Hi,
We have below cycle count process.
1) batch job/ micn runs and creates physical documents
2) z tcode which prints the cycle count sheet for the inventory cycle count user. User enters the physical count quantities in this tcode which eventually updates tcode MI04.
We don't use ABC analysis as much since it's not as beneficial as it's supposed to be for our business scenario and adds overhead maintenance.
There are many items which we store in the inventory that are need to be always maintained, so even if there is not much movement going on ,we MUST ALWAYS store them. We must cycle count them on a regular basis so we can't set them as C(one a year) and count only once a year. So suggestion is to present these materials for counting ONLY if there was some movement on them say within prior 12 months otherwise we will skip it from cycle counting ( but also have them as indicator as A) assuming the quantity is maintained.
Obviously, there is no option to consider the movement posting date (tables MSEG/MKPF) on MICN during creation of physical document. I may add it in Z tcode from step 2 where it presents to the user for actual cycle counting. If I do this, I understand that there will be discrepancy in the physical documents as there will be physical document created in the system during MICN but no quantity posted in MI04 as I am skipping this part. So next time it may not create the physical document unless the previous document is fulfilled or this stranded physical document might cause other issues that I am not aware of. MI24 will show this document as not counted forever.
Can someone suggest how to handle this scenario?
Thanks,
DK
