Approval for material return issued against the Work Order

Hello,
We are using PM module and issuing materials against the work order. Many times users are returning the un-used material back to stores. This un-used material may come back <b>with or without</b> work order reference. i.e. Sometimes they just return bunch of material but don't know the work order # against it was issued initially.
We need to control this flow of un-used return material through proper system approval.
How can do this.
Thanks,

Hi,
In standard SAP There is no approval process to return the material.
I have one work around , you can create one PM order to return the material & instruct your store people to receive the material only with reference to PM order.
With out releasing a PM order, system will not allow to post the goods return.
I hope it may help you.
Regards,
Manish

STO creation against the Work Order

How to specify the source plant or source storage location within PM Work Order for the components/materials.
Currently on the components page of work order, we can specify the material and vendor. In our case the vendor is other storage location within same plant or diff. plant.
How can we specify the source in components page so that PRs and reservations are created correctly.
In details here is the problem-
During work order (PM Order) creation user is specifying a non-stock material and issuing storage location "0002". The material will be issued by sto. loc. 0002.
Storage location "0002" sources this material from other storage location "0001".
So we want to generate a Purch Req. with item category "U", account assignment 'F" (with work order) and ability to specify the source plant-storage location.
But the system is creating a normal expense PR with account assignment "F" to the work order. This PR is having grayed out item category so not able to convert into Stock Transport STR by specifying the source plant and storage location.

Hi MM
Have you solved your problem? What did you do to create the STR?

Final issue indicator on the general data button on the work order

Hi Gurus,
can anybody please let me know why the final issue check box is checked automatically even before the goods are issued via migo against the work orders. This check box is on the general data tab of the material entered on the components tab of the work order. Please help. As a result of this, the store room clerk cannot issue the material againsth the work order, because this check mark is checked. I want to understand what is causing the check mark to be checked automaticallu even before tthe materials are issued out
Thanks
ANusa

Hello!
This might have occured due to completion confirmation of order before goods issue. Generally this happens if final issue indicator is set as default in completion confirmation tab. Please check and reply if problem is something else.

Material Availablity check of the Process Order......

Hi there,
If the reservations of material are made against the process order & the material is not available and the stock is expected in near future........ then during the material availablity check of the process order........will it show that the material is available............
Please elucidate me.......
Thanks
Kaushik

Hi Kaushik,
Availability check is an integral part of the business process that determines if the required delivery quantity can be met on a required delivery date.
Therefore the system checks the current available quantity of stocks.........
but, for example imagine if the available stocks are not sufficient to meet the order............then the system checks replenishment lead time of the material i.e. time taken for the material to become available either internally (in house production) or externally (from a vendor) and then issues a material availability date.........i.e. date on which material would be available for delivery.
Depending on the above checks, the systems issues the delivery date.

Goods return against maintenance work order exceeds goods issue

Is there a way to prevent returning more quantity (262 movement type done within MB1A) than was issued (261 movement type done within MIGO_GI) against a maintenance work order component?
Thanks in advance,
Rick

Hi,
Movement Types 261 and 262 works in Planned as well as in Unplanned both ways.
If you do Goods Issue w.r.t. Maintenance/Work Order (Movement Type - 261) then components and their quantity get defaulted from the reservation created automatically during order creation and system does not allow us to issue more that the quantity in reservation.
Similarly when you cancel the Goods Issue Document then it hits Movement Type 262 automatically and does not allow to edit the quantity.
The above two processes are planned ways.
Now when you want to do extra consumption of components against Maintenance/Work Order then you do not do Goods Issue > Order, instead of this you do Goods Issue > Others and then specify all the necessary details manually (Like; material, quantity, etc...) and enter Maintenance/Work Order as an Account Assignment on which the cost is getting loaded.
Similarly when you are receiving materials from Maintenance/Work Order using option Goods Receipt > Others then here also there is no control and you can receive any quantity from Maintenance/Work Order since here also Maintenance/Work Order is working as an account assignment not a control document.
The above two processes are unplanned ways.
So in short, there is not any control on this movement when it is unplanned.

Posting multiple goods issues against the same delivery

Hello gurus,
We are a fashion apparel company using ECC 6.0 and would like to know if it is possible to post mutliple goods issues against the same delivery?
I will explain the business requirement.
- We create a stock transport order to deliver 400 units of merchandise to on or our retail stores (STO is created and processed to a delivery).
- This information is passed down to our warehouse management system (which is not SAP)
- Our warehouse management system has the ability to split a delivery into multiple shipment when needed. For example, our warehouse may only be able to complete 250 units for our morning shipment and will therefore pick, pack and post this. This will feed back into SAP and process a 641 movement so that the units now show as "in transit". This is needed so that our stores can process the ASN and move the units into their inventory when they receive the merchandise later that day.
- During the afternoon, our warehouse will process the remaining 150 units and will ship this to our store later in the evening or next day.
Currently, we are not able to process another goods issue against a delivery as we close out the delivery during the first goods issue. We would prefer not to have to generate a new delivery for our DC and let them continue to process against the same delivery, but we are unsure how to configure this.
Any help or guideance would be extremely appreciated
Thanks in advance

Hi RJ,
First of all sorry to write such a lengthy reply,In one line if i want to summerize then it is not possible with standard SAP however we can achieve this by writing some piece of code in both the system
AS - IS
               Business process
          From business process point of view you are right that once the pick & pack is in process it is not advisable to create a new delivery document for balance quantity and share the same with WMS as then they have to create a new document in WMS and start picking based on that rather then the old delivery document number. if i am in your position then i can give a thought like this
e.g.
Delivery                                                  - 100 Unit
Shipment confirmation from WMS            -   60 Unit
Change in delievry quanity / Pick qty        -   60 Unit
Invoice from SAP                                    -   60 Unit
Second confirmation from WMS                          -   40 Unit
Change in the existing delivery quantity                -   Now here we have two option either
1) Change the delivery quantity / Pick qty to (60+40) =100 or
2) Remove the 60 and update 40 as delivery and pick quantity
Pros & Cons
if you will select option 1 then furhter invoice will happen for 100 unit which is incorrect as physically you are shipping only 40 unit
if you are selecting option 2 then the document flow is incorrect as you don't have history(in SAP) for the 60 unit which was shipped earlier
Solution ::
so in my opinion the best option is to create a seperate delivery document (store the old delviery number in one of the field of the new delivery and pass the same to custom segment of the IDoc) transmit the IDoc to WMS write the validation logic in WMS
Find the record with old deliver number in the WMS system, check the status whether it is active or inactive
if it is acitive Validate the Material + qty with the WMS record(Material + balance quantity) if both are same then pass the new deliery number to custom field of the WMS table
At the time of confirming back to the SAP, Write a piece of code in SAP that if the incoming idoc custom field(new delivery number) field is populated then ignore the orignal document number and post the document using the new delivery document number
Hope this help

Approval for Material Master Creation !

Dear All ,
My requirement is to have approval process for Material master. is it possible.?
My Client is expecting approval process same like PO ( release strategy )
Is there any standard approval process for every masters which are created as part of MM transactions.
Can it be achieved by means of any workflow.?
Thanks
Jinoy

Hi,
Yes it can be achieved by Work flow & also through the Enterprise Portal development.
If you have Workflow consultant you can take a help in setting up the approval for Material master creation.
If you want high fund & centralization of Material master you can go for EP development but Cost & effort will be on higher side.
Discuss with your Workflow consultant he will help you.

Down payment against the Internal Order - for Capital Expenditure

Dear friends
I am getting an error while making down payment against the purchase order.
The order of my entries or steps are as follows:
Created one internal order for Capital WIP with budget and availability control activation.
Created one purchase order against a vendor with reference to the above Internal Order.
When I am making the down payment to the vendor through tcode:F-48, the system throwing an error
"Define Cost Elements for Down Payments".
Can any one please explain why this error is coming. When I checked in Internal orders, there is a TCode: OKEP for Define Default Cost Elements for Down Payments.
System is asking for cost element, but where as what ever the down payment we are making is nothing but advance which is current asset. Why system is asking for cost element?
Can any one give me the guidance how to handle the issue.
Thanks in Advance
Kiran Kumar A

The reason is when you want the down payment for AUC to be capitalised, then you would need to create cost element for Downpayments.
Normally as per design of SAP, down payment being a Balance Sheet Account (Current Asset as you rightly mentioned) doesnot need / accept an Cost object, as a special case since down payments for AUC needs to be capitalised and hence need to be carried to Controlling (Internal Order) by creating Cost Element for Downpayments.
Go ahead and create the cost element. That would resolve your issue.

About N-step approve for SC item issue

Dear all,
        We used application controll workflow,And active the WS14500015 N-step approve for SC item,and imp the BADI,Now our issue:
SC have two items,there are approve step:
item1   approver01      approver02    approver03      3 step approve,
item2   approver11      approver12                          2 step approve.
When order the SC,user approver01 can receive the task about item1, user approver11 can receive   the tast about item2,Now user approver01 approve his task,if user approver11 didn't approve his task,then about item1's workflow will hold it,the system didn't triger the next step to user approver02,if user approver11 approve his task,then item1 's workflow triger the next step to user approver02 and item2's workflow tiger the next step to user approver12.
    who can help me,why the system flow this logic?
    We need the logic's :user approver01 approve his task,if user approver11 didn't approve or did approve his task,then about item1's workflow allways triger the next step to user approver02.
Edited by: bill yang on Apr 29, 2011 2:45 PM

Hi,
It is designed that way.
When item 2 is rejected, requester may want to change item 1. So WF should wait for creating next level workitem until all items are rejected/approved.

Need help on IDoc for Picking, Packing and PGI against the Sale order

Hi All,
I am new to this IDoc stuffs. Below is the scenario for which I would like to know the details of the IDoc...
Business Case:
1. Storage location is a HU Managed but not WM managed.
2. This storage locations is managed by a third party
3. Outbound delivery document against the SO will be created by our personnels in SAP for this storage location.
4. Picking, Packing and PGI needs to happen/post via Idoc. (By packing here, i refer to assign the HUs that are already created for the materials and is available in the storage location and not repacking)
Is there any standard IDoc that can be used here to Pick, Pack and post PGI. We would like to have picking and packing in a first idoc and PGI on the second idoc.
Thanks,
Prashant

Hi Typewriter,
Thanks for your reply on this post..
The business process is as below (it was changed recently to have the creation of OBD, pick HUS and then post GI via single IDOC)
1. We have a storage loc in our enterprise structure that is HU managed but not WM managed.
2. This storage loc is being maintained by a third party.
3. SO will be created to be shipped out of this plant/sloc.
3. The stocks at this storage loc will be Special stock "E" against the sales order. And the stocks will be Packed in HUs.
4. The third party is informed to deliver the stocks (HUs - that do have the special stock number which internally refers to the the SO number and the line item number) directly to ship to party address in SO.
5. The 3rd party will physically ship the HUs to customer and send in the details that they have shipped goods against the sales order.
6. The details sent by the 3rd party will be received in SAP to create OBD for the sales order, Pick, Pack and post GI. This can happen via a single IDOC..
I am now planning to create a custom IDOC type referring to the standard IDOC type DELVRY03 and message type DESADV and to use a custom BAPI/FM.
Do you think I am using the right ones?
Thanks,
Prashant Kumar

How to use BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE against the Production Order

Hi Friends,
I need ur help very urgently,
I am using the BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE (movement code '03') for goods return against the production order (movement type '262').
everything working fine, ie it gets updated in IM/WM.
but when we check in the CO03 transaction for the production order, the qty withdrwan not gets updated in the component overview. still showing the old value. But when we used regular SAP transaction MB1A, it gets updated in CO03 (qty withdrwan in the component overview).

I have attached the code, plese help me is there any other parameter to set for this BAPI.
