Hi Candhrakanth,
MATERIAL DETERMINATION:-
A method to determine the material to be used in the sales order. Material determination uses the condition technique to swap one material for another when certain conditions apply. It is triggered by the material entered in the line item of the sales order.
Maintain prerequisites for materialMaterial DeterminationSD- IMG determination –Maintain field catalog, create condition table, Maintain access sequences, define condition types, and maintain material determination procedure. Lastly create your condition records with valid dates and substitution reasons.
- Creating a condition record: Logistics, SD, Master data, Products, Material determination, Create [VB11].
Material Determination: - Substituting one product with other product is called material determination.
Maintaining the records for Material Determination: -
SPRO
Logistics
Sales and Distribution
Master Data

VB11 – Create.
Enter the determination type [A001] (Material Entered).
Material Entered: - Here enter the original material which has to be substituted.
Material: - Enter the material with which we want to substitute the main material.
Reason for Substitution: - specifies the reason why the system automatically carried out material substitution.
To enter multiple materials as substitution select the icon alternative materials.
This concept is based on condition technique.

  • GR/IR Clearing Account for Material & Asset

    Hi,
    We want to maintain different GR/IR Clearing Account for Materials & Assets.
    Pls. guide.
    Regards,

    Hi
    In case of asset - we define account determination in asset master which is like stock account for material. But if you use purchase order then for asset you use account assignment category as A - it means it is like account assigned purchase order. So all goods reciept credit on these POs will go to GR/IR account created without valuation class. Same time if you donot maintain service masters then goods receipt will go to same account (no valuation class). So either you need to define service materials or use same account for both.
    Thanks

  • How to check the analysis of material determination in sales order

    hi,
    We are trying to create a sale order with material determination. Material determination analysis is on. After  switching this on  while adding a new line item, in an existing sales order, we are able to do analysis as the system itself takes us to analysis screen. But once  the document is saved, we need analysis to be done  at material determination for the determined materials  , something similar to  pricing or account determination analysis.Please help
    Regards,
    Aparna.

    Hi,
    If you drag the line item a little towards the right side, you will find a filed material entered. The one you see in the material filed on sales order over view screen is the one determined. You can as well double click and see the fields material entered and material determined.
    Is there anything else you are expecting to see as part of analysis ?

  • Material Determination based on Availability

    Hi SD gurus,
    I have a client requirement as below:
    We create order via BAPI. Data comes from ext call center system.
    Whenever Matnr A is entered in Sales order & it is not available then Matnr B should come.
    1: I know that we can handle this in Material Determination. I did req. config in IMG
    2: I have created VB11 stating that MATNR A should be substituted by Matnr B. I have ticked the MRP ind in VB11 as well.
    Now the question is:
    When I enter MATNR A in sales order, & assuming its not available then, MATNR B will come in Sales order.
    In my case it is happening. But whenever this happens what should be the item category of the MATNR A & MATNR B?
    Please let me understand how will standard SAP behave.
    I thought the item A should appear as Text item & probably item B should become relevant for delivery & pricing.
    But currently I am getting item category TAX for item A & TAPS for item B in sand box. Is that correct?
    What should be the standard item categories in this case?
    regards

    Hi,
    The system runs several checks on on each possible substitute, for example to determine if the customer would accept the product based on the product attributes and current stock availability.The system checks substitute materials until the order quantity is satisfied, or until there are no more possible substitutes.
    When a valid alternative is found, the system creates a sub-item for it, using the item category that you have defined for the main material in Customizing.
    If there is not enough inventory for the alternatives to cover a required quantity, the system confirms only the available amount and ignores the rest. The main item contains information on the confirmed quantity of the sub-item, but is not relevant for planning. For this reason, the material shortage is not passed on to planning.
    If you set the material requirements planning indicator for one of the alternatives, however, the system creates an additional sub-item for this material, assigning it a confirmed quantity equal to zero, and a required quantity equal to the open quantity. Since this material is placed as the final alternative in the substitution, it captures any remaining quantities. The system takes this item into account and passes the material shortage on to planning.
    Based on your settings Customizing, the system performs pricing at the main or sub-item level.
    There are two separate item categories in sales documents for product selection. The item category TAX contains specifications for the main item (original product). The other, TAPS, contains specifications for the sub-items (substitute product).
    Review the item category configurations in the standard system. If these do not meet your requirements, perform the activities in the following topics to modify the item category configuration, or create your own categories. Note that if your product selection procedure requires that pricing be done at the main item instead of the sub-item, you will have to create new item categories.
    The following examples detail how pricing is carried out at the main item level and sub-item level for product selection.
    Pricing at the Main Item
    the price for the order is determined based on the price condition records for the main item only. You have deactivated pricing for the sub-item category, so the system does not determine a price for it. Since both the main item and the sub-item categories are relevant for billing, the prices (even if there is no price) are copied to the invoice and billed accordingly.
    Pricing at the Sub-item
    the price for the order is determined based on the price condition records for the sub-items. You have deactivated pricing for the main item category, so the system does not determine a price for it. Since both the main item and the sub-item categories are relevant for billing, the prices (even if there is no price) are copied to the invoice and billed accordingly.

  • Activating Direct Posting to G/L Accounts and Material Accounts

    Hi,
    Can anyone plz tell me with some examples ,what is the relevance of this ,'Activating Direct Posting to G/L Accounts and Material Accounts'.
    Link for this is as below :
    spro/Materials Management/ Logistics Invoice Verification / Incoming Invoices / Activate Direct Posting to G/L Accounts and Material Accounts
    Whether normally everyone will use this or not ?
    regards,

    Sandeep
    In Logistics Invoice Verification, you can also post invoices that do not refer to a purchase order or a delivery. A typical example of this is a bill for expenses.
    As in the case of an invoice with a reference, you first need to enter the header data and the vendor information.
    In contrast to invoices with a reference, the system does not display any proposed values for the invoice items, since it cannot determine any purchase order items and posted goods receipts for this invoice. As a result, the system does not know which accounts are affected by the offsetting entry for the vendor line item. Therefore, you must specify which accounts the amounts are to be posted to. The SAP System provides the following options:
    • Posting to a G/L account
    You post to G/L accounts if you, for example, want to settle small amounts for freight costs and similar items and do not want to add these to the material accounts or cost accounts for the invoice items.
    • Posting to a material account
    You post to material accounts, if you, for example, want to debit or credit a material without using a purchase order reference
    You can also combine these options by generating the relevant posting lines one after the other, or by generating lines with reference to a purchase order.
    When you enter an invoice without a reference, you may find that a vendor has not been created in the system. You can post this invoice to a one-time account.
    You can have activated this functionality if you want to post directly to GL account and material.
    Hope this clarifies

  • Material Type for Material Determination

    Hi Expert,
    Is there any spesific/standard material master type for material determination on SD ?
    Thanks,
    IB

    Is there any standard material type for 'Material Entered'
    Normal salable materials would be created with HALB or FERT and this is in no way related to material determination.  In fact, as everybody asked, if you can explain the business as to why you are comparing material type with material determination, may be you will get the right direction.

  • Material determination with ATP-CHECK.

    I want use the material determ after the stock ATP-CHECK.

    first the sales order item run the atp-check ,if the stock cannot supply all the requested quantity ,the shortage quantity will use the material-substitution,by the choose screen or automatic create the new item.otherwise,if the stock is enough to supply,not to run the funciton material determinaton.
    this is the all  my want,whether is it can be carry out and how to configure the sap setting.

    Hi Lee,
    The standard system supports this. While creating the material determination records in Tcode VB11., while entering the we give the material entered and in the column material you have to give this same material first and by clicking the ICON 'Alternate Materials' on the Application Tool Bar you can give the sequence in which the substitution take place.
    Hope this explains your query. If this is not clear please mail me to [email protected]

  • EDI: Extending VB12 - Material determination.

    Hi everybody.
    Sorry if I'm posting a wrong place - but has been away from SCN for a while....
    I'm working with EDI and we wants to extend Material determination for inbound Orders so that Partner Profile is part of the selecttion.
    so instead non "only" SOrg/DistCh/Mat is the key combination but also eg Partner Type KU ( from T-code WE20)
    I have searched but not found anything usefull.
    Any hint will be rewarded :-)

  • Revenue Account not correctly determined

    Access KOFI not carried out (initialized field).  This is the message I get after analysis acct determination.  I've created a new access sequence to allow me assign accounts based on distribution channel/division/accAssignGrp but on creating billing document, the GL account picked is determined using the wrong access sequence(not the one I created).  Upon analysis, I get the message 'Access KOFI not carried out (initialized field)' with a yellow circle against the account assignment group.  How can I solve this?

    making this change at the material master level, will not impact the sales order created already & its invoice , however this is required for the invoices to be created later.
    to have your invoice posted, have the AAG of the material at the invoice line item level matching the AAG maintained in VKOA.
    then release the invoice manually in VF02.

  • Free goods with combination of material determination

    Hi All,
    I have Materil X for this free good is Y.  But for material Y there is material determination with A. In this case what will happen while i am entering the material X in the sale order/
    As of my knowledge freegoods don't support for any special function like BOM & vairant config. I don't know about the material det.
    Please clarify this doubt.
    Regards
    Sunil

    Hi Sunil,
    You can see Material Determination and Free goods as two seperate issues.
    For material X, Material Y will be a free good only when material Y is available in stock. The system will not substitute materiail Y with material A just because you have material determination configured for the same.
    On the other hand, if you enter material Y on its own i.e. seperately at the line item level of the sales order..........then material determination will occur and the item will be substituted by material A.
    See both of them as two seperate scenarios.
    Hope its clear.............

  • Material Determination error during Transaction DP90

    Dear Experts,
    I am configuring the Depot Repair scenario for a Hitech Industry.
    The Process is as follows;
    1. Ceating the  Notification
    2. Creating a repair order using Notificaion. and getting the repaired items in to the plant
    3. Creaing and confirming the service order and delivering the repaired product to the customer.
    4. Creating a Billing Request using service order during transaction DP90.
    I am facing the following error!!! -
    Material Determination error in the service order line item xxxxx/xx!!!!!!
    I have configured the DIP Profile YBR00099 as below.
    The characteristics Activity Number, Activity Type and Cost Elemnt were given the Material Determination Check.
    The source is---- " Actual Costs and Line Items " with 100 Percent, No sets are used for the source characteristics.
    In the Material Determination a Blank Item is used with a Check for the field " Material Direct"
    In the Material Determination Criteria for the Blank Material, it is configured as below;
    Activity Type            No Set Used - No Value used
    Activity NUmber        No Set Used - No Value used
    Cost Element           YBR-Material-01(Set values are 608110 and   * )
    Note : the above configuration was done using the Config guide AS IS.
    The material that was used in the Service order is not maintained in the  ODP1 transaction ---> Material Determination.. instead ,only a blank material is used and configured as above.
    The subsequent Process should continue as follows;
    5. After saving the billing request, two more line items are determined in the repair order.
    6. Debit memo is created using the repair order. where the Actual confirmed hours of service and spare parts confirmed if any are billed for the customer.
    Basically I am very much new to this RRB concept and I was facing the above error and could n't be able to proceed further.
    Please help me in this regard.
