Hi

It is normal to follow MI01 (create)/ MI04 (enter count) / MI07 (post the difference) in PI process. If you want to carry out the process in single step then you can use MI10. MI09 is used when you dont have any reference document (say like the document created in MI01) and have to post the details. Simply you need to enter count and post the difference.

Thanks

hi,

there are two ways of doing ur PI, one way is m101/mi04/mi07, best practice route,

the other way is mi09 where one step is reduced of mi01. so u can choose the route how u would like to do it.

Thanks

Hi

Please go with following transaction

MI01>Create physical inventory document>Enter Document Date>Planned count date>Plant Code>Storage Location>Click on Enter button>you will get the separate screen>Enter material code>and click on SAVE button (Ctrl+S)>you will get Physical inventory document number. (MI02-Use for delete)

(After getting Physical inventory document number you go with MIO4)

MI04>click on enter button>you will get "Enter inventory count screen>Enter Phys. inventory doc.no>Fiscal year>Count date>click on enter button>you will get separate screen>Enter physical qty>and click on save button ((Ctrl+S)>you will get massage from the SAPu201D Count entered for phys. inv. doc. 100000112"

(After completed above transaction you please go with MI07)

MI07>you will get Post inv.differences: initial screen>Enter Phys. inventory doc.> Fiscal year> Posting date>click on enter button>you will get separate screen with deference qty>click save button (Ctrl+S)> you will get document number generated from the system (Diffs in phys. inv. doc. 100000112 posted with m. doc. 4900001246)

hi,

> Session process like MI09/MI10 are used when:

> 1. When you make the new start up for inventory, may be sue to shifting or creation of new plant etc....

> 2. when there is large no. of materials obtained in the warehouse for the defined periods

> 3. When you PI process is required to be finished very fast with less time consumption...

> 4. When you don't want Book inventory should be freezed for much time...

> so, here we enter one value and all the documents gets updated automatically....

> DAV : If you enter a single value wrong, the whole process get wrong and then you can't change anything later...can only go for recount later for that material...

> Normal process ie. MI01/MI04/MI07(step by step process) is just contrary to the above process...where the disadvantage is merely is overcome in the step by step process...

The main disadvantage of this process is it is time consuming and there are full chances of manual errors...

Hi Ravi,

In SAP R/3, physical inventory can be carried out both for a companyu2019s own stock and for special stock. Inventory for a companyu2019s stock and for special stocks (such as consignment stock at customer, external consignment stock from vendor, or returnable packaging must be taken separately in different physical inventory documents.

The blocked stock returns and the stock in transfer cannot be inventoried. If these stocks are still to be counted in a physical inventory, you must transfer post these stocks to other stocks capable of inclusion in a physical inventory.

The physical inventory process consists of three steps. First is u201Ccreation of physical inventory documentu201D, second is u201Center inventory countu201D, third is u201Cposting the differenceu201D.

The transaction codes are:

MI01 CREATE DOCUMENT

MI04 ENTER COUNT

MI07 POST DIFFERENCE

MI11 ENTER RECOUNT

MI02 CHANGE DOCUMENT

MI03 DISPLAY DOCUMENT

MI05 CHANGE COUNT

MI06 DISPLAY COUNT

MI20 DIFFERENCE LIST

MI24 Physical Inventory List

Hi,

If you are using a scanner to take your physical inventory, the one step process would be the easiest to program. It is simpler for the scanner method, but it does take out the data validation and approval steps in MI07 and MI20 when posting differences. You may wish to periodically run a report to check what quantity and value differences are being posted in the one step process.
