One Material Multiple Characteristics

Dear All,
We are a chemical industry, following is the scenerio.
There is a product caustic soda of different concentrations like 33% and 50%. Its a continuous process, during in process at the end point of process we note the concentration of caustic suppose that is 31.3%. Now we receive material in the storage tank that already may contain material.This storage tank is interim storage not sale able. Now this material can be moved to 33% storage tank or 50% storage tank or for internal use to make some other product.
Is there required one material code or more than one? If we open one material only 'caustic' and make characteristics 33%,50% in material class then can we move material on the basis of characteristics?
Thanks

you can apply serial number ot each concentration type.

One Material Multiple Descriptions

Hi All,
We have one material and the description of this material is different across the two plants that we have. How to map this? Please find the example below
Material A - Plant 1: Mobile Phone 1122
Material A - Plant 2: Handy Phone 1122
Now these descriptions we are finding a way to make it uniform across the company by clubbing the descriptions of both the plants. Now when I have to raise the PO / sales order and take a print of that then I'm facing issue it is displaying the text of both the plants in the print outputs which the client is not ok with.
SOLUTION SUGGESTED
In the material master additional data we are planning to use different language keys and give different descriptions so that I can use these descriptions at the time of taking print outputs. i.e. One language key for sales output and one language key for purchase outputs.
Is this ok?? or any other better solutions.
Regards
Manish

Jurgen is correct and I doubt your language solutoin will give you satisfactory results.
The question is what do you want your customers to see? Forget about the internal material description. It shouldn't matter if internally your people see Handy Phone/Mobile Phone. Club the descriptions together.
Or.. this would be an amazing concept... ask the client to standardize on one or the other!!!!
What you call it doesn't matter. It's just another item in the system. Call it 632933 if you want to. The employees will get used to it quickly and you won't spend a lot of money to come up with some custom solution.
The important thing is what customers of the client see and what is printed on the paperwork to them. And that can be easily handled by standard SAP using info records. Have you looked at them?
What is the business benefit in terms of $$$$$ to keep two separate internal descriptions? The key here is internal. You can make all the external descriptions and marketing campagins you want.
If you want another alternative, you could use material classification, (type 001). Create two characteristics. PLANT_1234_MTRL_DESC and PLANT_9876_MTRL_DESC. Define the respective plant descriptions in the materials classification view. Modify all your paperwork to pull the appropriate description. You can search via classification in most material search screens. You'll still see the same clubbed material descriptions however on line. I don't like this solution nor do I endorse it.

Production order from sales order with multiple line item(for one material)

Dear Gurus,
I am working in MTO scenarios. If there is several line item in a sales order for one material, multiple production order( same as no. of sales order line item) is getting created against each of the line item.My requirement is,since the material code is same in each line item and sales order is one, one production order should be generated for all line item. please tell me how to do it.
(Here for one material, multiple line item is required for some specific reason)
Regards
Rajib Pathak

Hi,
This is not possible.
In Std SAP will create one production order for one sales order. The stock is also allocated to thet particular sales order only. Because each and every sales order may vary in any one of the parameters. Considering this, SAP has designed like this.

Search Material by Multiple Characteristics Values

Hi gurus,
I need your help in a subject.
I've a material which is assigned to two classes ZMATERIAL and ZMATERIAL2.
ZMATERIAL has some characteristics about the material and ZMATERIAL2 has also different characteristics.
I want to search for material by giving values for multiple characteristics which are assigned to different classes.
For example;
ZMATERIAL has Plant and Material Group as characteristic
ZMATERIAL2 has Responsible Person as characteristic
I want to search by giving plant and responsible person. Can I do this in SAP? It allows me to search only by one class as I see.
Thanks in advance...

Sefa Kocali,
Seems it can be done if you can use class hierarchy.
Create a new class ZMAT without any characteristic , then assign your existing classes to this class using transaction CL22N. once its done, you can use CL30N to search objects in new class ZMAT , also you will have optyion to use subordinate class for this searches.
Check below link for more details
Inherited Characteristics - Classification (CA-CL) - SAP Library
Check and come back with your findings.
Hope it will help you.
Thanks

Multiple Posting change notice created for one material document

Hi All,
The scenario is that the user needs to transfer material from unrestricted to quality stock type. while doing so the storage type is different than the actual storage type for the material. Meaning if the material is normally stored in high rack storage type, when it is found that the material is damaged or expired it need to be moved to the quality storage type. For this the user will first create material document in IM with movement type 322 transferring material from unrestricted stock to qualtiy stock. A PCN will be created in back ground which will in turn be converted manually by the user to a TO. while doing so the user will pick the quant manually from the required storage type and select the destination storage type as the quality or quanranntine area.
The issue here is that system creates one PCN for each material document line item. The requirement is that the system should create only one PCN with multiple lines for one Material document.
The setting in the movememnt type clearly says that it will behave as it is behaving.
Is there any other way or setting by which we can create one PCN with multiple line items for a material document.
Would look forward to your replies.
Regards,
Jeetendra

Thanks and Sorry for the delayed reply. We have now convinced the users that the system behaviour is standard and we cannot change the same.
To your question about the need to have one PCN with multiple lines please note that the setup is such that when material document is created for transferring material from unrestricted to quality and vice versa this document is created with multiple materials in one go. Now when the PCN is to be converted to TO then the user ends up in creating number of TO's equal to the number of lines in the Material Document. We wanted to avoid this and hence this was posted in SDN.

Std Msg Type and Idoc Type to send multiple characteristics for equipment

Hello Experts,
I have the requirement to send all the assigned characteristics linked to an Equipment or linked to a Material, along with the all possible values BUT require only standard Message Type and Idoc Basic Type.
I found Message Type = CHRMAS and Idoc Type = CHRMAS04, BUT it contain information of ONLY one characteristic, not solve my objective (multiple characteristics in one Idoc)
Will you please provide me any standard Message Type and Idoc Basic Type that solve my above requirement?
Thanks in advance,

Hello Experts,
Can you at least tell me, is there anything standrad that can fulfill my above requirement?
If not then I will proceed with custom developments; and in this case is there any complexity to transmit the custom Idoc?

Two profit centers in same plant for one material

Dear All
We have this request from a customer.
There is a material in 1 plant but need to track that same materials in 2 different cost elements depending on where these are used (e.g. for sales will be booked to profit center 1 and demo will be booked to profit center 2)
Now we can partially achieve this by splitting them into 2 storage locations however this will only give a report on quantity and not separate valuation since 1 material can only have 1 profit center per plant. So we can know there are for example 4 sales item in sales storage location and 2 item in demo storage location but we will not know their price valuation as it will show 1 combined value for all 6, and we cannot assume valuation per item to be total divided by 6 because the value for the sales item and demo item need to be different.
Is there a way to achieve this?
We could copy the material to another material with different material number but this is not ideal since it will create problems at the backend when updating material data and also causes duplication which we want to avoid.
Any suggestions on how this can be achieved -- e.g. I am sure most companies have demo units which are separate from delivery units how is this scenario managed in those companies?
Regards
Anant

Hi
Use split valuation. Using Split valuation one material can have multiple valuation prices. In your case you can create two Valuation types (Demo and Sale item) for valuation category say XYZ. Then you can manage different price for Demo and Sale item even if the material is same.
Read below example: If you have same material grade A and grade B. Grade A is $100/Kg and Grade B is $80/Kg. This kind of scenario is possible by using Split Valuation.

How to read Material classification/characteristics

Dear all,
I have to read the characteristic values belonging to a material.
I found some threads about BAPI BAPI_OBJCL_GETDETAIL_KEY and BAPI_OBJCL_GETDETAIL but I don´t know how to call them.
First Question: Is this the right way/function to read the characteristics from one material? If no what is the "right" way?
Second Question: How to call this beast for one material?
Kind regards and thanks for any help.

MRP is not working for one material

Hello,
I've run MRP without problems, but now I have a problem with one material. It is strange because if I copy that material with MM01, create the BOM and the run the MRP, everything works fine with the new material, but not with the old one.
Any idea why it could be not working, while the copy works perfectly?

hi
First of all check have u maintained MRP parameters correctly
( MRP type etc.)
Though u have created BOM but if parent material has no requirement then it will not create any requirement for ur created material so check whether parent material is applicable for MRP or Not

Free goods-more than one material as a free item in sales order

Hi,
We have a requirement for our client in free goods scenario in which the client wants to give more than one material(2or3 etc) as a free item in the sales order.I have already explored the slaes BOM functionality,anyother suggestions other than Sales BOM will be of great help to me.
Thanks

Hi Sam,
Check out my [post|Re: Free goods process requirement] wherein I had the same problem once upon a time.
We tried all possible things, however concluded that through std SAP functionality the same is not possible.
FYI: Free Goods doesnt support BOM, Sub items, Product selection. etc.

Free Goods from One Material Group to Another Material Group

Salute Masters!!
I need your valuble suggestion, please provide.
I need to configure Free Goods of Material Group to Material Group.

2) User should have option to change from one Material Group to Other Material Group, which He / She want, like F010 or F020, F030, F040 any one of them.
Suppose;
Line Item Material Belongs to One Group Quantity in Gallons Free Goods from Any Material Group Quantity in Gallons
      1            A                                              3                                    F010                                             4
      2            B                                              3                                     F020
      3            C                                              4                                     F040
Any No. of Line Item Any No. of Material
                                   from One Group      Total 10                   From Any Material Group
(Comprising of 3-4 Different Material from 1 Group, they should be able to choose/provide Free Goods from other Material Group)
3) While creating Sales Order what Quantity (Gallons/No./Ltr) to be put?
How I can configure this scenario?
Please suggest, is it possible through KEY COMBINATION?

Hi,
if you want to give free goods from other group it can be possible only for EXCLUSIVE free good type
In exclusive free goods, a material different from the orignal material can be specified as the free goods.
Example: A customer who buys 200 crates of beer, gets 5 boxes of glasses free.
In VBN1 >> Exclusive
See column ADD FREE MATERIAL
While creating Sales Order what Quantity (Gallons/No./Ltr) to be put?
Maintain alternative units in material master >> Additional data >> Material master,BUT it is only main item
Those item u want to give free that items unit is derived from free goods condition record and it CANNOT be change in order
