Auto determination of plant in Order-Critical Issue

Dear Experts,
In my project i am having an requirement, that in sales order the plant for the material has to be determined automatically, but the issue is
1. I cannot maintain Customer Material Info Record, as the Material, and customer data are very huge. i. e. more then 1000 material and and lacks of customer.
2. I cannot maintain plant in customer master, as material is from different plants, and different company codes,
3. I cannot maintain in Material Master as one material is assigned to different plants.
Business process..
I have 2 company codes, 125 plants, out of this 25 are selling plant.
This is a business critical situation for me, So please suggest any solution, in customizing/development. Suitable points will be awarded.
its urgent. thanking you in anticipation.

Hi
You can maintain plant details only in MMRs since you have to extend them for all the required sales org and DC combinations.
As we configure the Delivering Plants in IMG-Enterprise structure-Assignments, relevant for that sales org and dist channel, the number of plants that sell material in that sales area will come down drastically.
In the sales order depending on the sales area of that customer, the corresponding MMR will default a plant and availability check happens in that. If you wish to change the plant, you can change it at item level using F4 functionality, which will display only the list of Delivering plants.
Thanks,
Ravi

Material Determination - Critical Issue

Dear Friends,
We are using material determination automaticall
The reason for substitution here is non availability of stock of ordered material, because of which system seeks the stock of substitute material.
The way we have configured is: When material is entered in sales ordered, system check stocks of entered material, if available partially provides the available stock & seeks for substitute material, where even if partial stock for substitute material is available, one more line is created for this material.
This line created as a sub item (like in sales BOM). Futher even after seeking substitute the order quantity is not fulfilled one more line is created for the original ordered material with a backorder tick.
The order items look as under:
10 000000000005893343 50.000 EA Cover
11 000000000005893343 9.000 EA Cover
12 000000000005893653 3.000 EA CYLINDER HEAD
13 000000000005893343 38.000 EA Cover
10) is entered item.
11) entered item available stock
12) substitute item available stock
14) unavailable backorder stock for entered item.
At this point of time we can deliver the order items 11 & 12 with further processing.
But later when we upload the stock for entered item, availability check cannot be carried out in the order, since all the items become grey out, when we create first delivery.
This is a very critical issue in our case.
Please suggest soon as possible so that we crack the issue.
With Best Regards
Nate.
p.s. This Question is posted old ago by Dhananjay. But The solution no exist.

Permits issue in plant maintenance order

How to give the authorization to two different persons for permits issue in plant maintenance order?

If you see the purpose of permits it is very basic. If you need permission to do hot work you need permission from the fire department. There will be a designated person from the fire department to issue the permit. And that's it. No more advanced features.
If you want additional features I think your solution lies in WCM.

Automatic Plant determination logic in the order line item level

Dear all,
I would like to know if there is a possibility to determine plants automatically, avoiding the standard plant
determination logic at line item level, to determine plant based on stock availability.
The process will be to skip the standard plant dtermination logic and drive the process through
based on ATP on plant level.
Coming more specific to the requirement the system determines the plant where the stock is available and if the stocks are not
sufficient the system goes to the next plant automaticaly and confirms the stock quantities, which also could mean that the ATP would run on plant 1 and then plant 2 and plant 3......depending on the availability of stocks with partial confirmations or full.
If there are existing user exits etc. available also when the configuration not available would welcome it.
Thanks

Hello
On more option I can see is of maintaining preferred plant in Table OIDAP.
Generally, this table is used for IS-Oil plant determination.
There you can set up one preferred plant and up to four alternative plants for a combination of
- sales area
-country
-transport zone (of the ship-to party)
-material number or material group.
The plant selected depends on the availability of material in the plant/storage location.

Critical Issue: Availabilty check & alternative BOM selction issue

During the upgradation project I'm working facing the following critical issues:
1)While creating the sales order, system carries out the availability check in APO.In material master checking group Z5 is defined.
 Actually I want to know hw the system carries out the search in APO & what are the settings in R/3 or APO we have to make?
2)Suppose there are 3 alternative BOM's of a finished product.A requirement is while creating the sales order availabilty check should be carried out & system should check the availability of components on the required date.If the component is not avalable system should go & check the second alternative...third alternative until it gets the confirmation of component availability.
 How we can set this functionality & what are the prerequisites or customisation settings we needs to make?
 Would appreciate providing your inputs on this critical issue.
Thanks,
Nilesh

Before you understand how the APO Availability Checking concept works, I would suggest you understand about the regular R3 availability checking. As this is the core for the SD and APO GATP. Refer help.sap.com
Question 1:
Settings in R3: You have the ATP integration model in CFM1 transaction. You need to activate this just one time and never again. what this does is basically transfer all your availability checking customizing to APO.
All the settings for the Availability Checking group ( Z5, etc) are already maintained in R3 and they get transferred to APO by the integration model. You donot need to anything else.
Settings in APO:
If you are using Product Allocation Concept, You have to maintain the Check Instructions.... Otherwise there are no other settings in APO
Availability Check in APO :
( see the following blog for the requirements class( Name in R3) or check mode( Name in APO) determination http://solution-timezone-issue.blogspot.com/ )
The check mode and the business event( These are hardcode internally in R3 - For SD- A) are determined from the order and based on this in APO it follows the following order
(1) Reads the check instructions settings in APO
For example say the following have been determined from the SD Order : Check Mode 041 and Business Event A
Say we have maintained in APO that the first step is Availability Check and all the other two steps we havent maintained or left blank ( Product Allocation and Forecast)
Look for the customizing in APO
SPRO>APO>GATP>General Settings>Maintain Check Instructions ****
(2) Carries out availability Checking same as in R3 and no different
From the masterial master considers the availability checking group ( Ex: Z1) and the business event( SD transactions- A)
Very Important and the core of availability checking which is similar in R3 and APO***
Against these 2 combinations, the settings are checked which define what stock and in/outward movements are to be considered during the availability check
For customzing settings in APO
SPRO>APO>GATP>Maintain Check Control>
 For Customizing in R3
SPRO>Sales and Distribution>Basic Functions>Availability Check and transfer of requirements>Availability check with ATP logic or planning>Carry out control for availability check
This is the answer to your first question.
Your second question would need some time and I will try to answer it as well.
Hope this helps you..

Account Determination Procedure in Sales Order

Hi All,
I have a problem regarding account determination procedure in sales order.
When I create a new sales document, and go to menu Environment --> Analysis --> Account Determination, the information about the procedure is blank.
For your information, I already assign this sales document type to a billing type.
This billing type also already has an account determination procedure, which is KOFI00.
The G/L Account in VKOA also already been set up for the combination of Condition Type - Chart of Acct - Sales Org - Account Assignment Category in Customer and Material - Account Key.
But every time I create a new sales order, I cannot get the account determination procedure.
Anyone can please help me to solve this problem?
Thank you in advance

Hi Surya,
Have you assigned Billing type For Ex: F2 or F1 to respective Sales Order Type in Sales Document Type controls VOV8.
Assign these F2 against Delivery Related billing and F1 is for Order Related billing.
Assign KOFI0000 to respective Billing Types F2 and F1.
And check, hope issue may resolve.
Revert if u have any query.

I want to determine the CST or VAT both in a single sales order for different Items based on plant regions and customer region.
for more details let me give you an example.
I have,
 2 plants - A(Maharashtra), B(Delhi)
 Customer - X (Delhi), Y (UP)
 Material - M
now I create an order for customers X and Y with the same material M
Scenario 1
SP - X (Delhi)
 -Matl <-----> Plant <--
> Taxes
 -M <-----> A (MH) <-----> CST
Scenario 2
SP - X (Delhi)
 -Matl <-----> Plant <--
> Taxes
 -M <-----> B (DL) <-----> VAT
Scenario 3
SP - Y (UP)
 -Matl <-----> Plant <--
> Taxes
 -M <-----> A (MH) <-----> CST
Scenario 4
SP - Y (UP)
 -Matl <-----> Plant <--
> Taxes
 -M <-----> B (DL) <-----> CST
Are the above scenarios possible automatically?
what kind of settings required in the pricing procedure and how the Condition records should be maintained?
If I am giving any wrong example technically.
Just suggest me the settings in pricing procedure and condition record maintenance
to determine CST or VAT for the same material depending on the different combinations of Customer Region (State) and Plant Region(State)
Thanks alot in advance for the time spent and helping me out by solutions.

Hi
It can be determined automatically in sales order
but for this you have to maintain in Material master (CST & VAT maintain the Tax classification)
and also for the Customer master cst & vat tax classification
create condition table for both the condition types with fields
Country/PlntRegion/Region/TaxCl2Cust/TaxCl.2Mat
maintain the condition records as per the matrix combination

Pur Req via Plant maintenance order

Hi,
When Non stock item is assigned to a Plant Maintenance order, A purchase requisition is created automatically for that item.
During the creation of purchase requision it is required to enter goods recipient and unloading point( few fields are made mandatory)
Issue: At this stage we are giving planne delivery time and GR processing time.
But when we check the Purchase req for that item, Only GR processing time is considered not Planned delivery time.
Please provide your suggestion, why planned delivery time is not considered for scheduling of purchase req.
Thanks and regards,
Nataraj

Hi!,
I think you should check the operation control key you are using. Whether that key allows 1. Externally processed opearation 2. allows the scheduling of externally processed operation. If both are true then it will take the standard values defined for that opearation for scheduling. if 2nd is not true then it will schedule as per planned delivery time.
I think this will solve your problem.

Revenue Account Determination based on Sales Order Document Type & Service Order Type

Hi Expert,
I have Customer Service Module with Resource Related Billing for services attached with SD.
When DP90 runs sales document debit memo request is created & then debt memo is created.
I need to configure Revenue Account Determination based on Sales Order Type and also based on Service Order Type.
I did not see any field catalogue in revenue account determination for order type, For communication structure KOMKCV Header and KOMPCV Item level there is no field for sales order type nor service order type.
Is it possible to bring in both order types? Can ABAP person do it?
How to bring these fields?
Is it possible & recommendd to have service order type filed AURAT for service order into this sturcture?
Is this configuration is OK acceptable by SAP? If so is there any chnace for issues errors & wrong determination from FI CO view?
Your valued input is highly appreciated.
Thanks
Prakash Parikh

Hi Prakash,
Yes, you can certainly add new table fields into the field catalog KOMKCV and KOMPCV and use it during account determination. You will also have to add these new fields in the user exit RV60AFZZ for it to work. I believe you will need ABAPer's help to make this work. The abaper will have to crate a ZZFIELD (ZZAUART for example) and put it in the structure and use the same in the user exit to pass the values.
In your case, what I am not sure is, are you looking to modify the existing standard tables or creating new ones. My suggestion is to create the new condition tables with these new fields (like document type) after adding it to the field catalog. Only modify the access sequence (KOFI) in such a way that your new tables are access first before it goes into standard tables (or you can adjust it according to your scenario.
We have done it in our company and it is working fine. Basically what we have done is to create new tables instead of modifying the standard ones. We have adjusted the access sequence in such a way that some of our custom tables are accessed first before the standard SAP tables (C001 to C005).
I found a similar requirement on SCN. This might help.

Automatic release of plant maintenance order at Plant level

Dear All
I would like to release plant maintenance order automatically and would like to enable only for a specific plant.
Could you please suggest different options for this
Thanks in advance
Regards
Yogesh +48 500287949

Hi ,
There is no tcode for automatic release of Maintenance order . You have the below options :
1. Activate the user exit IWO10009 PM Order: Customer Check for 'Save' Event which checks for specific plant and status of order is not released then it would release automatically ..
2. Create a programme which runs as a batch job and this programme checks for PM Order and filters specific to plant and then filters the orders which are not released and then auto releases....The proramme should be set up as a batch job which runs at every 30min or etc..
this would give you some idea ..

Critical Issues During SAP Implementation or After Golive

Can anybody tell me one of the most critical/ challenging issues During SAP Implementation or After Golive
in these modules:-
MM implementation
PP implementation
SD implementation
FI/CO implementation
PS implementation
QM implementation
HR implementation
BI implementation
XI implementation
Thanks and regards
RS

hi,
I will list out few of critical issues in
Implementation :
1 . Ensure 100% mapping of business process for all modules with SAP(avoid customization in support phase)
2. Unit & Integeration testing should be through with all validations
3. Master datas(Vendor,Customer) care must be taken will uploading datas thru LSMW,
If there are common vendors for all plants,Create a vendor for a plant extend it to other plants
4. Check tax procedures are customized according to requirements.
5. Complete all print document customizations before go live
6. Complete end user training(2 or more cycles) should be top priority before go live(This will avoid
cancellation/reversal of documents after post go live)
7. Ready with standard MIS reports & customized reports for business decision making
8. Excise opening balance updation in tables for RG1 register in tables(Note 951955) on go live
9. Check all tables datas are updating correctly
10. Declare go live to SAP Support
11. Check All user authorization should be correct according to their roles.
12. Centeralize all master datas creation(avoid duplication)
13. Create transaction variants to avoid entires in unnecessary fields & make certain fields mandatory.
14. Ensure document numbering is completed for all documents
15. Validate accounting entries are hit properly according to requirement in quality client with FI CTM(Core team member).
After Go live :
1. Missing authorization for users will play key part here,For ex : PGI while doing delivery,Excise capture & post in MIGO/J1IEX.
2. Do internal audit every month,identify transactions if there will possibility for misuse or wrong entries,requires validation,identify users weak in certain areas.
3. Identify there is enhancements to be done in transaction process(By step-2)
4. Prepare a list of month & year end activities to be performed for all modules give to users
5. Prepare a list of frequently used transaction codes module wise give it to users
6. If there is subcontracting,ensure challan creation,GR,reconcillation should be done regulary(monthly)
7. Train the users,take reports in respective modules.
8. Additonal customization might be done in print documents.
9. Instruct users/CTM's to adapt SAP Standard practise
10. Update excise tax rates after every indian budget
Hope it helps.

HOW SHIPPINS POINT IS BEEN DETERMINED IN STOCK TRANSFER ORDER IN A COMPANY

HOW SHIPPINS POINT IS BEEN DETERMINED IN STOCK TRANSFER ORDER IN A COMPANY

Shipping Point determination will be based on 2 configurations
(1) based on the combination of Shipping Condition (Customer Master), Loading Group (Material Master) and Plant.
(2) based on the combination of Shipping Condition (Customer Master), Loading Group (Material Master), Plant and Storage Location.
However you need to check the configuration of delivery type whether the rule assign is (a) Plant-specific Shipping Point determination or (b) Storage Location-specific Shipping Point determination at the following path: SPRO=>IMG=>Logistic Execution=>Shipping=>Basic Shipping Functions=>Shipping Point and Goods Receiving Point Determination=>Set Up Storage-Location-Dependent Shipping Point Determination=>Define Rule for Determination of Shipping Point.
Hope this will help.
