AFS Material Indicator in ME23N

Hello,
I have a technical requirement where I'm creating a PO using ABAP object class in a program. However, I find that the AFS material indicator in the item data is not ticked.
I wish to know what are the criteria on when this indicator is marked.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
If PO is being created using AFS material but still the AFS indicator (J_3AFSKZ) is not set, please check if your batch has been set unique at the Plant level in your system.
If it is not set at the plant level, please change the batch management to plant level. Please refer note 41715 for more details.
Probably, this material is AFS material but without having grid i.e. NO GRID material. Table MARA denotes that this material is AFS material. But in EKPO where the PO item data is stored field J_3AFSKZ is blank. Because of this incorrect entry 8J - 607 error message is issued.
Please delete the PO and recreate it and try posting GR for the newly create PO.
I hope this information helps you.

Reg. sizewise material price for AFS material

Dear Experts
In AFS material how to give size wise material price. Because AFS has size and color in Grid.
Thanks in advance
Rajakumar.K

Dear Rajkumar,
You need to do the following.
Please check the Pricing indicator of that material in the material master - under AFS sales Data view.
If you want to carry out Grid level prizing - the pricing indicator should be 01.
And also ensure the following..
In SPRO - IMG - SD - Basic Functions - Pricing - Pricing control - Define AFS specific condition types.
Check the check box - Dim.Condition(for Grid level pricing) - against your condition type - which will make the condition type to be treated as AFS-specific.
The same answer is available in the forum.. Refer the link - answer gn by me..

Strategy 50 for AFS material

Hi,
In my current project we use AFS material, For a finished material we use strategy 50, after creating planned independent requirement, without running MRP, in stock requirements we can able to see the planned orders. How is this possible?. Also Without having sales orders, we are able to convert the planned order to production order for finished product.
Kindly guide me, how I can come out from this problem.
Regards,
Umashankar

Hi Umashankar,
It seems the transaction dependent MRP is activated in your system and becos of this when ever there is a MRP relevant change from the transactions listed in transaction group the MRP will trigger automatically in background.In your case please check if transaction J3A1 is maintained in the list of transactions.
The planned independent requirements for the strategy group 50 will be of type VSE which is not supported in AFS. AFS supports only the requirements type VSF (strategy 40).
Thanks,

Issue with the material field in ME23N after upgrade

Hi Experts,
We are having an issue with transaction ME23N in ECC6.0 after upgrade from 4.6c.
In this transaction for the given PO the value of the material is not populating. The material coloumn is displaying but the value of the material is not coming.
For the same PO with the same data we are able to see the material number in ME23N in 4.6c.
Please help me to resolve this.
Thanks,
Rakesh

Hi,
If you are a functional consultant then check the configuration settings in SPRO and compare it with the one in 4.6c system to find if the material number display in ME23N is enabled in your new system or not. Go to tcode SPRO and Material Management-> Purchasing->Purchase Order->Define Screen Layout at Document level.
Execute this and select on ME21N or tcode that you are having problem with. Then press details button and double click on Enjoy fields. Check if it Display check box is ticked or not.

"order as direct material" indicator is not coming in Shopping Cart.

Hi Experts,
I am trying to perform the employee self service procurement for a direct material. I have performed the below config and attribute maintenance.
1. Defined a new transaction type and new number range for local PO in SRM Config
2. In R/3 Back-End, for the same document type, I have ensured that number range is present
3. For my Root Organization, I have added "DP_PROC_TY" for "Transaction Type: Create PO manually" maintained with my above transaction type defined
4. I have selected my local P Group and added 001 Product Category with R/3 Back-end system as source system in "Responsibility" tab
After that I have started created Shopping Cart expecting to find "Order as Direct Material" indicator in Shopping Cart details.
But I could not be able to see that indicator in Shopping Cart. What I see is Product Category 001 but different P Group is coming.
Is this the reason, what I am missing. Please help.
Thanks & Regards

Dear Experts,
Here my client asking to run the MRP for sales order wise. recently we did the AFS implementation for one of our client. there is an common T-code for MRP run, for AFS material is /AFS/MD02 . they are using material based BOM ( Bill of material). so there might be common material for different sales order i.e if am using material XXXX for Sales order 500 mean , same material will present in Sales order 510 too. current system
( T-code /AFS/MD02) will run MRP of material XXXX Both 500,510 sales order but my requirement is i need to restrict to single sales order.
any one guide me to resolve my requirements.
Thanks in advance...
Regards,

Dear Venkat,
You are right MD50 does not support AFS material.
Please Try running : /AFS/MD02.
Also Check SAP Note: Note 981747 - FAQ - AFS Production Planning

"Import Material Indicator" 0HC_IMPMIND ?

Hi Experts!
I need load the IO "Import Material Indicator" (0HC_IMPMIND ), this is an 0material attribute, but is not been loaded..
How can I do to load this?
Thank you in advance!

Hi Satyajit
1) Maintain normal PO including net value and othe duty conditions
2) Process MIRO for goods and delivery costs simultaneously.
3) Maintain zero amount for goods item and actual values for the duties (Ensure selection of goods item including delivery cost items)
4) Save the IV document
5) Observe PO item history got updated with IR-L and DCIn. (IR-L will updated with zero amount)
6) Then go ahead with MIGO w.r.t. IR document
7) GR FI document will get updated with the non-set off duty values only.
warm regards

How to use the direct material indicator in Plan Driven Procurement?

Dear Experts,
How the system determine the procurement as direct material procurement in Plan driven scenario? In case of manual shopping cart, the system determines the direct material /indirect material procurement based on the check box 'Order as direct material'
indicator.
Now in case of plan driven procurement, where the requisition comes from ECC system, there is no way to indicate in the MM system for direct material?
Could you please enlighten me here?
Thanks and regards,
Ranjan

Hi Ranjan,
In case of manual shopping cart, system at that point does not know whether the material procured has inventory management maintained or material valuation. Hence we need to specify option of 'Order as direct material'.
But when requisition is created in ECC system, SAP system already is aware of direct procurement since material used will have material master / Inventory management / Material valuation / Storage location etc maintained. And the info or some indicator will be sent to front end SRM system accordingly.
Moreover it does not really matter for front-end SRM system to check whether it's a direct or indirect procurement since all procurement processes followed in SRM will be exactly same.
Hope this provides some kind of understanding for your questions.

How to load AFS Material Master records.

Hello everyone,
I am new to loading AFS Material Master records. In the past I have simply used the Material Master direct input programs, or batch input, to load the data. Because of the extra AFS fields, I was guessing there must be a new direct input program, or batch input, for it. Maybe there is a IDOC that must be used?
Any help will be appreciated. Thank you all.

Hey there again, I just wanted to bring this subject back up again.
I always took it for granted the we loaded materials in batches. We would load basic data for some materials and then extend the plant data, then sales, storloc data, warehouse data. That is a total of 5 files one after the other. I never really thought of why we did this, but now that I think about it maybe we did because it only took a little bit of data to create the basic data. When you extend the plant data, you do not need to enter in the data already created from the initial basic data load. Sales data only required so much so you could skip all the unnecessary basic and plant data.
Is that why you loaded in batches, because it is easier to extend?
If you wanted to you could have all the basic, plant, sales, purchasing data on one record if you really wanted to. Why didnu2019t you do it that way?
Thanks for the input.

Updating Cnfigurable Material through IDOC to AFS material master

Hi Guru's,
Well i am trying to create a afs material through IDOC, i created all the views in the afs material master using /AFS/MATMAS type in WE19 and i got the result as well all the master data views came. But the thing is i am not able to pass the configurabile material in MRP3. As of , SDN or OSS note is saying that it is not possible to do that.
I hope there will be some possiblities to get done it. It will be greatfull if any one provide the information about it.
Thanks and Regards,
Madhu.G

Hi Gurus,
Well my previous question about the creating configurable material through IDOC.?
At last we find the solution for that, as in SAP OSS note says there is nopossibility in some way and also said that STD PD field was added wrongly in /AFS/MATMAS05.
But the ultimate solution is we need to add a segment in the IDOC which contains the characteriastics will be updated automatically and add up the segment E1CUCFG.
Here is the solution:
*add up the segment E1CUCFG
Thanks & Regards,

Delivery dateis not changing...afs material..

hi,
in our project we are using afs material.this material is extended to two plants.when an order is created in one plant ,the atp check is done and is saved.after that if we are changing the plant the delivery date has to change because of difference in planned delivery time from plant to plant.But it is not happening and it is showing the same delivery date of the first plant wihout atp check....why is it so?

Hi Kapildev,
Thanks for your reply.
But this will be also available in standard sap.In standard SAP if at all we change the plant and without using availability icon the delivery dates will change.Similarly is there any option to see the changed delivery dates in AFS by just changing the palnts.
Can you please provide the document regarding this if u have any information.
Regards,
Deepak.
