Material Blocking

Hi
I have blocked the material by creating new reason in OVSU giving error message when sales order been created using particular material which is blocked.But now my issue is if i block a material for particular plant (Let say 1001) the same material is getting blocked in other plants also(Let say 1002,1003 etc..,)
I have used Sales Org 1 tab X-Distribution Chain status field for blocking the material
My requirement is same material should be blocked plant wise
Thanx In advance

Dear Karthikeyan,
In T. Code: MM02 --> View: Basic Data1 --> Field: X-plant matl status, Or View: Cost Estimate1; will block the Material, for all Plants.
You may try T. Code: MASS (however, it is commonly used for No. of materials to restrict, in one go; but you may use it for 1 material also).
Here, Key-in
Object: BUS1001
Variant: (keep it balnk)
and Execute (F8). A window: Information, will pop-up. Click OK.
Now from Tab: Tables, Select Plant Data for Material, and click Tab: Fields.
Here, Select X-plant status (MARA-MSTAE) and execute (F8). Another window: Warning, will pop-up. Click OK.
Now, on to next page, under Tab: Data Records to be changed; Key-in entry in to Fields: Material and Plant and Execute (F8) and Save.
Hope, this may help You.
Best Regards,
Amit

System message:Procurement of material&blocked for quality reasons(0006 883

Hi Greetings!
I have the following issue.
I need to make the message "Procurement of material & blocked for quality reasons" as Error message . Message number - 00 06 883.
This will not allow to create PO , if the "Blocking Function" - 02 "Block Request and Purchase order " is set in the QM info record.
Even though i ahve set this message as "Error" in the configuration ( Materials Management --> Purchasing --> Define Attributes of System Messages), i am getting only warning message during PO creation.
Can you please let me know if am missing any setting.

Set Up Material Block for Invoice Verification

Hi,
Please share your experience for customization setting under General settings for material management "Set Up Material Block for Invoice Verification".
When should we use " Material is bloked at first read" and "Material is blocked when invoice is posted".
Does it improve MIRO transaction performance if we chnage the setting from " Material is bloked at first read" to "Material is blocked when invoice is posted"?
Thanks & Regards,
AG

Hi,
Set Up Material Block for Invoice Verification
Use: -
   In this step, you specify at what point materials are blocked in Invoice Verification:
   o   During the allocation phase, all materials present in the invoice are blocked.
   o   During simulation or posting, materials whose stocks are to be changed are blocked and are read again.
   o   Materials whose stocks are to be changed, are blocked and are read again when you post.
   When you post directly to a material, the given material is blocked immediately in all settings.
Standard settings: -
In the standard system, materials are blocked during the allocation phase.
It is suggested to block materials during allocation phase itself, so that user has not to enter all the details and then get block error at the time of Simulation or Posting. Also it improves the performance since all these transactions need not to be carried out and system informs initially that materials are blocked.

Material block In Availability Control

Dear Experts,
In IMG-Availability Check-Define Checking Group-----one check box is there "Material block in availability check with transfer of qties" .What will be impact if we checked this box and how it is different to the Block check Box in " Define Material Block for other users" in availability Check.
Regards
Jyoti.

"Material block in availability check with transfer of qties" .
Might be you have faced the case like if you are working on Transaction MSC2N with some material & at the same time ,you create a Delivery for the same material , you will get an error that Material is Blocked.Secondly when you do the availability check in the Sales order and at the same time ,you have opened MM02,then you will get the same error.
" Define Material Block for other users"
This has been maintained to check the exact situation of the stock .Like if you have created a Delivery (without PGI) of XYZ Material of 10 MTS and again you will try to create an order for the same Material & Batch , it will not show you the confirmed Quantity.
Hope it may help you.

Can not create DO because of Material block

Dear Expert,
Our customer have a requirement to allow creating DO (in background) during other users can post goods movement transactions of same material at the same time. I set "Late exclusive material block" in customizing (Tcode: OMJI) with waiting time as 5 seconds. And the result is:
For the transfer posting transactions (like MB1B, MB1C, MIGO...), it is allowed to post several transactions at once.
But when we do parallel jobs: transfer posting and create DO for the same material, then error message happen "Material xxx is blocked".
Is anything wrong in my configuration? or could you tell me what kinds of transactions which lead to the error "Material is blocked" during DO creation?
Thanks so much.

Check in OVZ1 where for your availability check, the box is checked under the tab "Blocked".

How to material Block ?

hi sap Guru,
how can i block a material ,
plz tell the step are ,
Thanks
Biswa

Biswa,
Block from which activity(s)?
There are material blocks for sales type activities. In the Material Master (MM02), Sales org 1 tab, there is a field "x-distr chain status". In this field you can enter one of many possible status codes, each of which can represent a different combination of sales related activities that can be allowed/disallowed. If these codes are unsatisfactory, you can create new ones in configuration in OVSU.
There are also material blocks for procurement activities. In the Material master, Basic data 1 tab, find "X-plant material status". In this field, you can enter one of many possible codes, each of which can represent a different combination of procurement/production activities to be allowed/disallowed. Here too you can create new statuses, in OMS4
Setting the deletion flag, as mentioned in a previous post, also will prevent certain activities from being performed.
So, all in all, yes, you can block a material in many ways. However, you have to decide which ones, and then make the appropriate entries.

Material blocked due to a physical inventory

Hello,
I have an issue.
I have done a stock take via MI01, MI21, MI04 and finally MI20!
When I afterwards create a delivery with one of that part that was counted it gives me an error message saying:
M7100 - Material xxx blocked due to a physical inventory
When I look into the inventory document it says: Counted, adjusted.
While debugging I found out that the process somewhere checks MARD-SPERR which is X for that part and therefore outputs messsage M7100! But X only indicates that posting block was set while physical inventory was done!
Does someone have an idea? Is there maybe a report to verify and correct inventory status?
Hope someone can help, cause I've counted a hundreds of parts which are now blocked.
Thanks for your reply.
Wolfgang

Hello Wolfgang,
If you enter the differences for your physical inventory documents against those materials, then the posting block check shall automatically go off and you can do the material movements.
First, you need to check whether you posted the differences for the respective physical inventory document.
If not you need to post the difference first as it may lead to data inconsistencies.
To remove the posting block go to MI02, enter the physical inventory document number and year, now go to Header and untick the posting block check box.
Posting block indicator
The indicator remains in the physical document header even if the stock is unblocked through the posting of inventory differences. It then only indicates that a posting block was set for the documents.
The blocking indicator can be set in one of two ways:
Directly upon entry of the physical inventory document (if the count is to take place immediately)
Shortly before the count (if the count is to take place later)
You can set the indicator by choosing Physical inventory document -> Change in the header data of the physical inventory document or via batch input.
Now you can create delivery for the materials.

Material Blocked for delivery after delivery is already created

Is it true that if a material is placed on block after the delivery has already been created but before the PGI is done, the delivery needs to be manually updated with a block status to prevent picking and PGI? I would expect SAP to determine if a material is blocked and read from txn OVSU and OVLS to determine whether picking and PGI are allowed.
I know it works fine before the delivery is created but if a material is blocked post delivery creation it seems SAP doesnt recognize the fact that the material is blocked and will still allow it to be delivered unless you manually change each delivery. Is this correct?

James..my friend...use simple business logic....when are you blocking the delivery...if in case customer credit is due, or that material sale is not allowed to the customer etc etc.....so ideally, that should happen before delivery...now you want the system to act like a human and determine if something goes wrong after delivery and do not allow PGI to happen...SAP standard program is like that my friend..you can not control that...if you want to check that again after delivery...take the help of you abaper for putting up the validation after delivery.
Reward points if it helps

Material block with quantity transfer

Dear all,
        I have searched some information from library, and it is useful for our company, can anyone help to tell me how to make the configure to achieve it ? Thanks in advance!!
       The information is below:
       "If another user tries to process the blocked material in the corresponding plant while the availability check is being carried out, the system tries five times to block the material exclusively for this other transaction with a pause of about 1 second between each attempt. If the fifth attempt is unsuccessful, the check is terminated and the transaction remains unconfirmed. To confirm the transaction, the user must call up the availability check again."

Can anyone help me ??

Material block from Exteranl procurement

Hi friends,
I have one requirement. I want to configure a material for which no exteranl procuement possible(I will not be able to create any purchase requisitions or Purchase orders). But at the same time I should be able to create inforecord for that for costing run.
Can anybody help with this scenario?
Thanks,
Bhairav

Hi Bhairav
U want to restrict a particular material or material type for expternal procureemnt, if it is material type then u have to give the material type settings in OMS2 "internal/external purchase orders allowed", or if it is for particular material then use x-plant material status to block the material for procurement. .
<b>But at the same time I should be able to create inforecord for that for costing run.</b>
Unfortunately in both the cases u are not able create info record for that material. But for what combination u want maintain the info record (in ur case there is no vendor)? and is it necessary to have inforecord for costing run??

Material blocked due to a physical inventory - VL02N - Post Goods Issue

Hi,
We are working with SAP R/3 4.6C IDES.
During a business process we need to run VL02N and to click the Post Goods Issue button.
When we do that, we are getting the following error:
"Material P-103 1000 0001 blocked due to a physical inventory"
Anyone knows that I need to do in order to make it work?!
Also, anyone knows how can I add more quantity to a given part?
Thank you!
Yaniv

Hi Yaniv!
Any stock changes are forbidden during physical inventory (otherwise you wouldn't know, if your counting has amount of before or after the change).
Close the counting (-> ask who has done this), then goods issue is possible.
Quantity change: go to picking tab and enter 'real' -> changed quantity.

Christian
