Stock in previous periods can be a useful indicator in analyzing your stock positions through time per material or material group. Standard SAP report MC.9 offers this functionality:
MC.9 stock in previous periods
MC.9 can present you with multiple historical stock levels and values at the end of each period. Important tables for this report are S031 – Statistics: Movements for current stocks, S032 – Statistics: Current Stock and Grouping Terms and S034 – Statistics: Movements for current stocks.
The stock level and value of the previous period is also displayed in the material master’s Accounting 1 tab:
Accounting tab 1 - Stock previous period
Important tables here are MBEW and MBEWH, MARD and MARDH or MCHB and MCHBH. The ‘H’-tables represent historical records. If there is not a historical record in the H table, but there is one in the ‘current’ table, the historical value is the same as the current value.
Comparison of stock levels between MC.9 and the material master is rather straightforward. These should match. Comparison of stock value is more complicated. MC.9 offers four valuation methods to choose from. Material master offers another. As a rule of thumb: on plant level the standard value in MC.9 can be compared with the stock value in the material master, accounting view. SAP note 506077 provides some background on stock controlling valuation.
If the values in the material master and MC.9 don’t match, then check the update rules (e.g. for infostructure S031 and S034). How are your periods defined there? This can be found at IMG > Logistics General > LIS > Logistics Data Warehouse > Updating > Updating Control > Activate Update. This is just a pointer, there may be other reasons.
Update period for Inventory Controlling
Update week 7/09
The total of LIS structures and its valuation methods for Inventory Controlling is rather complex. I recommend the following SAP notes if you really need to get acquainted with the workings and get guidance on how to update the structures

Hello and thanks for this post. I’m trying to use MC.9 for the first time. A plant director wants me to delete a bunch of matierials and I just want to cross reference to make sure stock is zero before deleting. I looked to MC.9 instead of MB5L, but some of the items created for that plant don’t show up in MC.9. Can you tell me why some items created at the plant don’t show up in MC.9 report for that plant? I thought about them not having been created in the period (I am pulling for current month) but maybe the problem is that there has been absolutely no movement.
I am back because I am again trying to cross check to confirm zero stocks before deleting articles. My boss insists that I use MC.9 but I think that I should be using MB5L if I want to quickly check stock levels for a bunch of articles. Is there some other transaction I should use instead?
Hello Dave,
If you are just taking current month stock why don’t you use MB52?
Uncheck “No zero stock lines” to have also zero value lines displayed.

E.

Reply to Nigels question, Ask Tony.
Good work.
I need to know whether there is any LIS stock report for special stocks such as “Individual customer stock”?(stock type “E”).
As far as I know, currently MC.9 does not include this special stock(Perhaps I am wrong).
Appreciate if you can advise me how to achieve this. Many thanks in advance.
Yep! MC.9 does not count special stock type e in its table.
Then if you want to use MC,9 for any purpose, please keep in mind and inform all related people for this issue and have awareness when you got any question when there is someone compare report between MC.9 with MB5b/MB5L.
It is a nature of MC.9 that SAP denied to fix this issue in anyway.
Hope this help,
choke
Hi all,
so is it impossible to get a transaction that shows all the stock x storage location (included special stock) at posting date?
tks
I have the same problem… I will open a ticket to SAP support, does not make sense that special stock ‘E” is not included in S032… for example, it is included in S004 (sis table for sales), so, I wonder why it is not included in S032!
I want to see the returns in a previous period for all my product lines under MB52, how can that be achieved? if not through this particular report which one can help me?
Can you please let me know the procedure to find list of material purchased in 2013 & 2014 but not consumed till date through MC.9
hi! I just want to know that how to delete multiple quotations in one go…. is there any transaction??? please help.
