Material costing - consideration of consignment info records

Hi All,
within material costing, it is possible to get material prices of components by reading the purchasing inforecord ( transaction OKK4, see possible values of strategy sequence ). My problem is: SAP standard does only consider standard inforecords, but no consignment inforecords. I got an answer on an OSS-quest saying that this can be only acchieved by a modification. Does anybody know the right place for this modification, or is there a suitable enhancement I could use?
Thanks in advance,
Andreas

Hi Andreas,
Could you please give details in how did you use Userexit COPCP005?
Kind Regards!

Access consignment info records while costing

Hi
I have a valuation variant in which the strategy for material costing has a sequence in which i want to access price from info records while costing thru ck11n or ck40
If i create normal info records,i am able to access the price from info records.But if i create consignment info records "K" type the system does not read it..
SAP note no 552486 states that SAP reads only normal info records and subcontracting info records.
So what is the way out..if i want to access the consignment info records
Any tip,guidance,clue,idea on this subject will be of great help
Thanks

KKPAN - Consignment info record

Hi,
I have a mterial with a standard as well as a consignment info record. Both the info records have the same number but the info record price is different.
Now in KKPAN whenever I enter the info record number, it defaults the price from the standard info record. How can the price default from the consignment info record?
In material master, the special procurement field also indicates consignment.
Sincerely,
Nicky

Hi,
Then what do I do in a case when I want to update the material master cost from the cost in consignment info record?
Will the only option be MR21 manual cost update?

Multiple Consigned Info-record Based on MPN

Hi All,
We have an MPN Profile that has a setting of - MPN Mandatory & Info Records for MPN. This MPN Profile is assigned into an Internal Material which will be managed with our Inventory.
We have multiple MPNs from a Single Vendor with different price and that is created separately in the Info-Record.
When the PO is created with the MPN, it is working fine by selecting the Internal Material and I am able to do GR for that PO which comes in Stock as Internal Material.
However, my problem is that I am not able to create a K-Type PO for those MPN, as system prompts error messages like MPN008 => "Consignment and MPN mat. only possible in case of info recs. for IM mat."
I have gone through the SAP Help and it is also mentioned as a NOTE in there : If you are working with consignment info records, you must create the info records for your firms own material. Reason: in the case of goods issues involving consignment materials, the system searches for the info records for the firms own, inventory-managed materials and does not take MPN materials into account.
I have a question now => Does SAP allow the Consigned Process to be practiced for MPN Materials?
Any suggestion/idea/solution is most welcome!
Regards,

Hi Rahul,
Thanks again for your reply!
I did the way you suggested and I was able to create Consigned POs for the MPN. However, my problem is still un-resolved, as you can see the problem from the following process steps.
1) GR for the Consigned PO is done and now the IM Material is in the Vendor Consigned Stock.
2) I have pulled the Quantity via Tcode MB1B/411-K.
3) When I run the MRKO (Vendor Liability Settlement), system took the Consigned Info-record of the IM Material (which is only 1).
_Problem:_ System while doing MRKO, is not considering the MPN Inforecord, as I am not able to create Consign Info Record for MPN Materials.
If you are not clear about my scenario, I can explain in detail.

Cost Estimate with Purchase info record

Hello Everyone,
I have a problem with Cost Estimation ( with Purchase info record), We hare using PIR ( Purchase Info records) for calculating cost estimation. These records are maintained on the base of Vendor and Material. There are some materials extended to more than one plant.Ex: Material: Mat1 are created under Plant PL1 and PL2.
Problems is when we are executing cost run with parameters Mat1 and PL1, system some times taking PL2 ( the last transaction created with that material - irrespective of the plant )transactions also, please help me how to solve this problem, my user wants, system should take the transactions only selected plants.
Thanks & Regards

Hi,
guess SAPNET note 713111 describes your system behaviour, additional information can be found in 351835.
Maybe a valuation strategy with "user exit" can find the info-record price you are expecting.
Best regards, Christian

Consignment info record error

Dear All,
I have activated the Consignment prices via info-record setting in configuration. But still, when I create the PO for consignment the info-record number does not get populated in the PO. During 411 K the price is not determined, during settlement via MRKO the price is shown as zero and the settlement is not completed.
I checked the all the master datas - Material/Vendor and the Purchase info record - I have maintained them correctly for consignment.
The PO has been created with the right material/vendor Purchase org combination.
I have maintained the message for output type KONS in MRM1
I still havent figured out why the consignment info record is not getting identified and populated in the PO and the price in the info-record is not getting detected. Can anybody help?
Regards
Badrinath Murali

Hi ,
Please activate Consignment info records in SPRO -> MM-> General Settings for Materials Management -> Activate Consignment Info record ( Transaction code OMEV)
& Also check the valitidity condition periods date ranges in Condition record and Tax code.
Check the plant and Standard Purchasing Orgainsation assignments.
While posting the 411K system generated the accounting document or not?...
Please check it the above settings ..
Also check what material type have you posted in 411K?

Price Date Datermination in consignment Info Records

Hi
We are using consignment with some vendors and we have defined consignment info records with them with different price conditions for different dates.
It is possible when transferring materials from consignment stock to our unrestricted stock, picking the price corresponding to date of the PO and not the price corresponding to the date of the transfer?
In the info records (ME!u201D) this issue can be performed with the field Price "Determination (Pricing) Date Control" set to vale "Purchase Order Date" I have tested it and it seems not to work with consignment info records
Many thanks in advance

Hi,
Try using price date field from Vendor master purchasing view
Else give different validity periods for info price

Expired validity price of Consignment Info record

For the consignment process we created the consignment info record with the pricing condition validity from 1.1.2008 to 31.7.2008. the consignment contract validity is from 1.1.2008 to 31.12.2008.
After 31 July the price was agreed to be changed, but the user forgot to change the price validity period of the consignment info record.
But still we are able to create the Consignment Po referencing the consignment contract with the old price validity period ending 31.7.2008.
Even the system has not given any warning message or stopped the user to make the Po though the price validity has expired.
In future how can we prevent this case?
Is there any message that can be populated at the time of Po creation if this case happens.
What shall we do with the goods that have come for the PO from 1.8.2008 to 10.8.2008, they are still lying in consignment Godown, he have not made any withdrawal against these POs.
Regards

Hi
i have tried this scenario in the test environment. i just happened with me. i have a consignment info record with the validity period which expired. even with that i could make PO and do GR. it didnt allowed me to do GI to my own stock. at that time it gave me the error that the consignment price is not maintained.
if you see by logic PO and GR could be possible for consignment stock or order. the liabilities are only created when we issue goods from consignment stock to own stock. at that time we need the price of the stock since we are not going to receive any invoice from the vendor about the price of the stock. its taken from info records.
please correct me if i am wrong.

Provision in consignement info record

Hi Gurus,
I have created a consigment info record with a provision discount ( a statistic condition in ME11).
I have done a good receipt with MIGO, then when I have done MB1B movement type 411 K, in the posting I have only the accounting of PB00 and the accounting of my provision?
Anybody could help me to know why the provision doesn't appear in the accounting?
I have done the same test with a PO without creating a info record consignement, and it s woking, I have my provision in accounting;
Thanks for your help
Regards
ELMKA

No the system doesn't take the vat of info record. That why I m asking help in this forum.
the consignment info record is already active in tcode OMEV. So the pb doesn't come from there.
And for my second issue, I need to add a condition type ( a end year of discount)in info record, it s a statistic condition, and normally I don't want it in the price.
Normally the price of this condition must appear in accounting but only in statistic.

Related to Consignment Info Record

Hi All,
I have maintained the condition record through MEK1 and I have not maintained the Purchase info record for the consignment PO.
While I am creating the PO, the error is showing the Purchase info record is not created for the vendor.
than I have maintained Consignment info record inactive.
Still the error is showing at the time of creation of consignment PO.
Kindly help me to create the consignment PO without purchasing info record and with the help of condition record only.
Thanks in advance.

If you want execute consignment process effectively you need consignment Info record.You are just maintaining condition record,For settlements you need tax code .So system will pick all required data for settlements from Info record.
To recognise consignment price for an article and Vendor combination you need Consignment info record.

Raw material costing - Valuation strategy with info-rec. "L" - Consignment

Hi all,
I want to implement raw material costing for all our raw material.
I created a new costing variant which use strategy "L" (price from purchasing info-record). My sub-strategy is 9 - Effective Price from PO followed by 5 - Effective price from info-record.
Everything works well except for consignment with vendor.
I have a raw that is procured from a vendor. The price for the raw is stored in the purchasing info-record and has condition types associated with it. This PIR is of CONSIGNMENT type. However, When costing the raw in CK11N the price for this consignment material is not pulled into the estimate.
I have seen in note 552486 that "For the valuation with a price from the info record, the system can basically only consider info records with category 'N' (normal) and 'L' (subcontracting). "
Have any of you come accross this situation? if yes, how did you resolve it?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
any other idea about this ? I want to use strategy "L" but want to know if I can make it work with consignment.
Thanks

Consignment info record

Hi
Thanks for your quick reply.
My question is system is picking the old price which we had entered the net price while creating the info record.
After a month we are consuming the material and now price has been changed.
In Consignment settlement, vendor will get the market price. ok, so, where I have to do this customization.
Please help.

Hi Kishore,
you have to update your Info records with new market price.
then run MRKO to settle liablity.
hope the system will pick the updated mat. rate.
if you are not allowed to change the rate in info records , then create the new one and set the old info records with back dated so that whenever you will run the transaction to settle the vendor liablity, system always pick up rate of mat. from new info records.
hope it will help.

Wrong cost estimate due to info record SA reference field.

Hi
I have an issue during cost estimate.
When we create scheduling agreement for a Material/Vendor/Plant combination.
The info record in Purchase organisation - reference field updates with latest SA number.
Here. I had created the second Scheduling agreement and later i decide to delete the latest SA and use the previous one. But inforecord does not update with previous SA number.
As per configuration, the reference field is taken for cost estimate and it takes the latest SA number, which is wrong.
Can anyone guide me how to get the live SA number in the reference field in Info record?
Thanks in advance,
Sasi

Hi
The idea of SAP in case of retreiving information in case of PO/SA, is the last document number that is stored in the info record. Since you have just created the SA agreement, whose information is not stored in info record, you can simply update info record (select info update indcator) which is available in ME31L somewhere in Menu bar options (Sorry I dont know precisely). This could solve your problem I hope.

Multiple Material Numbers to use one Info Record

I have several material numbers that I have recently set up as Subcontracting special procurement. All of these numbers use one quote from our vendor. How do I assign multiple numbers to a single info record?
Thanks for your assistance!!

SAP knows 2 kind of subcontracting scenarios, a purchasing route and a production route.
in the purchasing subcontract scenario you order the finished material with item category L, you can see the components in the purchase order and you consume the components when you post the goods receipt to this purchase order.
in the production route, you create production orders to "manufacture" the finished and to consume the components, the purchase order is only to procure the service. you do goods receipt and cosumption in reference to the production order, and you do a goods receipt for the service in reference to the purchase order.
if the info record is without material number,then you cannot have a permanent link to a material if you use the purchasing route.
Usually SAP will propose the info record as source when you assign and process requisitions in ME57. I doupt that SAP will propose info records without material number for requisition with material number. so the only chance to assign such info record to a PO to get the price defaulted would be manual entry of info record number in ME21N (F4 search help is available)
in the production subcontracting process you can enter the info record number in the recipe, so you can establish a permanent link in master data. So SAP exactly knows which info record price to pull for the service orders. and in this process you can enter one info record number in several recipes.

Material Master,Vedor Master and Info record

Hi
When we create all these record, some of the fields are populated from one an other, so if we change these common field in one record, will it be changed itself in other record?like purchasing value key in MM and Info record are common so if we change this one in info record,the change in MM will be done itself or not and if not why?

Hi,
Let me take one example of reminder days only.
Now material master's reminder days are specific and limited to that material only. for ex for material "007" reminder days are 3,6 and 9. that is in general.
but when that material is provided by X vendor than reminder should be 4,7 and 11..than what?
that should be maintained in info record. so info record is one level up for data maintenance. so if there is no info record, reminder days will be take from material master that is first level. but if you have maintained info record , means you want some specific data for that material when it is provided by any specific vendor..than reminder should be taken from info record.
when data is adopted , first system checks info record than material master/vendor master.
so when you create info record, some data are taken from master data ( material master/vendor master) but you can overwrite it base upon your need.
than that data is fixed for that material n vendor..it doesnt change if you change master data...
hope this solves your query..
reward if useful.and revert if any doubt
regards
