SAP WM Bin Stock LQUA ABAP Report Generator

LQUA is the table behind most WM stock reports. This generator produces two ABAP queries: a list of aged quants in one storage type, and a summary that counts quants per bin so you can spot mixed bins.

Quant detail with stock age

DATA lt_quant TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF ty_quant.

lv_cutoff = sy-datum - 180.

Quants per bin summary

TYPES: BEGIN OF ty_bin_sum,
         lgpla  TYPE lqua-lgpla,
         quants TYPE i,
         qty    TYPE lqua-verme,
       END OF ty_bin_sum.

DATA lt_bin_sum TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF ty_bin_sum.

SELECT lgpla
       COUNT( * ) AS quants
       SUM( verme ) AS qty
  FROM lqua
  INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE lt_bin_sum
  WHERE lgnum = '100'
    AND lgtyp = '001'
  GROUP BY lgpla
  HAVING COUNT( * ) > 1.

Notes

* VERME is the available quantity in the quant. GESME is the total including stock in movement.
* WDATU is the goods receipt date of the quant, used here as stock age.
* Bins with more than one quant are mixed stock or multi batch bins, which is useful for checking bin type rules.

Mixed old and new open SQL styles depend on the ABAP release; this code uses classic syntax that works broadly. Verify field names in SE11 for LQUA. On large warehouses the LQUA table can be very big, so always keep the warehouse number and storage type in the WHERE clause.

How to use the generator

Enter the warehouse number, storage type, plant and the stock age threshold in days. Copy the first block into a report to list quants older than the threshold. Use the second block when you want to find bins holding more than one quant. Paste the output into SE38 or into a class method, adapt the display to ALV, and run it in a test system first.

Understanding the quant fields

A quant is the smallest unit of stock in WM: one material, one batch, one special stock indicator in one bin. VERME is the quantity available for movement, while GESME is the total quantity including stock that is being moved. WDATU is the date of the goods receipt, and in FIFO strategies it drives which stock is removed first. If your aged stock list is long, check whether the FIFO strategy is active in the storage type.

  • VERME: available quantity
  • GESME: total quantity in the quant
  • WDATU: goods receipt date
  • BESTQ: stock category such as quality inspection or blocked

Common mistakes

People often sum quant quantities without checking the unit of measure. Quants are stored in the base unit of measure of the material, so mixing materials in a total is meaningless. Another mistake is comparing LQUA totals directly with MARD without allowing for stock in interim storage types and for special stock, which explains many small differences between WM and inventory management.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between VERME and GESME?

VERME is the quantity available in the quant. GESME is the total quantity, including stock that is already committed to pending removal or being moved. For stock availability use VERME.

How do I find mixed bins?

Use the second block, which groups quants by bin and counts them. Bins with more than one quant may hold different materials or batches. Compare against the bin type or storage type rules to see whether mixed storage is allowed.

Does the code handle special stock?

It selects all quants including special stock. Add a filter on the special stock indicator SOBKZ if you only want regular stock. Remember to include the special stock number in any output where it matters.

Can I use the same logic for EWM?

No. EWM stores quants in its own tables and uses different field names, and access is normally through the warehouse monitor or EWM APIs. Use the EWM table reference to see the equivalents.

If warehouse supervisors keep asking you for new stock cuts, Netray can set up a read-only assistant over your SAP data that answers these questions without writing new reports.
