Kanban for eWM materials

Greeting,
We are trying to enable Kanban for a location that is managed by eWM system. our production system is 4.7 R/3 while our eWM platform is SCM 7.1. So when we try to use the standard kanban transaction to create control cycle we received the message <Kanban replenishment for wm storage location is not possible>. So since we don't interface our production system with eWM and the only thing that we need to do in eWM system is to PGI a material we are thinking to do core mode change.
More explannation: since the only check in PK01,PK02, PK03 is only one set of code where it check if the location is exist in T320 table then we are thinking to comment this part of the code and then we will able to proceed with creating CC for warehouse managed materials without any other issue.
So the question, did anybody has same issue, or tried to do same solution that I suggested here?
if yes, what was the impact of this on the system.. any thing that we should concern about and test it after we apply this change?
if no body used this solution, can you think of any risk we might encounter because of this change?
Thanks

Hi,
Thanks for reply... Can you breif me the procedure to achieve it..In material master, where i need to mention it....

Kanban for finished goods (discrete manufacturing)

Hi gurus,
I am using kanban for finished goods(with MRP) to triggers production order(discrete manufacturing). If i set the status "empty" system is creating a planned order directly. It is not coming for MRP run. I suppose, that planned order should be created through MRP run(since i am using kanban with MRP). Can you please tell what settings i need to be checked?
Regards
Rajib Pathak

Hi,
Pls. find details about settings for KANBAN With MRP:
KANBAN With MRP
Prerequisites
In this process, the storage location assigned to the supply area is not excluded from MRP.
If a material is planned and procured with MRP, you must make the following settings:
You must maintain a valid MRP type for the material. This means, the setting "ND" (No planning) is not allowed.
You must maintain all other control parameters required for MRP for the material.
You must maintain a repetitive manufacturing profile (in the MRP data screen) for replenishment strategies with a cost collector (in-house production with run schedule quantities, manual KANBAN). In the SAP standard system, a profile is available that is specially intended for KANBAN, that is, using this profile, the system creates a cost collector without a run schedule header.
Features
Here, the total production quantity or the procurement quantities of a certain period are planned in the planning run and the replenishment elements are also created in the planning run. For in-house production, you can use either Repetitive Manufacturing or production orders to plan the production quantities per period. For external procurement, all the standard replenishment elements are available. The replenishment elements created in the planning run, however, are not intended to trigger production or replenishment directly. Instead, they exist to provide the supply source with a preview. Actual production and material flow are controlled and triggered by setting the kanban to FULL and EMPTY. Backflushes and goods receipts are posted with no reference to the kanban. This means that you can backflush daily quantities, for example.
In this procedure, the following is valid for materials with BOMs:
Components that are used in KANBAN materials can be planned using any one of the MRP procedures. However, the system has to be organized so that the supply source does not produce the material for the replenishment element created in MRP immediately but awaits the kanban request.
As the system creates preview data in the procedure with MRP, it is particularly useful for replenishment with run schedule quantities (Repetitive Manufacturing) and scheduling agreement releases.
HOpe this helps.

Hi,
Once you have entered the needed information about the connection string and container, go to Object Tab and select the objects. then the Start button will enabled.
Another way to reverse engineer is to use ERD component. Refre to the Note 299067.1 in Metalink.

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

Standard Report to check consumption values for multiple materials

Hi,
Is there any standard report to check "consumption" values for multiple materials? The user needs to check the consumption values over a period of time for multiple materials (VERP, ROH) before deciding the re-order and safety stock values for them. Any help on this will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Swapnil

Dear Swapnil,
Report MCRE is widely used for the material cosnumption than checking in COOIS.
Also these reports can help you.
MCPF                 Material analysis: Dates
MCPO                 Material analysis: Quantities
MCPW                 Material analysis: Lead time

How to maintain One product cost collector for multiple materials and configuration setting

Hi experts,
my requirement is that i want to maintain one product cost collector for multiple materials ans also i want to know the configuration setting for the same.
I have used KKF6N but it is not working in my case. I went through KKF6M also but there i found multiple cost collectors.
please guide me in the same.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Shripad,
you cannot assign same Product cost collector to different material.
Because you creating cost collector for material combination of material /production version,material /Bom Routing.
so please create individual cost collector for every material.
if you have any query kindly revert back.
Please mark the answer as helpful if it is helpful to you.

One pr for multiple materials with line items while running mrp

Hi SAP gurus,
              I am config the system for MRP as per my client requerement.
                 We use CBP for different RAW materialsfor example they having a 10 materials for planning,were,
         MRP type is VB,
          LOT size is FX,with Different Reorder points and fix order quantity for all materials,
         My client whant run MRP for all these materials in single time that means they whant multiple item at single levels,
        i soles these requirement with the help of Product Group(sop) and its working but when we running md02 for product group all materials have planed and they give different purchase requistion numbers for all these materials but my client Wants single purchase requistion with line items for all these materials.
     Pls give me the solution for that requirement.
thanks and Regards,
abhi

this is not the way SAPs MRP run works.
Where is the benefit for this?
the requisitions are not even split into header and item table, it is just one table EBAN, and either way you would get exact the same number of records in EBAN.

Is it possible to combine multiple Pur Reqs for multiple materials to one vendor into one PO through MD07?

We have material planners who use MD07 (traffic signal screen) Stock/Requirements List, Collective Access tab to review material requirements by MRP Controller. Once the list is created, they select individual materials and review them in MD04. In a lot of cases, Purchase Reqs (PRs) are reviewed and adopted into POs individually for each material. Sometimes they will combine multiple PRs for one material into one PO. This is a good practice. However, from what I have found, it is not possible to combine multiple PRs for multiple materials into one PO. If this was done it would dramatically reduce the number of POs that we are issuing to suppliers. Problem statement: We issue too many POs which causes additional influxes down the line (receiving dock/goods receipts processing, receiving issues, invoices, invoice issues, etc.). Does anyone know of a way to address this problem without a major overhaul in approach or customization of the system? Thank you in advance!

Hello Michael
As far as I know, this is not possible directly from MD07, only from the MM transactions.
The following thread suggests the following procedure to convert several PRs into one PO:
Conversion of multiple PR into single P.O
Drag and drop the first PR from the item overview to the shopping card on top of ME21N,
then open the PO detail delivery schedule tab and drag and drop all other PR to the shopping card shown in the schedule tab
You can use the same procedure, calling the order conversion from MD07 and then drag and drop another PRs into this PO.

Kanban for SAubcontracting Items

Hi all,
We are using Subcontracting for some of our sub-assemblies,we send the components required for these sub-assemblies to vendor against a PO against the movement 541.and when we receive the sub-assembly from vendor we make GR for sub-assembly(mvmt 101) and components get backflushed from vendor stock(movement 543).Presently all this system is handelled manually.
Now we want to take this process in KANBAN.Can we use Scheduling agreement for subcontracting activity.
Pl. suggest how we can use KANBAN for this activity.
Thanks & Regards
Sandeep

Thanks Tajuddin ,
I have tried creating the scheduling agreement. but the problem with sch. agreement is we can not send the components against it unless we trigger the schedle line(BOM doesn't get exploded when we try to do stock transfer[541 mvmt] w.r.t this sch. agreement)
In our case we are sending the components required for making the subassembly in big lots(e.g. for 15 days requirement) and while getting the subassemlies we want to use SAP KANBAN ,so that schedule lines get triggered whenever we trigger the KANBAN and vendor supplies us the subassemblies as per those sch.lines .
Pl. suggest
regards
Sandeep

Text Mandatory only for Certain Materials in Sales Order

Is there anyway so that I can make certain item text mandatory only for certain materials?
I tried creating new item category group and new item category. And then create new Text procedure making this text mandatory and assigning to this new item category.
But there are lot of different types of item categories assigned. So it does not look good to create new item category for each and everyone for this new item category group and material.
Please guide me how to make the document incomplete for certain materials only when one text is not filled at item level
Thanks in advance

Hi,
what you tried is correct and that is been followed in most of my projects wherever I worked. That is the best way recommended also.
If you try with incompletion procedures for item category also, you will endup doing multiple item categories anyway....
First when I looked at the subject line, even before I opened your POSTING, I got the same resolution as you did....May be the optimal one but, not sure, if something else is possible other than by doing user exit.

How to activate the new fields on material master(MM01/MM02/MM03) for existing Materials

Hi,
We have a requirement to add some custom fields as a new tab in additional data option(Descriptions, Unit of measure, etc.) in Basic data of Material master (MM01/MM02/MM03). I have successfully added and these custom fields and they are not part of standard(MARA, MARC) but a custom table and the updates are also done in custom table.
For new materials, I can see the new tab in additional data screens of basic data view and I could successfully create/change/display using MM01/MM02/MM03. However I cannot see the new tab/fields for existing materials in the system in all 3 tcodes (MM01/MM02/MM03). This is not a main view in material master so that I can extend it by MM01.
Is there any setting or mass generation program I have top perform so that I can see and maintain these new fields for existing materials. Appreciate any leads or help on this.
Thanks,
Harry

Issue in Exporting the Sales Price List and Purchase Price List for the Materials from SAP Business ByDesign (SAP Cloud)

Hello Everyone,
I would like to have a discussion on the issues, which I am facing at the time of Exporting the Sales Price List and Purchase Price List for the Materials from
SAP Business ByDesign (SAP Cloud).
(1). Sales Price List :
We have maintained Customer Group Specific Sales Price List for the Materials in the following Location.
Location :         Product and Service Portfolio Work Center > Pricing > Price Lists > Customer Group Specific Price List (Type of Price List)
Target :             We want to export the entire records in some reports or excel sheet.
Records :          Number of Materials in the Customer Group Specific Price List is more than 2,00,000
Issues :
                                     (A). In the SAP Business ByDesign Screen we can filter by number of records but we can export till 50,000 records.
                                             And if we are trying to export records more than that limit, then it throws "HTTP 500 Internal Server Error".
                                     (B). We could not find any SAP standard reports in Product and Service Portfolio and/or Business Analytics Work Center
                                            for getting the entire record set of the Sales Price List, so that we can have the entire set of records together.
Searching For :
                                      (A). Is there any SAP reports or data source available for getting the entire Sales Price List records?
                                      (B). Can we have any other filter conditions for exporting the Sales Price List records in a single shot or module wise?
(2). Purchase Price List :
We have maintained the Purchase Price List for the Materials in the following Location.
Location :           Product Portfolio Work Center > List Prices > Active List Prices (Type of Price List)
Target :               We want to export the entire records in some reports or excel sheet.
Records :            Number of Materials in the Purchase Price List is more than 4,00,000.
Issues :
                                       (A). In the SAP Business ByDesign Screen we can not see more than 10,000 records and the actual number of
                                               records are more than 4,00,000. We could able to download the records till 10,000 but that is not sufficient.
                                               We want to export the entire records in an excel sheet.
                                       (B). We could not find any SAP standard reports in Product Portfolio and/or Business Analytics Work Center for
                                              getting the entire record set of the Purchase Price List, so that we can have the entire set of records together.
Searching For :
                                       (A). Is there any SAP reports or data source available for getting the entire Purchase Price List records?
                                       (B). Can we have any other filter conditions for exporting the Purchase Price List records in a single shot or module wise?

Defaulting a Cost Center during PR/PO creation for Indirect Materials

Dear Gurus,
When creating a PR or PO for indirect materials (No Material Master/Numer), is there a way to default a Cost Center (maybe based on the Material Group) in the PR/PO during creation ?
I know that there is a way to default the GL Account Code via Entry Aids. Is there something similiar for Cost Center ?
Thanks

I don;t think it is possible via config but you can do it with User exit where you can insert the logic for account assignment category and Material group combination and material number is blank than insert the particular cost center into the cost center field.
use PR item level user exit for PR and same way for PO.

Data not updating for raw materials only in cube level

HI all gurus,
we have flow like ods1->ods2->cube1,cube2 and cube3.
In ods1 we mapped ZMATERIAL WITH OMATERIAL.
In ods2 we mapped zmaterial with zmaterial directly.
In cube we mapped zmaterial with zmaterial only but also we added 0mat_type in update rules of cube. i.e.we mapped in update rules 0mat_type is master data attribute of zmaterial.
But the problem is ods2 is mapped to cube1,cub2 and cube3 parllelly.
But the data is not populating to cube2 and cube3 only for rawmaterials i.e 0mat_type is having 15 material types(finished ,semi finishe and rawmaterials) only 4 raw materials are not showing any data for these two cubes but for one cube1 it is showing data for all 15 material types. (including raw materials)
what could be the problem.
I checked the Attribute change run.
I checked the data in masterdata also zmaterial and 0material.(data is available upto date).
Please help and i will definitely assingn the points.
It's very urgent becauz total my development work is stopped.
Thanks & regards,
Kumar.

Hi,
Check the material values in cube2 and cube 3 for records not having 0mat_type and then using that material check the material master data table to confirm whether mat_type is present for those materials or not.
Also, if you have written any start routine in update rules for cube 2 and 3 then check that too.
