Material Master: where to maintain "SNP Demand" and "Deployment Profile" ?

Hello experts,
the APO material master has on tab "SNP 2" the section "SNP Demand Profile" and "SNP Deployment Profile". For my understanding such profiles allow you to assign the same settings to a lot of products simply using such profile which contain predefined settings.
Does somebody know where / how I maintain (change, create, delete) such profiles. I was scanning master data and SNP section within customizing SPRO and the within APO application menu tree under SNP and master data ... but couldn't find it.
Regards
Thomas

Use the following tcodes
/n/sapapo/snp101 - Demand prof
/n/sapapo/snp102 - Supply
/n/sapapo/snp111 - Deployment
And yes you are right , if you look in menu path or SPRO you cant find these . Not sure why.
Thanks

Hi All,
In material master two countries are comming Hungary and germany for tax classification ,can anybody tell why .
Thanks

Hello,
Please check the Tax Determination Rules & Tax Relevancy of Master Records in the link below:
IMG - Sales and Distribution - Basic Functions - Taxes
1. Define Tax Determination Rules
2. Define Tax Relevancy Of Master Records - Materiall Master.
It is from the above links the Countries & Tax Categories are proposed in Material Master / Customer Master.
Hope this helps,

Differece between SNP Optimizer and Deployment Optimizer

Hi,
Can anyone please list down the difference in the planning method for a deployment optimizer and SNP Optimizer?
Thanks & Regards,
Sanjog Mishrikotkar

Hi Sanjog,
First of all if we understand the difference between SNP Heuristic Planning run which finds the 'Source' of Supply with dates and quantities and Deployment Planning run which CONFIRMs the Supply .... then it is easy to understand the difference between SNP & Deployment Optimizer.
The Optimizer as you know Optimizes based on Costs and Objectively tries to MINIMIZE it. Therefore while the SNP Optimizer finds the most cost effective way of finding the Source of Supply with dates and quantities, identifying where in SC it is better to Store or move the Product, while the Deployment Optimizer generates the Best way to CONFIRM whether the Supply can ACTUALLY be done for the next few days. Deployment precedes the TLB Run which after confirmation we put the Quantities on a Transport Load to build Orders for Execution (Shipping).
Both are Cost based & use the Same Costs Information ... however one Plans and the Other Confirms. During Deployment Optimization run, the Optimizer may decide to confirm the supply from a different source than what the SNP Optimizer planned based on the Available to Deploy Stock Quanties and the Cost of Confirming the Supply. The Deployment Optimizer will apply Fairshare & Push/Pull Rules and looks at the Push and Pull Deployment Horizons which SNP Optimizer cannot. The Difference is also in Planning Time Range. You plan SNP Supply for mid to long term time range. The Deployment looks at Confirming the supply in the next few days from TODAY.
So in short first understand the Difference between a SNP Heuristic and Deployment Heuristic and apply the same principle to a cost based optimization. This should tell you the difference between the two.
Try read this ... First para on Deployment Optimizer ...

Target Days Supply in SNP Heuristics and Deployment

Dear Experts,
Does the Target Days supply only define the minimum and not the maximum stock levels?
Example: consider a Period P1
The target dayu2019s supply is 20 days, and the Days Supply in Period P1 is more than 20 (suppose 35)
The Total Demand in that week is not big enough to bring the Days supply < 20
Question:
Does the system still create a Distribution Reciept (Planned) in this case and keeps increasing the day's supply of dest location? Or does it create stock transfers only if Days Supply is threatening to fall below the Target Days Supply?
In other words:
Does Target Days Supply only come into picture when Days Supply < Target Days Supply, in which case the system adds the difference (Target Stock Level u2013 Current Stock Level) to total demand while creating stock transfers.
When Days Supply is >> Target Days Supply, does the SNP Heuristic still create a Stock Transfer even though there is enough stock to cater to the current total demand and not fall below Target Stock?
Hope you can help in understanding this concept.
Regards,
Rimjhim

Thanks for your reply.
Please correct if I have misunderstood:
While calculating the net requirement during SNP Heuristic run, the system will apply Target Stock Level into consideration and will only create a Pur Req if the stock is falling below the Target stock.
Thanks,
Rimjhim

Tax classification field to be fill automatically in material master

Hi Friends,
Is there any settings to fill automatically the tax classification fields In material master under sales : sales org 1 tab, tax data.
Could you please explain where we have to set the combination of country , taxcategory and tax classification. I have bit confusion about this relation ship.
My client requirement is to fill tax classification(Default 1 full tax) automatically while creating the material master data. Kindly guide me how to proceed in this regard...
thanks in advance,
Durga , sap sd

Dear Durga,
You want to know "Is there any settings to fill automatically the tax classification fields In material master..." . NO, there is no settings to maintain those filled automatically. because you are maintaining master data. and from master data those information are proposed to sales order.
your second query regarding combination of country, tax category, tax classification. If you want to maintain the combination of country, tax classification(1.tax classification of customer and 2. tax classification of material.), you need to maintain proper combination of fields in the pricing procedure.(...basic function>pricing>pricing control>Define condition table). here you have to put the fields in the field catelog and create the table.(that mean a table should be include those fields). And secondly the Tax Classification, you have to maintain in customer master and material master (where you maintain tax details. e.g, 0-tax exempt, 1-taxable etc.). And finally you have to maintain condition record of pricing (vk11) mainting value in those respective fields.
I think above info will help you. any further query, plz inform me.
Thanks

Material master for Rods and Plates.

Hi all!
   I need to know the answer for two critical questions in SAP-MM. I have asked this question some time before but have'nt got any replies. Here again i throw the same.
1. How to maintain material master for Rods of various diameter and length. One thing is sure that ordering unit is 'Kgs' and Basic unit of measure is 'mm'. I have a typical example for this. Say 1kgs=30mm. I am purchasing 1000 kgs (i.e.30000mm). In GRN i can receive the material as a whole stock say 30000mm.
       But eventhough the total length of the stock is 30000mm where can i maintain the breakage.i.e. for example say,
   1000mm - 10 Nos. 2000mm - 5 Nos. 2500mm - 4 Nos.
some of our friends are saying that we can map this via batch. But even batch is not possible. There is a reason. Say if length is the batch number and basic unit of measure is Nos, then how can you give the conversion between Nos & Kgs in additional data. For example how can i say 1000 kgs = 1 nos or 2 nos. This will be ridiculous then. I can give every dia available into different material codes. Thats not a problem. But how to receive rods in different length. I need the length & numbers combination. Also while issuing the materal after cutting numbers should reduce accordingly.
2. How to maintain the material master for Plates of various thickness. I think we can use Kgs as ordering unit and Sq.mm as basic unit of measure. How can we map the material issues to production for these kind of materials. We are issuing the material after cutting in 2-D only of various sizes in same material. No 3 domentional cutting is done. I need the lenght & width to be changed accordingly after issuing.
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Raj.

Dear
ANS:
First create different material code specific to length so identity of material at store will be their.(with specification at purchasing text tab)
Now as ur sure with ordering unit keep as kg. (this is at info record level)
Base UOM will be as MM (material master)
So now about issue part keep conversion factor as u require and make some standard according ur client .

Dear for this make material master as name with ur spacification and UOM as kg after cutting or processing according to Wight u can make issue note in the system.
Name as plate x*y sqr mm
So ordering as kg
Issue as kg

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

Maintain Text Types in Material Master

Hi,
Is it possible to maintain different text types in the materials master "Sales text" tab just like we can maintain at the sales order header and item levels.
In VOTXN there is no option for configuring text types for material master (text object MVKE) so I was wondering that if it is possible at all. Please let me know if you have any idea on the same.
Regards
Deepak

Hi Deepak,
In Material Master you can maintain the "Basic data text". It can be maintained in Basic data 1 view by selecting the Additional data. This text can also be fetched according to your requirement with the help of developer.

Using TREX for Material master for longtext (basic data) and classification

Hi together,
I am only having some basic know how about TREX.
We want to use TREX for quick search in Material master long texts (like basic data and so on) and also for searching in characteristic values of material master (tab: classification).
The TREX is successfull installed and It was possible for me to create an index for Material BUS1006001 in SES_ADMIN and search the material in this transaction by TREX. I also find the index in TREX_ADMIN "green".
But there I could only use the attributes of the standard business objects (for example describtion of material master = short text).
Now I want to use the long texts and the classification. What do I have to do in SES_ADMIN or somewhere else? Actually I only want to use the functionality in SAP GUI. If I know how to make the indixes I could program an own F4-Help for this in ABAP.
Can anybody help me?
Thanks a lot.
Florian

Hi Florian,
SES_ADMIN is the admin cockpit of the Search Engine Service (SES).
SES-based solutions usually include searching the long text. Just test!
SES-based solutions usually do not include searching via classification.
The successor framework of SES is "Embedded Search".
Embedded Search is available with NW 7.01, corresponding to ERP 6.04. For details see SAP note 1254901
Classification is supported by Embedded Search with NW 7.02, corresponding to ERP 6.05.
ERP 6.05 is in unrestricted availability since summer 2011.
If the customer can not upgrade to ERP 6.05, there is a preliminary SES-based solution for searching via classification.
The solution can only be provided via SAP PLM consulting.
Kind regards, Klaus Irle

Mass maintainenance of material master for the field MARC-NCOST,SOBSK

Hi
While maintaining two fields NCOST and SOBSK for hude materials using MM17 transaction, the transaction executed properly while saving the transaction. There is no warning and error messages for all materials. But it was not updated in material master or in tables. for other field relavent to MRP updated correctly.
when I am maintaining manually for each material it is taking the value update the same.
Please explain the problem why it was not updating and let me know the solution.
Regards
Kishore

Hi,
Thanks for ur response.
I am getting green light. Please note the application message given below.
"The material cannot be maintained since no maintainable data transferred
Message no. MG160
Diagnosis
You wanted to maintain an existing material master record as follows:
By changing it
However, you have not yet maintained the material master record for the organizational levels and data fields specified, or user departments selected. You can therefore process this data only in Create mode.
By extending it
However, you have already fully created the material master record for the organizational levels and data fields specified, or user departments selected. You can therefore process this data only in Change mode.
In both cases, this message can appear if there is no maintainable user department left. This occurs if you have not set the Check required fields indicator when transferring data (program RMDATIND). Although the absence of an entry in required fields does not then necessarily result in an error, the number of maintainable user departments is reduced accordingly.
Procedure
Depending on the cause, maintain the material master record in Create or Change mode, or also transfer the missing required fields."
where can I find IDoc list for this transaction.

Kishore

Need additional Description of Material apart from Material Master

Dear All,
One of our customer wants to maintain an additional Material Description, apart from the description maintained in the Material Master.
In the material Master, they are maintaining "Manufacturer Part Number" as a description.
In the Customer-Material Info record, they are maintaining "Customer's Part No".
Both are getting printing in the Invoice output.
Apart from these they need to maintain some other decription of material. Where we can maintain this?
For example, in the Material Master, they are maintaining "Manufacturer Part Number", something like "RM20010V". The same is not acceptable for Excise clearace officers. They asked them to maintain the clear description of the material.
Please suggest.
Regards,
Mullairaja

they need to maintain some other decription of material
Go to MM01 / MM02 and click "Select views" so that you can see a field SALES TEXT. You can maintain here and fetch the same to your sale order / billing.
thanks

Custom - Material Master Update using an IDOC (Message Type - MATMAS_BAPI)

Hello everyone,
I was writing a functional specs. Basically, I want to update the material master MM02 using an IDOC (MATMAS_BAPI01 - Basic Type & MATMAS_BAPI - Message Type). This is currently working.
To my understanding, this currently uses function module - BAPI_IDOC_INPUT1 to update the material master after the IDOC is posted to SAP ECC from XI system.
Now I want to add one small validation logic before it actually updates the material master (MM02).
I looked around and found one exit - EXIT_SAPLMV02_002 in enhancement MGV00001. I was almost sure that this EXIT can be used to write the custom validation code before, actual MM02 updation.
However while trying to establish a link between this EXIT and BAPI_IDOC_INPUT1, I found that EXIT_SAPLMV02_002 is actually a part of another function module - IDOC_INPUT_MATMAS01 and not BAPI_IDOC_INPUT1. I am stuck here if adding the custom logic in the exit really going to work.
a bit of googling and I found from WE30 that the purpose of both these function modules are actually different. While BAPI_IDOC_INPUT1 actually create & updates the material master (also plant specific master data which is my need), IDOC_INPUT_MATMAS01 is just for maintenence of few fields in MM02 (may be custom fields).
Can anyone point out if my thing is in right direction?
Also please offer any solution where shall I put the Custom Logic in the EXIT or the some variants of
BAPI_IDOC_INPUT1.
A less technical explanation would be appreciated as I come from a functional background and invloved in this for writing the func specs. I want to make it sure that what I write is not useless and makes some sense.
Thanks in advance,
Arunesh

Hi Lalit,
Did some head breaking with the function module - BAPI_IDOC_INPUT1 to check whether it is calling the EXIT_SAPLMV02_002 internally. Couldn't get anywhere.
On question of another EXIT in BAPI_IDOC_INPUT1, I don't see any. I am not very proficient in ABAP code, I must say though.
I found the list of exits from google, almost same list everywhere.
http://www.sapfans.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=296637
here I got the EXIT, I am talking about.
Any other way to find either the EXIT or link the above?
