Any ideas why placing Material and Plant in same DIMENSION is a bad idea?

Hi,
I place Material and Plant in the same dimension and a colleague argued that it is a bad combination in the same dimension although he did not explain.
Can you provide some examples to explain to me why this is a good or bad combination?
What are the rules in making decisions on which characteristics go into the same dimension?
Thanks

1.
m:n relation
If I place a Material and Plant in a dimension, let's say 5 plants and 1000 materials, then there will be 5 x 1000 = 5000 material-plant combinations.
1. Is this 5000 material-plant combination taking place in the Dimension or in the cube?
In the dimension table.
Remember we are trying to see that the size of the dimension table is lot smaller than the size of the fact table.
m:1 relation
Similarly, if I place a Material and in a dimension, let's say 5 Material Groups and 1000 Materials, then there will be 5 x 1000 = 5000 Material-Material-Group combinations.
2. What is the difference between the
5000 Material-Material-Group combinations &
5000 Material-Plant combinations ?
Here the example is wrong. Imagine if 200 materials each fall under one material group, then there are not 5000 combinations but only 5 material groups with 200 each.
3. And why does one improves performance over the other
i.e. why is the
5000 Material-Material-Group combinations better than that of 5000 Material-Plant combinations
In the second case the dimension table is lot smaller and improves performance.

Plannning Material and Plant for MRP Run

Hi,
If I have a material (01) extended on 2 plants, on one plant (A) we have production and planning/MRP + stock and on the other one (B), just stocking and transfer. B's requirements are to be entered and planned at A. I also want stock at B to be considered with stock at A when MRP runs at A. In the material master, I have some settings. I want to know if these would be any good:
Material 01 on Plant A:
MRP PD
Strategy 40
Lot size EX
Coverage profile applied
Material 01 on Plant B:
MRP ND/PD tried both
Strategy 40
Lot size EX
Coverage profile applied (same)
Planning material: Material 01 itself
Planning plant: Plant A
I particularly want to know about points 5 and 6. Will they make any difference if I run MRP on scope of planning(all plants) or just plant A? Will stock at B be considered? What difference does that setting make in my case? Please help!
Thanks!

No sales on Plant A. Only transfers and STO's. Stock is STO'd to Plant B (and other Plants, as well)
Plant B sells the stock.
Yes, I want to load the forecast in Plant A (COPA to SOP to DM to MRP). What do I do in this case?
I tried another case, as well. In that I put a special procurement on the material in Plant B view and marked it as external procurement. (the planning material and plant were there, didn't remove)
Then I entered the forecast in both plants separately (PIRs for both Plants) The requirements from Plant B made STPO Planned orders in Plant B and STCK Planned orders in Plant A. I am using coverage profiles (period is month, standard length 25 days, target 10 days for 1st period for 2 months, target 10 days for 2nd period for 1 month, target 10 days for the rest of the horizon) Not using any consumption modes.
The results I am getting don't make sense to me. I have attached screen shots for both plants MD04 and the MRP + work scheduling views

Characteristics values for material and plant

Hi Experts,
I need to fetch characterstic values from a class Y-xx . I belive badi BAPI_CLASS_GET_characteristics
will give the result but my problem is in selection screen I am passing material no and plant
for this material and plant i need to fetch the characteristics values from the Y_xx class
Could any one suggest the BADI or FM or tables to fetch the results
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Go to MEK2, here enter the freight condition type, go to the output screen as pr the access maintained and select the line item and click on "Scales" button to see the from and to value.
Also you can check the same in "Conditions" button in Purchase Info record.

Outbound delivery allows only the unrestricted stock for particular material and plant

Hi,
In STO I have an problem the outbound delivery creations allows all stocks under unrestricted, Quality inspection, Block stock.
I want the outbound delivery creation of a particular material and plant it allows only the stock under the unrestricted only. It doesn't allows the stocks under the Quality inspection and Block stocks.
I need to know how to configure this or how to solve my requirements.
Regards,
Ramesh N

Dear Mohammed ,
as per your scenario , there is two movement type has to trigger in the Delivery level according to the plant and material combination .
as per my knowledge it will not configurable in standard process . this will possible with user exit logic only .
follow the below logic to achieve your issue .
you have to create two item categories and two schedule lines with (655 &653) , that means your movement type has to trigger at sales order level only . write a logic in the user exit - MV45AFZZ -USEREXIT_MOVE_FIELD_TO_VBAP , if this combination matches then automatically item category has to over write other wise it will copy the existing item category .at delivery level you can see two movement types in item level.
wait for other experts solution , if any standard is possible or not .

Characteristic values for the material and plant combination...

Hi Friends,
I would like to know how can we maintain the characteristic values for the combination of Material and Plant though the material is not batch managed?
Thanks in advance,
Ram

Hi Rajendra,
Thanks for quick reply. I am maintaining under classification view but it does not ask plant any where. So the value will be same across all the plants but i want to maintain characteristic values separately under each plant for same material.

User Exit to check whether chapter id for Material and Plant combination is maintained while creating sales order

Hello all,
my requirement is, system should give error message while creating sales order, if chapter ID is not maintained for a material and plant combination.
please suggest the user exit.

Hi
CASE 1 : All Plants are excisable.
In Material master , Foreign Trade data tab- mentioned Control code field mandatory. ( i.e nothing but Chapter ID)
CASE 2 : Few Plants are excisable
In the Case 2 you need to go for Enhancement
Program Name : MV45AFZB
User Exit: USEREXIT_CHECK_VBAP ( Item Level Check )
By using above user exit you write a logic with the help of ABAPer
Plant and Chapter ID combination table : J_1IMTCHID

Need help on enhancement of 0CO_OM_OPA_1 with Material and Plant

Hi,
I have a requirement that need to build a BW report which shows Actual costs and Planned Costs of Service Orders. We are getting Actual costs from 0CO_OM_OPA_6 and now i am getting planned costs from 0CO_OM_OPA_1. For actual costs we are getting Service Orders, Material and plant from Satandard DS 0CO_OM_OPA_6. Where as For Planned Costs standard data source 0CO_OM_OPA_1 is not having Material and Plant information. For this we decided to enhance 0CO_OM_OPA_1 with Material and Plant.
But we are not sure the source tables for material and plant and the logic to extract these data from the tables. Can anybody please help me out.
Thanks for your supprt in advance.

It's possible you may need to use a CO-PA (profitability analysis) datasource instead of 0CO_OM_OPA_6. 0CO_OM_OPA_6 extracts data from CO tables.
Based on the path you provided "...Profit. segment...", the requested data might exist with CO-PA.
If you determine the required data resides in CO-PA, you'll have to create a datasource based on the operating concern. You can perform a search within the online docs for steps to create this datasource.
Hope this helps.

Transaction code to display exception messages by material and plant

Hi,
Is there a transaction code or standard report in SAP to display exception messages by material and plant? I see the exception messages by individual material and plant in MD04 but I need to see a collective view. I tried Collective access in MD04 and MD46 but they are not giving me exception groups but I need exceptions listed out by material and plant.
Thanks.

Visu,
I have never seen such a report.
MD06 does support fine tuning the output display, once the list has been generated. If you use this feature, the resulting display is the entire list as created by selecting the initial parameters (such as exception group), but with the specific items that contain your selected message highlighted. If you are addressing the messages interactively, you can select the review (glasses) screens, and scroll through just the ones which contain your selected exception message(s).
To try this, execute MD06. Select the groups as necessary. Execute. Wait for the list. Now, immediately, select 'search' (binoculars). Experiment with the output.
As mentioned in the previous post, if MD06 does not meet your needs, you will need to have a custom report written.

               TABLES
                   PLANTDATA = LT_PLANT
                   PLANTDATAX = LT_PLANTX.
Check the PLANTDATA in the above fm in which pass your ''STEUC'' to BAPIE1MARCRT-CTRL_CODE......

My imessaging is not working and I've tried everything to fix it. I'm not even able to sign in to my Apple ID! Any reason why this is and how I can fix it?

I've tried eveything to fix my iMessage and nothing is working. I can't even log onto my Apple ID. This only happened after the update and started occuring about an hour ago. Any idea on what's wrong and how to fix it?

Try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose any data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches.
If this does not help, setting it up as new device would be the next step:

Inforecord with Vendor, Material and Plant combination information.

Hi All,
I Want to extract Info records with the combination of Material, Vendor and plant.
As i tried in a017, EINE and EINA.
Thanks a lot.
Warm Regrds,
Syam Kumar
Edited by: Syam Kumar Dodda on Oct 6, 2011 10:28 PM

ME1M can be used.
If your writing query using A017, the system won't let you do that due to performance issue of select statement for pooled tables, you need use a different approach using ABAP program.
