Unwanted Records Appeared When Performing Posting Change in WM level

[Former Member]

Hi,

I've encountered a very very strange problem as follows:

When I performed posting change in WM level, e.g, change the

material "stock in quality control" to "available stock", the system

would generated 2 unwanted records in table LQUA, a Positive quantity Q

stock and a Negative quantity Q stock with equal absolute value, and it

also could be seen via Tcode LS26. Why?

Thanks and best regards.

Hi,

The posting change needs to be converted into a transfer order in the same way as a transfer requirement or delivery needs converting.

Without this transfer order being created or confirmed then you will receive negative/positive stock records (quants) in LQUA and therefore LS26

You can convert the posting changes to transfer orders via either LU04 (which shows open posting changes) or using LT06 against the original MM posting document.

You should also configure the system to automate the creation and confirmation of these WM transfer orders against the specific movement such as 321 etc

Good luck

Hi, Steve,

Thank you very much for your reply.

Yes I can understand what you said. But current problem is, post change operation had been finished, the stock already transfered from QI to Unrestricted, but there were still 2 records existed in post change area (1negative & 1 positive),

and no open TOs existed also.

Please kindly advise again.

Thanks and best regards.

Hi,

Ok, if the posting changes have definitely been processed then you will have to manually correct the WM level stock

This can be carried out by manually moving stock via LT01 movement 999

You will need to analyse the quants in LS26 and determine where the corrections should take place. So for example you have a negative quant in storage type 922 of material A, there will be a corresponding positive quant in a storage type somewhere (could also be 922).

If you check the IM level stock (MMBE) you will see that this is different (by the amount with negatives/positives in WM).

Carry out and confirm a transfer order '999' for the move of stock from the positive quant to the negative quant in WM. The two lines should now disappear and the WM stock should reflect IM stock

Make sure that all elements of the stock match (Status, batch, material etc)

Good Luck

Hi, Steve,

Thank you very much for your expertise.

Yes I can process it manually via LT01/999, but what I confused is that why such kind of problem happened? It happeded once I performed LQ02 to transfer the stock from QI to Unrestricted, my problem is, why it happened, can I stop it?

Thanks and best regards.

Can you check if you have multiple inspection lots processed for the PCNS of this material around same time earlier? It is possible that the Posting changes were confirmed out of sequence resulting in this descrepancy. Or you may have pending transfer requirements or posting changes for this material to be confirmed as TO. You can see them in WAM with LL01. Create Transfer order for those PCNs/TRs using LU04 or from transfer requirement.
