DIEN or TRAD material type for freight to be invoiced to customer?

Hi guys,
I am asked by QA to maintain Financial views (Accounting&Costing) for a material that is cost of freight that we want to invoice to the customer. They would like to register this material as TRAD, but my problem is that I then have to determine a st.price and a valuation class for this material, and this material could possibly be stock which doesn't make any sense to me. Do you know the implications for this in Accounting, if I do as I am asked? How have you solved this issue with freight to be invoiced? I want to ask them to create this material as type DIEN, which would mean that I don't need to maintain any views, but they say they are not sure that is correct either.
Please help.
Regards,
Alina

Hi,
Freight to be invoiced to the customer should have been handled as a condition type in sales pricing.
You can also do it using a service material of type DIEN.
But if you do that it has to be a line item on the order or delivery though it may not be eligible for picking.

Material Type for Software

What would be an appropriate material type for sellable software? Dien? Fert? thx

A material type is nothing than a description plus some customized attributes. for one company the predefined material types work right away while others may have to tweak them to their needs.
what is a spare part ERSA for one company, may be a FERT for an other company, it depends on your business.
I am working in a chemical company, a Pipe or an ellbow is just a spare part for us. A company that manufactures pipes and ellbows has those items as FERTs, a company that builds tankfarms has these items as raw materials.
what is a software, probably a FERT for the company that developes it. But the predefined nature of a FERT is quantity and value managed. Which would make sense for software too, if the software is on a CD and the CD in carton.
For a company that buys the software - if it is so expensive like SAP software - it is probably an asset.
you said you do not store software, this means you would need to customize the FERT material type to your personal needs or create an own material type.What other views do you not need in case of software? if you dont store materials, then the MRP views can become obsolete, storage location view is certainly obsolete, WM views are not needed, work scheduling view probably not needed.
Can you manage the material only by value? to my knowledge value only materials are only possible in a retail system.
It is not really possible to give you a recommendation what material type you should use, as this is pretty much dependend to your business and local requirements.

New condition type for freight

hi,
i want to create new condition type for freight like some different ways of transportation like (roadrailair), three are at a time, which user exit i want to take and where it will trigger

hi,
as you have to have three condition types for sales order
ROAD - VENDOR1 - ZVE1
RAIL - VENDOR2 - ZVE2
ROAD - VENDOR3 - ZVE3 - into sales order.
create a screen exit and add this in your delivery addational tab page - MANUAL ENTRY BY THE USER.
with
LEG 1 - ROAD - VENDOR1 - ZVE1
LEG 2 - RAIL - VENDOR2 - ZVE2
LEG 3 - ROAD - VENDOR3 - ZVE3
create a Z table which captures the information for this.
and link this table to FB70 - t.code
and settle it individually as per FFA.

Changing material type for material with history

We needed to change the material type for an existing item with purchasing, inventory and sales history from HAWA to UNBW. We are trying to PGI the first receipt since the change, and are receiving an Account Determination error .
When I look at the material master set-up, I still see records in the MBEW table. UNBW items that are set-up that way from scratch do not have any records in this table. Is this what is driving my error?
I'm guessing that if it is not, there will be some discrepancy between the material, vendor, and capital asset order.
Any insight is appreciated.

even UNBW can have accounting views.
The problem is probably that you just changed the material type and did not change the valuation class in the accounting view accordingly. remove it, and try again.

Condition Type for Freight

Hi,
I have created a new condition type for freight.
Now i want that whenever i use that condition with value 100 Rs in PO with qty 100,and while taking 50 qty for GRN that freight amount should be fixed.
It should not vary as per GRN quantity.
So anyone pls suggest related settings for condition type as well as Pricing Procedure.
Waiting for reply.
Regards,
Rahul Patil.

hi rahul,
I had tested in my system and frieght value is not varying.
I have Created a ZFRT conditon (assign the access seq.) in which,
Cond. class - A
Calculat.type - B
Cond.category - B
assign the value 100 INR in condition master via MEK1 transction.
then i test it.
If I raise PO for 5 item or 10 item, i'm getting the 100 INR as freight amount.

Material type for Vendors Returnable packaging material

Dear all,
I have a scenario where in i am recieving co2 gas from my vendor against a PO.
He is supplying it with cylinders i want to keep track of the cylinders and afetr using the gas want to return the cylinder to vendor.
Now the doubt arises, under which material type should I create this cylinder.
Doubt 1
I thougt of creating under the material type : LEIH, but this material type also contains the purchasing, accounting, sales view and same time in the config of the material type LEIH, value updating is not ticked, which is making me confuse.
Doubt 2
What I felt is, LEIH should be used for the our owns company returnable packaging material , which will go to the customer , but again for this also, these material should be valuated, since they belongs to our own stock , so why in standard SAP, value updation is not there.
Doubt 3
Keeping above 2 points in mind, what should be material type for vendor's returnable packaging material , where I want only qty tracking.
Regards
Nitin

You can copy LEIH and create your own Materia Type say ZLEI. For this material type you can have only General Plant / Storage Data1 view enabled.
Remember, there are 2 materials here:
1. Gas
2. Returnable packaging (cylinder)
You can receive gas on unit basis if you dont want exact tracking (ie in KG). Use any procurement material type.
When you create the PO only mainitan Gas as the material.
When you do the goods receipt against this PO, Click on RTP button, this will create a new line item, automatically and will suggest movement type 501+M. Here enter the no. of cylinders.
You will be able to track the movement of cylinders.

Material type for BOM that should not create production order

Hello all,
We have following situation in our company:
We ship few products say for e.g A,B,C which are part of higer level BOM for product M1 to the customer, before the actual product M1 is shipped.Currently these ship-a-head products(A,B,C) is also part of BOM for M1.
We need to combine these ship-a-head products A,B,C as one product M2 (thinking of a BOM) and ship that M2 to customer before M1 is shipped.
In that case what could be the material type for product M2 so that MRP won't create any Production orders for M2.
Also wondering Is there any other way, other than creating a BOM that could combine products A,B and C and ship to customer a-head of time.
Thanks,
Sre

Material Type for Material Determination

Hi Expert,
Is there any spesific/standard material master type for material determination on SD ?
Thanks,
IB

Is there any standard material type for 'Material Entered'
Normal salable materials would be created with HALB or FERT and this is in no way related to material determination. In fact, as everybody asked, if you can explain the business as to why you are comparing material type with material determination, may be you will get the right direction.

This may be little tough for 10000 sales orders.
1. You have to remove the output record for the irrelevant output record using tcode VV12 for the relevant document type. So now for the document type, the old output wont be triggered.
2. Now, create output records for hte correct output type in VV11 tcode(for the output type BA03) for the document type. Now this output will be triggered for all the document types you are creating from now onwards.
3. To trigger the output type BA03, in all the old orders, you just have to open these sales orders in change mode (VA02), and just save it. When u open it the output type BA03 will be automatically triggered as the master data is maintained in VV11. But because just opening all the 10000 sales orders in VA02 one by one be a mechanical task, you have to think of some tool for this.
May be a CATT procedure can do the trick. Else, you can just create a small program, where you can upload these sales orders and the program will just open these orders in change mode and just saves it (without making any changes). Then the output will be retriggered.
Here again, if you are printing the output directly, it is advisable to trigger the output in batch mode(Date/Time field is 1 in VV11), and then you can again trigger the printing again using the program RSNAST00 after office hours for these 10k orders.
I hope I answered ur query.
Pls lemme know if you need some more info. (You can reward me too...)

Standard IDoc Type for Inbound NonPO Vendor Invoices - FB60

What should be the perfect standard IDoc Type for Inbound NonPO Vendor Invoice posting. Tcode FB60.
I found IDoc Type FIDCCP02 but the Function Module 'IDOC_INPUT_FIDCC2' for FIDCCP02 is not released.
In the same way many other standard function modules like - IDOC_INPUT_ACLPAY, IDOC_INPUT_FIDCCH, IDOC_INPUT_ACC_INVOICE_RECEIPT and few more are not released.
My question : If at all I have to use standard IDoc Type, Message type and Function module (Released) for Inbound NonPO Vendor Invoices, then what should be the solution from SAP ?
Thanks,
Veeru.

Hi,
IDOC_INPUT_FIDCC2 for FIDCCP02 works for us in ECC6.0
If you want Automatic tax calculation functionality using FIDCCP02.. then FIDCC2 is not correct message type for you. In that case you should probably go for :
Msg: INVOIC
Basic type: INVOIC02
FM: IDOC_INPUT_INVOIC_FI
Process code: INVF

Best Material Type for Handling Non-valuated Materials in Distribution

Our distribution business will soon be handling non-valuated material and I am trying to determine the best material type to use. I am considering material type UNBW but would like to know if anyone has advice. We are strictly providing a service to the vendor for handling these non-valuated materials (for example, wood products). We will not purchase or sell the product. Our service consists of receiving the product into inventory from the vendor, tracking the inventory, (in Warehouse Management) and then shipping the material to a customer of the vendor's choosing. For these non-valuating materials, we are paid strictly for our service of warehousing the material and shipping to a customer.
Up until now, our distribution business has distributed only valuated materials, i.e., materials we purchase at a price and sell at a price. We also use vendor consignment. NOTE: This is not a vendor consignment scenario because we never buy the product.
Here are our requirements:
- We don't own the non-valuated product.
- We need to be able to ship these new non-valuated products on the same shipments as the valuated product we own.
- We use handling unit and warehouse management for all of our finished goods.
- We would like to use our existing processes and HU/WM RF transactions to receive and pick the non-valuated product. This means:
1) Creating inbound deliveries and packing into HUs. And applying our HU bar code labels.
2) Physical inventory counts by HU.
3) Creating sales orders that have both the non-valuated materials and valuated materials we own.
4) Creating outbound deliveries and picking via transfer orders in WM.
5) Assigning the outbound deliveries to a shipment.
Questions:
1) Can a UNBW material that will be stocked but not valuated be received into inventory via a PO? Any way to receive into inventory with an inbound delivery without using a PO?
2) Are there any problems with putting a non-valuated material on a sales order with a zero price?
3) Any challenges that other have run into?
Thanks in advance.
Rob

I must be missing something regarding the use of material type UNBW. When I post the goods receipt for a PO with a UNBW material, no inventory is created. When I create the PO, an account assignment is required. I tried both a cost center account assignment (K) and balance sheet account assignment (Z - using a Profit Center). In both cases, I am forced to check the "Free item" checkbox to avoid entering a price; which also seems strange since the material is UNBW.
I have searched everywhere for a "Best Practice" for my scenario with little results. Again, we are simply managing the inventory for a vendor and shipping the inventory to our vendor's customers. So we are acting as a third pary warehouse and shipper for the vendor. We do not buy or sell the inventory - we are paid a monthly service fee by the vendor for warehousing their product and shipping it to their customers. We may ship the product on sales order deliiveries that include both the "non-valuated" product (i.e., free goods we manage for this vendor) and goods that we actually own.
As an alternative, I am wondering if I should look into somehow using vendor consignment with a settlement price (consignment info record price) of zero. Vendor consignment is nice because you can track the stock by vendor. However, we would never truly "settle" with the vendor because we would not be paying the vendor for the inventory and would never own it.
Our business refers to this as "reload business" but I am not sure this is an industry standard term.
Any other thoughts out there?
