivery does not trigger request generation  If the goods issue posting that generates the delivery refers to a reservation, the reservation number is copied into the delivery. In this case, the delivery does not check for availability and no requirements are generated, since that was already done in the manufacturing order. The reservation is canceled when the actual goods issue posting is made.  Changes disappear after the delivery is distributed  Keep in mind that if the reservation is changed in the meantime (if the production quantity has changed, for example), this change will not affect the delivery. Similarly, a change in the delivery will not result in a change in the reservation.  The WM/PP interface, which you can use for production supply in an integrated system, is not supported for decentralized warehouse processing. This function is not available decentrally because the WM/PP interface is based on the assumption that WM and PP are running in the same system, which is not the case in a decentralized system.  Goods receipt for a manufacturing order  You can process goods receipts from manufacturing orders in the decentralized WM system. For goods receipt postings, the central system first creates an inbound delivery for the manufacturing order and distributes it to the decentralized system.  In the decentralized system, the inbound delivery serves as a basis for putaway in WM. You can correct quantity differences here. Once you have confirmed the putaway transfer orders, goods receipt is posted in the decentralized system. The decentralized system then reports the quantity that was posted back to the central system. This verification automatically makes the actual goods receipt posting for the manufacturing order, along with the material document, in the central system.
