Make-To-Order Production for Service Products
Hi All,
has anyone some experience with SAP R/3 (SD, CS, MM, FI,CO) Make-To-Order Production for Service Products?
Does the Make-To-Order Production Scenarion work for Service Products?
Is there any documentation about Make-To-Order Production Scenarion for Service Products?
Regards

Creation of EBP Purchase Order for Service Products in MM
Hello all,
i have created the service master in MM system and then i have replicated the service master to EBP later i tried to create a EBP PO for Service Products through Sourcing from EBP to MM.
But i am getting a failure message as "Error during determination of backend document follow on documents for shopping cart " and PO is not created anyway.
But i can create PO for Materials with the same process.
I am getting this message only during creation of PO with Service Products.
I request you if any body has the solution please post your valuble information as early as possible.Mahesh
What I understood from your case is you were able to create PR in backend for service items when you assign vendor manually durin g SC creation.
In that case definitely it will create PR instead of PO in backend. Because when a vendor is assigned manually during SC creation. that vendor is treated as desired vendor and not fixed vendor. So it gives suggestion to buyer, who converts PR to PO, to use this vendor.
When a desired vendor is assigned manually, SC is treated as incomplete. SC is complete only when source of supply is assigned automatically.
If you want that desired vendor to be treated as fixed vendor you need to maintain the same in BADI BBP_DOC_CHANGE and method BBP_SC_CHANGE.
If PO is to be created directly(Without BADI logic) make sure vendor is assigned automatically in source of supply section of SC. This can be possible by maintaining vendor list in SRM or maintain a Contract for that product in backend so that system will pick that source automatically.
Try this and see what document is created in backend.
PS:Reward points if the solution is helpful to you.

No organization data for service products
Hi,
I create a CRM service order with a service product. Now there is a message, that the product in sales organization and distribution channel is not scheduled.
Our service products in general don't have organization data, cause they occur from r/3 service master data (transaction ac03).
How to assign org.data to service products in CRM? I cannot assign the set type for org.data to the category of service products cause we download the products with the middleware from R/3.
Regards
JochenHi
Sercie products will be created in CRM in service product type, while creating a service product you have to assign the Organizational data in sales and distribution tab
Thanks

Date Error on the Service Order while using service product
Hi PM experts,
I am working on the scenario resource-related billing, using service product in the service order created from a service notification linked to a contract with service product as the line item. service product is the material of DIEN material type.
when i was trying to save the service order created using transaction code-IW31, i am getting the Error Message:
" *SYS:Date 00.00.0000 not expected*".
This error started only yesterday, and it was not there before. Basis team has confirmed that they have not done any new
updates to the system.
Had anyone encounered this problem before, if yes kindly let me know the solution and the steps to resolve it.
thanks for the help.
regards,
rajaramanHi,
Here is the error description with message number,
SYST: Date 00.00.0000 not expected.
Message no. FGV004
As an update to this thread, while searching for the reasons for the problem, i found that the characteristics used in the
warranty class were carrying default date value as 00.00.0000. can this be a reason for getting this error as the service
product number which is a DIEN material type is linked to the master warranty which is in turn assigned to the equipment.
Hope this information helps.

How to creat CS-order with config service product with own logic
Hi all,
I saw already different threads related to this topic, however no clear solution was given yet.
The scenario is:
Create from a notification list the service orders and determine in the background a correct service product which is configurable. Via an own logic the service product is found in a z-table and and the configuration is done via a seperate logic.
What would be the solution of the above scenario.
I already found some information in using:
CUCB_GET_CONFIGURATION
CUCB_SET_CONFIGURATION
CUCB_CONFIGURATION_TO_DB
But does this work?
How should the logical flow be in using these functionmdules.
We are using BAPI_ALM_ORDER_MAINTAIN to create the service order, however it is not allowed in this bapi to enter a service product which is configurable.
Thanks for your input in this.
Best regards,

"Alternate" Sales Order Costing for configurable product
We are using condition EK02 to record the statistical value of the product cost associated with a make-to-order (configurable) product. Our current accounting system is moving average, so this EK02 value is based on the current moving average of all the components.
Management has a need to store a second statistical value which would be based on standard cost rather than moving average. This value would be used to assess margins on a fixed rather than moving basis. It would not update accounting in any way.
I understand that the method used to perform order costing is configured in SD > Basic functions > Accounting & costing > Maintain requirements class for costing and account assignment. But again, I do not want to change the current method, I want to add a second.
Can anyone suggest a method for doing this?
Thank you,
MicheleHi
For getting margin from standard price in material master ,i think u can use VPRS in pricing conditions.
Use the VPRS and its negative copy for getting actaul margin from sales in pricing procedure.

No item category for service products
Hi,
we download service master (ta ac03) from R/3 to CRM via middleware. These products are stored in CRM as service products without item category group.
How to use these products in service transactions? I want to determine automatically an item category, but without item category group, I cannot maintain a correct determination...
Thanks for any help!
Regards
JochenHi Jochen,
It is because Item Category Group which is present in R/3 is not present in CRM( e.g DIEN item category group for Service without delivery is not present in CRM and needed to be created).
Thus please create the same item category group in CRM.
SPRO Path:
Customer Relationship Management>Transactions>Basic Settings-->Define Item Category Group
Save it.
Download the product again.

Make-to-order: COPS for KMAT materials (Non-valuated sales stock)
Hello,
We are working with KMAT configurable material (i.e. non valuated sales order stock).
The client is requiring that inventory of these KMAT material should be shown in the financial accounting;however as we work with KMAT, this seems not possible.
The whole process is:
- taking of the sales order with the configuration
- MRP and Production order Execution
- Settlement of the PO to the sales order
- Settlement of the Sales orden to a given account in FI (just like "stock for customer order") - inventory.
The problem we are facing now is how to make the compensation of this account once the product is delivered.
It seems the sales order's default settlement receiver is only the PSG. can we have to use the result analysis key to calculate the cost of sales, and which valuation method can we use if I only want to settle the actual cost that settled from the production order.
By the way, I have search for the notes:Note 26459 it seems we have to run the sales cost estimate first for the KMAT.
Summary
Symptom
It is not possible to perform results analysis on sales order items with materials of material type KMAT.
Additional key words
Transactions KKA3, KKAK
Cause and prerequisites
In make-to-order production, the inventory and the cost of sales are not posted through goods movements because the materials are managed in a non-valuated sales order stock. The only way to create postings in FI is to use results analysis (see Note 26456). If the sales order item consists of a material of material type KMAT, results analysis is not possible because no cost estimate exists for this material.
Solution
Results analysis must be performed with a valuation method that uses profit basis C. With this profit basis, the system uses the planned costs of the production orders for the sales order instead of a cost estimate for the KMAT material.
In Release 2.2 a modification is needed for this which is described in Note 25772. In Release 3.0 this function is provided as standard.
From 3.0C onwards the planned costs of the sales order can also be calculated in a product cost estimate for the sales order. You should use profit basis E in this case.
However, if you are using assembly processing with production orders, you can only use profit basis C.
Hope the scenario is clear. Perhaps you have a different approach to work with KMAT materials.

Can you please provide the solution for my problem and its slight urgent.

Make-To-Order MRP for components with unstricted-use stock
Dear Experts,
There is a finished goods of material with standard planning strategy group "20" in the material master.
There is a component e.g. material A, under the BOM of the FG material.
There is already enough unrestricted stock for material A which has no special stock indicator assigned.
After creating the sales order, I use MD50 to run the make-to-order MRP, but the result shows that there a purchase requisition has been generated for the material A with the sales order assigned and specail stock indicator = "E".
Is there any solution so that there will be no PR generated for mat A as there is enough unrestricted-use stock.
And in the production order of the FG, can the component only requires the unstricted-use stock instead of the "E" stock?
(It is ok for the FG goods receipt as "E" stock.)
Thanks a lot.Hi Ram,
Thanks for your information.
I set the indi/coll = 2 and null for the strategy for the component material A
Just want to know, which strategy should I use for the finished goods? And any other setting for the finished goods and the component?
And which transaction MD02 or MD50 for the planning run for the finished goods?
In such setting, after the planning run , PR will be generated for the net external procurement?
Actaully my situation is that I just keep own stock for components, I want MRP to consider the own stock instead of sales order stock before generating PR.
Thanks for your help again.

Sales order creation for service items?
Hi,
My client is a courier company and it wants to implement sap. You offer only service how do you map in sap??. can we create sales order for service items.?. and how about the entire outbound process can be mapped?. Any ideas or insights or practical experience. Kindly share.
Regards,
Jothiswaran.Jothiswaran,
I think it could be mapped with SAP CS - Sale of service functionality in R/3.
Rough Idea:
Create a Sales order with Service product (Mumbai2chennai) with a Task list (Routing - for each stage). Let it triggers a Service order. Confirm each stage in Service order with Truck number for tracking. Once you complete the delivery, do TECO in Service order. May be advance billing or post billing.
Try in SAP CS.

Hi All,
I like to know what are the Scenario for Make to Order Process in MM. Which as to be taken care for the business process in India. If listed out with the flow it will be of great help.
sapuserHai..
Make to order is a production planning strategy.
Make to order normally flows in the below mentioned path.
1) Requirement of FG arises from Sales
2) Sales order will be generated against requirement
3) When MRP runs for the plant, by considering sales order, MRP element will be triggering PR / SA / Planned Order depending upon the settings in material master & other associated records.
4) If planned order has got converted to PR, then subsequently PO can be converted from PR.
5) After that you will be following normal procurement processes as you mentioned like,
Procurement of Stock Material, Procurement with Contract, etc..
Hope it will helps you...

Delivery in Make to Order situation for BOM Material
Hi,
I have the BOM material which is exploreing in the sales order 11005 as
follows -
LineItem Railing 10 (Top Material)
01 A01 10
02 A02 10 (Sub items)
03 A03 10
04 A04 10
05 A05 10
At the time of sales order level, we are sending the requirements to
PPC for the top material Railing, at the time produciton stage PP run
the MRP and do the production for Sub items A01 to A05. When doing the
production confirmation for A01 to A05 materials, system is confirming
the stock against the sales order number 11005 with item no 01.
In our business purpose we are maintaining the stock for top material
and also sub itmes because of Excise purpose. For Top material we are
uploading stock manually with MB1C with Special Stock E and in PPC
doing the produciton of sub items.
At the time of crating the delivery system is not checking stock of sub
items and its showing the stock as 0 because the proudction is
confirmed at line item 10 for sub items a01 to a05.
