Material conversion into APO Material?

hi experts,
the characteristic for material in the BW system (0MATERIAL) is 18 characters long, and in SCM (9AMATNR u2013 here ZAMATNR) it is 40 characters long.
In order to compensate for this difference, you need in the transformation from BW to SCM, we can use the below standard conversion exits:
CONVERSION_EXIT_PRODU_OUTPUT (to remove leading zeros from 0MATERIAL)
CONVERSION_EXIT_PRODU_INPUT (to set leading zeros on ZAMATNR)
How and where to write the code and includes those above function modules in order to achieve that?

Karthik,
Absolutely, this is an acceptable way to manage lower level parts.
If part of your 'feasible' production plan includes a product check of lower level parts, then yes, you need to send across all MRP relevant elements for the lower level materials. All demand elements, and all supply elements, including stock,
I caution you not to inadvertently plan any such materials in both systems. R/3 will automatically pass dependent requirements from the X0 parts (which were generated in APO) down to the lower level parts, and it will assume that you plan them in R/3. Ensure that your APO heuristics exclude these lower level parts in APO.

Transfer material stock into another material

hi
I want to transfer the stock of one material into a new material,
Is it possible? if yes then how? and is there any financial effect.
thanks
Pankaj Garg

Hi Garg ,
Transfer posting is done through MB1B T.Code which requires the necessary movement tyep
Transferring the material stock into another Material uses the mvt type 309
The quantity is posted from unrestricted-use stock of the issuing material into unrestricted-use stock in the receiving material
Prerequisite: both materials have the same stockkeeping unit.
Possible special stock indicators: E, O, Q, V, W
Hope this helps you out
If found useful award accordingly

Conversion of 2 different material codes into 1 material code for STO?

Hello All,
A pleasant day to you all.
I have a business scenario and I would want to get opinions on the feasibility of implementing it.
The scenraio is that the country have a new tax regulation (they call it BOI) so that when a material or product is created on a certain machine, the tax is reduced. Therefore, if there is an exactly the same product that is created from different machines, it will incur different taxes.
So, since the business has 2 company codes (i.e. Company A and Company B), the scenario would be company A will be creating 2 different material codes for this so they can track BOI products from non BOI products. But Company B on the other hand, would like to use the same material code to reduce complication. With this, Company A will then produce and do transactions using 2 different material codes then when PO STO is created (to transfer stock to Company B), Company B would like that those material codes from Company A would somehow (be automatically) converted into 1 material code on Company B's side. Is this possible? If so, how can we do that? what are the required set up to do this?
Thank you very much. Your response and opinioin would be greatly appreciated.
Best regards,
Lee

Hello Jürgen L.
Thank you very much for your kind attention and reply.
So with this, it's really not possible to do that requirement? There's really no way?
Thank you very much.

Conversion of External material with Internal using search help

Hi,
We are working on ECC 6.0 for automotive company and have following scenario.
One OE (External/Customer) material number (MARA-BISMT) with more than one internal material number (MARA-MATNR). This has been done because same customer material is sold by delar for different brands, for exmaple BMW, Ford, Opel. Therefore we have different internal materials with respective brands with same external number in material master.
Business requirement is, all correspondence with customer or vendor should be done using external/customer material number.
Whereas all internal business process should use internal SAP material number.
For example as given below
External No. --> Internal No.
BMW-1 --> 1001 (Brand - BMW)
BMW-1 --> 1002 (Brand - Ford)
BMW-1 --> 1003 (Brand - Opel)
Now the requirement is that user will create document, for example PO or SO, with external/customer material number. While
doing that user should get a pop up screen after entering external material number, if external material is attached/corresponds to multilple internal material number. Then user will selects correct internal number from pop up screen and return to document screen but material field should displayed with external material number.
For example in above case, user will enter BMW-1. Pup up screen will have three internal numbers 1001, 1002 and 1003. User selects 1003 but after material conversion material field of the document will displayed as BMW-1.
We are using Customer enhancement - "MGA00003 Material Master (Industry and Retail): Number Display" for input/ouput conversion.
Also we have created Elementary Search Help - SEARCH_OE_NUMBER with Hot Key "Q". This search help is included into
collective search help "MAT1_A" so that user can able to see multiple internal material number by entring customer material number.
We are able to convert external material number with internal material number and put the external material while creating PO. But when we add another item in PO, search help is getting called again and again for first line item even after conversion of matrial has been taken place.
How we can avoid this multiple calling of serach help?
Is there any better way to achieve this requirement?
Please help us.
Thanks,

Import of material groups into hierarchy not possible (note 432339)

Dear All,
I am trying to replicate material groups (DNL_CUST_PROD1) from R3 system. Prior to this our SRM system configured as standalone and Material Hierarchy is already defined. When I am trying to replicate the material groups in SMQ2 I am receiving status as "sysfail" and further I am getting above message. In the message the OSS note also mentioned. In the OSS note they have given following solution
Error message "Import of material groups into hierarchy &1 not possible":
In transaction COMM_PRAPPLCAT, you specify that the hierarchy specified in the error message is to be used for application 'Purchasing' (02). This means that the material groups would be created in this hierarchy. Delete this setting in Transaction COMM_PRAPPLCAT. If hierarchy R3MATCLASS already exists, assign
hierarchy R3MATCLASS to application 'Purchasing'. Then the material groups are created in hierarchy R3MATCLASS. If you want to import the material groups into the hierarchy specified in the error message, you can also keep this hierarchy
assigned to application 'Purchasing' and deactivate the error message. Error message "Import of material types into hierarchy &1 not possible". You can do this in Customizing under 'Customer Relationship Management -> Master data -> Basic settings -> Define system message characteristics'.
My problem is I am not able to find out the path given in the OSS note ( i.e, Customer Relationship Management u2013 Master data) . Any one can help me in this regard ?
with regards

How to Integrate new material group into COPA planning KEPM

Hi Sap Guru's
Please help me in Integrate new material group into planning
The planning coordinator is informed that a new material group is to be marketed in the coming year and that this new material group should be included in planning. To generate a default plan value automatically for this new material group, the planning coordinator uses the planning method Copy. In the Transform characteristic values function, the necessary entries are then made so that the sales quantities for an existing, comparable material group are copied to the new material group.
How can i do the above process...
Thanks
Sap Guru

HI,
create a new characteristic (KEA5), choose transfer from SAP-table (the tab. where your fiels is available in material master (MARA)), choose the field from the list of available fields from MARA, enter text, save, activate. Assign the char. to your op. concern. Generate the operating concern.
Aftre this steps the field is in yopur operating concern and the derivation rule can be seen in T-Code KEDR (rule created by SAP automatically). If not, add a derivation rule in KEDR (table lookup).

Split the material cost into labor and overhead costs

Hello Experts,
We get Finished Goods from another plant and that plant is not on SAP. So we load these materials as Finished Goods and enter the price in the costing tab and we do run cost estimates. In the cost estimate we see this price as material cost. How can we split this material cost into material + labor + over head costs? Is there anywhere we can enter the percentages that would split the total price into material and labor and overhead prices? I appreciate your time and response.
Thanks In Advance

HI Venkat,
You can only split material cost using origin groups and not into material, labour & OH as you may know the cost components are grouping of cost elements (with an option to use origin groups).
If this is too important for you to maintain that cost component split, then I see the only way is to consider maintaining quantity structure in SAP for the finished product, so that cost roll up happens with cost components.
Hope this helps.

Material Conversion in MB1B

Hi,
I want to post material no.413003 to material no. 160003 through MB1B through movement type 309, but its not happening showing following error.
" Stockkeeping unit EA and KG differ "
Material Code 413003 (Brass component) base unit is EA and storage location is SCRP plant 101
Material Code 160003 (Brass scrap) base unit is KG and storage location is SCRP plant 101
For 413003 - In Material master additional tab following entries there
1 EA each <==> 1 EA each
1 KG kg <==> 14706 EA each
Also I given "Unit of issue" field in Material master Plant data/ Storage location view as KG in 413003 and conversion factor as 14706, but still the same error is showing in MB1B.
I Tried to delete 1st entry from additional tab in material master for 413003 but system won't allow to delete stating error message is "The base unit of measure can not be deleted"
regards
Nitin

Dear Balarajumm
Thanks for your reply.
I can't change the base unit, because its need of the business, sometimes some products uses KG and EA units simultenously. Without changing base unit, please let me know how I can transfer from one material to another material. If mov,type 309 doesn't work OK, I will follow other procedure which solve my issue, but I can't change base unit of the material.

Nitin

Material Conversion Error

Hi gurus,
i have executed a query and i have tried to drill on material then i got an error saying that
internal system error....BMG135
which says material conversion settings not found...
how to solve this error and fix so that i can see the material in my report.
thanks
Neel

Hi,
take a look
0MATERIAL conversion exit
execute report (transaction se38) RSCC_V_TMCNV helps.
Set the length of 0MATERIAL and change conversion to alpha:
Re: Error Installing 0MATERIAL from Business Content
oss note 555675
Solution
Make the settings for the material number conversion.
In BW Release 2.1C, the settings are maintained for the material number conversion via report RSCC_V_TMCNV.
As of BW Release 3.0A, the settings are maintained for the material number conversion via transaction OMSL.
Select the same settings as the settings made in the OLTP system.
Note that you must also perform the setting in client 000 if the error occurred while you were importing a transport request.
hope this helps.
Go to transaction OMSL in BW and set the length of material number same as that in transaction OMSL in R/3, should resolve the problem.
hope it helps

Finished material scrap transfer into scap material code

Dear Experts,
I want to transfer my scarp qnty stock of finished materia code ABC base unit EA stock into selling scarp material code XYZ base unit KG by mb1b 309 movemnt type but i get error Stok Differnce unit EA and KG
.Then in this case which scenario i used to transfer my finshed scrap ABC stock into scarp material code XYZ.
PLEASE GUIDE ME how i map this scenarion
Example-
production order ABC - 10 EA ,
After confermation 8 qnty OK
2 EA Qnty is scrap
Now i transfer this 2 EA stock into this scrap material code XYZ KG but due to difference in base unit it not transfer in mb1b by movement type 309.

Hi,
Scrap in the production order is resultant of raw materials used.
Why is that you are getting finished material as scrap. In this case this scrap is from production or from storage?
Let us know the process you are following and what are the materials you are using for the purpose of production.
In general, when scrap is reported in production...it should be treated as a By product and its qty should be received from production.
Or You can upload this scrap qty using MI10 (this is like physical inventory but wihtout any doc. reference).
So as and when, scrap qty is accumualted....upate the stock qty using MI10.
