Material define for shipping in material master.

Hello,
My client is used the trading goods process,they have to imports the goods.They want to define the material shipping as initial phase in material master,it has to come by sea or air,requirement is that they define the material in purchasing in material master so that it come in po that will change if material is come instead of sea or vice versa. Is there any possibility to define shipping in material master and this tab come in PO to change it.
Please provide the solution how to solve this requirement.
Regards
Rahul

Hi Rahul
Material master is does not control route of the material where as vendor location does... explore the option of Purchasing info records ... I think Inco-Terms most frequently used to identify that material coming by Sea, rail or road etc
I would not recommend to meet this requirement using material master.
Thanks,
Jagdeep

Error M7 311 "No Special stock defined for value only material"

I had this in the SD forum however someone suggested to go to the MM forum. Here is my issue
I am receiving an error when trying to receive our demo unit in as an inbound receipt off of an RMA (this is our normal process when we send a demo unit to customer).
The error message is "No special stock defined for value only material" I noticed that the MRP views were not extended so i tried to extend those and it still gives the same error message in our testing client and also created a new RMA to see if same error exists and it does, please advise
NOTE: In our Accounting 1 tab we are not utilizing the valuation category in the Accounting 1 tab of the material master. RMA is a Return of a material for service. Our Demo units after issued to customer for a demo come back using this method to check and service if needed before putting into stock. Material does not have a procurement tab as this is considered as an asset. No split valuation.

Dear Kimberly
Issue:No special stock defined for value only material
This mesaage will come up when you have active the valuation category for the material in Accounting 1 view
but not extend the valuation type for that material, due to this reason syestem is not able to find out the exact valuation for the material, You can opt for 2 suggestion
1 Extend the material in t. code. MM01 for the right valuation type
2 If you dont want to use Valuation category ( if you dont want the split valuation for the material) you fst settle the all Open PO and quantity for that material and then archieve the material and recreate again
Please let me know if u have any query

Difficult question? - 2 substitute material number for 1 real material??

Hi Experts
In our company,for some specail requirement,we want to have two material numbers for one real
material,that means this two materials are substitute for each other. In every transaction, we can
use this both two material numbers.
For example,material number "A123 " and "B456" , these two material numbers are for one real
material, In evevry transaction we can use "A123 " or "B456".For exmaple ,we can create and release
a production order to produce"A123",and when doing goods receive for this produciton order with
MB31,we could use"B456" for the same production order. And also when we view the stock for "A123" in SAP,we could get the the sum stock of "A123" and "B456".
Is it possible in SAP?How to achieve it?
Thanks for any reply!

Hi,
In standard SAP it is not possible, You have only two options,
1. Maintain Single material and use split valuation.
2. Maintain two different materials and do material to material transfe as and when required.

Change material group for an existing material

Hi all,
What is the steps to change a material group for an existing material?
Is there any impact on the reports if I were to change the material group of an existing material?
Thanks and regards,
JT

Yes, You can change in MM02 and also while changing you will get the folloeing Warning message..
You are changing material group, but material already used by purchasing
     Message no. M3531
Procedure
     When changing the material group of a material that is already being
     used by the purchasing department, you should note that:
     o   The purchasing statistics show how much of a material group has
         already been ordered. Unitl the change is made, the material is
         managed under the old material group and therefore the old material
         group statistics are updated. From the moment the change is made,
         the new material group's statistics are updated.
     o   Some purchase orders may derive from contracts with item categories
         referring to material groups. If this is the case, the material
         cannot be used after the change has been made.
     o   Every purchase requisition is allocated to a release strategy that
         can depend on the material group. A new release strategy may apply
         to a new material group. Purchase requisitions that were created
         before the change are subject to the old strategy; purchase
         requisitions that were created after the change are subject to the
         new strategy.

According to material num,for every new material num one line space.

Hi,
please give suggestion how to get vertical lines without breaking as shown below.
I want according to material number(AT1),for every new material number one line space have to be there.
I used 'skip' so the verical line is breaking for every new material.
Material Number |   Material Description
_____________ |______________________________________________
|    AT1                  |   Catalyst - 18165-RNA-A013-Y2

|   CGW0001             SUBSTRATE 148 X 84 X 67 - 400/6/S/0.699L
I need line continous but for every new material to material gap.
Thanks,

BAPI FOR CREATION OF MATERIAL VARIANT IN SAP

Dear All,
Can anoy one please provide me name of BAPI to create material variant.This is required when we create material variant for a configurable material, characteristics values are added in MRP 3 View .

i am not clear what youn are looking for.
Say material X is KMAT,
Material Y you have created as a variant of X by entering the conf material X in MRP3 view and setting the char values
Material Z you have created as a variant of X by entering the conf material X in MRP3 view and setting the char values different than Y
Now Y and Z are material variants of X, now tell me exactly what you are looking for?

Material Variant of a Config Material to take Charac. Values from Sales Ord

Hello Guys,
Is there any way to have a Material Variant for a Configurable Material to take the Characteristic values from a Sales Order instead of Material Master ?
I understand by default Material Variant has fixed characteristic values and is taken from material master......
however here is the situation am in.......
I have a completely MTO scenario where we will making the product from scratch only after we know the characteristic values.......however our Costing Guys want to do standard cost estimate for the Configurable Material somehow......they were able to do Cost Rollup by making the Configurable Material itself as the Material variant of itself (assigning the same Configurable Material # in MRP3 view)............however this broke my design of taking characteristics from the Sales Order...because the Configurable Material is now behaving as Material Variant and taking the default characteristic values from the Material Master....
Note: Our Costing guys donot want to cost settlement at Sales Order level.
Regards,
BRN.

I had exactly the same problem. (configuration "blocked" in SO because the use of material variants for PC purposes...)
SAP help says : To allow you to change the configuration of material variants in the sales order, the Configuration allowed or required indicator must be set in Customizing for Sales and Distribution. The requirements class is determined using the strategy group and requirements type defined in the material master.
The req. class parameter, mentioned not very clearly by the SAP help, that allows changing the characteristic values of a material variant during the SO configuration is V_T459K-KONFI and value must be either * or +
Hint: A quick check can be done In the SO entry: go to the procurement tab and replace your requirement type by KEL, you'll see that configuration is "open"
Hope this helps

Implementing work time for shipping points

Hi,
I was trying to implement work hours for shipping points and has come across a weird issue. Once I define working shifts , the calculated PGI date is one day early,
Example:
Without work shifts for shipping point
Customer requested date - 08/26/2011
Route -2 day truck
No pick pack /loading time
I get a PGI date of 08/24
Work shift of 06:00 to 14 :00 hrs defined for shipping point, everything else remains the same:
I get a PGI date of 08/23 , 14: 00 Hrs.
The users are not happy with this; does anyone have a clue as to why SAP behaves in this manner and what is the business reason behind this calculation ?
Thanks,
Hari.

HI,
It basically depends on the working times, shifts and factory calendar.
If your PGI falls on a Sat or Sun then SAP would calculate the PGI date on the subsequent working day.

Amit

"Item category IRIN is not defined for this item."
I want to know where and how is the link between Item Category and Material is maintained
Thanks in advance.

sales document typeitem category groupusage+higher level item= default item category
or + leis + sein + enter over item= irin
this is for determination ,
in the material master you will check the item category group , sale view tab 1, 2, and also basic data.
based on this will take , line item , item category . so sales view and basic data view item category group are same , other wise system sows this is error message ,
please check this

Report For list of material Master with PO text

Hi all,
I need a report whether it is available in Standard SAP or a customized, for List of Material Master with their PO text.
If any one can help, please reply to this theard.
Regards,
Kapil Kulkarni

To get the material number combined with the PO text you will need the help of an ABAP programmer. The programmer can create a report for you using the function module READ_TEXT in the function group STXD. The tables to use are:
STXH - STXD SAPscript text file header
STXL - STXD SAPscript text file lines
The selection screen should have at least the following:
OBJECT - STXH-TDOBJECT
NAME - STXH-TDNAME
LANGUAGE - STXH-TDSPRAS
TEXTID - STXH-TDID
You find the information for these fields by going to the PO text entry screen and displaying the header information under Goto -> Header. For materials, the object is MATERIAL, the name is "material number", the language is "EN", and the text ID is BEST. You can use this program to get long text in lots of places like information records, purchase order texts, etc.
Hope this helps.

Error while creating PR, 'No Procurement defined for material 150'

Hi Eswar,
I think you have not extended the Purchasing view for that material.
Goto MM01 and select the material 150 then select the Purchasing view for the Organizational level (plant).
Or check the Procurement type in MRP2 view for that material.
Check the cross Plant material status in Basic data 1 & Purchasing view for that material, whether the material is blocked for any procurement.
Check all these you will find the solution.

Excise Tab in GR for PO without material master

Hi all,
while creating GR for PO without material master, when we tick Item OK, excise tab is appearing. SO user has to select No excise Entry from Excise header tab, which user dont want to do as its not having any excise duy. So can anyone tell me what may be the reason that this tab is coming. As that vendor some times provide materials which is having excise duty, so we need to maintain it in Vendor Excise details in J1ID. Any solution for this?
Regards

As you have maintained vendor excise details in J1ID, excise tab is getting reflected in MIGO.
Select 'No excise entry' & post GR which you are currently doing.

Customizing Error Message in ME23N
When displaying of modifying Purchase Orders with a document type of Framework Order, a user selects the LIMITS tab, they get the error message Customizing incorrectly maintained, message number SE729.
The problem is caused by version upgrades of the SAP software.
Number of entries in table T162V is different to the number of columns in table control for screen SAPLMLSP (400). You can use screen painter SE51 to display the screen. View the Element list for TC_VIEW.
The list of fields can also be viewed within the program. Transaction code ML81N (service entry sheet), program SAPLMLSR. Click on the Configuration button (top right hand corner) select Administrator. This shows the number of fields as 67.
Using SE16N to view table T162V shows 69 fields. This table contains six layouts (variants), they must all be the same. Before the change the total count was 414 (69 x 6).
The ME23N transaction only checks that the number of entries is correct. You will notice that the fields are not in the same sequence, but that should not matter if you donot use the service transaction ML81N and it is not a selectable tab on ME23N.
Transaction SM31 was used to delete the extra fields. As this is a SAP table, you may need extra authorisations to make the change.
Note: the number of fields shown above will be different in each site. This is because of different SAP versions and in what software is loaded.
