Material Status : Restricted Procurement.

Dear Experts ,
I need to maintain the Plant status for procurement in such a way that :
1. No POs should be created against external vendor .
2. Stock Transfer Orders to be created . That  PO with vendor as site .
In define material status , plant specific settings , Purchasing  if i use B , the system stops creation of all POs .
Please tell me how can i control the creation of POs as stated above ?
Regards
Anis

Hello Experts ,
Thanks for your valuable inputs ,
@Satish Kumar - We need to restrict a few materials & hence we cannot do anything at the material type level .
@Prashant - Thanks a lot , it is a very helpful suggestion .
@Raja - We dont need to block the material at plant level , but need to restrict its PO usage .
@Indranil - ABAP development is a solution , but will always call for changes if one needs to add/delet the material usage restrictions .
@Jurgen - Procurement Type settings are at Material Type level . Hence will not server the purpose.
@SRK - Authorization is for an entire document type , we need the control for a material for all users & not user specific control .
Thanks all of u for the help.

  • Material Statuses based on the Purchase order Document type

    Hi Experts,
    We need to maintain the Plant material status based on the purchase order document type.
    Example - If I am using NB for normal purchase orders and ZB for STO procurement then, there should be a material status which should give warning message - 'do not use ' for ZB STO purchase orders and it should allow to create NB purchase orders for that same materials.
    Please advise what are the possibilities?
    Thanks

    Hi Gurus,
    Thank you for  your reply, Please find my replies below
    @@ - Mallinath - We need this restrictions for some type of materials ( with specific Material types) which should not be procured through inter company STO process, buying plant should use the normal purchase. for other Material types they should be able to use the inter company STO process.
    @@ DEV - We are already using the Spl. Procurement keys for inter company STO process.
    Example - Material type ZXYX should not use the inter company STO process, but it should be allowed all other processes.

  • CIF errors due to material status

    Hi All,
    We are having lot of CIF errors due to material status "40" in CIF, which restrict creation of P.reqs and PO at source location.
    Eg:- LOC1 is a manufacturing location and LOC2 is a Distribution centre. A new Product A introduced at both location, having status status "40" at both the location.
    When APO creates P.Reqs with source as LOC1 and Destination as LOC2 for this product, these p.reqs get stuck in CIF queue, as plant specific status "40" doesn't allow creation of P.Reqs at LOC1 in ECC.
    We thought of creating a new status "Z1", which would allow the creation of P.Reqs and PO. But the requirement was to allow only creation of P.Reqs and not PO. But in the config setting in ECC for material status there is common setting for P.Reqs and PO and cannot be differentiated.
    Have anybody come across such problem and whats the way to address this issue.
    Thanks & Regards
    Shankar

    Hi Shankar,
    Please check list of enahncements  in SMOD transaction. The enhacements related to Purchase documents start with "CIFPUR.."
    Or other path in SPRO is as below:
    In the ERP system under Integration with Other SAP Components >> Advanced Planning and Optimization >> Application-Specific Settings and Enhancements >>Settings and Enhancements for External Procurement.
    Because of the  blocked status of the material ,while transferring the PR/PO data,  the CIF prrogram -function call  for creating the purchasing document does not get triggered.   As written in earlier mail, the enhancement on SAP ECC  inbound  may not help, because, the material status is picked up from ECC ( or SAP R/3) material master data  and not  taken  from APO.
    Neverthless, you may please have a look at these enhancements.
    I hope this gives insight to you.

  • Material Status Report

    Hi Gurus,
    Is there any standard report for Material status.
    we are maintaining the status in OMS4.
    which we are using in Material Master like
    Blocked for procment/whse
    Blocked for task list/BOM
    These statuses for a particular material, i would like to know from any standard report.Pls suggest me.

    Hi
    The material status tells you whether a material is subject to restrictions, and what they are. For example, a material may be a part under development or one to be discontinued. The use of a material can be restricted in a number of ways:
    The material can be blocked for use in certain business activities by assigning one or both of the following material statuses to it:
    <b>Plant-specific material status</b>
    In the standard material master, this field appears on the Costing screen, MRP screen, Production Resources/Tools screen, Purchasing screen, Quality Management screen, and Work Scheduling screen.
    <b>Cross-plant material status</b>
    In the standard material master, this field appears on the Basic Data screen. It is valid for the whole client.
    <b>There is no standard report available for Material status display.You need to develop new report for this.Simple you can copy MM60 program RMMVRZ00 and this field in the same develop new program</b>. or
    You can get details from the table level.
    For cross plant status (Client level)
    Field: MMSTAE  and Table MARA
    For Plant specific
    Field: MMSTA and Table: MARC

  • Material status blocks creation of reservation in SRM

    Dear All,
    We observe the following behavior in our SRM (5.0) System:
    If we create a caddy for a product that has the Cross-Plant Material Status : 04 (Material master, view Basic Data 1) in the Backend-System, the reservation can not be created. There is a message indicating, that it is not possible to purchase the product.
    If we create the reservation for the same product direct in the Backen-System, there is no problem.
    This is OK, if we do external procurement, but internal procurement should not be blocked in SRM.
    Do you know where we have to customize this message?
    Thank you.
    Best regards,
    Thomas

    Hi Thomas
    understood.
    not possible to purchase the product --
    is it having a purchasing view in ECC .
    If you did not pull this materials in to SRM , how can you procure from SRM web portal.
    first you need to select this material via internal goods and services in the srm web portal . then only you can order a material from SRM.
    if you pulled a material from ECC to SRM and it must be in COMMPR01.

  • Material status in PO

    Experts,
    If I want to exlude / influence the material status (blocked for purchasing with error) check in PO type UB (Stock Transport Order), how to go about it? Is there a standard solution? This order type is used only for transfering stock within the company and not to purchase. It does not make sense to block this order type.
    Also, are there user-exits / BADIs to influence it? Would appreciate your inputs.
    UV

    Dear,
    I think you are getting error while creating STO for some material & trying to reectify that error.
    If my assumption was correct plz proceed like below,
    Check Material master MM03 - Basic 1 view >X-plant material status> Blocked for procurement(01)
    If avail plz take remove it.
    Also check MRP1 view...there is also an option to block the material for procurement.Plz remove it also
    Then create STO,

  • Reporting Material Status

    Dear All,
    I would need help in solving my issue: I have to make a report on Materials (for given markets) to see which one of them is LIVE (is still used) and which one is not used. I found 3 categories for 'Material status' in Material Master:
    -     Cross-plant material status
    -     Cross-distribution-chain material status
    -     Distribution-chain-specific material status
    My problem is that I don't know which one to use to define the STAUS of the given Material.
    Can anyone help me in this??
    Thank you in advance,
    Anita

    you missed a forth field: plant specific material status.
    you said you have to create a report on Materials (for given markets) to see which one of them is LIVE
    how do you know these markets from your material master? can they be identified by sales org, dist. channel and division?
    if yes, then you can concentrate on the sales statuses (distribution-chain material status)
    a status can be customized to restrict certain activies, but can as well be defined just as pure text without any restrictions.
    if you want use sales statuses for your report purpose, then make sure you are not in conflict with your SD consultant who may want to use the sales status differently.
    a Cross-distribution-chain material status effects any combination of sales org, dist. channel and division, while a 
    Distribution-chain-specific material status effects only one combination (the one where it is maintained )

  • Does material status control MRP running?

    Hi experts
    May I just check if material status could conrol the MRP running?  LIke we setup some parts as Y0- obsolete. but we found it still could generate Pr or Plan order....
    So does material status control the MRP running? Could we let obsolete part not run by MRP?
    Thanks
    Alice

    Hi,
    In addition to Mr.Brahmankar mentioned ways, you can exclude material from MRP run by selecting Procurement Type as No Procurement in MRP-2 View in Material Master.
    Also you can select X-plant / Plant specific Material status as :
    01     Blocked for procment/whse to block materila from MRP run.
    Hope this helps.
    Revert if any doubt.

    MATNR status:
    In our system the values for MARC-BESKZ are
    E     In-house production
    F     External procurement
         No procurement
    X     Both procurement types
    My requirement: I need to trace the MATNR from matnr_list for Material status does not allow purchase
    So, am thinking to write IF condn as,
    IF my_itab-matnr <> 'F' or my_itab-matnr <> 'X'.
    --> this matnr is Material status does not allow purchase
    ENDIF.
    Am I correct?

  • X-Plant Material status.

    Hi All,
    X-Plant material status means that we define a status saying that the material can be procured or blocked or not blocked.
    configuration path:-IMG Path: Logistics General -> Material Master -> Settings for Key Fields -> Define Material Statuses.
    My question is. these material status are created by us from the path mentioned above, but how does it stop the procurment.
    Please explain in detail.
    Regards,
    Ramya.

    Hi,
    If you are connecting between the systems this problem will araise.
    Material will be defined as per the product life cycle.The X-Plant status telling us where the item or material in the product life cycle.
    Based on the definition and design of the materail in the life cycle we can defined the items as described below:
    In general we have list of statuses and their meaning in the life cycle of the product
    X-Plant status - Meaning of that number
    01 - Obsolete
    03 - Hibernate/standby
    05 - Discontinue
    10 - Concept
    11 - Pending production
    15 - Engineering model
    20 - prototype
    30 - o-series
    40 - serial production
    45 - project production
    50 - specila production
    55 - phase out
    May be nubers will be changed as per their convinient and industry specific but the statuses of the items is same .
    Hope this will help to understand the concept of X-Plant status.
    Thanks

  • Material status at plant level

    Dear Guru's,
    Please suggest the material status or any other solution for blocking material for planning i.e. there should be no PR, planned order or sales order. But that status should not create problem while mass level changes for BOM, Routing, DMS.
    Status 90 in MRP 1 creating problem while applying mass level changes. Also tried 00 & 01 but they are allowing to create sales orders.
    Regards,
    SAP CONS

    Hi,
    Go to OMS4 & check the statuses & their values. Choose the one which meets your need. If none suits, then create one.
    You can prevent a material from being part of MRP run, while allowing to be in BOM by setting B & blank or A respectively.
    Revert if you face any issues.
    Regards,

  • Material statuses error message should go after entering Trackin No in PO

    Hi All,
    I have created one Material statuses with error message, I have created material with the use of that material statuses..
    Its working fine,At the creation of PR, PO I'm getting that Error message..
    My requirement is if I enter Requirement Tracking Number at item level of PR or PO means that Material statuses Error message should Go out and system has to allow to create PR or PO..
    Is it possible?? how to do it?? plz help me...
    Is it possible in standard SAp???
    thanks and regards
    rames reddy

    Hi,
    You can keep Requirement Tracking Number as Required Entry in field selection key (NBF or a copy of NBF as ZNBF) of PO document type in u201CReference data, itemu201D segment in following path:
    SPRO > Materials Management > Purchasing > Purchase Order > Define Screen Layout at Document Level
    And then assign field selection key to PO Document type and save.
    SPRO > Materials Management > Purchasing > Purchase Order > Define Document Types
    Now create PO with PO document type, system will ask you to enter Requirement Tracking Number in u201CItem Overviewu201D unless then you can save Purchase Order.
    The same you can do for PR document type by having a field selection key for PR document type.

  • How to validate material status in physical Inv Doc creation using MI01

    Hi Experts,
    I would like to know how to validate material status while creating physical inventory document using MI01 transaction.
    I tried to figure out a suitable BADI and customer exits ,but it didnt work out well.
    Kindly share your thoughts on how this can be achieved.
    Regards,
    Mohammed Aslam Rasheed

    Do you really create your inventory documents with this MI01 transaction manually by entering material for material?
    The real transaction for physical inventory is MI31. How do you want SAP to react if hundreds of materials are selected and inventory documents are created in a batch process?
    SAP takes care about the material status in MI04 and MI07 transactions.
    I am not aware of any exit for MI01 maintenance, you may consider Explicit and Implicit Enhancement Options
