Automatic selection of products in a plant but differant storage locations
Hi Gurus
Here is a requierment from our client that is they maintain differant storage locations based on differant prices however they want automatic selection of products during sales order entry, based on manufacturing date like FIFO comparing differant storage locations with in a plant. if you have come across these scenario and other solutions relate to this
please share your experiance
with regards
Baalakrushnan.da
hello, friend.
yes, we have come across this. first, your material should be batch managed specifying FIFO. then, inventory/availability search should be plant level instead of storage location level.
i will try to get back to you with the specifics. but in the meantime, you could probably get your MM consultant to help you with this.
regards.

Reg : client level data,plant level data,storage location level data
hi
when we enter the data mm01 we select views.these views are based on cleint level,plant level,storage location level .i want the difference between all the three levels.how do we differentiate.As per our business process there are one company and in which many plants and storage location are available. In which many materials are available in different plant in different storage location.
As per SAP Standard structure: -
Company >> Company code1 & Company code2... >> Plant 1 & Plant 2 & Plant 3 .... >> Storage location 1 & 2 & 3........
And in all plant and storage location have different data.
Suppose in one plant we do quality testing for material and it may be possible in other plant we not perform quality testing for material. So in this case for same material quality data is different for different plants.
Client Level: - Means data is same for all plant level like Basic data
Plant Level: - Means data is based on plant level like Purchasing, Plant data, Quality data, Accounting view.
Storage location level: - Means data is based on storage location level, for different storage location data will be different like Storage location stock data ..
Due to this you can maintain different data on plant level & storage location level.

Sales order same plant different storage location
Hi
We are doing a sale order for a material that is storage in two storage location.
Storage location A:
2 units
Storage location B:
3 units
We did a sale order for 5 material. Stock availability asigned 5 unit in one position of the purchase order. Then the system create just one delivery for 2 units.
Which procedure or customizing we have to do to get two deliveries, one for each storage location.
Thanks in advance for the help
Regards
Enzothanks SAJU SOM
We need to create two deliveries from one sales order, that have quantities for differents storage locations.
Example:
Sales order A: 5 units
We have, 2 in storage location C and 3 in storage location D under same plant. The storages locations are in differents places, so we need two deliveries, one from C and the other one from D.
I suppose that this situation is normal and occurs in many companies.
So, we have to create a sales order with 2 positions, or the system split the deliveries during deliveries creation?
I think the system should split the positions automatically in the sales order creation.
Thanks for your help

One SO but I would like Post Goods Issue from different Storage Locations?
Dear All,
Pls help me solve this issue below:
I have one SO, Item xzy, Qty = 300 but I would like to Post Goods Issue from different Storage Locations (Qty = 100 for each locations)
E.g I have 3 storage locations: A, B, C and need to assign Post Goods Issue authorizations to 3 users U1, U2, U3:
- U1 can Post Goods Issue from storage location A only (but cannot from B, C)
- U2 can Post Goods Issue from storage location B only (but cannot from A, C)
- U3 can Post Goods Issue from storage location C only (but cannot from A, B)
How can I assign the Authorization for users?
How can I create Outbound Delivery:
a. 1 SO --> 1 outbound delivery --> Post GI 3 times
b. 1 SO --> 3 outbound delivery --> Post GI
Thank you very much for your support
Cao Huy.Hi Senthils,
Pls see my comment below:
For Authorization check for storage Location
1. GO to the following Menu path
Spro>Material Management> Inventory manangement and Physical Inventory>Authorization Management>Authorization check for Storage Location.
Here you have activate authorization tick for storage location and plant combination.
--> Done
2. Set authorization for Authorization object MM_MSEG_LGO thro Basis for the combination of movement type and storage location
for each user.
--> Done
There are 3 storage locations(A,B,C) in one outbound delivery, and when user 01 tries to Post GI this outbound, it means that the system will Post GI for all line items in this outbound, but user 01 has not authorization for location B, C.
How can user 01 Post GI from only location A in this outbound???
And then user 02 will Post GI from only location B in this outbound,
user 03 will Post GI from only location C in this outbound.
Thanks

Regarding how enable plant stock and storage location view
hi all:
Could you please tell me how enable plant stock and storage location view for MM01?
couldn't be better if there are detailed steps .
Thank you very much!Hi,
The views depend to material type. So you need update in the material type attributes.
SPRO - Logistic General - Material Master - Basic Settings - Material Types - Define Attributes of Material Types
Double click on the material type and update the views in 'User Departments'.
Thanks. -
Different storage location automatically pick for same material code
Hi,
As per my requirement,
We have two storage locations i.e Return Location and Finished Location and single plant and single shipping point.
At the time of Normal delivery system should be automatic picked Finished Location and return delivery system have to pick Return Location only.
I tried to do Storage location determination but system is not picking correct location. Kindly guide me.
Thank You!

MCHB,MARD - Stock available at plant level and storage location level
Hi ,
How to determine how much stock available at Storage location level and Plant level. (Lot is not maintained).
In MCHB-Stock at lot level is shown.
In MARD-Stock at Storage Location level is shown lncluding
the stock maintaned at the lot level.
If i want to know the stock which is not maintained in Lot, i.e, Stocks directly maintained at Storage location / Plant.
Do I need to subtract the MCHB Value from MARD Value ?
Is there any other way available to find the stocks which is not maintained at lot level.
Regards
PrasathHi prashant,
What do u mean by stock maintained at SL level without batch level. Do u mean that some materials are subjected to batch management and some or not?
If that is the case, for all batch managed materials, u can see the stock at batch level and also same is summed up at SL level. But still what ever u are getting from MARD table isstock at SL level only.
If u have activated batch management for any material, it will always be shown at lot level also.
hope this clarfifies query

Opening Stock Comapny - Plant - Material - Batch - Storage location Wise
Dear Friends,
I want to do the following report. I will explain the details to you. Pleaes suggest on how to go about it.
1. Since you know that SAP stores stock in a summary form (Plant / Material wise). Our management wants the report on the following hierarchy. (Company - Plant - Material - Batch - Storage). Our management has suggested the following:
a. Create a ZTABLE with the above columns including Quantity (which will contain closing stock quantity).
b. In this calculate and store Closing stock for each month.
c. an insert / update program has to be created for uploading data in the ZTABLE (selection will contain date).
for ex:
When running the program for 31st March 2008. system will take the closing stock stored in the ZTABLE for previous months + March Receipt - March issues. the result will be the closing stock for March 2008.
d. Then a report will be prepared using the ZTABLE and other calculated fields.
Can anyone give me the guideline as to how to go about it. Tables to be used and logic to be followed? Or if any other way the result can be achieved then nothing like it.
The Managements final goal is to have any given date closing stock in the above hierarchy (minimizing the Performance issue... that is why the suggestion of ZTABLE)...
Awaiting for your expert opinions.....

Stock valuation different for different storage location in same plant
Hi SAP Gurus,
Please provide me a detailed idea and solution for this.
My client has simulated several transactions in MM.
Say it has two storage location 1110 and 1120 under plant 1100
Now in 1120 there are stock movements pertaing to a project (includes stock transafers from 1110 and issues made to project)
Finally, the MB52 report is showing valuation of stock (unrestricted) at different rates for 1110 and 1120.
My client is raising issue, saying the value should be same for stock under a single plant as valuation is done at plant level.
Also, both the stock is under unrestricted category, so valuation should be same.
What could be the issue?
Any solution?
The auditors will raise issue over this.
Please help ASAP.
Regards,
SumitHi Sumit,
In valuation using the moving average price (price control u201CVu201D), the system valuates goods receipts with the purchase order price and goods issues with the current moving average price.
So, for Plant 1110 the rate could be the PO price used for procuring the material whereas for Plant 1120, it is the moving average price and hence the difference in rates.
However the auditors would look after the Material Valuation at the Valuation Area level which is the Plant.
Thanks,

The business does not want to use MRP areas to segregate materials between service part and production. What they want to do is separate service parts on deliveries at our shipping storage types (915/916) from MRP view. This requirement is primarily for our international shipping area. We may pick parts for an international shipment and the parts will sit on the delivery - not goods issued because we don't want to invoice - for up to 3 months. During that time, MRP sees the inventory so replenishment is not done in a timely fashion or parts may get stolen from the shipment for a production requirement because the inventory is seen.
Could one solution be to create a non-MRP relevant storage location (say 1200) and place the shipping storage types in this storage location? Then when the transfer order creates, the system would show the source to be from the MRP relevant SLoc (1100), stype (130), bin (A-01-A), - these are examples - with the destination to be to non-MRP relevant SLoc 1200, stype 915, bin (dynamic using the delivery number) 0080745298? Has anyone had this type of request or know of a way to satisfy the business requirements without different MRP areas? They also do not want to have two transfer orders - one with a 601 movement and one with a 311 movement.
Any known solutions or outside-the-box thinking would greatly appreciated.
MarlaI don't have the solution, just some critical questions and hints
Even a non-MRP relevant storage location can be warehouse managed.
The stock is shown in any stock list as long it is not goods issued, no matter if it is stored in a
non-MRP relevant storage location.
Stock that is picked for a delivery is not available for others, it is reserved. A delivery is a MRP element and hence should be taken into consideration in the planning run.
A non-MRP relevant storage location will only solve your planning issues if you move the material there if it is not yet picked and allocated to a delivery.
Do your thieves really use SAP to check if the stock is there, or do they just see the stock in the warehouse? As said, the non-MRP relevant storage location will not solve this issue since the stock is still visible. -
Automatic selection production version in MFBF
Hello !
I have a material setted with Selection method = 2(Selection by production version) in Material Master, so, I have two production version: V001 & V002, the last one is locked for any usage.
I need automatic selection of production version in MFBF , but when I'm doing the confirmation the system show the screen of production version selection with two versions .
Do you know what is missing for automatic selection works ?
Thanks a lot.
VeroHi Vernoica ,
Good Day , PV will be selected based on the lot size and the creation dates.
It will copy the PV (BOM & Routing ) based on Lot size or Explosion date you defind in MRP-4 view i.e. BOM selection ,BY -explosion date,1-lot size,2- by PV and 3 by PV only.
If you would like to get rid the selection of PV,
why dont you try created a production version than only go to material master change screen MM02 in MRP4 view and Select 2 at selection method field.
In the IMG (OPLD) for Order Type Dependent Parameters, the production version selection is already set to manual selection. But the production version is always defaulted as version 1 which is the first one in the material master and is not asking to select the version at the time of converting the planned order to a production order!
You can also check settings in configue trans OPL8 to have routing selection set to automatic selection if you want to avoid placing routing versions in each individual material master. Just another way to look at it
Hope it will resolve your problem. -
Create Plant or just separate Storage Location
I am trying to determine where the magical line is to decide whether to establish a separate address location as a different plant or location. My example is not very complex. It is a satellite production location that produces products for use as raw materials for another production facility that assembles and sells the final product. The satellite location will have a separate cost center and will use activity rates and costing sheets for overhead recovery. My inclination is to set the satellite facility as a plant but supply Chain team sees this as overkill and would rather make it simply a storage locations.
Can someone provide a white paper or list of positives and negatives to storage location versus plant? I know some things might involve the following:
1-If valuation of products are different or may at some point involve different values by location, a plant is needed.
2-If products are sold directly from location, plant would make more sense.
3-If inventroy is transferred between locations with differing addresses, various tax and bank reporting could necessitate the use of separate plants.
4-When manufacturing activities exist, a plant is logical.
5-If all purchasing is performed at a central location, a separate plant may not be required for this purpose.
My existing dilemma relates to the fact that we use costing sheets by plant. Without a separate plant, using different storage locations forces me to use the Material Origin Group to dileneate the extra location if I don't want to use the plant based overhead rates. This seems like a violation of best practice and proper use of SAP.Hi
If you define satellite production location as Storage location you can not do profitable analysis at this unit. My suggestion is activate MRP area at storage location level. So that satellite production unit is treated as separate entity under the same Plant. This will just help you to do the Supply chain activities (purchasing, Sale, Prod and STO) at MRP area level. But Profitability analysis still can be done at Plant level only.
This will solve your point numbers 2, 3, and 4.For material valuation (Point number -1) I think you have to go for split valuation.

Automactic Selection of production Version
Hi.
I have created a material "A"
I maintained in material master's MRP4 view selection method "2"
I have created two production version with same validity period & same lot size "0001" & "0002"
I maintained in order type dependent parameter's masterdata tab in production version column "Automatic production version selection"
Now when i am going to create a process order system is selection production version "0001".
But I want automatic selection of production version "0002".
What setting shall I do?
Regards
VivekDear Vivek,
I maintained in order type dependent parameter's masterdata tab in production version column "Automatic production version selection"
In order type dependent parameters maintain as manual selection
Then system will raise an pop-up to select production version while creating prodiuction order
The above setting is only useful while creating manual production order
If you are converting plan order to production order then above setting will not play any role
System will default take 1st PV
All you can do is you can change manually in plan order
Or if you want system to take automatically in MRP then you need to lock 1st PV
Also refer my reply from this thread

Production in other plant, Sloc determination for prod. order
Experts,
we are using production in other plant. Demand in plant A, Router & BOM in plant B. Mfg. should be done in plant B. The components in plant B are Prod.stor.location 0003 (MRP 2 View).
If I create a production order the system always uses Stor.Loc 0001 in component overview and for with draw material.
My expectation was that system uses Sloc out of MM of plant B. What might be the reason for that behaviour ?
Thanks in Advance
Jörg
Even if I put Stor.loc 0003 in BOM line Item system goes with 0001 in prod.order.JORG,
I am assuming you have raw materials in plant B. In the BOM of material in plant B, maintain storage location as 0003 for all line items and do read PP master data for the production order on current date so that correct storage location is picked up.
Also check if production versions are maintained and what is the issue storage lcoation maintained in production version?
check and revert,

Material staging in production with IM and WM storage locations
Hello,
I have the following situation at hand in a Client.
They use Process Orders and want to do material staging of the components.
The Production Supply área is an IM managed storage location but the storage location of the components is WM managed.
The staging should take place as pick parts (control cycle) transfering the components from the WM storage location to the IM production Storage location.
Im not sure we need to use Deliveries instead of Transfer Requirements.
Is this escenario posible and if so, how to configure it.
Thanks for any reply.
AartAart,
For Transfer requirement creation for production order components WM staging please follow below steps.
1.Activate PP interface in Warehouse number control for PP interface in Logistic execution.
2.You need to assign WM replenishment movement type 319 against the production supply storage type.
3.In production scheduling profile all necessary WM TR/TO configuration to be done based on your requirement.
4.Create PSA in PK05.
5.Create Control cycle in LPK1.
6.Assign the PSA to production work centers.
With above settings once production order is released TR gets created which could be converted to TO manually or automatically for further process.
