Adjusting inventory

[former_member1060195]

Hello,

The situation I am trying to solve is this:

Material was purchased as a "non-stocked" item. Now the material that was left over from the original purchase is to be placed into stock.

In the past, the user has been adjusting the material into stock using transaction MI10 which I believe is incorrect as it is inflating the stock but not decreasing it from the original cost centre.

Could someone inform me as to the correct transactions to use when adjusting the inventory on?

thanks.

Hello headrush25

You're 100%, 110% even, right that physical inventory is not correct here.

First, let me assume that we are talking about materials that can be inventory managed, but has been bought with a purchase order with account assignment. You haven't put that explicitly, but that's how I've understood your Material was purchased as a "non-stocked" statement.

If so, that during goods receipt or invoice receipt, depending if goods receipt is required in your purchasing process of non-stocked materials, a cost account is debited. That is defined by the purchase order account assignment.

Therefore to correctly put "non-stocked" material back in stock you need a material movement type that credits the same cost account and debits stock account. Of course when talking about cost account postings, you need to also consider controlling objects e.g. cost center, internal order, WBS element etc. So you'd need to specify them to, exactly the same way as they are specified on the purchase order account assignment, when putting material back in stock.

I can't give you the exact material movement type as that depends on the account assignment of the purchase order.

For example if your purchase order specified account assignment to a cost center, then you'd use 202 (reversal of issue to a cost center) movement type.

You may consider using 292 movement type "reversal of issue to all account assignments". That gives you an option to manually specify all or at least almost all possible account assignments.

There are different types of physical inventory process but you can opt with simplest one with steps(MI01, MI04 and MI07) but check to decide those materials stock nature!

You can't use physical inventor process in that case - it doesn't add up financially!!!
