Unrestricted use stock not equal to available stock

$

A frequent misunderstanding is the assumption that the unrestricted use stock is identical with available stock

 

Unrestricted use stock is a stock type, that can be used for everything, has not restriction based on its condition. Other stock types are quality stock and blocked stock.

 

Available stock can be equal, can even be more than unrestricted use stock, can be less than unrestricted use stock. You define yourself in the ATP checking rules how you calculate the available part of your stock

 

A look into our warehouse:

MMBE_unrestricteduse.PNG

and the same in the stock overview transaction MMBE

MMBE_unrestrictquality.PNG

 

You see 263 are unrestricted use, 1 is in quality inspection

But how much is available?

 

Depends on the point of view.

If you are a CSR and you want to check how much of this can be sold with the next order or if you are  checking the stock/requirements list e.g. as a planner

on the left transaction CO09 availability check used by the CSR, on the right the Stock/Requirements list from the planner

CO09_MD04.PNG

Click picture to enlarge, if you can't read it


CO09 transaction shows 262 available, MD04 shows 264 available in the stock line in the beginning. And both do not equal the 263 unrestricted use stock.


Why is this?

CO09 actually starts with 263, you can see this in Rec./reqd qty column, but it immediately reduced the reservation of 1 from the available stock. And it did not include the quality inspection stock.

This is defined in OVZ9 Availability check control. The availability check 02 is coming from material master, the 01 is the my selected checking rule when executing CO09.

OVZ9.PNG

As you can see, safety stock is define as available here, and on the right it is defined what is all considered  as incoming and outgoing movements.


Contrary MD04, the stock requirements list, it shows 264 as available, but why? Because Quality inspection stock is included into available stock by definition of Net requirements calculation.

Additionally you can define in customizing transaction OMI8 Available stocks if you include even stock in transfer, blocked stock and restricted use stock (this is a batch status)

OMI8available stocks.PNG



Let us enter a purchase order of 20 and see how the situation develops.

CO09_MD04after PO.PNG

Both transactions show the purchase order as MRP element, both numbers go up by 20.

CO09 shows now 282 and MD04 shows 283

Wait...CO09 shows as well 262, why 2 different ATP quantities in CO09?

Because CO09 shows a total at plant level, and it shows a total at storage location level.

And since no storage location was entered in the purchase order, only the available stock at plant level goes up.

And why is a purchase order considered as available stock? See your checking rule for CO09, it is marked to be considered as incoming movement. And in MD04 it is considered too, the available stock goes up at the date when the goods are planned to be delivered.


Next experiment. I add a safety stock of 50 in the material master MRP2 view. What happens to CO09 und MD04?

CO09_MD04after safety stock.PNG

As expected, based on the checking rule definition, CO09 does not change because safety stock is defined as available.

But MD04 got a new line showing the safety stock, and reduces this quantity from the available quantity.



One last activity, I add a sales order for 100

CO09_MD04after SDorder.PNG

And in both transactions the sales order can be seen as a reduction from the available quantity...at plant level

It is not reduced from the storage location level, because the storage location was not entered in the sales order.


I hope rough overview with these small examples helps to know that unrestricted use stock is different from available stock.

Can a particular material be procured using different Account assignment category "A"/ "K"/ "Q"/ "P" ?

$

Dear Experts,

        In my company they were procuring Laptops (Mateiral code - IT000040) as Asset using Accont assignment category "A" in PO. Now the same material "IT000040" they want to procure as stock using Account assignment category "Q" which will go to the project stock. Previously the material was created as Non-valuated material and the valuation class assigned to the material is 1720 which was not assigned in BSX under OBYC because it was not coming into stock. Now to procure it as project stock I have to assign the valuation class 1720 to BSX under OBYC. Is it the right solution. If I will do the assignment in BSX what impact it will put in FI. Please suggest.......

Regarding new requirement on Movement Type

$
0
0

Hi Experts

 

     I have a requirement.We have to create custom movement types by copying standard material movements 201 and 202.Now business requirement is creating different movement types for different business transactions as stated below to assign different G/L accounts in different Business Transactions :

 

All the material movements should be a credit against inventory and debits against G&L account


For each of these options we should have a different movement type:


a) For new product developments. - Account Modifier Z01


b) Request for samples to account. - Account Modifier Z02


c) Quality control tests.
- Account Modifier Z03


d) For consumption.
- Account Modifier Z04


e) For cleaning - Account Modifier Z05


f) For reprocessing -
Account Modifier Z06


My question is, instead of creating multiple new movement types unnecessarily which is copy of 201/2 material movement and can we do the same with only one new custom movement type , however, with multiple Account Modifiers???


I mean to say we will create only one new Movement Type(For Example 901/2) but 6 different General Modifiers(mentioned above). But at the time of doing any particular transaction system should automatically determine the relevant account modifier  and determine the relevant G/L as well.That is if we perform new Product Development transaction - system will perform movement 901 , however obtain account modifier Z01 to determine G/L.It should not go for any other account modifier.Is there any provision in standard SAP??

intercompany buying with goods from third party vendor ship direct to other plant

$

Hi,

 

I would like to check with you about the following process if possible in SAP.

 

 

1 – Goods procured from third party vendor and have the goods direct ship to our sister plant in others country.

 

  • I think I can achieve this by indicates the sister plant (off-course as customer object) number into the Customer field in the Delivery Address tab at item detail view during PO creation. Is this correct?
  • Normally, such 3rd party purchasing in standard SAP require goods receipt and with the proper account posting (Dr Stock, Cr GR/IR). Hence, if the procured goods are to ship direct to other party, not us, and in this case, how to achieve the account posting? And the PO will be forever open.

2 – Receive a cross-company Stock transport purchasing order from Sister company, the stock is to purchase from third party vendor and had it direct ship to the sister company.

 

  • Looking at the figure below, is this possible in SAP given that if I can solve the problem I raised on number 1, it only solve my purchasing process, what about the delivery order and PGI from my sister company site, that will means the STO remain open in my MD04 forever? How to solve this?

Quota arrangement modification

$
0
0

Hello MM experts,

 

I have to setup a new quota arrangement for a particular material.

As per the current setup, the material master does not have any value assigned to "Quota Arr.Usage" field.

However, in MEQ1, there are a few quota arrangement records available (as per "Overview of Quota Arr Periods" screen).

The most recent of those records is for the period 1st Jan 2014 till 31st Dec 2014.  The corresponding item detail screen shows 439 nos. "Quota Allocated Qty". However, this is for only one vendor (say vendor A), with procurement type "F" (external procurement) and this vendor has 100% quota. There are no other vendors setup for this period.

 

Requirement: I now need to set up a split quota between 2 vendors (say vendors A & B) with 80% & 20% split.

The record for vendor A needs to be modified to bring down the quota from 100% to 80%; also the special procurement key(L) needs to be assigned for this vendor, since it is going to be subcontract purchase. The other vendor (B) needs to be setup for the remaining 20% with external procurement F.

 

Problem faced:  The field "Special procurement key" for the existing quota record is grayed and I cannot put in the value "L".

When I try to delete the existing quota record (with the idea of inserting a new one), I get the error message "Quota arrangement item cannot be deleted". The detailed help says "The quota arrangement item 001 cannot be deleted because it is active in the system (that is, the quota-allocated quantity is not zero). I get a similar error message when I try to delete the record from the header screen (showing validity period).

 

The question is how to setup the new quota arrangement in place.

As per SAP, quota allocated qty includes all purchase orders/schedule lines that have been placed so far for the material. So, even deleting all the open POs/schedule lines for the material from MD04 won't help, it seems.

 

Is there a solution to this?

 

Please let me know.

 

Thanks & Regards

Prabhu

Inbound delivery Monitor Auto GR Batch Job (VL06i) not working?

Hi Experts,

 

I need help as we are trying to create a batch jobfor doing Auto GR for certain vendors. We have created a batch job WS_Monitor_INB_DEL_GDRC with a variant. Unfortunately the BATCH job is failing to post goods movement in background. The Job executes successfully but fails to post any GR's.

The variant pickes up the deliveries to be posted.

 

I have executed the VL06i for GR with default variant and it list a lot of deliveries but fails to post the GR by batch program. ( just to make sure that if there is problem with the our variant.) but it fails with even standard SAP variant.

 

Any suggestion? what could be done? It is a simple batch job using standard program WS_Monitor_INB_DEL_GDRC.

I will really appreciate your expert input at the earliest.

 

regards,

I have Major Query for Proposed Delivery Dates in Purchase order & MRP generated Purchase Requisitions.

Problem Statement

My business Scenario is -->

Lets take an example, company in Europe and vendor based in Asia.

Vendor will ship the material only till Shipping yard in Asia. after Shipping yard they will send proforma Invoice by email as notification.

Take an example the Delivery time till shipping yard for Vendor is 10 day’s from the day of PO. --> in SAP this is Considered as Planned Delivery Time for Info-record.

lets take example as The Shipment Days are 45 Day’s from Asian Shipping yard to European Shipping yard.

From Shipping yard to plant it will take more 5 Days. --> in SAP this Is considered as GR processing time in Info-record.

SC margin key = 000  -- 0 day's.

Help Required for -->

1) Not Able to display the actual In-transit time of particular procurement for Asian Vendor. – There is No Field in Material Master to update In-transit time.

2) Incorrect data in evaluate the On time delivery report for vendor. – I have created Z T-code with calculations based on EKBE + EKET + Other.

3) in SAP GR processing time is in working day’s (5) in calendar but Planned delivery dates are weekly (7) day’s – incorrect data for Material availability.

Testing Data -->

I have tested this scenario with Info-record planned delivery time – 10 + 45 Day’s & GR processing time is 10 Days.

And with Info-record planned delivery time – 10 & GR processing time is 45 + 10 day’s.

Processed GR with 107 Movement, to proceed for Invoice.

There is no way out to display the Actual In-transit time.

Please Help me to fulfil this requirement.

Out Of scope Points -->

1) Inbound Deliveries

2) GR Based Invoice.
