Kanban with Project Stock

PP Experts,
Its my understanding that PP-Kanban is not currently compatible with project stock. To take that a step further some of my colleagues have gone so far as to say that Kanban does not make sense with project stock. I'm not sure that i 100% agree with that. So - my question:
A - is that true? does Kanban not work with Project Stock?
B - would Kanban in a project stock enviroment even make sense?
C - have you ever had experience implementing a 'Kanban-type' solution in a project stock enviroment and if so what were some of the high-level solution details?
Thanks for any and all help.

Dear colleague,
Unfortunately the process of using purchase order or contract with
account assignment category is not supported except the category K or
a different category but with cost center only.
best regards
maria

MRP ignore unrestricted stock with project stock

We are using Project Stock. When we generate reservations in Project Stock and run MRP, MRP ignors any unrestricted stock in the plant and always creates Purchase Reqs!
Our MRP settings for the Material Master seem correct (zero saftey stock, etc.).
We will want that, when the material is in unrestricted stock, MRP don't creates the Purchase Reqs for the material with reservation in Project stock.
is It possible ??
Thank's for you regards
Serghei

Serghei,
Yes, that is exactly right.
When you create a requirement for project stock, the system will perform a net requirements calculation against project stock. If it finds no project stock, it will create a purreq for project stock.
Now, you have said that your business requirement is that you want MRP to do its work, and to consider unrestricted stock. The only way you can do this is by creating a reservation against unrestricted stock. Project stock is always considered in individual segments, apart from unrestricted. This is a 'feature' of project planning.
It is possible to create a project order, which contains reservations for components, which are valid against unrestricted stock. However, when you create project reservations manually, they will never consider unrestricted.
Exactly what is your business goal in this effort?

Inter comapny STO with Project Stock

Hi,
We have a requirement where in we have company Codes.
Project is assigned to one C.code and the requirement is transferred
to the other company code where the project is not assigned.Intercompany STO is
created with the Project stock.Supplying plant will produce the material and
shipped to the plant of other company code.Outbound delivery is created.When we try to do the PGI We get the Error message "Special stock Q is not allowed ".
Can any let me know how this process is defined in SAP.Standard SAP does not allow 643 Q.
Regards
Kevin

Hi
When ever you receive any material with account assignment , then the value is posted to corresponding account.In your case , stock is posted to Project.You can not transfer tis stock to any other account.If you want to issue this material for STO then you need to move this stock to unrestricted and then issue against the STO.

Subcontracting with project stock

Hi All,
When using project stock as we cannot issue components to the subcontractor in the subcontracting process we have created a new storage location for the subcontractor. So when the components will be sent to the subcontractor we will move the components from one storage location to the subcontractor's storage location using movement 311 Q.
But how do I get the delivery document that should be sent with these components. Is there a SAP standard way of triggering the delivery documents in this case?
Regards,
V S

Hi,
In case of subcontracting PO with account assignment for Project, components are directly withdrawn from the project stock at the time of the goods receipt. But if you want to withdraw the components from the stock of material provided to vendor then you can set the collective requirement field in Material Master MRP4 view as Collective requirements only (2), then you can use ME2O.
The collective requirement field has to be set for the components to be provided.
If you work with this setting then you don't need any seperatestorage location the process will behve as normal subcontracting process.

Problem with project stock valuation class

Dear All,
We have an issue regarding the Revenue Inventory and Capital Inventory. There is a certain balance amount which should be in capital but system is showing in Revenue and vice versa.
The reason for this is that when the material was created, in some materials the main valuation class was 3032(Project) and in some it was maintained as 3030(revenue). But project stock valuation class was not maintained.
Now the problem persists in the G/L balances, the G/L of project stock (132006)displays some amount of revenue(132000) and vice versa.
We tried to maintain the project stock valuation class (3032) for materials for which the main valuation class is 3030 (Revenue),but still the G/L for revenue (132000) is getting hit.
At the end, the requirement is that G/L for revenue (132000) should hit when revenue procurement is there and G/L for capital (132006) should hit when capital procurement is there.
Kindly suggest the way forward.
Regards,
Harsh

Thanks Venkat, we have thought of the same as a last stop but there are hundreds of materials which has this problem and there would be many open documents for them.
If anything could be suggested other then this, and I wanted clarification on one more point that the materials for which main valuation class was 3030 and later we added 3032 in project stk Val class but after maintaining it. When we procure(Capital procurement), it is still showing the balance in G/L 132000(Revenue).

Subcontracting with valuated project stock

Hi All,
We are using MM subcontracting process with project assignment.We have valuated project stock.
When I try to execute transaction ME2O for issuing components to subcontractor I do not get the PO with project assignment. I only get the PO if there is no object assigned in the PO i.e. account assignment category is blank in PO.
Am i missing something here or is this SAP standard?

Project stock and MD51 (or MD03) use with nonvaluated materials (ie ERSA)

I am looking for some help on a CBP(consumption based planning project) we are implementing for materials we treat financially as non-valuated in our
business. MD51 works for valued materials with project stock for us in CBP, but not for non-valuated. I am wondering if we are missing master data or
configuration or limitation or MD51 ? Our scenario:
- We are using material types ROH and ERSA with material type configuration for valuation tracking disabled.
- We stock these materials in project stock with a WBS that is non-valuated and assigned via naming to a supplier name.
- Materials are currently being planned on a external to our SAP system , so no CBP running yet.
- Purchase Requisitions and planned orders are coded for "Q" account assignment for ordering and received against.
- I have MRP2 view /individual collective set to '1' for these materials.
I don't see MD51 when being run for the WBS element for these materials even considering these for CBP run. It ignores with no planning
occurring.
Any thoughts appreciated.

Hello
Please observe that, even if you have defined a consumption based MRP type for the material, system automatically switches to the standard PD.

Account determination for project stock delivery (for movement type 281Q)

Hello
We are trying to carry out delivery for project stock (CNS0) using movement type 281Q.
We notice that there is no account modifier availalbe for this scenario resulting in error during PGI. However, we can do PGI after changing the config of account determination without account modifier.
Since working without an account modifier is not acceptable for various business reasons, we must have an account modifier defined. We are wondering why SAP has not provided a standard solution for dealing with project stock delivery.
Can any one please suggest how to deal this situation.
Thanks and warm regards,
Jagadeeesh

We have business requirement as stated below:
We need to procure materials for specific Projects but also want to track the stock for the Project by value in the invnetory. In other words, the encumbrance of the procurement needs to take place against the Project but we want to be able to take it into inventory as a valuated stock and issue to the WBS whenever it is required.
Is this possible? What we know is that as soon as we give reference of the WBS for the Procurement, it gets expensed to the Project and we cannot value manage in inventory.
The reason for this requirement is there is a long time between when the item is procured and when it is used for the project. Till such time we have to track the Project items in the inventory as any other stock but its still tagged for the project and encumbrance would need to have happened
Any ideas on how to deal with this will be appreciated
Thanks

Project stock issue?

dear ps experts,
kindly let me know what is the right process in dealing with Project stock items issue for customer project.
1. Is it thru MIGO-Goods Issues to Project against Reservation number
2. Delivery thru Sales order - Delivery thru VL01N - PGI from project stock
We are successful thru sales order - delivery thru vl01n - pgi and unable to settle the Reservation number in Project, which is still showing as "Reserved" through MMBE against the same material after delivery thru
Pl help in clarifying us the right process.
Regards
Srihari

Hi
I meet the same problem before. and i can share the experience.
generally speaking, we use CNS0 to deliver the finished or semi-finished products from the project.
then we use VL01N to create the delivery note.
if you only use VL01N, the project will generate reservation again (planned order or PR ) when MRP runs. one way to avoid this is to tick "final issue" in the Proc Para. tab of the material (in the project builder) as soon as you create the deliver note using VL01N. then the no extra reservation will be generated.
if you use CNS0 to deliver, the final issue will be ticked automatically.
it will help you to understand.

Project-Stock Handling units using HUPAST

Hi folks,
we want to use handling units with project stock (SOBKZ = Q). While it's easy to create handling units on project stock with HU02 it does not seem to be possible with HUPAST. System does not allow the edit the field SOBKZ in HUPAST.
Does anybody know how to create handling units with batches from project stock using the transaction HUPAST?
Thanks BR

Projected Stock-Inventory Report for APO

Hi All,
I have to develop Projected Stock-Inventory Report for APO.
I need to fetch data from APO and need to store it in BI for reporting purpose.
Do you have any idea about how to get the required data from APO system?
Where does stock data resides along with projected stock in any SNP aggregate or any table?
Regards,
Krunalkumar Rathod

Hello,
I suppose you mean you want to export the data "stock on hand" in SNP planning book to BW.
This key figure is an auxiliary key figure that calculated by macro. The data is only diplayed in the planning book but not saved to any database table or liveCache.
In order to save it, you can add your own time-series key figure to save the stock on hand. And you'll need to create your own macro to calculate or copy from the auxiliary key figure.
A good way is you can create a macro by copying the "stock balance" macro and just change the stock on hand key figure to your own time serires key figure. Then when you need the data, you can run the macro in background job. By doing this, the stock data will be saved to the time series key figure. Then you can extract it from liveCache as normal key figures.
Please notice the time-series key figure must be assigned to correct aggregates in an SNP planning area.
Best Regards,
Ada

Issues on Copying the Project without Project Stock Checked

Hi,
When I copy the operative project (with project stock unchecked and components assigned to the activity in this project) to create a new project, I checked the project stock in the master data of the new project. Although the new component assigned after the creation of the new porject is project stock, the component copied from the operative project is still not project stock.
Is there any walkaround or solution to make the copied component to become a project stock?
Thanks,
Ting

What was the item category of materials of the old project which you used to copy?

Production Order For Project with plant stock

Hi,
We have a scenario where in we are required to create a production order for a project.
But the material(raw material) is in a storage location and is a stock item. Even the header material is also a stock item and it to stored in the storage location.
But the order is to be created for Project and to be settled to the Project. Now the system is not allowing me to create the order.
The error is :
"Project does not allow make-to-order stock
Message no. CO746
Diagnosis
There is no project stock for the project.
To create a production order with reference to a WBS element the project must allow project stock to be maintained.
Procedure
You should select a project that allows project stock."
Now,
I don't want to have a project stock. How to go forward...
Regards
Pavan

Hi,
What is the strategy you are using. If you are using strategy 20, then chnage it to 40.
Also maintain individual/collective indicator to "1" - individual in MRP-4 view. So that when the order is created, the stock will be reserved as Q-project stock.
thanks and regards
