Item Category in Stock transfer requisiton.

Hi,
I have created an stock trnasfer requisition thrrough MRP.
Even though supplying plant belongs to Different compnay code, purchase req. is created with Item category U.
is there any setting which triggeres item category U in PR when created through MRP.
No special procurement key assigned in material master and procurement type is F
When i try to create STR manually, it is created with correct item category.
We have same document type for both intercompany purchase and intracompany transfer.

Hi akkshaya,
In standard system, for both intra and inter company STOs, item category is U, with NB doc types of requisitions. You are saying that no special proc key is assigned on MM so how is MRP creating these reqs? Check the creation indicator on the req to see who created the requisition.
Le me know if you would have any questions

Automatic Purchase Requestition creation for item category "L" (Stock Item)

Hi All,
I have a query,
When components are assigned to a maintenance order whose item category is "L" (Stock Item).
As soon as components are assigned a reservation number is generated by the system immediately.
Now my requirement is,
for an item category which is "L" (Stock item), while I am saving / releasing the order, system should do availability check and based on the qty available it should automatically generate reservation (in case of full qty is available) or a purchase requisitions ( in case of non availability).
Is this feasible? If so kindly let me know how it can be done.
Currently in my case,
i am getting a reservation number for an an item whose item category is "L" but the stock qty is "zero". System should have ideally generated a purchase requisitions number for such a case because of actual available qty being "zero"
Is there any setting called "reservation time" so that after checking the availability of that item system decided whether a reservation number should be generated or a purchase requisition number?
Thanks and with best regards
Kannan J

Hi Thyagarajan,
I wud like to share with you a content of SAP documentation which is as follows:
"You can plan materials that are required to execute the task for each operation in the maintenance order. The materials can be bill of material components for the reference object or freely assigned material.
<u>The materials that you plan for the maintenance order will be reserved in the warehouse, if they are kept in stock. You can set the reservation time in your system using the customizing function. In customizing, it is decided for each order type, whether the system should make the material reservation effective or generate the purchase requisition immediately or only when the order is released.</u>
An availability check can be called up when components are assigned in the order.
An automatic availability check is performed when the order is released. The order can also be released if there is no availability.
A material provision list and material withdrawal slips can be printed together with the order papers.
Planned goods issues are entered with reference to the reservation, such as reservation number, unplanned goods issues with reference to the order number.
The goods issues entered appear in the document flow of the order."
Now with this, is there a way out to resolve the issue?
Best Regards

Component item category "N" - Stock

Hi,
We use item category "N" and procurement type Purchase Requisition for Network" for materials components.
Sometimes, once we have assigned the component to an activity we realize there is available stock in a storage location, what means we do not need to purchase the component. What should we do in this cases? We should change the procurement type?
Thanks a lot

Hi,
Standard SAP doesnot check what we require (check Plant stock before raising PR) in this case.
You can make use of the "Res/PR" indicator. Set it to "From Release", add your components & before releasing the parent activity, you can cross check for the available stock & change the material component line items accordingly.
there are also some threads available on the same topic.

Item Category "U" in Intercompany Stock Transport Order

Hi Gurus,
Your expert advise on the below functionality is needed..
Scenario:
Intercompany STO, Document Type : NB , Delivery Type : NLCC
In the Source List, Intercompany Vendor and the Supplying Plant is maintained. Also i have made the Source list relevant for MRP.
MRP is run for the material, SAP generates PR(Document Type NB) with Item Category "U" -Stock Transfer.
I am getting error message when creating PO with reference to this PR, as Standard PO document type NB does not have link to Item Category "U - Stock Transfer".
For Intercompany STO, Item Category should be blank, I am not sure why SAP generates PR with Item Category "U".
If i do not maintain the Source List and generate PR it is created with Item category as blank. Then i am able to manually assign the Source of supply.
Kindly let me, what needs to be done to generate PR for Intercompany STO in MRP without Item Category "U' in it.
Regards,
Hemant

Hi,
SAP creates the requisition with item category "U" even in case of cross-company (intercompany) purchase requisition.
When converting it to PO the item category becomes blank - as I tried and I got no error message.
Please check your settings under SPRO > MM > Purchasing > Purchase Order > Define Document Types (V_T161). You will see (if standard settings have not been changed) that NB requisition type with "U" item category is allowed for NB purchase order type with " " (empty) item category.

Intercompany Stock Transfer starting from Plant Maintenance

Dear SAP Experts,
We are planning to implement Intercompany Stock Transfer Process starting from Plant Maintenance side.
We would like to be able to order for maintenance work order material which belongs to different plant.
After adding such material to work order system should automatically create purchase requisition with Item Category U – Stock Transfer.
Such purchase requisition will be then converted to P.O. Then standard MM process will follow meaning on supplying plant side Delivery & Goods Issue will take place. And on receiving plant side Goods Receipt against P.O.
Can you please let me know whether there is standard process which covers what was described above especially part on Plant Maintenance side?
If there is no standard process can you please advise (propose some best practices) how we can realized such request?
Many thanks in advance.
Grzegorz

From memory, with intercompany trading you need to create a PO/PR on Company A and a corresponding Sales Order on Company B.
This can be automated via MM
I would suggest you ask the question in the MM Forum..

Item Category 'L' (Subcontracting)

Hello,
I would just like to ask if a UB-type PO (Stock Transfer Order) could have an item category 'L' which is Subcontracting. Currently, only item category 'U' (Stock Transfer) is available in the item category field when creating a UB-type PO through transaction ME21n.
Do adding item category 'L' (Subcontracting) in the system's configuration for UB-type (Stock Transfer Order) PO makes any sense?
Please let me know your thoughts regarding this matter.
Many thanks in advance.

Hi,
item category L made for only Subcontract cycle.we can not use L in UB by following reasons.
When u use UB Doc type you can not enter SC Vendor in PO even after config L with document type UB,system shows supplying plant field.
UB can be used in Plant to plant transfer or Company code to company code transafer or Storage location to storage location transfer.
since in subcontracting cycle there is a involvement of SC vendor which has subsidiary ledger under reconciliation account and Goods issue (Components or BOM ) lying with SC vendor under special Stock, which will further consume useing movement type 543 during MIGO this functionality is not possible with UB.
Hope this will clear your doubt.

Query of stock transfer order

Hi experts
I created a cross-company stock transfer order. I use the standard po type.
after creating the po. I use vl10b to create outbound deliver. no issue this step
then I met problem when doing post goods issue. system gave the error message as following
Purchase order 4500000123 does not contain items for a stock transfer
Message no. M7153
Diagnosis
The system did not find any item for a stock transfer in purchase order 4500000123.
Possible causes of error:
You have entered the wrong purchase order number.
The purchase order you have entered is not a stock transport order and the item category of the purchase order items is not U.
The purchase order you have entered is not a standard purchase order for cross-company-code stock transfers.
You can only post goods issues for stock transport orders belonging to this order type in the Sales and Distribution system (SD). You cannot enter the goods issue in Inventory Management.
Procedure
Check whether your input is correct.
Check whether the purchase order is a stock transport order with item type U or a inter-company-code stock transfer.
Perform function
If you have authorization, check in Customizing for Purchasing whether goods issues for stock transport orders in the plant with this purchasing document type are to be posted in the Shipping system or in Inventory Management. If a delivery type has been entered in the Customizing table, the goods issue takes place in the Shipping system.
In Customizing, choose:
Materials Management -> Purchasing -> Purchase Order -> Set Up Stock Transport Order.
could anyone give some suggestion?
thank you

Hi,
check in the same node at customising whether you have assigned a document type for issuing plant(also whether its one step or two step) and also you have to assign a delivery typr for your issuing plant (NLCC).
you have to asssign a customer master in the receiving plant shipping data and sales area details for your issuing plant.

Problem on creation of Outbond Delivery for Stock Transfer Order

Hi all,
We have problem on the creation of Outbond delivery for stock transfer order because the system doesn't group in a unique delivery for different items of a STO order.
We used VL10B or VL10D but the behaviour is the same. Even if we have to handle few items of the Stock Transfer order already scheduled, the scope is to create a delivery which group everything while the system split in several delivery notes.
Could you advice me the way to set in customizing , master data I don't know where else , the rules in order to avoid to split deliveries for STO.
Secondly if we have already created a delivery note is it possible to add a further purchase order item as in sales order processing?
Thank you for any suggestion you will give
Andrea

Dear Kripa,
the first point has been solved. We have checked a SAP Note 386340 which is appropriate to this case.
The second point, the one referred to the additional items to an existing delivery note, is not yet closed and I would like to know further advices from you and the other guys connected to the forum in order to help us to solve the problem.
Thanks for your help

Implications of Item Category in BOM during MRP run

what are the different implications on the MRP run if an item is maintained as "L" for stock, "N" for non-stock, "T" for text item, etc?
how shall it affect the procurement and production process?

Dear
Stock item L
This item category is used to manage material data that allows an item to be kept in stock.If you want to enter a material that is kept in stock as a component, select this item category
Non Stock item N
This item category is used to manage material data that does not allow an item to be kept in stock.
Use this item category if you want to enter a material that is not kept in stock before use, and that is only procured for a specific planned order or production order.
Regards
Abhijit gautam

DRQ:Stock Transfer window column sorting

Customer have a central warehouse (5500 items in B1) where to items are ordered. Customer employees pick and pack the items to the company retail stores around Finland from this central warehouse. The retail stores are warehouses (6) in the SAP Business One. Customer is using a stock transfer for "internal" pick and pack actions according each retails store internal orders. Customer central warehouse employees enter several "internal pick and pack" transactions in the one stock transfer before adding it in B1. There could be 90 items in one stock transfer. After this they start picking items from the central warehouse to the retails store warehouses. Items are not ordered in stock transfer window according the itemnumbers because the internal orders are not send to the central warehouse according items numbers. However the items are ordered in central warehouse according itemnumbers. This is slowing the pick and pack actions dramatically.
Therefore it should be possible to sort items in the stock transfer window as in the sales and purchase documents.

Could I ask why you chose to import opening balances this way? I would say using DTW templates would be very convenient unless you have a compelling reason to use a FMS.
The DTW template (oStockTaking > StockTaking.xlt ) should be used.

Change material Item Category

Hi, maybe this topic already discuss in this Forums.
Can help me.
I have some question.
When i create Order IW31 ( Module PM ) i put material in component which this material Item Category L ( Stock Item ).
when i click button PURCHASING can not create PR error message " material is not a non stock item" and Message no. CO 382
Thanks for share

Hi,
When you put category "L" it means that it will be issued from stock, so you can't purchase it directly to the PM order. In this case you buy it to stock, and then issue it from stock.
In the case when you want to purchase directly to the order without going via stock (direct procurement), then choose item category "non stock".

Cross Company Stock Transfer- Please check excise base for the item is zero

Hi,
My scenario is Cross company Stock transfer (Two different Company Codes)
I have done following steps :
1.Create Purchase Order
2.Create Outbound Delivery for Purchase Order
3.Post Goods Issue for Delivery
4.Creating Billing Document
5.Creating Excise Invoice
6.Printing of Excise Invoice
7.Post Goods Receipt for Stock Transport Order
Till MIGO there is no problem.
I am getting a errro while doing MIGO with reference to Outbound Delivery, when I enter Excise Invoice created in sending plant, I am getting error as
"Please check excise base for the item is zero" - Message no. 4F121
Excise Duty values are flowing as per the excise invoice but system make base value as 0 , I have maintained Assesable value in J1ID also. We are using TAXINN.
Pl. help
Thanks
Vikas

Hi
The best way to slolve this problem, Now is to maintain Assable value in Material Master For reciving Plant.
Hear you can maintain all the chapter id, register A or C, etc
and then try doing GR,
The other way and the permanent solution is
VPRS or equivalent
Condition class B Prices
Calculat.type C Quantity
Condit.category H
Cond.control H Condition value fixed
Condit.origin A Automatic pricing
In this Condition category is most important and by this only system copies the base amount for excise duty calculation in MIGO or J1IEX.
