Deployment in Multiple countries, Single Item Master

Hi,
We have a Business Group in country A. Item master defined for the same. System is live since last year.
This year we are planning to implement R12 for country B.
1. Can we use the same Item Master for country B as well? I read Oracle suggests to use 1 item master only for the ease of maintenance. Both countries A and B have separate Business Groups. So if we intend to use item master of A in B, what should be the setup so that we can view Item master while defining financial options in inventory setups in B. Currently it is not coming under the LOV.
2. What is an item validation org? How is it different than an Item master.
Thanks for your time and help beforehand.

You need to set the profile "HR:Cross Business Group" as "Yes" to get the master org visible across business group.
The link - http://oracle.ittoolbox.com/groups/technical-functional/oracle-apps-l/use-of-same-master-organization-in-moac-4687847 talks about the same.

Single Item Master across Business Groups

Hi Gurus,
Client wants to implement single item master across the business groups (BG).
Does this require set up of HR Profile for allowing Cross Business groups?
Is there any other setting that needs to be done (in addition to traditional Inv Org definition)?
Appreciate your early response.
Thanks,
Sudarshan

Sudarshan
I think you need to setup Hr security profile only if you are using that. If not you just need to enable the profile value for cross business group. This is required just in case if an employee needs to be picked up in the lov in an item attribute (I don't remember whether there is one) from diff BG.Also move order approvals need to be tested if you are using that feature.
In general I think anything that need to do with employees need to be tested.
Thanks

Order multiple quantity in item master data

Hello experts,
I cannot import from Excel file new values for order multiple quantity in item master data (in section planning data). After importing I see that records were imported successfully, but all data which we put in past have been changed to zero and planning method is changed from MRP at None. We have 8.81 PL10 (updating at the end of January).
Do you have any similar experience?
Thank you,
jonmar7

Dear JonMar7,
I have done this in SAP 8.8.1 PL08 using the Import/Export under utilities and seems to be normal. I have only chosen Item and Order Multiple for my template.

Delete Multiple Records from Item Master

Hi,
We received wrong master data which has been uploaded and two groups have to be deleted. All the items in those particular groups have also to be deleted. Can anyone suggest how to delete multiple records from Item Master?
Currently I am navigating through each Item and doing a Right Click + Remove. It is very painful given the huge number of records.
Regards
Sudatt

Hi Sudatt.....
I recommend you not to run any kind of delete or update SQL query as it harms DB.
You can create your own front end application with the help of any technical consultant which can be
achieved very easily. Else such problems create a big problem during upgradation to next version.......

Multiple group - single material master data

Dear friends ,
I am doing material master data as follows.
Ex. Water Bottle - Material Group - may be (Aqua) or (Bislary) or (Saiganga) or (Balley).
means when i will make material master it will become 4 material master with 4 group as bellow.
1) Water bottel-Aqua
2 )water bottle-Bislary
3 )Water bottle-Saiganga
4) Water bottle-Balley.
By my requirement is that it should be only one material master code , with facility of 4 material group.
Whatever i need i will select at the time of PO.
Regards,
Mahesh.

Hi,
You just go for single material code creation as WATERBOTTLE and then as you needed, you can go for Split Valuation where same material WATERBOTTLE at a plant can have different stock quantity and value for different groupings {(Aqua) or (Bislary) or (Saiganga) or (Balley)}
http://www.sap123.com/a/29/#split-valuation
OR
Go for Batch Management where you are just subdividing the material WATERBOTTLE according to the characteristics{(Aqua) or (Bislary) or (Saiganga) or (Balley)}

Multiple Item Master Organizations

We are working on an Oracle Implementation for a large firm in South Korea.
Our client covers many different industires and operate nationally,
it is inevitable to use Multi-Organization structure.
And we are also considering implementing multiple item master organizations
under one installation of Oracle applications.
( Acutally We have 1 Set Of Books, 1 Legal Entity, 13 Operating Units )
Cause there are much difference between chemical industry and Heavy Industry,
Our Client says it just has little business impacts with 2 separate item master organizations.
But According to Oracle documents, Oracle does recommend not to difine
multiple item masters.
We are not sure if there could be much functional or technical impacts with multiple item master organizations.
Cause we have no reference site here in Korea.
Has anyone been involved in this type of situation before?
Are there any other points for considerations?
We would very appreciate hearing from you ASAP.
Thank you
null

I am not sure if i understood everything but I would say go with single item master. Its simple & easily to manage item attribute later on.

Relation between item master org and operating Unit

How single item master org can relate to multiple operating Unit so that items defined at Master Org level can be accessed in other operating units ?

Hi,
Item will be accessed in inventory organizations which you assigned the item to.
To access items from particular Operating Unit in Purchasing module
define Operating Unit Organization as a Inventory Organization as well.
Then choose this Organization as a Inventory Organization in Purchasing : Setup>Organizations>Financial Options.
In Order Management you choose an Operating Unit which items can be accessed.
Each item assign to Item Master Organization and to Operating Unit Organization and to required Inventory Organizations.
This works in 11i. I dont know how it is in R12.

Marcin

Item master Item mapping with multiple vendors

Hi Experts,
I need your help, I have one item like 'TV' in item master and need to enter multiple prices make wise samsung,sony,lg like.
How can I maintain this in SAP B1 2005B.
One Item mapping with multiple vendors with price...
Thanks,

Dear Aarti,
I would recommend to have multiple items for the different brands you are selling.
For example, you can call the item code Samsung, Sony etc and all of these item can be added to an item group called TV.
Then you can assign a price to the items in the price lists.
Alternatevely, if you need to have one single item called TV and different prices according to the brand, create a number of price lists called Sony, Sumsung etc and then if you know which customers buy a particular brand you can connect the price list to the customer under
Business partner master data - Payment Terms - Price list.
Please, if these 2 options are not helpful let us know the exact scenario and business reason behind your request.
Kind Regards,

Delete single item form multiple populated list

Hi,
please help me to find a solution!!
I have 2 listboxes. listbox Description is populated by XML.
When user selects multiple items at the same time from the Description listbox, they are populated in the listbox and are removed from Description listbox. that works fine.
But the issue is if the user accidently selects one of the multiple selected items at the same time wrong and want to delete a single items, this doesnt work anymore.
I can not even click on each single item.
I try to find a way how to enable user to populate multiple items at the same time and be able to delete each single item, which then should return back to the Description listbox.
I would really appreciate if you could help me on this!!!
This is my sample: https://acrobat.com/#d=l0mujTOFduSJFele5R5i3g
Thanks,
Diana

Would you not just reverse your code ..instead of populating listbox from the selections in description and deleting the items out of description, remove the items from listbox and update description then remove the items from listbox.
Or am I missing something?

Single item shipment using multiple trucks

Hi Friends,
I have a typical requirement where my client want to ship one of their product ( A Huge item, which they dismantle it for shipment) using multiple trucks. How we can handle this situation using SAP LES module? They can hire multiple trucks to ship this item by road to the destination using multiple service providers. So the service cost also need to be settled for all these service providers. Will SAP allow to split a single item through multiple shipments? I really appreciate a solution for this.
Thanks

There are a couple of recommended methods for using more than one iPod on a single computer. Method one is to have individual Mac or Windows user accounts which by definition would give you completely separate libraries. Each account has it's own iTunes folder, Library and iTunes Music folder and you load it with CDs etc just as you did with your original one. Each iPod can be set to update however the owner chooses, sync all, manual or sync specific playlists.
Method two is to set your preferences so that either one or all iPods get updated with only certain playlists within one library. Have a look at this article and see what you think and go for whichever you feel suits your needs best: How To Use Multiple iPods with One Computer
Another option when using a single library is to set the iPods to manual update: Managing content manually on iPod
Choosing the update option "automatically update selected playlists only" (called Sync Music - Selected playlists in iTunes 7) allows you to create a playlist specifically for each iPod and drag the tracks you want into it. If you tire of the list and want to change it, you just add or remove the songs you don't want. The ones you take out out remain in the library to be used by the other iPods. Make your playlist a Smart playlist and limit the size to just below the advertised capacity of your iPod ( for example, around 3700MB for a 4GB or 1800MB for a 2GB Mini or Nano). You can read more about playlists at these links:

In CFC9, you have three options for material master changes,
Blank -- No transfer

if you are using option 1, you have to run again CFP1

Multiple Units of Measurements for a single item

Hi all,
How do I maintain multiple units of measurements for a single Item/ I have a scenario where purchase orders are being made for sand in Metric Tons, Tons, Kgs and Cubit Feets. Each measurement is being used at each construction site of the company but the item is single sand. One more problem is here with the material reconciliation of stock since it is maintained in different units of measurement and conversion from unit to other is problematic.
Thanks
