While assigning batch material get locked in different plant.

Dear Guru,
After implementation ,frequently facing problem, In CO02 we are assigning the batch manually to the material but one material is configured with valuation type domestic / import. while assinging the bacth to the material system showes to another user who iis entering the same material in different plant is xxxx user is locked the material so u cant assign the batch, but batch we are maintiaining in material level. (batch maintianed in material level.)
currently we are going in sm12 transcationa and removing the lock, but we want to know why it is happening. what is the root cause for the error.
Please advice.
Thx
Nara

HI
It is Standard SAP at a time same material or its masters cannot be used by multiple users ids or with same user id also
system gives error material is locked.You can unlock it thru SM12 but be careful while soing so some the data which the another user using may be or may not be lost.
the better way is to ask the user to come out of that material or release it after doing his work

Assign multiple internal parts (materials of different plants) to one MPN

HI
I have a requirement to assign multiple internal parts (materials of different plants) to one manufacture part number.
but in HERS material type it allows to assign to only one .
can any body suggest how can I do this.
Sreeram

You can do that.
1:Assign the new plant to the sales org / distribution channel - Enterprise structure
2:DO the shipping point determination for the new plant.
3:Extend the materials to the new plant.
4:If there is intercompnay process, please check "Assignmnet of organizational units to plants" in navigation SD - Billing - Intercompany billing.
5: Check if there are any pricing records, output records....et cwhich has Plant as parameters. if yes maintain the entries for the new plant.
These are the things I could think of.
Before deleting the existing plants, make sure there are no open documents existing for these plants, else system will not allow to delete.

ALE-IDOC ISSUE(material getting locked for enhancement)

Dear all,
I have extended the idoc and enhanced inbound material master function module to suite the requirement .
The challenge is that the material is getting locked when the material sent from bd10 and prodction version view for which function module extended is not getting created.The error log says that "material is locked".But when the idoc is processed again from we19 the material is not getting locked and PV(production version is successfully created).
Can anybody guide me how this locking issue can be resolved?(have done unlock -lock before and after BDC for Production version).
Thanks.

Hi,
If some one using the same material in another session, definitely the idoc will fail as the material is locked... In order to overcome this first lock the material u want to send, if doing this u get foreign lock then u will know that already someone locked it , so once gain process the same record until the foreign lock is gone, once it is gone process ur record and then unlock the material.

Material Master extension to different Plants.

I am presently using BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA to create material master in a particular plant. Is there an easy way to extend these to another plant.
or
Do i need to use BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEREPLICA and pass different plant numbers in the MARC table in the initial creation itself.
Thanks in advance

Hi every one,
By using bapi : Bapi_material_Savedata u can achieve it..
u have to pass only these values to extend material from one plant to another plant.
Example Requirement : Material 100-101 is available only in plant 1000, So lets Copy material 100-101 to a plant 1200.
Note : Pass values in block letters only
In headdata structure :
1.headdata-material           " matnr : '100-101'
2.headdata-ind_sector       " mbrsh : 'M'
3.headdata-matl_type        " mtart : 'HALB'
4.headdata-basic_view      " kzsel : 'X'
5.headdata-purchase_view "kzsel : 'X'
In Clientdata structure :
1.Clientdata-base_uom    " meins : 'PC'
In Clientdatax structure :
1.Clientdatax-base_uom   "meins : 'X'
In Plantdata Structure :
1. plantdata-plant             "werks : '1200'
2. plantdata-countryori     "herkl   : 'DE'
In PlantdataX Structure :
1. plantdataX-plant             "werks : 'X'
2. plantdataX-countryori     "herkl    : 'X'
By passing above data u can extend material from one plant to another plant..

Error while query execution - Query getting locked by another user execute

Hi All,
I am facing an issue ..
When I execute a query I am getting an error message ie popping as blocked by some other user. And I able to see the lock when I go to SM12. If the other user logged off or if we unlock his entry, then both the workbook and query is getting executed as expected. What can be the reason for this phenomena?
In my understanding, in the same time multiple users can execute the query /workbook. But in our case its not allowing.
Can someone suggest a resolution at the earliest, as it is affecting the reports in live environment
Regards
Mathew

The Bex Analyser (Front end) Patch is 501 and the SAP BI is 15.
The error message that I am getting while executing the query is "The object requested is currently locked by user --".
When I go to SM12, I can see a lock in the user's name.

Material Supply Received in Different Plant

Dear Sir,
We have following scenario :
We have 2 plants , Plant 'A' and Plant 'B' . These Plants are located at differnt location and both Plant are on SAP .
Plant 'A' has placed the Purchase Order for a Material 'X' to some Vendor . Plant 'A' has also paid 50% advance to vendor . Vendor has to make the Material Delivery to Plant 'B' . Plant 'B' will now do some value addition on this material and the finished component will be invoiced to Customer by Plant 'B' itself .
Kindly guide us as what steps need to be followed in SAP to address the above scenario .
Pl help me .
Regards
Sonia

HI,
This does not involve more complexity as such.
Please proceed with the following transactions.
1. Create a PO at plant A with the delivery address as plant B and release the PO to the vendor.
2. There should be an information flow between these two plants for the confirmation of delivery
3. Once delivery is confirmed, you can process the remaining 50% of payment to your vendor
4. Meanwhile after value addition in your plant B there should be definetely a product code change for the material which you can bill it to your customer upon successful delivery of the same.

Profit Center Assignment on material master

Hi,
We have not assigned profit centers on materials and there are line items that are going to unassigned or dummy
We are into utility industry. We have 3 Profit centers Headquarters, Water Operation and Power Operation.
We have spare parts and other materials which are used for maintaining equipment or service orders in water operation and also power operation.
So to which profit center we need to assign these materials which are procured and used for water operation and power operation.
Just not sure which of the 2 profit centers we need to assign the materials to.
Thanks,
Rajan.

Hi,
In standard you can assign one profit center in material master. But you can maintain different profit centers for same material but maintained in different plant.
In Finished goods case you can set Profit center substitution in 0KEM.
Hope this clarifies your doubt.

Assign direct material cost to value field in copa while issue to Prod orde

Dear All,
My requirement is like this:
There are some 16 material groups from A to P each containing some materials(finished goods).
I want to allocate overhead to different material groups(Charecteristic in copa) in COPA using the periodic assesment cycles. I am able to allocate overhead(admin & sales cost) to different value fields in copa from different cost centers.
I want to analyse the product cost and also the profitability of each material group in COPA using Report painter. Iam able to pull all the costs which i assign to value fields using assessment. But, i am NOT able to get the direct material cost which is issued to production orders using BOM.
My question is whether we can assign the direct material cost to any user defined value field(material cost value field) while the material is being issued to production orders. Is there any automated way where we can directly assign the direct material cost to value field in copa while issuing the material to Production orders.
Pls explain me whether we can do it. if yes how?
Thank you very much in advance.
Regards,

PA is a Profitability analysis tool. That means it gets updated when a sale is made, not before. (Except for settlements and assessment of overheads.)
Goods issues for production gets updated in CO-PC, and needs to be analysed there. If you don't, you loose all the inbuilt tools for variance analysis, cost estimate comparisons, Wip Calculation etc. To the best of my knowledge, a Profitability Segment cannot be used as a cost object in Production Planning, because amongst others, you need to be able to capitalise the produced materials to stock at the end of the production run, or to WIP at the end of the Financial period,which is not possible with PS.
Similarly, overheads are recorded in CCA and needs to be analysed there.
If one goes against these big groupings in SAP, you always run into problems.

I am getting an error while running Batch input session.

While running BDC getting error that "Enter Discount Base, Automatic calculation not possible". I checked all the settings at company code level, tax code settings, document type settings. I am not getting it. While doing mannual posting the error is not coming.
Please help me on this.

Hi,
While creating Material master sometime warning message will come for some materials . So while doing the LSMW Recording method it will record howmany times you are entering the "Enter" key also. So while doing batch input fome article it may stop at some point, so better run the LSMW in foreground and check were it stops exactly.

Problems in having common material and batch in different plants

Hi all,
As the material with the same batch is existing in different plants, we are facing some problems in processing the Process Messages.
If some user who belongs to a different plant is processing the batch for the material, the Process messages are not being sent the destination as we get an error message that the reservation is currently processed by user (who actually belongs to a different plant). This is effecting the Business.
Can anyone tell me how we can prevent this? Could the reservation and Batch status set as plant level control via standard IMG change ?
Regards,
Brijesh

Yes Rajanikanth,
But can you please let me know whether it is not possible to restrict this so that the batch processed in different plants should not affect in our plant?
Thanks.

It all depends on the definition of "factory unlocked". If the phone was purchased directly from Apple and the receipt says "Unlocked" then updating or restoring it will leave it unlocked (Apple never uses the term "factory unlocked" as there is no such thing; phones are unlocked at activation time). Similarly, if it had been locked to a carrier and the carrier authorized it to be unlocked, and you went through the unlocking steps they provided, it is permanently unlocked.
Unfortunately, a lot of the phones sold as "factory unlocked" were actually unlocked by hacking in the "factory" in the basement of some shop somewhere. These phones at best will become locked to the original carrier if restored, and in the worst case will be permanently disabled if restored.

Same Batch Material to be sold at different selling prices

Hello,
I have a customer requirement where a material at depot belonging to the same batch should be sold at different sales price.
Eg: on 1st of May, Material XYZ belonging to batch AB052011 of 100 qts was GR into the Depot at Rs 100 / qty. A selling Price PR00 will be maintained at Rs 100 / qty. On 5th of May, sales happen for 50 qts, hence PR00 condition of Rs 100 /Qty will be picked accordingly. Till this point everything is fine.
Price change happens for the material at the plant.
Again on 15th of May another GR for XYZ material of Batch AB052011 of 200 qts was GR'ed into the Depot at Rs 150 / qty now. Accordingly PR00 price was changed to Rs 150 /qty.
On 20th of May the total stock of Material XYZ belonging to Batch AB052011 is 250 qts. On 20th if sale happens for 250 qts, Customer requirement is pick a PR00 of Rs 100 for the 50 qts and PR00 of Rs 150 for the remaining qty.
We dont want to allow price to be changed manually, this should only happen through condition records. Is there any way by which I can create a condition table which allows me to maintain two different prices for the same batch at a given point of time.
Regards
Raj

Hi Rajendra,
Option1:
Assuming that you are only talking about Batch Number based price (and not Batch characteristics based price) you can maintain price condition record based on Batch where Batch number will be one of the key criteria in your Access Sequence. So you many need to create a new Condition table with Material/Batch Number and insert it into your Pricing condition Access Sequence.
Since you will not know what batch you deliver till the goods been issued, you may need to redetermine the Pricing procedure during the Billing. Based on the batch that is delivered system will redetermine the Price from Condition record maintained on Batch basis.
Option2:
If you are talking about Batch Characteristics based Price, you have more to do.
Please check these forums links which might help you and also look at the OSS Note: 675409
