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?
Any help would be highly appreciated

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

    5. Maintain the Availbility check field and MRP views in the material masters other wise you sit with PP people and do that

  • 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.

  • Create one sales order for two customers

    Hello to all.
    I have to plan the following development. Our client can create one sales order for one material and can bill it between two or more payers. 
    In SAP you would have to create one sales order for each customer and divide the material proportionately between the customers. The doubt is if there is any development with user-exits,badis,... so you can create only one sales order with two "payers" partner functions; you would put a % of participation in each payment so the sistem would create two invoices dividing the total amount of the sales order between the payers.
    Could anyone help me?
    Regards

    Tonnetti,
    If you want 2payers to  be possible in the same sales order, you  have to include the material as two line items. Then go to each line item, the partners tab and then change the payer there. So now the header partner will have 2payers, and there will be different payers for each line item.
    Now you can do a delivery or billing as needed. For a single sales order, two invoices will be created as the payers are different. These invoices can be send to respective payers and the payment can be processed from these payers.
    Hope this helps for your scenario.
    Reward if this helps.

    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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • How to create a sales order for one-time customer

    Hi all,
    I have a requirement where in creating a sales order, I have to add the tax code for one-time customer. This is not the tax jurisdiction but it is a text field that you can see in Further attributes and it will store in VBPA3 table.
    My plan was create sales order first using SD_SALESDOCUMENT_CREATE or BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2. Then I used BDC of va02 for changing the salesdoc. But the problem is, we can't proceed because there's a message "TAX HAVE REDETERMINED"  that it doesn't included in recording a transaction.
    Another one is, instead of calling the standard bapi, I used BDC for VA01. Again, upon recording there was anothe message popped up "FREIGHT REDETERMINED". And it's not in the recording so we can't proceed.
    Would you know what field is for the tax code when I use SD_SALESDOCUMENT_CREATE or any standard bapi? Is there other way aside from calling a standard bapi or bdc?
    Points will be given..Thanks!

    Good afternoon Bella,
    We are in a project that exactly need this solution. Could yoy please explain me how you solve the issue ?
