Material and representative material in PCA

Hello all,
I have an issue concerning material numbers in Profit Center Accounting. My aim is to be able to report on material group (attribute on 0MATERIAL) in BW for both plan and actuals.
In R/3 PCA they plan on field "representative material". Furthermore they post actuals on "material" field.
Extractor 0EC_PCA_1 brings all postings (plan + actuals) to BW, but does not include the "material" field. It only includes the "representative material" field, so I'm missing the possiblity to see the actuals per material number.
Extractor 0EC_PCA_3 brings all actual postings to BW and includes the "material number". However the representative field is not filled (since this is only actuals)
So I get what I need into BW, but in two different extractors (and also on two different aggregation levels).
I somehow need to merge the information of these two extractors. Is it a multi cube I should use here? Or should I rather try to modify 0EC_PCA_1 by adding the material number in an append structure? I actually tried this, but I still couldn't find the new field in the extractor. So I guess this is not possible here and that I have to go for the multi cube solution?
I need to get both the "representative material" and the "material" into info object "0MATERIAL" since the material group is an attribute of that. Could this work if I modify the update rules in cube 0PCA_C01 (this is filled with records from 0EC_PCA_1) so that repr. material points at 0MATERIAL (for plan values) and at the same time use cube 0PCA_C03 (this is filled with records from 0EC_PCA_3) which uses 0MATERIAL as standard (for the actuals).
I'd be extremely thankful for some ideas/help...
Thanks in advance!
best regards,
Fredrik

Hi Fredrik,
Some questions:
Is there a 1 on 1 relation between repr. mat. and material?
Do you have PCA_1 as Totals or Line Items?
If you want to report on material group you somewhere have to have a relation between repr. material and mat. group.
Of course you can always map the rep. into 0MATERIAL, but you MD has to be correct too.
And: Adding in PCA extractors is difficult!

Aavlaibility check for material and Substitution material

Hi Gurus,
I have a requirement where in I need to check the availability of a material and if there is not availability then I need to find out the substituted material maintained for the material.
for example, Material M1 has no stock in ECC and Material M2 is maintained as substitution in the SCM system. I need to figure out the tables or any Function module that can fetch the Material M2 if I provide Material M1.
I am able to check the material availability using the BAPI "BAPI_AVAILABILITY_CHECK". But I didnt find any FM or way to find the substituted material for a material.
Please help me out.
Thanks.
Anand.

I don't know about SCM, but in R/3, the material determination process is based on the standard procedure/access sequence setup. If you trace the condition record maintenance, you will find your table name. If the SCM setup doesn't work that way, there will still be a master data setup step that you can trace and find the table.

No link between PR material and PO Material code.

Dear Gurus
My industry is textile industry , here issue is that when MRP run it is giving auto PR based on BOM , but when purchase department is received PR , they start analyzing material the material requirement , they check in stock any raw fabric is there or not , if available they send that raw fabric for subcontracting (for dying) then after dying sent for other different operations, and then required material as per PR is ready......
Now my problem is how to link this auto material PR to different subcontracting PO... because management need report based on what was the material required and why purchase department is not able to provide it on time. please guide me....
Thanks & Regards,
Akshay

Dear Sir ,
I can not maintain special procurement key as 30 in MRP 2 view as it is not at all conform how material will be procure directly or by subcontracting...
if i do like that in PO manually change ilem catagory L , but the is possibility that to get right material as per PR purchase has to do more that 2 times subcontracting at different vendor ....if this is the case the material code in PR and PO defiantly different.... will SAP support this that PR and PO item is different?
Thanks & Regards,
Akshay

Combine billing of service material and std. material

Hi all,
i have a query regarding my client requirement is they are creating a bill manually with two different kind of mat. with two type of taxes i.e. Service tax and vat. example this invoice has 5 line items 1-3 are the chemicals which are deliverable and 4-5 are service items are not relevant for deliver. from 1-3 they will charge Vat% and 4-5 at service tax we have two doc. type one is for chemicals and other one is for services, can i design a new document type to do both in one, not able to understand please help...
Vivek Sharma

For these kind of business process,
Maintain to 2 diff Item cat for Deliverable(TAN) and service items(TAS) based on there deliverable and service characteristics/functionality.
I Cat determination for same sales doc type, maintain 2 different I Cat Group in material master for Deliverable and service items. Accordingly, your Deliverable and service items will determine there respective I Cat in sales doc.
Now, formulate wisely include both VAT and Service tax condition type accordingly into your pricing procedure.
So, when your maintaining Deliverable material, in Sales:Sales org1 tab, in Tax data section, accordingly maintain TAX Classification for VAT Condition Type as Taxable and service tax condition type TAX Classification as NO TAX (or as according to your tax classification tax condition types). And accordingly, maintain tax classification for your service material.
Thereafter, maintain condition record for VAT & service tax as per requirement.
Hope it solves your query.
Thanks & Regards,

Issue in generating Invoice with standard and service material

There is one scenario where along with standard material (i.e Tube bending machine) they charge the customer for the Design and Development of a machine (which is a service). Is it possible to make a standard order with the standard material(with excise and cst/vat) and service material (with service tax only) in one single order?
I have tried with both the material in a single order but while making invoice system is taking only the standard material as in item category we have mentioned Billing relevance from delivery document. And service material will not have the delivery.
I would be thankful if you could spare some time and check the exact problem.

Hello,
Yes.. this is a common problem when you use Delivery relevent material and service material in the same order. Why don't you use the service material in differnt order and invoice it? or do you have any restriction like the delivery relevent material and the service material should be billed in one invoice?

MPN, block PO for a vendor and material (not MPN material)

Hello everyone,
I have a doubt regarding MPN process I created a MPN material referencing an internal material. I have a vendor and a manufacturer.
If I create a purchase order with the MPN material (in the line the internal material comes automatically) and vendor and the manufacture is blocked by QM status (MP01). When I try to save the PO I receive a warning message and I am not able to save the PO. No Issues till now.
The thing is, if I create a PO with the internal material and the vendor I am able to save it, and the MPN material never comes up. And I want to be blocked also in this escenario.
thanks in advance
Sebas

Hi,
If you want that system should not allow user to create PO for the internal material and should only allow the MPN material then you can use Manufacturer's Part Profile in Internal material and MPN material and maintain Approved Manufacturer Part List (AMPL) in MP01.
You have to configure MPN Profile in SPRO > MM > Purchasing > Material Master > Define Manufacturer Part Profile
Here activate "MPN Mandatory" and rest all as per your requirement.

Reg. Process cost and raw material cost added

Dear Friends
Please consider our below scenario
PO is created and stock is maintained in unrestricted (Raw material)
and then Production order is created for Cut pcs and Raw material is issued to production order through 261 mvt type
next Cut pcs is received against the production order through 101 Mvt type. Now operation cost is not added with the Raw material cost, only the Raw material cost is represents in MIGO-> FOOTER - QUANTITY->Quantity in LC field. What to do to calculate the process cost too.
When we receive the cut pcs what we attached as component to the cutpcs's cost is calculated, the charge for Cutting is not calculated. we want both cutpcs charge(10.00 per pc)+component cost(raw mat. 180.00 per 1 kg)
Cut pcs 10 pcs * 10 Rs = 100 Rs
Raw mat 10 kg * 180 Rs = 1800 Rs
the total cost is 1900 Rs should come in that field

Difference between material group and external material group

Hi,
Can anybody let me know the difference between the material group and external materila group from the business perspective.
Thanks

Hi Raghunandan,
Material Group : Materials having similar attributes will be goruped together and assigned to a Material Group.
Material groups are Extensively useful during :
Limit the Scope of Analysis
Reporting Purpose
External material group : Key that you can use to assign the material to an external material group or to a material group determined according to external systematics.
In General, External material groups are nothing but external representation of group of material which are extensively used in supply souce determination for provions materials related to retail and some other functions
In short if your Internal material group for example bearing is 0001 you can group externally further based on manufacturer like FAG for NRB. No accounting activity is based on it
