Different WBS Element

[Former Member]

Hi everyone,

I have an issue with the WBS Element. 50 PCE of a material have a WBS element on LS26, where they have a different one on MMBE. The right one actually is the one, which can be seen on MMBE.

What can I do to change the WBS Element into the right one ? Is it OK, if I perform a transfer via MB1B ?

Thank you.

you first need to analyze how it came to this inconsistency, if there is really one (often people forget to look at the interim bins and open posting changes).

There is usually no option to get rid of an inconsistency by doing normal movements.

Whenever you post to a storage location which is warehouse managed, then you get a quant at the interim storage types and and posting change notice or a transfer request, which has exact the same data like the MM movement, and  you cannot change data in WM independent of MM.

in WM you have a transaction LX23 to wipe out inconsistencies.

It makes MM equal to WM.

So you get MM stock with the same WBS as it is in WM.

Subsequently you can do a physical inventory and count this stock to zero.

What I cannot predict is whether your system will allow MM stock with this WBS number .

At least I described the way how it is possible without  table updates or customizing changes.

You cannot count it to zero right away, as LX23 would need to removed then the quantity from MM, and as this WBS quantity is not present it would like to post  negative stock.

thank you for your answer. Correct me if I'm wrong, but as far as I understand from your answer that I'll have the MM stock with the same WBS as it is in WM, if I perform LX23. In that case I'd have the WBS element that can be seen right now on LS26, which isn't correct.

BTW, I've just ran the transaction by giving plant and storage location number and as outcome I have "List contains no data" screen.

continuing in the procedure:

I know that it is not correct, but only for the small time until you perform the physical inventory. In the physical count you count 0 stock, then you clear the difference with MM. And finally WM and MM do not have any stock of this WBS.

Next step is to create WM stock for the WBS that you  have in MM.

After above step you have stock in MM with the right WBS but no stock in WM.

Still an inconsistency which has to cleared.

this means you need to create extra stock in MM, you can create stock with a 202 movement.

Do this for the same quantity that you already have. Result is that you have double quantity in MM, but the right quantity in WM.

Then do again LX23, this will make the MM stock equal to WM.

------------

if you ran LX23 and the list has no data, then it means that you have no inconsistency.

to evaluate this you would need to give some screenshots, from MMBE and from LS26
