Direct material planning

Dear all,
In what basis the following requirements will be created.
1. Dependent requirement
2. Purchase requisition
3. Schedule agreement
and also would like to know what are the key fields in Material Master is deciding alll these three? Pl. clarify.
Regards,
K.V.Manikandan

Hi
Dependent Requirements : During the planning run, dependent requirements are only created for BOM items that are relevant for production (This is defined in the item status by ticking Production relevant). If there is sufficient stock then system will not trigger Procurement Proposals and when we convert the Planned order of the Main product to Production order these Dependent requirements will be converted to order reservations
Procurement Proposals : If there is no stock exists for the components then either Planned orders, Purchase requisitions/Schedule Lines will be created during planning run depending on MRP control parameters and Procurement settings
If we look at MD04 screen of a component after running MRP for the higher level product, we can see both Dependent req and Schedule lines based on stock situation
Pl refer the SAP link for more details on Dep req

How to use the direct material indicator in Plan Driven Procurement?

Dear Experts,
How the system determine the procurement as direct material procurement in Plan driven scenario? In case of manual shopping cart, the system determines the direct material /indirect material procurement based on the check box 'Order as direct material'
indicator.
Now in case of plan driven procurement, where the requisition comes from ECC system, there is no way to indicate in the MM system for direct material?
Could you please enlighten me here?
Thanks and regards,
Ranjan

Hi Ranjan,
In case of manual shopping cart, system at that point does not know whether the material procured has inventory management maintained or material valuation. Hence we need to specify option of 'Order as direct material'.
But when requisition is created in ECC system, SAP system already is aware of direct procurement since material used will have material master / Inventory management / Material valuation / Storage location etc maintained. And the info or some indicator will be sent to front end SRM system accordingly.
Moreover it does not really matter for front-end SRM system to check whether it's a direct or indirect procurement since all procurement processes followed in SRM will be exactly same.
Hope this provides some kind of understanding for your questions.

Assign direct material cost to value field in copa while issue to Prod orde

Dear All,
My requirement is like this:
There are some 16 material groups from A to P each containing some materials(finished goods).
I want to allocate overhead to different material groups(Charecteristic in copa) in COPA using the periodic assesment cycles. I am able to allocate overhead(admin & sales cost) to different value fields in copa from different cost centers.
I want to analyse the product cost and also the profitability of each material group in COPA using Report painter. Iam able to pull all the costs which i assign to value fields using assessment. But, i am NOT able to get the direct material cost which is issued to production orders using BOM.
My question is whether we can assign the direct material cost to any user defined value field(material cost value field) while the material is being issued to production orders. Is there any automated way where we can directly assign the direct material cost to value field in copa while issuing the material to Production orders.
Pls explain me whether we can do it. if yes how?
Thank you very much in advance.

PA is a Profitability analysis tool. That means it gets updated when a sale is made, not before. (Except for settlements and assessment of overheads.)
Goods issues for production gets updated in CO-PC, and needs to be analysed there. If you don't, you loose all the inbuilt tools for variance analysis, cost estimate comparisons, Wip Calculation etc. To the best of my knowledge, a Profitability Segment cannot be used as a cost object in Production Planning, because amongst others, you need to be able to capitalise the produced materials to stock at the end of the production run, or to WIP at the end of the Financial period,which is not possible with PS.
Similarly, overheads are recorded in CCA and needs to be analysed there.
If one goes against these big groupings in SAP, you always run into problems.

Direct procurement & plan driven procurement

Hello experts,
i have the following basic questions -
1- is the local PO in extended classic scenario contain Purchase org info? how the Purchase Org is determined ?
2- is Direct material procuremnt can only be used in case of Extended classic scenario?
3 - is Local Purchase group is mandatory for plan-driven procurement ? can i assign the entry channel to a Purchase group which is linked to R/3 Purchase grp ?

Hi,
for 2) direct material works like an ext. classic scenario. However it is not exactly the same since ECS could have accounting assignment where direct material excluded that.
for 3) Local purchasing grp is mandatory for direct material and ECS scenario. Other than that, it is not required. The user can exists anywhere in the org structure as long as a responsible P.Org and Grp have been assigned for that user.

Backend Source of Supply not supported for Direct Material in SRM

Hi ,
When creating S/C or PO in SRM for Direct Material , backend Source of Supply ( i..e Purchasing Info Record or Backend Contracts ) not availble to select as a sourc of supply .
In our case, we are planning to maintain the sourc of supply (PIR or Contracts) in back end MM system only , then how can pick up the same ?
Can anyone please suggest on this .
Regards
NAP

NO Prashanta,
It is still pending for me . i just raised OSS message to SAP ...but SAP saying that
" I checked and found that in the classic scenario , Direct Materials cannot use backend contracts. The behavior described above is in accordance with the system design. Only local sources of supply (local contracts and interlinkages) can be
used in the direct material scenario, as well as as in the extended classic scenario . Therefore the above error message which you get "Specify a valid contract" is valid."
I replied with the doubt that "Thanks for reply but we are not convenience, since what we learnt from
different SAP Blogs, Below SAP help and SRM Experts discussion forum
is, for Ext Classic Scenario (since for direct materials it always
tales by default Ext Classic Scenario, although we implemented Classic)
Local SRM contract and Supplier List are the possible Source of Supply.
As per SAP help documentation for Self-Service Procurement (Extended
Classic) on below link
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_srm70/helpdata/en/e0/f6be5157a24340bf7b1279854a52e1/frameset.htm u201CYou can assign the sources proposed by the
system to items automatically (for example, if there is a single
contract for the item being procured) or manually in the case of a
quota arrangement, contract, or supplier from a supplier listu201D
As per SAP help documentation for Sourcing Using Supplier Lists on
below link,
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_srm70/helpdata/en/d8/33ec56f17f4404806072749f7e764f/frameset.htm u201CIn supplier lists, you can also manually allocate
back-end contracts from specific systems. This enables more effective
sourcing for back-end contractsu201D
In the Supplier List there is facility to enter the ECC Contract
Number. Supplier List donu2019t support local SRM contract. It supports
only ECC Contract /item.
As per your reply, do you mean to say that Source List is not a valid
Source of Supply for Direct Material in Classic Scenario (i.e. Ext
Classic scenario)? If not, then why the backend ECC Contract displays
as a Source of Supply, when we check the u201COrder as direct Materialu201D?
Kindly suggest"
Lets see.what SAP now replies.
Simultaniously I'm looking some enhancment

SRM MM-SUS for Direct Material ( i.e. Ext Classic Scenario)

Hi Friends,
We are planning to have the Classic Scenario in SRM 7.0 with SUS. So it will be SUS-MM scenarion and it supports only for Classic Scenario,
But when there is a case of Direct Materials [ Manual or through PDP ( Ext Req) ], it is SAP by defaullt setting that , system determine Extended Classic Scenario.
Now , if SUS-MM supports only to Classic scenario ,then we can collaborate the Orders of Direct Material genereted through Ext Classic Scenario in SUS ?
Confused over these contrast . Can any one suggest that how to get both one in SUS-MM ?
Thank you in advance.

Hi Alex,
Thanks for reply.
It seems here is some confusion. PDP of Dircet Material is standard SRM secarion where we can soure the requieremnets generted in various SAP Module like PS, PM , SD, APO..etc. So We just hav eintenstion to source the requiermnet in Sourcing cockpit to create the PO .
Okay. For time being , forget the PDP of Direct Material.
Just take the Direct Material ( For which we mention inventory or we procure for stock) only.
By SAP standard / defualt setting , for Direct Material , local PO is generted ,althoug we have mentioned Classic Senrion setting for the same . And it is Extended Classic Scenarion. Right!
At another side , it is SAP standrad that SUS-MM senarion support for only CLASSIC SCENARIO.
Then , my conern is how we can send these Local orders for dircet Material to Supplier via SUS ? Wether it is not possible ?

Different follow-on document created if 'Order as direct material' ticked

Dear Colleagues,
I have a product category Q4334104 replicated from backend system Q43 (clinet 341). The sourcing is never carried out from this product category. Secondly, target system configured is the same as the source system Q43 (client 341). BAckend object defined is reservation if the item is subject to inventory managed otherwise purchase order if the item is complete else purchase requisition.
Now, coming to my scenario, when I create a shopping cart with free text item, it creates a purchase requisition in the target system which is fine.
Now, I take a product belonging to the same product category but inventory managed. So, When I create a shopping cart in SRM with the tick 'order as direct material' , I expect it to create a reservation in the target ERP system. But the system behaviour is confusing here. It tries to create a local purchase order in the SRM system.
Only after unticking the option 'order as direct material, the system creates a reservation in the target system which is the expected behaviour here.
Why different behaviour is observed when 'order as direct material' unticked?
Secondly, the system takes a particular document type for the local PO although different values are assigned to the transaction type 'DP_PROC_type".
Full marks if you can help me to understand the above system behaviour.
Thanks and regards,
Ranjan

Hello,
The direct material scenario is technically similar to the extended classic scenario, at first the system will create a "local PO" in the SRM system (with the document type BUS2201) and the system will copy this PO into the backend system with the document type BUS2012.
The extended classic scenario works if the purchasing organization and group are local and not linked to backend organizations and groups.
The purchaser user is assigned to this organization.
Please check the settings for the direct material scenario in the link below:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_srm40/helpdata/en/8d/f6a93e08503614e10000000a114084/frameset.htm
Plan Driven Procurement - Direct Procurement: Process Flow
In extended classic scenario or when ordering as direct material, the system ignores the responsibilities defined in the organization structure.
A local purchasing group is determined, instead of the defined in the organziation.
So, classic scenario cannot be used with direct material.
Kind regards,
Ricardo

Forecast material plan & material reference in notification

Hi Experts,
How can I analyze the breakdown due to material shortage & how I plan these material in future so no such breakdown will b come in future.
For that I create once object part in notification as material shortage & create breakdown order there I reserve material ,so I got all breakdown data from IW66 with reference to that object code but system cannot show for which that breakdown come.
Again I created one notification type for material shortage there I take reference object Equipment number & material number but there also system cannot accept material no in notification. The warning msg come as material will b directly copy fr equipment no.,but mtr code not display in notification.
How can I map these scenario.
Thanks & Regards,
AVI DDS.

Dear
You can Map this by Using User Status in Order , No Need to Use Notification ,
Create 2 User Status ,
first One As "Material Available" , Make this As initial Status.
Second One as "Material Shortage" ,
Assign this to ur Order type , whenever you Create Order , Order will be having this "Material Available" as initial User Status , if you find Material is Shortage , Manually Set second user status "Material Shortage".
Whenever needed Run IW38 , In Variant Selection select "User Status " , filter it to display Order with user Status "Material Shortage " , you will get Orders with shortage .
Using this Order Number , In IW13 get all the Shortage Material & Plan for Next year
You Can Use User Status in Notification Also

Error in Order as direct material with PPS activated

Hi,
Using SRM 7.0, EHP-1 activated PPS. Before activating PPS direct material scenario worked fine. After activating the PPS I getting the following error.
No account assignment exists; enter an account assignment.
Created new account assignment category and assigned that in u201CSet Default Account Assignment Category for Direct Materialu201D. Even after that also I am getting the above error. Please suggest where I am doing mistake. Only for down payments purposes we activated the PPS. Now SRM system is only working for purchase orders with account assignment and getting the above error immediately after pressing on order as direct material. I am not able to transfer Purchase requisitions also. In SLG1 getting the above error.
Please suggest what to do.

"order as direct material" indicator is not coming in Shopping Cart.

Hi Experts,
I am trying to perform the employee self service procurement for a direct material. I have performed the below config and attribute maintenance.
1. Defined a new transaction type and new number range for local PO in SRM Config
2. In R/3 Back-End, for the same document type, I have ensured that number range is present
3. For my Root Organization, I have added "DP_PROC_TY" for "Transaction Type: Create PO manually" maintained with my above transaction type defined
4. I have selected my local P Group and added 001 Product Category with R/3 Back-end system as source system in "Responsibility" tab
After that I have started created Shopping Cart expecting to find "Order as Direct Material" indicator in Shopping Cart details.
But I could not be able to see that indicator in Shopping Cart. What I see is Product Category 001 but different P Group is coming.
Is this the reason, what I am missing. Please help.
Thanks & Regards

i commented the code in METHOD PRODUCT_CHECK . but still i'm unable to see that button on SC screen.After bringing that button on to screen we need to check for Direct and non direct materials, if it is a non-direct material and trying to press button Order as Direct Material it should hav to give some error.
please help me.

Could you please let me know how to get the planned cost and quantity for production order components for report development. i checked other tables like AFPO and AFKO and it is showing only for main material and not for its compoen

Hi,
You can check the cost of the individual components in Bill of materials of each material seperately. Hope this works for you.

Source of supply doesnu2019t work for SC items ordered as direct material.

Hi there.
We are working in SRM 5.0 with classic scenario.
We are doing a SC with material code.
We create a SC with two identical items. The only difference between items is: one item is order as direct material and the other one not.
The problem is that for our item order as direct material, the system doesnu2019t propose any ECC contract or any ECC info record. But for our item not order as direct material, the system propose us ECC contract and ECC info record.
So for SC items orders as direct material, the system never proposes any source of supply.
However, in transaction BBPSOCO01 (Carry of sourcing) the systems propose source of supply OK for SC items with and without direct material.
Any suggest?
Thanks and regards.
Raúl.

Hi,
The issue might be because when you choose, 'order as direct', the scenario changes from classic to extended classic, hence only local contracts are proposed in this case. Since you don't have anything local, you will not see any source of supply. Try using bbp_sos_badi instead and call all backend contracts using fm meta_sourcedeter_getsos_multi.

Sanjeev
