Identifying Critical Maintenance Storeroom Material

Hello, We are currently using ABC indicators for identifying critical Material in our Maintenance storeroom. Is this the best way to do this or is there a better way of identifying slow moving, critical, Maintenance Storeroom Material? We would like to exclude critical Material from our slow moving material reports.
Thanks.

Hi Yocomo,
You can built custom classification objects fields in Material Class type "01".
Here you can create custom entries like Vital,Essential,Desirable,Obsolete,Insurance etc.
These can be defined at company level/plant level.Decide characteristics accordingly,and configure the system.
This will help majorly for reporting purpose.
Please go through this link for examples on how to do this:

HI ,
check note 487111.
According to this note
Symptom
In the planning data mass maintenance (MPGD_MASS), you select the "Conversion" field (UMREF) and enter the new value e.g. '2,01' and save the change. In the log of the mass maintenance, the system issues error
MK101:
....... : Messages have been issued: number MASS............
Detailed display of error message:
Message number BF 020
Value cannot be interpreted as a floating-point number. Other terms
Reason and Prerequisites
The problem is caused by a program error.
The symptom occurs if during the maintenance of your own user profiles, you defined "Comma" for the decimal notation (Transaction SU3).
Due to a program error, the system saves the value of the field to be changed program-internally in the exponential display with "Point" as the decimal place (2.01E+00).
Solution :
You have implement the solution mentioned in the note .

PR from Maintenance Order - Material Purchase

Dear Experts,
Likewise we can generate Servide PR against Maintenance Order, also it picks service data frrom Maintenance Order....Similarly can we generate PR for Material Purchase against Order also it should pick Material from component that we have enetered in Maintenance Order ..is it possible??
Thanks
DM

Hi
Deletion of PR from Maintenance Order is not possible because the PR is created automatically
This PR will get deleted automatically when you cancel//teco/complete the order
Otherway around is you can always block the PRs

Preventive Maintenance Plan Material requirement forecast

Is there any way I get to know what whether the materials included in Tasklist of maintenance plan are available or not , Just like forecasting or material requirement planning.
Regards,

I dont think this is possible. You may have to extend the standard simulation program for scheduling to include the Components. You will also have to call the material availability check FM to analyse the demand for the required date.
Even then there is no guarantee for material availability when the Order is actually called.

Reg. price maintenance in material master and Costing

Dear Experts
I have maintained price for material in material master and costing,but when I create PO price didn't come from anywhere. Pls help me.
Thanks
Rajakumar.k

Dear Rajakumar,
The values that are maintained in the material master in costing view is considered only for costing
purpose.
Say while doing the cost estimate for a material using CK40N,a costing variant will be used and say For
Eg,PPC1,for this a valuation variant will be linked ,as per this valuation variant for costing purpose the
first priority would have been given to the planned price in the material master in costing 2 view.
So this value will be considered only for costing purpose.
For procurement related things you have to maintain a purchase info record for a material + vendor
combination in ME11 and a source list in ME01.
In the purchase info record you can maintain a price for buying the material from that vendor.
I hope this will clear your doubts.
Check and revert back.

MK.

Hi Murali ,
For this , just check in the code for material type .
Ask your functional the no. of views each material type would be having .
Now in the code depending upon the material type , execute different BDC code according to number of views .
Its a bit lengthy solution as will increase the coding but will work.

MRP view maintenance for Material Master

What is the basic entry for R3 material master, if, I want EBP below condition works:
Stock in R/3 sufficient: Shopping Carts creates MatReservation.
Stock in R/3 not sufficient: Shopping Cart still creates MatReservation, and when run MRP (in R/3), it gives Purchase Requisition, with the exact shortage qty.
Info: We have set customizing in EBP so that every follow-on document for Shopping Cart will be Reservation.
-Mimi-

In R/3 , the material should have MRP view and all planning related settings ...
wr u want to go for consumption based planning or deterministic planning .
Based on the planning procedure setting in MRP views of the R/3 sytem , PRs will get generated.
This is what u are looking for .. otherwise post your feedback...

Material Master for Maintenance material

In regards to a Material Master for a Maintenance storeroom Material, On the MRP 2 tab there is a field called Safety time/act.cov.
What is the difference between that and the planned delivery time of a material. I have tested both and they appear to do the same thing in materials planning. Can you tell me the differences between these 2 fields
Thanks

HI Yocoma,
The first difference I can site is that is in Workdays whereas Planned Delivery time is in Calender Days and is based on past experience

Material codification

Hi All,
I would like to know the best practises in SAP handling the following issues:
1. We have spare parts which are procured locally and are imported. We codify if as Ixxxxxx for import and IxxxxxL for local item. Although the material is same the price that we procured was different. For stock we look at two codes.
2. For certain similar raw materials we have uniquely identified by adding the supplier code along with material code. This is done because the materials look similar but are different in grade/quality and used as subsitute when either material is not available for use in production.
Can any one suggest the best practice for maintenance of material master data in terms of valuation and stock keeping?
Regards
Rasheed

Hi
I would suggest you to activate Split valuation for the first case
Without split valuation, materials are valued at plant level.
With split valuation, the same material number at a plant can have different stock quantity and value for different groupings (called valuation types).
The valuation types are set up in configuration could be for example:
u2022     new, old or
u2022     GB, US, AU, ... (indicating countries for example)
u2022     red, blue, black, etc.... (indicating colors for example)
The valuation typs are grouped together in a valuation category
So for example, the above valuation types could be grouped by age, country, color.
A material is activated by entering the valuation type in the accounting view of the material master.
IMPORTANT: It is possible to change a valuation category if no stock and PO were created. However, once a Valuation category is assigned -- it can not be un-assigned (make blank again). So it is not something that get changed at will. It needs to be decided on creation of material.
Steps to set it up
CONFIGURATION
1.     Activate Valuation
2.     Create Valuation Category
3.     Create Valuation Types
4.     Link Categories > Types
5.     Link valid Valuation Categories to Plant
MASTER DATA
1.     Activate Split valuation for a material
(Add Valuation Category in material master)
2.     Create Accounting views for every valuation type
Using Split Valuation in transactions
1.     Create Purchase Order
2.     Goods Receipt / Goods Issue
3.     Physical Inventory
4.     Stock Overview
DETAIL----
In this example we want to group material in the same plant based on AGE (valuation category). We will have two "groups" (valuation types): OLD and NEW.

What is the concept of view in material master?

Hello sap gurus
Some quetions regarding Material Master
what is the concept of views in material master ?
what is determined by specifying industry sector in material master ?
To sell material which views are material are maintened in Material master?
Regards
Amit

Hi,
Material master for finished ggods is related with SD, MM & PP departments. If you carefully go through the various screens in MM record you will realize the importance of the respective fields and the department to which they belong.
1.Suppose Base unit of measure in Basic data 1 screen. The production people will keep the stock of the item using this UOM.
2. In Sales:Sales Org.1 screen we have sales unit in which we will sell the material.
3. Then we have the plant data in which we enter the delivering plant. Also the taxes are determined from the plant so we have the settings for taxes also - whether this material is fully taxable/50% tax/Tax exempted.
4. Then we have purchasing screen in which the data like the purchasing group, variable units,etc are entered. This will effect the purchasing cycle when we are procuring a material from outside. This is related to MM.
5. The we have MRP, this is related to PP as to how to manufacture the product, the MRP type, the strategy group - whether it is MTO/MTS like that.
5. Sales:Sales Org.2 screen - Here we mainatin the account assignment group which is very important as far as the generation of the accounting document is concerned. This triggers the system where to post the value in which G/L account. Accounting document is generated when we create the invoice in VF01 & save it.
6. Work scheduling - Related with the sceduling of the production as to whether underdelivery or overdelivery is allowed, the storage location
7. Quality - Here you can select for a particular finished item where where it has to be checked for quality during its journey from the raw material stage to the finished goods store as a finished item.
8. Accounting - Related to accounting, product costing, total value of the stock in hand, etc. Also related with FI & PP
So all the screens have data which effects one or more modules for the proper functioning of the system to give the optimum results.
Industry Sector:
Key that specifies the branch of industry to which the material is assigned.
Use
When you create a material master record, the industry sector you specify determines
1. which screens appear and in what order
2. which industry-specific fields appear on the individual screens
Screens for Sales:
Sales:Sales Org.1, Sales:Sales Org.2. But other screens also have data which is related to sales. You cannot just maintain the sales views and save the master. It has to be properly linked with the other modules also for the proper functioning of the system. That is why the system is called as "Enterprise Resource Planning" You have to paln the resources of your company and these resources are related with all the modules.
Reward points if solution helps.
