No characteristic value of the material in PO

Hi,
I am testing the configuration material. I've maintianed a class of class type 200 in BOM, and get the PR after running MRP. No any field or view in PO to display the characteristic value of material. How to get it? I thought it should be display somewhere in PO and in the GR view, because the buyer should know what product they should get and the inspector should know what should be inspect and the pass level.
Thanks!

Hello,
I checked all the tab in PO and PR, but no any icon to see the characteristic.
I've created a PO for a material which was maintain a class of class type 001, then I've seen the icon 'configuration'.
Is it necessary to maintain a class of class type 001 for the material related class item in BOM? The on line help told that could create some materials with different characteristic value of one characteristic assigned to a class of class type 200, then maintain this class in BOM. System will pick the right material according to the characteristic value in SO.
I am confused that why have to create some materials to do that because this application is to reduce redundance of material. I thought one material is enought, which will be required by the characteristic value and taking this value in PO. Do I have to maintain the class 001 for this? If yes, how can I get the characteristic value of class 001 from same charactieristic in the class 002?

  • Characteristic values for the material and plant combination...

    Hi Friends,
    I would like to know how can we maintain the characteristic values for the combination of Material and Plant though the material is not batch managed?
    Thanks in advance,
    Ram

    Hi Rajendra,
    Thanks for quick reply. I am maintaining under classification view but it does not ask plant any where. So the value will be same across all the plants but i want to maintain characteristic values separately under each plant for same material.

  • Replicating Characteristic Values of a Material to Equipment

    Hi,
    We are creating a Material Master with Classification View. In this view, we have assigned a Class (Class Type 001) with several Characteristics. Characteristic Values are also assigned to each of these Characteristics.
    We are also creating Equipment Master for the above Material at the time of GR. This Equipment Master has a Class of Class Type 002. But this Class has some Characteristics that are common with the Material Master. The Characteristic Values are also the same.
    Is it possible to automatically populate the Characteristic Values from the Material Master to the Equipment Master for the common ones ?
    (Requirement is to search for Equipment Numbers based on Characteristic Values in the corresponding Material Master. In IH08, we are unable to do this. So is it appropriate to think of assigning the same characteristics in the Equipment Master and assign those characteristic Values? We feel that it is amounting to duplication and prone to mismatch.)
    Request suggestions please.
    Regards,
    Raj

    Pete,
    The values have to be copied when an Equipment Master is created at the time of GR and you are right ... we cannot allow modification of the characteristic values in the Equipment Master independent of the Material Master !! Both has to be in synch for those common characteristics.
    I will also check with our ABAP team to explore enhancement spots in IH08.
    In our case, both the material serial number and the equipment number are kept synchronous. Is there anyway where we can search Serial Numbers based on the Characteristic Values in the corresponding Material Master?
    Thanks for your inputs.

  • Generate change documents for characteristic value changes in material master

    Hello,
    I am currently using material class (class type: 001) and assign some characteristics to material master. I am going to create a query/custom report to track all changes in the characteristic values in that material master. However, I could not find any change document in CDHDR table.
    I have activated "Change Docs" parameter in class type 001 customizing as described in SAP note: 65124 Classification Change Documents as follow:
    Is it possible to generate change documents for characteristic values in material master?
    Regards,
    Julian

    Hi Rajen,
    Thanks for your reply. It seems that I missed one more step in the customizing. Once the multiple object is activated, I need to activate the change document parameter for each assigned object.

  • Lock characteristic value for configurable material in Sales Order

    Is there a setting in SAP which can prevent user changing characteristic value for configurable material in Sales Order after production order created for this Sales Order? Currently, it can only works when first delivery create for this Sales Order.
    Thanks a lot.

    Hi,,
    in the characteristic goto additional data tab,
    you have a field called not ready for input.
    you select this when the value in this characteristic come by calculation based on the previous selection.
    that field will be greyed out.
    OR
    u can even select the no display check box,
    by selecting this u cant see the characteristic in the list,, it will give u a popup before leaving the screen.
    for this the char has to be a required field.
    OR
    if any of this is not working then may be u can try out with authorization management.
    thanks

  • Ordering Characteristic Values in the order that you restrict them

    Hi SAP Network,
    I have created a BEx query and used up the 2 structures in the Rows area.
    I have then placed a characteristic in the columns area and restricted the characteristic .
    This characteristic in essence acts like a third structure.
    The ordering of the characteristic values when the query is executed is by alphabetical order.
    Are you aware if it is possible to have the same order displayed, as to which you drag the characteristic values onto the characteristic, ie. in the order that you choose.
    Thank you in advance.
    Simon

    Hi there,
    No it is not possible to make the characteristics sort by the order in which you restricted them.
    One weay you could achieve this is by having a sequence navigational attribute (example values: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 etc)  and in the sorting of your characteristic use sort by attribute.
    Best Regards

  • Changes in stock value of the material even after closing period

    The client closes the accounts every month end. Say they close the books of accounts for the month of Jan’07 on 31st Jan 2007. After closing the account they are running MC.9 to know the stock value of different plants for the previous month. i.e.  for the month of Jan’07. But every day when the client runs the MC.9 they found some differences in the stock price & quantity.
    For better understanding, consider they close the period on 31st Jan. When they run the MC.9 on 2nd Feb it shows the value say 100$ and qty of 100. When we run the same report on 4th Feb the value got changed to say 98$ and qty remain same. Again when we run on 6th Feb the value is changed again to say 102$ and stock is 100.
    We checked the MB51 with posting date & entered date. We could not find any back posting.
    What could be the reason for the  variation in the stock price & qty ? Any pointers will be highly appricated.

    Hi Venkat,
    Your previous posting talked about variation in stock value and now you are saying that there are changes in stock qty also. So the better option would be to check those material which has variation and compare them with other standard reports to get a solution. Export the list of material to an excel sheet and compare them with that of the other reports. This would help you to find the materials which has changes and you can narrow down to the root cause. Once you get the material then u can go by posting date and find the movements.
    Hope this helps. Reward if u find it useful.
    regards

  • How to create a Credit Memo Req by changing the value of the material price

    Hello,
    We have a requirement where we are want to change the value while creating a credit memo request wrt Billing doc.  Is there a way to change the price of the material rather then the qty on the credit memo request?  The system allows only Qty change and not the price change.
    Pelase help!
    Arpita Rani

    Update the price condition record first. Then in the credit memo - go to conditions and click on update button, select option - copy manula elements and redetermine others.
    ALso you can check the copy controls from your Invoice to CM Reqest (VTAF) @ item level - check price Type B. If the condition record is diferent from the one on billing, thenyou will get updated price in your cmr.

  • Pricing based on the characteristic value of the variant

    Dear experts ,
    I have a material that has source inspection active .
    Its inspection characteristics are P1 & P2  depending on the value of which the net price changes.
    When a PO is created , quality inspection lot is generated , result recording is done where the value of P1 & P2 are entered .
    GR is done .
    Now based on the value of P1& P2 correct price shud be picked at the time of GR.
    Is this possible ?
    Regards
    Anis

    Dear Anis,
    This is very much possible. In fact dairy industry works on the same principle. The pricing takes place only after Inspection lot characteristics are posted.
    This is long exercise, wherein you need to maintain certian special condition types and access sequences. You can get more information at buidling block library Link: [http://help.sap.com/bp_bblibrary/600/BBLibrary_Start.htm]
    Check G95: Dairy procurement.
    Hope this helps.

    EX:A functional location(XXXX) has a Characteristic(xxx) has  value as "1"
    we have created an user status as"xxx" for the order(through status profie).Now,My requirement is
    When i have created a maintenance order for the functional location(XXXX),upon on saving of the order,or Assigning the priority for the maintenance order,i want the user status has to be modified as "XXX".
    Could you please tell us what to do?
    is our requirement will be fulfilled with the exit"IWO10009".If so,please tell us the code to be made>
    Can we map our requirement through "Object dependencies" or any other means to meet our requirement
    you will be highly appreciated
    with regards,
    Joshita

    HI joshita,
    I had a similar issue in the past where i wanted to attach permit to an order based on some characteristic of functional location at user exit 'IWO10002 - Customer check for order release'.
    This will solve your purpose during release of the order.
    You can also use the exit 'IWO10009 - Customer Check for 'Save' Event', this will check irrespective of the status of the order.

  • Changing the Characteristic Values on the Query

    Hello Masters of the BW Domain
    Is there a way to display the values of a characteristic in a report based on a condition?  I have a characteristic called Rebates with only 2 valid values (Y and N).  Instead of showing it as Y and N, I want them displayed as "With Rebate" for Y and "No Rebate" for N.  Is it possible to do this without changing the underlying data in the cube and doing the translation at the query level?  Would it require a user exit to accomplish this?  All the user exits that I've run into only dealt with dates and not with transforming text values.

    As Paolo suggested you can add text for the info object. Else if you are using BW Web Reports you can use the Table API(similar to user exit) to do the conversion.
    case i_iobjm .
      when 'rebates'.
        if i_value = 'y'
          c_cell_content = 'With rebate'.
        elseif i_value = 'N'
          c_cell_content = 'With rebate'.
        endif.
    endcase
    *Please check for the syntax.
    If you are using BEx, VB macros will be an option.
    The best approach will be to store text for the info object.
    Thanks.

  • PR created with a reference PR copied the reference material configuration( Characteristic Values).

    Hello,
    I have created a PR with reference to another PR. After adopting I changed the material and saved. After saving, when I checked the variant configuration at the line item level (Characteristic values), its showing the characteristic values of the material of the reference PR. It should be showing the details of the new material which I have used but, its showing the variant configuration of the material used in the PR which I used as reference.
    Ideally, these values has to be changed when I changed the material in the newly created PR.  What might have gone wrong here?
    Example:  PR- Purchase Requisition
                   Mat - Material.
    PR1 contains Mat1.
    I am adopting PR1 and creating PR2 with Mat2.
    After saving, when I check the variant configuration, classification values are from Mat1. I was expecting the values from Mat2 as I have Mat2 in PR2.
    Any suggestions would be of great help.
    Thanks in advance!
    Regards,
    Shaheen.

    Hi,
       Please check whether classification data has been maintained for the second material. If the configuration data doesnt exist for the second material, system cant redetermine and transfer. Refr the note: 588117 - FAQ: Configurable materials in purchasing Question number 5.
       If the configuration data exists and still the data is not changed, refer the note:  920648 - Error in the configuration when you copy PReq item  or 596994 - ME21N/ME51N: Configuration not determined again based on your release.

  • Automate Characteristic value selection in Classification -Material Master

    Hi Gururs,
    I have workflow to create Material Master
    We have large number of Characteristics and  Value selection manually (mandatory and optional)
    we want to automate the Characteristics and  Value selection
    Any ideas to automate
    Prabakaran K

    What I understand from the question is this: While creating a material master through the use of workflow, you wish to automate the selection of mandatory and optional characteristics in the classification view. I have a few queries:
    How many classes does your material have? only batch class or material class as well?
    Also, on what basis do you want to automate the selection of the characteristic values for a material? There has to be a connection between the material type OR class assigned to the material, etc.
