Material Number on PR/PO

All -
I had a question regarding material numbers on PR/PO - It seems like material number is mandatory for some material groups and not for others. Can anyone tell me about that?
Appreciate your help.

Hi Experts,
Have you encountered the situation whereby in MC.9(S039), the data of a certain Material Number appears for period 06/2007 but not 07/2007
This material# has no stock & movements for 07/2007, but for another material# with the same conditions, there is no problem.
Thanks & Regards
Lawrence

Hello Experts,
i´m having the same issue at my system.
Does anyone know why for a certain material report MC.9 shows balance at some Store Location although it doesn´t have any movements, while for other Store Location it isn´t showed any line, not even with zero values.
I hope somebody can answer this issue.
Thank you very much in advance.

Hi,
This function module doesn't pass Material number while creating the inbound delivery. Instead you can use the function module GN_DELIVERY_CREATE along with NUMBER_GET_NEXT function module.
See line number 631 to 656 of include LBBP_SIC_40F02 (Called from Line no 18 of BBP_INB_DELIVERY_CREATE) for more details.
While using the function module BBP_INB_DELIVERY_CREATE, material number is not passed to the function module (GN_DELIVERY_CREATE) structure field XKOMDLGN-MATNR.

Material number is blank in FBL3N for doc type SA

Hi,
If posting is coming from SD or MM module, the material number is reflected in FBL3N for GL acct "Material price variance". But when the posting is coming from FI, the material field is blank.
But in another company code, when postings are from FI, the material field is correctly populated.
I have already checked and verified that BSEG-MATNR was defined as a special field. I have also ran RFPOSXEXTEND and BALVBUFDEL but the material field from FI posting is still blank.
The FI posting involves filling up the material or product number in the profitability segment amongst other fields and then system will do a derivation.
Can someone point me to the right direction on how to get the material field populated by an FI posting?
Thanks and regards,
Thess

Hi,
The material field should appear in FBL3N for all types of postings, provided it got populated. Can you please check, whether material field is getting populated in BSEG table for that document # ? If the material is not getting derived, then it won't appear in the report.

Madhu

Production Order without Material Number and linked to a PM Order...

Hi All,
Is it possible to create a Production Order without Material Number (because it is a "just one time" production), and link it to a PM Order (enterred by a sister Plant) in order to finally report the cost to that PM Order?
And if YES, how to do it???
Explanation of the problem (business scenario):
We have 2 Plants. Let say Plant "A" and Plant "B".
Plant B is producing spare parts for Plant A.
There are usual spare parts, which have a Material Number.
But there are also spare parts which will be produced only once, and which don't have a Material Number. (= because it is a very punctual production).
Plant A needs a punctual spare part.
It creates a PM Order for Plant B.
Plant B needs to create a Production Order for that spare part (without Material Number).
Then, when confirmed and delivered, the cost of that production needs to be reported (assigned) to the PM Order.
Thanks in advance for your help on the subject.
Regards,
Rudy.

Thank you for the information.
After some modifications on the Prod.Order Type and the creation of a Reference Operation Set, it seems to work.
Still have a cost problem, but on the way to be solved.
Thanks a lot,
Rudy.

REPORT WITH MATERIAL NUMBER

Hello Everyone,
I have successfully brought in data from multiple datasources into a multi provider. All 4 datasources have a common field and that is MATERIAL. The data in the multi provider is obviously not cleansed.
What I would like to do is merge all data that corresponds to Material A combined in the query. All data for Material B combined so on and so forth.
In simple words I want data by material number when i execute the query. So it will have to fetch all records for Material A and combine in one line or row. How can I do that?
Thank you much
Dave

Hi Dave,
Create a query on Multiprovider if you are sure that all the necessary data is retrieved into multiprovider and create a variable on Material if it is a characteristic. When you execute the query, Material variable values will be displayed and based on the selection of the material, you can have the necessary data. In the query, you need to take the order of the fields as mentioned below.
Rows:
--> Material
--> Field1
--> Field2...........
Columns:
--> KF1
--> KF2............
Hope this helps u...
Regards,
KK.

Report to find a material by a mfr part number and old material number

Hi,
Is there any standard report to find a material by a mfr part number and old material number ?
For the moment, we are using MM03 to search articles by these selection criterion.
Thanks,
Julien Girard

Hi
As there is no stsndard report use the SQVI to find out the details, It is very simple , please follwo the below steps.
Use Txn SQVI, enter the Quick view field say- ZMNFR and click the create button, Enter the title in the next screen i.e Report name- Say - Manufacturer's Part No. Details, in the same screen you need to enter MARA for the data from table/database view, please leave the 1. data source as Table only and the radio button as Basis mode only. Click the tick mark , you will go to the next screen,
You will notice Quick viewer Intial screen
Open the node general material data
Select the Buttons besides the fields MARA-MATNR for material number, MARA-MFRPN for manufacturers part number, and MARA-BISMT for old material number. You can include any other field if you wish to have in your output. You will notice two check boxes against each field, one is for input screen field and the other is for outputf field. But currently you do not bother about and select both the check boxes or any other field you wish to have as input and output as well. Once selected all the fields afer clicking the check boxes save the total arrangement. and then in the same screen use the execute button or use F8 to find out your report input screen.
Now enter the Material number for which you wish to know other two details in the report and execute again you will find the report output.
Please ensure that you are maintaining both the details in material master basic data1 and purchasing view if you wish to get out output
Best regards

Stock analysis based on vendor material number

Hi
Is there any report which can show the total stock of a material with split on vendor material number (I am entering different vendor material numbers upon goods receipt) or any query I can write to get the above result?
The requirement is as follows: I will order an item with name say X and vendor supplies the item with different name say Y. So I am maintaining vendor specific name in vendor material number. Now I want to see the stock X with what quantity of it is Y.
Thanks

Dear Praveen
You could use the following;
Input and Output Conversion of Material Numbers
Use
Like every other part in the SAP system, an inventory-managed manufacturer part has an SAP-specific material number that uniquely identifies it. If this material number is uncommon or unknown to the vendor, you should consider the following (especially in the purchasing process):
·        You can enter a part with its Manufacturer Part Number (MPN) and its External Manufacturer, and not just with its material number. This is possible because of the input conversion of material numbers.
·        The system displays this part with its Manufacturer Part Number and the External Manufacturer in lists and screens. This is possible because of the output conversion of material numbers.
You have to increase the maximum field length for input and output values in the Output Length for Material Numbers field to enter and display the MPN and the manufacturer code in one field
Prerequisites
You have made the following settings in Customizing:
·        You have activated the conversion exit for material numbers.
·        You have maintained a delimiter. The delimiter separates the MPN and the external manufacturer when they are entered or displayed in one field.
·        You have specified a maximum output length for material numbers. This means that the fields for the long material number are scrollable, and the output columns for lists are wider.
You configure and activate the conversion exit for material numbers in Customizing by choosing Logistics - General ® Interchangeability of Parts ® Set Up Conversion Exit for Material Numbers.
Features
Input Conversion
If you have activated the conversion exit, you can enter the relevant MPN instead of the material number in the relevant input fields.
If the MPN is not unique, you enter the external manufacturer in the same field, separating the MPN and the external manufacturer by the delimiter defined in Customizing.
You have defined: as the delimiter.
Enter 45L700W:36121 (Manufacturer Part Number, Delimiter,and External Manufacturer) for the part, instead of material number 1011. If the MPN is unique, you only have to enter 45L700W (the Manufacturer Part Number).
You can now scroll the input field for the material number. This allows you to enter the maximum output length for material numbers, which has also been defined in Customizing.
Input conversion gives you an alternate and additional input option. You can still enter the ERP material number to identify a part.
The system determines the correct material number from your input, and passes it to the program logic. The system handles your input as follows:
·        If your entry contains the delimiter, the system splits the entry at the delimiter, interprets both parts of the entry as the Manufacturer Part Number and the External Manufacturer respectively, and searches for a part corresponding to these entries
·        If your entry does not contain a delimiter, the system interprets your entry as an (ERP) material number, and searches for the corresponding part in the material master. If this is unsuccessful, the system interprets your entry as an MPN, and searches for the corresponding part.
If the system cannot determine a part clearly, or the search is unsuccessful, it issues an error message.
Value Range for MPN on the Selection Screen
The system converts the MPN into a material number internally.
To ensure that the system correctly interprets the value range for an MPN that is entered as selection criteria, when the conversion exit is activated, the system provides both the material number and the MPN as selection criteria in the selection screen.
Output Conversion
If the conversion exit is activated, the output conversion ensures that the system displays the MPN and the external manufacturer on screens and in lists, separated by the delimiter in the field or column that usually displays the ERP material number.
If the Output Length for Material Numbers field in Customizing is not long enough to display both the MPN and the external manufacturer, the system displays the MPN, if it is unique.
If the MPN is not unique or the output length too short, the system displays the ERP material number.
The system displays parts with the output length defined in Customizing. In addition:
·        You can scroll the output field for the material number on screens.
·        The system adjusts the layout of lists to the output length.
List Formatting
If you use the inventory-managed MPN, you have to change the list formatting as follows:
·        Variable length of the material number in reports
In cases of the automatic conversion of the material number into an MPN and external manufacturer, the system takes account of the Output Length for Material Numbers field (defined in Customizing) when it structures the lists for selected reports. This ensures that columns are aligned, line breaks are correct, and the lists can be read.
·        Adding a field for the external manufacturer
The external manufacturer should also be displayed in lists because the MPN, into which the material number is automatically converted, is not always unique.
In Customizing, you have defined whether the external manufacturer should be displayed with the MPN. The system adds the field for the external manufacturer immediately after the field for the MPN in lists and on the screen.
You can display the external manufacturer with or without an active conversion exit.
·        Sorting by MPN, not by material number
You can sort some lists by material number.
You can sort by MPN in cases where the MPN is displayed instead of the material number.
with kind regards
Sundar

How to set a default value in MARA field 'Old material number'

Hello everyone,
I have a requirement to fill automatically the field MARA-BISMT (Old material number), when creating a new material (using for example MM01). What is the best way to do it?
My idea is to have somewhere a field exit (?) with some ABAP lines to concatenate the material type code with part of the material number, and show the field already filled when in 'Basic data 1' screen.
Does anyone have an idea? Or an example in the system with a similar functionality already implemented?
Thanks
Davide

Use material number with profile serial number in SRM

Hello,
I created a material number in the back-end and I transfered it to the
SRM.
After creating and approving the PO with that material number, I tried to
create a confirmation in the SRM and I got the error message:
"Maintain serial numbers for total quantity".
I do not have an a suitable field in the SRM.
Please advice.

check it up in ECC.
even if you do MIGO, you will get same erro message.
Note 1278707 - BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE: Message M7 175 during goods receipt
You are using BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE to perform a goods receipt posting for a subcontracting purchase order where the materials being received are serial number managed. The BAPI incorrectly returns the error message M7 175 (Maintain serial numbers for total quantity) even though the correct number of serial numbers are being passed over in the parameter table GOODSMVT_SERIALNUMBER. This error also occurs when the serial numbers should be automatically created during the goods receipt posting (controlled by the field SERIALNO_AUTO_NUMBERASSIGNMENT in the table GOODSMVT_ITEM).
Note 1337306 - Goods receipt for stock transport order with serial numbers
In transaction MIGO, you post a goods receipt for stock transport orders for a material with serial number requirement and the system issues error message M7 175: "Maintain serial numbers for total quantity". On the "Serial Numbers" tab page, all you are told is that the item is not relevant for serial numbers. You are therefore unable to maintain serial numbers, even though there is a serial number requirement for this transaction/event. You can post the goods receipt in transaction MB01.

To fill in the material number with item category u201CBu201D for Framework Order.

The use of framework orders (also referred to as blanket purchase orders) enables you to procure a variety of materials or services from a vendor up to a predefined maximum value (the value limit).
Instead of a specific delivery date, you specify a validity period for the order.
Goods receipts or the entry and acceptance of services performed are not necessary in the case of a framework PO and limit items.
The invoices are posted directly with reference to the purchase order, provided that the specified value limit is not exceeded. When the value limit of the PO is reached, or the validity period is exceeded, the system issues a warning message. It is possible to book the invoices, but these are blocked for payment.
During the phase of service performance, the cumulative u201Cactual" values (for the services actually performed) are continually updated in the underlying purchase. This enables you to monitor the progress of a procurement project on an ongoing basis. By comparing the "actual" value with the total value, you can always obtain an overview of the degree to which a budget for unplanned services or materials has been exhausted (i.e. see whether predefined limits have been reached or nearly reached).
So with the Framework Order type (FO) and item category u201CBu201D you get the error that it is not allowed to fill in the material number with item category u201CBu201D.
Please suggest me the possible solution to fill in the material number with item category u201CBu201D for Framework Order.
Best Regards,
Harisha

The Framework order type is specialy defined for lesser value procurements (ex: stationeries, cleaning services ....) which are all not worthy to create Material Master at all.
If you are very sure to fill the Material number, then proceed with some other document type.
In what circumstances you want to put material number in FO order?
