Advice to create a material type (Semi finished, finished or spare parts)

Hello all!
I am facing a big problem to how to create a material type ?
In my case, this material (engine) is finished good in one plant (let's say 100) and in the same time it's considered as Semi finished good in another plant (200 for example) and we can also sell it as spare parts (plant 200).
So, i don't know if i will created as finished good or semi finished or spare parts in MM01 transaction? What do you think?

Lamine,
Creating an material with type as Semifinsihed and Extending sales view to the article will solve your problem.. Also according to your scenario, i hope you are using SPK for transfer of SEMI FInished Goods from  Plant 100 to Plant 200. If this is there in the MRP view. you will not have any problem in this scenario. You can directly sale from Plant 100 and During MRP run for Plant 200 the material will be used in Plant 200 as Semifinished. Also as Sales view is extended in Plant 200 you can also sell it as Spare parts.

  • Field Ref. and SRef,mat type when creating new material types

    Hi,
    While creating new material type we are giving the Filed ref. on that basis sytem find which fields are option mand. etc. below the filed ref. there is also SRef for material type , why this fileld is use ? if this is screen sequence ref. then what is use of industry sector when creating material bcoz industry sector also determines the scrren ref. then which will follow when we creat the material.
    regards,
      zafar

    Hi,
    SRef is the Screen reference .
    You have to create the Sref then it should assign depending on the transaction.
    Grouping of transactions that determines what screens are displayed depending on the transaction when you maintain material master records. It also determines the order in which the screens appear.
    The screen reference Transaction is in table T130M.
    In material master the first reference is industry sector,then specific to the industry sector what is the material type & screen sequence.

  • Converting Damaged Finished Goods to Spare Parts

    Dear Experts,
    Our customer deals in water heaters.
    They have a process of taking the damaged water heaters from customer as receipt. post the receipt if it can be repaired it will be repaired and given back to the customer or if it cannot be repaired then they see if it is with in warranty then they replace the product and if it is not within warranty then ask the ask the customer to buy a new one.
    If the damaged water heater cannot be repaired then they un-assemble the water heater and take whatever the good spare parts and take the spare parts into inventory.
    Now what is the best way to map this process in SAP. That is how to convert the FG water heater to spares parts. Is there any movement type available for this ?
    Regards,
    Sohan

    Hi Sohan,
    This scenario is a Sales After market scenario. Please check with SAP SD consultant to address this scenario.
    In case if you want to address through MM Route,  Please check following prerequisite:-
    Payment must be processed to Customers/Vendors upon receipt of the Water Heaters.
    Water Heaters must be loaded to Valuated inventory stock upon receipt.
    Checking warranty can not be incorporated in SAP MM.
    Decision of Repair and Warranty could not be captured in MM.
    Reg the process of repair, you can have it via a Sub Contracting Scenario.
    Thanks

    Prerequisites for creating FG Material type..
    Views in Materila type as; MRP, SALES, Accounting, Costing, Workscheduling, Quality management...some case if you procure this material then add Purchasing View also.
    Sales: Need to enter shpping point and Transportation.
    MRP : Need to maintian MRP type and Lot size details.
    Accounting : need to maintian GL account and Price control.
    If Quality management is there the nadd this views also.

  • Change material type - vendor stock

    material A is setup as semi-finished but it should be finished.  unfortunately vendor stock exists so there is an error when using MMAM.  how can you change the material type to a finished good?  i think there was a oss note explaining how to temporarily remove the stock for this but i can not locate it?
    thank you

    Hi,
    In your case I will try create a new material (finished) and then performs a stock transfer between both materials.
    Keep in mind that this is only possible when both materials have the same unit measure. It doesn't care the material type.
    After post the transfer, delete the semi-finished material

  • Field selection for Material Type

    Hi,
    When we create the material type we are assigning a field ref. in Define Material attributes screen, and when we are creating the industry sector there also we are assigning a field  screen reference.
    No when we creat a materail with MM01, and if Field ref. is different in Industry sector and material type then which system will follow when we create the material it will be ref. to field selection in Material type or industry sector.
    regards,,
    zafar

    Zafar,
    When you talkout Material type is basically controls the properties of a Material like important control fucntions and attributes.
    That is inturn, like Field selection, Special material type, Type of Procurement, Stock (Qty &Value) updation, User departments and Price control. But,
    where as Field selection is control key which consits of some setoff fields which are subjected to a perticular Industry sector like, Plant &Construction, Mechanical Industry, Pharmacuetical Industry, Chemical Industry, etc. In this case field selection is different from Industry to Industry, but in some cases field selection is common for the similar kind of Industries or Industry sectors.
    And the Field selection is subjected to the Material type as well, that means each material type can have their own Field selection (it is named with a field selection key 3 char sap code for field selection).
    Comming to the Creation of Material master record : using MM01  ( create material -general)
    here, you need to select the material type and industry sector --> then you need to choose the relevent user departments and subsequently plant, sloc.etc.
    Note: when you are creating the material in the above fasion, you need to enter the relevent data which is w.r.to the user departments which you have choosen, and those inturn reflect from this control data ( attributes and important control functions as I said is the definition of Material type).
    And this is how a material is created, wether it can be a Raw material, Semi finished Product or Finished Product, etc.
    Note: There is an option to create your own Material Types, but SAP suggests to use standard Material type when you create material master record, unless otherwise a special requirement comes from your client is from Specific Industry sector or if running a special kind of business which is not yet dragged into the SAP R/3 system.
    Hope this will clarifies your query.

  • Issue in selecting material types as a saleable material

    I have created different material types for finished good , like finished good, trading goods , physician sample , imported physician sample and promo materials.
    i want at the time of sales all above types of material should be available for sale.
    kindly help me out that how can i restrict system to sale only these material types.

    Hi shadab
    For the material types you want to sell stocks update the value and quantity and value in OMS2 for the plant where as for the material types which you don't wont to sell the stock don't update the quantity and value in OMS2 for the plant.Secondly for the material types which you don't want to sell the stock also don't maintain any stock.
    But if you want all above material types for sale then maintain stock to create sales order and in OMS2 also update the quantity and value for the plant

  • Material Type - Movement Type Link

    Hello,
    Need you help in following scenario.
    We are doing stock transfer of packing materials (with mat type - ZPKG) from one plant to another. When PGI is being done against the delivery, it takes the movement type as 601 i.e. "GD goods issue:delvy" whereas it should show the movement as 641 i.e. "TF to stck in trans." and when receiving plant would do MIGO - it should hit the stock with movement type 101.
    When same activity is done for Semi Finished Goods (with mat type - ZSFG), the PGI takes proper movement type i.e. 641.
    Pl. let me know whether there is any link between material type and movement type.
    Thanks & Regards
    Ratna

    Hello Revi & Dilli babu,
    Thanks a lot for your reply.
    It helped me to find the solution.
    Actually for material type - Semi Finished Goods the item category in delivery doc was 'NLN' whereas for material type - Packing Material - it was 'HUPM'. But both the materials have same item category group as 'NORM'.
    While item category 'NLN' is assigned to Schedule Line Category - 'NN' which has movment  type - 641, item category 'HUPM' is assigned to Schedule Line Category - 'CN' which has movment  type - 601.
    In both the orders the order type is UB - i.e. Stock transfer order.
    Our SD person will do the setting accordingly.
    Thanks again.
    Regards
    Ratna

  • How to shift valuation class from one material type to another material type ?

    I have came across following weird scenario:
    We already created huge no.of materials of material type say ZABC with two valuation classes say 1100 and 1200(GL accounts for these VCs for different posting keys in OBYC settings are same). Account category reference for this material type is 0010.
    After that we created new material type say ZPQR  with new Account category reference 0025, and valuation class 1200 is linked with this ACR 0025. Because of this, valuation class 1200 disappeared from material type ZABC. In order to avoid inconsistency, we need to have valuation class 1200 linked with older material type i.e.ZABC.How we can do this ? What impacts must have happened in this period (from MM/FI) in the system, where valuation class get shifted from one material type(ZABC) to another material type(ZPQR)....please help us in this scenario.

    Thanks Sana,
    We are also looking for the solution provided by you i.e. reassign ACR 0010 to Valuation class 1200.
    Your are also correct in terms of  statement "config doesnt allow me to assign same valuation class to 2 different AREF (Account reference number/Account category reference).
    I wanted to know, what are the possible impacts in the system during this re-assignment of ACR to old material type ZABC.

  • Material type for - Diesel

    Hi Friends,
    My Client is Construction Equipment leasing company.
    They lease (Say Generator ) on lease, they also sell Diesel along with that machine.
    For Diesel, which material type we use?? I thought of using (HIBE - Operating Supplies) but it doesnt have Sales View {other option - i can configure copy of HIBE with Sales View} .
    Any other material type we can use for Diesel.
    Regards,
    Jackie

    you can create own material types or change SAP given material types to your local needs.
    if you want sales views for HIBE, then add it.
    if you dont produce Diesel, just buy and sell, then it is usually a trading good HAWA.

  • How to change Material Type

    Hi All,
    I have created new material type as ZINS ( Insurance spares ).
    Now,I have to change ZSPR ( Spares) material to ZINS material type.
    In system there are no liabilities for this material.But ,I am getting following error while executing T-code :-MMAM.
    Error :- " Change Material Type
    The material type cannot be changed.
    The reasons for this are:
    QM inspection data exists for the material. In this inspection data,
    it is defined that a plan is required for the inspection. However,
    inspection plans are not allowed for the new material type.
        Plant
        1100
        6001
    Task lists already exist for specific TL types for the material
    The new material type does not allow assignment of task lists for these TL types "
    I want to know is there any settings required while creating new material type in quality module,as this error seems to be related to Quality module.
    Please help,as this is very much urgent.
