Fee Material Set up

Hi,
For material repairs, the vendor charges a 'Fee' which we may pass to the customer depending on their warranty status.
What is the material type I should use for setting up a material for 'Fee'? I need to put 'Fee' as a sales order line item and also need to create a Purchase order line for 'Fee' which is account assigned to the sales order line.
Sincerely,
Nicky

Hi,
If you really want to create it as a material, you can make it a non stock material type.
But as in a process used widely materials subject to repair should be split valuated, and the returned materials should be sent to vendor for servicing via a subcontracting PO, in your case you can keep them in a sales order stock, damaged materials can be valuated at a price say 0.01 and then you can easily manage the stocks of such materails along with the cost incurred.

How can I circumvent ATT's $50 a month fee to set up a personal hotspot using my iPhone 6?

How can I circumvent ATT's $50 a month fee to set up a personal hotspot using my iPhone 6?

AT&T does not do hotspots with unlimited data accounts. They are wanting you to change to a different account (I am assuming family plan) but there is no $50 fee per month for hotspot. You would be better served to go to an AT&T corporate store and do some rate comparisons.
There is no way to go around that limitation that can be discussed here. If you do stray elsewhere to do so keep in mind that if AT&T detects you going around the limitation it will get quite expensive.

Need material set up for material neither consumed nor replinished

Hi,
We have a requirement that we need to have a material set up for charging labor against sales orders created for after warehouse hours pick up.
So, this material will not be stocked, it is intended to be a virtual part number that is neither consumed or replenished.
Please let me know if you can throw some light on this.
Thanks & Regards,
Muppana Vamsi.

Hi Jürgen,
If we created material with material type Non-stock material,
1. will it be possible for maintaining Accounting tabs?
2. can we charge labor against sales orders created for after warehouse hours pick up?
3. the business process 'sales order -> Delivery -> GI -> Invoice/Debit memo' works?
Thanks in advance,
Muppana Vamsi.

Follow-up material setting - not to cancel PrdOrd

Dear All,
Let's say the situation is the following:
1. materialA is in a BOM as component
2. materialB has been set as follow-up material in the material master record of materialA, discontinuation indicator is '1', no 'Eff-out' date hasn't been set (and I do not want to set this date because we'd like SAP to calculate this date).
3. I have a PrdOrd for materialA and I see exception message '20' (cancel) in MD04 (SAP want this PrdOrd to be cancelled).
How can we achieve that SAP should consider this PrdOrd and calculate with it? Now SAP ignores (doesn't calculate with) this PrdOrd.
Despite the follow-up setting I have to force SAP to consider this because only in this way will we get proper results for the procurement of materialB.
I'd like to ask your help in this issue.
Thanks,
Csaba

Dear All,
Thank you for your help.
I think there's some misunderstanding.
It's clear to me that how to carry out follow-up setting and it's also clear what is the difference if I set it in MM or in BOM.
The problem is that I have a production order for materialA (the old material I want to replace with materialB) and because of the follow-up setting SAP doesn't want to calculate with it and SAP gives an exception message (to cancel the mentioned order).
If there were no follow-up settings there would be no exception message for this PrdOrd.
SAP calculates only the stock of materialA and when we run out of this stock the requirements are considered for materialB automatically. But I'd like SAP to consider not only the stock but the open order(s) also.
So, my question is whether someone knows how to handle this situation, how could I achieve that the mentioned PrdOrd would be considered. How can I solve this issue.
(If it were a PO the situation would be the same I think. I want to change from materialA to materialB with considering not only stock on hand but open PrdOrds also).
Thanks in advance,
Csaba

Lot quantity to order for a material set as reorder point planning

Dear All,
Suppose the requirements of a material are as follows:
Week1 Required quantity - 100
Week2 required quantity - 150
Week3 required quantity - 300
Week4 required quantity - 500
This material is set as "VB" (Reorder point planning in the material master)
My questions is:
Can we use periodic lot sizing procedure for a material planned based on reorder point planning , so that MRP run will consider the requirements of a month (1050) and use that as the lot size to order material.
We want to plan the material if it falls below the reorder level, but we want the system to dynamically calculate the quantity to order based on the actual demand (and not on either fixed lot size or maxmimum stock level).
with regrds
Laxmipathi.G.V

Hi
Use Anyone of the following
1. Use automatic reorder point with forecast planning requirment.Where ssytem will calculate reorder point automatically based on weekly /monthly Forecast req.In this case Lot size you can use EX itself.
2. Use Planning type PD and lot size EX and Instaed of ROL use safety stock so that system will consider weekly sale req. and also safety stock according to that procerement proposal will be created.

Problem with material setting

Hi,
When I enable 'texture' in an 'appearance', it seems that the 'material' property no longer takes effect. There is no ambient and diffuse effect at all. A directional light is enabled all the time in the scene. Could any one tell me why and how to solve this problem.

Hi,
did you set TextureAttributes? you should set mode for TextureAttributes either to "modulate" or "blended".

Material set to lot size TB not summing up orders when covering

Hello all. I'd appreciate any input on this problem we're seeing.
We have a material that has lot size set to "TB" (Daily lot size). This leads us to expect that demands on this material will be covered by purchase orders summing up all the demands for this day.
For instance we currently have 10 orders for 11. sep in different quantities from 1 to 3. Since the material is set to lot size TB we would expect to see a purchase order for 19 pieces which is the total.
But instead we get a bunch of small purchase orders, the system doesn't appear to sum up as expected.
Has anyone any ideas about why this may be so?
Regards
Simon Pedersen

Thanks for the answers so far, It's not letting us make much progress though.
The material is a trading good (HAWA). It has no BOM. The Collective indicator on MRP4 is not maintained (as far as i know it should not be since there are no dependent requirements involved). The demand is triggered by Sales Orders.
The purchase requisitions get generated by the MRP run based on these sales orders. That is what we don't understand, since the material is set to TB the MRP should make a single bigger order instead of many small ones.

Variable Size Item, Material Setting

Dear All,
I have a requirement, from users,
They want to use Formula as
ROMS1 * ROMS2 * ROMS3 * 1160 where 1160 is Density, and out put is Mass.
Material Should be issued in Nos/Pc in Shop and not in KG,
I want to know how this material to be used in System, Its BUM, Unit of issue etc..
Please help,
Regards
Raghu M
Edited by: raghu m on Nov 2, 2009 9:08 PM

Hi Raghu,
1. Maintain KG as BUM in material master for the component
2. Maintain alternative unit of measure for volume (meter Cube) and BUM (KG)
3. Maintain Default values for BOM in configuration (T-Code OS28) for Variable Size item as EA
4. Maintain Formula key in configuration (T-Code OS15) for the formula to be used ie ROMS1 8 ROMS2 * ROMS3 * 1160
5. While creating BOM give Item category as R for the component and give the qty, the system will pop up a screen for variable sizes. Enter Variable sizes.
Hope the above satifies your requirement.
Please try and revert back

Change the configurable material set against a ERP finished product

One of our users has entered the wrong configurable material against a finished product in MARC-STDPD. Is it possible to change this?
Thanks in advance

Hi Pherasath,
I'm not sure how changing the material type will help. What would I change it to and why? I need the material to be a ERP finished product?
I too have noticed the OSS note but wasn't totally sure that it applied to the issue we specifically have, do you think it does?

Production Order with follow-up material unble to save due to error CKBK009

Dear Expert,
When we apply discontintion/follow-up material setting, production order is not able to save. Error message "CKBK009 - No price could be determine for material.....".
SAP Help indicates :
"No price could be determined for material .......... Message no. CKBK009
Diagnosis :
The system could not determine a price for valuation view 0, because no valuation
strategy succeeded from valuation variant 006.
System Response :
Since the input quantity is zero for this material item, the costing result is not
affected by this error at the pricing stage.
The standard system defines this message as an error message. However, you
can use user-defined error management to specify that the message is a warning
or an information message, or that it is not issed at all.

Material Updates from ECC to CRM

Hi Experts,
We recently had application of Enhancement Pack4 on our ECC system. After the application EHP4 pack, we have started getting some material updates from ECC to CRM. And those updates are failing in CRM as we do not have any material set up in CRM. Due to these failed updates, lot of dumps are getting created in CRM. So can u please advice where/how in ECC i can restrict these updates to go to CRM. Any help in this will be highly appreciable.
Regards
Charitha

Hello Charitha,
In txnn:R3AC4 of CRM , check INACTIVE flag for object MATERIAL (and any other objects whose data is not required in CRM)
for your RFC destination (ECC).
This would prevent any automatic data flow for this object from R/3 to CRM.
Hope this helps!

Use of Sales BOM to force ATP against Bulk Material?

Background:
Our business was recently acquired, and we have migrated to the parent company's R/3 system. In our previous MRP system (R/2), we planned, produced, and shipped a single bulk Material ID in Trucks, Rail Cars, Flexi-Bags, and Iso-Tainers. In the new system, specific Material IDs are now required for each of these modes. However, we do not store the inventory in these modes, nor do we wish to plan at this detailed level.
Considered So Far:
Initial suggestion was to use A.T.O. to look through a BOM and automatically create production orders for each customer order. However, this seems to add additional complexity that we do not really need, and makes changing order dates more challenging (have to move both the order and the accompanying Prod. Order).
Desired Outcome:
Order is entered and priced based upon the mode-specific Material ID, but inventory is relieved from the Bulk material. In our previous R/2 system, there was a field on the material master called "Std.Prod." which stood for Standard Product Link. We used it for synonymous products where we produced and inventoried under one name, but sold under several different names. The customer materials were set up as type SALE and referenced the inventoried material, set as type FINI, in this Std. Prod. field. Thus, at the header level, the user saw the SALE material, but for planning and at the batch level, the system showed the FINI.
Options?
I am told that, due to the amount of custom coding and user exits surrounding outputs and interfaces to EDI and other external systems, the use of Material Determination would require too much testing and potentially too much development work. But, is it the best / correct solution to the problem? Because right now, I don't have the ability to perform ATP against the inventoried Material, so nothing confirms. Would the use of a 1 to 1 Sales BOM offer anything different?
Many Thanks in Advance,
J.P.

Hello JP
Material Determination (MD) works with Consignment orders, only you need to assign a MD procedure to the requisite sales document type in config ( TO code OV14). Product substitution, which is a specialized form of MD, makes use of special item cats like TAX and TAPS or TAPA and TAN for main and substitute items respectively, but you can always make copies of them and use them with consignment orders also in conjunction with item category usages like PSHP. PSEL, PSA1 and PSA2. There could be resultant issues, but unless you test you won't know them all.
Your second question about 'Sale would go against the finished good (Truck / Rail material) while the production costs go against the Bulk', brought a new realization in me. You are ordering, pricing and delivering Truck or Rail materials, but those requirements have to be converted to Production orders for bulk material, so from a Sales and Distribution (SD) point of view you don't need anything extra, therefore work with you Production Planning (PP) consultant to convert the requirements at PP end?? May be without resorting to MD or BOMs in Sales, you can work with your PP consultant and with standard config or custom development, you may realize your desired outcome.
Also as long as cost is maintained in the sales Material (Truck for example) with due regard to the additional costs in converting Bulk to truck, you should be fine. Follow the example below:
Standard cost of 1 ton , say X, is stored in Bulk Material master.
Now if there is no additional cost and you just load the bulk material into a truck and if a Truck is 10 ton, then Truck material would have 10X in its material master for cost.
But if there is some other material and/or labor involved in converting bulk to Truck and their cost is y, then you will have (10x+y) in your truck material. Also it is worthwhile to capture the additional cost in the Production/Assembly order via components and operations.
Your problem is not insurmountable, but you need to assemble a team of SD. PP, MM and CO experts to design an integrated solution for you.

How to determine the real (effective) Service Level ov a material?

Hello Experts,
I have Service Levels of for example 92% or 98% for a material set up in the material master data ( MARC-LGRAD ). This shall mean in reality, that I can deliver in 92% or 98% of the cases the needed goods in the right quantity. Only in 8% or 2% of the cases I can not do that. Maybe I have nothing of that material in stock to deliver or I only have not enough of it.
The Service Level is one of the aspects affecting the reorder point and safety stock.
No I want determine for my materials what the "real" Service Level is based on maybe the deliveries?
Is there a standard report of SAP to check this? If not: does anyone has some hints for me how to code it myself?
Best Regards
Manfred

Hi Manfred,
This information is a bit tricky, becuase you don't always have it in the business process.
One of easy sources, is if you plan for sales, then you can see both what was ordered versus what was actually delivered.
But if you plan for internal consumption, lets say somebody goes to the store, and if the material is not there nothing is recorded in the system to testify for that.

Mario

MRP for FG not looking at Raw Material

HI all,
I'm running MRP for finished goods material against my production plan (created in MD61).   The material has a BOM component but when I run MRP for the FG its not looking at BOM component to consider raw material) availability and thus proposing dates solely based on the Production Plan and not any other requirements.
It simple creates the planned orders based on the production plan entered into MD61. The dates for the planned orders don't take into consideration that on the suggested Production date there is not enough raw material to actual produce the product.
The Production plan does drive requirements to purchase the raw material but the dates are not neccessarily correct to get product to the warehouse on time for production run.
FG set up:
RP Type:                                PD - MRP
Lot Size:                                 EX u2013 Lot-for-lot Order Quantity
Safety Stock:                         125 - EA
Availability Check:                   02 u2013 Individual Requirements
Procurement Type:                   E - In-House Production
In-house Production:                 1 - days

Lot Size:                                 EX u2013 Lot-for-lot Order Quantity
Availability Check:                   02 u2013 Individual Requirements
Procurement Type:                    F - External Purchased

Planning Strategy:                   40 u2013 Planning with Final Assembly
How do I get the MRP for the FG to not only create the planned orders from the production plan but also take into consideration raw material availability?   Thanks for your help!!

VC,
I need to the PlndOrd date for FG to take into consideration raw material availability...otherwise it's pretty useless to the site.
I guess you are unfamiliar with the workings of standard MRP. MRP in ECC as delivered by SAP will not support this requirement.
There are a couple of assemble to order strategies that may be suitable for you, if all of your RM materials exist in the FGs BOM. Strat 81 and 82, which are intimately linked to the Sales order ATP check. These strategies are not compatible with FGs forecasts.
http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_06/helpdata/EN/41/19206a45fd11d188ff0000e8322f96/frameset.htm
In SAP ERP, MRP just does not check the availability of components during the MRP run. The Net Requirements calculation of a component part (which is the closest concept within MRP to an Availability check) takes place ONLY after all parent parts are completely planned, and all parent part planned orders have been already been generated and saved. In effect, when MRP is running, information is neither gathered nor considered as to what the planning situation will be for the components.
APO has several solutions that, depending upon the detailed requirements, might provide a solution. A common one is to first run an MRP type heuristic, to create planned orders for all the shortages, and subsequently run a 'Bottom-up' scheduling heuristic to bring supply and demand dates into alignment, based upon pegging information. ERP does not have this functionality.
Of course, SAP ERP is infinitely modifiable. If you have enough time and money, you can write custom code that will torture ERP into filling any Business Requirement.

MRP uses special procurement type L for material .ME174

Hi All:
   1 .When I tried to create PO for non-valued material using ME21N,SAP displayed message "MRP uses special procurement type L for material"- .ME174.
    (Non-vaued material is customized material type which has no accouting view and is supplyed by suupplyer for free.)
   2.I checked the material setting in MM03 finding that the Procurement type has been set as 'F' and the Special procurement has been set as '30'.
   3.I checked the SPRO finding that the setting as following path finding that Special procurement has been set as L.
    IMG > MM > Consumption-Based Planning > Master Data > Define Special Procurement Types
   So what other problem is with my setting or configuration for the creating PO?
Thanks.

Hi,
You may want to double check the customization entry for special procurement type 30. Do ensure you are checking for the correct plant and you have "L" maintained against special procurement in the details section.
If this doesn't help, a post in the MM forum - SAP ERP - Logistics Materials Management (SAP MM) could help.
