Difficult question? - 2 substitute material number for 1 real material??

Hi Experts
In our company,for some specail requirement,we want to have two material numbers for one real
material,that means this two materials are substitute for each other. In every transaction, we can
use this both two material numbers.
For example,material number "A123 " and "B456" , these two material numbers are for one real
material, In evevry transaction we can use "A123 " or "B456".For exmaple ,we can create and release
a production order to produce"A123",and when doing goods receive for this produciton order with
MB31,we could use"B456" for the same production order. And also when we view the stock for "A123" in SAP,we could get the the sum stock of "A123" and "B456".
Is it possible in SAP?How to achieve it?
Thanks for any reply!

Hi,
In standard SAP it is not possible, You have only two options,
1. Maintain Single material and use split valuation.
2. Maintain two different materials and do material to material transfe as and when required.

Need billing number for a real person that can fix problems

I got Fios a few months ago. A new account was set up for Fios but I'm still being billed for DSL. I've been trying to get the problem fixed for months. The first month they credited back the Fios charge. The second month they said they would send someone out to make changes to transfer my copper line number to Fios but the person never came. I've called several times after that to get the problem fixed. This month they turned off Fios so I paid to have it turned back on in addition to paying my phone and DSL bill. I've been on the phone several times for hours with people that can't do anything to help so they transfer me to others or tell me to call back the next day because their shift is over or the person that can really help me has different hours. If anyone has the phone number to someone that actually fixed a convoluted problem, please message me. I'll go postal if I have to explain my problem to another series of people that can't do a thing to help me.

Different material number for SD and for PP MM

Hello
Does sap provide a functionality to manage different material number for SD and for PP MM:
We produce and stock material A . We want to be able to sell material A and B. For MM (stock) and PP, B = A but for reglementation, we need to print on the delivery document caracteristics stored at the material level.
We don't want to substitute B by A on the sale document and we want that the stock of A beeing reduced by sales orders of A and B.
Thanks
Simon

Simon,
Iu2019m not aware of any way to manage the same thing using one material number in MM/PP and a different number in SD.
What makes B different from A? From your description it sounds like itu2019s the same thing with different characteristics. Without more info itu2019s difficult to offer solutions to your problem but Iu2019d start by looking at classification and batch management so you can differentiate differences between materials based on characteristics captured at the batch level.
If you provide a little more info about the products perhaps I can help.

Emergent!! Two alternative material number for one same real material???

Is it possible in SAP? How to achieve it that one real material have two different material number??
And how to manage these two different material number??
Thanks for any reply!!

Fei,
The requirement can't be absolutely mapped in SAP.
The reason is the logic behind this is wrong.
May we know why do you want to maintain two separate codes for one real material?
We have option of batch management as well as split valuation to take care of your requirement.
Evaluate these things.
Hope this helps you.

How to find Change number for a Material

Vaibhav

Hi Vaibhav,

Delivery number for a material document posted

Hi experts,
I need to delivery number for the material document number posted,
I tried to use the field XBLNR from the table MKPF
but i see that the feild is empty in the case of inbound delivery
why is it so.
How ever i can get the data from VBFA ,but can any one tell me the reason why XBLNR is empty in case of inbound delivery.
Thanks a lot in Advance.

Hi,
If you do GR w.r.t. Inbound Delivery No in MIGO then it will not update "Reference" field i.e. XBLNR.
To update same with Inbound Delivery No, you have to do "Post Goods Receipt" from Inbound Delivery Document itself in VL31N or VL32N.

Will someone PLEASE help a desperate woman by telling me how to talk by phone to a real person at apple support. Cannot find an answer to my question and cannot find a phone number for support.

I set up my new iPad under my daughters ID because her's is attached to my email. Tried to rent a movie from iTunes. Said I had to answer security questions since it was my first purchase. She didn't remember the answers. So it locked. She reset her password and everything works on her iPad but on mine it still wanting answers to the security questions and we don't have the answers (her questions could have multiple answers...favorite teacher, favorite friend). Is there a way to completely disconnect from her ID or can someone please share the phone number for customer support with me? Thanks so much in advance!

Providing you know your ID and password, you should be able to rewrite your security questions. Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account > password & security.

Where do i find the reference number for my preorder? and yes i no this is prob a dumb question but i cant find it anywhere......

Hi droidboy52999,
Your email won't have the same confirmation number as it was ordered over the phone. You will need the last name used for the order, the location code (this ends in 01) and an order number (five to six digit number). Please keep us posted if you need further assistance with this.
Thank you,

Hi VJ,
Two different number range for serial No might not be possible in this case but there are some possible way in doing it.
Please check the following points
1) In your present process dont assign any external serial no . Just click on automatic, system will be able to generate one internal number. However in this case serial no will be in the sequence of that material.
2) If you are ok for syncronization with the equipment no and serial no you can have different no range of serial No.
     Since you have two different serial no profile and you can assign two different equipment category and 2 different category can have different no range.
It just the work around . Think about it whethere it is feasible to your business.

Serial number for non stock material

Hello,
I would like to create a serial number for a non stock material (material type NLAG) (PO with account assignment catergory K) and I receive the following error message during the goods receipt (transaction MIGO) :
*Movement type 101 does not currently support serial number management*
*Message no. IO306*
*Diagnosis*
**With the help of * under the business operation, the entry in table T156S used here under movement type 101 defines that no serial numbers are supported here.**
*System Response*
*Termination of the transaction called up.*
Is there somebody who can help me with this problem please ?
Thanks a lot in advance for your help.
Kind regards,

Hi,
I'm not familiar with Serial Number Management but I guess you can apply it only to materials with stock.

Hi,
Revision number generation is using ECM only possible. Are you using the ECM with revision levels. Check this.
