Cannot release inventory allocated as Sales Order Stock

Hi All, I'm very new to SAP and am somewhat unfamiliar with the SD process. We created a Sales Order (from a customer purchase order), everything was okay until we tried to do an ATF; a change was made to the strategy group (from 20 - MTO to 40 - MTO with final assembly). That change allowed us to create a new sales order and successful do the ATF and ship the order. Now, however, we find that there is one item in inventory that has been allocated to that old sales order as "Sales Order Stock", we can see this in MMBE. We've tried to delete the sales order, but it cannot be deleted. When we try to delete it, we're getting a message "For reasons of cost management item 000010 cannot be deleted, Message No. V1128"; we have no idea what this means or what caused the initial error with the sales order. Is there a way to relese this inventory and return it to regular stock and delete that old sales order? Hope I gave enough information, thanks for your help.

Hi Xamiaca,
You key in the sales order number in VA02 and ,you can see the production order number in the schedule line tab(Production- at the bottom). Take down that number and go to "CO02" and see the status of production order and the settlement status. If the settlement has happened, take a FI/CO consultants help to cancel the Financial postings and reverse the goods issue of this production order. After doing all these go to the sale order and delete the sales order ,this automatically deletes the Production order and the sales order stock. If needed the run the report "SDRQCR21" If still you see any inconsistencies after doing all the above.Kindly please let me know If you need any more information on this.

How to post GR to inventory account for sales order stock

hello all,
I made a PO with account assignment category M. But the system is picking consumption G/L account in the PO and posting to the same G/L account in GR. How to make it inventory G/L account?

Hi,
When we are giving account assignment in the PO line item means that we are posting the cost to the expence account.i.e.It is procure to consumption.That is why when we make GR for a account assigned PO line item we are not able to post the stock to inventory.
So in the PO we cannot select a inventory GL account since we are mensioning that the item is accounted for certain account assignment.We can only mension consumption or expence account.

Storage Location Error duing GR of Subcontarct for The Sales Order Stock.

HI ,
Is there any settings to avoid individual entry of Storage Location field for the child components during the Goods Receipt from Subcontractor for the Sales Order Stock.
As per SAP standard , I have created Separate storage location for Sales order stock components as the Stock provided to vendor . While receiving the header component , System showing error to enter storage location for all the BOM component s . My Requirement is , Storage location should come automatically for the child component while receiving the Header Component.
Yogesh.K.

Hi Jurgen,
He's right, the posting is not a bug.
In case of MTO scenario, if components are managed in the sales order / project stock system withdraw them from storage location.
http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/4d/2b90b043ad11d189410000e829fbbd/frameset.htm
The subcontracting orders are account-assigned to a sales order or a WBS element. Thus, the components are not transferred (using a transfer posting) to the "stock of material provided to vendor" but are directly withdrawn from the sales order stock or the project stock at the time of the goods receipt.
Since the components are not transferred to the "stock of material provided to vendor", we recommend that you use a transfer posting to transfer the provided components to a new storage location (for example, 9999). This enables you to obtain an overview of those stocks that are physically located at the subcontractor. This information is particularly important when you carry out a physical inventory of the sales order stocks and project stocks.

Subcontracting for Sales Order Stock and collective Transfer Posting

Dear Expert,
We have a scenario in subcontracting wherein the sales order the customer also wants to see the components and as such along with the Header item of subcontracting ,we also mention the components as another line item in the sane Sales Order.
Now from the sale sorder two Po's are created onr for the subcontractor and one for the compnens to be procured.
Since the components are procured on sales order stock there is noway we can issue it to the Vendor stock through Movt .Type 541.
As per SAP AG WE CAN:
"ubcontracting is also possible in conjunction with sales order stocks and project stocks. The subcontracting orders are account-assigned to a sales order or a WBS element. Thus, the components are not transferred (using a transfer posting) to the u201Cstock of material provided to vendoru201D but are directly withdrawn from the sales order stock or the project stock at the time of the goods receipt. The material manufactured is also posted to the sales order stock or to the project stock. The cost of subcontracting is then debited to the sales order or WBS element.Since the components are not transferred to the u201Cstock of material provided to vendoru201D, we recommend that you use a transfer posting to transfer the provided components to a new storage location (for example, 9999). This enables you to obtain an overview of those stocks that are physically located at the subcontractor.This information is particularly important when you carry out a physical inventory of the sales order stocks and project stocks."
But my query is that how many such storage locations will be created for the subcontracting vendors.
Secondly for the stock transfer from sales to storage location , we have lots of sales order, is dera way through which we can do bulk transfer rathar than clicking at new item everytime and then doing the transfer posting.
your expert advice shallbe helpful in resolving a longtime pending issue , waiting for the response.

Jabeen

This is a known issue, the system doesnt allow stock to have two special stock statuses at the same time.
Your concern of having to make multiple storage locations is valid (since this is a configuration).
I suggest you do the following
- Configure a warehouse and a single storage type (say 001). Allow mixing of materials in a single bin
- Assign this warehouse to a new storage location.
- Create a bin for every sales order number in the warehouse.
- When goods are moved to subcontractor, perform a transfer posting to the storage location, and perform a putaway to the respective bin. The putaway strategy can be tweaked using a user exit to go to the relevant bin. This way you do not have to enter the WM transaction for putaway.
- To consume the stocks, you can use 231E movement (MB1A). On the WM side, the picking strategy can be enhanced so that the picking TO is generated with the correct source bin. Make sure the GL account and CO objects are as per FICO requirements.
This way you can track the stocks binwise (bin level reports are available in WM), perform physical inventory and also consume the stocks from the relevant bin automatically.
We had faced the same situation, and we ended up not having sales order stock at all.
Hope this helps.

Cost of Inventory for Special Stock- (Sales Order Stock)

Dear All,
We manufactures "x" materail under Make to Stock and Make to Order Scenarios. We carried the standard cost estimate through CK11N and released through CK24N. There is a value of "X". Also we carried the sales order cost estimate that is value "Y". But we have observed the inventory value updated during confirmation of the production is at "Z" value. We have identified this Z value is the value of special stock previous periods.
I would like to know the procedure of valuation of inventory under scenarios
Regards
Anilkumar

Hi,
thanks for your info.
Can i say the changes will be done for those special stock.?
Actually my problem is related to a Return Sales order process where we need to change the MAP before DO and GI, otherwise the Material document would not capture the correct MAP during GI.
and the solution from the senior is select the variance "special stock -Sales order" and enter the sales doc# in MR21.
The problem that we are not yet having any special stock for this return Sales order, but this MR21 works for us and after that, the material document is able to capture the correct MAP.
Any idea what or where the MR21 is updating for the "Special Stock-Sales order" if we don't have any Sales order stock for the paticular sales document?

Safety Stock Not Being Released To Cover New Sales Orders Or Forecast

Hi,
Does anyone know of a way to get safety stock at the lower levels of the BOM to get released for upper level sales order or forecast demand without having to adjust the effectively out to a future date?
Example:
A = Finish goods item with two weeks lead time
B= component of A and it has two weeks lead time
C= component of B and has 10 weeks lead time.
Have safety stock hard coded with an effective date of today for 100,000 units.
I have 100,000 in inventory and I have planned orders to cover all my demands and future safety stock requirements for the next ten weeks.
I receive a new sales order for 50,000 units with a customer request date five weeks out.
I am getting ATP dates to assign to the new sales order 14 weeks out versus allowing me to use 50,000 units from the safety stock to schedule in week five?
Even If I schedule the sales order for five weeks, because I have gone down two levels to confirm that I have safety stock, and It could be used, planned orders would not get generated at the next two levels, because the demand date on the safety stock is earlier than the demand date for the new order?
Is there any resolution that anyone has found that addresses this issue?
We have set a demand priority rule on the ASCP plan options tab to "Sales Order Priority" where we have set criteria for number one to "Sales Orders & MDS Entries Priority" and number two to "Schedule Date".
We have found that adjusting the supply and demand dates out to cover the full 14 week period does reduce the safety stock at the lower levels, but it also creates additional starts and inventory to be put into the line, which makes this approach not feasible.
Does anyone have any solutions to this problem? We do not build safety stock for the sake of building safety stock. We want it to be used for any sales order or forecast demand that comes within the planning horizon.
Appreciate any inputs.
Regards,
Dave

Hi Dave,
Try this note suggestion, possibly help you in resolving your issue.
How to Avoid Getting Safety Stock Replenishment Too Early in an ASCP Plan [ID 301629.1]
In order to line up the safety stock supply with the changes in safety stock, a combination of the profiles must be used:
MSC: Use FIFO Pegging as yes
and the plan option
Peg Supplies by Demand Priority is checked.
The profile MSC: Use FIFO Pegging as yes will perform the following:
For all demands and supplies, it proceeds item by item and
pegs supplies to demands on a daily basis. Daily supplies
and demands are not sorted. When supplies or demands
on a given date are used up, it picks from supplies or
demands on the next date. The unpegged supplies are
pegged to excess.
The peg supplies by demand priority combined with the profile above will prevent the system to plan ahead for safety stock.
Also no safety stock smoothing is setup.
To implement the solution, please execute the following steps:
1. Please set the profile:
MSC: Use FIFO Pegging as yes and
2. Under the plan settings in the main tab the set the following options:
Enable Pegging ON
Peg Supplies by Demand Priority ON

'Sales order stock' has to hit inventory account at GR

I'm facing the completion of the following scenario:
. sales order to customer
. sales order item generates purchase requisition, which is converted into a purchase order
. goods are received in our stock, 'sales order stock'
. vendor invoice is posted to the purchase order
. delivery is created, goods issue is posted
. customer is billed.
The guy before me configured the whole thing and left, I have to complete it. From a logistical point of view it works fine: it all goes via 'sales order stock'. However from a financial point of view there are some things incorrect:
. the GR does not post against the regular inventory stock account (in the account assignment of the purchase order there is a GL account and the related sales order line item)
. the PGI does have any financial posting at all
What I have to establish is:
. with GR, material goes into sales order stock with regular financial posting (debit inventory, credit GR/IR)
.with PGI, material goes out of sales order stock, with financial posting: credit inventory, debit intermediate account (in the billing document the intermediate account is credited and the COGS account is debited).
Again from a logistical point of view it all looks okay, the financial side is bothering me . . .
Who can help me out?
thx
Ben

Further to my last message. What item category are you using.
TAS is for third party, which works as I described. The GR does not post into sales order stock, but direct to cost of sales.
If you use TAB, then this is individual purchase order. In this case the GR should post to valuated sales order stock, as you expected. If you have other custom item category, then it depends on the configuration of that item category. You could compare it to the SAP standards TAB/TAS. You could also try to test in your test system using the SAP standard item categories. Also if you use material valuation with standard price, make sure the material has a price, or you will not get any posting.

Make to Stock - Sales order stock allocation

Hello Experts,
In the make to stock scenario, how do I allocate certain stock to a sales Order? For example, with my company, there could be 30 items in a sales order. All item stocks are not available at the time of Order placed. As we make the stock, we want the stock to be allocated to this sales order. Is there any way to do that?
Please help.
Thanks

Hi,
As my understanding, there is no such assignment function to MTS sales order in standard SAP.. The possible solutions I ve touched include..
1, 'convert' MTS to MTO.. It requires that you can change the item category in sales order.. Once stock for one item is fulfilled.. Change the item category in sales order from MTS to MTO and move the corresponding stock from normal stock to sales order stock via 413..
2. Rely on the SD ATP logic..if your product categories are not so many.. The tipical ATP configration is that for sales order, the ATP scope includes stock, production order, purchase order..etc and ATP checking scope for DN is only against on-hand stock.. ATP checking and/or rescheduling for Sales orders gives out a sequency of confirmed delivery date, meaning, all the sales orders are queued for deliverying in system based on the ATP status.. DNs need to be created strictly according to the confirmed delivery date in sales order.. This way actually raises a very high management requirement to business..
3.If you use batch management, you can also consider 'batch determination' for this assignment..
4,In one of my previous project, they use 'consignment process' for such MTS assignment.. Such assignment business in that client is not a normal process and it is only applicable for some VIP customers.. If the stock is not enough to fulfill all the demand in the sales order, they create a special consignment fill-up order to 'delivery the goods on hand to customer consignment stock', while warehouse places special label on these goods when they 'PGI' the consignment fill up delivery.. This way ensures that the goods can not be withdrawed by other Sales order and/or reservations..

Stock allocation in sales order must be in BIN level

Hi Experts,
Currently stock allocation in sales order base on plant level, so it gave us wrong message (miss leading) when the customer ask about their order status....., therefore we need the stock allocation in sales oder after item already in BIN,
Please help me to knp what are all the setting s to be checked and how to make it product allocation.
Thanks

Storage bin (WM) is deterimned in delivery (during picking), not in SO order.
I'm afraid your requirement is not possible in standard system (w/o development).
Storage bin defined where exactly your stock is in your SLoc - why do you need this information in SO, what is the sense of it?

Pls explain sales order stock step by step with t-codes

Hi friends,
can anybody explain the step by step procedure for configuring sales order stock.
Stock that is used for a sales order. It is directly allocated to a sales order. Components can only be used to produce material ordered by the customer and the finished product can only be delivered to the customer via the sales order.
You can manage valuated or non-valuated sales order stock.
If the sales order stock is not valuated, it is managed via a cost collector. The system does not carry out invoice verification postings for goods movements, and you cannot obtain an overview of how the stock is valuated until the end of the settlement period in Controlling.
If the sales order stock is valuated, you have immediate access to its value in Financial Accounting. The assigned accounts are debited and credited as a result of the valuated goods movements.
but i am not clear of how to map it into sap.kindly explain it step by step.

thank you

Product costing valuated sales order stock

Hi all,
We are in complex mfg & currently re-vamping all the ERP SAP instances ( totalling 13 company codes into one single)
All 13 units( who use NON Valuated scenarios for cost object controlling) wil use valuated sales orders & projects. The old 13 companies will be trated as profit centers with transfer pricing functionality ( Multiple valuations)
My issue is to get a product cost for sales order in <b>profit center view</b> ( plan cost) exactly same as to the marked standard cost itemisation of the FERT material.
We mark & release the std cost in Jan & the client wants to have the same itemisation of the cost ( with same values) even if they create a sales order in 2nd or 3rd or last quarter. ( As you might be knowing that the sales order wil always cal;culate the values as per the current qty structure date. In Std SAP date control, there is nothing which allows us to cost exactly the same cost estimate as marked & released in JAn)
Could somebody pls give pointers as how to get this sales order plan cost itemisation exactly equal to prevously marked & released itemisation ?
We use the Std costing variant ( Costing Type = Profit center valuation) with Std date control.
Thanks in advance to all of you,
Warm Regards

Hi,
If the sales order stock is valuated, you have immediate access to its value in Financial Accounting. The assigned accounts are debited and credited as a result of the valuated goods movements. From the viewpoint of MRP, the sales order stock is available for the sales order only.
If the sales order stock is not valuated, it is managed via a cost collector. The system does not carry out invoice verification postings for goods movements, and you cannot obtain an overview of how the stock is valuated until the end of the settlement period in Controlling.
Valuated sales order stocks have the following advantages:
The full costs are available at each manufacturing level.
All goods movements are immediately reflected in Financial Accounting

Material Ledger Functionality with Non Valuated Sales Order Stock

We are in the process of setting up Make To Order (MTO) with Non Valuated Sales Order Stock. We currently use the Material Ledger in our other businesses that use Process Orders.
Does the Material Ledger functionality support MTO with Non Valuated Sales Order Stock? I have been testing this and have not yet figured out how to get ML postings. We are using production orders that settle to sales orders. We do not bring this into inventory, the costs reside on the sales order.
If this functionality does exist, I would assume I need to configure the Material Update Structure but I cannot find any documentation on this.
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards,
Greg

Hi Greg,
no, material ledger will not be able to calculate and allocate actual costs for the sales order in the scenario you describe. It would of course, if you used the valuated sales order stock.
Generally SAP sees in the valuated sales order stocks (avaliable since 3,1 or something) a great improvement and no real reason to use still the non-valuated scenario.
best regards,
Udo

Sales order stock to normal stock, Billing in each stage of production

Dear experts,
Business process:
In our client will process the goods in 3 stages. Finished good of on process is raw material of another process and sales order based production is going on in my client. Each stage of production required to bill to the customer. But we cannot deliver the goods to the customer and used internally in another stage of process.
Problem:
1.     At the time of good receipt in MB31 the finished good going to the sales order stock(Because of sales order production). How to convert the sales order stock in to normal stock or How to stop it?
2.     Process 1 stage SFG (7903-valution class) is issued to the 2 stage raw material. At that time all GBB-VBR setting had did it for consumption. In cost sheets and product costing I mentioned in those account. But error is visible in CO02 (production release) goto-cost-itemization. How to solve this problem?
3.     How to generate the bill in each stage to the customer?
4.     In last stage how to give the delivery?
Thanks in advance for helping me.

Venkat

Hi
If I understand you, you want to create SD invoices to your customer en each step. You can control each step by MM movements. So, you can populate customer tables (z-tables), for instance, with badi MB_DOCUMENT_BADI for instance and after, in the steps where the materials go on being raw materials (without delivery) you can try to create credit notes with a BAPI using the information in this z-tables and after invoice them. When you are in the last step, use the standard procedure (SO, delivery and invoice).
I hope this helps you

Different Method to valuate sales order stock

Dear expert,
     I came across a problem and I need your help:
     Scenario: Make-To-Order production without sales order controlling. Uses standard price in material master record.
     As we know, There are a predefined sequence to valuate sales order stock: First, The system uses the standard price on the basis of your customer exit COPCP002 Material valuation for valuated sales order stock. If not defined COPCP002, Then, the system uses sales order costing. Then, the system determines the standard price using the production order cost estimate. At the end, the system determines that If you manufacture a material both for the make-to-stock-inventory and for the valuated sales order stock, the system reads the material master record of the collective requirements material.
     In SAP online Help, there is a note that: If you calculate the standard price of sales order stock in a preliminary cost estimate for the manufacturing order or use the price in the material master record, you cannot transfer cost component splits into COPA. This is my doubt: I don't know exactly where are the differences between sales orde costing and standard price in material mater to determine sales order stock.
     So, I have a question: What are the extract diffences between using sale order cost estimate and the standard price in the material master record to determine valuated sales order stock?
     Thanks for your help. Best regards,

What you said is exactly what I want! Very thankful for your help.
Yes, I have found that in EBEW table that standard price is valuated with preliminary cost estimate because I don't give a sales order cost estimate but I give an sales order stock in the customizing - requirement class. So, I have this question that how the sales order stock is determined.
In COPA customizing (COprofitability analysismaster datavaluationSet up valuation using material cost estimate), standard cost estimate or sales order cost estimate can be transferred into COPA value fields in our system.
But, I have still have a question: I found in our system, preliminary cost estimate in the linked production order is determined for valuation of sales order stock in EBEW table. As sap online help says, cost component splits can not be transferred to COPA.
So, according to SAP online help, I think what you said u201Cu2026..However , when we start thinking about the result of this cost to flow into COPA , this cannot happen as the Inventory was valued with a Preliminary csot estimate. So , the Online help says that it will not be able to transfer Result of Preliminary cost estimate into COPA for transferrring COGS details. System would always require a Standard cost estimate or a Sales order Cost estimate to flow Cost details into COPAu201D is correct.
But, in our system, cost component can be transferred into COPA!? When I create a sales billing (invoice) with tcode VF01, it can create a profitability analysis document (shown in VF03) which it had a cost component split for that material in the sales order stock valuated with the preliminary cost estimate. Or where is stored for the Make-to-Order materialu2019s cost component split in COPA?
That is the real point that confused me. Hope you can help me. Thanks very much.
