Stock Overview: Company Code/Plant/Storage Location/Batch
Description
The stock overview provides you with an overview of the stocks of a
material at all organizational levels. This distinguishes it from the
Plant Stock and Storage Location Stock views in the material master
which provide an overview of the stocks only at a particular plant or
storage location.
You can access the stock overview from the Material Master screen by
choosing Other -> Stock overview. On the screen that appears, you enter
the relevant material. You can also enter selection criteria to restrict
the overview.
Under List display, you are required to specify a display version. Under
Select display levels, you can restrict the stocks displayed in the
basic list to specific organizational levels.
Output
Basic List
The basic list appears when you choose Execute, and provides an overview
of the stocks at all existing organizational levels according to your
selection criteria. You can navigate from one window to the next in the
stock overview by choosing Right columns or Left columns accordingly.
Breakdown List
If you want to display only the stocks at a particular organizational
level, position the cursor on the appropriate line in the basic list and
choose Breakdown next level. The breakdown list appears. It provides an
overview of the stocks at the organizational level selected and at the
next level down according to your database selection criteria.
Details
In either of these lists, you can display the following details by
positioning the cursor on an organizational level or stock type and
choosing Choose:
o Stock at a particular organizational level
Example
You want to display all existing stocks in plant 0001. You can do
this in either the basic list or breakdown list by positioning the
cursor on the stock line for plant 0001 and choosing Choose. A
dialog box appears in which the stock quantities are listed by stock
type for plant 0001.
o Details on a stock type
Example
You want to display all the vendors for a consignment material. You
can do this in either the basic list or breakdown list by
positioning the cursor on the Vendor consignment line and choosing
Choose. A dialog box appears in which the individual consignment
stocks of the material are listed by vendor.
Displaying the Batch Classification
On the stock lines from batch level downwards, you can display the
classification for the respective batch by positioning the cursor on the
appropriate stock line and choosing Extras -> Batch classification.
Displaying Stocks in Alternative Units of Measure
You can display the stocks of the material in an alternative unit of
measure by entering the unit in the Unit of measure field in the stock
overview header and choosing New selection. You can display the
alternative units of measure that have been defined for the material by
choosing Extras -> Units allowed.
Switching to a Different Material
From the stock overview, you can display an overview for another
material by entering the material concerned in the Material field in the
stock overview header and choosing New selection.

Hello Ana,
A very important difference between MB52 and MMBE that in MB52 you can get stock report (even excel friendly report if you switch into ALV) for several material number at the same time while in MMBE you can check only one one of them (only one material).
In MMBE you can't e.g. see blocked stock but from menu you can very easily reach MD04, MB51, etc

Just to correct one thing, In MMBE you can see blocked stock. There are several display variants given by SAP. (See field in selection screen) Further you can customize own display variants. By clicking a stock line in MMBE you get a pop-up that displays all quantities per stock type at this one line.
