Different countries of origin for the same material

Hi All,
I need to maintain two different countries of origin for the same material, is this possible?
I have materials that are sold to customer in Europe and also in the US, but according to EU laws the country of origin is X and according to NAFTA laws the country of origin is Y.
I therefore need to be able to maintain the data according to the receiving country.
Is there a possibility to do this in SAP?
Thanks,
Sivan

Thank you for the answer.
The problem is not that I have a different vendor, but that I have a different customer. The laws regarding how to define the country of origin for the EU are a bit different from the laws regarding the US. Therefore the same material, purchased from the same vendor can have a different country of origin when we sell it to a customer in the US from the country of origin when we sell it to a customer in the EU.
I therefore need to maintain the country of origin according to the teratory in which the customer resides.
Do you know of a solution for this?
Thanks,
Sivan

Sales Deal with two different validation dates for the same material

Hi SAPers,
I am trying to create a u201CSales Dealu201D VB31, for the same material/condition, but with two different validation dates. After the creation of the first record, I select u201CNew conditionu201D button, but the system give me the message VK104, u201Cthe condition is being processed in the current session.u201D.
How can I solve this issue?
Thanks in advance.
Pedro

We can't have multiple records for the same condition and key values valid on the same date. The condition end date is part of the primary key in the database table. The date ranges between the records cannot overlap. When you create a new record, usually the end date is set to 12/31/9999 by default. If you need to have this deal to end on a different date and a new deal to start afterwards, then first you need to change 12/31/9999 to a different date.
Also usually I try to exit the screen between the transactions.

Multiple info records for the same material record in the catalog

Hi Guys,
I have got sort of a puzzle I can not solve at the moment, maybe some one can help me to solve it. The situation in our system landscape is as follows:
Systems:
SRM 5.0 (Classic implementation scenario)
ECC 6.0
SRM-MDM 2.0
PI 2005
Material master is maintained in R/3 and the materials are replicated to SRM. From SRM we replicate all materials to the catalog repository in SRM-MDM.
As the material master in R/3 is vendor independent, the materials replicated to SRM also have no vendor attached. For the first initial material replication from SRM to the catalog SRM-MDM this also means that the products in the main table of the repository, u2018catalog positionsu2019, will not have a vendor or vendor number attached (i.e. no reference to a source of supply).
To assign a source of supply in the repository to a product (record) we will use info records which are replicated from R/3 to SRM-MDM. The mapping for this in the Import Manager can only be based on the product number. As this is the only unique value available which can map a info record to a already existing (but vendor less) ptoduct item in the catalog.
As long as every item in the repository has only one unique info record, meaning one source of supply with a specific price, there is no issue in the above scenario. Based on the product-id, the info record data will be matched with the material item in the catalog.
The issue for me arises when multiple info records exists for the same material. The info records can heave different vendors and different prices. All possible vendors should be available in the catalog for the same material (at least this is the requirement ).
At this point the product-id will no longer be an unique value. Importing the info records will cause problems, as only one material record is available in the repository for the specific product-id (remember that when doing a initial replication of the material master to the catalog, no vendor data is replicated).
Does anyone had this issue before, and knows a solution? Is it for example possible during the import of the info records in the Import manager, to duplicate material records in the destination data, based on the number of info records available in the source data for the same product-id. Or is there an other solution that I am missing?
Your help would be appreciated!
Regards,
Skander

How to Prevent/Control doing MIGO twice for the same material

Dear
The stores clerk by mistake has done MIGO twice for the same material. Is there any way to prevent/check the same in standard SAP? Vendor does not send the invoice/delivery challan to stores directly. Invoice is sent to Finance Department.
Regards

It is very unlikely that you could spec an ABAP solution to this problem.
You may be able to spec an exit that would prevent GR being carried out for a PO Item twice on the same day. But that is not infallible, as there may be valid circumstances when you would need to carry out two GR's for a PO item on the same day. A fix for a small problem that creates a large one is not a good fix.
You also need to ask how big this problem really is - if a user duplicates a goods receipt every once in a long while then you probably do not have a serious problem.
Rather than look at a system fix for the error, I would suggest that you look at what you can do to improve the physical process.

Email if Notification is created for the same material number

Hi,
IS it possible to get a email Automatically when a notification is created for the same material in last ___days/weeks.
Thanks
SM

Yes. Use the early warning system to send an eamil when ever the number of notifications exceeds a certain number in a given period time for a given group of objects.
You must have the info structures for QM in LIS activated for this to work.

Multiple BOM Explosion in MD04 for the same material

Dear PP Gurus,
Scenario is make to order. BOM is created for production usage (1) & sales usage (5) for a Header material. Routing also exists for the same.
Once i run MRP at plant level or material level after creating sales order , BOM is expoded multiple times i.e. 3- 4 times but proposals ( planned orders) are created as per requirements.But BOM explosion when we click on show overview tree is happening multiple times which should not happen.
Our client business is not getting hampered by this but still he doesnt want explosion multiple times and to be precise it should not happen.
Can anyone pls. throw some light on this .
Thanks in advance . Answers will be rewarded for sure.
regards,
Nagraj Vasmate

Hello Nagraj,
In MD04, On overview tree, it explodes all possible BOM for the header material.
System will explode all valid BOM's with usage 5 and 1 for that specific material.

Auto GR for the same material and with different routings to diff stor loc

Hi All,
I have a semi finished material having 2 different routings line 1 and line 2 and with respective 2 different storage locations but need to have Auto GR.

I'm not sure what you are asking; to cause an operation to do auto GR, you need to choose the right operation control key. The auto GR is controlled via the operation control key.
Then for the Slocs; on the production version (MRP 4 view) you have a field "receiving location". Maintain for each of the two versions the right location.
Next, create a new production order, and choose one of the production versions. Release, and do CO11N for the operation with the auto GR control key. See that it is received in the desired Sloc..

Adding quantity field for the same material number in Table control

Hello Experts,
I have an requirement, where I need to add the quantity field when the material number is repeated in a table control.
Here I show the pop-up message "Material already exists, do you want to add the quantity". If the user clicks on Yes I need to add the quantity.
I created the pop-up message using the FM " POPUP_TO_CONFIRM" and tried to add the quantity filed using COLLECT statement but I couldn't because my non-numeric field value will be different and it will insert new entry with same material in my internal table.
I have a z data base table & internal table with the below fields in it.

Extractor 0CO_PC_PCP_03: diferent costing runs for the same material

Hi, experts.
We are extracting data with 0CO_PC_PCP_03 extractor, but some materials do not return any record.
If we use CO standard transactions, we can get the values for all materials, but with the extractor just few materials are returned.
We are filtering the extractor with the costing run name and costing run date, but some materials are not extracted.
This is occurring for a specific month only. We have extracted data for other months / costing runs and the same materials appears in CO transaction and in extractor result. The different thing with this problematic month is that there are other costing runs of the same type (costing variant), for a higher date.
It seems like the extractor just can extract the last costing run for a material / month. Any idea?
Thanks,
Henrique Teodoro

Hello,
I have an update in my findings. Few days ago, R/3 user ran a new costing run for a set of materials, using the same costing variant / costing version used one year ago. And now, when I extract the costing run created one year ago, materials present in recently run set don´t appear anymore. I ran this same costing run weeks ago and the material are ok. After the new costing run with the same costing variant / costing version, they are gone from extraction.
Seems like this extraction just can return the last costing variant / costing version for each material. Or maybe the table key that stores this data are costing variant / costing version, instead of costing run / costing run date.
Anybody have any knowledge or experience on this?
Thanks,
Henrique

Consignment vs owned inventory for the same material/inventory (cycle count)

Hi All,
I am looking at ways within SAP that I could differentiate materials/inventory that are consignment and owned inventory...
We have a department that are experiencing difficulties performing cylce counts as they both owned and consignments parts and materials and it is currently done manually.
Is there a way for us to generate a single inventory that includes both owned and consignment in the same report?
Any help would be great!
Cheers!
Wendell

Hi Wendell,
If you have batch management and WM, this should not be a problem.. In this case, you should be able to identify where each batch is located and if the batch is consignment or own.
If not, then execpt you separate the inventory in different storage locations, the inventory could be mixed.
Anyway, I recommend you to move this thread to SAP MM:
SAP ERP - Logistics Materials Management (SAP MM)

HT204053 Can two different icloud accounts used for the same mac computer and same Itunes account still transfer photos and downloaded apps to all devices associated with that mac?

I purchased my wife an Iphone and we currently use the same icloud account, but we just ran out of storage. I'm not sure if we need so much more space that I'm ready to upgrade to 15 total GB of storage. If my wife sets up her own icloud account for her iphone will she and I still be able to share our photos, downloaded apps and music with different icloud accounts?

Apps and music aren't anything to do with your iCloud account, indeed you can use different ID's for each.
If you create and use another ID for iCloud, you will not be able to share both photostreams to the same user account on the computer.
This could be worked around with a second user account on the computer for the second user to do all their computing in. However you may find that photostreams shared albums will work around the problem for you. For example if you create a shared album and share it with your partner, any photos you add to that album will be available in your partners photostream on the computer.

L_TO_PREPARE_ITEM_INT batch split for the same material

Hello Gurus,
I use L_TO_CREATE_MULTIPLE to create TO.
if I leave empty charg number for one material line in FN VB_BATCH_DETERMINATION that is triggeredc in L_TO_CREATE_MULTIPLE batches are determined (without quantities) but I thought it is prepared for eventual batch split
But I suppose not as I have a problem when I put quantity greater that quantity on one batch the functionality L_TO_PREPARE_ITEM_INT does not split material into batches, does it mean that I need to split this quantity on batches before calling L_TO_CREATE_MULTIPLE or maybe something in customizing is missing?
Bests Bogumila

Hi,
I had a also used this FM.
When you pass the total quantity it will only return the batch which should be used first to fulfill your requirement.
So you have to keep this FM in a Loop and keep subtracting the proposed quantity and store it in a Internal table till it is zero.
Thanks

Ip sla operations with different keys for the same destination

Hi all,
the customer wants to use different ip sla operations for the same destination (ip sla responder). From the first source router he uses key key1 and from the second source router he uses key key2. The ip sla responder responds only for the first router which uses the key key1.:-( Is it a normal behaviour? Can I use different keys for different ip sla operations for the same ip sla responder?
See the configuration on the responder:
key chain test
key 1
key-string 7 *key1*
key 2
key-string 7 *key2*

If you're using one tunnel source you need to use one ipsec profile, unless you're running (a) p2p tunnel which you're not in this case.
While you MAY have some luck with sharing/unsharing among different interface I'm afarid it will not be ever mentioned as supported.
The situation will change with upcomfing 3.10 and 3.11 IOS XE releases (and corresponding IOS releases).

Is it possible to maintain the same material master

Is it possible to maintain the same material master with same code in all plants in a company. Our client is using same materials in all their four plants?

Material numbers are always maintained at Company code level. If you look at the Material master data, some data is maintained at Company code level, some at Plant level and some at Storage location level. If you have all the 4 plants attached to one company code, they should have the same material number. What you need to do is to extend the material to all the 4 plants if thats your requirement. Also, if you have your valuation area as your Plant, then you have the flexibility to maintain Plant specific pricing for the same material.
You can use MM01 T code to copy material from old plant to new plant. But check for the required details in your new plant and make changes accordingly
