Possible reason for Open PCN

Former Member

Dear experts,

we have problems that our WM found stock was stuck in the interim storage tyep 922 when QC release the material.(mvtype 321)

this is a full batch release which means all quant under this batch will be released and change status from Q to U.

we also set the immediate TO creation indicator in our configuration.

However, we success in release one batch and for another batch of the same material, the stock stuck in interim storage type 922.

we checkted ralated PCN and found the PCN status is blank which means its open and no TO is created accordingly.

could you please help to provide possible cause of this issue? why only some of the batch can't create TO?

I have a screenshot attached. its the WM view from MMBE, you could see from the screenshot that batch X0084 is not released sccussefully but another batch X0086 works fine.

another question is could you please suggest which solution is better?

1. we cancle the release and reprocess the release again?

2. we create 2TOs manually and close the PCN by setting the status to "U"

thanks for your help in advance

Regards

Hello Jürgen,

Thanks for suggestion, I checked LX22 and it seems that I can't directly active the inventory, it will feedback error message.

I then search the SCN to find a way to clean the opening physical inventory counting. it is said that I should use MI02 to clean it but I need to first find the corresponding inventory document number for the material/batch via MI22. However, I don't find any document. Could you please advise how to solve it?

Could you please also suggest how to check why I have open physical inventory counting here? the material is GR from an process order and other batch seems have no issue.

Use transaction LI02N enter the document 2134 and then deactivate this from the menu bar (if you are not planning to carry out further activity on this physical inventory)

MI02 is the transaction at IM level for inventory since WM is active you are supposed to use WM relevent physical inventory transaction

Issue resolved. Thanks a lot

could you please further explain what the possible cause to the open physical inventory?

Human failure.

A physical inventory does not create itself and it does not close  itself. So it was created by somebody and then forgotten. This can be a lost counting sheet or maybe even error messages when posting counts or differences and putting it aside for later and again: forgotten.

And monitoring obviously is not included in your physical inventory activities. You really need to add this step to make sure that all physical inventory documents are posted at the end of a counting day.

Try to create TO manually against the PCN using t-code LT05 if there is any issue it should throw error which will lead to find the root cause

Hi, Manish

thanks for your answer, will the TO created automatically if I can processing the LT05 succesfully? or I still need to manually create the TO?

it should be automatically get transferred to Q to U upon release of Inspection lot since you mentioned that for some of the case it is working fine then the only way to find the route cause that why only for this PCN, TO is not getting created successfully

Please use T-Code LT05 and try to create TO manually for the failed PCN and share the result so that we can suggest what is the route cause for failure

I have tired to use LT05 but system feedback that that "first select stock for posting change". I then found that all quant under this batch is blocked for goods movement. system give message as the screenshot.

Whats unclear with this error message? SAP is telling you that you have an open physical inventory counting document. Check in LX22
