Stock Differences
Use
In SAP Catch Weight Management (SAP CWM), you can use transaction /CWM/STOCK_CHECK to determine stock differences. Stock differences occur if there are variances between the quantity in the base unit of measure and the quantity in the parallel unit of measure that exceed or fall below set tolerance levels. Stock differences may, for example, be caused by natural weight variations in material withdrawals.

Prerequisites
You have created a tolerance group in the material master for the material for which you want to determine possible stock differences.

Activities
...

1. 2.

Choose transaction /CWM/STOCK_CHECK. On the Selection criteria tab page, enter the criteria (material, batch, plant, storage location, stock type, base unit of measure, parallel unit of measure, alternative unit of measure) according to which stock differences should be displayed. 3. On the List Display tab page, you can choose between Perform Tolerance Check, Display Negative Stock and Display Zero Stock: a. Perform Tolerance Check: The system displays stock for materials with a tolerance variation, with no tolerance group or whose tolerance group is not defined in the system. b. Display Negative Stock: The system displays negative stock. This can relate to stock in the base unit of measure and in the parallel unit of measure. In this case, the system does not perform a tolerance check. c. Display Zero Stock (BuoM/PuoM) The system displays stock that is only zero in reference to one unit of measure (either in the base unit of measure or in the parallel unit of measure). If a stock is zero in both units of measure it is not displayed. In this case, the system does not perform a tolerance check. You can use the Handling Unit indicator to control the handling unit (HU) symbol that is displayed to show that HUs exist for the material. In addition, the system displays the HU stock of the material in the parallel unit of measure. 4. Choose Execute. 5. The screen Check Stock Difference appears. The stock on this screen is displayed for the selected materials in the base unit of measure and in the parallel unit of measure. In the Status column, you can also find details about the type of stock difference: a. b. c. The symbol shows that, relative to the quantity in the base unit of measure, the quantity in the parallel unit of measure is below the defined tolerance limit. The symbol shows that, relative to the quantity in the base unit of measure, the quantity in the parallel unit of measure exceeds the defined tolerance limit.

The symbol shows that no tolerance group is defined for the selected material in the material master, or that the tolerance group is not defined in the system. You can use different hotspots to display, for example, the material master record, the batch, the customer and vendor master record, or the physical inventory document. You can also call the following functions: Create physical inventory for material that is not in a WM storage location. Post quantity in parallel unit of measure for a WM storage location if no quantity exists in the base unit of measure. Call HU monitor Call the Stock Differences of HU to IM Inventory Management report to perform a stock comparison

Example
There is zero stock for the material Parma ham in plant Z100 and storage location Z101. This means that there is no Parma ham in stock in the warehouse, however, the Check stock difference screen shows that there are still 25 KG in stock. As this difference exceeds the tolerance level defined in the material master, the symbol is displayed in the column Status. The stock difference is the result of air-drying the ham. At the point of goods receipt, you posted 10 pieces of ham with a total weight of 100 KG. As the ham loses weight between the point of goods receipt and goods issue, you post another 10 pieces of ham with a total weight of 75 KG. In this way, the quantity remains the same although the weight has decreased. This means that for 25 KG the quantity is 0.
