Material variant replacement in sales order for Configurable Material

HI
I am using variant configuration. In this i have created material A as configurable material and have Preconfigured Material B as its variant by assigning configurable material in MRP 3 view.
Now when i am creating Order for material A i.e. Configurable material and the characteristics values are same as that of Preconfigured material system is not replacing Configurable material with Preconfigured material.
Please help me out.
Regards,
Anand.

Even after maintaining the item category MTAC(Mills Make to order config at mat level), the configurable material is not getting replaced in the sales order (va02). It is just showing material variant exists for the configurable material.
The setting in item category for configuration is.
Config. Strategy     01(Sales Order Strategy (TAC, TAM))
Mat. Variant Action  4 (Replace configurable material (Append and change))
ATP material variant 2 (Do not substitute if not completely available)
Structure scope      D (Configuration, poss. with BOM explosion)
I have maintained the stock for material variant as well to take care of ATP material varinat setting shown above.
Please suggest if missing something.

  • Creation of Sale Order for configurable material with availability check.

    Hi,
    We have a scenario in which the material is configurable. The configurable material (X) has few variants (Ex: X1, X2, X3, X4, X5). While booking the sale order, we use the material number (X).
    Further, the material planning is done for the variants X1, X2, X3, X4, X5. The standard variants are planned for production in advance.
    1.     While booking the sale order, we want the availability check of the stock (type matching to happen). What needs to be done in configuration?
    2.     While booking the sale order, there is a possibility that the configuration selected will not match with any of the standard variants due to some additional requirements of the optional features, in such cases how to link the standard variants to the sale order & create requirement for additional requirements.

    Hi Umesh,
               1.Create material master for configurable material and variants in mm01.
               2.Maintain BOM for the configurable material in CS01
               3. Configur the variant configuration steps
                  a. Create charecteristics T.code CT04
                  b. Create values and assign classes
                  c. assign the values to charecteristics
                  d . Maitain dependence  T.code CU01
                  e.create configuration profile t.code CU41
                  f.stimulate the configuration profile.
    4. Do the availability check configuration through this path
    IMG --> Sales and distribution > Basic functions ,> Availabilty check and Transfer of requirements.
    5. Maintain the Availbility check field and MRP views in the material masters other wise you sit with PP people and do that
    I hope it will help you

  • Problem creating a sales order for configurable material in SAP ECC

    I have a Variant Configurable material named X.
    The structure of this VC material is
    Material X has charatcertics CHARCTERISTIC1 and CHARCTERISTIC2.
    CHARCTERISTIC1 has values VALUE1
    CHARCTERISTIC2 has values VALUE2
    I created a sales order manually from VA01 using configurable material and read the values of all configuration tables to be filled from BAPISDORDER_GETDETAILEDLIST. With the help of this data i got an idea how to fill the tables of BAPI BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2. But still i am able to create a sales order but the configuration data that i give is not getting populated in the sales order.
    Where am i missing. please some body suggest. I am unable to debug and searched the forums
    for this information but dint find solution for my problem. some body please tell me where am i missing?

  • Supress VC in sales order for configurable material

    Hi,
    this might sound like a weird request but I am looking for a way to prevent variant configuration for a configurable material in a sales order.
    For internal process purposes we would like to create an intermediate sales order with a custom document type and custom item categories.
    When we create the document we reference 'real' sales orders which contain configurable materials.
    When copying those items over to the new custom sales order type, I'd like to prevent the VC for this item in the new order.
    The custom item category I set up is not marked as configurable (no configuration strategy/structure scope/etc...)
    I tried to do this with custom code in copy control but it still is bringing up the VC screen which I want to prevent.
    Appreciate any ideas which could help.
    Thanks,
    Markus

    Hi Markus,
    I believe whether the configuration screen should appear or not depends on whether the material is marked configurable or not in the master data. Therefore, it may not be possible to realize your requirement via the item category settings. You probably need to do some debugging to figure out where the configuration screen is called and then add some item category based check there.

    Hello, PP Gurus,
                       I am doing one MTO for Fabric business but during the confirmation I am getting error that
    SALES order Stock does not Exist as well Please inform me Costing procedure in this scenario.
    *is it necessary to run MRP in this scenario?*
    Please see the all Details of Business so that U can give answer properly.
    One is raw fabric (Raw material) which has to passed different process to convert Colored fabric as my Finish product as well I can sale Raw fabric also.
    is it possible to maintain raw fabric and Colored fabric with same mat.code?
    I have configured the material as well all pricing BOM, Recipe its working properly.
    How can I assign the material to Operation? I am getting GRAY field in New Assignment in change recipe mode ..
    Is it possible to use Material type other than KMAT? I want to use Finish material type. If yes How?
    Right now I can create Process order from the Sales order but I am facing error in confirmation that Sales Order stock does not exist than I have to transfered stock to Sales order and error get solved temporarily but  I want to avoid this manual transaction to remove this error. Any configuration is required please inform.
    My configuration is given below.

    How can I do ? please suggest any changes
    I have only 9 months of SAP experience within short time I have gain lot knowledge from this site and other reading material as well my learning Learning thirst.
    thanks to all SAP gurus..
    THANKS IN ADVANCE .... Definitely I will reward points even if my some questions get solved...
    Regards,

    Hi,
    You can use variant configuration for selling the colored fabric. Use the basic fabric as raw. and maintain variant configuarations to have many variants.
    Please use strategy 25. When you run MRP the planned orders will be generated and will be assigned to the sales orders. You can see it on the account assignment tab.
    In material master pleasse maintain Individual collective requirement indicator to 1-individual in the MRP-4 view.
    Then the stocks will be reserved to the specific sales orders.

  • Sales order for pipeline material type..

    Hi All,
    How can we raise the sales order for pipeline material..
    Is schedule lines will be there for the sales order raised for pipeline material???
    Rgds,
    Pavan

    Hi
    Seems you working on  IS Utilities, please corerct if Wrong and if I am wrong to guess you are working on IS Utilities then the next story dosn't make any sence.
    PIPEline material type is used for Materials such as oil, power, or water that flow into the production process directly from a pipeline, line, or other type of conduit. Since pipeline materials are always available, they are not planned.
    To answer specifically what you asked would be as follows:
    1. The fact that material type is PIPE from an SD standpoint is irrelevant
    2. lets consider your PIPEline material is power, your UOM should be Kilowatt hours and establish price for it.
    3. "deliver" the material and bill it.
    However, taking the whole business context of sale of electricity into account why you want to sell PIPEline material without using IS Utilities. Typically electrical utiltity requirements have some unique challenges not easily met by SD:
    1. Amount to be billed to the customer is from meter readings.
    2. The bill to the customer ( at least in North America) is not so much of an invoice as opposed to statement of accounts that includes meter readings, consumption history etc.
    I will suggest to look into IS Utilties first before getting into SD.

  • Material Variant Matching in Sales Order Creation with ref.to Sales Order

    Hi All,
    We are working in Variant configuration.Our product is defined at PQD(Product, Quality & Dimension).
    But, Sales Contracts are created at PQ (Product, Quality/Grade ) level only.
    We have defined Variant Characteristics GRADE(ALLOY CODE),DIMENSION AND TWO MATERIALS.
    MAT 1 , configurable material.
    MAT 2, A Material Variant of MAT 1, Having values of GRADE = A & DIMENSION = 150 in MRP 3 view of the same.
    When a Sales Order is created for MAT 1  and its characteristics values are GRADE = A, DIMENSION = 150, Material Variant type matching happens & it replaces the configurable material.
    Similarly,Sales  Contract is created for Configurable material MAT 1, with only GRADE = A ( As mentioned above, only quality is known at contract creation level).But, when we are trying to creart a Sales Order with reference to this Contract, we are trying to punch characteristic Value for DIMENSION = 150 also. At this stage, Materuial Variant MAT 2 is shown, but it is not replacing MAT 1.
    Is this the standard behaviour or there is some solution/enhancement available.
    regards,
    Stuti

    Dear Vijay,
    in incompletion procedure we can arrange to check whether any field is empty, here data comparison is not possible.
    As far as I know you can not achieve this through standard config.
    To achieve your requirement, you will need to take help of an ABAPer, it can be achieved using Userexit.
    ABAPer can use include MV45AFZZ
    and Userexit ""USEREXIT_SAVE_DOCUMENT".
    the code written in this userexit will check and compare the quantities before saving the dcument.
    Logic if quantity enter is greater than the quantity mentioned in Contract show warning Message.
    I hope this solves your Problem.

  • Production order without referance to sales order in configurable material

    Dear all,
    I am trying to create a production order for a configurable material. I dont have a sales order for that. And I can not even create a sales order for some reason.
    While creating a production order the system asks for  a account assignment (either a sales order or WBS).
    The error which comes while creation is ,
    Standard production only allowed with ref. to indivual customer stock
    Message no. CO542
    Diagnosis
    Direct order creation for a material to be configured is only possible if it takes place in relation to sales order stock since a configurable material only allows production for sales order stock. A sales order or a WBS element can serve as sales order stock.
    Procedure
    You should enter a sales order or a WBS element for account assignment.
    How to solve this.
    Thanks in advanmce.
    Sumeet

    Hi
    1.Create a CIR with transaction with md61
    2.You will get a reference number
    3. with that reference number you will be able to create a Produ tion order.

  • BOM explosion in sales order for configurable materials and variants

    Hi,
    I have these materials:

    C: configurable material 1 (position)
    D: configurable material 2 (position)
    E:variant material 1 (position)
    F:variant material 2 (position)
    I can in the sales order explode in this way the BOM (using SD01 application in the position type of the header material):
    1) A --> C+D
    2) B --> E+F
    while I can't make the explosion in this way: A --> EF and A --> CE
    is this possibile? I want to make an explosion of a BOM for a configurable material  and having variants material as sons, or having mix sons (one configurable and one variant)
    Thank you

    Hi Sandara,
    Just check the BOM in cs03 u have maintained !!! If u have maintain the variant material there in the config mat BOM with object dependencies than u can explode !!!!

  • Component Qty Increases during change in Sales order for CONFIGURABLE MATL

    Hi PP Gurus,
              I have setup a configurable material with a bom that has component quantities is computed by entering the characteristic values (length, width, thickness) in the SALES ORDER creation. When the go back to the sales order (VA02), and I change ONE CHARACTERISTIC value,  the component quantity changes as expected. However, when I select the header material then click the configuration icon to see the characteristic value and press back after seeing the values, the odd thing is that the component increases by a FACTOR (conversion of cubic inch to Liters, 61.023).
             When I change the setting in the CONFIGURATION PROFILE-> untick "manual change allowed in the sales order,  this STOPS the component quantity from increasing.
            I would really appreciate if someone can help me.
    Thanks,
    Heinrick Palad
    Edited by: Heinrick Palad on Feb 11, 2009 4:32 AM

    Hi Shaik,
        Yes, I have maintained an alternate unit of measure. The base unit of my component is LITERS (IN3) while my issuance unit / sales unit (unit in BOM) is CUBIC INCHES (IN3). It is interesting that the conversion from Liters to cubic inches is 61.023. WhY does it multiply by 61.023 everytime I tick on the CONFIGURATION ICON in the SALES ORDER while Im not changing anything in the CHARACTERISTIC values?..
        It continues to multiply by 61.023 if i repeat on ticking on the CONFIGURATION ICON and going back to SO header view (until it encounters an error, because of a value of quantity too large).
    Thanks,
    Heinrick

  • Costing Run for Configurable Material

    Hi,
    When I try to run costing run CK40N for KMAT material, I am geting information "No materials selected" for the 'selection' flow-step.
    Below is the Error description.
    No materials selected
    Message no. CK277
    Diagnosis
    Due to the costing variant used, no materials could be selected for the cost estimate.
    System Response
    No materials were selected.
    Procedure
    1. First, check that the materials you want to cost exist.
    2. Then go into Customizing and check the costing variant, the reference variant, and the transfer control. If the plant changes, a suitable transfer strategy must be entered in the transfer control belonging to the reference variant.
    Thanks in Advance,
    Shiva

    hi Shiva,
      It is not possible to do the cost calculation for configurable materials in CK40N or CK11N.
      To do the product costing it is mainly required the BOM and Routing, but in case of configurable materials the BOM and Routing are not fixed(here Super BOM/Super Routing are used with valid object dependencies which may result in "n" number of material variants)
    To do the costing for configurable material you can use t code - CU50 (configuration simulation)
    Here in CU50 you can select the characteristics values which ultimately selects the valid BOM and Routing required for variant production and do the costing and check.
    Please check
