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

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

Difference between Material Master and Material ledger
Can anyone tell me the difference if any between Material Master and Material ledger and its usage and interlink with SAP modules.
Thanks for your time
suresh aryaHi 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...

Material specification and Inspection plan - Task list usage
Dear Friends,
In inspection type Task list usage is assigned
For Example
inspection type 01 - usage - 03
inspection type 05 - usage - 05
inspection type 06 - usage - 07
inspection type 10 - usage - 06
In my scenario i want to use all the above inspection type for a product
if i use mateial specification there is no any problem with my Task list usage
If suppose i use inspection plan do i need to create different inspection plan with different usage
or is it possible to create one inspection plan with all the above usage
what about universal usage 03 can i use it
i try to use but system does not triggering inspection lot
can any one Suggest some ideas
Many Thanks & Regards
RajHi Raju,
All of first pls understand the concept of Task list and specification.
If you need to inspection any material in very systematic manner, where you will have well segregated operations where the appropriate Work Centers will be bind and under that hierarchy MIC will be attached. The inspection will be governed by some inspection points. And according the the same Samples will be calculated. When you wanna go with all these functionality then you must have to use Task list (Inspection plan).
And if you don't wish to have these functions then simply go with the material specification.
Now it comes the actual query about task list usage.
If there is a common inspection plan is supposed to be used for all the inspection types for your material then you can prepare only one inspection plan, put ant of the Usage to it it can be 05 or 03 universal. But what you have to do is,
Go to SPRO->Quality Management->Quality Inspection->Inspection Lot Creation->Maintain Inspection Types Execute and set the Task list usage as the same it is set in the inspection plan for all those Inspection types for which that common inspection plan is supposed to be used.
Note:- There is no any link between inspection lot creation and task list usage of inspection plan.

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.
ThanksHi 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.

Difference between BPS, MAP and Integrated Planning
HI Experts,
We have a plan to implement the BPS (Business Planningand Simulation) and MAP (Merchandise and Assortment Planning) in retail.
In our BI 7.0 can i use Business Planning (Integrated Planning) or i need to go for BPS and MAP individually.
Pls suggest me.
Best Regards,
Rams.You also have BPS in Bi 7. Points to consider:
1. Future development and new functionalities will be deliverred on IP framework, though you can use old BPS in BI7.
2. IP does not some of the features that BPS has, but hoping that SAP will deliver them down the road.

QM Material specification with inspection plan
Hello,
I'm trying to setup QM material spec with inspection plan and it doesn't work.
I setup material master (With insp plant and with material spec).
I Created a characteristic that I used in my inspection plan and maintained the characteristic in the material specification.
When I create an inspection lot (89), the characteristic is always inserted at the end instead of redefining my specifications into the pre-defined characteristic.
Have I missed something?
GhislainAs per our business scenario for Pharmaceutical we use Inspection with attached MIC with Sampling and Sample drawing Procedure, Sampling scheme to check the Quality of RM/PM/FP, can u give me some idea regarding;
1) Material Specificaton in Inspection plan
2) Reference Operation set with its use.
3) Dynamic Modification Rule
As for pharma we do;
1) Create MIC
2) Create Inspection plan
3) Attaching the MIC to an Inspection plan with sampling and sample drawing procedure
4) Attacing an Inspection Plan to an Inspection Lot
5) Result Recording and Usage Decision of Inspection lot for
In Automotive and othe Process Industry how the Dynamic modification rule,reference operation set, material specification flow.

Specifications and Inspection Plans
Hi,
I have few questions regarding Specs and Inspection plans.
1) What is the primary purpose of specifications(CG02 transaction)?
2) What is the use of specficications in QM and EHS modules?
3) How are specifications related to Inspection plans?
4) What is the business advantage by enabling specification data to be copied directly into Inspection plans?
Thanks in adavnce
VishnuThe idea is that you can maintain all the specs in the EH&S module in one place. Specs are used of course to evaluate the material and make sure the material is what it is suppose to be.
The transferring however of the specs from the EH&S module to QM however leaves a lot to be desired. I don't recommend it at this time. If you attempt to do it, plan on bringing in a consulting partner or consultants. You'll probably wind up doing a lot of coding to make it work for you as there isn't much flexibility or functionality as it is currently delivered. All IMHO.

Relation between Payment term and Billing Plan
Hi All,
I have gone through series of thread on Milestone billing and the Billing plan concept is understood but still I have a confusion regarding the relation between Payment Term that we maintain in OBB8 and the Billing plan that we maintain. practically both seems same.
For ex. Milestone Linked plan where 30% payment to be received on the completion of X work and 70% on the completion of Z work. what should be the payment term for this kind of milestone billing?
Please suggest.
Thanks in Advance.
Binita JoshiHi,
First there is one major difference between payment terms and billing plan.
Payment terms will come into effect once billing is done, based on the conditions of payment terms system decides whether a certain line item is not due or overdue.
Billing plan on the other hand decides when to bill the first installment and when to bill second installment and final payment etc.
For example:
for a order with billing plan has total value of INR 1000
date Mile stone percentage Amount
21.10.2011 Advance 10% 100
31.10.2011 installation 30 % 300
15.11.2011 Handing over 40 % 400
30.11.2011 Final invoice 20% 200
System will create 4 invoices according to billing plan.
Once the bill is created according to payment terms FBL5n will show the status as not due/ overdue
Hope this helps.

Sharan
