Hi All
I wrote blog previously about Cycle Counting at Bin Level https://community.sap.com/t5/enterprise-resource-planning-blogs-by-members/cycle-counting-physical-i.... In this blog I am going to write about Cycle Counting at Quant Level in WM.
Introduction- In contrast to the Cycle Counting Inventory, the cycle counting inventory at quant level is not based on the storage bin, but rather on the individual quants in your warehouse.
If you use cycle counting inventory at quant level, the system does not set the inventory block for the entire storage bin. It sets the block instead for the quant to be inventoried. You count only the selected materials, not all materials in the storage bin. If you manage storage bins with mixed storage, these storage bins are accessible for stock movements with other quants. There can be open transfer orders for all materials that were not flagged for cycle counting in the inventory document. You can also create transfer orders for these materials during the inventory. The system saves the inventory data at quant level.
All Configuration Steps will be same I mentioned in my Previous Blog https://community.sap.com/t5/enterprise-resource-planning-blogs-by-members/cycle-counting-physical-i... Except below additional configuration,
In Customizing - SPRO- Logistic Execution-Warehouse Management- Activities- Physical Inventory- Define Types per Storage Type ,
you have specified the inventory procedure for the required storage type as continuous inventory using cycle counting.
SPRO-Logistic Execution- Warehouse Management -Activities- Physical Inventory -Maintain Number Ranges for Inventory number range Quant
Process Step
To create physical inventory documents at quant level for the cycle counting inventory
Logistics Execution- Internal Whse Processes - Physical Inventory - In Warehouse Management Physical Inventory Document - Cycle Counting per Quant
Transaction Code LICC
Note- If you generate inventory documents for the cycle counting inventory at quant level, these documents are active immediately . In this case, you cannot schedule the physical inventory in advance by first generating the inventory documents and activating them at a later point.The system immediately blocks the affected quants for all other stock movements.
For Rest Process Step we can refer last Blog https://community.sap.com/t5/enterprise-resource-planning-blogs-by-members/cycle-counting-physical-i...
Count LI11N
WM Level Difference LI20
IM Level Difference LI21 or LX23
To obtain an evaluation about the progress of the cycle counting
Logistics Execution Internal Whse Processes Information System Warehouse Physical Inventory With Bin Inventory Management Evaluation of Quant Inventory
Transaction Code LI15
Note- In a stock movement, if you move a quant from one storage bin to another, the system deletes the quant in the source storage bin and creates a new quant in the destination storage bin. Because the system stores the inventory data for the cycle counting inventory at quant level in the quant data, any inventory data that you previously entered is lost in this type of stock transfer.
Conclusion- This method is very useful. we dont want to block all stock or bin for a particular material so we can use it by blocking a quant. It will help us to run business smoothly without impacting.
Please share your feedback to improve it
