Clearing Difference Of WM And IM Via LI21

Question:

Trying to clear difference for blocked stock in LI21, an error will show up saying
'reason for movement xxxx not supported ' but in OMBS, reasons for movement type
711 and 712 are maintained correctly. 
  
Also, for unrestricted use stock, clearing difference can be performed well. What can
be the problem? 
  
Answer: 
  
Firstly 711 and 712 are not 'reasons for movements' they are Movement types and
they are used to write 0ff (711) and write on (712) stock via a stock count (physical
inventory) 
  
In the configuration in: 
  
Logistics Execution > Warehouse Management > Activities > Physical Inventory >
Clear differences (Interface to Inventory Management) and then select the top one -
MM-IM Movement types for clearing inventory. 
  
You will see in the SAP standard that 711 and 712 are for unrestricted stock. 
  
You need to copy the rest for your warehouse with Category Q, R and S which are
different movement types (713 to 718). 
  
This means that you can clear Blocked stock with movement types 717 and 718. 
  
  
Question:

When doing inventory management, when trying to clear the differences, system show
the following message: 
  
"Clearing only from storage type with no placement or removal strategy."  Can you
explain why? 
  
Answer: 
  
First check how many storage types that hold differences do you have? 
  
Usually there is only one storage type which is designed for inventory differences:
storage type 999. 
  
If you count in storage type XYZ and you have a difference.  Then you first clear the
difference in WM with LI20. 
  
This adjusts the quantity in XYZ and post the difference to storage type 999.   
  
Then with LI21 you clear the storage type 999. 
  
Notes: 
  
The material which you are trying to clear the difference is subjected to warehouse
management. 
  
You need to check for the storage type definition for the material in the material
master warehouse management view and check for the storage type settings in the
configuration: 
  
SPRO -> Logistics Execution -> Warehouse Management -> Master Data -> Define
Storage Type
