ABC Indicator field in PM MODULE

Hi gurus,
I have a problem. I change a ABC Indicator value of Functional Locations to A via transaction IL02. However, when i get a report with transaction IW38, I dont see A value in ABC Indicator field in some of the Functional Locations. I am sure I have changed and saved the value of that field. What may be the reason? Do you have any idea? Thanks in advance....

Hi,
The value shown on IW38 will be the ABC Indicator as recorded on the order. When the order was created this value would have defaulted from the functional location. If you later change the functional location value, that is not updated on existing orders.
You can change the ABC Indicator value directly on the orders location tab (provided it is not completed).

ABC indicator in Material Master

Hi experts,
Could you please let me know if the ABC indicator field used in MRP1 view is Plant dependant or Plant independant?
We have 2 plants. So should we set this ABC indicator seperately for Plant 1 & Plant 2?
Thanks,
Pri

ABC INDICATOR:
Indicator that classifies a material as an A, B, or C part according to
its consumption value. This classification process is known as the ABC
analysis.
The three indicators have the following meanings:
o   A - important part, high consumption value
o   B - less important part, medium consumption value
o   C - relatively unimportant part, low consumption value
So we can say that this information in Material master is plant specific (Plant dependent)
Logically if we think the material which is of high importance and have high consumption in one plant need not have to be important with same level of consumption in another plant.
Rerward if it is helpful
Regards
Pavan
So when doing the bifercation of the materials based on their importance it is plant which is of utmost importance

Mandatory check for ABC Indicator- MRP1 view

Dear All,
I want to make ABC Indicator mandatory for ROH material type and to the particular plant. How can I achieve this?
I tried to change in customization (Change 'Field selection for data screens' ), but its effecting other fields also. because in the field selection group 51 has so many other fields.
Should I have to create new field section group & field reference Or any other way? Need your valuable guidance.
Thanks.

hi Vijay,
if you want to control it thru configuration then you have to create a new field selection group and then you can make the ABC indicator mandatory.
you can also use the user exit in material master which will throw an error message at the time of saving of material master if the ABC indicator field is blank.

Difference "abc indicator" in MRP1 & "cc phys inv ind" in plant data stor1

Hello,
we want to do cycle counts and I noticed that there are two different field in the material master for that.
I think they have a different purpose?
"ABC indicator" field in MRP1 view
and
"cc phys inv ind" field in plant data/ stor 1 view
Can somebody please explain the difference?
Thanks
Anne

MC40 and MC41 dont need customizing, setting can be made in selection screen.
ABC analysis for cycle count MIBC needs customizing.
In MRP1 view the field name is MARC-MAABC while on storage location view the field name is MARC-ABCIN.
The one on storage location view is used for cycle count, and includes ABC and D, and is caclulated by MIBC transaction.
The indicator in MRP1 view is calculated and updated by MC40 and MC41 transaction
MICN is the only one that can update the indicator used for cycle counting.
if you execute both transaction with same settings, then there should be the same result.
However, pretty often the cycle count indicators are precalculated by MICN based on consumption, but then individual items are changed to get a different indicator for specific reasons.
You may have a low value item, which is very important for your processes.
Based on consumption values it may get indicator C, but if you have differences on that item then it is a critical factor for your business, hence you want count it more often, thus you would manually change it to B or even A. (which can be done directly from the MICN report)
The focus on both indicators can be equal in many companies, but may also be different in other companies, hence you need 2 indicators for ABC analysis

Auto populate field 'ABC Indic' under Organization tab in IE01/IE02/IE03

Hi Folks,
I need to Autopopulate the selected value for the 'ABC Indic' dropdown within the 'Location Data' group, under 'Organization' tab in IE01/IE02/IE03, based on a given Business condition for equipment numbers.
The field pertains to ABCKZ of table ILOA (And subsequently in the database view ITOB)
This standard field is made visible in the transactions via configuration.
I understand that I need to make this change using the User exit 'EXIT_SAPLITO0_002'. However, I do not seem to be having a handle to the field ABCKZ as an exporting/changing parameter in any of the exporting structures ISTRU_EQ / ISTRU_EZ / IFLO_USR1). Since this is not a custom field , i am not sure if I must include it as a custom include in one of the afore mentioned structures. ( Even if this were to be done, IFLO_USER1 [which is the exit mod structure for ILOA] does not have a Customer Include)
All I need is a handle to the field, so that i can make the required change and the update will happen without any further interventions.
Any pointers to this issue would be very helpful.
Thanks and Regards,
Puja.

Hi Puja,
Try this badi
Badi:
EQUI_UPDATE Equipment Master Data
Alternative Exits:
ITOB0001 PM: Customer include subscreen for techn. obj. master d
ITOB0002 ITOB: Field changes to copy model
ITOB0003 PM: Customer Include subscreen for fleet object data
ITOB0004 PM: Customer Exit fleet identification data: Checks
Badi:
FLEET_DECOUPLING Interface for Decoupled Part of Fleet Management
INST_AUTHORITY_CHECK PM/CS Enhanced Authorization Checks
Thank you,
Thanks,

Mandatory field for ABC indicator

Hi,
I would like to make the ABC indiator field to be mandatory on MM01 and MM02 transaction. I've tried to config this under SPRO and OSM9 but couldn't find the right group or object. Do you have any steps that can help me on this?
Thanks,
Tai

<b><i>Background info.
The values of the field selection groups have been preassigned as follows:
001-110 Material master for industry
111-120 Reserved for customers (except where the values are already in use)
121-150 Material master for industry
151-210 Material master for retail
211-240 Reserved for customers</i> </b>
Step by step
1. Transaction code OMSR. Change Selection Group to 211 for example. Save.
2. Transaction code OMS9. Enter 211 into Field sel. group. (MARC-MAABC now should be in a list of fields).
3. Double-click the relevant field reference. Say MM01.
4. Change MM01 to required.
5. Save.

Updation of ABC indicator in Material Master

Hi,
For ABC analysis, I carried out it according to T_code MC40(Usage value). I got the category of material. For eg "A".But how the ABC indicator updates in Material master.Because I couldnt get indicator in MRP1 view.
Whats the right way? Pls guide me.
Thanks,
Goraksh.

Hi,
Update of consumption is based on movement type, and you can decide which movement types should have or have not consumption updating.
Check in transaction OMJJ if the movement types in question have indicator "Consumption posting" (field V_156_VC-KZVBU) as marked.
If it is the case, consumption is updated, opposite for un-ticked.
Hope that helps.
Thanks.

ABC indicator removal

Hi
Having some clarification cycle count indicator...
1) How to mass remove the ABC indicator set for the material master ?
ie, mass change from a indicator specified to blank field.
I believe this is kind of basic qsnts, really appreciated your support.
Thanks
MM

Hi,
Just tested this out in my system and it works. Here's what I did.
1) Execute MM17
2) Choose Fields Tab --> Search for MARC-ABCIN and then highlight and execute
3) Enter Material and Plant then execute
4) At the new values line, leave it blank then, click on carry out mass change button
5) Save
Even with CC Fixed indicator checked, I am still able to change the value to blank.
Hope this helps

ABC Indicator for Equipment & Functional Location Same or Different

Hi All,
We can find ABC indicators in both Equipment & Functional Location (FL) master data.
Q. Please tell me....whether these fields are different for Equipment & FL or same??
Problem is that I could see the same field name ABCKZ for both Equipment & FL in tables V_EQUI & ILOA respectively.
Sundar

Hi Sunder
*The ABC indicator can be entered in equipment as well as functional locations.*
An indicator that is assigned by the procedure of ABC analysis.
The following ABC indicators are possible:
A - Important
B - Less important
C - Relatively unimportant
According to these criteria, "A" materials are those materials that are of greatest importance for the production operations of a company.
Examples of use for ABC indicators are vendor master records, material master records, and master records of *technical objects.*
So ABC indicator is same for equipments and Functional LocationBUT value may be diferent

Equipment ABC indicator mapping

Hi PM Gurus
Need some help I need to fill up three fields in technical object master data which is existing.
1.     Technical object type u2013 ( like rotating , fabricated , instruments etc..)
2.     Catalog profile u2013 ( sub classification based on identified object type like pump in a rotating object type)
3.     ABC indicator u2013 ( should be identified based on established parameters like frequency of failure and repair cost)
For 1&2. Technical object type - i had used the EQUI - long text field and if any match found like pump then it was identified as rotating equipment and pump catalog profile fileds are filled up . (Any best practices for mapping similar to this approach)
Any best practices / Mapping of fields to obtain the frequency of failure (like <1 year, 1-3 year , 3-10 year) & Repair cost of technical object ( based on this ranking of ABC indicator is to be carried out)
Thanks

HI
A, B, C indicators are used to classify technical objects according certain criteria such as importance from production point of view say A- denoting those objects failure of which causes production loss & critical to the process & multiple implications in process
B - causes partial production loss
C-causes no production loss (have standby)
This indicator has to be assigned to technical object prior to transactions & you will get the failure analysis once you do transactions over a period of time. After wards you will come to know about the failure frequency & it will not follow any pattern. Hence failure to be analysed based on object class/object type/damage/cause/object part & also location & manufacturer etc.
