Config: planning material and material blocking

Hi all,
Is there a config that can be done to prevent the locking of material when sales personnel are entering orders in the system.
Example:
sales person in entering order for material m1 thats in planning material p1
planning material p1 includes material m1,m2,m3.
all material m1 m2 m3 are locked because they bellong to planning material p1.
In SM12 the only blocking element is on planning material p1.
if a shipping is done during this time using LT03 we get material m3 blocked.
Regards!
Curtis

Hi,
I have tried this and all this does is not allow the material m1 with planning material p1 to be added in a sales order.
What I want is for material m1 to be added in sales order and at the same time to be able to not block the material m1 for shipping in LT03 or vl02n.
If there's a lock on the planning material p1 that is associated to the material m1 also this will block all material that has planning material m1 associated to it.
I tried several combinations in ovsu and nothing seems to work the way I want it to.
Maybe this is not possible?
Regards!

Vendor Evaluation by Material and Material Group wise

Dear Folks,
Customer requirement is to see subcriterion level scores of Vendor
Evaluation according to material, Material group wise. But the
datasource provided by SAP is providing the data according to
Purchasing Organisation level and Vendor level (0MM_PUR_VE_01).Is it
Possible to break the scores according to material group and material
as TC in r/3: ME6B provides ranking based on Main Criterion level
scores. If possible, what is the logic?
Thanks in Advance

Hi Anil,
Thanks for ur reply.
But Customer requires vendor evaluation data through Automatic route.
0MM_PUR_VE_02 caters to semi-automatic data which needs to be configured in r/3, and customer doesn't want to do that. Is there any other solution.

Link between material and material groups

hi all,
I have reploicated material groups and materials in SRM.How do i link these naterial group and materials?

Deepa,
When you replicate material from ECC, data from multiple tables in backend is extracted and sent to SRM in BDOC. One of the tables is MARA and it has material group information.
Check COMMPR01 transaction in SRM and pull up a material you replicated. It should show there the material group.

Authorization for material type and material views

Hello all,
I would need to restrict a user group, in creation (MM01) and modification of material master, based of type material and material views.
The authorization, for each user should be:
- view, modify and create of all views, except accounting (B) for type material ZFER;
- view, modify and create of all views for type material ZOFF.
I tried to create 2 roles in PFCG with the following authorization objects:
1) M_MATE_MAR (Material Master: Material Types) ACTVT = *, BEGRU = ZFER and M_MATE_STA (Maintenance Statuses) ACTVT = *, STATM = A,C, D, E, F, G,K, L, P, Q, S, V, X, Z (excluding B)
2) ) M_MATE_MAR ACTVT = *, BEGRU = ZFER and M_MATE_STA ACTVT = *, STATM = B
but the effect is to be authorized, to all view for material type ZFER and ZOFF.
I have already updated the authorization group of the type materials (OMS2).
Is there a solution for this problem?
(component version SAP ECC 6.0)
Thanks.
Regards,
Luca

I tried to create 2 roles in PFCG with the following authorization objects: 1) M_MATE_MAR (Material Master: Material Types) ACTVT = *, BEGRU = ZFER and M_MATE_STA (Maintenance Statuses) ACTVT = *, STATM = A,C, D, E, F, G,K, L, P, Q, S, V, X, Z (excluding B) 2) ) M_MATE_MAR ACTVT = *, BEGRU = ZFER and M_MATE_STA ACTVT = *, STATM = B
- Are both these roles assigned to the same user? then your purpose is not solved, It is more or less like giving full authorization.
- One role should be
M_MATE_MAR (Material Master: Material Types) ACTVT = *, BEGRU = ZFER and M_MATE_STA (Maintenance Statuses) ACTVT = *, STATM = A,C, D, E, F, G,K, L, P, Q, S, V, X, Z (excluding B) for view, modify and create of all views, except accounting (B) for type material ZFER. This should be assigned to one user
- Second role should be
M_MATE_MAR ACTVT = *, BEGRU = ZOFF and M_MATE_STA ACTVT = *, STATM = * for view, modify and create of all views for type material ZOFF. This role should be assigned to the second user.

Difference between alternative material and Materil substitution

Hi,
Can one explain me the difference between alternative material and material substitution?

Hi,
Altenative material and material substitution is same.Material substitution is normally when the customer want the upgradation of the product or materila is not availabel of the particulat item material substitution is used.

Material determination type is - A001
Define substitution reason in OVRQ

MPN, block PO for a vendor and material (not MPN material)

Hello everyone,
I have a doubt regarding MPN process I created a MPN material referencing an internal material. I have a vendor and a manufacturer.
If I create a purchase order with the MPN material (in the line the internal material comes automatically) and vendor and the manufacture is blocked by QM status (MP01). When I try to save the PO I receive a warning message and I am not able to save the PO. No Issues till now.
The thing is, if I create a PO with the internal material and the vendor I am able to save it, and the MPN material never comes up. And I want to be blocked also in this escenario.
thanks in advance
Sebas

Hi,
If you want that system should not allow user to create PO for the internal material and should only allow the MPN material then you can use Manufacturer's Part Profile in Internal material and MPN material and maintain Approved Manufacturer Part List (AMPL) in MP01.
You have to configure MPN Profile in SPRO > MM > Purchasing > Material Master > Define Manufacturer Part Profile
Here activate "MPN Mandatory" and rest all as per your requirement.

Planned deliv. time in material and vendor master.

Hi,
in material and vendor master there is the field "Planned deliv. time".
How are these hierarchical organized?
Best regards

Hi
Planned Delivery Time are maintained in 3 places
1)In Material Master, MRP 2 View
2)In Vendor Master, Purchasing Data View
3) In Info Record, Purchasing Org View
Actually, In Vendoe master what Pln.Del.Time you are giving is common for all the material supplied by the vendor....
In Material Master, MRP View what you are maintaining....based on this thing only, the "Replinshment Lead Time" of MRP Planning is calculated...( RLT is nothing but PR Processing time + Planned delivery Time + GR Processing time)
In Info Record What you are maintaining, it will be copied to PO
Rewrd if useful

Muliple inspection plan for same material and same usage

Hi,
I need to create multiple inspection plans for same material with same usage.during the inspection lot creation i need to select any one inspection plan.
In standard SAP its not possible.Any user exits available for this..
Regards,
S.P.Selvathangam

Dear Selvathangam Palanisamy ,
My Dear Shayamal is absolutely correct and we are corrently using this SAP facility. You can create 'N' number of inspectio plans for a material and then whenever the inspection lot will created ( Thru a process order or Manual) then you will get the Inspection Lot Status 'CRTD' (Created mode) then you have to select your Inspection Task list manually by two way...
Either go to QA02 and then select it from the list of multiple plans.
Or you can directly go from QA32 ...select your inspection lot row and directly click on the Inspection Lot icon to go directly to the inspection lot window to slect the Task list.
Further there is no need to remove the Automatic Assignment from the QM View of the Material Master as if there is only one task List then system will automatically assign the TASK LIST, if you deselect it then you have to select in every case.
Thanks

Planned Independant Requirement by Customer and Material

Hi,
Is there a way to input the Planned Independant requestments by Customer and Material? So far, what I know is that it can be done by product or product group. Pls advise.
Thanks.
Rgds,
Sue

Hi Kalidas,
Thanks for the info.
What I am trying to do is to input customer forecast by material and customer. This is to enable me to compare the customer forecast and actual orders by customers in the future rather than just by material. This is so I will know whether the particular customer actually ordered what they have forecasted. I have tried using info structures but it is too difficult and not feasible for the particular case. Is there any standard SAP functionality that can do this since based on what you said PIR is not possible.
Thanks so much.

Material and representative material in PCA

Hello all,
I have an issue concerning material numbers in Profit Center Accounting. My aim is to be able to report on material group (attribute on 0MATERIAL) in BW for both plan and actuals.
In R/3 PCA they plan on field "representative material". Furthermore they post actuals on "material" field.
Extractor 0EC_PCA_1 brings all postings (plan + actuals) to BW, but does not include the "material" field. It only includes the "representative material" field, so I'm missing the possiblity to see the actuals per material number.
Extractor 0EC_PCA_3 brings all actual postings to BW and includes the "material number". However the representative field is not filled (since this is only actuals)
So I get what I need into BW, but in two different extractors (and also on two different aggregation levels).
I somehow need to merge the information of these two extractors. Is it a multi cube I should use here? Or should I rather try to modify 0EC_PCA_1 by adding the material number in an append structure? I actually tried this, but I still couldn't find the new field in the extractor. So I guess this is not possible here and that I have to go for the multi cube solution?
I need to get both the "representative material" and the "material" into info object "0MATERIAL" since the material group is an attribute of that. Could this work if I modify the update rules in cube 0PCA_C01 (this is filled with records from 0EC_PCA_1) so that repr. material points at 0MATERIAL (for plan values) and at the same time use cube 0PCA_C03 (this is filled with records from 0EC_PCA_3) which uses 0MATERIAL as standard (for the actuals).
I'd be extremely thankful for some ideas/help...
Thanks in advance!
best regards,
Fredrik

Hi Fredrik,
Some questions:
Is there a 1 on 1 relation between repr. mat. and material?
Do you have PCA_1 as Totals or Line Items?
If you want to report on material group you somewhere have to have a relation between repr. material and mat. group.
Of course you can always map the rep. into 0MATERIAL, but you MD has to be correct too.
And: Adding in PCA extractors is difficult!

For report with material and workcenter

my client reqd a report for the materials plan order and production generate for the period with respective week in specific workcenter.

Hi,
Before developing customized report please check with std. report COOIS.
First give input as List = order Header , profile, select Production order check box alone & workcenter/plant/date & excute .
Then try with planned order check Box ,
This will give sepearte list for Both production & plant order.
u can use change layout option to design report output as u need
