Catch Weight Mgmt and WM

Hello,
We have CWM installed and right now we have storage bins (FP) defined in IM and reserve bins defined in WM. I am not sure why this was done, but it causes unnecessary movements between the 2 storage locations. I am wondering if running CWM is the reason for this setup. Also, I have read that if you run CWM, you need to use Inventory Accounting, is this true?
We have the requirement of valuating stock by parallel unit of measure.

The storage bins might have been created as a part of business requirement.
If you run CWM the following are a paart of it in edition to SAP ECC
- LIME as a component of SAP AP (for inventory management)
- Inventory Accounting based on SAP SEM

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.

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.

Catch Weight Item

Hi,
We maintain catch weight item's in food processing industry. We should be able to procure goods based on the items that will accomodate in each pallet. The purchaser should be able to see the total cases required per layer and total layers required for per pallet.
We maintain UoM in material master, please let me know how the system can calculate the requirement based on cases for each material. We need to have this requirement in planning screen, so that the purchaser will finalise the quantity by looking the number of cases that is required for each pallet.
Thank you.

Good day
We have a similar issue.
In our system the line item type for the CW product was IDCW. When we however split them by batch into two sub-lines, the new lines defaulted to IDLV (instead of the expected IDCW).
So I think Alexander's diagnosis is spot on?
My question though... What logic does EWM use to derive the item type for the sub-lines? Because surely it should be the same as the 'parent' line item (IDCW in the case) ?
Please advise
Callie

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 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

What is the difference between Category Mgmt and Spend Analysis?

Hi Friends
What is the difference between Category Mgmt and Spend Analysis?
Regards
Chinna Krishna

Hi Chinna
Here are my two cents on this questions
1. Catagory Management : It pertains to all sourcing activities that a purchasing group does for a specific catagory of items ( say tyres, bearings, etc. in automobile industry scenario OR steel sheets, electric motor, etc. in consumer durables industry scenario) in order to meet companies strategic goals like cost, quality, delivery and new product introduction. It also involves the strategic sourcing piece for that category. Typically it can include following activities for a category which is being managed
- Identifying current and future business & technical requirements
- Constant vigilence and analysis of supply market for that category ( and also identifying new sources)
- Lauching various projects within category focussed on cost reduction, quality improvement, delivery improvement. This may include some of activities like supplier analysis. RFx, Reverse auctions, contract negotiation, etc.
- Monitoring the category specific supplier performance
Category Management team typically consists of cross functional team and it is iterative process (continuous improvement).
Category Management in covered to some extent in E-Sourcing application and its analysis is covered in Spend Analytics application. Fully blown category management is on road map of SAP but none of the current functionalities addresses it fully.
2. Spend Analysis: This involves analysis of the spend at highest level of organization. To improve the data quality, it typically involves spend data standardization & enrichment, supplier normalization and spend categorization. Once you have clean data, one can slice and dice the data to gain insight into the spend and identify opportunities for launching the various initiatives focussed on cost, quality and delivery.
SAP Spend Analytics application covers this spend analysis capability.
Its a long answer and hope it helps you.

How can i catch the gotfocus and lostfocus events

Hi Dear;
i tried to catch the gotfocus and lostfocus events, but i can't.
in the same code i can catch the onclick events.
is there any special code for the gotfocus and lostfocus events?
regards;

Danny;
Whenever I have an issue such as this I fire up the event logger and it will show you exactly which events you can put your hooks into. If you are not using it you should really check it out. Will save you tons of time.

Difference between sysman.MGMT$ and sysman.MGMT_ views.

Hi all,
today while doing some RD i found that couple of views exist in both format like MGMT$ and MGMT_ format. Can you please tell me the difference between both of them.
Regards
DBA.

The MGMT$ views all are granted (select) to the role MGMT_USER and they all have a public synonym. The role MGMT_USER is granted to (super admin?) users defined in GC.
This is not the case for the MGMT_ views. So my idea is that the MGMT_ views are defined for internal usage and the MGMT$ views are for GC-users; f.i. show the correct data in the console.

Route with weight group and without weight group

Hello All
I have created two same routes as per user requirement one with weight group and other is without weight group.once the delvery is created the route is picked up.But how do i know whether this route is with weight group or without weight group.
Could you please clarify so that i can proceed for testing.
Regards
T.Srikanth

Dear Srikanth,
Try this
Go to SE16 enter LIKP table then execute here you enter your delivery number then go to menu>Settings>Format list-->Clik on Choose fields here you deselect all the fields you select
VBELN - Delivery
GRULG - Weight group
PERFK - Route then execute now you can get the details about the delivery number , weight group and Route.
If system displays only Delivery and Route you can understand there is no involvement of weight group in the route determination.
If the system displays Delivery,weight group and route then you can understand that thre is weight group involvement in the route determination.
I hope this will help you,
Regards,
Murali.
