ABC Indicator Update Using MIBC (RMCBIN00)

Hi,
I need a help investigating what's going on with MIBC update.
Here is what happened.
We run MIBC yearly to reset the ABC indicator based on consumption in material master (MARC-ABCIN).
I ran MIBC with 'Display' option first and download the result and then ran it with the 'Update' option to make actual change.
However when I checked the actual ABC indicator updates (in material master change log) it is updated differently than the downloaded result I've got from the 'Display' option run.
For example, for material X the new ABC indicator says 'C' (checked a change log in the master) but when I checked the same material from the download
it says the new indicator is 'B'.
I don't know why this happened.
Any input on this matter is appreciated.
Regards,
Eddie

How long was the time difference between the first (display) and the second (update) run?
If you had implemented OSS note 1676031 - MIBC: No option for processing with update and list
then you could have a list from the update run and could directly compare the values of both lists.
Are you certain the execution was made with the same selection parameter?
If yes, then the underlying values must have been changed in the meantime, eventually a backposting done. Or correction made to the consumption values (material master table MVER).
Even a change on a material B can cause a change in the CC indicator for material A, the logic how the indicator is calculated can be found with an example behind the blue info button in MICN.

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.

MC40: Some materials don't have ABC Indicator

Hi Experts,
I run MC40 in background with 13000+ materials using usage value in % strategy, most of it has its ABC indicator updated while some are still blank. Are there any indications (in Material Master or anywhere) that those materials with "blank" ABC indicator are excluded in MC40 run?
Points will be awarded.
Regards,
LM

Hi
MC40 takes all the materials for Analysis, not only the materials whcih have ABC indicator.
you select this checkbox, the ABC indicator calculated in the document evaluation will be changed in the material master. You can only use this option, however, when the evaluation runs in the background.
If you want to update the Materials ABC indicator you can slect the Check box
Update ABC Ind in Background Processing mode.

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

Hi, You need to have an history of at least several months of movements in order to do this analysis. You need also to flag "all articles held in stock" in order to select articles without ABC indicator. Rgds, Philippe

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.

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

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).

Where a system saved a old ABC indicator

Dear expert Hi
We are working in our company with ABC indicator for cycle counting , Trans: MIBC
I will need to create a new Query when we can see what is the old ABC indicator and what is the new ABC indicator after we update a indicator with MIBC
Please you can explain where a system saved old ABC indicator (TABLE)?
Regards
Diana

Hi,
For a material master the ABC indicator is mentioned in the MM01 -MRP1 view screen
The table name is : MARC
where as in MBIC t.code if you change the CC indicator the CCindicator changes is indicated inthe same t.code in X. it is not stored in Table. It is stored in a structure.
actually the ABC indicator is stored in table MARC only

Auto populate field 'ABC Indic' under Organization tab in IE01/IE02/IE03

Hi Folks,
I need to Autopopulate the selected value for the 'ABC Indic' dropdown within the 'Location Data' group, under 'Organization' tab in IE01/IE02/IE03, based on a given Business condition for equipment numbers.
The field pertains to ABCKZ of table ILOA (And subsequently in the database view ITOB)
This standard field is made visible in the transactions via configuration.
I understand that I need to make this change using the User exit 'EXIT_SAPLITO0_002'. However, I do not seem to be having a handle to the field ABCKZ as an exporting/changing parameter in any of the exporting structures ISTRU_EQ / ISTRU_EZ / IFLO_USR1). Since this is not a custom field , i am not sure if I must include it as a custom include in one of the afore mentioned structures. ( Even if this were to be done, IFLO_USER1 [which is the exit mod structure for ILOA] does not have a Customer Include)
All I need is a handle to the field, so that i can make the required change and the update will happen without any further interventions.
Any pointers to this issue would be very helpful.
Thanks and Regards,
Puja.

Hi Puja,
Try this badi
Badi:
EQUI_UPDATE Equipment Master Data
Alternative Exits:
ITOB0001 PM: Customer include subscreen for techn. obj. master d
ITOB0002 ITOB: Field changes to copy model
ITOB0003 PM: Customer Include subscreen for fleet object data
ITOB0004 PM: Customer Exit fleet identification data: Checks
Badi:
FLEET_DECOUPLING Interface for Decoupled Part of Fleet Management
INST_AUTHORITY_CHECK PM/CS Enhanced Authorization Checks
Thank you,

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
