SALES order Stock does not Exist as well Please inform me Costing procedure in this scenario.
*is it necessary to run MRP in this scenario?*
Please see the all Details of Business so that U can give answer properly.
One is raw fabric (Raw material) which has to passed different process to convert Colored fabric as my Finish product as well I can sale Raw fabric also.
is it possible to maintain raw fabric and Colored fabric with same mat.code?
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.

How can I do ? please suggest any changes
I have only 9 months of SAP experience within short time I have gain lot knowledge from this site and other reading material as well my learning Learning thirst.
thanks to all SAP gurus..
THANKS IN ADVANCE .... Definitely I will reward points even if my some questions get solved...

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

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

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

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.

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

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

Maintain the correct MRP parameter for the material, i.e., special procurement type for stock transfer in MRP2.
So, you have set this up and it generates the stock transfer requests.
Note that the STO will have the account assignment for sales order stock.
Check following links for hints:
Re: Material xxxxx in plant xxxx is configurable and will not be costed
CK11N:Costing done for Configurable material is throwing error
Hope this can assist you.

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

MTO(Make to Order) SD Configuration

Hi ,
Our client want to implement Make to Order scenario.
Can anyone pl guide about the configuration required in SD?
Thanks in advance.
Pallavi

Hi,
1) You need to have a material with item category group 0001 = MTO (Normal Item)
      In MM01, basic data tab, Gen.Item category field 0001= MTO , 0002 for configurable material
2) In MTO availability check - checking group is 02 (individual requirement) in General/Plant tab.
3) Create an order VA01 there you will see item category as TAK, schedule line as CP, and requirement type as KE
     In VOV7 TAK Billing relavence is A and pricing is X.
     In VOV6 for CP the movement type is 601
4) MB1C to initialize the stock with special stock indicator E (means 561E)
5) MMBE to check the stock if it has been created or not.
Lastly do the delivery picking and billing.
Regards,
Sridhar

GATP allocation check for configurable material with characteristic

Hi APO Gurus,
We are using configurable products and wanted to go for GATP allocation check based on Characteristics.
The scenario is goiven below,
All our products are configurable materials. At the entry of sales order , the characteristic values are updated and then the sales order is checked for GATP.
When the order come to APO-GATP for allocation check , here I want to check the allocation for configurable material.
But the allocation quantities are given for a combination of Configurable material and its characteristics.
How can we map such scenario?
Do I to create the CVC at family level that is configurable material level ?
How the characteristic values are considered in allocation.
Waiting for your reply.

Costing Run for Configurable Material

Hi,
When I try to run costing run CK40N for KMAT material, I am geting information "No materials selected" for the 'selection' flow-step.
Below is the Error description.
No materials selected
Message no. CK277
Diagnosis
Due to the costing variant used, no materials could be selected for the cost estimate.
System Response
No materials were selected.
Procedure
1. First, check that the materials you want to cost exist.
2. Then go into Customizing and check the costing variant, the reference variant, and the transfer control. If the plant changes, a suitable transfer strategy must be entered in the transfer control belonging to the reference variant.
Thanks in Advance,
Shiva

hi Shiva,
It is not possible to do the cost calculation for configurable materials in CK40N or CK11N.
To do the product costing it is mainly required the BOM and Routing, but in case of configurable materials the BOM and Routing are not fixed(here Super BOM/Super Routing are used with valid object dependencies which may result in "n" number of material variants)
To do the costing for configurable material you can use t code - CU50 (configuration simulation)
Here in CU50 you can select the characteristics values which ultimately selects the valid BOM and Routing required for variant production and do the costing and check.
Please check
