Finished product as packaging material

Dear experts,
Plz help. Many thanks.
Background: Product A is finished product and can be sold. Meanwhile, it can be used as packaging material for another finished product B. However, only B has selling price as customers only buy B.
Q1: Can product A be maintained as packaging material and finished product as well? Any impact on accounting?
Q2: If answer for Q1 is yes, can product A be used to create sales order together with B? You know, product A also need production. Production department want production requirements from sales orders (say Tcode MD04). Meanwhile, they're required to pack B with A before warehouse receives B.
Q3: If answer for Q1\2 is no, how to solve?

Hi Cathy,
You only need to do the normal packaging material related masterdata maintanence and configurations. I created a query long ago and was answered by many people on packaging. I am giving you the link. Please go to the thread to know how to enable packing. Using this set up, you can do multilevel packaging or any kind of packaging you want.

Normal sales doesnt need any explanation here.

MIC's of finished product should get transferred to Semi-finished product

Hi all,
I have the following requirement
Based on the Customer requirement, sales order will be created. Two line items will be created in the sales order.
First item: 100kg
Second item: 5 kg (this will be the sample to be sent to the customer for approval)
first item and second item will have different material codes.
Now the process order will be created,released and confirmed. 04 inspection type will be activated for the material.
The MIC's of the finished product ( A) should get transferred to the semi-finished product (A1)
For X customer the MIC's for finished product (A) is a1, a2 and a3 and same should get transferred to semi finished product (A1 )
For Y customer the MIC's for finished product (B) is b1, b2 and b3 and same should get transferred to semi finished product (A1 )
The material code for the finished product will be different, but the semi-finished product (A1) will be same always.
When ever inspection lot gets generated the MIC's of the finished material should get transferred to semi finished product
Kindly provide your valuable inputs to address this scenario
Regards
Hari

I think I understand what you are attempting to do. The bottom line is that you are trying to use one material number to serve as the "sample material" for all your products. Lets call the sample material mrtrl# 9000122.
You have a make to order process so you first create a process order for the product and inspect it according to the customer's requirements. You make the UD.
Now when you make product A, you want those characteristic MIC values to copy to the sample material 9000122 inspection lot which is created from a separate process order using product A as the raw material.
When you make product B, you want those MIC charcteristic values to copy to the same sample material 9000122 to an inspection lot created from a separate process order using product B as the raw material.
I am guessing the intent is to keep the batch number the same between the FERT product batch number and the sample material.
I would like to suggest to you two other alternatives which I'm not sure will work for your design but I think it is worth a try and might save some work.
1) Have you looked at setting up your sample product as a by-product of the first process order? You can confirm the finished qty and the sample qty from the same original process order. This will then create your two 04 inspection lots. You would recrod results on the first primary product. Then enter results recording and I think you'll be able to have that set up to copy over the resutls from the primary product. If you can't with the standard SAP, I beleive you'll find the ability in copy inspection results to add your own custom FM that would do the copy for you that you are looking for.
Of course the inspection plan for the by-product sample will have to have all the characteristics in the plan that could ever be expected from any primary product using this process.
2) The other possibility would be to just have the person making the UD on the primary inspection products inspection lot, to post a sample qty "to other quantity". They would always of course post to the sample material. If the characteristics in the lot match up to general characteristics in the batch class for the sample, the resutls will be transferred to the batch. Report your sample reuslts from the batch record and the specs from the inspection lot in the COA.

STO for semi finished product along with returnable package

Dear Experts,
I am transferring semi finished product along with returnable package from Manufacturing to depot, for that i am creating purchase order (two line items in po, one is semi finish and other is returnable package) and creating delivery through VL10B.
system creates delivery, showing the item category NLN for both line items i..e semi finished and returnable package and billing(vf01) is coming for both item.
my requirement is billing to be only semi finished, returnable package should be update only qty billing should not coming for returnable package
for that which item category have to maintain and where it maintain for returnable package and how it flows from mm to SD?
Regards
sai krishna

The packagings material master record should use the material type VERP for packaging and the item category group LEIH. The item category group LEIH is the SAP standard for returnable packaging.
TAL (the item category for returnable packaging) in the shipping unit
header, then when you create the delivery, SAP will also create an item TAL for that shipping material in the delivery. When you goods issue the delivery, SAP will record that this shipping material has been issued to the customer and must be returned. Note that you only have to price the returnable packaging in the returnable packaging issue order document. It does not need to
be priced in the sales order and cannot be in this method.
Check if this all ok, rest please note returnable packaging material behaves in same way as packing material

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?

Hi Experts,
Our client manufactures Steel Products where basic Raw Material is Steel.

Material Valuation for Finished Product in Production Scenario

Dear SAP Gurus,
Kindly recommend appropriate Material Valuation Control for Finished Product in manufacturing scenario. SAP recommends pricing control 'S' (Standard), but my client's buying nature is not periodic(varies), they buy material on requirement basis (On actual material consumption ) which is very frequent. Pricing for each buy also changes due to the market conditions. You are requested to suggest me appropriate Material Valuation Control (either S / V) for Finished Product along with reasons, advantages & disadvantages for the same.
Thanks,
Shantanu

Hi Alll
Well one disavantage in material with 2/V for production consumption is in case of incorrect goods receipt, incorrect price for example, all your consumption will be wrong.
For correction you would have to reverse all production posting, correct the goods receipt and repost the production confirmation.
If you were using 3/S configuration, all consumption would be done in standard price and at month end material ledger would calculate the actual price for price revaluation. People from MM would have time to correct the entries during the month.
Regards.

Billing of Finished Product (TAN) and DIEN Material

Hello,
There is a requirement by a user that a finished product and a service material needs to be invoiced together in a single invoice.
The dien material has an item category TAD.
Please let me know the configuration steps to achieve this requirement.
Alternatively any other options to meet the requirement.
Thanks

In Std system settings, System settings, it will not allow to create single invoice by combining order related & delivery related items. To achieve this you have to fine tune copy control settings, but i dont think its feasible solution. just because of this one requirement changing the control , instead for this requirement if you can have seperate document types, then hope you can achieve this.
Play with copy control settings in invoice split criteria, copying requirements & reference number.
For initial testing, Maintain the above fields as blank & run a test cycle.
Update the results in forum.

Multiple finished product from one ram material

Hi Everyone,
I have a scenario like from one ram material there are multiple finished products are produced. For example,
they are procured the nuts with the shell and its seperated from shell by performing an operation. At the time of operation the nuts may be brokern into small pieces. They have some specification so based on the classified the finished product. How can i map this scenario in sap.
Thanks very much

Look at by-product and/or coproduct funtionality.
You can specify that certain byproducts can be produced. These can be received as other FG materials or semi-finished good materials,
See this link:

Dear All,
How to get the raw material and its corresponding finished product link from SAP.Can you please provide the T code (if it is there) otherwise please provide the logic.
Thanks in advance
Regards,
Rubin Luke.

Hi
You can verify any material at plant level from SAP standard table MARC using SE16N Tcode.
else use MM03 display material - before entering the material press F4 and choose plant material selection and enter your plant you can see all the materials for that plant. then you can choose your required material
then using the transaction CS15 - material where used list
youu can find the FG materials for which thise material is used as component.
in CS15 enter the material, flag Direct and flag Material BOM
Hope this helps

Single raw material with output of 2 finish product

All,
In our scenario, we have the pressing machine which have the dye to create the right and left bumper of the car in a single stock . if we give the single raw material , the ouput will be two finish products 1. right bumper and 2. left bumper.
while confirming the order, how we can get two fert?

Create Left Bumper And Right bumper as FERT, Maintain a co product Indicator for Both and maintain Joint production details in MRP 2view ( ex 50 % for Left bumper and 5o % for right bumper ) the cost will proportioned accordingly
IN BOM
Create a BOM for Left Bumper
and maintain component as raw material with qty
and Right bumper as 1- and maoinatin co product indictor in item detail
ANd save
WHile doing GR in MB31 System will propose Both Left and Right bumper with 101 movement type.

Packaging material is not appearing in the Goods receipt of STPO

Dear All,
We are currently dealing one Roll-Out project for one multinational company. In that from sales side, one of the main processes defined is u201CStock Transport Purchase Order processu201D. As a regular process, outbound delivery document also created with ref to STPO.
As per the client requirement the u201CPackaging materialu201D needs to be added as additional line item in the delivery to calculate the packaging cost. This packaging material is a "Stockable and Valuated" material. So while performing the PGI the stock will get reduced from SD side.
The problem is, using this same STPO delivery document the Goods receipt is planned to do in the another side of company code. while doing the Goods receipt system is displaying only the "Finished Product" only. The packaging material is not displaying while doing the goods receipt in the another company code.
due to this we are not able to complete our test cycle.
so we need the expert opinion to solve this issue.
if the packaging material is added as additional line item while doing Goods receipt then, the problem is solved.
Kindly suggest us...
Regards,
MANI
frWe have customized that also and now u201CPackaging materialu201D is adding as a new line item in the delivery document as a non valuated material.
But the issue is, the Billing type u201CZICu201D is not getting determined while creation of billing if u201CPackaging materialu201D is added as a new line item. If u201CPackaging materialu201D is not added as a line item then, billing type is getting determined automatically without any issue.
We have checked in LIKP table, its containing the billing type as u201CZICu2019. But if packaging material is added then, the billing type determination is not happening.
We are assuming that some customizing needs to be done from MM/SD point of view. I am seeking the experts help regarding this issue to solve the problem.
Regards,
MANI

Dear Friends,
Thanks for the Feedback.
Even though it is a associated company, in one company code the packaging material stock was reduced and packed for the STPO shipment.
After receiving the consignment, in the receiving company code they will perform the goods receipt with ref to "Outbound Delivery" document.
Since in the outbound delivery document "Packaging material" also available. So as a business strategy we are expecting the same "packaging material" also should available for goods receipt.
I hope i have explained with max of my knowledge to clear your doubt.

Urgent:Material Type for Packaging Material in WM and MM

Hi
There is a place in SPRO where i can define the material type for packaging.

In T.code: OMS2, you can get standard material type list.VERP is the standard material type for packing material.You can copy VERP and rename to ur material type( as it is ur business requriement or else u can use same VERP)
What is the use of material type here?
With the help of ur Material Type , u can craete material like The material type,will be used while defining the material
master.At that time,in Tcode:MM01,first screen we need to
mention,(material type)it show the nature of material
ex:-engineering product,finished products,semifinished
product,etc.,
It also play vital role on material numbering,material type in comination with plant & valuation class, play vital role in inventory & accoputning.
To Create Material,use t. Code: MM01,
Step-1
Enter Material Code: ( example-Polythene Bag, If External Number Range or leave it blnak)
Enter Industry Sector: ...................
Enter Material Type: ..........................(VERP- Packing)
Step-2
Select
Views you required( like eample:basic data-1, like basic data-2,purachsing, purchase order text,General plant data, accounting-1, accounting-2 etc)
Step-3
Enter Plant,
Enter Storage location
{{{Enter Sales organization & Distribution channel(if sales view selected)}}}
Step-4
You will have views like (example-1, basic data, enter Base unit of measure, material group and other details as required field,example-2,Accounting data, enter valuation class, price control; S or V & price)
Step-5
Save.
Note: Before creation material you must know which Industry Sector, Material Type ur going to use and material numbering is internal or external.

In HU02 (or HUMO) give all three HU numbers (for the boxes) in tab 'Pack HUs' and press enter. Bottom half of the screen shows all HUs that may be packed. Select all and press 'New HU per x HUs'. You will be prompted to enter the packaging material for new HUs while displaying packaging material for the existing HUs. Select as appropriate, enter number of existing HUs to be packed onto this new HU (3 in your case) and enter.
