How to avoid special stock indicator for intercompany sales transitions.

Hi Friends
I have an issue Intercompany sales .if I  enter intercompany plant(Delivering plant) in the sales order system is taking special stock indicator and looking for sales order stock.
If I enter company code plant for sales from unrestricted stock, system is not taking special stock indicator.
Please advice how to avoid special stock indicator for intercompany sales transitions.
Thanks in advance.

Ravi,
Special stock is generally determined by the MRP strategy group in the material master of the plant against which you place your order.  The strateg(ies) contained in the strategy group will determine the SO requirements type, which will in turn determine whether or not the order is 'account assigned' (special stock).  
It is normal to only have one strategy contained in a strategy group.  However (and I seldom recommend this) SAP will support multiple strategies within one strategy group.  In this case, you could have both MTS and MTO orders against the same plant/material, by manually altering the requirements type in the sales order.  This scenario is usually difficult for a planner, and involves additional manual attention to make everything work.
I suggest that your first avenue is to change the Strategy group in the material master of the delivering plant to one that supports MTS.  This has a big impact in Controlling and in Production Planning, so ensure that all affected functional groups are aware of what you are doing, and of the resulting changes that they will experience.  The transition from MTO to MTS must be carefully controlled.
If you are not a PP expert, I suggest you consult with your local PP expert before embarking on this change.

  • Special stock indicator for the sales order (VBAP-SOBKZ=)

    Dear All,
    I am getting a warning message while making an initial entry of stock with Mov.Typ : 561 and Special Stock Indicator (E), i.e., "The special stock indicator for the sales order (VBAP-SOBKZ=)is different from the special stock indicator in the goods movement.
    The system is allowing to post the initial entry of goods but when I am trying to do a PGI, it is throwing an error saying that, deficit of stock in the specific storage location.
    Can anybody help me out with this problem ?
    Reward points shall be awarded.

    Hi Indrajit,
    Please post the stock with Special Stock Indicator (E), and againest sales order and item.
    Go to MB1C transaction enter Movement type,Plant and special stock indicator E.
    After that you enter Sales order Number and Item then save the document.
    Noe you try to do PGI,
    I hope it will help you,

  • How remove Special stock indicator for dialog in PO componet overview

    Hi
    I am creating production order with reference to the sales order (MTO) after creating the production order in component overview special stock indicator is default value is u20181u2019, plz any one suggest How remove Special stock indicator for dialog display in production order component over view, I have already maintained in MRP 4 Dependent requirements ind. for individual and coll. Reqmts as u20182u2019
    Thanks
    Mohan M

    Did you maintain the indiv/ coll indicator as 2 after the creation of planned order / production order? If yes, then re-create the order & then check.
    If not, then check in BOM Item details if you have maintained them to be as individual.
    Check & revert.

  • Special stock indicator for component in process order

    Hi,
    There is a field in process order where we can maintain special stock indicator for component.
    In this filed if we define consignment stock, then the vendor field becomes activated, where the vendor can be given.
    Now we want to maintain the data as a master data so that whenever process order is created the sp stock indicator as well as vendor are populated for that particular component.
    Q - where to define this master data. I could not see such fields in BOM?
    regards,
    Mohit

    Hi Sunderesan,
    Thaks for responding. Even by doing this system does not propose special stock indicator as '3' in process order & even vendor is not proposed.
    My requirement is that system should propose '3' in special stock indicator in process order.
    Request to look into this.
    regards,
    Mohit

  • CO07 and special stock indicator for components

    Hello,
    My final purpose is to be able to call components from project stock in production orders without header material, created in CO07.
    I notice a strange behavior and would be glad to recieve some explanations.
    Production orders are assigned to a WBS. If I indicate the WBS in the CO07 selection screen, the special stock indicator for the components is determined as expected:
    If view MRP 4 for the component says "Individual requirements" then special stock indicator is set to "Project stock"
    If view MRP 4 for the component says "Collective requirements" then special stock indicator is set to "Common stock"
    Second scenario is that I don't provide the WBS in the CO07 selection screen, but provide it in the assignment tab later. In this case, the special stock indicator for components will always be empty (common stock) by default, without any possibility to modify this manually.
    Is anybody able to explain me why?
    Merry Christmas to all.

    Hi!
    Actually it is not related to SAP Manufacuting Execution solution - so you'd rather re-post the question to ERP-related forum. This can help you find a proper one.

  • Change component level special stock indicator for Purchase Ord-through CIF

    Hai,
    my requirement is to change the the spoecial stock indicator at the component level for the PO .
    The purchase reqqusition is available in APO system.At the time converiosn to PO, the PO will get created in R/3 through CIF.
    When the Purchase Order is getting saved in R/3 then I need to check the component level Special stock indicator(SOBKZ) & I need change its value.
    I am currently using the user exit 'EXIT_SAPLCPUR_001' to change the same.in this user exit, I am changing the component level SOBKZ in the table IT_INPUT & I am also setting X in IT_INPUTX table.
    But the changes are not reflecting in the newly created PO.It always shows the value 'E' for SOBKZ.
    can any one tell me is this the right user exit to change the above value? if yes please expalin me in rdetail on how to change this.
    Thanks,
    Bhaskar.

    Hai Saurabh,
    I have tried changing the CP_POSITION-SOBKZ field in the user exit EXIT_SAPLMEPI_006.This one changes the SOBKZ of the item of PO i.e, the change reflects in EKPO table.
    What I am looking for is to change the Component level SOBKZ of the ITEM of the PO.The change reflects in RESB-sobkz table.
    I think,  In the User exit EXIT_SAPLCPUR_001, the field IT_INPUT-SP_STK_IND is meant for this.But this is not working.
    Please inform me how the RESB-SOBKZ can be changed?
    Thanks,
    Bhaskar

  • Special stock indicator for components

    Hi,
    For a configarable material a sales order is created which in turn creates a production order. Now in this production order for some materials i find that in component overview of production order indicator SP is 1 (Individual customer stock). This happens only in some orders for this material. i have checked the below points
    1) Individual collective indicator in material master MRP 4 view for this component is 2.
    2) Stock for the component is more that 1000 pieces in unrestricted use which is more than the orders for this material..
    3) Planning strategy for this material is 40.
    4) Availability check considers the safety stock.
    5) BOM Explosion type in customising is not considered in item overview of this component in the BOM.
    The issue raised by the customer is that as it comes as a special stock so a purchase order has to be created for this material and till then it is showed in shortage by availability check.
    Regards
    Sameer.

    Hi,
    There is no change in the material master sinnce last year. The customer is removing the special stock indicator from production order manually, but he wants to know why this is happening.
    Also checked the purchase requisitions created for this component and they have account assignment M and are pegged directly to the sales order.
    Best Regards

  • How to populate Special Stock Indicator in IW31/IW32

    Hi SAP experts,
    I want to populate the <b>Special Stock Indicator</b> under <b>Components Tab</b> automatically when user presses ENTER in T.Code <b>IW31/IW32</b> based on some condition.
    Thanks in Advance.
    Help will be rewarded.
    Gaurav

    Gaurav,
    You want to do it during a Call txn BDC or write your conditions as an enhancement?
    Assuming that it is a Call Txn BDC, all you need is an additonal field in your input file for the stock indicator, with 'X'. Also, you will have to call the screen & tab (dynpro).
    Correct me if I got it wrong.
    Reward if helpful.

  • Special stock indicator in the OD (goods movement  data tab)

    Hello SAP Experts,
    I would like to ask on how the special stock type indicator field (LIPS-SOBKZ) in the outbound deliveries, under the goods movement data tab, can be populated? For example, with stock type indicator E.
    Are there any configs or master data settings that allow the population of the stock type in the ODs? I'm just wondering why we have some ODs (replenishment deliveries) that are having the special stock indicator E, but sometimes, this field is empty. I would like to know what are the factors that allow the special stock type indicator field to be populated.
    Thanks in advance!

    On the SD side, the special stock indicator on a delivery line item is copied from the sales order line item.
    And the special stock indicator on the sales order line item is determined from the item category.
    If you are referring to the MM side of things, (and based on your description of the use of the 'replenishment deliveries you might be), then there probably are corresponding configuration on the MM side of things.

  • Authorization Check for Special Stock Indicator in IE02

    Dear Gurus,
    Would like to check with you if there is an authorization check for change in Special Stock Indicator in IE02-SerData Tab?
    For example, the User will only be allowed to change the Special Stock Indicator only to "E" - Sales Order.
    Would appreciate your help.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    This cannot be done by using standard auth object. Standard SAP doesnt support control via this field.
    Take help of your ABAP team and create an customized authorization object "Z_OBJECT" with field SOBKZ and which check these field value in table EQBS. Assign this auth object to role and profile you want.
    Use the user exit IEQM0003 Additional checks before equipment update. Give a logic to check auth object when while using equipment change tcode.

  • How can I enable the Special Stock Indicator in the source list?

    Hello Gurus,
    How can I enable the Special Stock Indicator in the source list? This can be found in the Maintain source list detail screen, source group and beside the order unit. Even I am in the create or in change mode, still the indicator can't change
    Thanks!

    OSS note 668764 explains that the special stock indicator field is a display only field and cannot be changed in the source list. it is only taken over from a scheduling agreement.

  • Work Order  - Update special stock indicator in components tab

    Hi ,
    The requirement is to update the special stock indicator in the components tab of work order based on material number. I tried using the BADI Workorder_update but there was no changing parameter in it and hence it did not work, I also tried using the field symbol option to explicitly change the value but that too failed since it went to short dump prompting that a protected field is being changed.
    I am thinking of calling a custom function module at last and updating the value, but for the orders which are being created newly the BADI / user exits contains the temporary number . How could I get the Order number and update the indicator for those orders.
    Regards,

    I used the EXIT_SAPLCOMK_014 to accomplish this.

    from where i can remove this setting.
    Pls note I had Checked the SO Item Category, Schedule line, Account assignment cateogry and the Delivery item Category, but couldnt trace out this Setting.
    If any one knew about it, then let me know.
    Regards,

    Dear Sheo singh
    Special stock indicator is set only in Item category with regard to SD that is in VOV7
    You can also check in the requirement class details in OVZG
    For this you need to find out what is requirement type maintained in your sales order in VA02 procuremet tab
    In OVZH you need to see what is the requirement class assigned to your  requirement type
    In OVZG for your requirement class details you can see whether any special stock indicator is maintained
    But here also the value flows from what is maintained in VOV7
    Hope this information helps you
    Regards
