Material creation without specifying plant

can i create a material without specifying a plant or storage location?is it possible.?what are differnt types of stocks in gr.

Dear Kunal,
You would need to give plant for plant relevant views. However, you would not need to give plant for views like Basic Data which is valid for entire organization.
Different Stocks:
1. Unrestricted Use of Stock
2. Quality Inspection Stock
3. Blocked Stock
Special stocks and special procurement types are divided into the following areas:
· Consignment
· Subcontracting
· Stock transfer using stock transport order
· Third-party processing
· Returnable transport packaging
· Pipeline handling
· Sales order stock
· Project stock

Material Creation date by plant

Hello all,
In several of our report I need to enter the creation date of the material. My problem is that the creation date of material is a global information and sits in MARA. The users run the report by plant and therefore they are interested to know what was the creation date of the material for a specific plant and not in general. Where can I find this information? How can I know the date that the material was extended to a specific plant?
please, I need your help.
Thank you,
Liat

Dear Liat,
Plant Data for Material is stored in table MARC. Not sure, if date on which material has been extended to a particular plant will be stored in it.
If you cannot get the date from MARC, you will have to implement a proper BAdi/Enhancement so that you can store date on which material is extended to a particular plant for the combination of Material, Plant. You can fetch the same to be displayed in the reports.

Material Creation without MM01

Dear All,
           My requirement is Matearial should be created with all views with out using the MM01.Material type should be 'SPARES'.
   I already used 'BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA' for material extension. in this I passed Refrence material number as material number. it is working fine but now I want to create material with out using the referece material number.
Will 'BAPI_STANDARDMATERIAL_CREATE'   allow me to create material with All VIEWS.
Pls provide me the solution.
regards,
Prashanth Maturu.

Hello
You can fetch the material number(internal) using MATERIAL_NUMBER_GET_NEXT and then pass it on to BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA. Hope this fulfills your requirement.

Is it possible to Create Material Master without Profit Center ?

Hai,
      1) Is it possible to Create Material Master without Profit Center ?
      2) How SAP System Validate Profit Center in material master. ? is it material Type wise ?
      3) Whether PO Order Creation,GRN & MIRO Possible for those material Master without Profit Center.?
Kindly Explain me clearly..
Thanks & Regards,
Swetha

Hi,
Profit center is at the plant level.
You can create material master even with out a profit center.This field will be there in the costing view and and general sales/plant data.
while creation of the materila master if do not select these views system will not ask for that.Normally it is pertaining to the costing analysis.
A profit center manager is held accountable for both revenues, and costs (expenses), and therefore, profits. What this means in terms of managerial responsibilities is that the manager has to drive the sales revenue generating activities which leads to cash inflows and at the same time control the cost (cash outflows) causing activities. This makes the profit center management more challenging than cost centre management. Profit center management is equivalent to running an independent business because a profit center business unit or department is treated as a distinct entity enabling revenues and expenses to be determined and its profitability to be measured.
Business organizations may be organized in terms of profit centers where the profit center's revenues and expenses are held separate from the main company's in order to determine their profitability. Usually different profit centers are separated for accounting purposes so that the management can follow how much profit each center makes and compare their relative efficiency and profit. Examples of typical profit centers are a store, a sales organization and a consulting organization whose profitability can be measured.

Process Order Creation without Standard Cost

Hello All,
I need a functionality.. If standard cost is not released for a period , system should not allow me to create a process order in the certain period.
Is any standard configurations allow me to achieve this????
Thanks & regards
Mahesh
Message was edited by:
Maheshbabu M G

Mahesh,
Standard SAP allows creation of order without Std cost estimate. Only in REM you could make it give error.
However I suggest you could implement the exit PPCO0006.
In this the function module EXIT_SAPLCOZF_003 contains the import parameter CAUFVD_IMP which has material number (MATNR) and plant (WERKS). Pass these to table MBEW and get the value of STPRS (std cost). If this value is 0 then give the error.
Hope this is useful....if so reward points and close this thread.

Material creation process in SRM-MDM

Dear All,
I am new to SRM. Please correct me about material creation procedure in SRM if I am wrong:
Normally in classic/extended classic scenario, material first created in MM and then it replicated to SRM. Base on configuration setting for number range, system either create the product ID same as material number number in SRM when it replicated into SRM. In final steps, the product information will upload into MDM either XI integration or manually via excel upload.
My question:
+ Is it possible to automatic create product without XI via T.Code - MDMGX in MDM.
+ If the replicated product ID of SRM is different then MM material number, which number we should consider for creating product
MDM.
Thanks in advance.
BR
Jennifer

Hi Jennifer,
Answer1) You can only replicate Product Groups, Currencies and Unit of Measures through t-code MDMGX. XI/PI is required for Contract and Product Catalogs.
Answer 2) If the replicated product ID of SRM is different then MM material number, you should enter MM material number and in External Web Service Configuration for that internal catalog, uncheck "Do not check Product" indicator so that SRM will not check the Product ID and when item goes to backend system, it will have correct MM material number.
Thanks,

Blocking material for sale at plant level

Hi,
Can you please help me whether we can block the material for sale at plant level.
We can block the material in sales organization view --> DChain-spec. status as BLOCKED FOR SALE , but it wil block sales of the material for all the plants in the sales organization.
Please help whether we can go ahead at plant level.

the posting block for goods issues can already be reached with a material status, so no phyiscal inventory document necessary.
What you could try is to control the usage by a userexit.
E.g. you define a sales status AND a material status, just as table entry without any customizing in detail.
and in the userexit you check for the combination of sales status and material status, and if your material has this combination then send a error message to the user.

Heuristic run @ destination location is creating the purchase requisition without source plant

Hello All,
Trust you are doing well.
Believe this is the good time to connect with you all get some advice on the below mentioned scenario:
Material (XXXXXX) is discontinued at source location (Plant specific material status: 90) but the same material
(XXXXXX) is still used in destination location (plant specific material status: 60). Here heuristic run @ destination location is creating the purchase requisition without source plant.
Here the customer expectation is that “SNP should not create the order, since the material is discontinued in source plant”
Could you please advise?
Regards,
Prabin

Hi Prabin,
You can change the SNP profile to NO PLANNING automatically and exclude the target location from the SNP run. Maybe you can try using Badi: SMOD_APOCF005.
This is what I would do:
1- Do not exclude the status 90 in the iModel.
2- Then when you change the status in order to discontinue a material at the source location you will be changing the status from 60 to 90 and you will CIF this modification to APO. At this time, I would use the BAdI: SMOD_APOCF005 to identify this situation. You will need to add a code in order to identify what are the possible target plants of your source plant and you will need to change the SNP Profile at the target location.. look for a BAPI for this...
Take a look of this document to see an example code of SMOD_APOCF005:
APO SNP - Master Data Automation

PR: Procurement w/o material from vendor with plant assignment not defined

Hi,
Getting the error message: 06806 - Procurement w/o material from vendor with plant assignment not defined
while creating the PR with account assingment (P- project) & without material no. instead entering the short text in the PR.
this issue (Error message) is getting to only one user.
question-1: Is it possible to set the Error messages to the user specific. Because other users are able to create the PR with the above inputs, but the one user is not able to create instead getting the above E- Msg.
question-2: Is it possible to set the messages to Plant specific instead quesiton -1 or both
Or else, please let me know how to deactivate the above E-msg to the specific user.
Please do the needful asap.
Regards,
Sapsrin

Hi,
As you noticed, note 856962 has changed the system behaviour
when you are working with procurement w/o material from vendor with
plant assignment.
Items without a material master record can only be ordered from vendors
without a plant assignment.
This note will stop your users from creating service purchase orders
for a vendor who has a Plant assigned in the vendor master, issuing
the error message 06 806.
you can check the below code:-
LMEPOF23
IF ekpo-ematn IS INITIAL AND
      ( aktyp EQ hin OR ekko-reswk NE oekko-reswk OR      "856962
     ( aktyp EQ hin OR NOT ekko-reswk IS INITIAL OR        "856962
        ekko-bsakz NE oekko-bsakz OR
        gf_extended_check NE space ).
    PERFORM enaco_2(sapfmmex) USING '06' '806'.
