SAP AFS Grids in BOM

Hello Everyone,
I had a peculiar problem here when I am using AFS Grids. I have not defined certain characteristics values for a specific grid. But the same appears when I am maintaining the deviation quantities in the Bill of material. Is there any reason why this is happening? Is there any way to prevent this? Any help on this is greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Aji Kurian Mani

Hello,
Could you please provide more details about the issue ? Also, providing the grid values of the finished products and components would be helpful. I've been working on many AFS releases and don't see any big issues as of AFS 5.0.
Regards,
Mehdi

Dear Maruthi,
MB5T will not give grid details but ME2W will give grid details. Please enable AFS details for the scope of list in customizing for ME2W scope of lost
MM --> ME2W
You can create consolidated report using the 2 reports MB5T and Me2W. MB5T give PO with in transit stock and ME2W will give PO with grid details.
I hope this clarifies.

Hi Raja
   The tables you have mentioned are enough for extracting the details you need. Hope the below code helps you.
tables: eban, eket.
parameters: p_werks like eban-werks.
select-options: s_bsart for eban-bsart,
                s_erdat for eban-erdat obligatory,
                s_matnr for eban-matnr.
data: begin of itab occurs 0,
         banfn like eban-banfn,
         bnfpo like eban-bnfpo,
         bsart like eban-bsart,
         matnr like eban-matnr,
         menge like eban-menge,
         ebeln like eban-ebeln,
         ebelp like eban-ebelp,
         menge1 like eket-menge1,
       end of itab.
start-of-selection.
select a~banfn a~bnfpo a~bsart a~matnr
         a~menge a~ebeln a~ebelp b~menge
         into table itab
         from eban as a
         inner join eket as b
         on b~ebeln = a~ebeln
         and b~ebelp = a~ebelp
         where a~werks = p_werks
         and   a~bsart in s_bsart
         and   a~erdat in s_erdat
         and   a~matnr in s_matnr
         and   ( a~ebeln eq space or
                 a~menge ne b~menge ).
Now internal table itab will have all the open PR Numbers, for partially open PR's you will have itab-ebeln populated. For these entries subtract itab-menge1 from itab-menge to get the open qty.
Kind Regards

SAP AFS Upgrade from version 5.0 to 6.4

Hi Experts,
I wanted to know if someone here was familiar with the SAP AFS upgrade from 5.0 to 6.4. I wanted to know how exactly they improved the areas listed below. (obtained from SAP Course). Your help would be greatly appreciated
http://www.sap.com/services/education/catalog/globaltabbedcourse.epx?context=%5b%5b|wdedaf||1||de|%5d%5d|
1) Improvements in the areas of planned independent requirements, seasonal concept, value add services, Combined order, productionu2013 warehouse interface
2) Production Planning Basic Data - Enhancements of AFS Bill of Material (AFS BOM), SKU Group Based Routing
3) Manufacturing Execution u2013 Collective Planned Order Conversion, Combined Order Confirmations
4) Batch Determination/Classification for SAP Apparel and Footwear
5) Handling Unit Management for AFS
Thanks,

Hi Ronny,
Thanks for the reply!
These patches you speak of, is it for the types of issues I mentioned in my first post or do they cover the entire AFS functionality? I assume it still requires complex configurations but are there a lot of complications with going from AFS 5.0 to 6.4, compared to a new AFS 6.4 implementation? Specifically with the grids, categories and BOMs?
/Cheers

MM configurations for SAP AFS System

Hi,
        I'm working in MM configuration for SAP AFS production system, After uploading AFS Materials successfully and also created Purchase order to make a stock for that material, but PO created successfully but not able to do Goods receipts for created PO.
       Errors : Purchase order xxxxx has no items,
Once created sales order for the same material again we got the error while GR but error is different.
      GR is not possible for this PO number.
But material type is ROH , and its external procurement only.
Please let me know when we will get this type of errors.
Thanks and regards
Nisar.

Hi Nasir;
Some possible causes are;
1.     Defining inbound delivery (Or kind of a confirmation) in the PO LI level and not maintaining the document subsequently
2.     Not releasing the PO before the GRN
3.     Creating the PO with a material with Grids (AFS Basic Data Screen) and not maintaining the grid value at item detail level of the PO

With regards,

Hi,
Your configuration will only be applicable for the documents you are creating in future. It will not be applicable for the documents you have created in the past.
If any such open sales orders exist with third party I.C., then just delete them or put rejection codes, and then start creating new orders for them
If invoiced cases are there, you really have to analyse the implications and then take the corrective measures.

Cross-company in SAP AFS...

hi all,
we are using SAP AFS. we did the all required customization for cross-company. There is no problem while using process for the materials that don't have grid. But for the materials with grid, in vl10b, we can't create delivery. Error is : No stock available for stock transp. & material & (Message code: 8W 356). But in stock lists, stock seems available. Is there extra customization step for cross-company process in AFS?

Hi, the AFS Cross Company Sales Scenario is based on the buildingblock J62.This scenario enhances the Standard Cross Company Sales Order Processing to process AFS materials and AFS Specific settings.

Sap afs sd

Scenario is as below:
Our client is in apparels and footwears and have there overseas operation also:
I am doing configuration with the logic that as follows:
Client is doing exports as according to the requirements from the
overseas customers and also there are domestic customers.
Now I am utilising the functionalities like season, material grids and
category structure as below.
SEASON: OFF SEASON,ON SEASON
MATERIAL GRID: NL,XL,XXL (NL NORMAL,,XL EXTRA LARGE,XXL : DOUBLE EXTRA LG)
CATEGORY STRUCTURE : REQUIREMENT CATEGORIES,STOCK CATEGORIES
Product A off season (export-sale) material grids whichever is
applicable or demanded by client customers. As product is, off season
I am using requirement categories and for allocation run i am using
coverage stategy with characteristics as QUALITY,SEASON AND PRODUCT.
I am using Make to order strategy for off season material which would
be export sales ,and make to stock strategy for on season materials
which would be domestic sales.
(path:img-logistic general-afs categories-define coverage strategy)
Now the problems I am facing is system is giving me message "invalid
input" after maintaining coverage strategy parameters ie: such like
category value,allocation run requirements etc.
Now if the above scenario perhaps clear to you,Could you please let me
know where i am going against system(sap afs sd).
Also if possible let me know certain config documents pertaining to
order scheduling,allocation run,delivery and billing
Thanks And Regards
KAPIL MORE

Kapil,
goto define coverage stratergy ->Select your stratergy ->double click on coverage stratergy on left side it will display category structure ->again select the same and double click on Arun/MRP/... option on left side there you should mention Stock category and MRP-Mod tab.
"The MRP module controls the assignment of the requirement categories to the stock categories. Module M1 uses a strategy where all batches of stock, purchase requisitions and purchase orders which are available on the requested delivery date (sales order) and assigned to the stock category, will be used to satisfy the requirement"
and i would suggest you to check each and every tab in structure and stratergy both you might have missed something.
try and revert.
hope its helpful to you.

SAP AFS-MM

Gurus,
Can anyone please help me out about what is the work flow in AFS and the day to day activities that happen i AFS MM. How is it different from the regular SAP MM. I have gone through the help.sap.com but couldnt understand the workflow. Can anyone help me out in this.
Regards
Sunil

Dear Sunil,
For AFS-MM consultant also the same set of activities apply as standard MM consultant. AFS material differ with the standard material in term of following points :
1) AFS material is always batch managed and its unique at the plant level. Batch management is the basic setting for the AFS material.
2) You have to maintain grid and assign values to the grid while creating transaction
3) In purchashing all the grid values are maintained at the delivery schedule level.
4) Purchase info record can also be maintained at the AFS grid level
5) Price conditions can also be maintained at the AFS grid level
Almost all the standard process apply to AFS material with few exception. These exceptions are listed in FAQ notes under IS-AFS-MM* component. you can search for thise in service market place.

Rakesh

Difference between SAP R/3 and SAP - AFS

Hi
What is the Difference between SAP R/3 and SAP - AFS ?
Can any one compare using the key features/functinalities.
Thanks
Maruthi Ram

Hi,
Main difference is AFS material are avialiable with grid value (Shade and size)
Advantage of this is reduction of material creation .
You dont have to create multiple code for material having different sizes . Single material would be covering all shade and sizes .

Will MIM (Merchandize and inventory management) work with SAP AFS / SAP POS

We are implementing SAP AFS ERP at the head office and SAP POS at the retail stores.
We want to implement the MIM module for inventory management at retail store level. Does MIM work in conjunction with SAP AFS. A consultant was suggesting that MIM works only with SAP Retail and no other vertical SAP solution.
Can someone please clarify?
Regards
paddy

MIM is linked to IS Retail, not to AFS.
Nevertheless, you can always link and AFS and a Retail system. SAP provides a very convincing ALE scheme for this.

Is it possible to display external data in SAP B1 Grid?

Hi,
If the data reside in SAP B1 DB, it is normal. But if I have some data outside of SAP B1, for example in our old ERP system which is also a MS SQL db. Can I display it a SAP B1's grid? Reading external data shouldn't be a problem, but can I display it in a standard SAP B1 grid? I checked Grid object all method or properties, seems no way to load an external data source or manually create column and rows. Any idea?
Thanks,
Lan

Hi Gordon,
Thanks for your reply. Can you describe more detail about how to map an UDF to other DB? I check the UDF management menu, I didn't see any menu which allows me to link to external DB. The only similar option is you can set a linked table for the UDF, but that only applies to the UDO table inside SAP B1 DB. Also, UDF is just a field and usually my external data is a query which returns me rows with mutiple columns. I tried the UDO table, nothing can be found to allow me connecting to an external DB.
Thanks,
Lan
