Material price for semi finished.

Dear All,
What is the suggesatable price control for semi finished goods. i.e., either moving ave price or standard price.
Regards,
Venkat.

Dear Venkat Ramana,
SAP recommends: 
Price control V for Raw materials and Trading goods;
S for Semi-finished products and Finished products.
You are required to valuate Semi-finished and Finished products with actual prices that correspond to the costs of the actual production, SAP recommends you use the function of the material ledger for this. Here, a periodic actual price is created that is calculated on a much more reliable basis than the moving average price. A so-called price limiter quantity is used. In addition, it is possible as of Release 4.5 to even take into account the variances of the actual prices of the Raw materials in the valuation of the Semi-finished and Finished products that are manufactured from it.
With regards,
B.Ravindranath

Moving average price for semi finished products

Hi
Could anyone light on this issue,
Our client maintain moving average price for the semi finished material, need clarification on below points
1) What is the advantages and disadvantages due moving average price,
2) Which price in the material master after the production order settlement,
3) Is there any impact of this on WIP calcaultions
Thanks in advance
Mohan M

Hi
there are no advantages of it, ONLY Dis Advantages!!!
That will ruin your inventory valuation forever.. Consider the eg below if your price control is V
1. Your moving price in mat master is 100 USD
2. You Mfr on Jan 1 @ Actual cost = 110 in Prod order and Qty = 1.
Upon GR, GR will happen @ 100 and at period end if Qty is lying in stock, 10 variance will also be inventorized
BUT, now consider this
1. 1. Your moving price in mat master is 100 USD
2. You Mfr on Jan 1 @ Actual cost = 110 in Prod order and Qty = 1.
Upon GR, GR will happen @ 100 and variance lying is 10 in prod order
3. You Mfr on Jan 10 @ Actual cost = 110 in Prod order and Qty = 1.
Upon GR, GR will happen @ 100 and variance lying is 10 in prod order
4. On jan 15, you consume Qty 1 and qty lying in stock is 1
5. In period end, when you do settlement, following will happen
a. For prod order 1: Qty Mfd 1 and Qty lying in stock 1 - Result: variance 10 will be inventorized.
Mvg Avg price will shoot upto 110
b. For prod order 2: Qty Mfd 1 and Qty lying in stock 1 - Result: variance 10 will be inventorized.
Mvg Avg price (MAP) will shoot upto 120
System wont check whether the qty lying in stock pertains to prod order 1 or 2... It will simply check if the Qty of prod order matches with qty lying in stock. hence, it will keep on inventorizing variance in this case.... and your MAP will touch the sky

Production for semi finished material

Dear gurus,
i had a scenario where semi finished material is combination of different batches,for production of semi finished material i had 6 operations in which up to 3rd operation i have 3 production lines in which each batch in the line is identified by different batch no and in 4th operation all batches are mixed and if new batch is coming into 4th operation the material which is already in 4th operation enters 5th&6th operation continously for semi finished material and enters remaining operations for finished material production .semifinished material is not stored in any place it is continously flow from 6th operation which is semi finished material to another operation which is used for producing finished material.
suppose for week i require 100 m3 of finished material , and for each batch i can produce 2 m3 in each production line ,i require 50 batches for week .the production is continous .
can i follow by creating 50 production orders each of different batch ,by creating semi finished material in 4th operation , can any one please suggest .
Thanks

Hi Jitendra,
Checking Control (OPJJ) has no relation with MRP.It is useful in the case of Plan and Production / Process Order only to find out Missing part.
Now come to MRP again.
You have a choice of only 3 type of stocks to include or exclude them during MRP run while rest of the things like (PO,PR,Reservation etc are consider by default)
Go to OPPQ and after selecting Plant go to Available Stock.You will find that options,
- Stock in Transfer
- Block Stock
- Restricted Stock.
And one more thing Reservation is not a available stock but its one kind requirement and if there is no stock then system will activate the Planning file entry and during next MRP run it will generate Planning proposal also.

Stop netting for semi finished materials

Hi all,
   We are still using 46C. We have finished goods that are configurable and we use SUPERBOMs to pick the component that go along with the finished goods. I have a requirement where I have to stop the netting process for some semi finished materials in a certain storage location. We currently use strategy group '40' for semi finished.
I tried to use storage location MRP indicatior (MRP 4 view, sloc indicator). By doing so MRP stopped the netting which is what I wanted but it also stopped creating any new planned orders.
I want planned orders to be created but MRP should not read the stock. For example if the requirement is of 10 pcs and I have lets say 6 in stock, I still need planned order of 10.
I am more leaning toward writing a Z program to wipe out the inventory every night before the MRP run but was curious to see if there is any strategy group that I can use on the components to satisfy my needs.
Thanks a lot for your help.
Regards
Srikant

Hi Srikant
    For this situation you can go for a User Exit! while MRP run
    1. first create a user defined field in the material master for Unrestricted stock exclusion.
   2, create the User exit which should be used while plant level MRP run.
    the user exit should select materials for exclusion of SLOC stock.
for those materials you can use the following logic in the user Exit
if the Unres stock is availbale then then user exit should dynamically create a safety stock value so that MRP will neglect the Unrestricted stock and create the Proc Proposal for full quantity.
hope this helps

Authorisation for Semi Finish Product Only....

Hi Experts,
I want to give authorisation for MM01 transaction and for only material type 'Semi Finish'. How to give only for Semi Finish to create?
For display I want to give full authorisation ?

1. Use transaction MMB1 which is specially designed for creating semi-finished products. However I don't know of this really blocks the road for creating materials of another type.
2. If you really want to authorize on Material Type you need to set an authorization group on the material type. In SPRO: Logistics - General --> Material Master --> Basic Settings --> Material Types --> Define Attributes of Material Types. Select Material Type HALB and type in a ctext of your choice in the Authorization Group field (tip: just use the name of the Material Type: HALB).
Restrict on Authorization object M_MATE_MAR as follows:
M_MATE_MAR
Activity                    01, 02
Authorization Group HALB
M_MATE_MAR
Activity                    03
Authorization Group 0-HALA, HALC-Z
Good luck!
Points are always appreciated!
Kind regards,

Serial Number Error in YMFBF confirmation for semi-finished material.

Dear Experts,
We are having repetitive manufacturing scenario,while confirming the Semi-finished material ( X) in YMFBF Screen, after POST with Correction and Saving the Confirmation. Error Applied....
"Only the 0 serial numbers entered instead of 1.
Message no. IO304
Diagnosis
There is a serial number obligation, so the number of serial numbers must equal the number of serial numbers in the material document.
You can post the operation only if you entered the correct number of serial numbers previously.
System Response
Depending on the context in which the error arises, the system continues processing, or the required function cannot be performed.
Procedure
You have the following options, for example:
Check that the serial numbers are entered fully.
If necessary, display an error log.

STO for semi finished product along with returnable package

Dear Experts,
I am transferring semi finished product along with returnable package from Manufacturing to depot, for that i am creating purchase order (two line items in po, one is semi finish and other is returnable package) and creating delivery through VL10B.
system creates delivery, showing the item category NLN for both line items i..e semi finished and returnable package and billing(vf01) is coming for both item.
my requirement is billing to be only semi finished, returnable package should be update only qty billing should not coming for returnable package
for that which item category have to maintain and where it maintain for returnable package and how it flows from mm to SD?
Regards
sai krishna

The packagings material master record should use the material type VERP for packaging and the item category group LEIH. The item category group LEIH is the SAP standard for returnable packaging.
TAL (the item category for returnable packaging) in the shipping unit
header, then when you create the delivery, SAP will also create an item TAL for that shipping material in the delivery. When you goods issue the delivery, SAP will record that this shipping material has been issued to the customer and must be returned. Note that you only have to price the returnable packaging in the returnable packaging issue order document. It does not need to
be priced in the sales order and cannot be in this method.
Check if this all ok, rest please note returnable packaging material behaves in same way as packing material

Valuated Sales Order stock for Semi-Finished Products

Dear Gurus,
One of my client faced the issue that the semi-finished products is valuated-sales order. We are in Mill Industries, downstream (steel processing). The situation is:
1. We use configuration material for both finished and semi-finished products. Both are valuated at standard costs with valuated sales order stock.
2. Once the sales order is created, the cost estimates are created for both Finished, and semi-finished products.
3. The production orders is created for the semi-finished products. During production, several semi-fg and fg can be manufactured at the same time. We are using the co-products feature to cover that.
4. During the goods receipt of semi-finished products, instead of using the standard costs in sales order cost estimate, it use the planned costs in production orders which against our design.
I tried to use the user exit COPC002 and influence the standard costs. But it seems that the routine is not called for semi-fg at all. Anyone has any light on this?
Regards,

Hi
I think you are talking about Special Stock "E"...ie) Sale Order Stock...
If my understanding is correct then,
If you go and see the Table T156....For the
Movement Type: 101,
Special stock Indicator : E,
Qty. Updation Checked,
Val. Updation Checked,
Movement Indicator : Against PO,
Consumption Indicator: Sales Order Stock.....combination....the transaction Event Key....GBB only has been Assigned....these settings you cannot change...
This linkage you can view in OLMW-----> Account Determination -
> Acc. Determination W/O Wizard -
>Account Grouping....also
Reward if useful

Automatic creation of purchase requisition for semi-finished product HALB

Hi Gurus,
We want the MRP to generate automatically a purchase requisition, instead of a planned order, for a semi-finished product. Of course, we still want to be able to convert it to a planned order.
thanks
Jean-Francois Millaire

Hi Jean-Francois Millaire,
You want a purchase requisition after MRP run & you should also able to convert that purchase requisition to planned order,If i understood correctly, hope this is your requirement
First one is possible -in MD01/MD02 maintain create purchase requisition as "1"
Second is not possible,its not possibel to conver a PR(purchase requisition to Planned order where as vice versa is possible
confirm my understanding,pls revert if you differ

Break up of raw material cost for released finished materials

Hi All,
I have searched various threads before posting this question.
Is there any standard report available to view the breakup of raw material cost for a release finished material.
I have cost component split report but it shows everything in raw materials.... is there any report to show a break up of this raw materials cost.
If there is no standard report can you please how I should develop a customized report.
Thanks,
Srini

Dear Srinivas,
You will get the cost breakup in the following report:
CK84_99 - Itemization
CK86_99 - Costed Multilevel BOM
CK80_99 - Cost Components
You will get the same information in CK13N
From the standard SAP, no report will show breakup for all the materials in single report at a time.
We have developed the report through ABAP functionality

Reg. sizewise material price for AFS material

Dear Experts
In AFS material how to give size wise material price. Because AFS has size and color in Grid.
Thanks in advance
Rajakumar.K

Dear Rajkumar,
You need to do the following.
Please check the Pricing indicator of that material in the material master - under AFS sales Data view.
If you want to carry out Grid level prizing - the pricing indicator should be 01.
And also ensure the following..
In SPRO - IMG - SD - Basic Functions - Pricing - Pricing control - Define AFS specific condition types.
Check the check box - Dim.Condition(for Grid level pricing) - against your condition type - which will make the condition type to be treated as AFS-specific.
The same answer is available in the forum.. Refer the link - answer gn by me..
Re: AFS - SCHDULE LINE WISE PRICE
Thanks!

Auto GR/IR for Semi Finished goods in Work in Progress stage.

Dear All,
What are account postings going to happen while issuing semi finished goods from from one process to other process by using Auto GR/IR.
Regards,
Venkat.

Dear sapper2000,
Work in progress:If my understanding is correct,then any unfinished product can be said as work in progress.
Work in process or progress are partially completed goods, parts, or subassemblies that are no longer part of the raw
materials inventory and not yet part of the finished products inventory.Check this link to explore more on this topic,
