Applying Other Customizing Settings

Plant Parameters The plant parameters are a summary of the plant-dependent control parameters of inventory management and physical inventory. In Customizing, you can find the settings under  Materials Management → Inventory Management and Physical Inventory → Plant Parameters . Be aware that most of the inventory management functions are configured not only depending on the plant. Often there are other settings that need to be made depending on the movement type or other values. You should therefore make the settings for a specific function in the corresponding Customizing activity. This ensures that you do not forget any relevant settings. kubernetes containarization training courses malaysia Settings for Goods Movements (MIGO) The settings for the goods movements are divided into three sections.

Applying Inventory Sampling - Optional

  Calculation Basis Using the inventory sampling procedure means that a complete inventory is not conducted. Only some of the stock units are inventoried and the count results are extrapolated to the value of the total stock. This procedure only makes sense if the statement value of the inventory set up in this way is equivalent to that of a physical inventory. This means that an inventory sampling must have the same value and the same error rate as a full inventory. Every inventory has errors. Errors can occur due to counting errors and input errors. During an inventory sampling, the actual counting error is smaller than in a full inventory because only a part of the stock management units is inventoried. In inventory sampling, however, there is an additional error due to the extrapolation of the count to the complete stock. The sum of these two errors (counting error and extrapolation error) must not exceed the total error of an equivalent full inventory. An ideal value distribut...

Configuring Split Valuation

  Split Valuation – Overview With split valuation, you have the option of differentiating between partial stocks of a material according to particular criteria and handling them differently, regarding the valuation, within a plant. A split valuation might be necessary in the following cases: When the stock of material from in-house production has a different valuation price to the stock of the same material from external procurement. When the stock of a material is to be distinguished by quality and the value is determined depending on the quality. When the different batch stocks of a material have different valuation prices. If you want to use split valuation, it must be activated and configured in Customizing. The activation of split valuation allows you to perform split valuation for single materials, as required, but it does not mean that every material needs to be valuated separately. To differentiate between material stocks, you must define a valuation category and at least t...

Configuring Stock Determination

  Principles of Stock Determination With stock determination, you can use strategies based on the specified Customizing settings for material withdrawal of GIs and stock transfers. Based on the created material demand, the systems determine the sequence of the storage locations and stocks from which the desired material is to be withdrawn. application services You can use stock determination in various application components, such as inventory management, sales and distribution, and shipping. This lesson introduces stock determination as used in inventory management. The settings listed in this lesson are valid for the other applications; however, the rule assignments for stock determination are different in the individual applications. For more information, go to Customizing for  Stock Determination  under  Assign Stock Determination Rules  in the applications. lean six sigma certification training courses malaysia Customizing Settings for Stock Determination S...

Performing Stock Transfers Between Plants

  Cross-Plant Stock Transfer In the case of a plant-to-plant stock transfer, the plants between which material is transferred can belong either to the same company code or to different ones. In contrast to a storage location-to-storage location stock transfer, a plant-to-plant transfer affects Financial Accounting (FI) and material requirements planning (MRP) in the following ways: FI (only if the two plants are assigned to different valuation areas): A cross-plant stock transfer leads to a value update in the stock accounts. An accounting document is generated parallel to the material document for the stock transfer. The stock transfer is valuated at the valuation price of the material in the issuing plant. In the case of a cross-company-code stock transfer, two accounting documents are created at the time of posting - one for each company code. The offsetting entry to the stock posting is then made to a company-code clearing account. M RP: A change in the plant stock is taken int...

Posting Cancellations, Return Deliveries, and Returns

  Cancellation It is recommended that you enter a reversal document with reference to the original material document. This has several advantages: You can copy the items to be reversed from the source document. The system automatically determines the reversal movement type. Reversal postings of goods issues, transfer postings, and goods receipts without references are valuated with the value of the original document. Reversal postings of goods receipts with reference to purchase orders or production orders are valuated with the value determined from the purchase order or production order. You can use the list of cancelled material documents to analyze the cancelled material documents. Use the  Display Cancelled Material Documents  app or the corresponding transaction  MBSM . To start the transaction  MBSM , on the  SAP Easy Access  screen, choose  Logistics → Materials Management → Inventory Management → Environment → List Displays → Cancelled Mat...
