Kaushik Sreeram

Hi Kaushik
I have been seeing your posts since y'day, I think you have just started learning SAP and at each step you are stucking and taking gudence from forum. But I didnt find that you have not given rewards to anyone.
please reward to each useful answer as way to say thanks.
coming to your question, since you have created PO with account assignment (otherwise valuation area is not checked for quantity and value updating in OMS2 transaction code), system is asking to assign correct GL account and cost cetre.
what is material type you are using? first of all let us know do you want create purchase order for account assignment or for stock? if it is for accunt assignment, you need to choose correct cost centre, If it is for stock , first go to OMS2 and chose material type and click on quantity and value updating.
chose valuation area (plant), check quantity updating and value updating and save,
Then you can create PO, it wont ask account assignment.
Good luck

Assign material to plant

I have an existing Material A assigned to Plant Y. I have another plant Z .Now I want to add material A to plant Z. How can I assign this. Pls let me know the tcode.
Many thanks.

Hi,
Goto the Transaction code MM01 and enter the details like
Material
Material type
Industry
and in the COPY FROM number enter the same material and select view
Now it will ask for the Organisation level in which you can find
COPY FROM and COPY TO
In copy from enter the details of Plant in which it already exists and in other plant to which it has to extend
Now in the Sales orga view 1 change the Plant and save.
You will receive the message that " MATERIAL EXTENDED TO PLANT XXXX"
Hope it is clear,
Please revert back if you need more details

CIF: ECC Material without plant assignment

Hi Experts,
i have a question regarding to CIF'ing of ECC materials to APO.
Is it possible to CIF ECC materials to APO without an assignment of a plant to this material? If yes, how is this possible?
We have several materials without such an assignment maintained in ECC (material group packiging material) and they are needed in APO.
Kind regards
Jens

Jens,
When I say 'planning system', I am not talking about predictabiity. I am talking about the generic term concerning the management of supply and demand (which is mostly what APO does).
In ECC, a packaging material is not normally treated as a resource. It is a material. It is unclear to me how you are using packaging materials to represent resources.
A Product master can exist in APO without locations assigned. Therefore, I suspect that using enhancements, it might be possible to CIF across only MARA data and not MARC data, but I have never tried it. Perhaps one of the other Gurus can offer additional insights.

Assign Material Number to plant

Hi all
I already have plant 9903.But how to assign material to this p[articular plant.I tried by using the transaction MM01,MM032,MM03.But i couldnt.I am using the 6.0 version.Please help.
With Regards
Vijay

Hi Vijay,
Do the following step. Go to MM01-> Enter the material-> Select the views-> Enter the Plant for say 9902, Sales Org 0099 and Distribution channel 01. Under sales data view you can find the Delivery plant 9902 and save the material.
If you are changing the existing material then you can use MM02 and follow the same steps and change the delivery plant accordingly. You can also use Transaction code MASS if you want to change many number of materials.
Thanks & Regards,

Purchase service to Vendor assigned to a plant

Hi experts,
I want to do an internal po for a service material type (without plant view) to a vendor who is assigned to a Plant (vendor Master Data -> Adiotinal Purch. Data). Can't delete this assignment because I have a intercompany process wich uses this vendor.
I can create po's with this document type for any vendor except those who are assigned to a plant.
Any suggestions?
When I try to make the po, those are the errors:
- Material not subj. to inventory mgmt. in plant XXXX
- No delivery type defined for supplying plant XXXX and document type YYYY
Edited by: Miguel Figueiredo on Nov 16, 2010 1:02 PM

hi
i think you try using service master than material ,as material DEIN is generally use for sale of service
>Material not subj. to inventory mgmt. in plant XXXX
IMG > Logistics general > material master > Basic Settings > material type > Define Attributes of Material Types
Select your material type and click Quantity/Value update.

Uploading Material and Plant Masterdata

Hi BW experts,
I am trying to upload master data from R/3 Prod for 0Material & 0MAT_PLANT. My upload failed as some of the materials and plants created in R/3 have been created with a space character at the end of the name (i,e '1000 ' as a plant, note the space at the end). This should normally happen as in R/3 a conv exits stops users creating unacceptable names but it seems the exit has been modifed! What a pain!
I have decided to replace the space with a unscore character (i.e '1000_') so this way it can be read into BW, although we would not report on this errornous material or plant name. The code is as follows:
DATA: LEN TYPE I.
LEN = STRLEN( TRAN_STRUCTURE-MATNR ).
TRANSLATE TRAN_STRUCTURE-MATNR+LEN USING ' _'.
and I have used it in the transfer routine for 0PLANT and 0MAT_PLANT. The load goes on but fails with the following error for 0MATERIAL & 0MAT_PLANT:
DATA_OFFSET_TOO_LARGE
CX_SY_RANGE_OUT_OF_BOUNDS
An exception occurred. This exception is dealt with in more detail below
. The exception, which is assigned to the class 'CX_SY_RANGE_OUT_OF_BOUNDS',
was neither
caught nor passed along using a RAISING clause, in the procedure
"COMPUTE_MATERIAL" "(FORM)"
Since the caller of the procedure could not have expected this exception
to occur, the running program was terminated.
The reason for the exception is:
The system tried to access field "TRAN_STRUCTURE-MATNR" with type "C" and
length
18 in the current program "GPBMDZFJE4YBL86FIMHZC52BNOE " using offset 18.
Partial field access is not allowed with an offset specification that is
larger than actual field length.
Could this be due to the code?
Thanks for you help and guidance where you can provide.
DV

Hi Edwin,
I am not too good with ABAP so you may need to help verify the code for me little. Do you mean the code should look like this:
DATA: LEN TYPE I.
LEN = STRLEN( TRAN_STRUCTURE-WERKS ).
TRANSLATE TRAN_STRUCTURE-WERKS+LEN-1 USING ' _'.
If i have the code wrong can you please help?
Thanks Edwin

Differentiate material at plant level

Hi,
I want to differentiate material at plant level.
Example I have a material 3335 in plant 1000 and 1100 but in plant 1000 this material is spare part and in plant 1100 this material is main part so I have to maintain this data at plant level.
I tried to enter this data in plant data tab in material master but it will grey out after I save material master for one plant and when I try to extend the material to another plant it will not allow to change.
I want to know a field where I can maintain this data.
Thanks and Regards
Pavan

you cannot have one material number with several material types.
the material type is even above the material number level, as you assign material number ranges to a group of material types.
You either have to create 2 materials, or one plant has to live with the "wrong" material type name.
More important than the name of material type are the attributes of a material type. As they define what views can be used, what fields will be mandatory or optional....
You will rarely find a transaction in SAP that uses the material type for selection or does show the material type in reports.
So dont build to much logic into the naming.
If you need to seperate spare part from main part n the GL accounts, then you can allow and assign a different valuation class.

About the effect for batch level conversion from material to plant level

Dears,
Now we use batch management at material level in our system, now we want to change to batch level from material level to plant level, what effects or risks it will bring during the process of conversion?
Thanks a lot
Zhongkai

Hi
check the following SAP help link it is very helpful:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_40b/helpdata/es/d2/1d4b6e5733d1118b3f0060b03ca329/content.htm
at the link you can find the following
Specify batch level and activate status management
In this IMG activity, you specify the following:
the level at which batch numbers are unique
whether batch status management is active in the client
the plants in which batch status management is active
the initial status of new batches
Batch level
Batch numbers can be unique at the following levels:
at plant level
at material level
at client level for a material
If you choose plant level, the batch number is unique in conjunction with the respective material and the plant. If you choose material level, the batch number is unique together with the material. At client level, the batch number is unique in the whole client.
To change the batch level, you have to start a conversion program. This program first checks whether conversion is possible and outputs an error log containing all batch numbers that occur more than once at the new level. Now you need to manually transfer these batch records to numbers within Inventory Management using a transfer posting 'material to material'.
If you change the level from plant level to a higher level, it is possible that batches with the same batch numbers in different plants are actually identical. In this case, all you have to do is remove stocks (including previous period stocks) so that all batches with the same batch numbers, except one, can be reorganized.
When you convert from plant level to material level, the material is then to be handled in batches in all plants in which it is defined.
Standard settings
In the standard R/3 System, batches are unique at plant level.
Activities
To change the batch level, proceed as follows:
      1. Choose the level at which you want your batches to be unique.
      2. Save the new settings and choose Back.
      3. Select function Batch level -> Conversion.
      4. If necessary, carry out the conversion in test mode first.
Further notes
Note that you cannot reset conversion from plant level to a higher level in the standard.
If you create a client by copying an existing client, initially, there are no settings in the target client at batch level. The system makes the settings in the target client only when you have carried out an activity (maintaining master data or posting a goods movement, for example).
SETTINGS BEFORE/AFTER CLIENT COPY:
Source client Target client
Client level Material level
Material level Material level
Plant level Plant level
Batch status management
Batch status management is an additional function provided by the standard R/3 System.
Standard settings
Batch status management is not active in the standard R/3 system.
Activities
To activate batch status management, proceed as follows:
      1. Choose Batch status management active.
      2. Save the new setting and choose Back.
      3. Choose Batch status management -> conversion.
      4. If necessary, carry out the conversion in test mode first.
Further notes
Batch status management is linked to the batch level. At material and at plant level, the status management settings are valid within the client, that is for all plants. However, if you have defined batches to be unique at plant level, you have to select the plants in which status management is to be active using function Plants with status management.
If you activate status management, all existing batches are assigned status 'unrestricted'. If you deactivate status management, the systems transfers all restricted batches to unrestricted stock within conversion. Restricted stock only exists if status management is active.
If you create a client by copying an existing client, status management is automatically activated if batches exist in the target client, independent of the settings in the source client. If no batches exist in the target client, it is not activated. In this case, you have to activate or deactivate status management manually, if required.
Plants with batch status management
Activities
To select the plants in which status management is to be active, proceed as follows:
      1. Set characteristic Batch status management for those plants in which batch status management is to be active.
      2. Save your settings and choose function Back.
      3. Choose function Batch status management -> conversion
      4. If necessary, carry out the conversion in test mode first.
Initial status of a new batch
Using this function, you can specify for each material type which initial status new batches are to be assigned. However, if you use a quality management system, this specifies the status of the batches.
Hope it will help
Best Regards

now in purchsing data sub range button will be active
now click on it and create new subrange
then click on alternative data and select purchasing view as per plant , then system will allow you u enter purchasing data to reenter for the specified plant

Missing connection of Material in Plant to Material Ledger

Hi,
We encountered an error when doing GR for PO without Account assignment.
Error: Missing connection of Material in plant to the material ledger.
Issue: Not able to post goods receipt for materials for particular Plant D059 with HIBE material type for purchase order without account assignment.
Materials were setup before value update selected for HIBE material type for plant X and hence price determination was blank in Material master.
client was unable to create purchase requisition for these materials andfound value update was not selected for this material type for this plant.
Later when value update was selected for HIBE for Plant X, Goods receipt cannot be posted with reference to PO without account assignment. But able to do MIGO-GR for account assigned Purchase orders.
After value updating for this material type for this plant X, purchase requisitions and orders were created but unable to do goods receipt for PO without account assignment. Goods receipt can be posted
for Purchase orders with account assignment.
Now we are unable to do change price determination for material attachedto HIBE material type.
Please let me know how to resolve this issue.
Thanks and regards, Muthuvel

Hi Bharat,
Again Thanks for the immediate reply.
As I have mentioned earlier, when the stock update was done for this material type, the material was created and it didnt have any value in ML Act and Price determination.
Material ledger was activated to production.
when the client found they were not able to create PR with account assignment, then value update was selected for this material type.
Now there is a problem in Goods receipt for PO without account assignment.
Whereas there is no problem in GR for PO with account assignment.
I cannot do now CKMM also since the present price determination is a mandatory field and blank is no accepted.
Please help.
Regards, Muthuvel

Many Purchasing Organisation assigned to 1 Plant?

Hi all
This is going to be an easy question for all the expert here.
While I did some reference for Purchasing Organisation and Plant assignment, I realise that PLANT and P.Org has this M:N relationship.
I interpretate M:N as
(a) 1 PLANT to many P.Org or
(b) 1 P.Org to many PLANT
Questions
1. Does my Intepreation of M:N as above correct?
2. I do not think PLANT and P.Org has this M:N means Many to Many relationship as we cannot do so in SPRO. Please comment.
3. I have been seeing this 1 P.Org to many PLANT in the reference book but there is no actual business examples given to explain and also, I cannot find any such possible assignment in Enterprise Structure -> Assignment -> Materials Management -< Assign P.Org to Plant. Please advise the actual business example of this case and the SPRO path for this.
Thanks.

Hi Krishna
Thanks for clearing it up. Centralised P. Org is at the Company Level instead of the Company Code Level:
[http://help.sap.com/saphelp_470/helpdata/en/75/ee0a9555c811d189900000e8322d00/Image191.gif]
Here is the summary:
1. Centralised P. Org = 1 single P. Org responsible for the purchasing of several CoCd. It can be seen in Cross-CoCd-P.Org
scenario. No assignment between CoCd and P.Org is required but the value of CoCd will be prompted for input during the
procurement activity.
2. Cross Plant P.Org (terms used in SAP Certification) is also known as Company-specific P.Org.
Questions:
1. I found out in the SAP Certification Material for the scenario of Plant Specific P. Org assignment with 2 Plants under 2 P. Org respectively, we are asked to "Assign just one plant of the company code to this purchasing organization under Assignment u2192 Materials Management u2192 Assign purchasing organization to plant."
Can't we assign all the plants used (under 1 Company Code) to the individual pairing P.Org 1 by 1? Is this SAP standard config feature to ease consultant?

Transfer of Material between plants

Dear Gurus,
I have a scenario, i have two plants. My material is placed ion plant A in unrestricted project stock and i want to transfer this material to plant B( plant B is non-valuated). kindly tell me the movement type for this. and any settings to do this.
Regards
Johi

hi,
Solution:
1. Mat.(1434) should be maintained in both the plants. (1000&1100).
2. Should have enough stock in supplying plant(1000).
3. Make its supplying plant as a vendor in vendor master record in receiving plant(1100).
4. Make it receiving plant as a customer in customization.
    Create customer (xd01) & and define the shipping data for plants in both the plants.
    Path: spro u2013 img u2013 m.mgmt u2013 purchasing u2013 po u2013 set up STO u2013 define shipping data (1 by1 )
    In Receiving plant (1100)                         In Supplying plant (1000)
    Customer num. 123345 (for ex.)              Customer num. -
(don't fill)
    Sales org.yyy
    Dist. Channel
    Sales div. y
5. Assign doc. Type is "NL" for intra company STO. If STO is inter company, Assign doc. Type is "NLCC".
    Position doc type is "UB"
    Enter supplying plant(1000) & doc type (NL) & checking rule (ex:01)
6. Assign doc. Type is "UB" to u'r plants.(PO)
    Go for new entries
    Enter supplying plant(1000) & Receiving plant (1100) & doc type (UB).
7. Create a PO, choose the doc type is `UB' & item cat.'U', Enter supplying plant as a vendor in PO of the receiving plant(1100).
8. Provide this num (PO) to SD people, they will do the delivery by using transactional code is VL10B.
9. Sales people they will provide "out bound delivery num".
10. Do the GR. In GR the second tab 05 out bound delivery instead of PO mov.type 101.
11. See the stock over view in the receiving & supplying plants.
note :- if dont want the billing document then dont assign the delivery type(nl) to the doucumnet type(nb).
for project stock transfer use 415 q movement type at the time og goods issue.
Thanking you
