Bulk Material behaviour in alternate plants

Hi,
how bulk material concept behaves with planning and procurement in different plants with consumption based (VB) in MTO/MTS scenario.what are the conditions to be maintained with Sp procurement key with drawal from alternate plant and stock transfer from alternate plant for bulk materials.
regards
kishore

Hi Kishor,
Bulk material is always consumption based because it is not planned during MRP and not related to costing also. Bulk materials are those which are low cost.
If you are having more than one plants and components required at one plant for finish product is either produced as a finish product in other plant or it is available as a unrestricted stock then you can use special propcurement key for that component.
For production at alternate plant set special procurement key. In BOM assign that component and design key in customisation that u enter plant where it is being produced. Again create a BOM for finish product.
First take MRP run where it is used as a component so that it will create dependent requirement for another plant.Then take MRP run where it is as finish product so that planned order will be produced.
Same as for stock transfer use another key. You have to decide first then assign key.
I think it will help you. Reward pts.
If any problem ask.
Regard,
Suhas

Material check in alternate plant

Hi friend,
In MTO scenarion I have same (component) material in two different plant within the same client. During MRP run dependent requirement should be checked in the alternate plant's and if material is available reservation should be generated.
Or is it possible to convert planned order generated in plant 1100 be transfered to plant 1200 and also converted to production order.
Pls suggest the solution.

Yes you can do by using the special procuement key in material master for STO from other plant.

How to run MRP for Bulk Material without using LTP

Hi, how can I run MRP for BULK material without using LTP.
Thanks in advance
BK

Hi,
Use trasnsaction code OPPQ and goto BOM Explosion and selection depends on
Field selected
No dependent requirements are created for informational purposes for bulk material items in the plant selected. This can improve system performance.
Field not selected
Dependent requirements are created for bulk material items in the plant selected. These dependent requirements are displayed in the planned order for informational purposes only. They are not considered in the net requirements calculation; that is, they are not included in material requirements planning (MRP) and are not displayed in the stock/requirements list

Report for planned or prodcution order for production in Alternate plants

Hai gurus,
I have two plants - X and Y
Plant x have finished goods A and B to be produced and procured from plant - Y
plant Y have finished goods C and D to be produced and procured from plant - X
The production in alternate plant concept is used in plant X for Product A and B
The production in alternate plant concept is used in Plant Y for Product C and D.
Now my requirement is how to get the report for the Purchase order raised by the
plant X for the Finished product A and B , also how to know the planned order
and production order with reference to purchase order for Finished product A and B
under plant - Y
and VIce versa for the Finished product C and B in plant X and Y
Waiting for the positive reply.

Sekar chand

There are a few reports that you can use to display STO requisitions and orders, by supplying plant, material, or MD04 like was mentioned.
The only thing that you don't have in a report is the link to the production order. In SAP in a MTS situation there's no fixed link (pegging) between the requirement (STO) and the supply (prod Ord).
You can view the pegging dynamically, for example in MD04.

Is 543 movement possible for bulk material in subcontracting process.

Dear All,
I created a sub contracting PO, with the bulk material indicator being ticked in MRP 2 view for the parent material.
Now at the time of Making GRN, i can not see the 543 movement for parent item (which is sent to vendor for processing via 541 movement).
Please help. Is this a standard behaviour of the system. ??
Thanking you in anticipation.

Good receipt for Production in alternate plant

Hi,
I have scenario where i have using production in alternate plant. when i do GR in production plant the stock is getting updated in planning plant.
But physical material movement from production plant to planning plant will take 2days.
Is there anyway i can do GR in production plant and then do plant to plant transfer, so that i can ensure there is no mismatch between to physical stock and system stock.
or
is there any other process to overcome this problem.
kindly give a solution..
Thanks and Regards,
Sen

Hi,
SAP Help
Stock Transfer from Plant to Plant
Within the stock transfer procedure, goods are produced and delivered within a company. The plant that is to receive the goods (receiving plant) orders the goods internally from another plant that is in a position to deliver the goods (issuing plant). The dependent requirements for the components to be transferred are determined in the receiving plant.
You use the stock transfer procedure, if two plants are located far away from each other, as the transport of materials to be transferred is taken into account in MRP with this type of procedure
So , pls try with 40 - Stock Transfer from Alt plant . Then , you can use combination of either 303 & 305 or 351 & 101 .With this procedure , there will be no mismatch bw the physical stock and system stock in the receiving plant.

Setting for no dependent reqmt should generate for bulk material

Hello guys,
I know that for bulk materials system doesn't create any dependent reqmt. In other words system doesn't consider these materials in planning run.But for information purpose you can see the planned order no for bulk material in production order of above material.
My question is where we maintain the settings for bulk material that system shouldn't create dependent requirements for them?

Hi,
As u know u can define Bulk material at MRP view of Material Master.
Please check with "Excl Bulk material" check box under the BOM Explosion tab at OPPQ for your Plant.

PR: Procurement w/o material from vendor with plant assignment not defined

Hi,
Getting the error message: 06806 - Procurement w/o material from vendor with plant assignment not defined
while creating the PR with account assingment (P- project) & without material no. instead entering the short text in the PR.
this issue (Error message) is getting to only one user.
question-1: Is it possible to set the Error messages to the user specific. Because other users are able to create the PR with the above inputs, but the one user is not able to create instead getting the above E- Msg.
question-2: Is it possible to set the messages to Plant specific instead quesiton -1 or both
Or else, please let me know how to deactivate the above E-msg to the specific user.
Please do the needful asap.
Regards,
Sapsrin

Hi,
As you noticed, note 856962 has changed the system behaviour
when you are working with procurement w/o material from vendor with
plant assignment.
Items without a material master record can only be ordered from vendors
without a plant assignment.
This note will stop your users from creating service purchase orders
for a vendor who has a Plant assigned in the vendor master, issuing
the error message 06 806.
you can check the below code:-
LMEPOF23
IF ekpo-ematn IS INITIAL AND
      ( aktyp EQ hin OR ekko-reswk NE oekko-reswk OR      "856962
     ( aktyp EQ hin OR NOT ekko-reswk IS INITIAL OR        "856962
        ekko-bsakz NE oekko-bsakz OR
        gf_extended_check NE space ).
    PERFORM enaco_2(sapfmmex) USING '06' '806'.

Bulk material indicator and shipping

We have a part which is mark as bulk material in one company code and plant and does not have this indicarot marked in another company code and plant.
For the plant where bulk indicator is checked, there is no stock information, as it would be.
When a PO is created for the plant and company code where the indicator is NOT checked for the plant and company code for which the indicator IS checked (PO is processed by the supplying plant as stock tranfer order ) when shipping, system wants stock information (storage location, supply area )to be specified. Since in the supplying plant material is bulk material there is no stock information.
In order to process this stock has to be created and then delivery has to be processed. This should not happen, please can anyone let me know the reason for this.
Thanks
Mira

Try to hide it my using transaction variant tcode SHD0
If it dosent work then use
User exit
IWO10009 Maintenance order: Customer check for "Saving"
PPCO0023 (check changes to order components)
BADI
IWO1_ORDER_BADI
This will solve your problem

Bulk Material:- SAP PM

Hi ,
What is the use and importance of Bulk Material TICK in SAP PM Component tab.
Query :-Can we Use this indicator to track material consumed in maintenance as material is already available in large qty ( OIl , Grease).
Kindly Guide

Hi,
What exactly you are looking for??
Basically some material are issued in large qty and used in different equipment , area time to time
For ex
during breakdown material is consumed ( material issued earlier on maintenance order )
notification is created after breakdown completed , maintenance order cannot be created
Why you don't want to have any cost impact of oil, grease, etc., in PM Order?? Then how you will book those costs in appropriate objects??
Pain Area:- it is difficult to to to make maintenance order for small qty , so they order in large qty and consume as per requirement that is why don,t want to have cost impact for earlier consumed material (as per system )
Kindly throw some light from Plant maintenance point view for above
thanks for guidance
For 1st Question, if maintenance order can't be created, then you have no option to enter even components for that maintenance order. So, its not required to create Z movement type which is not having cost impact as there is no goods movement at all.
For 2nd Question, you can issue the material to that cost center directly through reservation in bulk through MIGO or MB1A transactions with 201 movement type as you can't consume the order wise oil or grease. Again in this case, as quantity has been consumed in that cost center, you can just mention the material with some quantity (if possible) with Never as PR / Reservation so that no reservations will be created. So, you no need to issue again the same material which has been issued already. Again creation of Z movement type doesn't have any logic here.

Material planning from another plant

Hi,
Can anyone answer me
I am planning for X in plant P1
There is a material in Plant P2 and the same material added in BOM for X but the material is not maintained in plant P1
How this can be managed
shrish

Hi,
For that u have to create same material in both plants.
If it is in BOM of X, you can use special peocurement key for component, i.e.production in alternate plant,purchasing from alternate plant, etc.
So dependent requirement will be created in another plant for that material.

Different Material Types in different Plants

Hi,
I have 2 Plant under a Company Code. A material being produced in plant A has to be sent to Plant B for further processing. I would like to maintain single material master for both the plants, but different Material Types. Material has to be treated as Finished Goods in Plant A and Raw Material at Plant B. Could any one please let me know how I can MAP it in SAP.
Regards,
Nagaraja Achar.

Hi,
For the Same material Code you can not maintain two material types in two plants..
But you can make a Z* mat type with all the relevant views of FG & ROH..
For Plant 1 it will have all the views
and for Plant 2 extend only the ROH relevant views...
Thx

Check the material available in MARC table in SE11 transaction against your plant.If it is not available please maintain through MM01 transaction.

Use of Sales BOM to force ATP against Bulk Material?

Background:
Our business was recently acquired, and we have migrated to the parent company's R/3 system. In our previous MRP system (R/2), we planned, produced, and shipped a single bulk Material ID in Trucks, Rail Cars, Flexi-Bags, and Iso-Tainers. In the new system, specific Material IDs are now required for each of these modes. However, we do not store the inventory in these modes, nor do we wish to plan at this detailed level.
Considered So Far:
Initial suggestion was to use A.T.O. to look through a BOM and automatically create production orders for each customer order. However, this seems to add additional complexity that we do not really need, and makes changing order dates more challenging (have to move both the order and the accompanying Prod. Order).
Desired Outcome:
Order is entered and priced based upon the mode-specific Material ID, but inventory is relieved from the Bulk material. In our previous R/2 system, there was a field on the material master called "Std.Prod." which stood for Standard Product Link. We used it for synonymous products where we produced and inventoried under one name, but sold under several different names. The customer materials were set up as type SALE and referenced the inventoried material, set as type FINI, in this Std. Prod. field. Thus, at the header level, the user saw the SALE material, but for planning and at the batch level, the system showed the FINI.
Options?
I am told that, due to the amount of custom coding and user exits surrounding outputs and interfaces to EDI and other external systems, the use of Material Determination would require too much testing and potentially too much development work. But, is it the best / correct solution to the problem? Because right now, I don't have the ability to perform ATP against the inventoried Material, so nothing confirms. Would the use of a 1 to 1 Sales BOM offer anything different?
Many Thanks in Advance,
J.P.

Hello JP
Material Determination (MD) works with Consignment orders, only you need to assign a MD procedure to the requisite sales document type in config ( TO code OV14). Product substitution, which is a specialized form of MD, makes use of special item cats like TAX and TAPS or TAPA and TAN for main and substitute items respectively, but you can always make copies of them and use them with consignment orders also in conjunction with item category usages like PSHP. PSEL, PSA1 and PSA2. There could be resultant issues, but unless you test you won't know them all.
Your second question about 'Sale would go against the finished good (Truck / Rail material) while the production costs go against the Bulk', brought a new realization in me. You are ordering, pricing and delivering Truck or Rail materials, but those requirements have to be converted to Production orders for bulk material, so from a Sales and Distribution (SD) point of view you don't need anything extra, therefore work with you Production Planning (PP) consultant to convert the requirements at PP end?? May be without resorting to MD or BOMs in Sales, you can work with your PP consultant and with standard config or custom development, you may realize your desired outcome.
Also as long as cost is maintained in the sales Material (Truck for example) with due regard to the additional costs in converting Bulk to truck, you should be fine. Follow the example below:
Standard cost of 1 ton , say X, is stored in Bulk Material master.
Now if there is no additional cost and you just load the bulk material into a truck and if a Truck is 10 ton, then Truck material would have 10X in its material master for cost.
But if there is some other material and/or labor involved in converting bulk to Truck and their cost is y, then you will have (10x+y) in your truck material. Also it is worthwhile to capture the additional cost in the Production/Assembly order via components and operations.
Your problem is not insurmountable, but you need to assemble a team of SD. PP, MM and CO experts to design an integrated solution for you.
