Difference between material listing and item proposal?

HI Gurus,
COuld you explain what is the difference between material listing and item proposal?
--james

Hi James,
Item Proposal is automatically proposed by the system while creating a sales order for a specific customer.
This setting is maintained in the Sales Area of customer master under Sales tab.
It can be stored as master records. When you create a sales order, you can refer to an item proposal, look over the proposed items, and copy all or just selected items into the order. If a customer routinely orders the same goods, you can create a proposal and enter it in the customer master record. During sales order processing, the system automatically proposes items from this proposal.
Item Proposal is created using VA51.
Material Listing lists which materials a customer can buy. With material listing or exclusion you can control which materials can be sold to each customer.
A material listing is created for a customer. The customer can only buy the materials contained in the list. The system does not allow any materials to be entered if they are not contained in the material listing.
If no records exist for material listing, the sold-to party, for example, can in principle buy the same materials as the payer. However, if there is a material listing record specific to the sold-to party, the sold-to party can only buy the materials permitted in the list. These materials do not have to be identical to those which the payer can buy.
Material listing and material exclusion are controlled using the condition technique.
Hope it helps.
Regards,
Priyanka

  • Difference between Material type and Item category

    What is the difference between Material type and Item category?
    We can differentiate different kind of materails according to material type then why do we have Item category which is also more or less on the same lines.
    Both can be considered as a terminology in SAP to group similar kind of materials.
    Please let me know the exact difference between the two?

    Dear Christino
    We can list out so many differences.
    When you create a material master record, the material type you choose determines:
    - Whether the material is intended for a specific purpose, for example, as a configurable material or process material
    - Whether the material number can be assigned internally or externally
    - The number range from which the material number is taken
    - Which screens appear and in what sequence
    - Which departmental data you may enter
    - What procurement type the material has; that is, whether it is manufactured in-house or procured externally, or both
    Together with the plant, the material type determines the material's inventory management requirement; that is:
    - Whether changes in quantity are updated in the material master record
    - Whether changes in value are also updated in the stock accounts in financial accounting
    In addition, the accounts affected by a material entering or leaving the warehouse depend on the material type.
    -Most importantly, Users can be authorized to create materials of specific material types but not based on item category
    - Item category will define whether the material should be valuated for stock or it should be considered as non-stock
    - Pricing is carried out based on Item Category and not based on Material type

  • Difference between source list and info records

    Dear All,
    What is the difference between Source List and Info Records?
    Thanks N Regards
    Anandasiva

    Hi,
    The source list is the list which shows the sources from which you can procure the material. If you have ticked the source list requirement in the material master, then you can procure the material only from the vendors mentioned in the source list.
    In Inf Record, you maintain the data for a material supplied by a vendor. e.g. Material price, tax code, other conditions,, buyer code, delivery & payment terms.
    Hope your requirement is fulfilled.
    Reward points if the answer is helpful.

  • Difference between 'materialized vews' and snapshots

    Hello,
    i have two questions:
    what the difference between 'materialized vews' and snapshots? In fact, in create thoses Oracle Objects:
         create materialized view log on T1
         Create materialized view T1_MV
              Build immediate
              Refresh fast on commit
              As Select COL1,COL2 from T1
         Create snapshot T1_SNAPSHOT
         Build immediate
         Refresh fast on commit
         As Select COL1,COL2 from T1
    and in find that T1_MV and T1_SNAPSHOT have the same caracteristics in dba_tables and DBA_SNAPSHOTS and DBA_MVIEWS.
    seconde question: what's the difference between DBA_SNAPSHOTS
    and DBA_MVIEWS tables?
    I work under oracle 9i
    thinks for response.

    Backwards compatibility. Some apps might reference DBA_SNAPHOTS and it would be a PITA to change them. Eventually Oracle might decide that it's a greater PITA for them to keep those views and ditch 'em.

  • Difference between Material Specs and Inspection Plan

    Hi ALL,
    Whats the difference between Material Specifications and Inspection plan...?...Why Material Specification is required in QM...?
    Thanks & Regards,
    Ameya K.

    Hi Ameya,
                    The first thing is that material spec is the client level data in QM where as Inspection plan is the plant level.
    <u><b>
    Case 1:</b></u>    Suppose that there is an attribute Viscosity whivh needs to be checked whose UCL & LCL is 10 to 15. But in one plant where some highy precise requirement is there ...... then in that case we want that for that plant for the material viscocity should be 5 to 7 . In that case the requirement of the inspection plans comes in to picture .
    <b><u>Case 2 :</u></b>    The material got one extra attribute needs to be checked for some plant .... in that case we need to maintain inspection plan for that material with both Insp with material spec &   insp with inspection plan need to be checked  so that during the result recording apart from the attributes in the material spec this extra attribute gets populated from inspection plan
    Note : Apart from this as in material spec the data is maintained in the client level the load in the database will be compartively less  as there will not be any duplication of data which will be there in case of plant level data for the same material ..........
    I hope this will add some info apart from what the gurus has suggested above .....
    Please reward points if helpful.....
    Thanks & Regrads

    Hi Suresh,
    The application component Actual Costing/Material Ledger fulfills two basic objectives: The ability to carry material prices in multiple currencies/valuations, and actual costing.
    The material master records are all information your company needs to manage a material is stored in a data record in the material aster, sorted by various different criteria.

  • Where is the difference between Positive Liste and BP Release in SPL?

    Hi Folks,
    Where is the difference between setting a Business Partner on a
    Positive or Negative List and release or block a business partner in SPL?
    I thought that should be almost the same. Hope you can clarify it.
    Thanks
    Regards
    Dieter

    Hi Dieter,
    The difference is the following:
    If you put a partner on a negative or positive list it no longer gets screened. so, unless you screen the positive or negative list explicitly, the partner is no longer screened, and of course the one on the positive list is never blocked and the other one always free.
    If you release a Partner the Partner then the following happens (depending on the customizing).
    1. If you do not have set the memory function in the customizing then the partner stays unblocked until you launch a new screening run and, if it gets hit against a list entry, it will be blocked again
    2. If you do have the Memory function ticked in the customizing then the partner gets screened and released when you do a screening run (in contrary to the positive and negative list it does get screened, but automatically released). But if there is a new or changed entry that matches with the released partner, the partner gets blocked.
    Regards,
    Marc

  • Difference between material group and external material group

    Hi,
    Can anybody let me know the difference between the material group and external materila group from the business perspective.
    Thanks

    Hi Raghunandan,
    Material Group : Materials having similar attributes will be goruped together and assigned to a Material Group.
    Material groups are Extensively useful during :
    Limit the Scope of Analysis
    Reporting Purpose
    External material group : Key that you can use to assign the material to an external material group or to a material group determined according to external systematics.
    In General, External material groups are nothing but external representation of group of material  which are extensively used in supply souce determination for provions materials related to retail and some other functions
    In short if your Internal material group for example bearing is 0001 you can group externally further based on manufacturer like FAG for NRB. No accounting activity is based on it

  • Difference between Material Repository and Product Repository

    Hi Guys,
    Can you please explain the difference between the Product Repository and Material Repository.
    Thanks,
    Sandy.

    Hello,
    The MDM Products repository is structured to maintain the "sell- side" of the organization, meaning these are the products that the organization sells.
    The MDM Material repository, however, is structured to maintain the "buy- side" of the organization, meaning these are the raw materials that the organization buys in order to produce/ manufacture its products.
    These differences are also seen in the schema -the data elements that are maintained for each repository.

  • Differences between normal list and ALV list

    Hi All,
      where can i find the differences between a Normal SAP List and ALV List(Documentation part).

    Imagine you have to write a report that lists out customer addresses. You will write code to get the input from the user via selection screen and then read the data based on the seletion from the database into an internal table(or a set of internal tables). Now once you have the data you will need to output this. In normal list reports, you will have to use 'WRITE' statements to format the output into columns and rows. Now suppose user wants some interactivity in it. Then  you will have to provide some buttons and/or menu options through custom pf-status and then write logic for reacting to the user actions. After writing many such reportsm, you will feel like some of this can generalized and reused in every report.
    That is exactly what ALV does. It takes out most of repeated sections of the code from out of you and provides you with excellent outputting functionality. It provides many standard functions like 'print', 'sort', 'filter', 'sum' etc by default. Imagine writing code yourself for all these if you were writing normal list program. One more major difference is the editing feature. If you were write a program that gives the user with editing features, then you will have to write a lot of logic. But with ALV, all the features like adding a row, deleting a row, copying a row, editing some fields of a row etc come by default.
    Likewise, interactivity has become quite easy to implement. Like double clicking on a customer number, if the user wants to go to display customer transaction, it is very easy using ALV.
    As pointed out here by others, go through the documentation of ALV and go through some of those demo programs and you will know the difference. ALV takes out a lot of burden of coding everything away from you and lets you worry about the business functionality that your report provides, rather than formatting the output or providing interactivity to the output.
    Hope this helps,
    Srinivas
