What is meant by plant stock

Hi Guys
What is meant by plant stock?
What business scenario we can say a stock as pant stock?
Is there any scenario that we can call a stock as non-plant stock?
Thanks in Advance.

The reason SAP uses the term plant stock is because, under special scenarios the stock is not stored at storage location level (MM-IM) or at Bin Level (WM) but at plant level
The scenarios are when the stock is sent to sub-contractor, consignment stock at your customer etc.
Hope the above gives you a better picture, revert if you need additional info.
Regards,
Vivek

What is meant by opening stock balance?

what is meant by opening stock balance and how we load the opening stock balance .Actually i gone through the document in SDN.But i didn't understood properly.Can anybody explain in simple words.

Hi Pardhu,
In many cases your SAP R/3 system goes live earlier than your BW system.
Say during go live in R/3 on 1st May 2009 - you had certain stock of product1 in inventory - say 100 PCS.
You then sold 20PCS of product1 and brought 40PCS until today.
So the stock of product1 in your inventory is 100 - 20 + 40 = 120.
Now if your BW system was to Go Live tomorrow.
You would have to let BW know what is your current stock level.
From tomorrow then you can record only movements in BW.. ie you will send only data of sold and brought pcs of prodct1 from tomorrow.
To inform BW about the current stock level you need the data source 2LIS_03_BX.
To send the movements to BW you have the data source 2LIS_03_BF.
2LIS_03_BX picks data from statistical table.
For the statistical table to reflect the current stock of product one , you need to run MNCB ---> which precisely calculate the current stock level of product1 using the logic 100 - 20 + 40 ie stock till date and stores it in the statistical table.
Then you load this data through 2LIS_03_BX to BW. Thus BW has the information of current stock.
Then you load the movemens only through 2LIS_03_BF after setting up the delta.
Markers can only be updaed when compression is done.
You choose to update the marker based on certain conditions.
BW uses markers to store the information of stock levels.
It stores the stock as the marker value(reference value) +/- delta changes.
When the cube is compressed you can update the marker. This will make the reference more current in time. Thus to calculate current stock you will have to take into account lesser deltas and a more current marker .. this improves performance...

Different stock between Acount view and Plant stock in MM03

Hello Experts,
In MM03 Acount view, I found the Total stock is 1, but in plant stock view, I found the stock is Zero.
There is not really any physcial invnetory so it must be a problem on the report.
And on mm03 that it was only on the finacial view screen that stock showed, it does not show on the normal stock screens.
What cause this difference? and How to clear the stock from the financial view?
Thanks

Hi
Please run MB5K for the problem material. If it shows difference, then there might be inconsistency between accounting stock and plant(storage location) stock. If that is the case, physical inventory can't help. The correction(direct table update) is necessary and can only be done by SAP.
Hope the information helps.

Polly

Project material requirements to consider plant stock first

In some ERP systems, we have project specific BOMs and when the requirements are exploded and netted, the system first tries to see if the demand can be met from plant stock. If full or partial demand can be met from the plant stock, the system recommends a stock transfer order from general (plant) inventory to the project.
Any unmet requirement generates a project specific 'mrp-planned' order (purchase or production recommendation). This way, the planners and financial can see what existing plant stock can be used for a project and they can use this info for financial planning. Once the planner determines that the existing plant stock is usable for the project, he/she can confirm and 'execute' the transfer order which prings the plant stock to the project stock. For engineering or technical reasons (single lot date code requirements) the planner can choose not to accept the stock transfer recommendation (either fully or partially) and manually create purchase recommendation to cover the quantity.
I have read some posts here but it is not clear that IN SAP PS if the collective indicator is set (or not set), would one be able to see, either directly or indirectly, what plant stock is recommended to be transferred as project stock?
Can the behavior of described ERP system be modeled?
Thanks, experts.

Hi,
Please also try the following settings in Material Master to consider the item from plant stock ..
View : MRP1
MRP Type : PD
Lot Size : MB
View : MRP 2
Procurement Type : F
View : MRP 3
Strategy Group : 70
Mixed MRP : 3
Availability Check : 01
View : MRP 4
Individual/coll. : 2

Inter plant stock transfer

Dear Experts,
Assigned to different valuation areas, a cross plant stock transfer will lead to a value update in the stock accounts.
An accounting document is created in addition to the material document.
What entry will the accounting document carry?
Say valuation in plant A is 1000 ( 100 units * $10 per pc) for the material being transferred to plant B where the valuation is $9.
And what if they belong to the same valuation area , does that mean the price of the material has to be the same for both the plants or it can differ? will there be any accounting document
Anticipating your replies.
Regards,
Akhil

1. In your case Accounting entry would be
if Moving Average Price is set
Stock Account        (Receiving Plant-Valuation Area)              Dr                    1000
Stock Account        (Sending Plant- Valuation Area)                Cr                    1000
if Standard Price is set at Plant B"
Stock Account     (Receiving Plant-Valuation Area)               Dr                    900
Price Differenece Account                                                     Dr                     100
Stock Account     (Sending Plant- Valuation Area)                Cr                    1000
2. if you have set Plant as a valuation area then all cross plant transfers will be generated with accounting document.

Total Stock vs Plant Stock

I have the following problem with the stock:
The total stock (MBEW-LBKUM) shown in the material master data (Accounting 1 tab) is not equal to the Plant Stock (MARD-LABST) shown in the Plant Stock tab (there is only unrestricted stock).
In my opinion they should be the same because:
- The valuation area is a plant (transaction OX14)
- I´m not using valuation categories (which determines the valuation type). Thus in table MBEW the field valuation type is blank, the same as the valuation category.
Any ideas on why the stock is different?
Thanks in advance!

Dear Agustin
Actualy i was also facing the same problem in my previous project.Also I have gone thru some of the threads in SDN few ppl were facing the same problem
just check the entries in Table
MARD and MBEW for the material for which u are getting the difference.
what must have in the begining that ur GR must have been done with the non valuated stock
Check in the table MARDH and MBEWH to find the period where it started to become different.
MARDH has all stock, MBEWH has only valuated stock.
It all happened in the begining when the stk is uploaded with zero price and when the first GRN happens then the price of that material gets updated in the material master,
the stk must have been uploaded twice due to that reason some stk are valuated and some stk are non valuated ,that u can see in MB5B T-code ,for valuated stk the table is MMBE and the valuated + Non valuated stk gets updated in MARD so by the difference of stk in MARD and MBEW u will get the Non valuated stk.
How ever in MM03 -> Accounting View -> Total Stock is the Total Valuated Stock.
In MMBE, Total Stock comprises of Valuated and Non Valuated Stock.
Also, if there are Sales Order Stock with Individual Valuation, these Stocks will not be shown in Accounting View -> Total Valuated Stock, however this will be in MMBE.
Please refer the threads posted by me
1)How to Convert Non Valuated stk into Valuated
2)Inventory difference problem in MM03 and MMBE
3)Qty Differene problem in MMBE & MM03
where as to solve your problem is to only make a program in which it will update the MARDH stock and MBEWH stock so that in future the problem does not arise.
Coz our sales person was finding the stock in MMBE but he was not able to do the delivery.
Coz there were no valuated stock.
To solve this I have made a program in which both the stocks will remain the same.I didnt got any solution thats the reason we have to take thsi step
Hope this finds useful .If it does I will expect the Points from you

What is meant by contract ?

hi all,
I am new to SAP.
what is meant by contract, pipeline, third-party, sub-contract,consinment ?
thnks in advance.
by,
raghul

Dear raghul
- [Contract]    When you enter into an agreement with some parties for some reason, it may be called as contract which would be valid for a specified period wherein, conditions to be adhered to, would be listed and should be agreed by both the parties.
- [Pipeline]     In automobile industry, this is very famous. A pipeline consists of a chain of processing elements arranged so that the output of each element is the input of the next. If any work is stopped in between these element, the entire production would come to standstill. This plays a vital role in major manufacturing industries.
- [Third Party]    In third-party order processing, your company does not deliver the items requested by a customer. Instead, you pass the order along to a third-party vendor who then ships the goods directly to the customer and bills you. A sales order may consist partly or wholly of third-party items. Occasionally, you may need to let a vendor deliver items you would normally deliver yourself.
- [Subcontract]    In manufacturing industries, it is highly impossible to carry out all operations. Wherever sensitive operations involved, it will be done inhouse and rest they will have couple of vendors to do that particular operation. For that particular operation of a component, whatever the vendor incurrs, company will pay the money.
- [Consignment]    In case of sales to OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers), this plays a major role. OEMs like Maruti, Suzuki will not place order as and when they require. Instead, they will release a open order which will be valid for two three years. Based on this open order, they just release schedules regularly. What manufacturer should do is to appoint a warehouse agent nearer to the OEMs region and stock the goods ordered by OEMs. As and when it is required by these OEMs, it will be despatched from these warehouses.

What is meant by cost element

hi
what is meant by cost element

HI.
Differentiation of Cost Elements
Use
In call management, it is necessary to differentiate cost elements further for the settlement of orders in profitability analysis. Both the costs incurred and the sales deductions are classified according to their source, and assigned to the appropriate cost elements. For example, the following costs are differentiated:
Sales costs
Warranty costs
Good will costs
Sales deductions due to warranty
Sales deductions due to good will
The differentiation of costs and sales deductions enables you to assess more accurately the profitability of your products.
Integration
The differentiation of cost elements is only of use if the service orders are settled in profitability analysis.
Prerequisites
Resource-related billing must be performed for service orders.
You must have defined the accounting indicator in Customizing for Plant Maintenance.
When you create a service order, you define the accounting indicator in the header, under administrative data. Currently it is only possible to have one accounting indicator per order.
Once the order is released, the accounting indicator can no longer be changed in the order header.
Features
When actual postings are made for a service order, the system creates CO single records and a CO totals record. When doing this, it copies the accounting indicator defined in the order header, and enters it in the origin of the totals or single records.
In addition to the variance class and the cost element, the accounting indicator is a further characteristic of the PA transfer structure.
The transfer of the accounting indicator to the origin also makes it possible during the settlement of a service order in profitability analysis, to navigate more specifically in the PA transfer structure. The costs and sales deductions for warranty, good will, and sales are entered in the respective value fields.
Reward all helpfull answers.

What is meant by functun module

Hi Gurus,
Can you please explain me what is meant by function modue and importance of this?
Thanks in advance
venkat

Hi Venkat,
Your question is not clear as to whether you want to about function module in ABAP or a Functional module. Anyway..........pls find answer for both below -
ABAP function module -
Function modules are procedures that are defined in special ABAP programs only, so-called function groups, but can be called from all ABAP programs. Function groups act as containers for function modules that logically belong together. You create function groups and function modules in the ABAP Workbench using the Function Builder.
Function modules allow you to encapsulate and reuse global functions in the SAP System. They are managed in a central function library. The SAP System contains several predefined functions modules that can be called from any ABAP program. Function modules also play an important role during updating and in interaction between different SAP systems, or between SAP systems and remote systems through remote communications.
SAP Functional Module -
SAP functional module represents each functional area of an organisation. Each module helps in mapping respective business processes into SAP. The following is the broad bifurcation of Functional Modules -
ACCOUNTING - FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING Module
LOGISTICS - SALES AND DISTRIBUTION Module, MATERIALS MANAGEMENT Module, QUALITY MANAGEMENT Module, PRODUCTION PLANNING AND CONTROL Module
PLANT MAINTENANCE Module
PROJECT SYSTEM Module
HUMAN RESOURCES - HUMAN RESOURCE Module
Reward if helps

What is meant by Time Phased Planning?

Dear Experts,
What is meant by Time Phased Planning?
Pls tell me both functionally & how we do it in SAP...as i am an Abapper
Kind Regards
Sajid

Dear,
If a vendor always delivers a material on a particular day of the week, it makes sense to plan this material according to the same cycle in which it is delivered, but displaced by the delivery time. This is possible with the time-phased planning procedure.
Materials that are planned using the time-phased planning technique are provided with an MPR date in the planning file. This date is set when creating a material master record and is re-set after each planning run. It represents the date on which the material is to be planned again and is calculated on the basis of the planning cycle entered in the material master record. For materials that are planned using the time-phased planning procedure, the two indicators, the total change indicator and the net change planning indicator are irrelevant. Therefore, they are not set by the system even if changes that are relevant to the planning run are made.
The system uses the interval between the MRP date and the availability date of the next MRP date for the requirements calculation in the planning run. Existing stocks must cover this interval. You must bear in mind that if nothing is ordered at the first MRP date, you have to wait for the next MRP date before you can plan and order this material again. Therefore, if an order proposal is created during this planning run, it will not be available until the end of the interval.
The requirements are calculated using the following formula:
forecast value for the interval (cycle + purchasing department processing time + planned delivery time + goods receipt processing time) + safety stock
this may help u

Pardeep Malik
