Material determination with Product selection

Hi SAP Gurus
We are using material determination with product selection. The process is that customer will send in one product in a sales order. At the time of doing ATP we have to look for about three or four possible alternatives and confirm that alternative which has the highest stock level depending on the ATP situation. We have configured material determination with SAP standard substitution reason’0006’ to take care of this. The problem with this is that this creates two line items in sales order as the item substituted is shown as a sub-item of the material entered. We do not want to have two line items in a sales order for this. Is there a way we can do material determination with product selection (Based on ATP) and have the item substituted replace the item entered in a sales order? In other words we do not want to see two line items in a sales order. The substitute item should simply replace the original item and the material entered could be stored in field VBAP-MATWA. I have gone through all the standard SAP documentation which clearly states that in order to material determination based on ATP we have to use outcome A or B both of which create a sub-item.
I was wondering if there is any workaround or if there is any user exit in which we can replace the original item with the substituted item?? Any help or any direction will be highly appreciated.
Another question is if we were to use APO for doing global/Rule based ATP is it possible to get rid of the double line items. We have also tried to use rule based ATP in APO and use product/location substitution in our sandbox system to see if we can get back only one line item. But even in that case we do get a sub item. Any help on this issue will be greatly appreciated. You can also send me an e-mail at [email protected]

  • Material determination Vs Product selection

    Hi
    What is the difference between Material determination and Product selection ?
    Regards
    Mahesh

    Hello Mahesh,
    <b>Material determination or Product selection</b>
    1.     Material determination <b>(sometimes referred to as product selection)</b> is a method in SAP-SD to substitute or swap one material in the sales order for another using the condition technique and is triggered by the material entered in the line item of the sales order. Material determination can also use a pop-up window with a number of products the user can choose from the list.
    2.     Material determination can be automatic or manual and is used
         When an old product is becoming obsolete (outdated) and the business is releasing a new product in its place starting from a specific date. In this case the old item gets automatically replaced by the new item in the sales order.
         You may configure the system to automatically to swap one material for a number of other materials, the one material being determined based on which one is available.
         It is also possible to swap the material for a number of materials, where the user is presented to choose from the list.
         Material determination is specifically useful should you wish to swap your customer’s part number automatically for your own at the time of the sales order.
    <b>The functionality of manual and automatic product selection is available during material determination.</b>
    a.     Reason for substitution 0005: manual product selection (list of default values)
    b.     Reason for substitution 0004 & 0006: automatic product selection (depends on product availability in order and delivery)
    In manual product selection (0005), the system does not automatically replace the product. Instead, it displays a list of all the substitution materials and other information in the master record doing the availability check such as quantity available that can be confirmed on the customers requested delivery date and if the full quantity cannot be met, the system proposes a new date on which the material can be completely delivered. You can then select the required material from the list.
    During automatic product selection (0004 & 0006) the system replaces the entered material automatically if it is not available. When you enter an order, the system tries to fill the quantity of the order with the first material in the material determination master record. If there is no enough quantity available then it fills the remaining quantity with the next material.
    You can choose whether or not to run the material determination during the delivery process for the same material, as the result of the substitution may change due to the new availability situation of the material.

  • Material determination with outcome B

    Hi all,
    We are using material determination functionality. Automatic reason with Outcome B. As per SAP help, the Material is determined at SO level and it is copied over to DO . No availability check in DO and material is not redetermined at DO.This is exactly I am trying to achieve so using outcome B is used. But when I create DO, only the higher level item is getting copied and also with Zero quantity. So I can not proceed with DO. Has anyone come across this problem before? What is the copy control I need to maintain if I am using outcome B
    Please help.
    Regards,
    Beena

    Hi,
           In a delivery referring to an order, material determination is carried out subject to the sales document type on which it is based. Material determination in a delivery is carried out for new items if material determination has been activated for the underlying sales document type. No material determination is carried out for items copied from the order. You have to assign an appropriate material determination procedure (in the standard R/3 system, it is A00001) to the Sales document type DL so that material determination can be carried out in deliveries without reference to an order (LO).
    reward if its useful.

  • Material determination with ATP-CHECK.

    I want use the material determ after the stock ATP-CHECK.
    the need detail is that:
    first the sales order item run the atp-check ,if the stock cannot supply all the requested quantity ,the shortage quantity will use the material-substitution,by the choose screen or automatic create the new item.otherwise,if the stock is enough to supply,not to run the funciton material determinaton.
    this is the all  my want,whether is it can be carry out and how to configure the sap setting.

    Hi Lee,
    The standard system supports this. While creating the material determination records in Tcode VB11., while entering the we give the material entered and in the column material you have to give this same material first and by clicking the ICON 'Alternate Materials' on the Application Tool Bar you can give the sequence in which the substitution take place.
    Hope this explains your query. If this is not clear please mail me to [email protected]

  • Batch Determination with SLED Selection Using LOBM_RLZ

    Hi All,
    I am trying to determine Batches at the time of Goods Issue against Production Order (i.e. Movement Type 261).
    These are the steps I have used.
    1. Created a Batch Class with Standard Characteristics LOBM_RLZ, LOBM_VFDAT, LOBM_LFDAT.
    2. Assigned this class to the Material Master of the Component and marked the material relevant for Batch and SLED.
    3. At the time of GR for the component, the Batch is generated with the Expiration Date.
    3. Created the Batch Determination Rule using Condition Table ME01 for movement type 261, plant and component.
    The Search Criteria is to select a Batch with LOBM_RLZ >=1 day.
    4. Now at the time of Batch Determination in CO27 (Picking TCode) the determination is failing. I can check in MB5M there are two batches of the Component available in stock with Remaining Number of shelf life as 2 days and 370 days.
    Can anyone suggest what might be missing?

    Are you using a separate batch selection class versus the batch class?
    There are characteristics that must be in the selection class, but cannot be in the batch class.
    See OSS note 33396.
    1.  If you want to search for batches on the basis of a remaining shelf
             life in batch determination, the system has to calculate a requested
             shelf life expiration date dynamically from the information you
             give.
         2.  Add characteristic LOBM_VFDAT to the batch classes.
             For the revaluation of reference characteristics, refer to Note
             78235.
             Characteristics LOBM_RLZ and LOBM_LFDAT must not be included in the
             batch classes!
         3.  Add characteristics LOBM_VFDAT, LOBM_LFDAT, and LOBM_RLZ to the
             selection classes.
             Maintain a remaining shelf life in the strategy records for batch
             determination. Relational operators (> , < , <= , >=) are considered
             in the dynamic calculation of the shelf life expiration date in
             batch determination.
    From your note you have placed LOBM_RLZ  and LOBM_LFDAT in your batch class.  You cannot do that.

    Hi mschall,
    You might take a look at photoshop elements 11 and adobe has a thirty day fully functionally try/buy trial.

  • Free goods with combination of material determination

    Hi All,
    I have Materil X for this free good is Y.  But for material Y there is material determination with A. In this case what will happen while i am entering the material X in the sale order/
    As of my knowledge freegoods don't support for any special function like BOM & vairant config. I don't know about the material det.
    Please clarify this doubt.
    Regards
    Sunil

    Hi Sunil,
    You can see Material Determination and Free goods as two seperate issues.
    For material X, Material Y will be a free good only when material Y is available in stock. The system will not substitute materiail Y with material A just because you have material determination configured for the same.
    On the other hand, if you enter material Y on its own i.e. seperately at the line item level of the sales order..........then material determination will occur and the item will be substituted by material A.
    See both of them as two seperate scenarios.
    Hope its clear.............

  • Pricing issue with Product hierarchy - Urgent

    Hello,
    I have an issue on pricing determination with product hierarchy.
    I created product hierarchy as following,
    level1 - A0001
    level2 - A0001B0001
    level3 - A0001B0001C0001
    Then, assigned A0001B0001C0001 to material D in material master.
    I created condition record with A0001B0001C0001(level 3),  the system found the condition sucessfully when I created a sales order with material D.
    However, I created condition record with A0001(level1) but the system didn't get the price when I created the sales order with material D.  Since A0001B0001C0001 belongs to A0001, the system is supposed to get the price from the condition record with A0001... 
    Could you please let me know how to fix it?

    Hi,
    Thanks a lot for your kind explanation.
    Here is the access sequence I defined.  I wonder if there is anyway I can define PRODH1, PRODH2, PRODH3 in access sequnce the same way with customer hierarchy so that the system can check higher level data.  If it's not allowed, I think I should define routine in requirement as you advised.  Thanks!

  • SAP SD Material Determination not reflected in assigned sales document type

    Hi Experts,
    I have implemented customized material determination, with requirement to change the UoM of the entered material, from GJ to MJ. I have assigned the procedure to 3 document types:
    1. sales order type
    2. credit memo request
    3. debit memo request
    However, this setup is only reflected in the 1st sales document assigned with the procedure. It is not reflected in the credit or debit memo request.
    I have turned on the material determination analysis in sales order. Per my checking during credit memo request creation, the analysis indicated that the condition is found successfully. But the UoM did not change in the document.
    Please assist.
    Thank you.

    Hi Ravi,
    Thx for your reply.
    But I am creating credit/debit memo request without reference to billing.
    When I create credit/debit memo request, the material determination is triggered.
    Per my test today for credit memo request, I found that the material determination is triggered.
    However, the substition UoM is not reflected in the credit memo request document.
    The result is reflected only in sales order.
    Please help.

  • Product selection with outcome B

    Hi all,
    I would like to know which item category  and schedule line category to be used if I am using outcome B in material determination functionality.
    Can anyone help me with this configuration.
    Regards,
    Beena

    Hi,
    For product selection with outcome B, The higher level item category is TAX(Non stock item) with schedule line category CX(No inventory mgmt.).
    Item category of product selection is TAPS (Std.Item PS) it comes with Schedule line category of PN( Selection without MRP) and PP (Selection with MRP).
    These are all standards. If you would like to configure new item & schedule line category that is also possible for particular order type.
    Hope, it is useful to you.

  • Valuation with material cost estimate: error with product "117122"

    Hi people,
    We have the error:
    =====================
    Valuation with material cost estimate: error with product "117122"
    Diagnosis
    In Profitability Analysis (CO-PA), the system tried to valuate a line item using the current standard cost estimate.
    In order to determine the current plan period, the system needs to read the valuation segment of the material master.
    The system has found that the current plan period is not filled forproduct "117122" in plant "UBE1".
    We have the follow configuration in trans.: KE40:
    . Determine material cost estimate
       . Transf. Standard Cost Estimate
    . Costing Variant
    . Control Data for Standard Cost Estimate
       . Period Indicator = "Current Standard Cost Estimate acc. to entry in mat master
    . Addiitonal data CO-PC
        . Transfer cost estimate in controlling area currency  "activated"
    We think the reason about our error is because the field above is activated and some configuration more is necessary for this case. For examplo: Trans.: OKYW and this one was not configurated yet.
    Do you know what happend?
    If we need to configure some transation, or sonly process the cost estimate?
    Thanks,
    Rosana.

    Hello Guido
    Thank you very much for your return.
    It is happenning in a Client that some people are doing the configuration.
    Before we didin't have in KE40, the fiel "Transfer cost estimate in controlling area currency" activated.
    And now, the people activate that in this new Client and I don't know the impact about that.
    I think we have to make the configuration in OKYW.
    The other transation you told me, we don't have any information.
    Could you tell me some other idea what happend?
    Message error is just "Message no. KE350"
    Abou claculate the cost:
    It was calculated by trans.: CK11N for future planning and the real wasn't not possible to release because this material already have moviments.
    Could you tell us is there is some thing more to do?
    Thanks,
    Rosana.

  • Automatic batch determination with fixed batch number for production order

    Hello all,
    I want to create a production order where the batc number can be assigned for one component as Batch fixed value once the order is released.
    1.- I have created the characteristic (CT04) assigned to the table MCHA and field CHARG (Batch number) and one value: LINER.
    2.- I have created the class (CL02) and assign to this the characteristic.
    3.- I have created the sort ZSORT and the batch (MSC1N).
    4.- I have checked the classification in the material and it has assigned correctly the class and characteristic and the MRP2 view has the backflush = 1, batch entry = 3 and the prod. stor. location = COIL.
    5.- I have created the strategy (COB1, strategy type CO02) and assigned the selection criteria and sort.
    6.- I have created the order (CO01).
    7.- I was releasing the order and the batch number was assigned but, with numbers!! and I need assign this with fixed value = LINER.
    Could you help me please? How can I do it?

    Thank you for your respone, but, doing more researching, let me explain you with more detail:
    1.- I am going to the transaction CO02 in order to release the order, but, before it, I am checking the component by Go to > Overviews > Components.
    2.- Then, I am selecting my component and making a click in "Batch determ. " button.
    3.- The system is showing me many batch numbers and I select the "Selection criteria" button and the system said: "Selection class "LINERBATCH" does not contain any selection criteria". But, it has a characteristic that I have created before.
    4.- Then, I select in the new screen "Selection criteria: Origin..." the"create" button.
    5.- The system selection my class from the material classification and when I go back to the last screen, finally the system is showing me my batch: LINER.
    Do you know why my selection criteria with my selection class is not working in automatic?
    Thank you for your time and support.
