ABC indicator removal

Hi
Having some clarification cycle count indicator...
1) How to mass remove the ABC indicator set for the material master ?
ie, mass change from a indicator specified to blank field.
I believe this is kind of basic qsnts, really appreciated your support.
Thanks
MM

Hi,
Just tested this out in my system and it works. Here's what I did.
1) Execute MM17
2) Choose Fields Tab --> Search for MARC-ABCIN and then highlight and execute
3) Enter Material and Plant then execute
4) At the new values line, leave it blank then, click on carry out mass change button
5) Save
Even with CC Fixed indicator checked, I am still able to change the value to blank.
Hope this helps

ABC indicator in Material Master

Hi experts,
Could you please let me know if the ABC indicator field used in MRP1 view is Plant dependant or Plant independant?
We have 2 plants. So should we set this ABC indicator seperately for Plant 1 & Plant 2?
Thanks,
Pri

ABC INDICATOR:
Indicator that classifies a material as an A, B, or C part according to
its consumption value. This classification process is known as the ABC
analysis.
The three indicators have the following meanings:
o   A - important part, high consumption value
o   B - less important part, medium consumption value
o   C - relatively unimportant part, low consumption value
So we can say that this information in Material master is plant specific (Plant dependent)
Logically if we think the material which is of high importance and have high consumption in one plant need not have to be important with same level of consumption in another plant.
Rerward if it is helpful

Pavan
So when doing the bifercation of the materials based on their importance it is plant which is of utmost importance

Difference "abc indicator" in MRP1 & "cc phys inv ind" in plant data stor1

Hello,
we want to do cycle counts and I noticed that there are two different field in the material master for that.
I think they have a different purpose?
"ABC indicator" field in MRP1 view
and
"cc phys inv ind" field in plant data/ stor 1 view
Can somebody please explain the difference?
Thanks
Anne

MC40 and MC41 dont need customizing, setting can be made in selection screen.
ABC analysis for cycle count MIBC needs customizing.
In MRP1 view the field name is MARC-MAABC while on storage location view the field name is MARC-ABCIN.
The one on storage location view is used for cycle count, and includes ABC and D, and is caclulated by MIBC transaction.
The indicator in MRP1 view is calculated and updated by MC40 and MC41 transaction
MICN is the only one that can update the indicator used for cycle counting.
if you execute both transaction with same settings, then there should be the same result.
However, pretty often the cycle count indicators are precalculated by MICN based on consumption, but then individual items are changed to get a different indicator for specific reasons.
You may have a low value item, which is very important for your processes.
Based on consumption values it may get indicator C, but if you have differences on that item then it is a critical factor for your business, hence you want count it more often, thus you would manually change it to B or even A. (which can be done directly from the MICN report)
The focus on both indicators can be equal in many companies, but may also be different in other companies, hence you need 2 indicators for ABC analysis

HI Experts,
May we know what is the Authorization Object we can use for ABC Indicator in Equipment?

Updating abc indicator

how to the system updates the ABC indicator in the material master data.....on what basis......is there any program we should run ..
Please explain

Tcode is MC40
ABC Analysis is a key concept by which large quantities of organizational data can be classified depending upon its importance. Such data can relate to material or processes. ABC analysis is mostly associated with inventoy ABC analysis. However, in SAP the ABC analysis functionality can not only be used for inventory analysis, but also for other processes such as S & D, plant maintenance, production, purchasing etc.
ABC analysis is available in SAP, however, companies need to follow a certain set of steps through which they can perform ABC analysis. Listed below are the steps required for ABC analysis in SAP.
1. ABC Analysis Goal - Before doing ABC analysis, companies need to know what the goal of such ABC analysis will be, goal setting is the first step in ABC analysis.
2. Analysis Area - Determining the area to be analyzed is the next step in the process. Companies need to identify thearea for which ABC analysis will be done such as inventory, purchasing, plant maintenance etc.
3. Data Basis - The third step is calculation of the data basis. This ensures consistency of the data to be analyzed. Data basis may consist of characteristics such as inventory number, key figure, consumption, production, spending on plant maintenance etc.
4. ABC Strategy - In this step, the ABC strategy and class boundaries are defined based on which the actual analysis would be done. In the ABC strategy, segment sizes need to be defined for example inventory value A category - 70%, B category - 20%, and C category - 10%.
5. Assigning Classes - This is last step in which one defines the class limits and assigns such classes. Note that one can define both the upper and lower limits of the classes. When such class assignment is complete, SAP calculates rank or material as a total percentage of total inventory value.

Updation of ABC indicator in Material Master

Hi,
For ABC analysis, I carried out it according to T_code MC40(Usage value). I got the category of material. For eg "A".But how the ABC indicator updates in Material master.Because I couldnt get indicator in MRP1 view.
Whats the right way? Pls guide me.
Thanks,
Goraksh.

Hi,
Update of consumption is based on movement type, and you can decide which movement types should have or have not consumption updating.
Check in transaction OMJJ if the movement types in question have indicator "Consumption posting" (field V_156_VC-KZVBU) as marked.
If it is the case, consumption is updated, opposite for un-ticked.
Hope that helps.
Thanks.

Prevent GR with the delivery complete indicator set in the purchase order

Dear friends,
During GR reference to PO, if goods are received partially and the delivery complete indicator is set, the PO line item is deemed to be closed.
However, if reference is made again to the same PO line item, GR can still be done to the item that delivery complete indicator was set.(due to there is still quantity to be received)
Is there anyway, we could prevent reference to be made to a PO line item that has delivery complete indicator set?
Thank you.
Regards.

it is by design that you still can receive material.
See SAPs explanation here:
http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/a5/63343943a211d189410000e829fbbd/frameset.htm
The delivery complete indicator only reduces the commitment values to zero.
If you want restrict further good receipts, then you have to reduce PO quantity to equal the received quantity and must not allow overdelvivery. Further you can enter a latest GR date, which will not allow receipt beyond this date.
Locking the item will as well prevent further actions, but this should only be a short term solution, because the PO will still be considered in MRP runs and will never treated as beeing closed. And you will not be able to archive such POs

ABC Indicator for Equipment & Functional Location Same or Different

Hi All,
We can find ABC indicators in both Equipment & Functional Location (FL) master data.
Q. Please tell me....whether these fields are different for Equipment & FL or same??
Problem is that I could see the same field name ABCKZ for both Equipment & FL in tables V_EQUI & ILOA respectively.
Sundar

Hi Sunder
*The ABC indicator can be entered in equipment as well as functional locations.*
An indicator that is assigned by the procedure of ABC analysis.
The following ABC indicators are possible:
A - Important
B - Less important
C - Relatively unimportant
According to these criteria, "A" materials are those materials that are of greatest importance for the production operations of a company.
Examples of use for ABC indicators are vendor master records, material master records, and master records of *technical objects.*
So ABC indicator is same for equipments and Functional LocationBUT value may be diferent

ABC indicator for project stock

Is there a way to run MIBC and assign abc indicator to project stock that is not valuated or even for the part numbers to show up on this list? What needs to be done in order for this to show up on the report? IS there a way to make it valuated and but not company own stock valuation?

Hello Kimberly,
MIBC report will show the list of material based on the Consumption or Requirement and it will suggest ABC indicator considering the both factor.
The Project stock can be managed as valuated project stock or nonvaluated project stock.
For more details, please have a look on the following link
<a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/en/4d/2b92c943ad11d189410000e829fbbd/frameset.htm">Project Stock</a>
Hope this helps.

Mandatory check for ABC Indicator- MRP1 view

Dear All,
I want to make ABC Indicator mandatory for ROH material type and to the particular plant. How can I achieve this?
I tried to change in customization (Change 'Field selection for data screens' ), but its effecting other fields also. because in the field selection group 51 has so many other fields.
Should I have to create new field section group & field reference Or any other way? Need your valuable guidance.
Thanks.

hi Vijay,
if you want to control it thru configuration then you have to create a new field selection group and then you can make the ABC indicator mandatory.
you can also use the user exit in material master which will throw an error message at the time of saving of material master if the ABC indicator field is blank.
Regards,
Anoop singh

ABC Indicator field in PM MODULE

Hi gurus,
I have a problem. I change a ABC Indicator value of Functional Locations to A via transaction IL02. However, when i get a report with transaction IW38, I dont see A value in ABC Indicator field in some of the Functional Locations. I am sure I have changed and saved the value of that field. What may be the reason? Do you have any idea? Thanks in advance....

Hi,
The value shown on IW38 will be the ABC Indicator as recorded on the order. When the order was created this value would have defaulted from the functional location. If you later change the functional location value, that is not updated on existing orders.
You can change the ABC Indicator value directly on the orders location tab (provided it is not completed).
