Charateristic values as MD of Material

hello everyone,
i have a little problem.
in our organization, we keep some additional chars. of the material in the AUSP table - Characteristic values (accept of the main chars. which appear in the MARA table).
The format of the AUSP table is: material & char. which indicate the main key, and the value of the char. which appear as the table column.
we're trying to implement the "material" as an InfoSource of some InfoCubes.
To do so, we have to change the format of the table so the material would indicate the main key, each char. would appear as a table column, and the char. value would be the key figure.
has anyone do that or hear about it?
10X, Hana.

Hi,
Found the problem, I was assigning my dependency to the wrong characteristic. It should have been assigned to the Manufacturer number (inferring characteristic) rather than the Manufacturer name (inferred characteristic).

Hi ,
My requirement is , to check each and every material entered in the selection screen and characterstic values assigned to this,
I dont need characterstic values for a material, i have to check whether characterstic values assigned or not , if not i have to give a message..
I used CLAF_CLASSIFICATION_OF_OBJECTS FM for getting charactersic values
it is giving NO classification found , but for tghat material classification is existing subsequently characterstic values are also there, i passed material no with leading zeros also.
i used WMCL_MAT_READ_CHAR_VALUES FM also , but it is giving No charcterstic values found for that Material but characterstic values are assigned for that Material..
Could u please find out ,where i am missing

Target finish value and Actual confirmed value for the header material

Hi guys,
For a given production order, I need to get the below mentioned two values for the header material of the production order:
1. Planned or Target finish value
2. Actual confirmed value
will this value be calculated like:
Target finish quantity x standard price of the material (maintained in MBEW-STPRS) = Target Finish Value
Actual confirmed quantity x standard price of the material (maintained in MBEW-STPRS) = Actual confirmed Value
OR
I can get these required value directly in DB table.
Please guide here.
Thanks & regards,
Ravish

How to infer values in characteristics of material

Hi Experts
I am trying to infer a characteristic (manufacturer name) based on another characterisitc (manufacturer number) for material master. I have done the following steps:
-created the characteristic (single value, Additional Value ticked, Not Ready for Input ticked)
-created the function (with manufacturer number as input parameter)
-created the function module for the above function
-created the dependency (type Procedure)
-assigned my dependency to the characteristics
-added the charateristics to a class
All these above objects are in Release/ active status.
In the dependency editor, I have put the following code to call my function/ function module Z_MFRNR_NAME
FUNCTION Z_MFRNR_NAME
(ZZ_MFRNR = $ROOT.ZZ_MFRNR,
ZZ_MFRNR_NAME = $SELF.ZZ_MFRNR_NAME).
In the function module, I am using CUOV_GET_FUNCTION_ARGUMENT (to get manufacturer number from table QUERY) and CUOV_SET_FUNCTION_ARGUMENT (to set manufacturer name in table MATCH).
The problem is that when I assign my class to a material in MM01/MM02, the function module is not called (I have a BREAK-POINT) hence the manufacturer name is not populated in the characteristic.
If I change the characteristic manufacturer name to 'Ready for Input' and try to enter a value manually, I hit my break-point but the manufacturer name returned by the function module is still not populated on the characteristic and I get a message 'Inconsistent values inferred for characteristic Mfr Name'. I checked the details of this message and it tells me that the value I entered manually and the value returned by the function module are incompatible with each other. This indicates that the function module is working fine as it is returning the manufacturer name.
Can someone please explain:
1. Why is the function module not called in the first place when the class is assigned to a material ie when there is no manuall entry to the characterirstic?
2. When there is manual entry and the function module is called, why doesnt the characteristic pick the value retured by the function module?
Am I missing something here.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Found the problem, I was assigning my dependency to the wrong characteristic. It should have been assigned to the Manufacturer number (inferring characteristic) rather than the Manufacturer name (inferred characteristic).

Value Contract for a material group

It is possible to create a contract on value basis for a particular material group without material masters.
Thanks
Sanjeev

Hi,
You can create contract value basis for a particular material group without material masters like for example creating contract for service where you can use item category D but you should use always account assignment category U ( contract without stock material ) & later in creating contract release order or call-off WRT contract, you can change account assignment category U to account assignment category K or as required.

Excise Value to Upload in Material Cost.

Hi Guru's
Our requirement is to add all the excise value to material cost. For that we have created new pricing procedure and it works ok as far as basic and education cess loading into material but this does not work for Higher Education Cess. Apart from loading into material cost it also takes the amount in modvat clearing account.
Please guide us so that the Higher education cess amount does not hit into modvat clearing account but to behave same as basic or education cess.
Our tax procedure is formula based (TAXINJ)
Regards
Maninder

Hi,
Check your H.EduCess condition type in following path ,where we specify which condition type is used for which sort of tax
SPRO --> Logistics general > tax on Goods Movements>India > Condition-Based Excise Determination>Classify Condition Types
Also check G/L account for excise transaction.
SPRO --> Logistics general --> tax on Goods Movements --> India --> Account determination --> Specify G/L Accounts per Excise Transaction

Freight value to add in material cost

HI.
I have freight condition FRA1 i which i ticked Accrual key in M/06,I have assigned FR6 account key to it in pricing.I don't want to calculate the tax on freight ,so i ticked statistics key in Pricing for Freight cond.(FRA1)
Then also freight value is not adding in material cost .
What would be the reason?
Please provide suitable solution.
Thanx & Regards

Hi,
Normally if you mention statistics for a condition, then the value will not add to material cost. You remove the statistics for the condition.
Also check for that condition type, have you maintained accrual check box.(tick mark for accrual inside condition type).
If you dont want to add frieght value for tax calculation, then give the step number accordingly.

Value Contract with dummy material.

I want to create a contract with Dummy material for a certain value of amount then want to create release orders for other materials with reference to this contract.
For example - I want to enter into a contract with a customer for amount £10000 for a period 1 year let's say for Any Electrical equipements.
and with reference to this contract I want to release 5-10 materails which I am not sure any material which will be required by customer.
The reference should be made with this contract and values from release order billed to customer needs to be updated to the contract
- The requirement is that a dummy material is entered at contract with certain amount in place of actual consumable materials in release order.
Kindly help
Thanks & best regards
Atree

Hi Atree,
it is not necessary a dummy material
use assortment module WS01 for the list of materials you need in contract and add the assortment to the contract

Automate Characteristic value selection in Classification -Material Master

Hi Gururs,
I have workflow to create Material Master
We have large number of Characteristics and Value selection manually (mandatory and optional)
we want to automate the Characteristics and Value selection
Any ideas to automate
Prabakaran K

What I understand from the question is this: While creating a material master through the use of workflow, you wish to automate the selection of mandatory and optional characteristics in the classification view. I have a few queries:
How many classes does your material have? only batch class or material class as well?
Also, on what basis do you want to automate the selection of the characteristic values for a material? There has to be a connection between the material type OR class assigned to the material, etc.

Numeric Value rounding problems in Materialized Views

All numeric values are getting rounded in the materialized views. Is there any solution for this?
Any help is greatly appreciated...

Hi Bill,
Actually the problem is with the Toad version I'm using, it is not interpreting the decimal values of MVs properly. They look good when I checked in SQLPLUS.
Any way, thanks for your response.

CIN - Excise value posting for the material document

Hi,
We have assigned the routine 356(FV64A356) in the Pricing Procedure for Depot Sales where Service team issues components for the Service repair job through a Goods Issue(MIGO-261 Mvt Type) document.We are also able to create a excise invoice for the material document.
The flow is Service Order - Goods Issue - through resource related billing a DMR is generated for the labour as well as the Goods Issued(MIGO-261), from DMR a debit memo is raised to invoice the Customer.
The formula in the routing is, during the creation of Billing or Proforma document it picks up the excise value posted for the delivery if the excise has been posted,if the delivery is not found, then it continues with the excise value calculated in the sales order (DMR in this case)
Is there any way or any other routine "to check for the excise value posted for the delivery ,if the delivery is not found, then check for the material documents if any linked to DMR(through Service Order)".
Could anyone help in this regard.
Thanks,
Ramki.

Hi,
While creating the excise challan using J1IF01 you can see a excise invoice selection tab, Select the J1IF01 line item & click on this tab, here you can select the excise invoice from which the base amount will be determined.

You can acheive this by using Group condition.
Create one condition type( Better copy from K007) and configure as following
Use same access sequence K007
Cond. class   - A Discount or surcharge
Calculat.type - B Fixed amount
Select Group condition check box
Scale basis   -B Value scale
Add this condition type in pricing procedure at appropriate position.
Maintain Condition record for the customer enter Amount as 10000.00 and click on scales

                                        220000 Amount 20000
This will give discount of 10000 on total purchase of 110000
and value of discount will be splitted in all items in proportion of the value.
