CIF Plant transfer

We have been running APO with CIF transfers of plants when new plants are created and materials daily.
We have set-up a new plant with complete and correct address, time zone, regions etc.
There is only one active integration model at a time, verified. Upon new creation, no errors and no error in activation. But this new plant will not transfer, no error logs, no queues no sign there is any error, but no location is created.
I have followed the trouble shooting, error checks in the CIF Trouble shooting. At this point it says to create an OSS.
Anybody have tips, suggestions?
We are on ECC5, SCM4.1

Monica,
Ask yourself the following ...
- Are you able to Transfer ANY Location /Plant at all to APO or is it just a few ? My guess (not sure) is you are doing Integration Models activation first time, since you are doing the location which is the first thing.
- I am assuming you have done all the Configuration necessary (BSG, User Settings, CFC9 ... etc) for Integration Models to be Activated.
- Check in ECC in BF11 if the ND-APO Flag is Set to Transfer BTEs (Business Transaction Events) to APO.
- For Plants I am assuming you done all the Setup in ECC to define them as a Manufacturing Plant or DC or
- All Locations need a POSTAL Code / ZIP Code to be Entered in the Address. This is absolutely a Must for Plants to come over to APO as Locations.
- Also on TIMEZONE .... I have learnt that it is Better to define all the Plants in the Same TimeZone and they belong to Multiple Countries then use the UTC TimeZone (you can use UTC for GMT, UTC530 for IST, UTC-5 instead of EST, UTC-8 instead of PST, UTC8 for Singapore ... etc.)
- If all is OK ... try Deactivating via CFM2 & then Deleting the Locations Integration Model Completely via CFM7. Then Generate a Fresh one (Initial Load) for just that 1 Location and Activate it. This should get the Location across to APO if all the Pre-requisites above are fulfilled.
- If it still does not ... my guess is that your PI Version, LiveCache Build version are incompatible & you will get the right answer on OSS itself.
Hope this helps. Pls Reward Points if you found this usefull.

Automatic update of vendor code during plant to plant Transfer

Hi all,
How to configure automatic update of vendor code during plant to plant Transfer.
Regards
KK

hi,
In transfer posting there is no buying/selling of the goods...there is only transfers may be from plant ot plant...or storage loc to st location...etc...
When you do plant to plant stock transfer, there is no role of the vendor...but the receiving and the destination plant/storage loc plays a big role...
Hope its clear...

Plant transfer with margin with different profit centers

Dear Experts,
We have a scenario wherein we manufacture the product at plant 100 and sell through plant 200.
As per new requirement, above plant transfer should be done with the margin.
Example:
Plant 100, product Std price: 1000
At the time of transfer to plant 200, product price should be 1500.
Rs. 500 will be the fixed margin for the year. next year it may change.
Plant 100, Prodcut price: 1000, profit center 101
Plant 200, product price 1500, profit center 201
Please guide me hoe to set up above case
Thanks

Hello Simi,
You can define a new condition type for the price at the second plant 200 (say ZP01 in the below screenshot) and maintain this condition type once in a year using MEK1. The condition class of this should be B - prices
Also, both plant 100 and 200 will need to have price control Standard at 1000 and 1500 respectively.
Now define a condition type(say Z000 in the screenshot below) and call it STO notional profit/margin ( I call this notional as you are gaining a profit from 'selling' to your own plant). This condition type should have condition class A -Discount/Surcharge
In the pricing procedure, assign subtotal E against condition type P101 (this standard condition type automatically picks Standard price in plant 100). Against ZP01, assign subtotal D.
Now against Z000 assign calculation type 12 (calculates ZP01 - P101). Against Z000, maintain an accrual key ZW1 (say) and assign this to an 'STO profit' G/L in OBYC.
Your postings in PGI should look as below in the 2nd screenshot. The profit centers in my case is the same, however, you can maintain different profit centers in Plant data 1 for the material in the 2 plants.

Plant to plant transfer in Q status

Hello,
Can someone please provide the steps to configure movement type to allow plant to plant transfer of stock with Q status? Can this be accomplished with custom movement type configuration or a user exit is available? Please advise.
Thanks,
avi

Hi Avi,
have you tried Transaction QAC2?
I think you should be able to move Plant stor. loc. to Plant stor. loc.
Edit: You will have to make sure that QM has been set up for the receiving plant as well.

Customization for Plant to Plant transfer

Hi Everybody !
There is a requirement saying that the system should request Incoming Certificate for the GR which is based on a Transfer Order(i.e. Plant to Plant transfer).
From the answers to my previous query I know that standard SAP does not supports this. So can anyone suggest any config change or ABAP developement which makes this possible ? Please give a detailed answer so that I can follow that and make this happen in my system.
Regards,
Manish.

As stated, the system doesn't support the COA requirement when your not treating the plant as a vendor.
1) Why are they requiring a COA anyway? There is no business benefit to that. In every client I've worked for we have done away with these. It was common practice at one time when plants had separate quality systems and business systems. But with all plants on one SAP system, data can be accessed for any plant. If the receiving plant needs to send out COA's they should be generated by SAP so there should be no need to have a hard-copy.
There is no ISO or GMP rule that these type of shipments require COA's. In fact, when all the plants are on the same system, they should discourage it.
2) if you really want to check for a COA, include the check as a pass/fail qualtitative characteristic as part of an 08 inspection lot.

Issue with Plant to Plant Transfer Mvt type 301

Hi,
I'm trying to do a Plant to Plant Transfer using MB1B/MIGO,mvt type 301, from a plant / Storage location which is NON HU managed to a plant / Storage location which is HU Managed, I'm getting this error,
Message No : VL296.
HU cannot be delivrd from plant XXX stor. loc. XXX to plant YYYY stor. loc YYYY
Has anyone come across this error ? Any solutions?
Many thanks
Feroz

Hi Feroz
In HU-managed storage locations, materials can be managed in HUs only. Mixed stock made up of packed and non-packed materials within the same storage location are not supported. HUs can also be managed in interim storage types.
if you want to use 311 to move the material already in stock, but in a non HUM Storage Location and you want to transfer those materials into a HUM Storage Location 304. If this is the case you can use the transaction VLMOVE with the destination plant and storage location. Before that you have to create the HU with the transaction code HU02 Storage location: where the material is and the status: in stock
please refer to the below link for additional details

Stock, plant to plant Transfer with a Profit Margin

Dear Experts,
Before raising the question let me explain a little about the existing process and configuration in a nutshell.
We have one company with two business areas(identical with Plant, used from the point of Org unit, We are using BA to get BA wise P&L and balance for selected BS GL a/c), also we have activated Profit center accounting but not used PCA from org. unit point of view but and alternative perspective it is used.(Product category wise)
BA1(Plant1) produce product most for the use in to BA2(Plant2) and we use STO to transfer such stock from Plant 1 to Plant 2.
as per this scenario Stock Cost is being transferred from BA1 to BA2 and we re-post the related indirect cost(admin cost) also from BA1 to BA2 to arrive at Profitability of BA1.
Now the business has identified some practical issues because cost which are related to BA1 can also be re-posted to BA2 and BA1 will show up a good bottom line while BA2 will bear unrelated cost. Also the inefficiency in production at plant 1 is also not that easy to analyze due to the current method.
Business wanted to avoid this but since both plant are in same company code we are unable to follow the stock transfer from plant to plant with Delivery and Billing,
Finally, Business has requested below that they want to do the transfers with a marginal profit to plant 2(BA2) and Material Cost(COGS) will remain in plant 1 and when BA 2 use it such stock will be posted in consumption.
is this process logical according to the SAP process and can we get the result by activating transfer posting. Is there any alternative method that we can fulfill the requirement.
Pls. advice.
Thanks in advance .

Hi Parth,
Thanks for you idea.. I refer below MM plant to plant transfer methods, Stock transfer from plant to plant can be done in different ways as i have learnt.they are mentioned below.
Stock Transfer Between Plants in One Step
Stock Transfer Between Plants in Two Steps
Stock Transport Order Without Delivery
Stock Transport Order with Delivery via Shipping
Stock Transport Order with Delivery and Billing Document/Invoice
The Stock Transport Order with Delivery and Billing Document/Invoice - cannot be done between same plants in a single Company code it referes to Cross company transfers only
follow below thread to learn about it further
Stock Transfer Using a Stock Transport Order - Managing Special Stocks (MM-IM) - SAP Library
but i'm not clear how you are doing your SO-PO transaction in same company code between plants.
Can you share me more information on this if you have.
Rgds,
Aziz

Inter plant to plant transfer inspection !!

Hi Gurus,
For a material I have activated inspection type 08 to inspect the goods while transfer from one plant to other.
But inspection lot is getting triggered when same material is issued for production although i have not activated inspection type 02.
What will be ther reason ?
What is the movt type for Goods issue inspection so that i can deactivate the same?
What is the movt type for stock transfer from one plant to other plant ?
Plz suggest.
Regards

Hi
But inspection lot is getting triggered when same material is issued for production although i have not activated inspection type 02.
THis Inspection lot must be of 08 as you are using MB1B-->311 mvt type to transfer from one staorage location to other,
08 will also create for storage location to storage n the same plant.
What will be ther reason ?
What is the movt type for Goods issue inspection so that i can deactivate the same?
This is due to 08 inspection type only
What is the movt type for stock transfer from one plant to other plant ?
It is depends upon which mvt type you are using for plant to plant transfer & how you are doing it.
Like for 301 mvt type ;08 only will create.
If you are using 303 -305 method then 02 lot will be created for 303 & for 305 Inspection lot of 05 will be made.
I hope its clear now

Intra pnat to plant transfer -STO- Freight is going to add on materialFG

Dear Friends ,
I wants to transfer stock from plant -1 to plant-2 (Intra company means in one company code plant to plant)
I am doing
1)STO-PO
2)MIGO_GI (Mov.type-351)
3)MIGO (Mov.type-101)
using standard pricing of STO at header level.
But when i put freight , system add it in inventory. That i dont want.
Becausr i am transfering FG only from one plant to another and for that i am paying transportation to transporter that is freight.
why should that freight should add in to cost.
Regards,
Mahesh.

Hi mahesh,
This is a business decision on what cost they want to post to which account as per the Country's legal setup. Say you are actually incurring cost on transportation of your stock then who is going to bear that cost, ideally the cost of a material is what it takes to come into your stores, so first discuss with client where they are going to post the cost if not on material if it is spent on mateial transportation.

PLANT TO PLANT TRANSFER

Can any body guide me how to check stock transfer one plant to another plant i have two plants 1001 and 1002 i send semi finished material 1001 plant to 1002 plant my query is i activate 08 inspection type but it is appear in inspection lot in 1001 plant i want that inspection lot as a 1002 goods receipt inspection lot how this business senario mapping kindly guide me

HI,
While do the stock transfer , make sure that activate the inspection type 02 ( good issue inspection)for the material in 1001 plant
then maintained the inspection type 08 ( stock transfer inspection )for the 1002 plant.
so system will generate the inspection lot for the receiving plant 1002.

Plant to Plant Transfer posting issue

Hi,
We would like to make a transfer posting within a company, but would like to markup the price for receiving plant.
Example as below:
Material ABC price is 5 in Plant 1000 and Plant 1001
We would like to transfer the material from plant 1000 to 1001
But we want to markup the price for material ABC in plant 1001 with price 6
Is this possible, and how?
Steven

Hi,
Price in the receiving plant : 5 Rs
Price in the STO document : 6 Rs
Case 1: If Price control indicator is 'S'
BSX 5 +
PRD 1 +
WRX 6 -
Price in the material master record doesn't change.
Case 2 : If Price control indicator is 'V'
BSX 6 +
WRX 6 -
Price in the material master record will change.
BSX G/L account will come based on the valuation class which is in the material master record, which is created with the receiving plant.

Ravi

MIGO transaction - plant to plant transfer - change to expiration date

I have a batch managed material where the shelf life in the material master record was changed from 30 to 60 months. Prior to changing the shelf life a batch of the mnaterial was reciepted onto the system. The expiration date was set to 30 months from the date of goods receipt. The shelf life was then changed to 60 months. When this batch of material was transferred to another plant, the expiration date was extended by 30 days. I can see why the system has done this but it is not correct becuase the system expiration date no longer matches the packaging.

there are many many OSS note regarding SLED, some a program fixes others are consulting notes explaining how it is meant to be.
How did you do your transfer? with a STO? or just a MM posting?
if with a STO, do you have the batch number entered in the STO ?
How do you process the receipt? in MIGO or in old transactions?
with reference to delivery or to PO?
do you get warning messages? which?
do you get a pop-up? what is defaulted there and what was entered manually?

CIF Delta transfer - PIR

Hi
I have included the fields LIFAB and LIFBI ( available from and available to dates of a Purchase info record) of EINA table in BD52 for delta transfer.
When i update the Purchase info record with the available from and available to dates and do a CFM3, the corresponding T-Lane in APO is not getting updated.
We want this transfer to take place thru delta transfer and not thru a intial transfer which is scheduled on a longer periodic gap.
Any thoughts on this pls..
Regards
Joe

the combination of Plant, material, P-Org in the Integration model decides the updates
