Impacts in COPA of changing material and customer master data

Dear experts,
In my company we are considering following scenario:
Currently mySAPerp 6.0 is implemented for all modules for the mother company.
We have developed a new global template where there are significant changes versus the existing system, especially in the SD processes. Material and customer master also change significantly in terms of content in the tables/fields and/or values in the fields.
The idea was to build the template from scratch in a new machine and roll-out all group affiliates, but now we are considering the possibility of making an evolutionary of the current system and try to stretch it to the processes defined in the global template.
The scenario we want to analyze is: Keeping same organizational structure in terms of Company code, CO area and Operating Concern in existing SAP client and make an evolutionary of the existing settings to the global template processes.
The doubts we are having are the following:
Changing material & customer master data: Impact in COPA
Option 1: Material master data and customer master data codes are maintained but content in the tables/fields is changed substantially, both in terms of logical content of specific fields and/or the values in the specific fields. We have following examples of changes.
Case 1: source field in material master changes logical content. E.g. Material master field MVGR1 is currently used for product series (design line) and the content changes to be the Market Segment. The product series will be moved to a classification field. At least 5 other fields are affected by this. How can data in terms of COPA line items be converted so that they are aligned at time of reporting?
Case 2: the source field is not changed so that the logical content of the field remains but the values change, i.e. for the same concept there will be different codifications. How can data in terms of COPA line items be converted so that they are aligned at time of reporting?
Case 3: Characteristics where currently the source material master field is a Z field and the derivation is via table look up and where the Z field changes to a classification field. How can you convert the existing COPA line items to ensure that attributes are aligned? Should new characteristics be created or just change the derivation logic of the characteristic?
Option 2: Material master data and customer data codes are re-created (codification of records is changed), meaning that new material and customer codes will exist and content in tables/fields is changed (as in option 1)
Case: material and customer codes are changed. How can data in terms of COPA line items be converted so that they are aligned at time of reporting?
Iu2019ve never phased a similar scenario and I fear that maintaining operating concern while changing source master data and also SD flows (we have new billing types, item categories, sales doc. Types, order reasons) may lead to inconsistencies and problems in COPA.
I would like to ask you experts if you have come across a similar scenario and if from your experience, it is something feasible to do or there are many risks involved. What can be the impact of this scenario in existing Operating Concern for both option 1 and 2 and what would be the key activities to perform to adapt the existing operating concern. What will be the impact of the needed conversions on P&L reporting?
Sorry for the long story. I hope you can help me out.
Thanks and Regards,
Eric

Hi,
First i think you will need to test if it works for new COPA documents created via billing.
If it works fine then the issue is if you wish to apply these changes to the historical data already posted.
Normally there are transactions like KE4S where you can repost the billing document to COPA
However this may not be viable for bulk postings
You can perform realignment (KEND) but this only works at the PA segment level (table CE4XXXX)

Planned deliv. time in material and vendor master.

Hi,
in material and vendor master there is the field "Planned deliv. time".
How are these hierarchical organized?
Best regards

Hi
Planned Delivery Time are maintained in 3 places
1)In Material Master, MRP 2 View
2)In Vendor Master, Purchasing Data View
3) In Info Record, Purchasing Org View
Actually, In Vendoe master what Pln.Del.Time you are giving is common for all the material supplied by the vendor....
In Material Master, MRP View what you are maintaining....based on this thing only, the "Replinshment Lead Time" of MRP Planning is calculated...( RLT is nothing but PR Processing time + Planned delivery Time + GR Processing time)
In Info Record What you are maintaining, it will be copied to PO
Rewrd if useful

Functional location for the respective material and equipment in a report

i want to show the functional location for the respective material and equipment in a report designed for plant maintenace module..how should i add a field in the report which already contains the order , material and equipment no ?..just have to add a field functional location in that report. Can anyone plzz tellme from which table should i fetch the data .?

From EQUI get the recent/valid EQUZ record.
From EQUZ get the ILOA record.
ILOA holds the TPLNR for the equipment.
And from ILOA you can get IFLOT.
edit: just noticed you can use V_EQUI as well.

Movement Type 122 and Equipment Master status

Using Movement type 102 (Reversal Goods Receipt) the Equipment master status is reset to
AVLB and the stock batch is deleted.
However movement type 122 (Return Delivery to Vendor) does not do this.
Is there anyway to modify movement type 122 so that it works like 102 ?
Regards.
Phil.

If it is a Return to vendor - 122 movement type transaction, the reason for the movement is that the equipment is defective or some issues are there and that is the reason it has been returned. Given 122 movement type is designed to reflect such a business scenario, how you are expecting that this should result in Equipment status to become AVLB.
So the question is why are you posting 122 if it is not real return due some defect ?

VMS and Equipment Master creation for Warranty

Hi, Can anyone tell me what is the recommended method for assigning warranties for vechicles when using VMS. Is the Equipment master or General Object number and what is the difference between the two ?

Hi
I have one question according warranty in VMS:
what is the difference between warranty assigned to vehicle and the one assigned to Equipment?
I am comparing solution and see some missing parts in both cases
My summary is like that:
Solution 1 - Warranty is assigned to Vehicle WITHOUT equipment
+ WTY recognizes VIN as valid warranty object
+ there is an action in VMS to assign warranty master (vendor and customer one)
+ in VELO you can see claim history (in tab Warranty)
problems
-there is no template for measurements points (as in equipment)
Solution 2 Warranty assigned to Equipment - equ created in VELO linked to vehicle
+ standard actions in VELO to create equipment,
+ standard solution to define template for equipment with measurement points
+warranty assignment is also as one action in velo
Problems
-tab with warranty history in VELO does not get claims related to EQU
-in WTY equipment must be entered u2013 better would be with VIN
-measurement points and warranty in velo are not visible (button in vehicle details)
I will be glad for your feedback

Services managed by material and service master.

Hi,
why managing services by <b>material master</b> and
why by <b>service master</b>?
Best regards

Hi
use of service master
The service master record counts as part of the master data within External Services Management and serves as a source of data for you to draw upon when creating service specifications. This enables you to save time and reduces the frequency of errors, since you need only enter the complete service descriptions in the service master record once.

Extension functional location and equipment master data

Hi,
We have around 200 functional location (having 3 structure indicators) and 10,000 equipments (Having external number range) on a controlling area and on different company codes.
Several orders have been created by this data and now company wants to change controlling area, company codes, maintenance plants and planning plants with having old data in the same system server and client.
I want to know is it possible to create same codes functional locations and equipments on new maintenance plants and planning plants having new company codes and controlling area? (It has observed that once we assign maintenance plant, the system automatically picks company code and controlling area and these fields become highlighted and can't be changed) OR
Is there any possibility to use old data in orders with reference of new plants company codes and controlling area?
What will be the end solution, should I create the new structure indicators for functional locations and new equipment names that must not be matched with the old equipments?
Regards,

Hi,
Thanks for prompt reply,
a) If we change permanently then you mean to say the old master data record will remain in the system with all old transaction data, please confirm?
**b)Alternatively, can I create same (exactly like old codes) functional locations and equipments codes on new maintenance plants (having new company coded and controlling area)?**
I will have same client and server for the whole scenario
Please reply soon

Difference between Item created under Material Master and Equipment

Hello Expert,
I am bit confused in Item created in Master and Equipmet:
as per my understanding : Item created in Item master belong to some BOM in BOM defines the structure for the Item.
Then what is exactly served b equipments?
The equpments are serialied Items with some different structure or they are derived from BOM?
Please guide me to understand this concept.
br,
Pushkar

Dear,
Check what I found: material master is used to describe an item, usually stockable, that is purchased, manufactured, sold, inspected, serviced, etc. A material master is usually created when there are multiple quantities of an item, say a product that is being manufactured.
A material master may have a serial number profile entered in order to allow distinguishing between the different copies of the same item. For stocking, inspecting, sales, manufacturing, etc; the exact serial number(s) being transacted will need to be specified.
Depending on the serial number profile specifics, each SN may get a unique equipment master, which records information specific to the material-SN combination (not just about the material in general). For instance, if a product sold to a customer is returned for service, that material-SN (=equipment master) will have a record of the service order used.
For items which are never inventoried but for which information particularly PM transactions are recorded, an equipment master without a material master may be created, for instance a piece of processing equipment.
So an equipment master may link to a material-SN combination, or may be a stand-alone.

Material and vendor transfer to GTS sytem

I am using GTS 8.0. We have a very peculiar issue. Newly cretaed vendor & material doesnot get transferred to GTS. Please provide the step by step configuration settings to transfer material and vendor master to GTS using rbdmidoc.eg. change pointers activation, message type, reduced message type, Distribution model, Idoc partner profile

In Transaction BD60, make sure that the Function Module /SAPSLL/CREMAS_DISTRIBUTE_R3 is assigned for Message Type /SAPSLL/CREMAS_SLL. And in Transaction BD52 for that Message Type, make sure that fieldname 'KEY' is assigned for table LFA1, object KRED.
If those settings are already correct, then try to check whether the Change Pointer record is not being created, or if the CP record is not being sent to GTS. To do that; for a new Vendor not received in GTS, check for a corresponding entries in tables BDCP / BDCPV.
And of course, check for log entries in GTS (System Monitoring > Transfer Logs > Business Partners), and also check in SM58 for any RFC failures.
Hope that helps.
Regards,
Dave

Create Equipment Master at Goods Issue Save - Non Serialised Material

Hi,
We need to create equipment master for a material while issuing the material, i.e while saving the Goods Issue for that material.
The material is not serialised. Are there any BAPI's or a BADI which I can use to accomplish the desired functionality. Are there any exits during MIGO which i can use. Please help.
Regards
Lakshmi

Sure. Here it is:
Go to SPRO.
Logistics Execution
Transportation
    Shipment cost
      Shipment cost document
         Shipment cost type and Item category.
For the shipment cost item category you are processing, lets say standard 0001 (Transportation costs). double click on it.
You will find all you need in the tab SETTLEMENT.
There, there is a field GENERATE PO.
Select one of the options:
     Do not generate purchase order
A     Generate purchase order for validity period of 1 day
B     Generate purchase order for validity period of 1 week
C     Generate purchase order for validity period of 1 month
Once the shipment cost is created and transfered to MM(settled), if there no open PO for the carrier, the system creates one.
Good luck,
Leonardo De Araujo
