Inventory solution for consignment materials

Hi: My client is looking for a solution for the following scenario:
1. Consignment material Kit A is kept at the client location, and is made up of sub-parts, b, c, and d.
2. Material Kit A is issued, but then returned with some of the parts used (ie. part b). Kit A is now only parts c and d.
3. Kit A (now with part B missing) is returned to the vendor, and part B is added back to the kit. Kit A is now returned to the client location.
Inventory needs to be managed at the Kit A level (not the sub-parts), and only the price of the sub-parts used need to be invoiced for.
Any suggestions how to set this up?
thanks
Gail

Report for consignment materials

Hi SAP Gurus,
Is there a report for consignment materials that can show us the opening balance, receipts, Usage, and ending balance (of the stock) for a given time frame?
thanks
Anusha

This doesn't do any good. it just gives the vendor information. I'm not looking for this. I'm looking for a report or a t code which gives what the opening stock levels, receipts of stock, usage of stock and ending balance of stock for consignment materials for a given time period for a plant
thanks

How to get available quantity in Inventory levels for all materials

Hi..All
I am Abap Developer and i have a Requirement that to Print a report that Displays " Inventory levels (available quantity) for all materials"
1) What tables can i use to retrive the data to get the Inventory levels (available quantity) for all materials.
2).What are the fields can used in that tables that use ful for end user.
Thank you,
Madhu .

Hi,
I'm not sure what you mean when you are speaking about inventory levels and available quantity.
I mean that you may have stock of 100 pcs of a certain material but from an open PrdOrd can come a reservation for this component (e.g. 20 pcs) that reduces this the available quantity (to 80 pcs).
If you want only the stock levels, you don't have to write any ABAP code, since MB52 report is designed for this purpose.
If you want to know the available stock (considering requirements (PIR, DepReq, SO), and stock-like MRP elements (PldOrd, PurReq, PrdOrd, PO, etc)) you should check report MD04 and examine how it works, which tables it uses (ST01).

Table for Inventory Status for Serialized materials

Hello,
Can anyone please provide the table name for finding out inventory status (i.e. unrestricted, Quality Inspection, Blocked) for serial numbers. I am trying to find out, in which inventory status does a particular serial# belonging to a particular material# is in?

Hello Azz:
Regarding the serial number status, you have to check the combination of three different tables:
EQUI - Equipment master data. In this table make note of the field 'Object number' (OBJNR), which is the primary key for:
JEST - Individual Object Status. This table contains the technical expression of the status in field 'Object status' (STAT), which is the primary key for:
TJ02 - System status. In this table you can find the texts for the system status in the fields TXT04 and TXT30.
Then, here you have some other tables which you might also need:
EQBS - Serial Number Stock Segment.
SER01 - Document Header for Serial Numbers for Delivery.
SER02 - Document Header for Serial Nos for Maint.Contract (SD Order).
SER03 - Document Header for Serial Numbers for Goods Movements.
SER04 - Document Header for Serial Numbers for Inspection Lot.
SER05 - Document Header for Serial Numbers for PP Order.
SER06 - Document Header for Serial Numbers for Handling Unit-Content.
SER07 - Document Header for Serial Numbers in Physical Inventory.
SER08 - Document Header for Purchase Order Item Serial Numbers.
I hope this helps!
Esther.

WM 321 Posting change qa to unres for consignment materials

How can I realize automatic WM-transfer order / posting change processing for a quality to unrestricted posting (initated via QA11 record usage decision) of a consignment material?
I am able to realize the automatic posting change / transfer order processing for a non-consigment material (after QA11-usage decision). Therefore I have defined "321 / Posting change, quality" posting change WM/IM customizing.
To-be-process:
MIGO Goods receipt posting with reference to PO
QA11 Usage decision
LB11 Create Transfer Order / Place stock
The goal is that the user does not require a special WM-processing also for the consignment material related to Quality Management.
I am able to create the transfer order (based on posting change 321 quality to unrestricted / consignment) manually via LU04 but I am looking for automatic TO-creation /-confirmation.
Thank you in advance!

Report for Inventory Status for Serialized Materials

I am trying to generate a report which would display the material #, all serial #s related to that material and the stock type for each of these serial#s. I currently following this approach, I will fetch all the material number from MARC for a particular plant, then for each MATNR, will check for EQUNR and SERNR in table EQUI. Then for each EQUNR will then check stock type in table EQBS. I believe each EQUNR is associated with one and only one SERNR (AM I CORRECT?). I will then display the MATNR, SERNR and LBBSA on the report. Can somebody tell me if the approach is correct? Just wanted your opinion.
Also I have another issue. Whenever I try to find the stock type for a particular EQUNR in table EQBS, it gives a message saying that no data exists for this EQUNR in this table. I wanted to know what could be the possible reasons for this. I am currently investigating on the following reasons, 1. I think the material is flagged for deletion so that all the EQUNRs and SERNRs associated with that material will be deleted. However, I dont know how to see all the material associated with a particular EQUNR? Another reason I think is that that EQUNR, or that SERNR does not have any quantity in SAP so no stock type. I could be wrong, but still searching. Can you think of something which could cause this problem (i.e. the message saying that no data exists for this EQUNR in table EQBS?)
Thank you for your help.

Hello Azz,
Have you tried transaction code IQ09 report? I this this will meet your requirement to some extent.

ECC 600 - Cost Estimates for Consigned Material

We are in ECC 600and planning to implement Consigned Inventory in short time. However I am stuck with Inventory revaluation for consigned material.
Consingment Flow: Vendor ship these items against standard PO at zero price. At the consumption pricing is captured from Purchase info records.
Material valuation: We are using valuation variant 001 Planned valuation - mat. with
 Primary Strategy Sequence 
Planned Price 1
Valuation Price 1 Based On Co
Price from Purchasing Info Re
Sub-Strategy Sequence with Purchasing : Strategy Sequence
Purchase Order Price via Condition
Gross Purchase Order Price
Effective Price from Purchase Order
However when I try create cost estimate I am getting following error,
" No price could be determined for material/batch <......>/ plant <..> "
Any suggestions.
Thanks
Uday

Thanks for the quick response. I did maintain Purchasing info record using ME12. We do see pricing information at the time Production order backflsh. However contract and PO has no pricing information. Therefore initial GR is created with zero price. However at the time consumption against prod order, consignment material gets price from the Purchase info record. Bur consumption documents are not linked back to PO.When I try to cost these material using CK11N, SAP gives following messages,
Msg.typ Material Plnt Area MsgNo Message Text
I 1000 CK 037 Lot size 1 EA taken from costing view
I 1000 CK 776 No valid source of supply found for material plant 1000

I 1000 CK 361 Value of costing item 00001 in itemization is 0
E 1000 CK 240 Cost component split costed with value of zero
Any clue.
Thanks,

Report for age of consignment materials

Is there a report that shows the age of consignment materials.Meaning to say when they were received into our inventory.
Thanks
Anusha

Without batch management you would not be able to track the age, as you cannot seperate the stocks.
In batch record the GR date is saved.
I dont know any report that shows the age for consignment material directly (we do not have such).
But you can create a query that shows the GR date from the batch record (tables MCHA, MCH1 MCHB)

Inventory Count for Batch Managed materials - Plant, S.Loc and Batch Wise

Hi.,
In the company's current scenario, the printing of batch managed materials are scheduled under 3 Job names.
1. First job determines the materials/batches that need to be created today using Program RM07ICN1
2. Second Job Processes the BDC Session created by Program RM07ICN1 using Program: RSBDCSUB
3. Third Job prints the Inventory tickts at the appropriate Storage location using Program: RM07IDRU
Each Job has its own variant.
The Variant for SL.No 1 is defined w.r.t
i. Material Type : Two Material types have been defined
ii. Under selection variable, GIDAT ( Planned count date and GBDAT are flagged.
Current Analysis:
A. The inventory documents get printed with Materials as per the cycle counting indicators defined which govern which material has to be currently counted.
B. Inventory documents are generated for all materials in all the plants and in all the storage locations
C. Batches for a material number may print on different cycle count documents throughout the year.
Customer requirement:
The inventory documents to print on basis of
1. Material, Plant and S.Loc.
This would help in identifying the batches which are currently being counted as well.
2. Customers requirement is to ensure that all batches are accounted for and will identify any overage of batches since in the current process, they are never reviewed as a whole.
QUESTION:
1. How to configure the Customer requriement.
2. How to configure the Variant/s, if thats the place the configuration has to be done to satisfy the customer.
3. How to activate the Variant in SE37 after definition in the Step Indicator. Does it activate on execution?
When i run the Program using SE38 , maintaining options in the Screen ( giving Material, Plant and S.loc), i get the desired list (Batches w.r.t Material,plant.S.Loc). But there is a list of over 150 Batch managed materials and it would not be physically possible to maintain the variant for each each Material,plant,S.loc wise.
Is there a way to configure the customer requirement/s.
Any and all help is much appreciated.
Thanks

Hello Mahesh,
Customer requrirement is specific, they want a list of Inventory Documents to be generated on basis of Material in each Plant-S.Loc batch wise.
Then you need to define multiple varinat for the program.
(a) If i am giving two variants in the same Program name RM07ICN1, how to execute one after after in sequence.
In testing, I have defined in the " Step", Progran RM07ICN1 with one variant and Program RM07ICN1 with another Variant. But on execution of Program RM07ICN1 thru SE38, the screen defined latter ( second variant screen data ) is displayed.
You need to define several steps in SM36 transaction for the program using each variant. SE38 you can use only to save your variant data so later you can use this variant in SM36.
Once you schedule the job with SM36 and release it then it will automatically execute this job as per your criteria (timeline)
Hope this helps.

Make-to-order: COPS for KMAT materials (Non-valuated sales stock)

Hello,
We are working with KMAT configurable material (i.e. non valuated sales order stock).
The client is requiring that inventory of these KMAT material should be shown in the financial accounting;however as we work with KMAT, this seems not possible.
The whole process is:
- taking of the sales order with the configuration
- MRP and Production order Execution
- Settlement of the PO to the sales order
- Settlement of the Sales orden to a given account in FI (just like "stock for customer order") - inventory.
The problem we are facing now is how to make the compensation of this account once the product is delivered.
It seems the sales order's default settlement receiver is only the PSG. can we have to use the result analysis key to calculate the cost of sales, and which valuation method can we use if I only want to settle the actual cost that settled from the production order.
By the way, I have search for the notes:Note 26459 it seems we have to run the sales cost estimate first for the KMAT.
Summary
Symptom
It is not possible to perform results analysis on sales order items with materials of material type KMAT.
Additional key words
Transactions KKA3, KKAK
Cause and prerequisites
In make-to-order production, the inventory and the cost of sales are not posted through goods movements because the materials are managed in a non-valuated sales order stock. The only way to create postings in FI is to use results analysis (see Note 26456). If the sales order item consists of a material of material type KMAT, results analysis is not possible because no cost estimate exists for this material.
Solution
Results analysis must be performed with a valuation method that uses profit basis C. With this profit basis, the system uses the planned costs of the production orders for the sales order instead of a cost estimate for the KMAT material.
In Release 2.2 a modification is needed for this which is described in Note 25772. In Release 3.0 this function is provided as standard.
From 3.0C onwards the planned costs of the sales order can also be calculated in a product cost estimate for the sales order. You should use profit basis E in this case.
However, if you are using assembly processing with production orders, you can only use profit basis C.
Hope the scenario is clear. Perhaps you have a different approach to work with KMAT materials.

Hi Friends,
Can you please provide the solution for my problem and its slight urgent.

SAP Solution for Mini steel plant with DRI Process

Dear all,
I am a metallurgist who spent couple of years in steel and process Industry and then moved to IT Consulting as SAP consultant / business analyst mainly working in the area of solution designing.
Here i will like to describe SAP solution for Mini steel plant with DRI proces.
u201CManufacture Productsu201D Description
The series of operations performed upon material to convert it from the raw material or a semifinished state to a state of further completion. This includes the establishment and maintenance of a CAPEX plan, the planning, scheduling and execution of production activities, the dispositioning of produced goods, the maintenance of production data, the monitoring of production performance and the implementation of engineering changes.
u201CManufacture Productsu201D Objectives
M-010
Compile 3-year CAPEX Budget     Establish the overall manufacturing goals and metrics that the organization will use to measure performance and progress towards objectives. These goals should be consistent with overall organizational strategy/value propositions. Develop long-term goals for production capabilities and manufacturing. These goals should align with the overall goals and objectives of the organization.
M-050
Perform Long Range Production Planning     u201CBudgetingu201D. Long range planning of production quantities based on planned available capacities and known or estimated customer demands. This process may include planning for different capacity and/or demand scenarios. Approved capital expenditures from the 3-year CAPEX budget may influence the budget. Range and frequency for budgeting is yearly.
M-060
Perform Medium Range Production Planning     Medium range planning of production quantities based on planned available capacities and known or estimated customer demands. This process may include planning for different capacity and/or demand scenarios. Range and frequency for planning is quarterly.
M-070
Perform Short Range Production Planning     Short term planning of production quantities based on capacities and demands as previously planned in the longer terms, actual customer demand and actual capacities. The result from short range production planning will run into the operational plan for the current and following days. Range and frequency for planning is monthly.
M-080
Schedule Production     This sub-process enables detailed scheduling by resources over the planning horizon. Planned orders that fulfill demands (Stock Transfer Requisitions, Sales Forecasts and Customer Orders defined by due-dates and due-quantities) come from the short range plan. This results in a feasible schedule, optimizing utilization of the production resources. It is based on production process constraints as well as labor resources in order to minimize production costs and also taking into account constraining raw materials availability.
M-090
Execute MRP     The purpose of this sub-process is to generate a Materials Requirements Plan (MRP) for all materials, which are produced or purchased. The MRP process involves looking at current material inventory, planned inbound material deliveries, requirements, lead times and stock levels to generate a detailed plan for future material requirements. The materials requirements will be generated with respect to the three planning horizons, short-term, medium-term, and long term. If an over stock of raw materials occurs as a result of a planning change production and marketing personnel will be informed. This would allow for the cancellations of any unneeded shipments.
M-100
Perform Setup / Changeover     Perform set-up and changeover activities on production equipment as necessary, to prepare for the production of specific materials/grades. Set-up and changeover activities will enable the production equipment to perform operations on materials, as per the specifications called out on the production order. Ensure time is allocated for first off inspection requirements after changeover.
M-110
Execute Production     Insure that the production plan is met by converting raw materials and component supplies into finished and semi-finished products. Batch/lot documentation will be created for individual production orders to provide traceability throughout the process. Each step of the production process is continuously monitored to identify mechanical, quality, and productivity issues and suggest solutions when problems arise. Data collection for performance and financial reporting enables management to take immediate action on manufacturing processes as well as conduct historical analysis.
M-120
Perform Quality Management     Quality management refers to the entire supply chain process. Process activities are related to the evaluation and inspection of key characteristics of semi-finished and finished materials. These evaluations are recorded and acted on based on the results. Report/manage internal quality problems or issues. Install and manage quality control systems to insure product quality. For supplier or subcontractor based issues this data should be used as a performance measure during the vendor evaluation process.
M-130
Manage Product Disposition     This process ensures those semi-finished and finished products that do not meet quality requirements, are prevented from being used and distributed in good finished product to customer, or released for the next step of the production process. A semi finished product is any material that needs to have another operation on line before being shipped to the customer. Finished goods are defined as any material that can be shipped to a customer; in house produced finished goods, subcontracted materials and trading goods. The information required to make decisions regarding disposition comes from the Quality Management system of each production facility. The first step ensures that raw material and returnable goods are dealt with in another subprocess. The reason for the goods not meeting quality standards is recorded along with the results of any investigation to find the cause of the fault. Information is sent to all other parties who need to know: order fulfillment, inventory management and shipping. The process ensures that the most appropriate action is taken to either dispose of, or rework the goods. Disposal or rework may be either through the original materials supplier or subcontractor, or Mittal Steel Point Lisas.
M-140
Maintain Product Related Data     u201CMaterial Master Maintenanceu201D. The Sub-Process 'Maintain Product Related Data' is the list of activities that identify the steps and decision points related to the request for and performance of additions, changes, and deletions to the Material Master file or files. This sub-process begins when a need to create, change or delete a material is identified and ends when the request is either actioned or refused. The sub-process is intended to cover all material types, including finished goods, raw materials, bills of materials, equipment and service, POS, Sundry Items etc. In fact, any product which the company wishes to inventory or purchase. A number of key strategic decisions, including a clear definition of when we issue a new material, will affect this sub-process.
M-150
Maintain Production Related Data     u201CMaster Data Maintenanceu201D. This subprocess identifies the activities related to requesting changes or additions to production related master data. Once a need for master data maintenance is identified, a request is submitted for approval. Data defining production capacities and performance standards (e.g. line efficiencies, material yields, etc.) require Corporate level approval prior to maintenance. Other data that is more specific to internal planning functions are maintained at the plant level. Maintenance requests are returned to the originator whether the request is approved or not to improve communication throughout the system. This subprocess may be triggered by: annual operations budgeting process process/production equipment upgrade or replacement change in facility work schedule (i.e. planned hours or days) change in personnel required to operate process/production equipment new products, formulations, or packaging.
M-160
Operations Execution Reporting     Gather manufacturing information at various points in the production process. Prepare management reports both at the detailed level for plant management and summary level for senior operations management. Reports will be available on-demand and will include - volume, efficiencies (mechanical, line, and labor), yields, downtime, asset utilization, environmental, safety, quality, and financial data. A major goal of this sub-process is to define a consistent method of calculating operations metrics. Some plants will use line information systems and PCSs to collect information. Not all plants are equipped with these systems and the where they do exist, the level of sophistication varies.
M-170
Manage Process Reliability     Optimize capacity by reducing process downtime and ensuring compliance to quality expectations by the reduction of rejects. Install tracking systems to measure line time utilization, quality results, process settings. Conduct root cause analysis, and use the data to develop and implement improved operating procedures.

Thank you for your prompt response. I'm assuming you are still proposing to use Sales order -> purchase order -> invoice verification -> Customer billing process flow. Is that correct?

Inventory report for valuation type

Hi experts,
Is there any SAP standard reports can show the inventory value based on the valuation type?
we have actived the split valuation, so one material may have several valuation types. Different valuation types have different MAP and amounts. Now we want to find the inventory value for each valuation type, for the whole inventory.
tcode such as MB51 only can display every movement details, we want to find a report for all materials.
Thanks.

Hi
Pls try MB5L
