Filters

  • Only includes data from the RCS (WP1) system.
  • Because this report only displays the values, not the quantities, any materials that are not valuated will not be displayed in this report (Materials valued at 0 - consignments...).

Characteristics

Storage Location : as SAP only manages the stock values at material + plant level the value will not be correct at storage location level. This because SAP is not able to split correctly the value between storage locations.

FAQ

Question : What difference with the "Physical Inventory Coverage" core query ?

The differences with the BW - Physical Inventory Coverage Rate query are :

  • In this query, if a material was inventoried in ANY storage location, it will be considered as fully inventoried - Whereas in the Physical Inventory it goes into the storage location detail.
  • In this query, the current value of the stocks is used whereas in the Physical Inventory query, the end of last year inventory is used.

Question : When I display by Storage location, I have negative values and an "# Not assigned" Storage location

As SAP only manages the stock values at material + plant level the value will not be correct at storage location level. This because SAP is not able to split correctly the value between storage locations.

So if you had the storage location, you may have negative values because some material movements are not valuated by SAP. You may also have a not assigned storage location because for some valuated movements, SAP doesnt record the storage location. 

Note that in any case, the total value is actual correct.
