Cross-client material transfer with conversion.

Hi....
         I have a problem to solve....i am supposed to transfer material data from client 040 to 041 with conversions. I am thinking to do it by ALE. what conversions i am supposed to perform is not yet decided by project manager so as ALE is not very flexibe in certain areas...is it worthy to use ALE and what would be another way to carry out this task... please help me in this  problem...any article  or suggestion will be great help of mine....thanking you,,,,

Hi!
? Strange. At least not easy. Do you speak about a development system? Maybe you just make a client copy and some hard database changes. Won't be OK, but if you just need some data for a performance test, this could do.
Test for a migration? Try to stay as close to the final way as possible.
You might save the outbound IDOC into a file, make some search and replace (in easy cases even in an editor) and upload the file for inbound IDOC. Also a report for file conversion can be used.
User-exits for IDOC segment changes might be possible, but doesn't look like a good idea (one-time special rules, but coding for all the time and everywhere).
Direct table copy is out of scope (e.g. because of internal number ranges).
LSMW might be an option, too. As input file you could again use outbound IDOC saved as file (with conversions?). Then inbound conversion would be in a transparent and easy to maintain way.
Hope you got some new ideas,
regards,
Christian

    Kindly help to solve the issue
    Thanks & Regards,

    Dear Wasim,
    321 movement is to transfer the stock of a material lying in quality to unrestricted stock.
    It's not used for material to material transfer.
    Check and revert back.

  • Cross-client activation issue with LBWE

    Hi,
    I am running into the same problem as the following links:
    Problem with setup table fillup
    Cross-client problem
    We have the configuration client 300 and the loading client 310. The structures in client 100 are active but are inactive in client 310. The first link says that I have to go into LBWE in the loading client to activate the structures, but I have the same issue relating to the second link. This is happening in the DEV system.
    Is the fix for the second issue relating to Basis who would allow me to do the activation on the loading client - opening the system for me to activate? Or is it the Developer's issue to find the workaround?
    I don't see why the restriction on the configuration for DEV client systems. This is for BW related Configuration issues and nothing is relating to SAP Business Configuration that had to be so restricted.
    Please advise how to get the inactive structures to be active in the loading client.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    It is a very common issue.  You can solve it by logging in to 310 client, going to SCC1 transaction and replicating changes from the transport orders that you created in the other DEV client.
    It's like transporting from one DEV client to the other, but please note that the request does not need to be released.
    I hope this helps.

  • Cross-company stock transfer with delivery function!

    Dear friends:
          I have a problem to borther u,I create stock transfer order with type 'NB',and then create delivery by T-CODE:VL10B with reference to the transfer order,but the log show the following error message:
       1030000484 000010 Sales unit  is not valid for item 000010
       Diagnosis
        The sales unit is not allowed for the material in item
        000010.
    System Response
        The system does not allow further processing of this item.
    Procedure
        Check your entry.
        Select a sales unit which is defined for the material in the
        material master record. Normally the sales unit will be
        determined immediately from the master master record.
    I really don't know how to deal it.
    thanks.

    UOM is in which stocks of the material are managed. The system converts all the quantities you enter in other units of measure to the base unit of measure.
    In the material master [MM02] check as to what is the base unit of measurement in the Sales Org1 tab and Purchasing tab. It seems that both these would be different as the system is not able to convert the UOM from Purchsing unit to the sales unit.
    Next, click the button for 'Additional data' [CTRL+F6], tab Unit of measure and enter the conversion for the UOM.

  • Cross-Company Stock Transfer with Delivery and Billing

    Hello Fellow Experts and Friends,
    I have a situation at a client in California. The client does Make-to-Order sales. The only materials kept in inventory are raw materials and NREs. This client has plants in several countries around the world but only two are on SAP. The current version is 4.6C.
    The scenario goes like this. The plant in China (CC: 2020, Plnt: 0020) wants to order raw materials from the US plant (CC: 1010, Plnt: 0010). If the US plant does not have enough stock in inventory, an order needs to be placed with a local vendor. When all materials a re available to ship,we need to deliver to and invoice the China plant. Additionally, shipment notification needs to be sent to the plant in China.
    IWould someone please be so kind as to helpme with a "Best Practice" process flow for Cross-Company STO with Delivery and Billing? I also need guidlines for customizing the process in the IMG. This process must include issuing a PO to a local vendor for ordering additional inventory. For the shipment notification, I was thinking of an EDI Advance Shipment Notice if the receiving plant uses EDI. I need a different option, If the receiving palnt does not use EDI.
    I am open to your suggestions.
    Thanks,
    AJ

    Arthur,
    Once this is correctly set up it works very, very well.  And the cross-company supply scenario is actually fairly simple, streamlined and automated.  However, this is NOT such a simple process to set up.
    True cross-company supply, all the way through, requires a LOT of configuration which ties in SD, MM, FI, and EDI.  It uses "wrap-around" IDocs to do some of the cross-posting in other company codes.  There is also the issue of Intercompany markups, as well as Intercompany eliminations.
    There are LOTS of folks who do the painful process of the FULL Order to Cash in one company code, and the full Purchase to Pay in the other.  But this is NOT the right solution and requires almost twice as much transaction processing.
    Just for the Intercompany setup, start to finish, I've been working on a "cookbook" to set up all of the modules for almost 10 years now.  I've done it several times, at several companies and it works very well once it is all in place.  However, that cookbook document is about 100 pages long (config settings, IMG settings, master data requirements, EDI settings, etc.).
    Also, in your scenario you are talking about multi-sourcing parts from other locations.  All of the related MRP settings are a separate setup issue.
    What you are asking is WAYYYYyyy beyond the scope of forum posting.  So if your company or client could use some help, please feel free to contact me.

  • Material to Material Transfer with 309

    Hi all,
    I need to transfer the stock of one material to other , but the problem is both of them having different Base Unit of Measure.
    I put alternate unit of measurement in Material Master and tried to do 309, but again system is not allowing to transfer.
    Is there any other way to transfer it?
    I can't go for reversal of all GRs and Production Orders.
    Regards
    Purnesh Sharma

    Hi,
    This is a rough work around,
    01.
    As you donot want to cancel all the Gr's and PO, take approval from management ( as it hits accounting entries) and scrap the first materials or issue the material to a dummy cost center.
    Then upload the stock of second material with same quantity with 561, 501 or 552
    02. If the second material is not having stock , and not having open items , if you feel no problem in changing the Base UOM, then you can think that option also.
    Thanks & Regards,

    Nabil

    Hi,
    Please note for movement 309 the base unit of measure that is stock keeping unit for sending and receiving material should be same
    and the both material should be managed in price control "V" Moving average price
    You can use LSMW , Refer few threads below

  • What is meant by cross client

    hai
        waht is meant by cross client while defining new table?
    hav a nice time

    Hi,
    The changes that you make in the ABAP Workbench are placed in the Repository tables of the SAP database. The contents of these tables are known as Repository data or Repository objects. Apart from a few exceptions, the Repository data is cross-client. As with cross-client Customizing, changes to Repository objects affect all clients of an SAP System
    Tables which are having MANDT field is called as client dependent tables. Tables which are not having MANDT field is called as client dependent tables.
    Client independent
    a table/object that is valid for all clients in a system. E.g table SCC4. This table will be the same no matter which client you view it from. If you try to make changes in SCC4, you'll get a popup with a warning that the table is cross client.
    Client dependent
    a table/object that is only valid for the client it is changed in. E.g the user tables USR*. You have to create users in each client.
    Hope it helps. Please reward if useful.
    Thanks & Regards

  • Material to material stock transfer with batch management and scrap

    Hello
    Here i have an requirement that
    Raw Material  A maintained in Batches. Raw Material B is also maintained in batches. A and B  are used in two different finished products.A and B are with the same material properties except the size. that is  Size of  B is half of A.
    Now some times if B material is not readily available in the stores then A is cut into two halves and then material to material Transfer posting need to be carried out.
    Now while cutting A into two pieces there may be chances of scrap .so how to address the scrap in SAP.
    How to map this Scenario in SAP

    Dear,
    Would like to suggest the following: Basing on your client requirements and existing business scenarios following, not sure how far will be suits this.
    Since both materials are same except the size,
    In case of shortage of material B, material A used by cutting its size in to half.
    In this case, issue material A to production cost center as it is (i.e in its original size). Using movement type 201.
    Once transferred to production, can carry out the cutting in half and here consider the scrap and post the scrap using 551 Q movement.
    I think no need for transfer material to material in this case.

  • Cross Company Stock Transfer- Please check excise base for the item is zero

    Hi,
    My scenario is Cross company Stock transfer (Two different Company Codes)
    I have done following steps :
    1.Create Purchase Order
    2.Create Outbound Delivery for Purchase Order
    3.Post Goods Issue for Delivery
    4.Creating Billing Document
    5.Creating Excise Invoice
    6.Printing of Excise Invoice
    7.Post Goods Receipt for Stock Transport Order
    Till MIGO there is no problem.
    I am getting a errro while doing MIGO with reference to Outbound Delivery, when I enter Excise Invoice created in sending plant, I am getting error as
    "Please check excise base for the item is zero" - Message no. 4F121
    Excise Duty values are flowing as per the excise invoice but system make base value as 0 , I have maintained Assesable value in J1ID also. We are using TAXINN.
    Pl. help
    Thanks
    Vikas

    Hi
    The best way to slolve this problem, Now is to maintain Assable value in Material Master For reciving Plant.
    Hear you can maintain all the chapter id, register A or C, etc
    and then try doing GR,
    The other way and the permanent solution is
    VPRS or equivalent
    Condition class B Prices
    Calculat.type C Quantity
    Condit.category  H
    Cond.control H Condition value fixed
    Condit.origin A Automatic pricing
    In this Condition category is most important and by this only system copies the base amount for excise duty calculation in MIGO or J1IEX.

  • Issues on cross-company stock transfer triggered by sales order

    Hi, friends:
      As our business process required, we need to make the cross-company sale between to plants under two company codes.
      The business process required is different from standard inter-company billing in SAP SD module. Our business process is as follows:
       sales order --> PR --> PO --> cross-company stock transfer --> delivery to customer --> billing.
      However, there is a difficulty in this process of make-to-stock production method. When we use schedule line item in SO to trigger the PO, there is a must to assign "account assignment category" in PO. This indicator is unchangable in PO by manual. When post goods recepit against the PO, there is no stock quantity udpate in un-restricted stock. By the way,  I selected "C" in the "account assignment category" of schedule line item cofiguration.
      Checked the MM documents, I found it seemed like only two results of PGR against PO with account assignment category. One result of PGR is directly consumpted by receiptent or unloading point. The other result of PGR is updating sepecial stock. For example, I've fullfilled the process for make-to-order production method, the stocks are specified for sales order.
      In our requiremnt, we have to post to normal un-restricted stock for the following ATP in sales order.
      Could any friend give some suggestion on this issue?
      Thanks!
    Justin

    Hi, Venkadesh:
      I've checked the Purchasing view and quantity/value update in both plants of different company codes. That's correctly configured.
      In the business process, the quantity in normal un-restricted stock updating still doesn't work.
      Do you mean that as follows: if select any indicator in  "account assignment category", we have to use UNBW or NLAG material type in the purchase order?
      I have successfully fullfilled the process in make-to-order sales order, with material type FERT and account assignment category "E". The account assignmnet categroy is obligatory in sales order schedlue line item configuration, which is to trigger PO by SO. The configuration path is as below:
      IMG>Sales and Distribution>Sales>Sales Documents>Schedule Lines-->Define Schedule Line Categories
      If possible, would make a test in your system to check how to fullfill the process with make-to-stock sales order, FERT material?
      Thanks!
    Justin
