Last Inventory Date update in Quant

[Former Member]

Hi All,

We use Cycle counting in our warehouse and it is triggered by LICC. When a count is performed through LICC, it updates the last inventory date as the last count date.

It also happens that sometimes we count at Bin level, use LI01N and use inventory method as "CC". But after inventory, the last inventory record in the quant is updated with the current record, but the last inventory date is not updated.

Is there a note out there to fix this issue?

Thanks

Hi,

LI01N is not cycle counting, it is called manual inventory as per SAP terminology. Cycle counting is performed by LX26 / LICC. So, maybe you cannot expect SAP to apply cycle counting features if you are using manual inventory process.

Just my thoughts...

I understand that SAP requires "Cycle Counting" for the last inventory date to update count in the quant. But if LI01N using "CC" does not do the same, then maybe CC should not be an option with LI01N.

SAP F1 help for LQUA-IDATU:

...
Date when the quant was last inventoried. This date is only relevant if you execute inventory of quants using Cycle Counting.

Based on this LI01N with CC and LX26 will update only LGAP-IDATU - the last inventory date of the storage bin. Only LICC updates LQUA-IDATU.

Yes i saw that, but since we are using LI01N with CC method, it should behave the same. I am not questioning what SAP does. It is how theoretically it should have been and how it is not.

On the same note, how is LX26 and LICC different.

You should understand that LI01N + CC and LX26 is cycle counting for storage bin whilst LICC is for quant.

If you are not satisfied with this I cannot help you (I cannot modify SAP and I think none of simple forum members can do this...), please contact SAP AG.

Thanks for the information.

I was only looking to see if someone already did contact SAP reagarding this and if there is a note available.

Thanks.
