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.
