Handling material with different spec.

Hello
We have a product with different specification. But I have only created 1 material number. How can I distinguish the product for different spec. in stock ?

Putaway Strategy I, not allowing second material with different batch

Hi all,
Can someone please help me to understand where is the problem
My config is
Strg Typ 401
Putaway Strategy I
Capacity check - 4
Mixed storage: X
Addition to existing stock: X
Storage section check -active
Storage bin created for the storage section in the storage type 401
Maximum capacity maintained in Storage bin
In material master WM view 1- maintained capacity.
When system is correctly finding Bin for First material / Batch combination
But when I am trying to create TO for same material with different batch it does not find storage bin - even the storage bin capacity is still remaining
Also it is not accepting second material in same bin.
The only requirement to have startegy I is that same materials can be placed in same Bins (sorry but dont need fixed bin)
Thanks

Hi Hiren,
You are correct I forgot to mention that in my earlier reply. Actually with out storage unit you can store only one quant in a Bin. So it can add stock to the same quant if we use addition to existing sock feature. If the material batch combination changes it cannot use the same quant, so it wont be able to add the stock to existing quant. If a new quant is to be stored in the same BIN it has to be storage unit managed. To in nutshell multi material multi batch your scenario can be achieved with storage unit managed storage type.
For storage unit setup you can refer below link.
Storage Unit Management - Warehouse Management System (WMS) - SAP Library
If you find this useful please close the tread.

Same Material with different itemcatagory groups

We have 3rd party manufacturers that make product for company and sometimes they send the finished product back to company and other times they will drop ship it to one of our customers.
this scenario we need to have the same material with different itemcatagory groups
i tried to create same material with different storage locations, but it's possible but the thing is when i change the item catagory group for the material , the same is applicable for 2nd same material, my requirement is i need 2 different itemcatagory for the same material, hope u understand my requirement
i will be expecting your possible replys.
Thanks & Regards
Venkat.Dhanemkula

Hi Venkat..
Please explain it more clear manner..
With whatever i have understand, i think you scenerio is manual 3rd party order processing.
In that case the material that you normally deliver yourself but occasionally need to order from a third-party vendor, you can overwrite the item category during sales order processing.
Keep only one material and specify the item category group NORM in the material master.
If, as an exception, you use a third-party material, change the entry TAN to TAS in the ItCa field when processing the sales document. The item is then processed as third-party item.
hope it helps you.

Tcode MB1B (Transfer Postings) material with different Valuation class

Hi,
is it possible to avoide tcoce MB1B for material with different valuation class?
Materia1 (001000) has valuation class: 3000
Materia2 (300000) has valuation class: 7900
I don't want allowed MB1B with Material1 (3000) to Material2 (7900).
Thanks.

Hi,
Yes, It is possible to avoide tcoce MB1B for material with different valuation class.

Follow up material with different base unit of measure

Hi all,
I have the BOM with material Mat1 as a component. The base unit of measure of Mat1 is KG.
Is it possible to replace Mat1 with Mat 2 material in MRP once the Mat1 warehouse stock is depleted.
The base unit of measure of Mat 2 is KGK.
The required quantity of MAT1 should be recalculated from KG to KGK accordanly unit ratio.
Please, expain, where does it maintain?
Thanks,
Peter

Hello Peter,
You can use follow-up setting (set Mat2 as follow-up of Mat1 in MRP 4 view of material master if this follow-up scenario is valid for all BOM) with discontinuation indicator '1', w/o effective-out date. In this case Mat1's stock will run out (no PldOrd, PR, etc) will be created, and from the date, when Mat1's stock runs out, MRP will calculate with Mat2.
As I told you, according to my best knowledge, you cannot realize this with different base unit of measures. (you have to change the buom of one of the related material masters or create a new material master if you cannot cope with buom-change).
Follow-up group scenario can also be used but I guess different buoms will be a problem in that case as well.
Maybe there are better solution but I'm not aware of it...

Same material with Different qualities

Dear Experts,
Please give me the solution for mentioned issue ....
I have to maintain the same material which has different qualities (grades) and according to these qualities, the material rate is different. i have near about 50 different qualities for the same material and 50 different rates.
My every vendor is supplying this material for 50 different qualities and rates. So in this case to maintain the individual material prices is big challenge.
If i will maintain Info records, i have to maintain 200000 info record. and also there is possibility of price change for every three months.
So please give me any other alternative solution for the problem.

How to Upload different Material with Different Selection View

Hello Experts!
Iu2019m new in ABAP and trying to understand methods of LSMW. Now I get a question for you guys. Let say I need to upload 10 different materials. Now for instance.
1st material has Basic data 1 and Basic data 2.
2nd material has Basic data 1, Purchasing and Purchase Order text
3rd material has Basic data 1, Classification, Purchasing, MRP 1, MRP 2 & MRP 3.
4th material has Basic data 1 & Basic data 2.
5th material has Basic data 1, Classification, Purchasing, MRP 1, MRP 2 & MRP 3.
And so on. Now here Iu2019ve notice that every material has different INDUSTRY SECTOR, MATERIAL TYPE AND SELECTION VIEWS. I understand that Industry Sector, Material Type and other data I can specify in my file but how I can control SELECTION VIEWS for different materials. Because for different Selection view coming screens will become different accordingly.
So can somebody can please tell me how I can control different select views for different material and upload it in SAP.
Thanks.

Hi
I understand that you are performing LSMW on MM01 transaction code..and are uploading through batch input in LSMW.
Actually, for a tcode like MM01 I dont think you should use LSMW, instead you can go with the BAPI: BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA.
The views is a serious problem with MM01 when performing using batch input..
So, go through the documentation in SE37 tcode for the BAPI...
The information you get there will help you on how to proceed.

Vishwa.

Material With Different Makes

Guys ,
The client where our Implementation is going on , has material like motors , pumps etc. of different makes like Siemens, Kirloskar etc. in his stock.
What I would like to know , should we maintain Material Master for different makes.
If I do that, than I end up making lot of Material Masters.
Kindly suggest solution

Hello Friend
This suggestion is from different perspective hence think which ever is viable for your requirement.
How about going with Split valuation using one material code
The SAP R/3 System allows you to valuate stocks of a material either together or separately, that is, according to different valuation criteria. Split valuation is necessary if, for example:
1. Stock from in-house production has a different valuation price than externally procured stock.
2. Stock obtained from one manufacturer is valuated at a different price than stock obtained from another manufacturer.
3. Different batch stocks of a material have different valuation prices.
4. Value damaged and repair part differently from a new part.

Material with Different grades

Dear Guru's,
Here in my client, for one material they are having 5 different grades based on the quality, Like A,B,C,D & E
How we need to maintain them in single mmr, because they are procuring @ different prices based on the quality.
My PP guy dont want different material #, based on grades, due to problem in BOM, can i maintain these grades in single mmr or is there any better way to manage this ?
pls suggest
Regds,
Channa

hi,
Use split valuation...by this you can procure same materials with different valuation type...
Split valuation refers to the valuation type on a material master. Typically, organisations will want to track material costs, for example, for new, used or repaired stock. The valuation type field on the material master allows you to track this stock separately, and specify what type of stock is being moved or purchased, and charge appropriately. There are follow-on effects, of course, in finance account assignments etc.

Handling files with different sizes of content (please help)!

Hi,
I have a written a program to tell customers how much certain apartments are to rent.
It asks the reader to input a floor number and the number of bedrooms in the apartment. I then returns the price.
The contents of the file look like this:
0 400 450 510
1 500 560 630
2 625 676 740
3 1000 1250 1600
the first column of numbers refer to the floor number (0-3) and the following columns relate to the prices of bedrooms. The first is 0 rooms, then 1 room, then 2 rooms.
So a one bedroom appartment on the 0th (ground) floor would be 450.
This program works perfectly for this set of data and returns the correct answer. What i want to try and do is make it work with different sets of data
e.g more floors and moree rooms. up to an unlimited number of both
Can anyone help me with this because im not sure how.
heres the code
import java.io.*;
import java.util.Vector;
public class FlatCost
    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException    {

        InputStreamReader reader = new InputStreamReader(stream);
        StreamTokenizer tokens = new StreamTokenizer(reader);
        Vector v = new Vector();
        while(tokens.nextToken() != tokens.TT_EOF)        {
            v.add(new Integer((int) tokens.nval));
            System.out.println(new Integer((int) tokens.nval));
        System.out.println("Enter floor number: ");

        System.out.println("Enter no. rooms: ");
        String line2 = in.readLine();
        int y = Integer.parseInt(line2);
        if(y > 2) System.out.println("Sorry, out of range");
        int numFloors = v.size()/4;
        int dest = ((x*4) + y + 1);
        System.out.println("PRICE: " + v.get(dest));

Material with different concentration in one storage location

We are working in a chemical industry that make caustic soda they are selling two material of caustic soda with two different concentrations (33% and 50%). Problem is that they move caustic 33% (one material) in to one storage location at the same time the move caustic 50%(second material) in the same material tank. In this way the concentrations of caustic change say 45%. If they want to increase the concentration they move caustics with greater concentration to make this stock to 50%. How to handle this situation. Every time the move these two materials in a same tank materials concentration changes.
Regards
Ahmed

Ahmed,
Can you please let us know,
1. Is your material batch managed? If yes would you have multiple batches in the storage location?
2. How is the material transferred to the tank? Is it through manual 311 movement?

MIRO, enter one material with different price

Hi Experts,
i have one PO and the material number is 20MTF70301, the quantitiy is 3. Because of the material price is different(same material number) i need the enter them line by line. For example;
Material                     Plant         D/C        Amount      Quantity
20MTF70301     1015     S Debit     1917,30     1
20MTF70301     1015     S Debit     794,55     1
20MTF70301     1015     S Debit     249,39-     1
But the system warning is like that "Double entries for material 20MTF70301 1015 are deleted". After this warning , system automatically delete last 2 line.
How can i enter same material line by line.
Thanks,

Hi
It will naturally delete the two last items, just understand, You have the same material same vendor but want to have 3 different prices in three lines in One PO, are you not contradicting the basic idea which SAP follows, how do the in-fo recoprd will get updated? with which price?
It is not that you can not do , but for that you have to go for another PO for a different price and the vendor but not in the same PO.

Creating a Material with different values for fields in Transaction MM01

Hello All,
While creating a material i will be giving a Profit Center in Sales:general/plant view, which i can see in Costing1 View. If i change this in this View it automatically changes in the other View. Is there any way to give different values in the two views or then what is the significance in showing the same field again in two different views.
Thanks,
Shashidhar.

Hi,
Its just a way of showing the data in different views for user. It doesn't have any significance.

India: how to handle material with excise inventorised?

Dear all,
following setup was planned for purchasing trading goods locally to depot:
1) Flag material as non cenvatable in J1ID and remove the Cenvat determination for the same
2) Create PO with this material using tax code deductable, no excise gets calculated as the material is non cenvatable
3) Do GR in MIGO without excise tab being displayed
4) Do J1IG for the excise invoice with real values so that RG23D gets updated properly
5) Do MIRO.
Problem is that in this setup SAP populates the excise values of J1IG in MIRO (in addition to base price already including excise tax) and tries to post the excise values to Cenvat clearing accounts independent of master data setup in J1ID.
Reason behind our setup is that we try to avoid to have so many tax codes in the system for deductable case as well as inventorised excise for trading.
Does anybody know if there is a chance to make it work as planned or is "doubling" the tax codes our only option?

HI John,
Please have a look at Plan driven procurement configuration in the classic mode?

Nikhil
