Material procurement as Project stock

Hi,
I have assigned a Non Stock Material (N) to WBS activity ---> converted the PR (created for network) to PO --> now i want to do GR for this PO and update the material recieved as Project stock on the correspondign WBS.
I am using movement type 501Q when doing GR, and i expect that the corresponding WBS should automatically be populated or i should be able to add the WBS manually? but WBS field in MIGO screen when doing GR is greyed out?
Any pointers to address this will be helpful?
Thank you.
Regards,
Jatinder

Hi,
>>>>>>
But now for one project i dont want to take material from store, but want the material to be supplied by supplier directly at project site, also i dont want to show the material supplied as directly consumed but want to show it first as WBS stock and then do GI to show consumption? how can we achieve this??
<<<<<<<
If you are intended to ship directly to site, then change procurement scenario as Drop shipment. In that case material never see the warehouse, what I mean no GR. Hope this make sense.
for other requirement, discuss with your WM guys who should have fictious GR for that material. In that case you have to use material account assignment as Q (project stock). the only thing is you are not physically bringing material into warehouse but still you have GR for that material.
Why you want to follow suck kind of routing, directly use drop ship procurement scenario which makes your life easier without any risk. By doing this you encouraging some kind of malpractices in system where users may misuse.
Any have its your call and take decision accordingly.

Moving avergae price updation in material master for project stock

Dear All,
My query is pertaining to updation of MAP( moving average price) for project specific procurement ( as project stock) for valuated project stock.
As definelty the cost of procurement gets consumed by project .but i want to know does the project stock procurement still updates the moving avergae price or not.
Ex:-Suppose MAP in material master is 10 USD ( with qty 1)and i procure the same material ( qty 1)for project with account assignment Q for 9 USD . now will the MAP in material master becomes 9.5 USD or it remains 10 usd.?
Please reply urgently
Regards
Amit

Hi Amit,
If your Project Stock is valuated, then, the valuation data for it is stored in a different table: QBEW.
The normal, anonymus warehouse stock (the unrestricted use stock which is not assigned to any project or to any sales order) has its valuation data stored in MBEW.
The "Accounting 1" view in the Material Master MM03 ONLY displays the data of MBEW.
In the material master you will never see the valuation data of the valuated project stock (table QBEW) or the valuated sales order stock (valuation indicator "M" - table EBEW).
The valuation data for the tables QBEW and EBEW can be seen in SE16 or in the transaction MBBS.
Also note that these valuated special stocks are managed independently of the normal stock. If, for example, you change the Moving Average Price of your normal stock in MBEW, this will not have any influence on your project stock, as the data is under a totally diferent table QBEW.
I hope this helps you,
Esther.

Moving Average Price for Sales stock and Project stock of a material

Hiya Gurus,
                 I am developing a report to display inventory details. My requirement is that I have to display the Moving average price of a material for all Valuation type. I also need to display the Moving average price if a material has got Project stock or Sales stock.
                 In MBEW table I can get the Valuation type and its Moving average price, but how can I find the moving average price for the same material if it has got Sales stock and project stock. Please let me know the table and field where I could get the relevant data.
                Kindly help me on this, it would be deeply appreciated.
Cheers,
ZIa

QBEW                             Project Stock Valuation

Slow Moving Project Stock

Hi,
My problem is to find out slow moving project stocks. Report MC46 shows only slow moving normal stocks and project stock is not included in this.
Thanks

Hi Gaurav Shah,
If you are procuring for project stock means, the material is for direct consumption.I think its not logical to see it in terms of "slow moving stock" category.
Hope I am right and it will be useful and give you some insights.

Moving Average Price does not get updated for Project Stock

Hello Experts
We have an Engineer-to-Order implementation for our client. Accordingly procurement is done per project. Each Project issues its PRs which are then converted to POs and recieved into Project Stock.
While assigning the material to the Network activity in Project (using material component) the system uses the price found in the material master (MAP or STD) as a planned cost appended to the project.
Problem:
while procuring the material, when we receive it into Project Stock (Mvt 101 Q + ) the Moving Average Price in the material master does not get updated. this way all newly created material master will never have a moving average price, thus whenever we try to assign them to the project we receive an error message (Cost for Material Component ###Mat.Num### cannot be determined.
Question:
How can I get the system to update moving average price (for all types of stock) based on procurement for project stock.???
Your help is kindly appreciated.

I'm sorry for the confusion
Case:
The T-code is CJ20N Project Builder in PS module
we are assigning material components to network activities under a certain WBS element in the project.
there is a function in the Project Builder to calculate the cost of a network. it uses the costing variant assigned to the network which is PS02 (We get the error here)
The costing variant has a valuation variant which lists a series of strategies to get the material price. Planned 1 if not then STD if not then MAP. (you can choose between many options via a drop down menu) you can choose 5 consequent options.
The MAP that the valuation variant is coded to get is the Plant Stock MAP -- Or the Project Stock MAP but only Per WBS element.
The MAP that the Actual postings update is the Project Stock MAP only Per WBS element.
This means that if you use a material component to purchase material 123 Acc.As. Q for WBS X for 10 $ then you try to assign a new material component with the same material 123 to WBS Y, the system will not get a MAP. because it's stored in QBEW per WBS element.
This way the system will never get the MAP right.
However, we don't always use project stock to procure for projects, for some requirements we can assign and use plant stock as well for Projects. that way we need the MAP from plant stock.
In the Valuation Variant you can use a User Exit Strategy. The user exit's name is COPCP005
My Suggestion is:
Use the User Exit COPCP005 to calculate the { Total value / the total quantity (MAP) from QBEW + Total value / total quantity (MAP) from MBEW } / 2
which is the MAP for both plant and project stock together, since that we are going to use both.
Q: Is this correct !?

Split valuation with batch management and project stock

Dear Gurus,
I need to combine two following requirements:
1. split valuation with batch management (valuation type = batch number)
2. project stock
These two functionalities work fine separately but not together.
I receipt PO for material with spiit valuation on a batch level into a project stock. Posting is OK and material document (MSEG table) seems to be OK (batch number, valuation type and project stock are in this table). The problem appears when I want to display material in this valuation type (MM03) or batch (MSC3n). They don't exist!!! Short investigation showed that during goods receipt table MBEW (valuated stock) was not updated with this valuation type.
But If PO is receipt into normal stock first and then posted into project stock everything is OK.
Have you had or heart about such issue? I would appreciate any sugestion.
Thsnks in advance.
Marcin Bernat

Hi,
As you already know ,u are using project stock and doing goods receipt against project, stock table QBEW will be updated and not MBEW. MBEW only updates in case of plant stock valuation. If u receive any goods against project stock it does not contribute to plant stock. Irrespective whether your material is managed in split valuation or not, If it is received against project stock it only updates QBEW. There is no need to update MBEW, if u r using split valuation in project. QBEW also have valuation type as another level like MBEW. If u want to see material price for project stock, it can be seen in QBEW -valuation type and not in mm03.
As u r receiving goods against project stock this is d only reason QBEW is updated and not MBEW.
QBEW will store all information like MBEW for batch number, valuation type and project stock assignment.
Hope it answers your question.
Deepak.

Transfer material from Valuated project non valuated project

Hi Experts,
While i am trying to transfer material from Valuated project stock to Non valuated project with T.Code MB1B movement type 415 'Q', I am getting following error.
WBS element has different inventory valuation
Message no. CN769
Diagnosis
The project definition for WBS element only allows the following stock control:
No project stock
No project stock with defined valuation M
' ' = non-valuated project stock
'M' = valuated project stock
System Response
Account assignment not possible.
Procedure
Change the settings for the project stock in the project definition (Control tab) or use a suitable WBS element.
Kindly suggest me how to trafer material from Non valued project stock to valuated project stock.
Regards

Actually, you sohuld not be transferring stock to non-vlauated proejct directly. In case of non-valuated project, stock is never valuated while in case of valuated project it is valuated. So there is basic difference in valuation method. This will create inconistency if you attempt ot transfer it directly.
You should rather transfer this stock to general stock and then transfer to non-valuated project stock.

Mahendra

Procurement for Projects

Dear all
Could explain how the material procurement for projects happen? What's the difference between this and normal procurement?

HI
Its the same Only u wil have to use the Item category' P' for projects.which impies that the procurement is done against the said Projects.
Also this can be mapped with PS module where a central Project will be created. The project will be broken down in to no of Work break dowmn structures which will be assigned a cost element.
The total expenditure on each WBS will be determined using the WBS element.
The Item category of P as Account assignment category of P have to be used for the PO's. The corresponding WBS element and the G/L account has also to be entered at the item level.
Hope this helps.

Project material Procurement

Hi,
Ours is a construction company.
We have different sites were actual activies are taking place.
since Sites keep varying once project is completed, we can not create plants site wise in SAP.
so all requirements comes from Projcet systems Module against which we procure material ( procurment against WBS)
sometimes we ask vendors to directly send materials to Sites or we may ask him to send material first to our central Store and then we transfer it to project sites as per requirement.
1) when we have to receive material at our store , we use plant AB01 in PO which is our physical plant and we receive material against Project WBS.
2) When vendor has to supply directly to site, we use plant AA01 in PO ( this is a virtual Plant not mapped to any project location) .we receive material in this plant and then issue to project from this plant.
This allows us to segregate us whether material is lying in our store or at project site. ( is material is shown in AB01 against WBS, then it is in our store and if shown in plant AA01 then its actual project site).
but this is causing us duplication of activities since if we have to trandsfer material from store to project site then we have to do plant to plant transfer first(AB01--> AA01) and then issue to actual project from AA01.
Is there any way we can remove this virtual plant and we can still have visibility of stock at project sites.
Thanks
Manoj

If you manage stock for WBS, you always receive it in a storage location.
Is it possible that when you receive it the projects plant WBS it is not manged in stock, but rather consumed immediately? If so, the you can get rid of the projects plant, and instead use only your "real" plant, with "real' storage location.
Then have another permanent storage location for all projects (instead of the virtual plant), and use it in combination with WBS stock to have visibility on which site the stock is. Only limitation is that you have only one site related to one WBS.

Project Stock Procurement and directly supplied at Site

Hi,
I am creating a project and there are few materials that though exist as stock item in the company/plant, but this is to be specially procured for this Project and also delivered directly at site.
If i assign these materials as Non stock item on Actiity, system does not accept material with Material Number and i get an error "Material 0003-057A0X is incompatible with item category".
I want to undestand how do we treat such a material to be directly procured for project.
Thanks in advance.

Cost of material charged to project but qty remains in stock

Dear Gurus,
I have a scenario, we have project systems PS. We have valuated projects and valuated project stock. Once project is over and if we have material left over, then my client want to charge the cost of the material to the project but he want to keep the stock at zero value in inventory, and issues it next time on zero value.
I have tried to transfer material using 415 Q, but system does not allow to transfer materaial from valuated project to non-valuated project.
kindly suggest any solution.

Dear,
my client wants to charge the leftover material cost to project but want to keep the qty in stock, so this is why we have a nonvalauted project. otherwise my client projects are valuated. i have not find any solution to charge the cost of material to project from project stock and keep the stock in inventory on zero value. and next time when this leftover is issued it will be issued on zero value.
hope u have a solution.
