Item categoty N

Hi PP gurus..
I've this problem: is it possible in customizing setting the item category N WITHOUT the direct procurement, so without the borning of purchase request in planning?
Or is it necessary (if possible) to create a new item category (i.e. copying N category)?
Regards,
S.Legnante

excuse me for my english...
I explain:
if a component in a Bom is N as item category, after running of Mrp of end-item it will create purchase request for "N" component, 'cause they're non-stock component..
Is it possible in customizing modify this item category N (or create a new item category), to NOT CREATE purchase request when Mrp of end-item run?

Batch split items to feature in billing document

Dear Friends,
While creating replenishment delivery through VL10B against P.O., batch split is taking place. My requirement is , while creating the billing document the main item should not feature and only the batch items should show in the billing document. Thereafter the same should show in the print preview.
Please suggest how the same can be done. As per some existing threads, i have changed the billing relevance of the item categoty to M and also i have maintained G as billing quantity in copy control VTFL. But that does not solve the problem.
I shall be obliged if anybody can suggest some solution.
Regards
Raja

Hi,
I really doubt if this can work or not.. but still then you can give a try:
- Just put "P" as billing relevance in your item category and check if your requirement fulfills or not...
- VTFL config is ok as you have done.
I have never tried this kind of thing but you may try and post back..

Item category W

Hello
Item category W(contract items), can this be used for materials without material
master records.?
Thank you

Hi Sunil,
The contract specific item category W(material group) is available to represent contractual agreements for group of materials.The item category W is intended for the entry of contract items without specification of the material number(without material master record).
Item category W is recommended for materials belonging to the same material group but with different prices.Item category can only be used in value contracts.
Example of use of item categoty W:
You have set up a contract with your vendor for various types of cables.The contract is to cover all types of cable included in the vendor's price list.However the exact type is only determined when a purchase order is created for a certain cable.Instead of creating one contract item for each type of cable in the vendors assortment,you could enter the item category W and the appropriate material group.
Hope this will help you

Text item cateory for variant config item

Hi,
I'm trying to create a text type item category for a variant config item. I tried to use the std TEXT but it doesn't work possibly coz its a variant config item. The item category grp assigned to this item is 0002. I used ZVAC and removed relevant for delivery n billing as I don't wnt this item to b relevant for either or even appear in either of those. But it still doesn't work. When i create the order and enter the item and hit enter, it takes the default item category grp for that order type (TEXT item category is added in manual item category field) and it grays out. I cannot make any changes to this item category although the order has not even been saved yet.
Has anyone done any such config or know anything abt it? Pls help.

0002 is basically for single-level configuration. So right there you are probably getting the issue, as well as using the standard TEXT item categoty..
0004 is for multi-level config, which is, I guess, what you are looking for.
But you will also want some other "Z__" item category defined for what you are looking for - don't use TEXT. I know, then it's a pain 'cuz you have to do all the copy control, but you really need to.
Now with your new "Z__" make it Non-pricing-delivery-rqmts-picking-delivery-billing-etc.
It's lots of fun, isn't it !

Where to maintain processing and related charges

Hi gurus,
Customer gies material-Meat to our company to process(cut into peacs etc) to our company and Our company process meat
and delivers to customer. Here we charge customer fr processing the meat, charges for storaging if it is required, and also charging carrying charges for labour etc for picking and packing. Here i have to charge customer for processing, storage and carrying every time customer gives material for processing.
Can anybody tell me how to do whether i need to create dummy material for processing, how to maintain condition types, also where need to maintain condition type for storage and where these storage charges apply is it at delivery doc level and where i need to maintain carrying charges. at which sales doc level these charges have to be applied( at delvy or invoice level)
Pls advice me
regards

I can mention some steps to start with -
1. Go to VOV8 - open Doc, type OR - click on 'Copy As' button - change the order type (any name starting with Z e.g. ZSER)
2. Go to SPRO->Sales and Distribution-> Billing-> Create Billing type
Here also create a new billing type by copying F2
3. Go to VOV7 - create item categoty ZTAD by copying TAD
(all your copy controls will get copied - you can check at VTFA)
(in all the steps above whenever any prompt appears asking of coping data - always select Yes)
Now for pricing -
1. You need to create condition tables (V/03) with fields which determines price (e.g. weight, etc.). Then create an Access sequesce (V/07) and assign the condition tables to it.
2. Create Condition types for each of the charges (V/06). You can copy standard cond. type PR00 to create condition types. But only one condition can have condition class as price (e.g. Processing) rest should be Discount or Surcharge.
Change the calculation type as Quantity (for service items you need to enter the weight of meat being processed in quantity column). Assign the access seq. to the cond. types. You can allow manual entry by leaving the No Limit field blank.
3. If you have taxes - you need to create condition types for that in a similiar way with calculation type %
4. Next you need to do entire pricing procedure set up (V/08)
Finally GL account assignment -
T-Code - VKOA
Its difficult to explain here all step by step processes. The above may help you to start. Pls. go through SAP help and other step-by-step documentations available on the internet on Pricing Configuration and Account assignment. Hope this helps.

Process for billing the customer if the repair does not fall under warranty

Hello,
I got one issue related to repair process, We have restricled the item quantity to only one at item categoty level. BUt i am facing the below problem with my cklient
what is best practice for billing the customer if the repair does not fall under warranty?
Please suggest which process i suggest to client

Hi there,
When you mean warranty, where is that updated in the system? In any master data or Z table?
Usual practise is basing on the serial num of the material. From the serial num, users will be able to back track from which sales order this material is initially delivered to the customer. The info is stored in standard tables (for eg EQUI)
One way of doing this is to define a 100% discount condition type in your pricing. Thsi discount will apply only when the customer is in warranty. For this you will need to write a code in teh requirement routine for that condition type in V/08. If warranty is stored in a Z table, then call that Z table & compare it with your sales order. If yes, only then 100% discount will apply & repair cost will be zero. Else, repair charge will be billed to customer.
It depends how your business will monitor repairs. If they raise a service order, then you will need to define a service pricing procedure in which you will include the 100% discount. In this case service order is always referenced with ref to a sales order.

Purchase Requestion for Third Party Sales Order

Hello Team
I want the system to create Purchase Requisition automatically and some times Manually (Possible if both Option are available) for the Sales Order which belongs to Third Party.
How to achieve this?
Thanks
Nick

Hi Nick
Following are the steps of third party:
1) Creation of third party sales order
2) Generation of automatic purchase reqisition through the configuration of schedule line CS in SD.(schedule line is determined by the item categoty and the mrp type.
please dont maintain mrp type in the material master.so that it will determin CS directly.
in the tcode VOV6,please check whether the document type NB is maintained for CS.
This will created auto PR).
3) You can check the PR Number in the schedule line tab of sales order.PR requirement will not be available in the MD04.
4) Manually create a PO for vendor with item category S.
5) There will be no GR in this case.
6) Create an invoice verification document.
7) Create an invoice from the SD side w.r.t Sales order.
Hope this might have answered ur question

Enterprise structure for construction business

Hi ,
Here the business case like this "We are implementing SAP for construction company , i have some doubt in enterprise structure becaue in construction company they don't have any perticular manufactureing Plant , there will be have different project site and these go on changeing as per the project period . So my question how to design logistic enterprise structure for construction business" and how to integrate these with PS
Edited by: Raghavendra Balegar on Jul 2, 2009 6:29 AM

Dear
1) Each project you can consider as a plant ( where u can valuate the stock at plant level),
2) and difeerent storage locations under plants depends on your material types like ROH,HALB,ERSA,FERT...ect
3)purchase organisations like if have a contracts create one referance pur.org and if require create one more pur.org at local purchases
4)PS consultant has to create each project as WBS element ,under WBS element networks, under networs activities
5) PS-MM integration
When ever Project people requires material as per their planning, they required to accocate the material to particulat activity say if they want cement they need to allocate cement to particulat activity ,
system intern will raise PR at activity level and reservation at newwork level ( item categoty should be L in PS)
base on the PR , purchasing people can create RFQ or PO ,GR,IR Like MM standard Procedure (PR account assignment will be Q orP)
based on the resevation GI will be done (m.type 281 Q)

Assignment of Material Component

Hi,
To which activity should we attached material component ( Stock and Nonstock)?
Please explain both for Internal Activty as well as external activity.
Muzamil

Hi,
To answer your question To which activity should we attached material component ":
Lets take an example:
Component "A" is being procured and dispatched to the customer. But before dispatching assume that there is a Factory acceptance test (FAT) for this material, so in your project there would be three activities with FS relation ship:
Procurement> FAT> Dispatch or the Shipment
Now you know very well that this material is needed for sure at the end of the procurement activity or at the start of the FAT activity.
1. Either assign this material to Procurement activity with Allign finish date on the general data tab of the Material "A"
or assign it to FAT activity with Allign start date on the general data tab of the Material "A"
2. So when you schedule the proecet the requirement date on the general data tab of the Material "A" is picked up from that particular activity.
Now to explain your question :When to chose the Stock and non stock:
1. If you wish to dispatch the material directly from the vendor to customer, assigne this material component--delete the procurement indicator and enter "N" as item categoty (Based on the configuration in OPS8) you wll have two options so choose third party order.
2. If you wish to dispatch the material after it is received in your own plant then chose "L" as item category and save it..
Hope it is clear now.

Do not want to do MB1B(stock reservation in sales order)

hi all..
our client is working on Make TO order scenarios.
currently they create sales order and reserve the stock with the sales order using Tcode MB1B and movement type 412 "E".
but for certain reason they dont wnat to do the MB1B anymore and want to take material directly from storage location without any reservation.
so how is it possible to skip this step in the process.? at this time if they dont do the MB1B, they cant do the delivery.
please guide me on,
1. whether MB1B is assined to sales document type or item categoty and how?
2. how to configure these setting changes?
please guide.
Deepak..

Dear Deepak
I dont know why you are using MB1B in MTO scenario. As you would be aware, goods can be produced only against a specific sale order in MTO scenario and this cannot be diverted to any other sale order. If stock is available even that also, it would have been blocked against existing order.
If you are reserving exstock against sale orders, it should have been Make To Stock scenario. First decide which process you have adopted and then go accordingly.
thanks

Creating summary delivery

Hello! Please, help me in creating delivery.
I have 2 orders with different sector. How I can create 1 summary delivery?

Hi
Different sectors means what?
Can you elaborate little more?
Assuming that your delivery document type for both the orders is same, you should be able to generate one delivery provided, the following are same in all orders
u2022     Ship To Party
u2022     Inco Terms
u2022     Confirmed quantity date at schedule line level
u2022     Delivery priority
u2022     Shipping Point
loading group
Item categoty
Delivery date/due date
Route
All being the same you should be able to combine
Order combination also should be ticked in CMR
Also in VTLA maintain combination requirements as 051 at header level and at item level pls ensure that you have maintained 101 in the order requirements field item data 101 and business data 2
T code VL10A thro this you can do collective delivery
If it is of of two different divisions that means is it of two different sales areas i doubt whether you can combine
But you can test it out and post the out come
