Item category for Configurable material in return sales

Hi all
I would like to know the Item category for the Configurable Material in Sales Returns process. (In MTO scenario)
Thanks and Regards
BMS

Hi BMS
The item category will be REN , because the return process is same . But the only thing is in REN item category you have to maintain the BOM data as item categroy TAC has
Secondly make sure in item category determination in VOV4 you determine the item category REN .
For example RE + 0004 + --- + = REN

Material variant replacement in sales order for Configurable Material

HI
I am using variant configuration. In this i have created material A as configurable material and have Preconfigured Material B as its variant by assigning configurable material in MRP 3 view.
Now when i am creating Order for material A i.e. Configurable material and the characteristics values are same as that of Preconfigured material system is not replacing Configurable material with Preconfigured material.
Please help me out.
Regards,
Anand.

Even after maintaining the item category MTAC(Mills Make to order config at mat level), the configurable material is not getting replaced in the sales order (va02). It is just showing material variant exists for the configurable material.
The setting in item category for configuration is.
Config. Strategy 01(Sales Order Strategy (TAC, TAM))
Mat. Variant Action 4 (Replace configurable material (Append and change))
ATP material variant 2 (Do not substitute if not completely available)
Structure scope D (Configuration, poss. with BOM explosion)
I have maintained the stock for material variant as well to take care of ATP material varinat setting shown above.
Please suggest if missing something.

Problem creating a sales order for configurable material in SAP ECC

I have a Variant Configurable material named X.
The structure of this VC material is
Material X has charatcertics CHARCTERISTIC1 and CHARCTERISTIC2.
CHARCTERISTIC1 has values VALUE1
CHARCTERISTIC2 has values VALUE2
I created a sales order manually from VA01 using configurable material and read the values of all configuration tables to be filled from BAPISDORDER_GETDETAILEDLIST. With the help of this data i got an idea how to fill the tables of BAPI BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2. But still i am able to create a sales order but the configuration data that i give is not getting populated in the sales order.
Where am i missing. please some body suggest. I am unable to debug and searched the forums
for this information but dint find solution for my problem. some body please tell me where am i missing?
Any help would be highly appreciated

Change Sales Order Item Category for a configurable material with config

Hi
My problem is related to Variant configuration. We have a requirement that depending on the ordered quantity and required replenishment lead time the business scenario for a configurable will get changed. that means some characteristics value selection will trigger the business scenario to be followed, whether it will be Make to Order, Buy to Order or 3rd Party drop-ship order. and the business process to be followed will be triggerd by the Item category to be selected in the sales order line item.
so , the requirement is to change the item category of the sales order line item with the carecteristiocs value selection in the variant configuration screen. As we know, when ever the material is getting entered in to the sales order line item, depending on the Item category group in the material master data the item category in the sales order line item used to get determined. after that when we are selecting the characteristics value set in the variant configurator, systen shoud chage the already determined item category of the sales order.
Hope I have clearly furnished my problem and requirement. Can anyone show me the way to fulfil my requirement. Any further clarification requirement to understand and resolve the issue is cordialy appriciable.
Regards'
Som

Thanks Krishna
But as u mentioned the way to make the non editable field into editable one. But that will applicable in case of manual chage. But can it be applicable for changing the Item category by using Object dependency??
Actually in our scenario, for some of the item category that field in the sales order line item remains editable. we have tested with that also. Once the item category is getting determined, object dependenct is not able to modify the item category in the sales order line item.
I have explores something, if I include PSTYV field in VCSD_UPDATE, will it work? VCSD_UPDATE is the table that contains field of sales order can be modified with the usage of object dependency.
Please let me know ASAP.

Supress VC in sales order for configurable material

Hi,
this might sound like a weird request but I am looking for a way to prevent variant configuration for a configurable material in a sales order.
For internal process purposes we would like to create an intermediate sales order with a custom document type and custom item categories.
When we create the document we reference 'real' sales orders which contain configurable materials.
When copying those items over to the new custom sales order type, I'd like to prevent the VC for this item in the new order.
The custom item category I set up is not marked as configurable (no configuration strategy/structure scope/etc...)
I tried to do this with custom code in copy control but it still is bringing up the VC screen which I want to prevent.
Appreciate any ideas which could help.
Thanks,
Markus

Hi Markus,
I believe whether the configuration screen should appear or not depends on whether the material is marked configurable or not in the master data. Therefore, it may not be possible to realize your requirement via the item category settings. You probably need to do some debugging to figure out where the configuration screen is called and then add some item category based check there.

Akshat

We need a No-Charge TAQ item Category for a Sales BOM

We have a situation where we will bring in several Sales BOM's on a Sales order, but need to have one or more of the Sales BOM's to be a No-Charge item (similar to a TANN Item Cat).
We are using ERLA (top down) Item Category Group for the Sales BOM materials and when we use these materials in a sales order I would like to be able to change the some of the Sales BOM's Item Category to a No Charge category (we created a ZAQ item category for this situation), but when you creating the Sales Order, the top level item where the pricing is (the TAQ item category) is GRAYED out and I can not change it to our new ZAQ category, even though it appears in the drop down list for the Item Category.
Is there any way to make the top level TAQ item category for Item Cat. Group ERLA a maintainable field on the Sales order?

As I know- std , will not support Return scenario of Sales BOM & Free goods.
Work around may be needed to achieve this, other than standard.
Create Zitem category by copying from REN - (ZREN - with structure scope & application), determine item category for sub items as well.
Maintain copy controls accordingly from RE to LR - Ret delivery & RE- Credit for returns.
Test & revert.

Creation of Sale Order for configurable material with availability check.

Hi,
We have a scenario in which the material is configurable. The configurable material (X) has few variants (Ex: X1, X2, X3, X4, X5). While booking the sale order, we use the material number (X).
Further, the material planning is done for the variants X1, X2, X3, X4, X5. The standard variants are planned for production in advance.
1.     While booking the sale order, we want the availability check of the stock (type matching to happen). What needs to be done in configuration?
2.     While booking the sale order, there is a possibility that the configuration selected will not match with any of the standard variants due to some additional requirements of the optional features, in such cases how to link the standard variants to the sale order & create requirement for additional requirements.

Umesh

Hi Umesh,
           1.Create material master for configurable material and variants in mm01.
           2.Maintain BOM for the configurable material in CS01
           3. Configur the variant configuration steps
              a. Create charecteristics T.code CT04
              b. Create values and assign classes
              c. assign the values to charecteristics
              d . Maitain dependence T.code CU01
              e.create configuration profile t.code CU41
              f.stimulate the configuration profile.
4. Do the availability check configuration through this path
IMG --> Sales and distribution > Basic functions ,> Availabilty check and Transfer of requirements.
5. Maintain the Availbility check field and MRP views in the material masters other wise you sit with PP people and do that
I hope it will help you

Lock characteristic value for configurable material in Sales Order

Is there a setting in SAP which can prevent user changing characteristic value for configurable material in Sales Order after production order created for this Sales Order? Currently, it can only works when first delivery create for this Sales Order.
Thanks a lot.

Hi,,
in the characteristic goto additional data tab,
you have a field called not ready for input.
you select this when the value in this characteristic come by calculation based on the previous selection.
that field will be greyed out.
OR
u can even select the no display check box,
by selecting this u cant see the characteristic in the list,, it will give u a popup before leaving the screen.
for this the char has to be a required field.
OR
if any of this is not working then may be u can try out with authorization management.
thanks

I have configured the material as well all pricing BOM, Recipe its working properly.
How can I assign the material to Operation? I am getting GRAY field in New Assignment in change recipe mode ..
Is it possible to use Material type other than KMAT? I want to use Finish material type. If yes How?
Right now I can create Process order from the Sales order but I am facing error in confirmation that Sales Order stock does not exist than I have to transfered stock to Sales order and error get solved temporarily but I want to avoid this manual transaction to remove this error.

Regards,
Bhavik dangi.

Hi,
You can use variant configuration for selling the colored fabric. Use the basic fabric as raw. and maintain variant configuarations to have many variants.
Please use strategy 25. When you run MRP the planned orders will be generated and will be assigned to the sales orders. You can see it on the account assignment tab.
In material master pleasse maintain Individual collective requirement indicator to 1-individual in the MRP-4 view.
Then the stocks will be reserved to the specific sales orders.
Thanks and regards

How to do the Partial delivery for configurable material ?

Hi All,
I am creating a sales order for a configurable material and is trying to do the partial delivery for the same. But, after the outbound delivery the status of the sales order is shown as completed although I have done the partial delivery.
Here are the steps I followed.
1. material I used here is a configurable material.
Main settings.
a. In Basic Data tab, marked as configurable
b. Procurement type='E' in MRP 2 tab
c. Strategy group as 82 in MRP 3 view.
2. I created a sales order for quantity 10
3. Created a production order followed by goods Movement thereby increasing the stock.
4. Did the outbound delivery for quantity 5.
Now if I checked for the status of the sales order using VA02, the status for the line item as well as for the sales order was "Completed" although I had done partial delivery.
I have checked for setting in Customer master record, item category in VOV7. Everything seems to be fine.
I checked for all the information in the FORUM without any help.
Can you please help me?
Kind Regards,
Anupama

Hi,
For Info, I am creating a sales order for Item category TAC.
1. In my case, after completing the partial delivery, in the document flow for Order, the status is shown as completed.
2. In status overview for this item, delivery status indicator is set as 'Fully delivered'.
I did check in the customer master record and the field
Partial delivery per item is set to Blank( Partial delivery allowed)
3. I did run the report RIBELF20 and I am getting this error for all the sales order I created for partial delivery for configurable material.
For Normal item, the status is showing properly.
Is there any other settings I have to check?
I needed this to be working. Please help

Item category for pricing only

Hey Gurus,
I am looking for an item category where the material that we enter as a line item on the sales order is only valid for pricing. We do not want to create a delivery for the material or perform an availability check on that material at the line item level.
For instance,
Material 8000380 is the top level assembly and this is the shippable product to a customer. We would like to add on a custom packaging 6007122. We were thinking that we would create a new material for this, assign a cost and let PR00 allow us to specify the price on the sales order.
Do you gentlemen recommend an approach for this?

Hey Hrishi,
the reason why we want this is that we didn't want to set up variant configuration. IT was decided that we would not use variant configuration since the majority of the options are controlled by our subcontractor.
Since we are not shipping those components to the supplier, we had to have a way of telling the subcontract supplier which materials to put on the finished good. in the case of the packaging, the customer requested special packaging in which case it was decided that we would filfull that request.
Since the supplier isn't charging us anymore for the product, it is already included in the transfer price, but it costs us more money to sell it with the custom packaging, we wanted a way to price it differently on the sales order.
Since we never own the stock for this packaging, we can't really create a delivery against it since it comes with the finished good from the supplier. So we thought that we would create a different material that would represent the packaging and price it on the sales order so that we could recognize the cost and price on the sales order.
Let me know if this makes sense.

Item category for free goods that does not require extra free goods

Hi all,
I have created 3 item categories (ZM1J, ZM0J and ZMFJ)
ZM1J is standard item for sales
ZM0J is free goods
ZMFJ is also free goods
I have setup VBN1 for free goods "buy 10 get 1 free" and my order is including these 3 item categories
ZM1J 10 EA and ZM0J 1 EA. These 2 lines are correct as I need.
Then I give other free goods which is ZMFJ 10 EA and system is asking me to give free goods 1 EA but I don't want to give free goods for ZMFJ. I will deliver only 21 EA (10 for sales and 11 for free)
What config it should do for this case?
Another question, ZM0J is selected by default. How to manually change it to ZMFJ in sales order? This is because some case, I still need to use ZM0J.
Please advise. Thank you very much.
Best Regards,
Darin

Hi,
Item category is determined by the four combination
Sales order + item category group + usage + item category at higher level.
Now you are using free goods determination procedure.
So that does not depend upon item category determination.
You have to define the item category determination so that proper delivery and proper pricing happens.
Now if you are giving 10more free item for which you have maintain free goods determination master data.
Then system will automatically give one more free goods for that material.
but if you giving some other material as a free goods then please let me know.
Give your requirement that in which way you want to process your ZMFJ then we can give you better suggestion.
To define alternative item category go to
IMG u2013 SD u2013 Sales u2013 Sales documents u2013 sales document item u2013 assign item category.
Over here you can assign alternative item category for your combination.
If you assign over here then you can change manually in the sales order.

Raj.

Routing for configurable material

Hello PP gurs,
I want to create Routing for Configurable Material in SAP PP-PI or PP industries. How the object dependency is defined applied ?
This requirement is for Make TO Order scenario for Configurable Material.
At present I am working with resources only.
I want to create in such away So that while creating Production order system should ask select BOM & routing.
How can I define the Super BOM & Super Routing in Order?
Is it possible to calculate cost for this kind of requirement?
Please Give your Contribution from Whatever the Questions above....
Thanks & Regards,
Bhavik Dangi.

Dear,
In can explain youn w/ example
Let us say you have to manufactur CAR's(matyerial no in SAP is CAR). The coonfiguration options are - Paint, and tyre
Create a char inn CT04 as piant and tyre with value as below(data type = char)
Paint - white, red, blue and black
Tyre - Redial, Normal
Create materials like White-paint, Red-paint, Blue-paint, black-paint, Tyre-redial, tyre-Normal, Engine
Create a class in CL01 called CAR-CLASS , clas type 300 and assign the above Char to this class
Assign this class to Material CAR.
Create BOm with following items
Engine
White-paint
RED paint
Blue-paint,
black-paint,
Tyre-redial,
tyre-Normal,
Create a object dependency in CU40 type - selcetion condition to selcet red-paint material when in Sales order select paint red. and like this all others.
Selection condition for red paint is as below
Paint = 'red'
Like this for all others
Paint = 'white'
Paint = 'black'
Paint = 'blue'
Tyre = 'Normal'
Tyre = 'Redial'
Assign this object dependency to BOm items
Engine
White-paint -
>Paint = 'white'
RED paint -
>Paint = 'red'
Blue-paint, -
>Paint = 'blue'
black-paint, -
>Paint = 'black'
Tyre-redial, -
>Tyre = 'Redial'
tyre-Normal---->Tyre = 'Normal'
Now create a configuration profile
When you create a Sales order, system will pronmpt to enter the vlaues for piant and tyre
if you have selceted piant as red and tyre as normal, then the BOm will look like as below
Engine
RED paint
tyre-Normal
This is the configured BOM...what you have cretaed is supre BOM.
It is available in PP
