Creation of Material's PLANT Configuration

Hi Gurus!
i'm trying to find a way to CREATE MATERIAL CONFIGURATION for PLANT level (MARC-STDPD field + configuration)
i found MATERIAL_SAVE_CONFIGURATION and i can use it to UPDATE an existing configuration, but i cannot find how to CREATE a new one.
Any suggestion?

i also followed the guide from http://scn.sap.com/thread/3247039 but i got no configuration setted

Hi,
it looks like it's not possible to call this BAPI wihtout material number. Here is a quote from BAPI documentation.
When creating material master data, you must transfer the material
number, the material type, and the industry sector to the method. You
must also enter a material description and its language.
Cheers

Transfer of Configurable material from Plant 1 to plant 2

Hi expert,
We have two plants. In plant 1 we manufacture the material that is configurable, We want to transfer that material to plant 2 and sell it without running the MRP and costing it is as good as procured externally. It is possible to sell the material in plant without MRP run and also we have changed the valuation class from 7010 to 3000, checked the do not cost indicator. But it is not
allowing us for delivery , the error we get is " Create delivery not allowed (Sys. status Cost, Object VB018004407000010)
Is it related to costing? We don't want to cost it. Please help us to fix this.
Thanks & regards

hi,
I think you can do this, just transfer your ZTABLE to the client 2 and use SE09 to transfer
But do you want to append the contents into client 2 or transfer a new ZTable
If you just want to append I dont think its possible

Creation of Sale Order for configurable material with availability check.

Hi,
We have a scenario in which the material is configurable. The configurable material (X) has few variants (Ex: X1, X2, X3, X4, X5). While booking the sale order, we use the material number (X).
Further, the material planning is done for the variants X1, X2, X3, X4, X5. The standard variants are planned for production in advance.
1.     While booking the sale order, we want the availability check of the stock (type matching to happen). What needs to be done in configuration?
2.     While booking the sale order, there is a possibility that the configuration selected will not match with any of the standard variants due to some additional requirements of the optional features, in such cases how to link the standard variants to the sale order & create requirement for additional requirements.

Hi Umesh,
           1.Create material master for configurable material and variants in mm01.
           2.Maintain BOM for the configurable material in CS01
           3. Configur the variant configuration steps
              a. Create charecteristics T.code CT04
              b. Create values and assign classes
              c. assign the values to charecteristics
              d . Maitain dependence T.code CU01
              e.create configuration profile t.code CU41
              f.stimulate the configuration profile.
4. Do the availability check configuration through this path
IMG --> Sales and distribution > Basic functions ,> Availabilty check and Transfer of requirements.
5. Maintain the Availbility check field and MRP views in the material masters other wise you sit with PP people and do that
I hope it will help you

Batch for material in plant already exists

Hi ,
When create a goods reciept for material ABBBBB in plant X001 and sloc 0001 for the first time in a day , system automatically creates a batch number .
When I try to create a goods reciept for the same material in same plant/sloc combination , system gives me an message "Batch for the material already exists in plant " . and it stops me from going to enter values for characteristics .
But system creates a batch automatically when I recieve the same material into same plant with different sloc .
Can anyone suggest me the config or userexit so that system allows me to create a batch with a warning message .
Thanks ,

HI
When u r creating batch from MSC1N, u r maintaing for combination of material, batch, plant, storage location. So with this combination u find already existing batch when u enter same material again for plant and sto location combination.
Now when u change the storage location it is creating new batch as it is not there for different combination.
Also you can check configuration in Img -- Log general -- batch management --Creation of new batches -- Creation for Goods movement.
Here u can selct option for particular movement type.
Hope this will solve ur problem in this regard
Reward if u find it helpful

No creation if material is missing, Still IW31 ( Work order ) is getting created

Hi Experts,
I reviewed few discussions and unable to get the correct answer.
I did the configuration for Material availability check on Order Creation with Path ..
Plant Maintenance and Customer Service - Maintenance and Service Processing - Functions and Settings for Order Types - Availability Check for Material, PRTs, and Capacities - Define Inspection Control
In this I assigned my order type with Business Function 1.
Material Availability :
        Plant                      XX01
       Order Type            XX09
       Availability Check    1    Check availability during order creation
       Checking Rule        01 No Blocked Stocked - All rec/issue elmts
       Component Check Type    Blank
       Collect. conversion 3 No creation if material is missing
PRT Availability :
          No Check ( Not checked )
           Checking Rule        01 Status check
           Collect. conversion Blank
Capacity check
          No Check ( Not checked )
          Overall profile Blank
          Collect. conversion Blank
My question is:
MMBE for that Material ZERO.
Before Config,
   when I create Order manually IW31 with a components , Status is showing Mat.availability not checked ( MANC ).
After Config.
   when I create Order manually IW31 with a components , Status is showing     Material committed MACM.
When Configured for [Collect. conversion 3 No creation if material is missing], still order is getting created.
I changed to 2 or 1 , still order is getting created with no difference
But its going to a confirmation proposals asking me to do
either continue / ATP quantity / Scope of check.
If I select 1 or 2, it should show Missing Parts status or if select 3, it should stop creation of Order. But its not happening as expected.
Please let me know where I am missing Config.

Hello
Q1 )
If I change option 1 or 2 :
1 User decides on creation if material is missing
Answer:If Material is not Created the system wont allow to add you that material until unless you create the material master created.I am considering here that you don't have material master
2 Creation even though no material is available
Answer:It will allow you to create the work order.i am considering here that you don't have sufficient stock.
Q2) what should be the expected Status for Option 1 or 2.
Before Config it was showing
Status is showing Mat.availability not checked ( MANC ).
After Option 1 or 2, Expected Status ?
Answer: You need to enter value 02 on the Availability Check field on the MRP3 tab of Material Master via TC MM02.
you will be get Material committed MACM after Saving the Order.

Outbound delivery allows only the unrestricted stock for particular material and plant

Hi,
In STO I have an problem the outbound delivery creations allows all stocks under unrestricted, Quality inspection, Block stock.
I want the outbound delivery creation of a particular material and plant it allows only the stock under the unrestricted only. It doesn't allows the stocks under the Quality inspection and Block stocks.
I need to know how to configure this or how to solve my requirements.

Dear Mohammed ,
as per your scenario , there is two movement type has to trigger in the Delivery level according to the plant and material combination .
as per my knowledge it will not configurable in standard process . this will possible with user exit logic only .
follow the below logic to achieve your issue .
you have to create two item categories and two schedule lines with (655 &653) , that means your movement type has to trigger at sales order level only . write a logic in the user exit - MV45AFZZ -USEREXIT_MOVE_FIELD_TO_VBAP , if this combination matches then automatically item category has to over write other wise it will copy the existing item category .at delivery level you can see two movement types in item level.
wait for other experts solution , if any standard is possible or not .

I have configured a new plant in Sandbox server for testing purpose. Have done all required settings as under:
- New Plant configured
- Complete Excise related configuration done in Logistics General-> Tax on Goods Movement

- Material and vendor excise details maintained properly in J1ID
I guess I have missed excise related config somewhere in SPRO
please help !

Hi,
#Did you have Separate Excise Registration Number for new plant! check & define in following path:

Consuming Material Having Variant Configuration

HI
We are using Variant Configuration for our semi finished product and its
batch managed.There are two plants in one plant say A and B. In A plant
we are using Variant configuration.The same material is stock transferred
to plant B and is further processed.
We are creating CIR in plant B. After taking MRP run we are converting
planned order to purchase requisition and subsequently Stock transfer
purchase order on Plant A. When the material is produced in plant A,it is
transferred to plant B on stock transfer order mentioned above. But the
material is against CIR in plant B. We remove the material from CIR
through 411E movement and system keep it as free stock in unrestricted.
Now when i am consuming this material for further processing in
production order of Material getting manufactured system is asking me for
Variant Characteristics.
System should not ask me variant characteristics once it has been removed
from CIR i.e. special stock.
Any Work around avilable.
Regards,
Anand.

Hi Anand,
Finally, I could understand your issue from your CSS message.
In your description, AA is configurable material in both plant A and plant B, BB is not a configurable material in plant B, AA is a component of material BB, so when you produce BB, there will be dependent requirement generated for AA from BB, now you want to use the stock of AA to fullfill the dependent requirement, however, the system will require you to enter the characteristic at that time.
Then where is the stock of AA comes from? I have mentioned this in my previous reply. But as I have mentioned it is not correct to have unristricted stock for the configurable material, therefore, your process to have free stock of AA is not correct.
Another point is that, your process to have configurable material as a component of a non-configurable material is also not proper.
For example, material BB is a Car, material AA is the Door of the Car, your Car is not configurable, but the Door is configurable, you may have green door and red door according to the configuration, but as your car is a firmed material then what's the meaning to have different door, if you want to have different door, then that means you also need to have different color of the car, like green door for green car, red door for red car, then that means your car should be also a configurable material to make you can select the color of the car too.
Or if your Car is a firmed material as green car, then do you think there is any meaning to configure the door of the car? Unless you do want a red door for a green car, but this can also be realized with a configurable car.
So normally, like your situation, you should use multi-level configuration structure to do the production in make to order scenario.
Therefore, still the problem has been described in my previous reply, no matter how you get the stock of AA, the AA is produced with the configured configuration module, so the stock of AA is also with the configuration data, then no matter how you want to consume the stock of AA, system will always ask for the characteristic of the requirement to compare it with the stock configuration to see if they are same.
For example, you are producing your Car, but as far as I can see you should have no place to configure the door in production order, therefore when you try to consume the door, the system will of course need to know which color you want, because if you want red door but there is only stock of green door, then how the system should do in your opinion?
Then finially, the best way of solving your issue is to have material variant for the configurable material, like the door, you may have material variant as green door and red door, if your firmed Car is green car, then you can use green door as the firmed component, if your firmed Car is red car, then you can use red door as the firmed component, also when you do the production, you could simply produce the green door directly without configure the door, because the material variant is a stockable item but the configurable material is not, then your scenario would be very simple and there will no such problem any more.
If you do still want to keep your scenario, but don't want the system requires you enter the charateristics, then you may have to do the modification of the goods movement transaction to disable that, but it may lead to the inconsistency situation, like actually you want red door, but what you have in stock is green door, without that, you may consume the green door stock for the red door requirement, then it will mess up all the following process.
Also as you are doing the goods movement in MM transaction, so if there is user-exit could be used to change this behavior is decided by MM function, however, base on my checking there will be no such user-exit to control this behavior at MM side, because the consequnce is really dangerous for the system operation.
Therefore, I think the best way for you is still adjust your production scenario to make your production standard, then SAP system will accept that standard production scenario under your requirement.
Thanks and regards,
Rachel

Automatic creation of Material Master at the time raising the PO !!!

Hello All,
I am stuck in a scenario of our client which should be implemented (or mapped) in SAP.
Scenario: At the time of creating the PO (in there legacy system -in house developed) they can choose the items from the existing master data or/and they can also add a new item (which is not present in the master data records at the time of creating the PO).
Now as soon as the system realise that a new item is inserted into the PO, it will create that item record automatically in the backend (database) and the master data will be present from there on.
The items they are dealing with are all fashion accessories and they generate order on the following basis:
1. Demand of particular item in market.
2. List of items provided by the vendor.
3. Based on the requirement in there outlets.
So for them its very difficult to fix there master data records, as it can be changed daily or monthly as per the market conditions. At the same time every time they order, its almost around 100 different items (some time 80 of them are new) in a single PO so they cannot create 80 records manually each time.
These items are not consumable material so obviously they are maintaining the stock for them. They are also not going to use IS Retail.
I am not at all sure how can we map this particular practice in SAP, it would be really appreciated if any one could help me on this problem.
Please let me know if you need any other details from my side.

Hi,
As you have two different systems one in house developed and another SAP, and the PO creation part starts from Legasy system which creats the PO in SAP, you can do some development as per below
1: While Passing the details from legasy to SAP, use two columns in legasy one will contain the Material Code of ECC (for laready exist material ) and another for deescription of material.
2: In case material is new for which there is no material master in ECC pass only description from legasy systems.
3:While getting triggred from Legasy to ECC to create the PO, first check whehter all the material code exists or not in ECC.
4:If some material are not created (only description present) for those material first create the Material Code using BAPI 'BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA'.
5: Aftre creation of Material code create the PO using BAPI ' BAPI_PO_CREATE1'.
6:For the new created material , trnasfre the master record from ECC to Legasy systemso that next time user can see that material in your legasy system.

Hi Madhu,
Thanks for your reply. But, I have one more doubt. For non stock materials, we
will specify the cost centre and G/L account at the time of creation of Purchase order. Then, do we have to specify the valuation class at the time of creation of
Material Master since there is no automatic account determination?

MARA-GEWEI is not overtaken during creation of material from cdesk

Hi, we work in ENV SAP R3 4.71 and create material in background out from
cdesk.
Therefore we defined in the customizing of CAD Desktop that in case of
creation of material MARA-GEWEI determination type = constant and
determination parameter is "ST" for "piece"
Every other parameter works fine during creation of material ==> as soon as
we fill a weight into the corresponding fields SAP tells us a message
"ENTER the unit of weight for the net weight" ==> if you press "continue action then" SAP ends creation of material an nothing happens....
ANY ideas?
(will enter this message for sure as well into the oss....)

Hi Gerhard,
have u put
EXP_MARA-BRGEW           Gross weight
EXP_MARA-NTGEW            Net weight
from Inv side in config...
Also check in cdesk_cus under create material
<b>Base Unit of Measure               Constant     ST
Net Weight               File Attribute     Physical_Properties_MassValue</b>
hope this helps

User Exit to check whether chapter id for Material and Plant combination is maintained while creating sales order

Hello all,
my requirement is, system should give error message while creating sales order, if chapter ID is not maintained for a material and plant combination.
please suggest the user exit.

Hi
CASE 1 : All Plants are excisable.
In Material master , Foreign Trade data tab- mentioned Control code field mandatory. ( i.e nothing but Chapter ID)
CASE 2 : Few Plants are excisable
In the Case 2 you need to go for Enhancement
Program Name : MV45AFZB
User Exit: USEREXIT_CHECK_VBAP ( Item Level Check )
By using above user exit you write a logic with the help of ABAPer
Plant and Chapter ID combination table : J_1IMTCHID

Creation of Material Master for a material with Material Type NLAG

Hello Sirs,
I have to create a material which will be consumed directly. I would use the
material type NLAG (Non stock material). If I create a material with this material type, will it contain an Accounting view where in I can maintain the price of the
material? If it contains an Accounting view, which type of Price control should be
used (Moving average or Standard)? Further, can we maintain an info record for
a material with material type NLAG?How the price updation happens?
