3/20/2019 WM Cycle Counting Process
Hello,
The process you have outlined is correct. Here steps 1-3 are the preparatory for initiating a cycle
count.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/en/c6/f8406c4afa11d182b90000e829fbfe/frameset.htm
Regarding LI21:
Since the inventory in a WM managed Sloc is "always supposed to" be in-sync with IM, once you
carry out the inventory at the WM level and you enter / clear off inventory differences in WM only,
your storage bin / quant level data gets updated, however you haven't as yet told the system how it
should reconcile the updated data ( happened as a result of WM inventory clearance) to tie / match
up with inventory in IM (at the Sloc level) . LI21 is what will do this for you. Hence sequentially, you
carry out clearing in WM first and then do the clearing in IM as well. Now, since WM changes
reflect/update the data finally at the IM level, so when you carry out WM inventory clearing (LI20) this
will update system "only on the bin level" NO FI docs are posted at this point.. And now when you go
ahead and carry out the IM clearing, this is where the actual stock level changes will be carried out
and you will also get a material document and a FI document posted as well.
But after LI20, when trying to do LI21, I am getting the message " Clearing only from storage types
with no placement or removal strategy" and could NOT proceed further. How to close the
cycle/process by doing Inventory at IM level.
Please let me know what the problem is...Am I missing any configuration setting..??
Thanks,
KIT

3/20/2019 WM Cycle Counting Process
I think I got it..ie., Why I was unable to do LI21 or process at IM level..because the Differences
posting should be done to Storage Type 999 NOT to the storage Type in which WM Inventory is
counted (which could be storage type - 001 or 005 or 100 or 500, etc.)
Enter the warehouse number and interim storage type for inventory differences.
In the standard system, storage type 999 is set up as the interim storage area for inventory
differences.
The system displays a list of difference items that are planned for clearing to Inventory Management.
Choose Clear or Save to post the differences from the WMS to Inventory Management (MM-IM).
Hi,
Why u are using the complicated process for physical inventory in WM/MM.U can remove the
cyclecounting indicator in material master.U can maintain the frequency in a excel sheet.After
counting
it physically u can alawys adjust thro MB11 using 711&712 movement type thro which the adjustment

can be made according to the counting done.The adjustment will be done in MM& WM at the same

Hi,
Once you clear WM stock from LI20 then the IM stock will get cleared through LI21.By this system
will be in synch.
