Material release

Hi all,
some cost estimates are marked and are in status 'Vo'. These materials when released for current period thr CK24 shows error 'Period closing has not taken place yet' . But when released for previous period gived error ' Release to Late' .?
How can these materials be released ?
points will be rewarded for helpful answers

Is your client also using Material Ledger or Transfer Prices? If this is the case, the standard costs from the cost estimate have to be in synch with the preliminary valuation for actual costing. Period closing would be the generation of closing entries in the material ledger.v
If this is not the case, then check whether the MM tables (accounting view of the material master are on the period for which you are trying to release).

  • Material placed at Port & release from custom

    Hi All,
    We have received some material from the import vendor. The material is presently on the port. We have hired some space on the port itself which we could consider as our external warehouse wherein the material would be loaded. Now as when this material is required we will pay them the custom charges & get that material released. How can we cater such situation in our sap wherein we can have the stock status of that external warehouse.
    Thanks

    Import Order
    Re: High sea procurement ????
    CHECk following process(not tested )
    Tracking at port
    think u are looking for following
    So at the time of purchase order creation - ME21N system take by default tracking import in purchase order -> Conformation tab -> confirmation control -> Tracking Import.
    You can maintain below mention status in Tracking Import,
    Acknowledge by Vendor
    Dispatched by Vendor
    Arrived at Port
    Clearance at Port
    Stocked at Port
    Dispatch. to Factory
    After maintain this you can map all process of import purchase.
    Exa: - If you purchase material from import market and you prepaid import purchase order - ME21N and maintain tracking import in purchase order.
    Then maintain vendor acknowledge when vendor receive your purchase order.
    You can maintain dispatch detail by vendor at the time of vendor dispatch etc.
    Due to this you can find out actual status of import purchase.
    If in your company tracking import is not activated.
    So you can config it with below path.
    SPRO - Materials Management - Purchasing - Purchase Order - Confirmations - Define External Confirmation Categories.
    Here you can define status of tracking import like
    Acknowledge by Vendor
    Dispatched by Vendor
    Arrived at Port
    Clearance at Port
    Stocked at Port
    Dispatch. to Factory.
    SPRO - Materials Management - Purchasing - Purchase Order - Confirmations - Define Internal Confirmation Categoriess.
    Here active Order Acknowledgment - Z1 - Acknowledge by Vendor.
    Then
    SPRO - Materials Management - Purchasing - Purchase Order - Confirmations - Set Up Confirmation Control.
    Create Tracking Import - 0004 and assign confirmation sequence.
    Acknowledge by Vendor
    Dispatched by Vendor
    Arrived at Port
    Clearance at Port
    Stocked at Port
    Dispatch. to Factory
    At last record Dispatch to Factory, Here click on three indicators as per below mention detail,
    Iindicator for MRP - Relevant
    Indicator for GR - Relevant
    Indicator for GR - Assignmentt,
    Also assign Reference date. Then follow above mention process

  • Production order release Material Availability check

    Gurus,
    I have a production problem where the order can be released when the component for the order is in a restricted status.  This is not allowed by the batch search strategy.
    <u>Here's Problem Description:</u>
    When running on version 4.6C, I have a work order created. I release the work order successfully.  However there is a component that has an invalid material/batch according to the batch search strategy  The material availability check shows all components available. 
    However, I remove the batch and the batch can not be entered because it is not correct according to the batch search strategy.  I try and release and the material is added to the missing parts list.
    I change the component so that it can be used.  
    Put the batch number back in the order. 
    Save the order.  
    Change the component material/batch so that it is no longer valid.  
    The order will release and it shouldn't because the material/batch is not valid.
    <u>I've looked at the following transactions and master data:</u>
    OPL8 - Order Type - Dependent Parameters Overview for my plant and order type and the check batch box is checked.
    MM03 - Material Master MRP 2 view for the component to get the availability check
    OVZ2 - Availability check control
    OPJK - Order Control to get the checking rule for order release
    OPJJ - Availability check control details with availability check and the checking rule for order release - I did not see anything here that would influence the checking based on if the batch was entered or not.
    I did double check the batch search strategy for production order - COB3. Everything looks OK there.
    Does anyone have any other places to check? I must be missing something. I tried OSS - there weren't any notes that I could find.
    Thank you!
    Michelle

  • Procedure for return material from cost center

    Is there any other Movement Type to return material from Cost Center except Cancellation of Goods Issue ?

    Hi
    I think no option other than cancellation.
    You can try the the below scenario.
    Try to receive the material into GR blocked stock using 103 if you want to use the material release it by 105
    If you want to return then use movement type 124.
    Hope it helps

  • PO for material A while it produces B

    I have a special case for chemical industry...
    Production Order for  A material released and manufactured..But due to temperature or other situation,the PO produce material B instead of A...
      Do you have any suggestion for this kind of requirement?thanks..
    for example:
    Production Order for A:
    sometimes:it produces A
    sometimes:it produces B
    sometimes:it produces B & C

    Hi,Abhjit:
        Great..btw,with your QM suggestion,is it possible to assign the PO qty to two or three materials?
    After qulified,we may find that we get A,B ,C material in this PO...then do we have the option to assined the PO qty to these three material or we can only assing the PO qty to one material ?
         Regarding the batch solution,I am testing it..btw,can we design a special batch number  when we use auto generate batch number?
    for example:
    if the PO use work center A1,it will get a batch number 201110A1+00001
    if the PO use work center A2,it will get a batch number 201110A2+00001

  • Wrong release strategy assigned for a PM work order

    Hi
    Would like to seek your inputs on this.
    I have created a work order that has a settlement rule for a WBS element. I then created a material, RELEASE the work order then SAVE.
    I found out when going back inside the work order that the PR number generated was having a different release strategy, which is not appropriate for the approval.
    The only time when you can fix the issue is when you do a change on the work order or you have to create the order, save, then open again the work order then release it, and save.
    Have you had this same scenario? Can you please share any suggestion to address this issue?

    Hi Nazarene
    You may need to give us a background of how your organization have set up the release strategies. Some organization uses User Exits or Work Centers to set up release strategies. Either your work order is not picking the correct work Centre or if the work center is new you have to change the work order (IW32) and save it to pick the correct release strategy. 
    Alternatively you may need to check your workflow and the release limits.

  • Cor1 release prcess order

    Hi In trying to relaese the Process order i have this message:
    "no control data maintained for checking group 02 and checking rule ZI"
    i have checked in OPJJ, VOV6; OPJK,OVZ3 and all is maintained.
    am i missing something?
    thanks
    C.

    Dear
    Order release can be rejected for multiple availability checks 1) Non - Availability of Component stock 2) Non-Availability of PRT stock 3) Non-Availability of Capacity for the required resources. Check the transaction OPJK for the plant/ order type combination for business function "2".Go to Tcode OPJK For your order type check the settings What is the set up ?
    There in the material release option you have 3 options
    1.User decides on release if parts are missing
    2.Release permitted despite missing parts
    3.No release if parts are missing
    Keep -2 so that even if you have missing parts  it will be released
    Check and revert back

    (2). COOIS : Production Order Information System
    Under this transaction you need to Select in List option as Components and then go on Selection Tab.

  • Looking for APO training in Detroit area or online

    Hello.
    I am brand new to SAP, and hoping to learn APO and combine it with my profesisonal experience for a new career direction. I have included a brief summary of my experience and education at the end of this post.
    I am looking for a quality online /eLearning course for APO or a live course in the Detroit area to supplement my official SAP Education USA courses. I am much in need of SAP system access / lab setting for practicing etc.
    I have taken SAP01 through SAP Education USA, and scheduled for:
    SCM130     SAP R/3 Planning and Manufacturing Overview
    SCM200     Business Processes in Planning (SCM)
    Thank you,
    Brian
    Brief background:
    *Brand new to SAP, and not currently working with it
    *Experienced Supply Chain / manufacturing professional, exculsively in a Big Three automotive company (non-manager)
    *MBA, (Supply Chain Management concentration)
    *MS, Information Technology Management
    *Process experience in EDI, JIT, lean, planning, forecasting, scheduling, material releasing
    *Cross functional experience in logistics, purchasing, sales and marketing (demand and volume planning)
    *Excellent system / technology skills including experience with i2 Integrated Volume Planning (IVP) and Gateline Optimization Product (GOP)

    Hi Brian,
                   It is unfortunate but there are no real reliable people for teaching particularly APO. The best bet I would say is sap itself. It is worth every penny. I searched for people all over US and burnt my hands few places as well as they took money but did not teach even what they said.  APO itself if fairly new and very few people expertise in it.
    Read the material first before going to the certification. I am sure with your background, you should be able to grab the topics fairly easily.I think the only uphill task for you is to understand how SAP deal with the supply chain not understanding the topics of SCM.
    All the best.

  • Costing issue in process order

    Hi everybody,
    We are facing a problem now like... for a FG material we have changed the BOM, updated recipe but costing release was not done before that a process order had been created, material release carried out, process order confirmation made, GR made and the stock is there in FG location, In the cost analysis it shown Rs. 1.14 lakh as variance in FG consumption G/L.
    Now we reversed the stock from FG location, canceled the confirmation and changed the order qty to 1nos, to make the order dummy, but still cost analysis shows Rs. 1.14 lakh variance in FG consumption G/L
    Help us to resolve this.

    Hi,
    Now for the finished good  create material cost estimate with quantity structure
    Create standard cost estimate (marking and release to be carried out)
    now for the same old process order in the cost analysis u can see different value for  total target cost
    carry out confirmation  and u will get the total actual costs based on the activity types u have assigned
    -Variance=(difference between  total target cost and total actual cost)
    Variance related settings are done in consultation with Controlling people.
    Regards,
    Raj
