Duplicate material codes weeding
Hi all,
How to weed out duplicate material codes based on description.
Regards,
K.Prem Kumar
hi
Seems you are into retail project. I have faced the same problem which we solved by following process
If you are good in EXCEL then this may help you. You have to use Office 2007 for this
As you know how to get the material list and download to excel then you have to use function called as PIVOT in excel which will help you to sort out unique description
in PIVOT table make columns as DESCRIPTION and MATERIAL CODE (SAP CODE) you will be able to see the 1 DESCRIPTION and all codes against that description, after that it depends on you which codes to be kept n which is tobe deleted
Before you go for deletion, do stock transfer from 1 material to another material USING MB1B and movement type 309 Transfer posting material to material
The quantity is posted from unrestricted-use stock of the issuing material into unrestricted-use stock in the receiving material.
Prerequisite: both materials have the same stock keeping unit.

Problem regarding Duplicate Material Codes in SAP
Dear Xperts,
In our manufacturing plant,we are not using Split Valuation for same materials procured either from the domestic or from the imported Vendor.Even they are not using the same for the materials received through free of cost or through proper payment process.They are using two material codes and for this data redundancy occurred.Now they want to club the same into one material code but do not want to use Split Valuation till now.
They want the following:
1. For domestic Vendor they will follow Purchae Order.
2. For international Vendor they will follow Schedule Agreement.
3. They want only Delivery Schedule to be generated through MRP.No Purchase Requisition will be generated.
But how to proceed.Is it possible?
Plz advice.
Regards,
SoumickHI,
But is it possible to generate only Delivery Schedules thru MRP?Means not to generate PR if we use both PO and SA for same material but for different Vendors?
PR not generated for scheduling agreement only schedule line will generated as per define schedule in scheduling agreement
ME31L = to Create SA document type LA or LPA
Me32L = to change SA
ME38 = to maintain delivery schedule
assign scheduling agreement in source list ME01 and select indicator 2 MRP relevant and in material master in purchasing view select JIT indicator
MIGO = to enter GR against SA
MIRO = to enter IR against SA
check following link
[MRP To Generate SCHEDULE LINES for Scheduling Agreement;

Hi MM Experts,
Let me know how to avoid duplicity of material based on material descrition?
I want that whenever new material is created we should have tool to check based on the material description to avoid duplicity.
Thnx
ACHi,
few line of ABAP code in enhancement MGA00001 will solve it.
You can use this customer enhancement for the material master for the following purposes:
To extend existing checks
To add checks for customer-defined fields
To change data (certain limitations apply here)

To avoid Duplicate material entry while making sales order by VA01
Sir / Madam,
While making sales order by VA01 , duplicate material also accepted by system .There should be no duplicate material in sales order list.
please suggest solution.
Thanks.Hi,
You should use userexit USEREXIT_SAVE_DOCUMENT_PREPARE in MV45AFZZ and not USEREXIT_SAVE_DOCUMENT,.The reason behind this is prepare userexit is activated just before saving the document,so at the time of saving if the logic which you will give is not satisfied then you can set warning or error in the code.

Hi Experts,
I have a Z-table for a gatepass report which was already created by another developer. This table has many fields including plant, year, material code field. (MATNR) etc
Now the problem is in SE11, I run the table to display the entries, when I enter plant and year and execute many entries are displayed.properly including material codes(e.g.50008536).
But when I execute the same entering plant, year and material code(e.g.50008536) then this message is displayed. " No table entries found for specified key"
The same thing happens if I am writing a select query in my report to get the data of any particular material code. My internal table is not filled with the data including that particular material code.
Some more info :
1. The material code field in the Z-table is assigned the standard material code Data element. i.e. MATNR
2. Even if I enter '000000000050008536' as input it is still not working. it is automatically changed to '50008536' after executing.
So please help me where the problem is? I have spent alot of time on this but not able to find the problem..
Thanks,
Vishal .Hi Vishal,
Hope I understand that table content does not starts with zero for material, reply me if i am wrong.
Use this code before where condition.
loop at so_matnr.
CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_OUTPUT'
EXPORTING
INPUT = so_matnr-low
IMPORTING
OUTPUT = so_matnr-low.
if so_matnr-high is NOT INITIAL.
CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_OUTPUT'
EXPORTING
INPUT = so_matnr-high
IMPORTING
OUTPUT = so_matnr-high.
endif.
MODIFY so_matnr.
endloop.
if table content is filled with zero use FM conversion_exit_alpha_input

Material code is not coming in MF60
Hi Experts,
I am facing a problem, I have released a production order for 40 nos of X fg. X Fg is having a child item i.e. A Qty 1 in one X. but when I see mmbe of A. 50 Nos is showing in recpt reservation tab. Probably this the reason, the material code A is not coming in MF60. But I have checked in MB25 and MB26 there is no reservation is pending.
I want to know, why material code A is not coming in the MF60. When I change the quantity of X to 60, then in mf60, requriement of A 10 nos is coming.
Kindly throw some light.
Regards
GRDear G R,
Check whether the stock of material A is sufficient so as to make X in that particular production storage
location in which it's required to produce X.
Also under global settings--->check box for include all requirements give an impact in the output of
MF60.
Also check whether is there any Recpt.Reservation for A in MB25.
Check and revert back.

Old material overwritten by new material code in Product cost collector
Hi SAP Gurus,
How can I work around if a product cost collector with material XXX has been overwritten by a new material YYY when creating the KKF6N.
Both material code having the same plant, same orde type,same production version but just different material code.
When saving the preliminary costing for the product cost collector for material YYY, the system prompted me the order number 700022 which is already existing and created for material XXX.
By right, this shd not be happened but indeed it did.
Now when displaying the report S_ALR_87013127 - Order Selection, the report showed the new material YYY was created with order number 700022 but the content of the data was for old material XXX.
Now my problem is how can I get back the product cost collector for material XXX as the original order number 700022 was meant for material XXX and not mat YYY.
And also when executing backflush (MFBF) for old material XXX, the error msg prompted as 'content of order 700022: Mat YYY transferred to interface (IMSEG):Mat XXX due to this I can't backflush material XXX.
Really appreciate your expertise on this urgently.
many thanks!problem due to system bug, have to log to OSS for help.

No link between PR material and PO Material code.
Dear Gurus
My industry is textile industry , here issue is that when MRP run it is giving auto PR based on BOM , but when purchase department is received PR , they start analyzing material the material requirement , they check in stock any raw fabric is there or not , if available they send that raw fabric for subcontracting (for dying) then after dying sent for other different operations, and then required material as per PR is ready......
Now my problem is how to link this auto material PR to different subcontracting PO... because management need report based on what was the material required and why purchase department is not able to provide it on time. please guide me....
Thanks & Regards,
AkshayDear Sir ,
I can not maintain special procurement key as 30 in MRP 2 view as it is not at all conform how material will be procure directly or by subcontracting...
if i do like that in PO manually change ilem catagory L , but the is possibility that to get right material as per PR purchase has to do more that 2 times subcontracting at different vendor ....if this is the case the material code in PR and PO defiantly different.... will SAP support this that PR and PO item is different?
Thanks & Regards,

Sales Order Schedule Line Alerts by Material Code
Hello,
We have a need that I am not sure how to handle within SAP. We record a number of important notes on each of our materials in the Internal Comment section within Material Master. When a person is selling an item, hence puts it on a schedule line of a SO, they are suppose to review this comment. As you can imagine due to the effort that is involved with this process it is often not done and errors occur. I was wondering if anyone knew of a process that would show a pop-up with the contents of the Internal Comments or a way to define a pop-up that we can specify information by material. This pop-up would appear after the material code is put on a line - either before or after ATP is performed.
Thanks,
KentDear Praveen
Dont maintain the storage location 0003 in MMSC. Also, in material master, you dont maintain the "Delivering Plant" so that you will have to input manually in sale order. If Plant is not flowing automatically in sale order, your storage location will also not flow.
thanks

Excise invoice for price difference required with material code
Hi
In my scenario, we have charged less amount to customer at the time of sales.
For ex: Sales order was prepared for Rs.10000 and relevant excise duty was (@ 10% was charged). We did delivery and billing. We issued excise invoice as per Rs.10000 and relevant excise duty on it.
But actual basic price is 10100. We will charge Rs.100 and we have to charge relevant excise duty on it. However there will be no material movement.
1st i posted Debit note to customer with FB70 with following entry:
Customer A/c.. Dr 110 (100 + 10% excise)
To Sales A/c 100
To Excise Paid A/c 10
Then i went to J1IH and gave FB70 document reference. Following entry was posted
Excise Paid A/c... Dr 10 (This amount i gave manually which is OK)
To Excise Duty Receivable 10
Now my doubts:
1. How to credit Excise Duty Payable in J1IH. Which transaction type i need to check for it (DIEX or OTH, etc)
2. How should i take print of excise invoice (for above J1IH). My material number should also get printed on invoice. But i am not specifying any material in J1IH
3. 2. Can i create separate transaction type and then use it to J1IH. If yes then how to create and assignHi Tanveer
I did following steps based on you input
VA01 - Created Debit Memo no. 3
VF01 - Billing Number: 130012001 and accounting document number: 100000248.
J1IS - Clicked on create icon. Entered billing number 130012001, transaction type as OTHR and other CIN related details.
It went to next screen. In that screen manually gave material code, units assesable value, chapter id, Basic Ex duty, Ecess and SHEC.
After giving it gave prompt: Excise Duty will be recalculated. I clicked on YES.
Entire line item got deleted and nothing happened.
Please help how to proceed in J1IS with above mentioned data. Which all field needs to be filled in J1IS.
Please help.

Excise invoice tab for without material code
Dear all,
I have created a PO with vat Condtion TAx code.
There are 5 line items are there in this PO. There are no material codes available for this 5 line items. all the line items are account assignment related items.
While doing GRN its asking the erro messgae like enter excise i nvoice no and date.
That too its not asking for all the line items. some items its asking some of them items its not asking the excise invoice.
j1id i have checked without material code and plant one line item will be maintianed.
But my doubt is why its asking excise tab for the items. That too only one item why its not asking the excise tab.We are using TAXINJ so there is no chance to go for material group wise.
In j1id also i have removed the without material code one chapter id was maintained.

Material Code with Different profit Centers in One Plant
Hi Experts,
There is one requirement in my project that given in detailed below please:
Material code Plant Profit Center
MSR009 2011 2011
2012
2013
one material code, one plant and 3 profit center,. the material should trigger with different profit center from sales order to revenue booking..
So is it possible to map that configuration in SAP, if yes please guide me
Thanks and regards
MadhuHi,
Profit centre is trigured through
Material master
Company code + Cost element
When you create sales order it id derived form material master if you maintained in material master
Else at the time of invoice creation and account posting it is derived from company code + cost element combination(Which is mentianed in OKB9 by FICO people)

Having Multiple Material Codes with Different Profit Centers in one Plant
Hi,
Can someone explain me what impact it will have, if there are different Material Codes with multiple profit centers in a single plant? For example, say Material 1 has Profit Center as PC1 and Material 2 has Profit Center as PC2 and they are in a single plant. Will this have impact on Financial Transactions?
Thanks and Regards,
Sameer JoshiHi Sameer
No negative impact.. It is very much possible and logical
All the purchases made - > Stocks and vendor liability will be tagged to the PC of the Material
All the sales made -> COGS, Revenue and Customer Liability will be tagged to the PC of the material, unless you overwrite using a Substitution
