Creating Initial Stock for a material

[VenuAnumayam]

Hello Experts,

Can you please let me know how to create some initial inventory/stock for a material in a storage location?

For eg: I have material MAT1 in Storage Location LC01 in plant PL01 and it does not have any stock. I want to create some stock for this material in storage location (LC01) for the plant (PL01) for testing purposes.

Thanks a lot for the help.

Hi,

If this material is internal manufacturing then you have to create a process/production order(COR1) and release it and confirm it and perform Goods Receipt(101).

If the material is externally procured then you have to create Purchase Order(Me21N) and receive against it in MIGO.

You can take help of your functional consultants to perform these transactions.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,

Ramesh

Thanks Ramesh,

I have created a Production Order (CO01) and Release (CO02) and Confirmed (CO15) it. And posted the Goods Movement (101) in CO15. And it did create a material document. But I do not see any stock for that material.

What went wrong?

Thanks.

Hi,

Check the material document to which storage loc it posted.I think it itakes those vales from Materail master.

You can use transaction MMBE to see the stock for any material.

Yes. I did check that already in MB51. But when I go to MMBE or LS26 to see the stock -they wont display anything.

I have made sure that I am looking at the correct storage locations.

Thanks.

I am not sure why this is happening. But there is another way of creating stock.

user transaction MB1C and select a relevant movement type/plant/sloc and post the qty.
