Including packaging material automatically in inventory and purchasing

Hi,
We are in the Utility industry.
We are introducing the concept of packaging or returnable materials. As such, when cables are purchased, large reels will also be received.
The reels are at no value, but must be always added when cable is purchased, since when returned (reels), credits will be applied.
I would like to have the system add the reels automatically on requisitions or purchase orders. How/if is this feasible?

create a separate material for REEL under material type
(LEIH -- ( Return packaging Material)
raise a P.O and send the Reel to the vendor who in turn will
recycle the same.

While P.O creation material automatic capture the last Purchase value

Dear all
Please guide me for the following :
I need a scenario like while creation of new P.O if material already purchase then system automatic capture the last purchase value as per the given material....
Thanks & Regards,
Neha

Prompt the last Purchase Order Price for the Material
If you want the system to take the price from the last Purchase Order, then do not maintain the conditions in the info record because it has precedence over the last PO. This means that the netprice field in the info record should be left blank.
In the case when you have already maintained the conditions in the info record (or netprice), try to delete them or make them invalid by changing the validity date.
Even though no price was maintained, the info record will still keep track of the Order price history.
To check the Order price history, go into the material info record and click Environment -> Order price history

Sloc for packaging material automatic determination

Hi
I am doing the following process.
Creating STO ME21N
Delivery         VL10D
TR/TO           LB01/LT04/LT12
Handling Unit ZHAND
VLMOVE       Outbound Delivery Creation and PGI
When i am creating outbound delivery. It gets created by VLMOVE. When i click on PGI, I need to enter the sloc and site every time for packaging material. Why location for packaging material does not determine automatically from the delivery in PGI. Please suggest.
Same thing happens in case of inbund delivery.
Thanks & Regards
Kapil Nanda

hi Azat,
sloc is determined via transaction OVL3. There you have the field 'storage condition' which comes from material masterdata (MARA-RAUBE). Note that the field is editable at plant view, but the data is in MARA table (so general for the material code).
If you have different storage conditions defined for different materials, then you can configure only for selected ones automatic sloc determination.
However, can you explain why there is such a need? Because to me this is weird requirement..?

SD Process Flow
the sales documents you create are individual documents but they can also form part of a chain of inter-related documents. For example, you may record a customeru2019s telephone inquiry in the system. The customer next requests a quotation, which you then create by referring to the inquiry. The customer later places an order on the basis of the quotation and you create a sales order with reference to the quotation. You ship the goods and bill the customer. After delivery of the goods, the customer claims credit for some damaged goods and you create a free-of-charge delivery with reference to the sales order. The entire chain of documents u2013 the inquiry, the quotation, the sales order, the delivery, the invoice, and the subsequent delivery free of charge u2013 creates a document flow or history. The flow of data from one document into another reduces manual activity and makes problem resolution easier. Inquiry and quotation management in the Sales Information System help you to plan and control your sales.
Hope this helps.

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.

Packaging material given to vendor

Hi ..
We have a business case where our client is supplying packaging material (pallets) to suppliers and they pack their material in those packaging and supply to our client.
Expenses incurred for such packaging are expensed off but my client wants to track the inventory of packaging material lying with each vendor.
Client is procuring these packaging material based on ROP.
How can I map this business process

Empty packaging material return

Hi,
We are working in a beer manufacturing industry....here manufactured beer is packed in to three types of packaging...
1. Can
2. Bottle
3. Keg...
So basically we have three finished codes..each finished material is having in the BOM components as bulk beer and other packaging materials like CAN, Bottle, keg.... now filled finished product sales is done...after sales then after some time they return the empty containers like bottle and Keg to plant..which are used again for re filling.... for this return they are paid money... now how to map this in to SAP....
what we proposed is when the empty packaging material comes make a manual purchase order with packaging material code and qty then do GR with 101 movement..then subsequently make the payment against the PO.....
is this the correct solution???..can somebody share ur previous experiences who worked on this scenario...is there any SAP best practices available for this scenario ???...
Thanks
Kumar

I think this situation can be handled by Returnable Packaging - Sales.
I haven't worked with returnable packaging, But I can assume your business process goes to returnable packaging.
Read the SAP help, if your business process is different, then you can elaborate.

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.

How to add sales history and purchase history without affecting inventory.

In order to help client migrating sales and purchase history into B1.
I checked through the Business One objects reference file. I couldn't find any object that allow adding historical record into both Sales or Purchase history, via DIAPI.
Do I have to always depend on the Sales Invoice object to add the document and let it affect the inventory level.

No, you can't add historical data without affecting GL and Inventory. In SAP B1 any invoice addition thru DI API will automatically behave like the regular B1 process and it will post to GL and inventory.
I saw in the partner edge portal SAP B1 forum a post from an SAP employee that is working on developing a process where historical data will be able to be migrated without afecting inventory and GL. But there is no ETA on when this will be available.

Automatic Link of Documents in purchase requisition and purchase order

Dear guru.
I have created a document in CV01N and I have linked it in document data view of a material master(MM02).
For every purchase requisition and purchase order position created for this material I need that the system execute an automatic link to this document.
How can I do that ?
Thanks

Hello,
You can only derive the attached documents from the preceding documents only (for example. Purchase Requisition). Deriving the attached document from the material master is not a standard scenario. This scenario is not in the system. You need to manually attach it.

Declare internal tables as follows: - An example
TYPES: BEGIN OF TY_PO_LINES,
     INCLUDE STRUCTURE TLINE.
     END OF TY_PO_LINES,
     TY_PO_LINES_T TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF TY_PO_LINES.
TYPES: BEGIN OF TY_PO_TEXT,
     TDOBJECT TYPE TDOBJECT
     TDNAME TYPE TDOBNAME,
     TDID TYPE TDID,
     SPRAS TYPE SPRAS,
     TDLINES TYPE TY_PO_LINES OCCURS 0,
     END OF TY_PO_TEXT,
     PO_TEXT_T TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF TY_PO_TEXT.
DATA: PO_TEXT TYPE TY_PO_TEXT_T
PO text:
Looping at your internal table which consists of PO number,
SELECT TDID TDSPRAS FROM STXH INTO A INTERNAL TABLE say PO_TEXT
TDOBJECT = EKKO "PO Header Text
TDNAME = PO NUMBER
SELECT TDID TDSPRAS FROM STXH INTO A INTERNAL TABLE say PO_TEXT
TDOBJECT = EKPO "PO line item text
TDNAME = PO NUMBER
ENDLOOP
Looping at PO_TEXT
CALL FUNCTION 'READ_TEXT'
EXPORTING
     ID = PO_TEXT-TDID
     LANGUAGE = PO_TEXT-TDSPRAS
     NAME = PO_TEXT-TDNAME
     OBJECT = PO_TEXT-TDOBJECT

Material doc. list and purchasing process

Hi Gurus,
Can anyone please tell me how can Material Document List can be used to support the purchasing process (what decision(s) would this information support, and/or how could it improve the efficiency or effectiveness of the process

Hi Priya,
Material Document list are basically used for reporting in Inventory Management.
To simplify your day-to-day work with the Inventory Management component, there are a range of functions and reports that provide extensive information on all materials and their stock data.
This section provides an overview of the reporting function in Inventory Management. For more information, see the documentation on each function or the relevant report documentation.
Features
Environment Menu
List displays
This provides reports for documents posted in Inventory Management. Example: Material document list (MB51).
Stock
This provides information on a materialu2019s stocks. Example: Current stock/requirements list (MD04).
The Stock Overview (MMBE) provides an overview of all stocks of a material over all organizational levels (see also Stocks, Plant and Storage Location).
Information
This allows you to display data (master data, transaction/movement data) from other applications. Example: Displaying a purchase order.
Balance display
This provides reports on the GR/IR clearing account (MB5S).
Consignment
You can use this to display all information on consignment stocks. Example: Displaying vendor consignment stocks (MB54).
Batch where-used list
This provides all the functions on the Batch Where-Used List.
Batch search strategy
You use this to define the strategies for Batch Determination.

Periodic Processing Menu
List of stock values (MB5L)
This report is used to display the total stock quantity and the total stock value for a material at plant and storage location level.
Consistency check (MB5K)
You can use this to check the consistency of your stocks at company code level, valuation area level, and material level.
Managing held data (MBPM)
When you enter a goods receipt, this function allows you to display and delete data that you have held for further processing but not yet posted.
Analysis of rounding differences (MB5U)
This function allows you to analyze rounding differences that resulted from conversion between units of entry and base units. This applies when you work with a material with metric and non-metric units of measurement, for example.
Activities
For the reports that work with the SAP List Viewer, you can configure the output list as you require, to display and evaluate further data. To extend the current layout (basic list) or select another existing layout, choose Settings ® Layout. You can also create your own layouts and choose them on the initial screen. For more information on the SAP List Viewer, see the SAP List Viewer component.
To recognize any data inconsistencies in your system early on, we recommend you run the following reports regularly, for example, monthly or at year-end closing:
