Zero stock check for a bulk storage type

Hi Experts,
We have a requirement to do the zero stock check for a bulk storage type. As a standard SAP it is not allowed to do the zero stock check for a bulk storage type. Is there any way to do this?
Thanks & Regards
Sanpan

Hi Sanpan
I am in a similar boat.
We have a Bulk warehouse with storage types with 'B' putaway strategy. We would also like to instigate zero stock check but get the message Zero stock check not supported in bulk storage areas with storage units
Message no. LT246
Did you find a solution to this? Or have you coded a solution?
Many thanks
Adam.

  • No Inventory record generated for zero stock check

    Hi All,
    The issue is no inventory record created for zero stock check.
    prerequisite:
    1. I activated the zero stock  check for the storage type in warehouse,
    2. I also activate the PZ inventory method for zero stock check for this storage type.
    3. storage type is under with 'P -Storage unit type" putaway strategy.
    Steps:
    1. First time I moved the last SU out of the bin, it generated a physical inventory when creating the TO.
        we can go to the item - other data of the TO, and found that hte inventory record created with "PN" inventory method. and the zero stock check indicator is 1.
    2. Then I continued to confirmed the TO with empty bin check. the invetory record was cleared when confirmed the TO.
    3. Then I moved that SU back to the same bin.  (only has one SU in the bin)
    4. Try to create the TO to move the SU out, the TO created, and if we go to TO item - other data, the Zero stock check indicator is 1, but this time, it doesn't create any inventory record?
    Can anyone tell me why it didn't create the inventory record in the 2nd TO?
    Thanks,

    i tried to replicate the case and got the same result that only first time inventory documen was created.
    seems its standard behaviour and if the inventory is already done for the bin then it does not carry out again for the same bin automatically as it did earlier.

  • Manual Zero Stock Check during TO confirmation in SAP 5.0

    Dear All,
    1.We have a requirement to do zero stock check for SU managed Bulk Storage type during TO confirmation. Is there any exit/enhancement which can help us achieve this? We hve used FM L_TA_QUITTIEREN for TO confirmation for bulk storage type.
    2. We also want to do manual zero stock check during TO confirmation as we have same source SU in multiple TO line item in a TO. SAP note 22067 only says to do manual zero stock for this type of scenario. We are able to request empty bin in manual zero stock check. But unable to post any difference. Is there any exit or enhancement which will enable us to post difference during manual zero stock check?

  • Zero Stock Check w/ SU

    Hi all, I'm activating zero stock check for a SU-Managed storage type, but it seems not to work.
    - I've created TO from LT09 removing the whole storage unit;
    - I receive warning message (bin goes empty)
    - While confirming (LT12) I'm asked to confirm zero stock; problem occurs anytime I try to post a remaining QTY. I receive error "No remaining quantity allowed in bin after storage unit transfer" L3423
    Looking on OSS or Internet I have'nt found any constraint in activating such check in a SU-managed storage type...
    Do anybody can help me to clarify this topic?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    Perhaps what you would need to do is:
    - Assign a pick HU to the TO you created.
    - Confirm TO (LT12).
    - Quantity you created in TO is picked from Source SU and then moved to new HU when you confirming the TO.
    - Zero Stock Check is then raised.
    - Remaining quantity is calculated for Source SU.
    Hope the above helps.
    Thanks.

  • Zero Stock Check and Storage Units

    Hi all, I'm trying to activate zero stock check in a SU managed storage type.
    Guys from OSS told me that this is not feasible, since it may expose system to SU duplication. Even if I don't understand this constraint (I am picking for production replenishment, i.e. moving toward a not SU managed Storage Type, so this risk is not my case), I can accept this sentence.
    Since customer is asking for this function, I've tried, as interim solution, to activate Zero Stock Check as Inventory Method, but it does not work too. 
    I've found note 862681, not applicable in my case, but is quoting LT09 and inventory check, not mentioning any constraint. In my understanding, it means that it is possible.
    Someone can help me to solve this problem?
    Thanks in advance

  • [WM] Putaway strategy for bulk storage type SU-managed

    Hi Gurus,
    I need your help
    I have a Bulk storage type with SU-managed. I would undestand the real behaviour of putaway strategy B.
    1)  Case 1: assume that in bulk storage type there are the followed bins (rows):
    - in bin XX1 there is material AAA
    - Bin XX2 is empty
    In this situation if i receive material AAA, putaway strategy B chooses the bin XX1 by background processing - correct!
    2) Case 2: assume that in bulk storage type there are the followed bins (rows):
    - In Bin XX1 there is material AAA
    - in Bin XX2 there is material AAA
    - in Bin XX3 there is material AAA
    In this situation if i receive material AAA, i don't undestand the behaviour of putaway strategy B. Seems that the system chooses in random way the bin (XX1, XX2 and XX3).
    P.S: the storage unit type is one of default - E1.
    Can you help me?
    Thank very much

    You told
    Addn to Stock: X
    Block upon placement: empty
    Then How can you have Case 2?
    In Bin XX1 there is material AAA
    Next time also stock goes to XX1 only not XX2 unless you overwrite manually.
    What does your block strage structure looks like? i'm sorry but i don't undestand your question.
    Go to OMM4 "Define-Block struct." and look No. SUs for your St. bin type, SUT & Bulk stor Ind.

  • LT03 for Bulk Storage Types

    Dear SAP-Experts,
    we use ECC 6.0 with WM. First we create an outbound delivery with VL10a/VL01N, after that we create the TOs with the LT03. We are using storage units(SU) and one SU is one palett. When we create an outbound delivery with 2 paletts the system only created 1 TO. But I need 2 TOs. Is there something to change in the customizing? Should I use an User Exit?
    A picture what the system is doing with a bulk storage type:
    But this is what I need:
    Thanks a lot.
    Walter

    Hi Walter,
    I have never used the split profile in Bulk storage type earlier however i used TO split for other storage type and it works fine for me and i hope the same should work for bulk also.  find below the setting which is required to define the TO Split
    From the below node select --Define Profile
    Define the profile for Performance Data
    Select Profile for Transfer order splitting
    Sort profile for TO splitting
    in my opinion VLENR should work for you however there are multiple option available you can click on the match code button and have a look for other parameter
    Define the movement type,Source storage type , Destination storage type and Profile for the TO split which was define in the above steps

  • Zero Stock Check Issue

    Bins are getting blocked for putaway due to Zero Stock Check.
    We have configured the system to do zero stock check. However, this blocks the bin for stock placement & removal till the TO is confirmed.
    There could be a significant time lag between the TO creation and confirmation.
    While the Bin is blocked for putaway , the receiving dock cannot putaway goods to the bin.
    This is creating issues with the inventory movements around the WH.
    Any ideas ?

    Hi,
    In your storage type customization, the option 'Block upon stock plcmt' would have been set to 1, which blocks entire bin against goods movements. try set it to 2, it should work.

  • ZERO STOCK CHECK FUNCTIONALITY

    I want to have some clarification regarding zero stock check in WM. what should i fill in the "remaining quantity" in the ZERO stock check while confirming a TO in the below 3 scenarios.
    1. TO quantity:- 100
    System quantity:-100
    Actual physical quantity:-100
    2. TO quantity:- 100
    System quantity:-100
    Actual physical quantity:-90
    3. TO quantity:- 100

    Actual physical quantity:-110
    Thanks

    Hi Raj,
    The accuracy of the stock balance in a warehouse can be guaranteed not only by taking inventory. There should also be the capability of carrying out corrections to stock balances on a regular basis. The monitoring, checking, and correcting of the stock balance when material is removed from stock is very important, especially in a warehouse with partial issue. In WM the task that performs this function is known as zero stock check.
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_45b/helpdata/EN/c6/f849054afa11d182b90000e829fbfe/content.htm
    In the standard WM system, two movement types for differences have been defined.
    For differences in which the quantity is not in the storage bin but is "on the books", use the movement type 711. In this case the difference must be removed (cleared) from the warehouse and posted to the interim storage area for differences.
    For differences in which the quantity is in the storage bin but "not on the books", use the movement type 712. In this case the difference must be removed (cleared) from the interim storage area for differences and posted to the warehouse.

  • Negative quantity in Zero stock check

    Hi guys
    How do i enter negative quantity in zero stock check??
    Example
    I have 10 pcs of material A. i have posted 201 movement for this material.
    A TO is created, while confirmation of TO it is found that only 8 pcs of material A are available .
    how is this handle?? and how do i clear the difference quantity.
    Regards

    HI Karthi
    i have only 10 pcs of material A. I have activated zero stock check.
    1. i have posted movement 201 for 10 pcs in IM.
    2. a TR is created which is converted into a TO.
    3. While confirming TO, i have entered actual quantity as 8 pcs and difference quanity as 2 pcs. then i have confirmed that the stock is Zero for the bin.
    4. the system now has created -2 pcs in storage type 911 and 2 pcs in storage type 999.
    as suggested by you i have tried to create a TO with respect to TR
    Details of TO
    Source type 999 qty 2
    Destination 911 qty 2
    once i confirm the TO the quanity for this material becomes Zero.
    Now the stock in 999 and 911 is zero, so i cannot post LI21.
    Let me know what am i doing wrong?
    Regards

  • Replenishment From SU Managed Bulk Storage Type

    Hi Experts,
    We are trying to implement Immediate TO Creation Random Bin Management from a SU Managed Bulk Storage Type.
    Our scenario is the following:
    We have a SU Managed Bulk Stype: Stype 702
    We have a SU Managed Stype with Putaway Strategy "P": Stype 701
    We have material 11000026 and we define the following in WM View 2:
    Max Qt: 6000
    Min Qt: 2000
    Replenishment Qt: 3000 
    Whenever a delivery TO from 701 is confirmed, and the stock level of material 11000026 in SType 701 drops below the Min. Qt, we need the system to immediately generate a replenishment TO: 3000 kg from Source SType 702 to Destination SType 701.
    So far we have done the following:
    Created a WM.Mov.Type 721, for which Manual TO creation is not allowed and with Ref.Stor.type Search 721.
    We defined Replenishment Control for SType 701: with Replenishment Mov.Type 721 and Replenishment Technique 2.
    Created SType Indicator with Operation A and Ref.Stor.type Search 721; in the sequence the first and only SType is Stype 702.
    We assigned the SType Indicator to Material in WM View 1.
    Whenever we actually confirm a delivery TO from 701 and the stock level drops below the min Qt., the system is not generating the immediate TO. What is the correct configuration or how can I achieve our request?
    (The configuration described above works perfectly between STypes that have both the same Putaway Strategy, "P")
    Thank you,
    Leonidas Oyaga

    Hi Mihailo,
    Just tried running Tx. LT0R. I get Error Message No. L3009: "no destination storage bin to be found in storage type 701."
    (Before doing this, I deleted ID Point 711 from SType 701).
    I believe the issue is related to the relationship between SU Managed Bulk SType (702) and SType 701. In 702 stock in a storage bin can be identified based on the SU. However, when creating the TR or OT the system is not able to find a destination storage bin because the quantity taken from a storage bin in 702 is greater than the max quantity allowed in a single storage bin in 701. As if when picking the quantities it is trying to deliver the whole quantity to a single storage bin instead of transfering each SU (1000 KG per SU) to a different storage bin.
    For Instance:
    Material 11000026 Stype 701
    Min Qt: 2000
    Max Qt: 6000
    Replenishment Qt: 4000
    Storage Bin Capacity in 701: 1000
    When stock level drops belowe Min. Qt, and the system tries to do replenishment from 702 by delivering 4000, the system is not able to find a storage bin in storage type 701 because it excedes the storage bin capacity.
    Best Regards,
    Leonidas Oyaga

  • Continuous inventory based on zero stock check doesn't work

    Hello!
    The contiunous inventory based on zero stock check doesn't work.
    The problem is that I ticked both signs in the customizing for zero
    stock check and it doesn't work. The box for zero stock check
    appears, but if you check afterwards the inventory with LX25 nothing
    is done.
    Could the problem be that I my inventory method is PZ - continuous
    inventory?
    Help urgently needed!
    Thanks

    Now I can see the problem - fault of a beginner!
    I have not created any inventory document including this storage bins.
    Now my question is, how to create this?
    I have tried to create one for the continuous inventory stock, but I'm not able
    to book any goods movement on it because it is locked.
    Please help me how to create the inventory document, so that
    the continuous inventory based on zero stock check works.

  • Zero stock check

    Hi All
    Please find my requirement below:
    I have created a program to confirm the TO. For this I'm calling L_TO_CONFIRM FM to confirm TO. But my client asks to perform Zero Stock Check, as in LT12, in my program befor TO confirm. Please tell me how to do this?
    And, the condition for this is I need to check if the Bin doesn't have any more quantities. For this, I'm asked to activate this check when the TO quantity and BIN quantity is equal. Please tell me how to check this as well with Technical field names.
    Thanks in advance.
    Skysen

    Hi,
    you can get list of all quants for selected material with BAPI BAPI_WHSE_STOCK_GET_LIST. BAPI BAPI_WHSE_STOCK_GET_DETAIL will give you an information about quant. You should be able to do zero stock check from data retrieved by these two BAPIs. Another way is to debug LT12 to figure out how SAP does zero stock check.
    Cheers
