Material determination-out of stock matls to be excluded from matl.subst.

dear experts,
my scenario: i´m using material substitution (reason 005 - Manual matl selectn) with Strategy "A" (substitute products are displayed for selection) - to offer several materials when user enters the material name in va01. i need to exclude materials which are currently out of stock from this selection. any ideas?
thanks a lot.

hello, Zuzana.
i believe the availability check in material determination only works with automatic selection, or selection in the background. perhaps you may need enhancements to allow manual selection only for materials that are in stock.

In V_V2 the role of Sort Item by date of creation and Sort by delivery date of earliest schedule line for the Sales Orders when Material is out of Stock.

Hi All,
Good Morning,
I am working on once Incident for Re-Scheduling Program V_V2 where the user has requested us to change the criteria for determining the priority of Sales Document based on Sort Item by date of creation. Currently they are using the Sort by delivery date of earliest schedule line in the Variant.
I would like to know the role these both options play in the Re-Scheduling program V_V2. I would like to know the impact of both of them and the kind of testing I need to perform to study the behaviour of Sales Orders especially when the material is out of stock?
Please explain with help of examples.
Thanks
Farhan.

This is not that simple that an example would explain how this transaction works but I'll give you some examples.
Material A has SO1 and SO2 of 10KG each, stock is 20KG so both quantities are confirmed at today. A stock recount determines a reduction to 5KG. This program would change confirmed quantity of SO1 to 5KG and SO2 to 0KG if:
Creation date of SO1 is older then SO2 in strategy 1
1st delivery date of SO1 is smaller then SO2 in strategy 2
Material B has SO1 and SO2 with 10KG each but no quantity confirmed, stock is 0KG. A prodution adds 15KG to stock. The program would change confirmed quantities of SO1 to 10KG and SO2 to 5KG if:
Creation date of SO1 is older then SO2 in strategy 1
1st delivery date of SO1 is smaller then SO2 in strategy 2
I'm assuming a specific configuration, there are many other scenarios possible.
regards,
Edgar

The BT shop is ran by Dabs.com which was bought by BT years ago but ran as a separate company and the BT shop is just a reskinned version of Dabs and the only reason why I use the BT shop they have cheaper p&p than dabs do, which is stupid.
Both Dabs and BT are showing stock of 14 yet you say that they claim it is out of stick, sounds like they are having a right problem with stock control or the call centre is trying to fob you off.
I would write to Dabs.com and ask why you were told to go to a BT shop when they don't exist any more and while is their stock control is so out of whack.
Even if you get fobbed off handling a complaint letter costs these companies money and the more that people do it the more likely they will change something.
As a consolaton Amazon has it cheaper than Dabs, with free delivey and Amazon stock control is bang on.

Hi Gajesh,
I have looked in to the material availability date and it gives me the required result about 80%.
only problem is e.g.
if the customer placed order for a material for 10qty and if we had 5 in stock same day and the rest of the 5 qty is available after the month but material availability picks up that 5 qty and it does not show that we were not able to fullfill the order 100%. material availability date does not pick up the second date.
how do i overcome this issue? do you have any idea?
regards,

Material Determination issue

Hello SD experts,
There is an issue with the material determination table.We want that the entered material should get replaced with the substitution material if the substitution material has stock. This works fine in our case.But when the substitution material is out of stock the sytem should point to the material entered (original material) and confirm the stock from it.This is not happening as the system is pointing towards the substitution material only and confirming the stock.
Material entered: A
Substitution material : B
B is out of stock so A should be there in the sales order as its has got stock. Buts system is showing B and confirming stock from A.
Please help. Thanks in advance.

Hi Prashant, please try this and let me know if it works.
in your material determination record, enter
substitution material 1: B
substitution material 2: A
enter substitution reason 4 or 6

Material Determination use stock of discontinued material

I am trying to determine if there is a way in R/3 to have a material replace an older material but as sales orders are entered take into consideration any inventory that might still remain of the discontinued material. Here is an example.
1.) We have 15 EA of Material A in inventory in Plant 123
2.) We are going to discontinue Material A and replace with Material B in this plant
3.) VB11 Condition Records are setup for the A to B substitution for order entries
4.) Order for 20 EA for Material A comes in
I would like to see a requirement tp use the 15 from A that are still inventory and then place an order for the remaining 5 on the new Matl B (from Mfg or whomever provides).
Is this possible using the condition records for material determination and the follow-up material options on MRP4 view?

Hi Bill,
This is possible using standard SAP functionalities.
Now considrer a situation where you are creating VB11 record for material A(to be discontiniued) which is to be substituted by material B. And the need is to deplete the available stock of material A first and then start substituting it with material B.
In order to achieve this, while creating a record in VB11 firstly create a record for replacing mat A by mat A , then double click the record line that you have created, which will pop up a small window giving you options to enter mutiple alternatives apart from mat A. where you can you can enter material B as the second alternative/replacement after mat A.
The sequence of material is important to decide which material is considered as the replacement by the system.
In our case system will first replace mat A by mat A and search for stock availability, if sufficient stock or no stock available it will replace the original mat A with the alternative material entered in the VB11 record i.e. Mat B.
Another important thing to note while creating VB11 record is a check box available as "MRP Indiciator" now this indicator plays an important role while transferring requirement to MRP.
In our case we have Mat A which is being disontinued so we dont want the requirement for mat A to be transferred to MRP incase of shortage, instead we want the requirement for material B to be transferred for MRP.
In this case you need to check the MRP indicator box for Material B. if not checked the requirement for Mat A would be transferred to MRP.
Hope this clarifies your questions.
Thanks,
Kishor

SD Material determination - copy control - print out

Hi Experts,
I'm using material determination for inquiries (AF). In that material determionation it's defined that substitute products will be displayed for selection and the original entered material number will be used for print out.
When I'm creating an offer with reference to that inquiry, I can see the substitute material no. as defined in material determination. But this number is also used for print out, which does't match to the material determanation definition (the original entered material number should have been printed)
The same appears when I'm creating the order with reference to the offer.
Can someone tell me where and why I'm loosing the connection to the material determination?
Thanks
Anja

HI Anja,
check with "substitution reason" in OVRQ
entry coloum and outcome coloum
maintain according to your requirement.

How to get out of stock material in report

Hi,
I have a requirement where we need to find out which customers orders were not fulfilled due to stock availability. or how do I get which materials were out of stock yesterday.
thank you for your input in advance.
biapprentice

Stock is the most difficult information to manage in Business Warehouse, since it is fast changing and time depended data.
If I were you I will built my solution based on DSO and then infocubes. For example, you will store day + SKU + stock quantity in one DSO and you may create an other DSO you may store the daily order requirement. After this stage you can load calculated data in a infocube and report by using simple queries.
Hope I can open a gate.
Cheers,
Sarhan.

Material list from Matl. determination cond.type

Hi Guru's,
I want to create a report thru querry to extract the Materials which are under particular division/s from the Materials determination condition type( EX. A001).
I am not able to get the correct table from the condition type for material determination to join with the MARA table, so that i can extract the entire material list from Condition typer or condition records of A001 and join with MARA to filter those materials according to the divisions.
Your earliest help will be rewarded.
Manoj

Thanks sankar,
But i would like to generate a Querry, with the condition type from say xxxx table and material no. and division form MARA table.
Could you be more in detail how to go about it thru querry using which table.
Thanks
Manoj

Out of stock Sales Order Item to trigger a BDC to create a PO

Dear ABAPers,
I have a couple of questions:
1. In the sales order program code, how do you find out if an item being ordered is out of stock? Which tables and fields do you check?
2. when an item is determined to be out of stock, we want to trigger a BDC to create a PO. How do you do that?
I know these are big questions. You can give me either an overview or detail solution, it's up to you.
Thanks!

Hi,
Assuming all the basic settings are configured
Step1: Run T Code VA01 and input the u201Cdocument typeu201D as OR along with your sales area. Then enter your business partner number along with the material number and quantity. Save the order.
Step2: T Code VA03 input the order number which you have created. Select the line item and (menu bar) Goto u2013 Items u2013 Schedule lines. You will find the u201Cpurchase requisitionu201D for that item just copy the number.
Note: If you unable to see the u201Cpurchase requ201D in the sales order then make sure you need to change the Item category group of a material in MM02 as BANC in Sales: sales org 2 tab.
Step3: Run T Code ME21N under the item paste the u201Cpurchase requisitionu201D number generated at sales order level and hit enter that will automatically give all the details, save. You can save the Purchase order.
This scenario will only help to create purchase order until I know why you want to create a purchase order I canu2019t proceed further.

Material Determination - quantity check in sales order

Hi everyone.
Hope all is good.
I have a doubt in Material Determination.
If I need to substitute a product in Material Determination, how can I come to know whether the quantity of the replacement material that is replacing the substitute material is available or not.
I know while creating a delivery the system will show quantity not available.
However, how we can see the result while placing a order?
Because there can be a scenario the material which is replacing the different material, we might dont have their quantity also available. So, it will be a waste to create a order and then wait for the results in delivery.
Another situation.
In MD process, what my client is looking for is
Substitute Reason- Availability
If material X does not have quantity it should be replaced with Material Y.
However if Material X has quantity, then MD should not take place. No replacement should happen.
The reason is there is a huge in and out of stock every now and then.
Do both the scenarios can be worked out in standard SAP?
Please suggest.

Hi Joan,
Thank you for the reply. I understood the subsitute reason.
But my question is We have substituted Y for X.
Now what I am asking is what if Y is also not available. Can in the order itself we can come to know whether quantity of Y is available or not instead of delivery.
Second if the subsitute reason is "quantity not available"- not in front of the system so not sure about the code. Same Y for X and now if quanity for X is available the material should not be susbtituted.
Please correct if I am wrong.
Regards

Material Determination based on Availability

Hi SD gurus,
I have a client requirement as below:
We create order via BAPI. Data comes from ext call center system.
Whenever Matnr A is entered in Sales order & it is not available then Matnr B should come.
1: I know that we can handle this in Material Determination. I did req. config in IMG
2: I have created VB11 stating that MATNR A should be substituted by Matnr B. I have ticked the MRP ind in VB11 as well.
Now the question is:
When I enter MATNR A in sales order, & assuming its not available then, MATNR B will come in Sales order.
In my case it is happening. But whenever this happens what should be the item category of the MATNR A & MATNR B?
Please let me understand how will standard SAP behave.
I thought the item A should appear as Text item & probably item B should become relevant for delivery & pricing.
But currently I am getting item category TAX for item A & TAPS for item B in sand box. Is that correct?
What should be the standard item categories in this case?
regards

Hi,
The system runs several checks on on each possible substitute, for example to determine if the customer would accept the product based on the product attributes and current stock availability.The system checks substitute materials until the order quantity is satisfied, or until there are no more possible substitutes.
When a valid alternative is found, the system creates a sub-item for it, using the item category that you have defined for the main material in Customizing.
If there is not enough inventory for the alternatives to cover a required quantity, the system confirms only the available amount and ignores the rest. The main item contains information on the confirmed quantity of the sub-item, but is not relevant for planning. For this reason, the material shortage is not passed on to planning.
If you set the material requirements planning indicator for one of the alternatives, however, the system creates an additional sub-item for this material, assigning it a confirmed quantity equal to zero, and a required quantity equal to the open quantity. Since this material is placed as the final alternative in the substitution, it captures any remaining quantities. The system takes this item into account and passes the material shortage on to planning.
Based on your settings Customizing, the system performs pricing at the main or sub-item level.
There are two separate item categories in sales documents for product selection. The item category TAX contains specifications for the main item (original product). The other, TAPS, contains specifications for the sub-items (substitute product).
Review the item category configurations in the standard system. If these do not meet your requirements, perform the activities in the following topics to modify the item category configuration, or create your own categories. Note that if your product selection procedure requires that pricing be done at the main item instead of the sub-item, you will have to create new item categories.
The following examples detail how pricing is carried out at the main item level and sub-item level for product selection.
Pricing at the Main Item
the price for the order is determined based on the price condition records for the main item only. You have deactivated pricing for the sub-item category, so the system does not determine a price for it. Since both the main item and the sub-item categories are relevant for billing, the prices (even if there is no price) are copied to the invoice and billed accordingly.
Pricing at the Sub-item
the price for the order is determined based on the price condition records for the sub-items. You have deactivated pricing for the main item category, so the system does not determine a price for it. Since both the main item and the sub-item categories are relevant for billing, the prices (even if there is no price) are copied to the invoice and billed accordingly.

Material Determination - Critical Issue

Dear Friends,
We are using material determination automaticall
The reason for substitution here is non availability of stock of ordered material, because of which system seeks the stock of substitute material.
The way we have configured is: When material is entered in sales ordered, system check stocks of entered material, if available partially provides the available stock & seeks for substitute material, where even if partial stock for substitute material is available, one more line is created for this material.
This line created as a sub item (like in sales BOM). Futher even after seeking substitute the order quantity is not fulfilled one more line is created for the original ordered material with a backorder tick.
The order items look as under:
10 000000000005893343 50.000 EA Cover
11 000000000005893343 9.000 EA Cover
12 000000000005893653 3.000 EA CYLINDER HEAD
13 000000000005893343 38.000 EA Cover
10) is entered item.
11) entered item available stock
12) substitute item available stock
14) unavailable backorder stock for entered item.
At this point of time we can deliver the order items 11 & 12 with further processing.
But later when we upload the stock for entered item, availability check cannot be carried out in the order, since all the items become grey out, when we create first delivery.
This is a very critical issue in our case.
Please suggest soon as possible so that we crack the issue.
With Best Regards
Nate.
p.s. This Question is posted old ago by Dhananjay. But The solution no exist.
(reference)Material Determination - Critical Issue

Dear Friend.
Thank you for your help.
All the items become grey out after we create first delivery.
So i should be just click on item availabilty, but it doesn't run.
<Step>
1. Material determiantion setting : A(highItem) - A(subitem) - B(subitem)
2. Material stock A : 10 ea, B: 10ea
3. Sales Order Creation : Material A 25 ea -> A 10 ea Confirmation, B 10 ea Confirmation and 5 ea Open, S/O No. QQQQ
4. Deivery Creation : Material A 10 ea , Material B 10 ea Delivery, G/I and Billing
5. Material B 5 ea supplement
6. Sales Order QQQQ Material B : re ATP carry out. But Don't run. All the Items become grey out.
