FM for Material Determination

Hi,
Anybody know if there is a function module that will return material determination information for a material, as defined in transaction VB11?
BR,
Tony.

Hi Anthony,
I am not sure but can you try with BAPI_MATERIAL_GET_DETAIL function module which determines details of a material.
You can find material determination details from KOTD series tables based on based on functional configuration.
Thanks,

  • Material Type for Material Determination

    Hi Expert,
    Is there any spesific/standard material master type for material determination on SD ?

    Is there any standard material type for 'Material Entered'
    Normal salable materials would be created with HALB or FERT and this is in no way related to material determination.  In fact, as everybody asked, if you can explain the business as to why you are comparing material type with material determination, may be you will get the right direction.

  • Copy control for material determination sub item

    I had created material determination sub item(TAPS) correctly on sales order, but when I use VL01N, the sub item does not copy into the outbound delivery.
    My item level of delivery copy control configuration (VTLA)  is as below:
    order requirement: 101
    item date: 110
    Does anyone offer some suggestion?
    Thanks!

    Our case is:
    standard sales order type "KB":
    item_number          item_category         material_number          Qty
    10                          TAX                         A                                  10
    11                          TAPS                       B                                    1
    12                          TAPS                       C                                    9
    but the result of  standard outbound delivery "LF" that I created from foregoing order is:
    item_number          item_category         material_number          Qty
    10                          TAX                         A                                  10
    20                          TAPS                       A                                  10
    I would like to know where the configuration should I make a modification for correct delivery to resemble the following:
    item_number          item_category         material_number          Qty
    10                          TAX                         A                                  10
    20                          TAPS                       B                                    1
    30                          TAPS                       C                                    9

    go to SE11: enter the table name CDHDR, click display
    Then press CtrlShiftF10 ( in the field OBJECTCLAS enter "MATERIAL")
    AND execute you will get all the changes made to the material
    you will get the change number
    then take number and go to table CDPOS & Repeat the same and enter the number in OBJECTID field & execute
    hope this fixes your problem

  • Function Module for material determination

    Hi All,
    Using Material determination technique we are forcing a material A to be taken as B.
    we need to use the same logic in other custom developed application, if anyone worked on similar requirement, wanted to know are there are any function modules which will return these results.

  • Free goods determination from material determination.

    Hi experts,
    I have one issue for you,
    My scenario is:
    we issue freee goods 1:1. i configured free goods setting and maintained VBN1 (condition records for free goods). i even maintained material determination configuration settings and maintained VB11 (condition records for material determination). The problem is system proposing free goods automatically when i process sales order without material determination list, if i go through material determination list system not determining free goods nor giving any message. what is the system behaviour if we go through material sustitution list to free goods. the  main item (for free goods)will be existed in the substitutiion list.  plez help. any suggestion will be highly appreciated.
    thanks,
    sada

    Hi
    Please consider the two issues separately. Don't club both the issues. If you have records for both material determination and free goods.,
    1. Whether the material substitution is happening perfectly (as per the records created in VB11) or not.
    Next.,
    2. check whether the free goods are determined for the material in the sales order line item (as per the records created in VBN1) or not.
    Please check and post the result.
    Sometimes the freegoods will be determined in the sales order but will not create any second line item(as sub item)  because while creating the records in VBN1 if you select the option 'Free goods Inclusive without line item generation. In this case NRAB condition type will be determined instead of R100.
    So, also check the conditions tab and see whether the entire quantity is priced or not.
    Thanks,
    Ravi

  • Material Determination use stock of discontinued material

    I am trying to determine if there is a way in R/3 to have a material replace an older material but as sales orders are entered take into consideration any inventory that might still remain of the discontinued material. Here is an example.
    1.) We have 15 EA of Material A in inventory in Plant 123
    2.) We are going to discontinue Material A and replace with Material B in this plant
    3.) VB11 Condition Records are setup for the A to B substitution for order entries
    4.) Order for 20 EA for Material A comes in
    I would like to see a requirement tp use the 15 from A that are still inventory and then place an order for the remaining 5 on the new Matl B (from Mfg or whomever provides).
    Is this possible using the condition records for material determination and the follow-up material options on MRP4 view?

    Hi Bill,
    This is possible using standard SAP functionalities.
    Now considrer a situation where you are creating VB11 record for material A(to be discontiniued) which is to be substituted by material B. And the need is to deplete the available stock of material A first and then start substituting it with material B.
    In order to achieve this, while creating a record in VB11 firstly create a record for replacing mat A by mat A , then double click the record line that you have created, which will pop up a small window giving you options to enter mutiple alternatives apart from mat A. where you can you can enter material B as the second alternative/replacement after mat A.
    The sequence of material is important to decide which material is considered as the replacement by the system.
    In our case system will first replace mat A by mat A and search for stock availability, if sufficient stock or no stock available it will replace the original mat A with the alternative material entered in the VB11 record i.e. Mat B.
    Another important thing to note while creating VB11 record is a check box available as "MRP Indiciator" now this indicator plays an important role while transferring requirement to MRP.
    In our case we have Mat A which is being disontinued so we dont want the requirement for mat A to be transferred to MRP incase of shortage, instead we want the requirement for material B to be transferred for MRP.
    In this case you need to check the MRP indicator box for Material B. if not checked the requirement for Mat A would be transferred to MRP.
    Hope this clarifies your questions.
    Thanks,

  • Tracking of Changes in Material Determination type or Material Substitution

    Hi Gurus,
    Can anybody suggest how to keep track of the changes made in VB11/VB12/VB13 which is for Material Determination type Maintenance?
    Is there any TCODE or tables for tracking the above changes??
    Thanks in advance
    VIJAYB.

    material determination is based on custom condition tables, that are created like one creates tables for pricing or message determination.
    Because of this, SAP cannot know that it has to track changes.
    You have to activate change records yourself.
    Go SE11, enter the table name of your substitution, then click the button for technical settings. in the lower part of the screen you will see a box that need to be flagged if you want log changes.

  • SAP SD material determination help...

    Dear Members,
    I have a scenario in material determination and I need your help.
    We have old product and we have to substitute it with new product. now we have to finish old product first from the inventory then we have to substitute with new product in the material determination. so how do I put this condition in the material determination.
    and also how do I substitute new material to the old material.
    I will highly appreciate if any one could help me with the detailed procedure for this.
    Thank you so much.

    Hi,
    please see this notes i hope it ill helpfull for you.
    MATERIAL DETERMINATION :
    This function is used in several business scenarios.
    Ex : l-40c product is discontinued so when we enter the material master.  L-40c we want system to swap the material number to alternate materials l-40F
    Business wants to introduce new product as alternate to the existing material l-60c and new product is l-60f.  Now system will not swap directly but issue a pop showing an alternate material is available whether it has to be selected.
    The user enters material xyz system will show a list of materials which are available for this particular specification (CUSTOMISED BY CONDITION TECHNIQUE)_
    Menu Path :
    Imgu2026 sdu2026 basic functions u2026 select material determination u2026 maintain pre-requisities for material determination
    Select maintain procedure.
    Select standard procedure A00001 material determination and copy as Z00002material dete.proc. and save.
    The procedure z00002 has condition type u201CA001u201D.  This condition type has access sequence = u201CA001u201D.
    The access sequence u201CA001u201D uses a table no.1 material entered
    Select assign procedures to sales document types
    Sdoc. Type     Procedure     
    Quotation      Z00002     
    Select your document type and assign the procedure.
    Select define substitution reasons
    Select new entries
    Substitution reason = Z1
    Description = old material by new material
    Entr4y = if activated will show the old material number also in the document relevant for output (communication to customer)
    Warning = if activated system will issue an alert before changing the material to new number ( to be used only in the case at  automatic swiping
    Strategy : Keep it blank for automatic swiping
    Save.
    Create one more substitution
    Z2     Alternate               A
    To test it create the condition records.
    Menu path :
    Sapmenu u2026. Logistics u2026 sdu2026 master data u2026 products u2026 material determination .. create (VB11)
    Material entered : the no.of material which is entered in the document.
    Material : here you have maintain the material number which is the replacement
    Enter the respective material numbers and then fill up the proposed reason (Z1/Z2)
    Now create the document and test the working of the function.
    Enter the material now the system will automatically swap the entered material with the another material number.  System will maintain the record of material entered.
    SECOND SCENARIO:     
    VB11 (SAME PATH)
    Maintain the proposal reason as Z2 material
    After we enter the material system will show the popup message showing the alternate material.  We have choice here either copy or continue with entered material number.
    Suppose you want to maintain more than one material as alternative material.  Select the line alternate or (F2) button.

    Hi Shah,
    MATERIAL DETERMINATION:
    A method to determine the material to be used in the sales order. Material determination uses the condition technique to swap one material for another when certain conditions apply. It is triggered by the material entered in the line item of the sales order.

    Material Entered: - Here enter the original material which has to be substituted.
    Material: - Enter the material with which we want to substitute the main material.
    Reason for Substitution: - specifies the reason why the system automatically carried out material substitution.

  • Regarding Material determination

    Hai All,
          I want to repalce a material with another material if the availability of the particular material is not sufficient.
         My problem is whenever i am entering the material in VA01 the the material which we have specified in VB11 is getting automatiaclly replaces eventhough there is enough availability for the material that we have entered.
          Whether there is any option for specifying the material determination should be taken place only after availabilty check.
         Could any one of you clarify my query?
    Thanks in advance,
    Regards,
    S.Jenibalet.

    Hi Jenibalet,
    The simplest way to stop replacement in case stock is available is to use the Material Determination Requirements along with functional call to Stock checking functional module.  Use VOFM and go to Requirements for Material Determinations. You can create your new Requirement which will go and check whether the material is in stock via using the Function module call to stocks and if stock exists then make the sysubrc = false and exit from the determination procedure.  This way replacement will not happen if the stock exists.
    Thanks

  • Missing material determination analysis

    Hi
    In sales order, checking the material determination analysis but I don't see any analysis.
    Is there any customizing step to check material determination analysis?
    Thanks

    Analysis for material determination must be enabled to utilize this functionality.
    In sales order, you must do this to activate material determination analysis.
    Go to menu bar, select Environment -> Analysis -> Material determination -> On
    In brief, material determination is not automatically enabled in sales order.

  • Material Determination BAPI

    Hi ,
    Can any one let me know what is the BAPI used for
    Functional module =SD_Material_Determinations.
    BAPI for Material Determination?

    Hi!
    I don't know the details of article replacements, but in general: that's the way it should work.
    If there is no stock or some other article blocks (no sales period, X-chain status...), then the replacement article should come into the documents.
    Also a creation by BAPI is no exception from business point of view - it has to follow the same rules as an online creation. OK - your customer requirement is currently different.
    But if the creation should be with article A, then the replacement customizing (also for online creation) has to be adjusted.
    By the way, isn't BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2 up to date?

  • Material determination reports

    Hi Gurus,
                  Do we have any reports for material determination?
    Like how many times material determination has been used?
    Thank you
    ANil

    Hi anil
    I suppose there is no standard report for material determination .May be you may have to create user defined report through LIS.
    But your requirement doesn't work with the smartforms. As we use smartforms mostly for the output determination purpose
