Material Movements activation procedure

Hi,
I'm not an MM specialist and I need to activate the business content for Material Movements and I need a good guide for what needs to be done on the ERP side. I've found this help (http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/5b/8dc73cee4fb55be10000000a114084/frameset.htm), but it's rather poor and doesn't say anything on what to do on the customizing size of ERP in order to get things running properly.
I've also found this guide https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/f83be790-0201-0010-4fb0-98bd7c01e328, which seems to be in contradiction to the help.sap.com guide when it comes to which reports to run.
Has any of you a good guide for dummies like me?

Hello,
In the document, SAP document may i had:
"After executing the menu entry, a dialog box appears in which you must specify
whether you want to carry out a setup for material movements (to be extracted using
the DataSource 2LIS_03_BF, Report RMCBNEUA, transaction OLI1BW) or for
revaluations (DataSource 2LIS_03_UM, Report RMCBNERP, transaction OLIZBW).
In the previous scenario, we only looked at material movements. For this reason, the
setup of revaluations is to be ignored here as well (setup runs analogously to that of
material movements)."
So in the previous cenario RMCBNEUB (material movements) should be run, now it may not be run. Use the cenario that is in the help, it should work too, but i think this document is more complete.
Read the details about the two reports here:

  • Link of material movement with inspection type

    Hello Masters,
    I have scenario where component at shop floor will be segregated for inspection. The requirement is to do result/defect recording for those parts and if required then those parts need to be scrapped. So one way of doing that can be to move those parts to either blocked stock or QI stock (ideal option) or to specific storage location so that planning can be taken care of (if material are still in unrestricted then planning will consider those part as OK part and planning may fail). And to record result/defect we require inspection lot, which can be created by using above mentioned material movement.
    But problem is how to create inspection lot so that we can do result/defect recording for those materials and scrap those material.
    Please note that material master will have QM setup active (inspection type 01 - Goods Receipt Insp. for Purchase Order) and hence we can move material from unrestricted stock to QI stock only through QM.
    I am not sure if we should use inspection type 08 - Stock transfer inspection, as there can be many instances of material transfer within plant. And with inspection type 08 active, system will create inspection lot every time there is any material transfer.
    One way can be to create new goods movement only for this kind of transfer and new inspection type and link both together. So that when ever material is transferred using that particular goods movement, system creates inspection lot as well as material will be in QI stock. But I am not sure how this is possible or not and if yes then how this can be done.
    I know query was too long to read and I think I was clear enough to explain what the requirement is.
    It would be great if I can get some guidance from you masters at the earliest convenience as it is bit of importance.
    Thanks and regards,
    Devang

    Hi Devang,
    I guess this is Line rejection scenario. Correct me if understanding goes wrong. You have okayed the material against 01 inspection lot and UD has been given. Now you find this material defective on shop floor.
    I think the 2nd option suggested by marwadi sounds better. I suggest one more possibility, just check whether feasible.
    1.     Create quality notification Q2 type through QM01. While creating you can give references of original PO and material document, which fetch vendor name and material code automatically.
    2.     Record defects and all other required information in notification.
    3.     After this, you find an option in action box, transfer post unrestricted - >block . Click there. This will transfer the stock from unrestricted to block.
    4.     If you want planning persons should not consider this stock as OK, remove block stock from MRP stock availability check. As a result of which stock lying in block will not be considered as available stock.
    5.     From block stock you can send this material back to vendor through MIGO. Otherwise you can create return delivery from notification through action box also. Check what is feasible in your case.
    Here you need not create inspection lot, no need to use any user exit.

  • Reloading Historical Material Movements

    I've recently reloaded Material Movements Infosource which populates the Cube 'Material Movements' as well as the ODS 'Material Documents'.  I did the update with only the latest data as the documentation said I could then go back afterwards and perform a full update for historical data (for example one month at a time).  The historical loads have worked great for the Cube however when looking at the ODS I can see that all of my historical loads have yet to be activated.  The problem is that when I go to activate them I get the error;
    "Full 57,714 has overlapping selections with init."
    "0000056305: No updates into ZMMO1"
    I was very careful not to have any overlapping selections and they are definitely not overlapping (and have loaded successfully into the cube) so I don't understand what the problem is.  I did notice in my documentation that, if loading to an ODS, I had to do a 'full repair' instead of a 'full update'.  But I don't see where the option is for 'full repair'.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    To load data into the cube, in RSA1 goto the InfoSource tab and search for an InfoSource called 8<i>YrODSName</i>. Here you can create an InfoPackage that will load the full/delta (as the case may be) to your cube. You can execute this just like any other load.
    FYI: The automatic laod to datamart setting can be found in ODS maintenance. Just double click your ODS and in the right hand pane open up the Settings > this will be the last one , below automatic activate.
    Hope this helps...

  • Material Ledger Activation in a live environment

    Hi Experts,
    My client is already in a live SAP environment. So now they would like to activate Material Ledger/Actual Costing to enable the actual cost calculation. I have never worked in an environment where we activated ML in a live system.
    The client is considering activating ML for the purpose of actual costing. We are also considering parallel valuations i.e. we would like to use Group Valuations to satisfy group reporting requirement.
    Would appreciate if you could provide some insights or guidance on how to do this. Specifically, I also would like to understand the following areas with regards to the above requirements:
    1. Timing - should we do this only in a new fiscal year or we can do this at the start of a new period during the year;
    2. How can we migrate the actual cost with the right cost components
    Thank you for your reply.
    TL

    Hi TL,
    All your above-said requirements can be fulfilled by activation of ML. Regarding your doubts :
    01.     Timingu2014As per SAP, there is no time constraint for ML Activation. The ML Activation program i.e., t-code-CKMLSTART will look after all system required settings. The date on which you have activated ML, for all Material Types, the preliminary valuation will become u201CStandard Priceu201D, all the Price/FOREX differences will be accumulated in ML Price differences categories. After the ML  month-end activities, system will calculate the average price i.e., Periodic Unit Price (PUP). PUP will be treated as Actual Current Product cost, Month-end Inventory Value of  the material.  It can also be used as future Standard Price.
    02.     . How can we migrate the actual cost with the right cost components :
    No need of  migration of actual cost with right cost components. All Actual Material movements transaction data i.e., Beginning Inventory, Goods Receipt, Goods Issue, Ending inventory will be reflected in ML. The Components are same as per the Product Cost Planning  Cost Components which are available in  assigned Cost Component structure. These  will be reflected in ML Analysis report in t-code-CKM3.

  • Error message rgd. Material Movements / Inventory Management

    Hello,
    We have Problem to load Material Movements data in Inventory Management InfoCube.
    On BW-Side we had deleted Inventory Management InfoCube content completely before we started with opening stock, Material Movements.
    We have filled set up tables for opening stocks, Material Movements and Revaluation successfully on R/3 Side. We have also filled archive data for Material Movements and Revaluation in set up tables.
    We have loaded the opening stock balance into InfoCube. The request containing the opening
    stock has been compressed.
    We are trying to load the material movements (Initialize delta) into Cube. We get the error message:
    u201CThe material XXXXXXXX does not exist or is not activatedu201D.
    We have analyzed these materials (from error message) and find out that these materials are already archived on R/3 side but these materials are in Master Data table on BW-Side.
    How we can deal with this problem? The BW-System is SAP NetWeaver 2004s (Support
    Package SAPKW70016). The SAP R/3-System is SAP ECC 6.0.
    We had same proceeding in March 2008 with BW 3.0B and R/3 4.7 and had no problem at all.
    Many thanks

    Hi,
    Hope u have loaded the master data in BW side and also activated the Master data i.e i assume that u have done Attribut change run.

  • Material movement through notification

    Dear QM Experts,
    I am trying to create Q2 notification through QM01 transaction. As all of you by means of action box one can transfer the stock to block through 344 movement.
    We came across for the requirement that 311 movement should happen for defective qty internal and external through Q2 notification type. For this we developed new Z function module and assigned this FM in action box through SPRO. Then followed the sequence as below
    1.     QM01 and selection of Q2 notification type
    2.     Enter material, vendor, plant, complaint qty, ext and int qty, then defect recording
    3.     Click on customized action box option after which new Z screen gets called capturing defective qty int and ext with storage location from and to fields.
    4.     Entering of storage locations manually
    5.     Enter
    6.     Then two material movements happen (one for int qty and other for ext qty)
    7.     Material documents also gets generated.
    8.     But then error comes as
    *Object does not exist (status management)
    Message no. IM258
    Diagnosis
    This refers to an error in central status management.
    Task status
    The central status management connection at task level will only be supported from Release 3.0.
    For this reason, no task status is available for statuses created before changing to Release 3.0, and status change is therefore also not possible.
    Procedure
    In the case of task statuses of notifications in releases prior to 3.0:
    When you save a notification you can create a status for the tasks.
    In the case of notification or task statuses for notifications from Release 3.0:
    Please refer to your system administrator.*
    Whether note 365251 can solve this problem or there is something that i am missing in the procedure.?
    Thanks in advance

    Instead of going fo new invemtory cube with the help of standard 0IC_C03 you can achive it.
    Create ODS or DSO with all the fields of 2LIS_03_BF and build multiprovider on ODS and standard inventory.
    the key field syou can use are material doc number and MJAHR,document line item number.
    build query on Multi provider and restrict movement types as you desire.
    This will help you as well as you will have inventory staging data which can be further used .
    load 2lis_03_bf directly to ODS as well as 0ic_co3.
    hopwe this will give an Idea.

  • SAP Standard Followup Action for Material Movement at the time of UD.

    Does anyone know if SAP offers a standard Followup Action that once completing the Automatic Usage Decision, it will perform a Material to Material movement at the same time. 
    Exampe: I have two Materials with different Inspection types and Inspection Plans that will get processed and made into CP14.
    1) CP14H - Incomimg Inspection Type Z01
    2) CP14.B1 - Inprocess Inspection Type Z04
    Both materials get assigned to the correct plan.  They are then tested for required characteristics.  If all are in Spec, an auto Batch Job complete the UD.  At the same time I want to do a Material to Material movement to CP14 Unrestricted Stock for both inspection lot types.  Right now to do the Material to Material movement I have to complet a MIGO transaction manually.

    Look at FM QM06_FM_TASK_GOODS_MOVEMENT.
    It is a standard function module that is used in the action boxes in a quality notification to perform a goods movement.  It is meant to be interactive with the user so it won't work as is, as a follow-up action to a UD.  But you might be able to have your programmers copy this FM and use it as a basis to create your own custom code for your follow-up action.  It might save you some time.

  • Material Movements

    Hi
    We have a custom data source: ZMARACD  created usingMARA,MARD,MARC and MBEW. Now we need Storage location and Storage Bin from MSEG. I wrote start routine and reading the Material movements ODS in to Material plant ODS as we need these fields in to material plant and material movements ODS has them...
    But when I run the full load of ZMARACD , it is taking more than 10 hours with no data to ODS, where as if I remove the start routine logic it is taking less than 10 mins to load...Any idea on why this is not working?

    MARD already has that info

  • Movement types for material movements in refurbishment process

    Hi,
    I require some clarification about the movement types to be used when posting material movements in the standard refurbishment process.
    I am mentioning the standard refurbishment process below. Please correct me if I am wrong or if I missed anything.
    1) Dismantle a defective spare part from the machine.
    2) Take this defective spare to a storage location for unserviceable stock. (Materials movement-post GR)
    3) Withdraw a new or repaired spare for the above material. (Materials movement-post GI)
    4) Install the the above new or repaired spare to the machine.
    5) Repair the defective spare.
    Now I am confused and what I require to know is that for steps 2 and 3 what transaction to use for goods movement and what standard movement types are recommended for this GR and GI?
    Thanks and regards,
    Abhijit Dutta

    Abhijit Dutta
    The standard Refurbishment process does not involve the initial move into the warehouse/stock. That is part of the standard maintenance processes.
    The Refurbishment takes defective item from the warehouse (goods issue), repairs them, and returns the, back to stock (goods receipt). Usually these items are valuated stock.

  • Material movement types

    dear gurus,
    want to know the relation of material movement types with posting

    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/en/4d/2ba31643ad11d189410000e829fbbd/frameset.htm
    The Movement Type Concept
    What Is a Movement Type?
    When you enter a goods movement in the system, you must enter a movement type to differentiate between the various goods movements. A movement type is a three-digit identification key for a goods movement. The following table contains examples of movement types.
    Goods Movements and Movement Types
    Goods movement                                                          Movement type
    Goods receipt for a purchase order                                101
    Goods issue for a cost center                                          201
    Release from quality inspection stock                              321
    Control Functions of the Movement Type
    The movement type has important control functions in Inventory Management.
    For example, the movement type plays an important role in
    updating of quantity fields
    updating of stock and consumption accounts
    determining which fields are displayed during entry of a document in the system

  • Inventory Material Movement Report in R12.1.1

    Dear All,
    I am currently working in a implementation project. My client needs a Inventory Material Movement Report on Periodical Basis
    Report Should show : Item Name, Item Desc, Sub Inventory, UOM, Opening Stock of that period, Receipts for that Period, Adjustments and Closing Balance.
    Please suggest me how to go about this on the same. Please someone share the code if someone have any. What logic do i need to follow and where to pick the data.
    It is show stopper for us now as we do not have any standard report.
    Thanks,
    Addy

    Hi Aditya,
    You can find all the information you need in mtl_material_transactions table. If you need code combination id too, you can make use of a standard view CST_INV_DISTRIBUTION_V. Other than these, you can join these tables for other info..
    MTL_SYSTEM_ITEMS_B MTL,GL_CODE_COMBINATIONS GCC.
    In MMT, use qty <, > 0 for receipts and issues. use group by to get opening and closing balances.

  • Material ledger activity rate revaluation account determination modification

    Scenario:
    SAP ECC 617
    Material ledger activated with activity rate revaluation (i.e. cost center over/under absorption posts to ML and not to production orders)
    Standard SAP setup has PRV transaction key used to post both multi-level price differences to inventory and to capture the offset to the cost center clearing entries (GBB-AUI) causing the values to get comingled in the same account
    Question:
    For reporting purposes I would like to determine a unique account for the activity rate revaluation entries.  There is no relevant general modifier available for transaction key PRV. Is it possible and practical to modify table T169A for a specific value string / field name combination that represents this material ledger transaction?  If so, what is the combination?  Or will this cause major issues with ML processing?
    I'm trying to find a creative way to fill this gap without account substitution.

    Hi Eric,
    This is an interesting one.
    Modifying value string might be an option but in my opinion is quite a serious "brain surgery" on the system :-).
    You may want to try another option.
    In SPRO -> Controlling -> General Controlling -> Organization -> Maintain Versions
    for version 0, Controlling Area Settings, Settings for Each Fiscal Year in tab Price Calculation there is field Revaluation.
    One of the options there is 'Own business transaction'. With this option posting to sending Cost Centre resulting from actual activity price revaluation will be posted with different Business Transaction (although same secondary cost element as original activity allocation).
    In reports you can separate postings based on Business transaction.
    It definitely works for Activity Update 1 (revaluation of production orders).
    I'm not sure if it works for Activity Udate 2 (no revaluation of production orders).
    Please let us know the results of your investigation.
    Regards,
    Szymon
