Cost-Roll take follow-up material upon discontinuation effective-out date ?

Dear Expert,
If we use discontinuation/follow-up material, during Cost-Roll (CK11N), SAP will take default cost from discontinued material even if follow-up material is effective. 
<b>How to make SAP take cost of follow-up material after/on effective-out date ?</b>
<b>Example :</b>
Parent "A" contains component "B" qty 3, to be follow-up with component "C" upon discontinuation of "B" on effective-out dated 1st Nov'07, and like-wise to take std cost of "B' before 1st Nov'07 cost-roll.
Thus, when I roll cost in December, I hope SAP would calculate for std cost of A to include std cost of "C" (for cost-roll after 1st Nov'07).
<b>Setting :</b>
<u>Material Master of "B" MRP4 view :</u>
- Discontinuation Indicator = 1
- Effective-out date = 1st Nov'07
- Follow-up Material = "C"
<u>BOM of Parent "A" :</u>
- Component "B" indicate discontinuation group "A1"
- Add component "C" and indicate follow-up group "A1".
<b>Thanks for your guidance !</b>

Hello,
We are having the same issue: is a BOM for costing the only way to handle this ? Controlling dept. here fear they wouldn't be maintained as accurately as the production ones (and they are right). We were also thinking to set the phased out materials (B in your example) as cost irrelevant when you add to new material in the BOM...and start costing the father (A in your example) directly with the new component. I would appreciate a lot to hear other examples of dealing with this issue if anybody has.
Thanks a lot,
Olivier

  • Same discontinue and follow up material?

    I have used before this function having a follow up material with indicator 1 and effective-out date. However, this time I have 3 materials A, B, C.
    The logic I want to use is the following but I'm not sure if SAP supports this:
    A = discontinue material and B = Follow-up material. Using indicator 1
    B = discontinue material and C = Follow -up material. Using indicator 1.
    So far, SAP is not allowing me to have B as discontinue and follow-up material at the same time. Any insights?
    Thanks for your help.

    Hi Lee,
    If you try to set the discontinuation for a follow-up material, then error message "Message no. 61224 -Multi Level Discontinuation not suported" will be generated when you try to run MRP. Refer Note 398238 - Error message 61224 for parts provided
    For more information on Discontinuation data, refer Concept of Discontinuation Data - Material Master and BOM

  • Discontinued part and follow up material

    Dear Guru,
    How to use discontinued and follow up material with effective date. I am using MTS Scenario.
    Please help.
    Regards,
    Sanjay Sahoo

    Hi Sanjay,
    refer to the below link, it should answer your query:
    Re: Discontinuation Indicator - Need Guidance
    In addition to the above details:
    In material master for the material which is being discontinued, in MRP-4 view you need to maintain discontinuation indicator, effective-out date & Follow-up material.
    If you need any additional info, revert.

  • Full BOM component qty when follow-up material is effected.

    Dear Experts,
             How to ensure discontinuation / follow-up is implemented on FULL BOM's
             component qty, and not partial.
              Example : A requires 3B, and B is follow-up with C upon discontinuation.
                             Planned order of A should only contain 3B or 3C, not mixture eg. 1B
                             and 2C etc.
              How can the control be implemented ?

    Dear Pradeep, Rajesha & all,
          Assume BOM of "A" indicates component B qty 10 is follow-up with component C qty 10.
          Material B (say, balance 1 qty) is received into Store Y (MRP Relevant). Thus to exclude material B from MRP, we have to manually transfer stock to store X (Not MRP Relevant).
          This would mean, we have to perform manual tracking such that this store transfer is done, to force SAP to direct to material C, so that we either accept 10B or 10C in planned order and nothing else.
         Not forgetting, I could have another follow-up in another bom such that 1B = 1C. Thus, the material 1B I transfered to store X (Not MRP relevant) can actually be use in this case.
    <b>    Thus, from BOM explosion, is there a way to control discontontinuation to follow-up, based on full component qty specified in BOM ?</b>
    <u><b>My Setting as follows :</b></u>
    <b>(1)</b> Material Master of "B" : MRP4 specify (a) Discontinuation Indicator "1", (b) effective-out date, (c) Follow-up material "C"
    <b>(2)</b> In Bom of "A" (parent of "B") :
    - Item "B", indicate discontinuation group "A1"
    - Create item "C" and indicate follow-up group "A1" and qty to be follow-up upon B discontinuation.
    Thank you for your guidance !

  • Process Order is not picking the follow-up material

    Hi Gurus,
    We have changed a BOM by discontinuing a component and giving a follow-up material with the valid from dates as 18/5/09.  and then MRP is run on that nignt  ( mrp job set to run daily in the back ground). and on 19/05/09 a Process Order is created from the planned orders genereated by the MRP run.
    now, we found that the new componenet (follow-up) is not copied into the process order, but the old compomemt (discontinued) is removed. 
    MRP parameters are correctly defined (Planning mode is set to 2) .  Please let me know if we are missing anything.
    Thanks,
    N

    Hi
    Pl ensure that the Following requirements have been met before you can use the discontinuation functionality:
    1) Both materials must be planned using MRP.
    2) The base unit of measure of the follow-up material must be the same as the base unit of measure of the discontinued material.
    3) You must enter discontinuation data for the discontinued item and follow-up data for the follow-up item.
    and Also refer the SAP link for Complete Details

  • Material Master Update through BAPI - Follow up material not updated

    Hi Experts,
    I am updating the material master through a custom transaction using the BAPI  'BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA'. Rest of the fields are updating correctly except for discontinuation ind., effective out date & follow-up material.
    When I try to update it through MM02 it is working fine. However, when I pass the same data through BAPI it is throwing an error message that 'the material XXXXXX does not exist or is not activated'.
    Please advice.
    Thanks & Regards,

    Some more fields need to be updated along with the discont. indicator. Now working fine.

  • Follow up Material (different BUoM)

    Dear Experts,
    We have a discontinuation setup here.  The PM1 will be replaced by PM2.  PM1 (sticker) has PCE as BUoM, while PM2 (Tape) has ROL in BUoM.   I tried putting the material as Followup, but system would not allow since they both have different BUoM. 
    Please help.  Thanks!

    Dear,
    The base unit of measure of the follow-up material is the same as the base unit of measure of the discontinued material.
    But try this:
    You can use follow-up setting (set PM2 as follow-up of PM1 in MRP 4 view of material master if this follow-up scenario is valid for all BOM) with discontinuation indicator '1', w/o effective-out date. In this case PM1's stock will run out (no PldOrd, PR, etc) will be created, and from the date, when PM1's stock runs out, MRP will calculate with PM2.
    As I told you, according to my best knowledge, you cannot realize this with different base unit of measures. (you have to change the BUOM of one of the related material masters or create a new material master if you cannot cope with BUOM-change).
    Check this and revert back.

  • Follow up material - old material's stock goes down and up

    Hello,
    I have a question related to Follow up material. Lets assume that material A is to be replaced by material B, this is specified in the MRP4 view. In the field Eff.-Out an estimate of when the last unit of material A will be received is given in.
    If material A's stock drops down to 0 then material B should kick in, but what happends if afterwards material A's stock goes up again and then both material A and B are in stock. Will SAP notice material A's stock level and use it?
    Please advice! Thanks!

    If you don't know the "Effective-Out Date" (MARC-AUSDT) [because your stock situation is always changing), don't define it in material master. System will try to ramp down the stock of old material first and use the new one after that.
    However, you should take measures to prevent increasing the stock from the old material. In the system you can block it for purchasing as it was told you already.

  • Follow up material with different base unit of measure

    Hi all,
    I have the BOM with material Mat1 as a component. The base unit of measure of Mat1 is KG.
    Is it possible to replace Mat1 with Mat 2 material in MRP once the Mat1 warehouse stock is depleted.
    The base unit of measure of Mat 2 is KGK.
    The required quantity of MAT1 should be recalculated from KG to KGK accordanly unit ratio.
    Please, expain, where does it maintain?
    Thanks,
    Peter

    Hello Peter,
    You can use follow-up setting (set Mat2 as follow-up of Mat1 in MRP 4 view of material master if this follow-up scenario is valid for all BOM) with discontinuation indicator '1', w/o effective-out date. In this case Mat1's stock will run out (no PldOrd, PR, etc) will be created, and from the date, when Mat1's stock runs out, MRP will calculate with Mat2.
    As I told you, according to my best knowledge, you cannot realize this with different base unit of measures. (you have to change the buom of one of the related material masters or create a new material master if you cannot cope with buom-change).
    Follow-up group scenario can also be used but I guess different buoms will be a problem in that case as well.
    Maybe there are better solution but I'm not aware of it...

  • Costing Lot size in Master Material

    Hi All,
    May i know any settings for default the Costing Lot Size follow by material type?
    Example:
    Material A  - Type is ZFIN - So after i upload material into MM the Costing Lot Size will auto prompt 10,000
    Material B -  Type is ZPAC - So after i upload material into MM the Costing Lot Size will auto prompt 1,000
    Thank You.

    Hi,
    There is not setting or Config to set Material Type wise Costing Lot size.
    System will read the data from MARC-MARC while running the standard cost estimate as per the standard process of SAP-Costing.

  • CK11N  Follow-up material not taken into account when costing

    We are running the standard cost with quantity structure and we have detected that all the follow-up information is not taken into account to determine the bill of materials that will be used to calculate the standard cost.
    SAP helpdesk has answered me the following:
    "The situation in product cost planning is we do not check availability of any material stocks, and therefore we cannot provide the same functionality as MRP. You will have to create a new BOM that includes
    the follow-up material or apply the modification to take into account the follow-up part."
    Please, if anyone knows any user-exit we could use to develop something to fix it, we would appreciate it very much. It is a normal process and we can not say it does not work.
    Regards, and waiting for any solution.
    Yolanda.

    Dear,
    Are you getting these reservation in MD04?
    Check the Planning file entry for these material in MD21 if not then create it through MD20 and take MRP run with planning mode -3 Deleted and recreated. And Processing key NETCH.
    Also check the The firmed receipt is within the rescheduling horizon. The rescheduling horizon is set in Customizing for the MRP group (Transaction OPPR, Table T438M). A default value can be predefined in the Customizing of plant data (Transaction OPPQ, Table T399D). define the longer duration for it.
    The firmed receipt (the MRP element) participates in the rescheduling check. You can set which MRP elements participate in the rescheduling check in the Customizing of the plant data (Transaction OPPQ).
    Else you can carry out modification A using the MD_CHANGE_MRP_DATA BAdI and the CONSIDER_RESB method without making a modification.

  • Discontinuation indicator and follow up material.

    Hi,
    I am facing the strange issue for which i need your expertise. The requirement is like:
    1. "X" material is discontinued and "Y" is as follow-up in two plants A & B. Discontinaution group and follow-up group has also been assigned in the BOM.
    2. Now The client want to reverse the settings . means "Y" should be discontinued and "X" should be follow-up in both plants A & B.
    Now I have removed the discontinuation indicator and follow up material from "X" in both plants. But when I am going to discontinue the "Y" material and putting " X" as a follow-up material, The system is giving the message "The specified follow-up material results in recursiveness
    Message no. M3609
    Diagnosis
    You have entered a follow-up material. However, the BOM explosion for the follow-up material leads to the discontinued material, resulting in unpermissible recursiveness.
    Procedure
    Enter another follow-up material or cancel the entry.
    Please suggest me where I am missing in my settings and what is the reason for this message.
    Regards
    Deepak Sharma

    Dear ,
    Check the following  :
    1.Validity of the Bill Of Material or any deletion flag is set in the present BOM.
    2.Please check the following SAP notes :
    Note 161742 - Consulting note: BOM recursion/low-level code 999
    Note 839879 - Trace 'BOM is recursive'
    Note 139517 - Recursiveness for follow-up materials
    Note 42891 - Recursiveness check
    Hope this will help you to figure it out

  • What will happen if don't set follow-up material in material mas view MRP4

    Client get the information that some materials will not manifacture until one date. After this date, client want this material can't create BOM or PO anymore.
    I gave solution for set delete flag for this material so that when create BOM or PO error happens.
    But client want to use discontinue material in material master view MRP4, so that he can enter the last date when this material is out of use.
    Will discontinue material in material master view MRP4 can meet this requirement? enter discontinuation indicator and date then after this date will not create BOM or PO.

    As per my understanding discontinuation is related only to MRP (how system handles requirements).
    http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/b1/c044d1439a11d189410000e829fbbd/frameset.htm
    If you want to disallow the creation of BOM / PrdOrd / etc, you have to apply to the suggested material status control or to your own solution (marking the material for deletion), etc.
    n my opinion discontinuation makes sense if the real situation is also discontinuation (you have a real follow-up material). In this case you can use it to manage the requirements properly.

  • Alternative item with follow-up material

    Hi,
    I have a finished product X for that component A-1 pc and B-1 pc is required.
    Now A cannot be used in next year thatu2019s why my client wants 1) to issue 2 pcs of A instead of A-1pc and B-1 pc until the stock of A is available. 2) If the stock for A is not available then only it goes for B.
    1) I have used alternative item grp with priority: 1, strategy : 2, usage probability 200% for A and priority: 2, strategy : 1, usage probability 0%  for B
    System issues 2 pc of A only
    2) Also maintained follow up material as B so if there is any shortage for A then system is looking for B.
    Problem is with the above setting the follow up material and alternative item is not working together.  System issues only 1 pc of A if I maintained B as follow up material. If I maintain only alternate item then it issues 2 pc of A but at the same time it will not check B if any shortage occur.
    Pls help.

    You can only define discontinuation data for a stock item or variable-size item that is not assigned to an alternative item group.
