CN01 assign Material Component to internal activity

Hello gurus;
In transaction CN01 / CN02 can I assign only one Material Component to internal activity without Bill of Material (BOM)?
It is possible? How can i do?
Best regards,
Mariano

Virendra;
Thanks for your response.
I saw the SAP Help portal in [http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/es/4c/227a7746e611d189470000e829fbbd/frameset.htm]
and I must use a Bill of Material to assign material component. There is no other choice
This is the point where I disagree with SAP, cause the client says that they use Operational Networks, cause it's more simple to assign components to activities.
Best regards.
Mariano

How to create a Purchase Requisition for a material component in WBS or NW?

Hello All,
I have created a project with the following structure:
Project Defination (Construction of Sub station)
      Main WBS
               Level 1 WBS
                         Level 2 WBS
                                   Network for level 2 WBS
                                                  Activity (Procuring Material)
                                                             Material Component - MATXXX (Stock Item)
Now in the above structure i have a activity where in i am procuring all the materails required to construct a Substation.
So under this activity i have assigned all the materials which are needed to build Substaion.
After i change the status of the project to release, there a reservation created for the quantity of the material which i have mentioned in the material component under the activity.
Now my querey is, how should i create a Purchase requisition for the reserved materail quantity in order to bring in the stock against the WBS / network / Project ?
Awaiting your reply.
Thanks and Regards,
Sudarshan.

Hi Sudarshan,
In your case you can run Me5J to check the list of PR created against your project.
Then Create PO and similarly you can check list of PO in Me2J.
Then followed by GR and check if any GR release exist in MIGO. Then once after doing GR you can check the Material in Stock which will move material from Unrestricted stock to Project Stock which you can check it in MMBE.
Then you can do the Good Issue in MIGO itself and run MIRO to complete the cycle.

Material planning currency in assignment tab of Internal activity

Hello Friends,
In the network configuration profile using OPUU, I have included material cost element in the activity parameter tab of internally y processed activity having control key PS01.
The inclusion of cost element as above will allow user to plan material value in the assignment tab of the internally processed tab. However, the currency displayed for planning is USD and that too is grayed i.e. non editable. Necessary screen shot is appended.
Can we change this default currency to object currency? Our is a global system in which is controlling area currency is USD but object currency is country specific i.e. for India INR, for SG the same is SGD, for Thailand it is THB etc.
Thanks and best regards

Hello
Thanks for your feedback.
Can you provide authentic SAP documents to estabilish your argument ?
That will be very helpful to me.

Assignment of Material Component

Hi,
To which activity should we attached material component ( Stock and Nonstock)?
Please explain both for Internal Activty as well as external activity.
Muzamil

Hi,
To answer your question To which activity should we attached material component ":
Lets take an example:
Component "A" is being procured and dispatched to the customer. But before dispatching assume that there is a Factory acceptance test (FAT) for this material, so in your project there would be three activities with FS relation ship:
Procurement> FAT> Dispatch or the Shipment
Now you know very well that this material is needed for sure at the end of the procurement activity or at the start of the FAT activity.
1. Either assign this material to Procurement activity with Allign finish date on the general data tab of the Material "A"
or assign it to FAT activity with Allign start date on the general data tab of the Material "A"
2. So when you schedule the proecet the requirement date on the general data tab of the Material "A" is picked up from that particular activity.
Now to explain your question :When to chose the Stock and non stock:
1. If you wish to dispatch the material directly from the vendor to customer, assigne this material component--delete the procurement indicator and enter "N" as item categoty (Based on the configuration in OPS8) you wll have two options so choose third party order.
2. If you wish to dispatch the material after it is received in your own plant then chose "L" as item category and save it..
Hope it is clear now.
Reward point if found useful..Revert back if any more doubts.
Thanks.

Internal activity material cost not displayed in report s_alr_87013558

Hi all,

After the PR and PO creation of the material attached
the cost report s_alr_87013558 shows values in the
WBS element not in the network activity to the material
was attached
How to catch the cost value to network activity instead of WBS elment
Can anybody have a clue why it is happening
Thanks and Regards
pv

hi sreenivas,
thank you for the suggestion
in budget report the actual and commitment value is pulled
to respective network activity or wbs element depending upon the account assignment category during the automatic PR
creation from CJ20n
In my scenario during automatic PR creation it is Q(project make to order) instead of N(network).
Can you throw some light to this where in
i can generate auto PR with account assgnment category N
for a material attached to network through internal activity
Note:
to catch the cost we also need to activate the cost rel indicator in purchasing doc tab for material in cj20n

G/L is not automatically assigned to material component

Hi All,
We use transaction CJ20N in creating a meterial component, non stock item category(N), G/L is not automatically populated. Could you please tell me how does the system in SAP automatically assign G/L account in the material component. I have checked the valuation class for the material group and a G/L is assigned there but it is not assigning in the material component.
Thanks in advance

hi,
yes i have checked the network profile and the g/l account is mandatory, therefore prompting the system for the g/l account to be assigned first
also, the g/l account is assigned to the valuation class

Activity 0010 has been assigned material components - Deletion not allowed

HI friends,
Even after deleting the material from the activity, the system is giving the following error message
Activity 0010 has been assigned material components - Deletion not allowed
The status of the activity is REL.
One purchase order already created for this WBS element.
The material found deleted from the activity but why it is giving the same message.
Activity 0010 has been assigned material components - Deletion not allowed
Edited by: M.Alagesan on Sep 13, 2010 1:15 PM

Is that material already consumed?
Generally when you try to delete the operation, it also deletes the dependencies of the activity, i.e., it deletes the components associated to that activity, if it is not issued to the order.
Check the details in your system.

Bapi assign PO to material component

Hello
I am migrating some material components to a new project structure.
I have created the new material components and the new PO (based on the old ones) but i do not know now how to link the material component to the PO.Is there any BAPI that does this?
Do i have to first create a purchase requisition for this material component or how can i link the mat component to the PO.
I have used bapi's for creating material components and PO,so i would need also some bapi that could do something like that.
Is there any bapi for changing material component ?
thank you

Hi
before creating material components,we have to set the purchase requisition flag to "immediately" so that a purchase requisition is created immediately after material component creation.
Afterwards i have read the newly created PR's and gave them as parameter to the bapi for PO creation

Dear,
CK11N check the cost component structure for this material
Check whether secondary cost element is assined to that activity.If it is assigned then check cost component structure in IMG where that secondary cost element is assigned or not.

Material component in created status

Hi,
The n/w is released also activity is released but the material component assigned are still in created status. PR,PO and GR for the material done but GI not allowed because of this status movement allowed is untick.
Please suggest.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply ..
the material component status in cj20n is created not released where as the activty is released. Procurement for the material is allowed but since the material is in system status created movement allowed is untick and hence GI not allowed.

Costs of cost element 7500001 cannot be assigned to any cost component
Message no. CK578
Diagnosis
In preliminary order costing or a confirmation, costs for cost element 7500001 were calculated that could not be assigned to any cost component of cost component structure 01.
These costs are from the usage of an internal activity (activity type SETUP) for cost center WORKCENTER.
System Response
The costs will be treated as fully relevant to stock valuation, and debit the order and credit the cost center with the full amount when a confirmation is entered.
Procedure
If necessary, assign cost element 7500001 to a cost component in cost component structure 01.

Dear,
You need to check this calling your cost component structure using OKTZ.Your Cost Element must be assigned to one of the components.
Please closed your previous thread also by assigning relevant points.

Material component Overview

Hi,
1) In the material component overview, there is a column called "Quantity Received". But no value is getting updated in this column when I am receiving materials. What can be the reason for this?
2) In the same report, "Shortfall Qty" column is also available. Is it the difference between the Requirement Qty and the Received Qty? If not, what is it?
3) What is the meaning of "Pegged Requirement"?
regards
Pratap

Hi Mr.Muraleedharan,
The second and the third questions are solved. My Shortfall qty column is displaying the correct values.
But the "Quantity Received" column is not at all displaying any values. I will explain to you my whole scenario.
Scenario:
In our project, we are using Internal activities for creating reservations of materials. So, no "GR qty" is being shown in the activity detail screen as in the case of External activity.
A WBS BOM is created for the whole project which consists of all the materials required. MRP is run on the WBS BOM and the procurement is done. When I check the "CN52N" after doing GR, the "GR Qty" column is not getting updated. The materials are both L and N.
Hope you have understood my scenario.
regards
Pratap

Material ledger is not active in valuation area C002

Dear All,
I have a Scheduling Agreement for a material 'A' with Vendor 'V' with diff prices with validity dates, I did the GR & when i am posting the invoice thro' miro, system is throwing error as above Material ledger is not active in valuation area C002 Why should I activate the material ledger here ? Pls suggest how can i solve this ?
regds,
Kallu

Hi
For a Particular material, Material Ledger is active or not? Can be checked in Accountig view of Material Master.
Why we need Material Ledger?
A fundamental task of the material ledger is carrying inventories in multiple currencies and/or
valuations.
Material inventory values are normally carried by the SAP system in one currency. The material
ledger component enables the R/3 System to carry inventory values in two additional
currencies/valuations. Therefore, all goods movements in the material ledger are performed in up
to 3 currencies or valuations. Currency amounts are translated into foreign currencies at
historical exchange rates directly at the time of posting. Businesses such as those in highinflation
countries can therefore carry their inventories in a more stable currency (such as US
dollars). This reveals inflationary effects on inventory values.
If you use transfer prices to represent value flows in your company in different
valuation views, you must use the material ledger. This allows you to carry your
inventories in three different valuations (legal valuation, valuation for reporting
purposes, and profit center valuation).
Before activating the material ledger, make sure you know which currencies and valuations
you want to use, because you cannot go back and change the setting.
Activating the material ledger is a prerequisite for using multiple valuations.
Thanks
Raman
