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.
For more information regarding the functionality, you can see in path below, help SAP...

Hello,
Transfer posting may involve or not involve the physical goods transfer. In the system you might do transfer posting from quality to unrestricted, or from one store location to another.
In transfer posting you remove and or replace materials from storage in one storage location and place them in another storage location.
That transction code you use for transfer posting MB1B with following movement types may be used
301, 303,305,311,411,309.
301 is Stock Transfer Between Plants in One Step
303 & 305 : Stock Transfer Between Plants in Two Steps
In stock transfer, it always involves physical movement of goods, like transfer between plants under same company code or different company codes.
Following types are possible with STO's
Stock Transport Order Without Delivery
Stock Transport Order with Delivery via Shipping
Stock Transport Order with Delivery and Billing Document/Invoice

Difference between Item Proposal and Material Determination

Hi
What is the difference between the item proposal and material determination product proposal?
Thanks
KM

Hi
Item proposal and product proposal are the same.
Item proposal is the list of materials and order quantities that can be copied into the sales order from the customer master data.
We use VA51 to create the item proposal. Here we get a number.This number is then linked to the customer master data in the sales view. This is very commonly used.
Material determination is very closely related to item proposal /product proposal and is used to swap one material for another in the sales order using the condition technique. I have not seen Material determination procedures used in the projects I have worked.
Item Proposal or Product proposal:
Item proposal is same as product proposal & SAP uses the two terms interchangeably.
An item proposal is a list of materials and order quantities that can be copied into the sales order. Items can also be selected from a list and copied into a sales order.
1) Use transaction [VOV8] to configure the document type ("MS" for product proposal).
2) Use transaction [VA51] to create a proposal.
3) Enter the item proposal on the sales area data (sales tab) of the customer master record.
4) In [VA01] to create a sales order, Select Edit & propose items."
Material determination:
"Material determination uses the condition technique to swap one material for another when certain conditions apply. Material
determination is triggered by the material entered in the line item of the sales order.
Use transaction [VB11] to create a material determination condition record. And [OV12] for configuration of material determination.
Material determination is useful when old product is becoming obsolete or a new product is released by the company at specific date."

Business Content: Difference between Articles, Products and Material

Hi experts,
what is exactly the difference between the repositories of the business content for
- Articles
- Products and
- Material?
In which business cases do I have to choose which repository? Maybe articles for retail, material for manufacturing, etc.?
When I am using business content repositories is there any kind of (customizing) data that is necessary in more than one repository (e.g. plants, units, etc.) so that it has to be maintained twice in two different repositories?
Thanks for your answers. Of course helpful answers will be rewarded.
BR, bd

Hi,
First of all please make your question clear.
On the other hand I don't think you required two different kind
of repositories for a particular master data object(AS Material)
in terms of activation of standerd business content.
Because there is no relevance if you are considering to make two different repositories with two different field of Material say
Unit, Plants..it is kind of reference data for a particular object(Material). and by making two different Repo. there will be no relavance otherwise you can make it.
Hope it helps.

Report on difference between PO price and Material standard price

Hi,
We need a report on Purchase price difference, which is report showing Open PO price & Material standard price, if there is a price difference
This need to be run every day to avoid buyer changing price at PO level unless there is a valid reason
Similarly difference if any between Schedule agreement price & Material master standard price
Please help

Hi,
There is no standard report available for this.
You need to develop one.
Considering your requirement, it can be achieved with a query as well provided you do not need complex functionality out of the report.
Hope this helps.

Link between Business area and Material master

Hi guys
Is there a link between Busines area and material master, i am getting an error when I am trying to Move part of material stock from unrestricted stock to Project stock by 411/Q.
Error
Business area xx changed to yy
Ideas?
sam

Hi
Yes Business area has a link with MMR
Business area determination is through by three rules
1. Plant and item division
2. Sales area( sales orgdistribution channeldivision )
3. Sales org, distribution channel and item division
Here item division means the division in MMR that is basic data 1 tab and sales org 1 tab
This division field forms the main link between Business area and MMR

What is the difference between handling unit and packaging material

hi
what is the difference between handling unit and packaging material

Hi,
A handling unit is a physical unit that consists of the packaging materials (load carrier / packaging material) and the goods contained therein. A handling unit is always a combination of materials and packaging materials. All the information contained in the material items, such as batches and serial numbers, is always available by way of the handling units.
Packaging materials are intended to enclose or hold together the materials that are to be packed. In other words, the material that is to be packed can be packed into or onto the packaging material. The packaging material can be a load carrier. The most important packaging materials include crates, boxes, containers, wire baskets, and pallets.

Service master and material type 'service'

Hi everybody.
I am a bit confused about "Service"
There is a service master that we can use to store and procure service.
Also we can use material master to store 'service' using material type 'service' and procure service in that way.
I want to know what is the difference between the two ? When shall I use what ?

Hi
If you do not want to use 'External Service Management', you can use materials of type Service (DIEN).
This will be similar to any other account assigned material PO with free text. Instead of using free text, you are using material master and also helps you in identifyign service purchases from other material purchases. You will not use item category 'D' in this case. You do GR here.
Service masters are used when you use item category 'D' ('External Service Management'). There are additional flexibility of defining service specifications, service outlines, using service entry sheet etc here.
Best regards

Two are different master info objects and can't get them from one data source.
think about multi provider or info set on two master data objects to club them.
Info object - 0MATERIAL and data source - 0MATERIAL_ATTR
Info object - 0VEDNOR and data source - 0VENDOR_ATTR
Thanks

Reg. price maintenance in material master and Costing

Dear Experts
I have maintained price for material in material master and costing,but when I create PO price didn't come from anywhere. Pls help me.
Thanks
Rajakumar.k

Dear Rajakumar,
The values that are maintained in the material master in costing view is considered only for costing
purpose.
Say while doing the cost estimate for a material using CK40N,a costing variant will be used and say For
Eg,PPC1,for this a valuation variant will be linked ,as per this valuation variant for costing purpose the
first priority would have been given to the planned price in the material master in costing 2 view.
So this value will be considered only for costing purpose.
For procurement related things you have to maintain a purchase info record for a material + vendor
combination in ME11 and a source list in ME01.
In the purchase info record you can maintain a price for buying the material from that vendor.
I hope this will clear your doubts.
Check and revert back.

Difference between Business Partner and Customer Master repository

What is the difference between Business Partner and Customer Master repository ?
Is the Business Partner repository to be used in case CRM is also in landscape ? or Customer master repository is good enough ?
Sandesh

Hi,
If the landscape has both CRM and SAP ECC a business partner repository model should be good.
If it has ECC alone.a Customer Repository is needed.
But when there are many legacy systems which also contains master data fields, the standard business repository provided by SAP wont provide a good solution as it wont cover the legacy master fields..In this case its better to go for a customized repository and you can use the standard repository as a reference.
Thanks
