Material allocation to different Plants

Hi,
We have the follg business scenario:
Plant A supplies to Plant B, C, D etc., Material Requests from Plants B, C, D etc., to Plant A is in the form of STO. We want to allocate Parts from Plant A to these receiving Plants based on customer specific priority / logic (like Date of STO, Lead Time etc.,). Based on the quantity allocated, Goods Issue should be posted to the respective STO at Plant A. Since the volume of transactions are high, we want to carry out allocation through System and then post GI.
Through which functionality in R/3 can the above process be addressed ? Or is there any workaround ?
Thanks.
Raj

Hi,
Thanks for your immed response. I have set SPK to enable STO between Plants B, C, D etc., to Plant A. There is no prob in this. Our actual reqmt is as below:
Let's say MATNR 12345, Stock at Plant A = 5 pcs
Let's assume the follg STOs from other Plants:
2 STOs from Plant B each on Day 1 and Day 2 for Qty = 1
2 STOs from Plant C each on Day 1 and Day 3 for Qty = 1
2 STOs from Plant D each on Day 2 and Day 3 for Qty = 1
Based on Stock at Plant A, we want to alloc (an then post GI) as under:
For Plant B, Alloc = 1 + 1
For Plant C, Alloc = 1 + 1
For Plant D, Alloc = 1
i.e., Plant A decides to send 2 pcs for Plant B, 2 pcs for Plant C and  only 1 pcs to Plant D. This is based on first come first serve basis.
The allocation priority is what we are looking for.
Is there any feature to achieve this as the volume of transactions are high ...
Thanks.
Raj

  • Different Material Types in different Plants

    Hi,
    I have 2 Plant under a Company Code. A material being produced in plant A has to be sent to Plant B for further processing. I would like to maintain single material master for both the plants, but different Material Types. Material has to be treated as Finished Goods in Plant A and Raw Material at Plant B. Could any one please let me know how I can MAP it in SAP.
    Regards,
    Nagaraja Achar.

    Hi,
    For the Same material Code you can not maintain two material types in two plants..
    But you can make a Z* mat type with all the relevant views of FG & ROH..
    For Plant 1 it will have all the views
    and for Plant 2 extend only the ROH relevant views...
    Thx

  • Material group in material master for different plants

    Warm greetings Masters of Material Management
    We have one material master for three different plants example  1000, 2000 &3000 with same material group  with different valuation class
    If we change material group in plant 2000 it is reflected in 1000 & in 3000
    My question is  this the standard practice that material group changed in one plant will be reflected in other plants
    Regards

  • Material extension in different plants

    Sir,
    My Client has 11 plants in india, he wants the same material in all 11 plants hence i suggested to go in mm01 and make an extension. but their view is that as there are 20 to 30 materials added ed every month. this procedure would be time consuming. hence i need way how to maintain same material in all 11 plants simultaneously.
    Regards.

    Hi,
    Use   LSMW or BDC to extend these materials and also using tcode: MM50

  • Procuring for 2 different Plants(Diff CoCd) in 1 PO

    Gurus
    I have extended a Material to 2 different plants belonging to 2 different Company Codes with a Centralized Purchasing Organization.
    E.g I used CoCd 0001 and 1000 in standard SAP system and two plants, each from these CoCds. The mat I used is extended to both these plants. In the PO I used a Purch Organization (Not assigned to CoCd, but to both those plants) and 0001. It worked!
    Plz lemme know...

    For information on maintaining purchasing organizations, see the IMG activity Maintain purchasing organizations.
    You have the following options:
    You can assign a purchasing organization to one company code. This is company-specific purchasing.
    You can assign a purchasing organization to no company code. This purchasing organization can then procure for all plants assigned to it, irrespective of the company code to which the plant belongs.
    Since each plant must be assigned to a company code, the company code can be determined via the plant in each procurement transaction, even if the procuring purchasing organization is not assigned to a company code.
    A purchasing organization must be assigned to one or more plants. This is plant-specific purchasing.
    For more information, see the IMG activity Assign purchasing organization to plant.

  • While assigning batch material  get locked in different plant.

    Dear Guru,
    After  implementation ,frequently  facing problem, In CO02  we are  assigning the  batch manually  to the  material  but  one material  is  configured  with valuation type  domestic / import. while  assinging the  bacth to the material  system  showes to another  user  who iis entering the same material in different plant  is  xxxx  user is locked the material  so  u cant  assign  the batch, but   batch we are maintiaining  in   material level. (batch maintianed in material  level.)
    currently we are going  in sm12 transcationa and removing the lock, but   we want to know why it is happening. what is the root cause for the error.
    Please  advice.
    Thx
    Nara

    HI
    It is Standard SAP at a time same material or its masters cannot be used by multiple users ids or with same user id also
    system gives error material is locked.You can unlock it thru SM12 but be careful while soing so some the data which the another user using may be or may not be lost.
    the better way is to ask the user to come out of that material or release it after doing his work

  • Extending material master for different sales org/plant combination

    hi ,
    1 ) a material can be sold from one plant by many sales organisations. so we map this scenario in enterprise structure by the config step "assign sales org--dist channel--
    plant ". (let's say sales org A and B  selling from plant 1 and also sales org A selling from plant 2)
    when we have defined the above config step, then why we need to have material master extended for different combination of sales org and plant as in stpe 1 ?. we can just create one material master with one plant and sales org combination and based on config as in step one, we can sell material from any sales org from a plant  ?
    2) we can extend  material master for any combination of sales org/plant .....is it also possible to extend material master to different storage locations !
    regds

    Edited by: Pamela79 on Feb 15, 2011 11:02 AM

    There are several reasons why you should extend the materails to different sales organizations and plants.
    a. The materials are normally valuated at the plant level. So, you can have different valuations at different plants.
    b. You can have different quantity stored in different plants. How do you know which plant has what quantity.
    c. You can have materail not to be sold from one plant, but you can have the same materail sold from the other, how do you block it? at the plant and materail combination, you can do it.
    d. For different sales organizations, you may want the cost and the price to be posted to different GL accounts. You can control it at sales org level of the materail.
    e. You may just want the material to be purchased but not sold, then you may not even create a sales org view for the material. But say, in future you will like to only purchase a materail from a plant and consume it for some other purpose but not sales (which u did previously), then you can block it at sales org and dbr level.
    So, these are a few reasons. But there could be many. You can have a look at the fields in the material master at sales org level and plant level and you can find it for yourself howmany parameters are there to control...
    Hope this helps...

  • Material Master extension to different Plants.

    I am presently using BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA to create material master in a particular plant. Is there an easy way to extend these to another plant.
    or
    Do i need to use BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEREPLICA and pass different plant numbers in the MARC table in the initial creation itself.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi every one,
    By using bapi : Bapi_material_Savedata u can achieve it..
    u have to pass only these values to extend material from one plant to another plant.
    Example Requirement : Material 100-101 is available only in plant 1000, So lets Copy material 100-101 to a plant 1200.
    Note :  Pass values in block letters only
    In headdata structure :
    1.headdata-material           " matnr : '100-101'
    2.headdata-ind_sector       " mbrsh : 'M'
    3.headdata-matl_type        " mtart  : 'HALB'
    4.headdata-basic_view      " kzsel  : 'X'
    5.headdata-purchase_view  "kzsel  : 'X'
    In Clientdata structure :
    1.Clientdata-base_uom    " meins  : 'PC'
    In Clientdatax structure :
    1.Clientdatax-base_uom   "meins  : 'X'
    In Plantdata Structure :
    1. plantdata-plant             "werks  : '1200'
    2. plantdata-countryori     "herkl   : 'DE'
    In PlantdataX Structure :
    1. plantdataX-plant             "werks  : 'X'
    2. plantdataX-countryori     "herkl    : 'X'
    By passing above data u can extend material from one plant to another plant..

  • Problems in having common material and batch in different plants

    Hi all,
    As the material with the same batch is existing in different plants, we are facing some problems in processing the Process Messages.
    If some user who belongs to a different plant is processing the batch for the material, the Process messages are not being sent the destination as we get an error message that the reservation is currently processed by user (who actually belongs to a different plant). This is effecting the Business.
    Can anyone tell me how we can prevent this? Could the reservation and Batch status set as plant level control via standard IMG change ?
    Regards,
    Brijesh

    Yes Rajanikanth,
    But can you please let me know whether it is not possible to restrict this so that the batch processed in different plants should not affect in our plant?
    Thanks.

  • Batch Management in different plants

    Hey SAPers
    I am using batch managment for certain materials. But I don't need batch management of same materials in other plant. SAP is not allowing to change the status in other plants.
    Business needs to maintain materials in batches in warehouse but not in stores.
    Do we have a way out for this problem.
    Please respond.
    Thanks.
    Regards,
    MAM.

    dear abdul
    You can manage batches in different plants for many materials. For this reason, batches must be uniquely identifiable. In the SAP System, the batch number uniquely identifies the batch. You use the batch level to specify whether the batch number for a material is unique in one plant, or in all plants.
    You choose the batch level in Customizing for Batch Management under Specify Batch Level and Activate Status Management
    Batch Levels
    Plant level
    The batch number is unique in connection with the plant and material.
    The batch number is only known in the plant in which it was created if the stock is transferred to another plant, the batch is unknown in the recipient plant and the system does not adopt any data. You have to recreate and specify the batch in the receiving plant; that is, the same batch number may have different specifications in several plants.
    Material level:
    The batch number is unique in all plants in connection with the material.
    The same batch number has the same meaning for the material in all plants. One batch number cannot have different specifications in different plants. During stock transfer to another plant, the specification of the batch is known in the destination plant even if the batch is placed into storage in that plant for the first time.
    Client level:
    The batch number is unique in the whole client. A batch number can only be assigned once in the client. You cannot assign the same batch number for different materials.
    The batch number is only unique at the chosen level.
    Changing the Batch Level
    In the standard SAP System, the plant level is set as the batch level. If you want to use a different level in your company, you have to change it in Customizing and carry out a conversion program.
    You choose the batch level in Customizing for Batch Management under Specify Batch Level and Activate Status Management.
    While the conversion program is running, you can only post batches at the old level. You can only post batches at the new level after the conversion has been completed.
    You cannot change back from a higher level to plant level in the standard system. However, you can change the batch level from client level back to material level.
    To change the batch level from plant level to material level, the material has to be subject to batch management in all plants.
