Catch Weight Management - CWM: Classic Accounting VS Inventory Accounting

Hello dear experts,
The info below was extracted from this link: SAP Catch Weight Management - SAP Library
The link says:
To implement SAP CWM, you need the following components:
· SAP ERP Central Component (SAP ECC)
· LIME as a component of SAP AP (for inventory management)
· Inventory Accounting based on SAP SEM
  After you have installed the components you must activate the SAP CWM solution at client level.
I understand that you have to "install" LIME and Inventory Accounting in order to activate CWM, but my question is:
Do we have to "implement/use" Inventory Accounting in order to use CWM? or is Inventory Accounting just an option that is offered with CWM and the only requirement is to "install it but not necessarily implement/use it"?
We are currently operating under Classic Accounting and we would like to stay like that for the moment, but we would also like to implement CWM, so we're looking for some guidance.
Can we use Classic Accounting and CWM together?
This is the last piece of info we need before we make a decision as to whether or not to implement CWM. 

Hi
You cannot user REM for CWM material types.  For others you can stil use.

    Hi,
    SAP CWM provides processes and functions to allow materials to be carried in two independent units of measure throughout the entire supply chain (sales and distribution, purchasing, materials management, production, quality management and logistics execution). SAP CWM also contains costing and inventory management functions and supports integration of Financial Accounting and Controlling, allowing you to map requirements in the valuation area.

  • Catch Weight Management UD

    Hi gurus.
    I'm trying to post stock to unrestricted from giving usage decision to various inspection lots, but I simply can't. When I try to save the UD, the next message appears:
    Material 100003 is not a catch weight material
    Message no. /CWM/MD009
    There are catch weight materials and non catch weight as well, does this mean that I can't have QM inspections in all material types? There wasn't any problem with creation of inspection plan or inspection setup at any moment.
    Thanks in advance for you help.
    Arturo

    1)It happens with status
    INSP RREC SPRQ
    and
    REL  CALC SPRQ
    2)The quantity in QA02 is 300 UN.
    The quantity to post in unrestricted is also 300 UN.
    We just found the note 1490528:
    "When determining conversion factors using alternative units of measure from
    the material master, the system does not take into account that Catch
    Weight Management (CWM) is activated. As a result, following the processing
    of the load file, there are times when you may receive the message
    /CWM/MD009 "Material _ is not a catch weight Material."."
    I'll let you know if this helped.
    Greetings.

    No there is no patch available. You will have to have ECC 600 to have CWM 2.0.

  • Catch Weight Management Activation Dilemma

    Hello experts,
    We're looking into activating Catch Weight Management in our development client or a sandbox client. We have read the documentation available, but we have found what seems to be either a "contradiction" in the documentation, or a "misunderstanding" on our side. It is probably just a misunderstanding on our side, so we would appreciate some clarification on this.
    The following link says that:  Note that this activation affects all clients and that you cannot reverse the characterization of the ERP system as SAP CWM.
    Activation of SAP Catch Weight Management - SAP Catch Weight Management - SAP Library
    This other link says that: Before you can use SAP Catch Weight Management (SAP CWM), you must activate SAP CWM at client level.
    Activating SAP Catch Weight Management - SAP Catch Weight Management - SAP Library
    The questions is: Can we activate CWM in our development client or a sandbox client without affecting the other clients (QA and Production)?
    This is a big irreversible change, that's why we need proper clarification before we make a change.

    Hi Oscar,
    When you activate CWM, it will strip your ERP of some reports, t-codes, and functionality.
    You choose on material level if material is standard or CWManaged.
    To answer your question, it is implemented on Client level, and you assign the indicator for CWM on material level. You need to maintain CWM view.
    In addition please read SAP Note 886761. It tells you what major changes/retrictions are implemented after CWM activation.
    Also, if you are using RF devices in WM, and you want to process CWM materials through RF too, you will need to implement this - SAP note 738159 : Catch Weight with Radio Frequency.
    It isn't that easy to do that, but after implementing the changes, you will have screens for CWM on your RF devices.
    Otherwise, you would always get an error that you need to enter the qty in parallel unit of measure...
    Please read this thoroughly, it will help you catch up wth CWM

  • IS Catch Weight Management vs. REM

    Hi,
    Note 1180040 says that repetitive manufacturing is not supported in CWM. Does that mean that you can't use REM at all or can I still use REMfor materials which are not CWM enabled.
    Any experiences?
    thanks,

    Hi
    You cannot user REM for CWM material types.  For others you can stil use.

  • How can I manage six email accounts WITHOUT them all appearing (twice) in the Folders column?

    How can I manage six email accounts WITHOUT them all appearing (twice) in the Folders column?
    All I need is ONE INBOX (like Windows Mail used to do) ...
    I can see in the 'Account' column of each message which email account it's using.
    Then, I either junk or read the message, followed by delete or file to one of my created folders.
    As it is, half my page is depth is taken up by 12 lines of Account names !!!

    That still leaves SIX lines of Account names down the side. All I want is ONE INBOX ... (I can see which account each message belongs to in the 'Account' column...)

  • Manage vendor bank account in company code level - Best practice

    hi,
    we have on our client several company codes, and we are thinking how to manage the vendor bank accounts in company codes level or in centeral level.
    our problem with company codes level is that the vendor bank accounts define in a centeral level so technically with sap standard it is not possible. if anyone can tell me that this is possible i will be very happy to know.
    in centeral level our problem is with the business process because of we do not have a person (functionalism ) that can be responsible for all the company codes, basically every company shoule be responsible for her vendors
    please advice what is the best practice to manage vendor bank accounts in enviroment of several company code
    regards,
    meir

    hi Raghu,
    i know that but this is not my qusition.
    which company code will be responsible to enter the bank account in the vendor master data? as i say the vendor bank accounts manage in centeral level and not in company code level and this is our problem and i like to know how other companies with the same situation handle with this issue
    and also after we have the bank accounts in the vendor master data what happend if for one vendor has several bank accounts one for every company code? how the payment program F110 could know automaticaly which bank account to take (i know that there is an optoin to use Partner bank type in the vendor master data, and enter this PBT when posting the invoice of the vednor, but this is not good because of we do not want the the accountant will be responsible from which bank the vendor get his money).
    regards,
    meir

  • Open item management for gl accounts

    hi,
    the business requirement is to manage all their accounts on open item basis , what is the impact of maintaining accounts not recommended to be managed on open item basis.
    pls advice.
    thanks

    You can not manage recon account and PL a/c with OI management.  The issue here is occupying the storage  space and the system performance over a period of time since OI managed accounts will use more storage space than the line item manged. OI management is ideally suited for those accounts  for which you set off the Dr and Cr items.
