Customization for Plant to Plant transfer

Hi Everybody !
There is a requirement saying that the system should request Incoming Certificate for the GR which is based on a Transfer Order(i.e. Plant to Plant transfer).
From the answers to my previous query I know that standard SAP does not supports this. So can anyone suggest any config change or ABAP developement which makes this possible ? Please give a detailed answer so that I can follow that and make this happen in my system.
Regards,
Manish.

As stated, the system doesn't support the COA requirement when your not treating the plant as a vendor.
1) Why are they requiring a COA anyway? There is no business benefit to that. In every client I've worked for we have done away with these. It was common practice at one time when plants had separate quality systems and business systems. But with all plants on one SAP system, data can be accessed for any plant. If the receiving plant needs to send out COA's they should be generated by SAP so there should be no need to have a hard-copy.
There is no ISO or GMP rule that these type of shipments require COA's. In fact, when all the plants are on the same system, they should discourage it.
2) if you really want to check for a COA, include the check as a pass/fail qualtitative characteristic as part of an 08 inspection lot.

Customization for Plant missing in table Plant settings

Hi CIN Experts,
The CIN setting are maintained for Plant and company. J1IIN, Excise invoice creation is OK for billing docs.
But the error is while using J1IIN for proforma invoice(Delivery based). Message no. 8I303.
Thank You.

Check this thread
[Re: Error during excise invoice creation|http://forums.sdn.sap.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1517554]
Else, go to IMG Logistics-General > Tax on Goods Movements > India > Basic Settings > Maintain Plant settings. There check whether you have maintained the plant code with the Excise Registration code. Most probably, the said error will also come if any setting is not done properly here.

Customization of Plant change for line items.

Hi ,
My requirement is to customize the plant determination for line items.
Is there any Function module or any code to ensure this functionality.
Please help.
Regards
Harish

Harish,
The standard functionality for determining the Plant for the line item comes from the Material master. The delivering plant filed that you have maintained in the Sales Org 1 View of the Material master.
If you want to have your own logic for determining the plant then you can write the User exit coding in the include MV45AFZZ form name "USEREXIT_MOVE_FIELD_TO_VBAP" .
Hope this helps you.
Let me know if you need any more information.

FI -Follow on Doc-Plant field not updated for Plant to Plant Tfr

Hi All,
For plant to plant stock transfer made with movement type 641- the receiving plant and supplying plant fields are not getting populated in the debit and credit line items respectively in the accounting document.
In FI the same G/L Account is getting debited and credited.So there is no meaning or information one is getting from FI. We have to go to MM and see the rec'ing and supplying plants.
Can anybody tell whether any specific customisation to be done for updating the plant fields in FI Accounting document.
Thanks in advance.

GTS Organization Structure for Plants in foreign countries

Hello,
I want to get an solution for the following task:
A German Company, represented with one Company Code in ECC, has about 40 Sales- and/or Productionplants all over the word. These plants do deliveries for german sales orders and projekts.
The related organization mapping ECC<->GTS is n:1 , means you can only set up one Foreign trade organization for at least one company code.
And you must set up Legal units for every plant you want to deliver from and set up the relation to the one FTO.
When using Export control you must set up different legal Regulation regarding to one FTO.
And this is the point, does anybody have experience with such a constellation? SAP itself is warning to do so in there trainings, but I think as long as SAP will not have a solution for plants in foreign countries have no other chance or do I have ?
Thanks for ideas in advance,
Barbara

Hi Sophie,
Just to make sure, i got your question.
1) You have 2 foreign trade organisations. 1 in Switzerland and 1 in Germany?
2) For some plants, you would like to export under Germany Foreign trade org.?
But why do you need to export frm German FTO for a Switz plant.
If what i stated above is right.
You can use a table maintained mapping those plants with the German company code. so, have a custom dev. done to transfer this particular company code for any SO,Del created from this plants.
So, the resulting Export document in GTS holds the german FTO.
Please do correct me if i had understood your req. wrongly.

Plant transfer with margin with different profit centers

Dear Experts,
We have a scenario wherein we manufacture the product at plant 100 and sell through plant 200.
As per new requirement, above plant transfer should be done with the margin.
Example:
Plant 100, product Std price: 1000
At the time of transfer to plant 200, product price should be 1500.
Rs. 500 will be the fixed margin for the year. next year it may change.
Plant 100, Prodcut price: 1000, profit center 101
Plant 200, product price 1500, profit center 201
Please guide me hoe to set up above case
Thanks

Hello Simi,
You can define a new condition type for the price at the second plant 200 (say ZP01 in the below screenshot) and maintain this condition type once in a year using MEK1. The condition class of this should be B - prices
Also, both plant 100 and 200 will need to have price control Standard at 1000 and 1500 respectively.
Now define a condition type(say Z000 in the screenshot below) and call it STO notional profit/margin ( I call this notional as you are gaining a profit from 'selling' to your own plant). This condition type should have condition class A -Discount/Surcharge
In the pricing procedure, assign subtotal E against condition type P101 (this standard condition type automatically picks Standard price in plant 100). Against ZP01, assign subtotal D.
Now against Z000 assign calculation type 12 (calculates ZP01 - P101). Against Z000, maintain an accrual key ZW1 (say) and assign this to an 'STO profit' G/L in OBYC.
Your postings in PGI should look as below in the 2nd screenshot. The profit centers in my case is the same, however, you can maintain different profit centers in Plant data 1 for the material in the 2 plants.

Plant to plant transfer in Q status

Hello,
Can someone please provide the steps to configure movement type to allow plant to plant transfer of stock with Q status? Can this be accomplished with custom movement type configuration or a user exit is available? Please advise.
Thanks,
avi

Hi Avi,
have you tried Transaction QAC2?
I think you should be able to move Plant stor. loc. to Plant stor. loc.
Edit: You will have to make sure that QM has been set up for the receiving plant as well.

Issue with Plant to Plant Transfer Mvt type 301

Hi,
I'm trying to do a Plant to Plant Transfer using MB1B/MIGO,mvt type 301, from a plant / Storage location which is NON HU managed to a plant / Storage location which is HU Managed, I'm getting this error,
Message No : VL296.
HU cannot be delivrd from plant XXX stor. loc. XXX to plant YYYY stor. loc YYYY
Has anyone come across this error ? Any solutions?
Many thanks
Feroz

Hi Feroz
In HU-managed storage locations, materials can be managed in HUs only. Mixed stock made up of packed and non-packed materials within the same storage location are not supported. HUs can also be managed in interim storage types.
if you want to use 311 to move the material already in stock, but in a non HUM Storage Location and you want to transfer those materials into a HUM Storage Location 304. If this is the case you can use the transaction VLMOVE with the destination plant and storage location. Before that you have to create the HU with the transaction code HU02 Storage location: where the material is and the status: in stock
please refer to the below link for additional details

Increase String Length for Plant Field (WERKS)

Hi SAP Gurus,
Good day!
My requirement is as follows:
1. I have around 20 companies with at least 50 "plants" per company
2. In my legacy system, I am using a 3-digit code to identify the unique "plants" within a particular company code
3. There are instances of similar entries for "plants" belonging to different company codes. For example, Company 1 has a plant 101 which is located in the northern part of the city while Company 2 also has a plant 101 but located on the souther part of the city
4. Upon migration to SAP, I am requiring that I will know that upon first glance of the plant field, I will know immediately which plant (Plant-Company code combination) I am referring to
The workaround that I thought of initially was to have the first digit of the plant code act as a prefix to identify the company code and then the last three digits mapped to the old naming convention. In our example in 3, the first plant can be A101 (A = company 1) and the other B101 (B=company 2)
However, due to the nature of my business, I am constantly creating new company codes...and that in less than 5 years time, I may already use up all the available prefixes (letters+numbers)
I am thinking if there is a way to expand the plant field to say 6 characters, although this will involve customization. I am not sure as well how this would affect the interdependencies for the enterprise structure since the plant is one of the fundamental units in SAP. Aside from the fact that customizing the plant field may have other effects on support packages that may need to be installed in the future.
Any suggestions?
BR,
Puck

Hi,
I understand your requirement but it is not at all advisable to increase the lenght of the plant field.
You can use plants starting from 0001 till 9999( also the different combinations of the alphabets). Let the description of the plant include company code.
Once you start using the system you will recognize the plant by it's code with the company code.
It seems that you are a user and not a SAP consultant.
Please consult your SAP consultant to understand the importance of the plant.
The plant code is used in several tables in SAP.If you try to change the lenght of the plant field in one table you have to change it for all the tables, which itself is a very big project.
Changing the plant is not customizing, it requires some special technical skills with skilled people.
Try to drop the idea of increasing the lenght of the field to avoid incosistancies in the system.
try to map all your plants in 4 digit code.
Cheers,
Satish Purandare

Shipping data for plants in Stock transport orders

Hi All,
While defining the shipping data for plants we genreally give customer and the sales area in plant settings.
Now we have diffrent divisions for material which are being transferred thru stock transfer. But while creating delivery it is picking the division as given in the shipping data which is hindering our reporting structure. Is there any settings to determine the division from the material rather then the shipping data for plant.
Regards,
Puneet Makkar

Hi JP,
I have already done that but system is picking the division from shipping data rather than Material Master. I hope u got clearity on wht is the main problem

CIF Plant transfer

We have been running APO with CIF transfers of plants when new plants are created and materials daily.
We have set-up a new plant with complete and correct address, time zone, regions etc.
There is only one active integration model at a time, verified. Upon new creation, no errors and no error in activation. But this new plant will not transfer, no error logs, no queues no sign there is any error, but no location is created.
I have followed the trouble shooting, error checks in the CIF Trouble shooting. At this point it says to create an OSS.
Anybody have tips, suggestions?
We are on ECC5, SCM4.1

Monica,
Ask yourself the following ...
- Are you able to Transfer ANY Location /Plant at all to APO or is it just a few ? My guess (not sure) is you are doing Integration Models activation first time, since you are doing the location which is the first thing.
- I am assuming you have done all the Configuration necessary (BSG, User Settings, CFC9 ... etc) for Integration Models to be Activated.
- Check in ECC in BF11 if the ND-APO Flag is Set to Transfer BTEs (Business Transaction Events) to APO.
- For Plants I am assuming you done all the Setup in ECC to define them as a Manufacturing Plant or DC or
- All Locations need a POSTAL Code / ZIP Code to be Entered in the Address. This is absolutely a Must for Plants to come over to APO as Locations.
- Also on TIMEZONE .... I have learnt that it is Better to define all the Plants in the Same TimeZone and they belong to Multiple Countries then use the UTC TimeZone (you can use UTC for GMT, UTC530 for IST, UTC-5 instead of EST, UTC-8 instead of PST, UTC8 for Singapore ... etc.)
- If all is OK ... try Deactivating via CFM2 & then Deleting the Locations Integration Model Completely via CFM7. Then Generate a Fresh one (Initial Load) for just that 1 Location and Activate it. This should get the Location across to APO if all the Pre-requisites above are fulfilled.
- If it still does not ... my guess is that your PI Version, LiveCache Build version are incompatible & you will get the right answer on OSS itself.
Hope this helps. Pls Reward Points if you found this usefull.

CATS for plant maintenance

Hi Guys,
I need your advice:-
We are on ECC 6 environment, the time system is running on 3rd party and payroll is on r/3, now the management decided to Implement CATS for plant maintenance (Activity based cost). So let me know is there is a feasibility to do so. If so, Please advice, your help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Babu

What type of time evaluation do you do ? PM
CATS are very much feasible with PS and activity types and you can transfer costs against activities, orders, networking elements and WBS elements. --Understandable
You said Time is captured by third party, which sub system is this? Legacy
CATS doesn't have any relation with 3rd party, ---Understandable. My? Can we make two process same time. Legacy and CATS ( My concern is about IT007 and Work schedule)
CATS users are different from swipe card users: Understandable
it depends on your design and requirement to comment on the feasibility at your end.
but on a general scale , CATS is feasible in transferring activity based cost and post it into FI and CO: Understandable
Requirement:
Need to implement CATS, to get work order, Time, and Employee name etc.
My question is where in SAP I can store the data enter through CATS, If I use IT0007, I may redundant the data at HR side which is using 3rd party data to run payroll, or using 2001, 2002 and 2005.
So, How can I use CATS Independently. Please advice. Thanks

Message LP327 WM Not active for plant

Dear All,
We have just upgraded our SAP system from 4.7 to ECC6.0, While doing a repetitive manufacturing backflush a warning has appeared (LP327 WM Not active for plant), the statement in the warning is correct, the plant is not active for WM, I was wondering if this particular warning could switched off.
Kind Regards
Mark Summerbell

Hi Mark,
The message is triggering from std SAP program RLLT0R00 and is defaulted to Error message.We cannot change that to warning message in that program.Pls try to search suitable OSS notes for the same.It looks like Extent WM is active for your plant so the message is issued.
Pls see below attached details of Extent WM
Reg
Benny
Extent Warehouse Management
Key that controls the use or the degree of activation of Warehouse Management for a storage location. The key controls whether bin stock is to be managed in the MM-WM component.
The field can have the following settings:
blank = normal management of stock in bins. The full range of functions provided by the MM-WM component is available.
1 = Lean WM for inbound or outbound deliveries. The delivery or pick is executed using transfer orders (from MM-WM). These transfer orders, however, do NOT update bin stock in Warehouse Management.
2 = For this storage location, you can use normal SD picking in combination with doors and staging areas. In this context, no Warehouse Management functions are activated.
3 = Lean WM for outbound deliveries. Picking occurs using transfer orders (from LE-WM). However, these transfer orders do NOT update bin stock in Warehouse Management.
4 = Lean WM for inbound deliveries. Putaway occurs using transfer orders (from LE-WM). These transfer orders do NOT, however, update bin stock in Warehouse Management
