Inhouse produced pipeline materials

Hi,
Can any one please explain how to configure the pipeline materials which are produced in house and used in production process ?
My client produces utilities like steam and power and uses for internal production puropses, if I define as a pipeline material I need to assign a fixed vendor and invoice and then there is also a wel defined process for settlement also but the issue here is no vendor is selling the pipeline materials and those are produced internally.
Thanks and Regards,
Raavi

Hi
When you talk about pipeline material,the price is picked from the Vendor info record,when the material is purchased from outside.
In your case the pipeline material is produced within the company and there is no vendor involved.
In this case i think the price for this material is required only for doing the cost estimate for the material produced by using this pipeline material.
Maintain the accounting view for the pipeline material and specify the price for this material in the Standard price field so the cost estimate will pick the price during the costing run.
When talking about settlement I really wonder whether we are required to do any settlement for the pipeline material which is produced inhouse,as there is no vendor involved, to whom are you going to pay by doing settlement.
For updating the price for pipeline material you can use MR21.
I hope this will help you.
Good Luck
Hari

Pipeline Materials: Purchase Price Variances

Hi,
Can anybody please guide me on how to handle Purchase Price Variances of Pipeline Materials. As pipeline materials doesn't have any POs and invoices, how is it possible to post the PPV so that the variances are recorded in material ledger.
Best Regards,
Ganesh Perumalla

Hi,
I could see from SAP Notes and Help the following:
If the consignment prices have changed since the original goods receipt, post the credit memo in Financial Accounting. Clear the invoice and the credit memo in Financial Accounting.
But the above Credit memo doesn't update the Material Ledger.
SAP Notes advices to use the function modules FU EXIT_RMVKON00_001, FU EXIT_RMVKON00_002 and FU EXIT_RMVKON00_003.
If somebody already worked on this scenario, could you please provide any details.

Customer Exit: Consignment Settlement - Fill RKWA at Goods Withdrawal
Functionality
Report RMVKON00 (Settle Consignment/Pipeline Liabilities) calls this customer-specific function module and fills structure CI_RKWA.
In report RMVKON00, database table RKWA is changed at settlement. In table RKWA, structure CI_RKWA exists as an include that can incorporate customer-specific fields. The system can fill structure CI_RKWA at goods withdrawal or at settlement. The system uses this function module to fill structure CI_RKWA at the time of settlement.
The RKWA entry for the withdrawal (parameter I_RKWA) is available for filling structure CI_RKWA.
For technical reasons, it is not possible to return structure CI_RKWA, instead, the whole of table RKWA is returned using the parameter E_RKWA. However,changes to table RKWA that are not part of structure CI_RKWA, are ignored by report RMVKON00.
Notes
The system only adopts structure CI_RKWA if the value 'X' is passed on at parameter E_CHECK.
Parameters

Pipeline Materials (Info Record) Cost not getting picked in Standard Cost

Dear Team,
We are using the Pipeling Materials Concept in our client. Pipeline materials are procoured without referene to PO/Quotation.
Pipeline materials cost is not getting updated in the the standard cost estimate in cost roll-up.
All Sub-strategies options in the Valuation variant for price from Purchase Info Record are all wrt PO/Quotation.
How can i get my pipeline materials cost in the standard cost estimate.
Please guide.

Pipeline materials

Hi All,
I wantd to do Goods issue for pipeline materials. So i hav created one pipeline material and also maintained info record. when i tried to post the goods issue ( Mov type 201P) it gives me the error as "G/l account 1214002300 does not exists in company code 1101". So I manintained FI configuration: automatic Posting accounts ( transation OBYC), where above G/l account i m not using anywhere, but it still giving me error. while doing goods issue i m entering only cost center and not G/L acount.
Plz reply. Thnaks....
Arati.

HI,
If youu2019re posting manually, always assign the line item posting to a relevant cost objects (e.g. cost center, order, profit center).
2. For automatic posting transactions, you need to maintain in the system default cost object assignment of the cost element. Follow this simple procedure:
Transaction Code: OKB9
Path: IMG u2192 Controlling u2192 Cost Center Accounting u2192 Actual Posting u2192 Manual Actual Posting u2192 Edit Automatic Account Assignment.
The u201CChage View u201CDefault account assignment: Overviewu201D appears. Enter the company code, cost element, and default cost object. The cost object could be a cost center, internal order or profit center.
Hope Help U !

Material ledger- pipeline materials actual costing

Dear all,
I am having problem with pipeline materials not being included in multilevel actual BOM in Material ledger actual costing. My client need information about actual quantity of pipeline material (natural gas) being consumed in multilevel production. I am not sure if pipeline materials are subject to actual costing/material ledger. Actual cost component is showing the amount of costs of natural gas, but in multilevel BOM, pipeline materials are not included. Am I right about this?
thanks in advance,
Duu0161ko

Hi Rafal,
there is a functionality built into acual costing to cover this:

How to process of Pipeline materials for bill pass

All SAP MM Gurus,
My scenerio is like we procure Nitorgen gas thru pipeline, the vendor give the bill of nitrogen gas which our plant consume.
then How I Process the bill, like Purchase Order, Goods Receit and Invoice Verification. But when I post GR then system demand Storage location, but for that material we have no any storage location.
Only u people give the idea about how to porcess the pipeline material type.
thanks

Hi
First you have to create nitrogen with material type " PIPE".
maintain inforecord for the same.
NOw for PIPE material types we dont do goods receipt, this material comes directly thru pipeline for ex. water, electricity,gas etc. and vendor will bill us for the same. we will not do goods receipt for the same. No need to raise PO also or invoice verification.
and its settlement will be done through MRKO , there system will pick up price from info record. and you have to pay vendor that much amount.
reward if useful.

Creation of SDEB's for MRP type = VB materials.

Hi Gurus,
When we run plant wise MRP, SDEB's are created instead of Purchase requisitions for all Manual re-order point materials. We understand that SDEB's are created when the stock of tha material is above tha Re-order point, and this SDEB's indicate tha MRP controller whether he can create manually Purchase requisitions or not.
But, we are getting these SDEB's for the materials that have stock below the Re-order point as well. Which is not correct i think.?
For your information, when we run material wise MRP there are no SDEB's at all.
Please explain what might be the Root cause and the solution to over come this..
Thanks for your understanding..
Naveen.A

Dear colleague,
without checking the issue it is difficult to know if there is an error.
Please check if the following information can explain the behaviour of your system:
A)When you do MD01 or MDBT the creaton indicators defines in the
customising are used . whereas when you run MD02 or MD03 the creation
indicator on the individual screen is used.
Single-item planning and total planning follow a different logic
concernng the creation indicators.This is also described in the
documentation for Master Planning/Materials Planning (Chapter 4, Section
2) and in the Implementation Guide.
Single-item planning:
        The entered creation indicators are generally valid.
Total planning:
       The entered creation indicators are used as default values.
       For materials from an MRP group, the values from the MRP group
       apply (if available).
       The creation indicator for delivery schedules can additionally be
       specified per plant. This is used if nothing was specified via
       the MRP group.
       Thus, the priority is as follows:
      1. MRP group
      2. Plant
      3. Initial screen
B)In MD02 system can de multilevel (For components of a header Materia)
or/and Multiplant (Stock Transfre ) planning. In such cases for all the
materials involved the creation indicator used in the screen is used.
C)The creation indicator makes sense only for materials having
procurement type external procurement (F) in material master. For the
materilas which are produced in house (Procurement type E) system will
always create planned orders.
    And Materials having procurement type X(Both procurement types ) is
treated as Inhouse produced material by planning . Thus for such
materials system will always create a planned order. Now this planned
order can be converted into a production orer or into a purchase
order(via purchase Requisition).
    When you run MRP with "Create Purchase Requisition " in the opening
period , then the syetm uses in the opening period defined via the
scheduling margin Key. In material master , MRP 2 View we maintain
scheduling margin key. And in Transaction OPP1->Planning->Scheduling and
Capacity Parameters ->Define floats we maintain the opening periods per
plant. I am attaching details of Opening period :
   opening period: Opening period is the time which the MRP controller
needs to analyse.Thus he has this buffer with him to rectify any issues
before converting the planned order into purchase requisition.
The opening period is only used in backward scheduling.
Suppose There is a requirement for a material on date =RD1
Let the Goods receipt processing time is= T1
Let the planned delivery time =L1
Let the purchasing Processing time = X1
Let the opening period for this material is P1
Time line for external procurement:
        Planned Del   Pur proc         GR Process
          Time            Time          Time
___|__________|_________|___________|___
              L1            X1         T1
   SD                                         RD1
Now accoring to Basic scheduling:
   Receipt/Requirements Date(RD1)
   Release/Start Date(SD) = RD1-T1-L1-X1
Now let me explain to you when the planned order an purchase
Requisitions are created:
Let us say the date on which you do MRP be MR1
OD = Opening Date
From above diagram :
                                 Opening Per
                                 In Sch Mar Key
__________________|______________|
XX                          OD                 SD
                                              Release/Start Date
If your MRP date(generally Today) is lying between XX and OD (and
excludind OD)then
MRP creates planned order and if it lies between (and indclind OD)
OD and SD then we create purchase req.
when your MRP date comes between the period OD and SD then you do not
have time left to analyse and therefore instead of you in such cases
forgetting and delaying system automatically creates purchase req.
      In general if , if your order start date or release date is after
the opening period from today then MRP will create planned order.
Oterwise it creates Purchase req.
Check also if you have the note 1063969 applied in your system.
I hope it solves the issue. Otheriwse I think you should open an OSS message with connection to your system,
best regards,
maria

In house mfgd. raw materials for a production order- Cost capturing

Hello Experts,
The scenario is as below:
Client wants to manufacture in house some of the raw materials for a production order of sub assembly. These raw materials are made from scrap, with some manhours spent on it. After making them in house, these are handed over to stores for kit preparation.
The planner wants to create a stock of these materials (without making individual prod. orders since there are many of these). One option is, planner can do the cost centre issue reversal (202 movement). But the raw material cost is also getting captured in it from the material master.
From costing point of view, the cost of raw material should not be included since it is made from scrap. Only the cost of man hours spent is to be accounted for.
Please help as to how to map this scenario. For capturing cost of man hours spent, we can include a routing for it in the production order of the sub assembly. But how to eliminate or exclude the material cost. All inputs from your side are appreciated. Thanks in advance
Regards,
Chetan.

Hi Chetan,
Your scenario has some major issue.
1. You cannot produce RAW material in SAP.
2. The cost of material produced inhouse will be different than that of original RAW material.
3. There will be some cost effect in the final finished product if you consider this inhouse produced material for product costing of finished goods.
We have similar scenario with my client and here is what I have implemented.
1. Create a new HALB type part number for the inhouse manufactured RAW material. This will ensure that you assign Routing and BOM to same and can capture the COST for the same.
2. Creating new material will enure that the product costing for inhouse produced RAW material is done.
3. You can create single Production order for the same as you only have to capture cost. This depends on your Business scenario.
4. Once you have inhouse produced raw material, you can create alternate BOM for the FINISHED Material with this new Part number in BOM.
5. Create Production Version for the two BOM and ask Planner to select the Version 2 if he requires new part number in Production Order. I assume that this case would genrally appear in very small numbers.
6. Now coming to product costing for final assembly. Since we are going to reuse scrap material to create the new part number, only activity cost and component cost will be used to determine cost. This cost will be less than that of RAW material cost.
So we always suggest our customer to consider OLD part number to determine the PRODUCT COST of final material. BUT business will have to take a call on this.
Do let me know if u need any thing else.

Getting Blend materials from Raw Materials in RMWB transaction technically.

Hi,
I am working on a PDM report having requirement for determining all unit and case UPC that contain a chemical represented by a CAS.
I have a requirement for getting Blends using Raw materials.I am able to find the raw materials from pure substance but not able to get a logic for getting the Blends from this raw materials.
Is there any Function Module to find the Blends from raw materials or any logic which I can put in my program to find this.If anybody could help me in this.
Then I have to get the Finished Goods using the Blends.
And Finally Finished Goods comprised of Finished Goods.
There is no time to debug the Standard RMWB transaction.
<removed_by_moderator> .Kindly all PDM-ABAP users please help me on this issue.
Thanking you in advance.

MRP - Create Planned Orders only for Externally Procured Materials

Dear All,
We have a scenario that our client gives us the daily requirement schedule for the current month and a monthly forecast for future months so that we can plan our externally procured materials based on the forecast.
Now I only want the MRP run to create Planned Orders for HALB and FERT based on my current months daily schedule and planned orders for ROH (Externally Procured) based on the next months forecast (monthly).
I dont want the system to create planned orders for HALB and FERT from the forecast. The requirement for the ROH are however derived from the Finished Good BOM and the forecast is also given for the FERT material. I know its a long shot but is there a possibility in the system to do such a thing or a work around?

Your business case is not clear; MRP will create planned orders for inhouse produced materials, and either planned orders or purchase requisitions for external procurement.
You can choose to convert or release external procurement for a long time ahead (eventhough taht if you have proper lead times defined you can release by lead time), but convert inhouse planned orders to production orders only for next period (week, month). Actually this is common practice.
So I fail to understand your problem.

Pipeline material in Network order

We have requirement to user material with material type PIPELINE and backflush these components during confirmation of network.
I am getting error message 'Material XXXX is incompatible with item category PIPE ' during assignment of Pipeline materials to Network. we choosing item category = N (non stock) to assign pipeline materials to the activities.
Please advise, if some has used pipeline materials in network and backflushed by using CN25.
Anurag

Hi
Do check with your MM consultant to fix the item category group "PIPE" defined the used material. Error is explanatory.
I have no idea whether we can use pipeline material with Item category "N". Generally Pipeline material (raw material is pumped from storage tanks to produciton unit. this material could be in the form of liquid or semi liquid. In my past project we have different concept used by PP to measure Qty consumed to produce final product but not used these materials on project network) are being used in process industry to measure the Qty being consumed for producing final product. In that case, I guess, your material never be a Non-stock item. Becaue of this reason system might be throwing error.

Re: Creation of Pipeline Purchase Order or Consignment

Hello all,
Can you all explain me how to create Pipeline Purchase Order or Contract., so that a proof of document is maintained.
How is is done in SAP?
Regards,
Smitha

Hi,
For Pipeline Process,
1. Create Pipeline Material under material type PIPE
2. You need to maintain the Pipeline Info Record in ME11. Here maintain the Prices and Tax Code mandatory
Also in SPRO > Enterprise Structure > Assignment > Materials Management > Assign standard purchasing organization to plant
There will not be any PO and GR Process for Pipeline materials. We consider that materials are available via Pipes in our plant and we have tp directly book consumption and then settlement of the same.
If Stock is directly consumed from Pipeline Stock via 201 P or 261 P via transaction MB1A or MIGO then following FI Entry will appear;
(GBB-VBR) Consumption Account - Dr
(KON) Pipeline Liabilities - Cr
Now do Pipeline Settlement in MRKO. Here you can not change the Invoice Value. Here following FI Entry will appear;
Vendor Account - Cr
Pipeline Liabilities - Dr
Prerequisite for MRKO: -
- Maintain condition record for output type KONS in MRM1
Then take printout of the Settlement Document in MR91.

Issue in production - unsold materials

Hi,
Need advice on issue I am facing.
Consider one material "X1" as finished good. To produce "X1", material "Y" is used. This same material "Y" is used to produce other materials as well say material X1, X2, X3....
These materials X1, X2 .... are transferred to depot using STO. But in case these materials remain in stock for long time then these are again transported back to production plant, where material "Y" used to produce them is used to produce other Xs materials.
Let me know how do I configure this in SAP and what all implications it will have on accounting entries, excise related entries and what will be update in cost calculation.

Pavan

any suggestions ?
