Dear Friends,

As i have shifted from ECC 5.0 to ECC 6.0, when i tried to post a goods movement in ECC 6.0, it is throwing an error

" Posting only possible in periods 2008/11 and 2008/10 in company code 1000 "

After that i have tried to close the period in MMPV t-code. There it is showing that

" Some negative stocks are there for a material and for a vendor consignment record in previous period "

How to close the period and change it to current period ? Kindly resolve this as soon as possible,please.

Regards

Hi Prasant,

The correct procedure is to remove the neagtive stocks by posting the missing documents & then close the period.

In exceptional case you allowed negative stocks for material but you have to have a procedure in place to make this negative stocks either zero or +ve before you close the period, unless you do that system will not allow you to open the new period.

Negative stocks are necessary in terms of exceptional, for example when goods issues are entered for organizational reasons prior to the corresponding goods receipts i.e.the material is already physically located in the warehouse but due to the lack of time you are not able to post GR then SAP has provided the provision to post -ve transaction.

Once the organization reasons settled ,goods receipts have to be posted, the book inventory balance must again correspond to the physical stock, that is, the book inventory balance may no longer be negative.

now you can run MMPV to close & open your new Period.

hope it helps..

Hi

The correct procedure is to remove the neagtive stocks by posting the missing documents & then close the period.

You cannot find missing documents, you can just find negative stocks e.g. with MB52

or in SE16 table MARD (if batch managed then as well table MCHB)

You allowed negative stocks, but you have to have a procedure in place to make this negative stocks either zero or positive before you close the period, unless you do what the colleque already suggested.

Negative stocks are necessary, for example, when goods issues are entered for organizational reasons prior to the corresponding goods receipts and the material is already physically located in the warehouse.

Once the goods receipts have been posted, the book inventory balance must again correspond to the physical stock, that is, the book inventory balance may no longer be negative.

Negative stocks are always a sign that physical movements must be be entered in the system at a later stage.

Example

1000 pieces of a material are delivered. Due to lack of time, the goods receipt is not yet entered in the system.

Physical stock: +1000 pieces

Book inventory balance: 0 pieces

The material is needed urgently and 100 pieces are withdrawn from the warehouse. The goods issue is entered in the system straightaway.

Physical stock: +900 pieces

Book inventory balance: -100 pieces

At the end of the day, a goods receipt is posted for 1000 pieces.

Physical stock: +900 pieces

Book inventory balance: +900 pieces
