Material Replacement in ECC, Material Exchange in 46C

There is this material replacement icon in ECC6 Item details.
When it is pressed, it copied the whole line item and create another record which refer to the original line item as higher level item.
Nevertheless in 46C, Material Exchange button, there will be error: "Material XXX has no defined relationship with Material XXX"
Questions:
1) Is this change of standard behaviour from 46C to ECC6
2) how to define the relationship
    a) in 46C
    b) in ECC6
3) how to change the ECC6 setting so that it will behave like the 46C with error

X-plant material status=blank in BD1 view of Mat Master
plant-specific material status=blank in Purchasing view of Mat Master
MM06=No entries
Anyone with a clue?

  • IS-OIL: Exchange Third-party feedstock material for on-spec material

    Dear All,
    We are using SAP ERP ECC 6.0 + IS-Oil Downstream and we are trying to figure out how to record the following business flow in the system:
    1. A third-party partner send us feedstock/off-spec material to our oil depot for an exchange with on-spec material
    2. We give them on-spec material and charge fees based on the cost of processing the feedstock to on-spec material
    We are thinking to use Buy/Sell exchange type, but when we buy the material, then there will be tax charge and material will be GR as valuated material , which we are trying to avoid.
    Could we use Terminalling Agreement? GR the feedstock as non-valuated and then GI on-spec material (let's say Diesel) as non-valuated also (different material between GR and GI).. Or there is another way in SAP, regarding services to process third-party raw material to finished good material for Oil and Gas industry?
    We are really appreciate your help..
    Thank you,
    John Stallon

    Hi,
    Please search for the SAP building blocks for Third party sale with Shipping and Third party sale W/O shipping
    U can use FERT as material type only

  • Material Susbsitution in ECC Sales order ATP Check

    Hello all,
    I have used GATP and implemented Material susbtitutions.
    Now i am looking to achieve the following in ECC:
    1) During ATP check, ECC should first look for availability on the material in the sales order item
    2) If enough supply is not found(ATP Check fails), then system should substitute this material with another material; this substitution should happen only if the ATP check on the customer ordered material fails;
    Is ECC capable of doing this? I already tried Material determiantion and all reason codes; But material determination is directly replacing the customer ordered material with the substituted material even though there is enough stock on the sales order material.
    thanks

    In std, you can achieve this.
    In Material Determination, while Creating Condition records in VB11,
    maintain appropriate Substitution reason ( for eg:0001)
    enter Customer Ordered Material in "Material Entered" field & substitute Material in " Material" field.
    now Goto- Alternative materials or Press F2, Enter the another material to substitute Material if the first Substitute material doesnt have enough Stock , Tick the "MRP Indicator" & save the record.
    ( ref: Help doc of MRP Indicator,
    MRP indicator for alternative material in product selection
    Material requirements planning (MRP) indicator for automatic product selection.
    Use
    The MRP indicator displays the alternative material for which a subitem can be created in case a requirement can't be met. Material requirements planning uses the subitem to determine the requirement shortage.
    Note:
    Only one alternative material can be indicated as relevant for materials planning.)
    Test & revert.

  • Material Updates from ECC to CRM

    Hi Experts,
    We recently had application of Enhancement Pack4 on our ECC system. After the application EHP4 pack, we have started getting some material updates from ECC to CRM. And those updates are failing in CRM as we do not have any material set up in CRM. Due to these failed updates, lot of dumps are getting created in CRM. So can u please advice where/how in ECC i can restrict these updates to go to CRM. Any help in this will be highly appreciable.
    Regards
    Charitha

    Hello Charitha,
    In txnn:R3AC4 of CRM , check INACTIVE flag for object MATERIAL (and any other objects whose data is not required in CRM)
    for your RFC destination (ECC).
    This would prevent any automatic data flow for this object from R/3 to CRM.
    Hope this helps!

  • SRM PO vendor text not copied to PO material text in ECC Po

    Hi all,
    We are on SRM 5.0 Extended Classic.
    In ECS,is it std functionality that the PO vendor text from SRM PO is copied to PO material text in the ECC PO?If so,Do we need to do any configuration on the SRM side for this transfer?
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    In standard the Vendor text in SRM P.O would not get transfered to P.O Material text in ECC.
    I am not sure why do you want to transfer vendor text to material text.
    You need to use BADI BBP_ECS_PO_OUT_BADI to transfer this text to the required field in P.O.
    Please speak to your ABAPer and get the coding done to achieve your requirement.
    Let us know in case of any further clarifications.

  • Material Replication from ECC to SRM 7.0

    Hi Experts,
    I am working on Extended classic scenario SRM 7.0 with ECC 6.0, I have created the Material Group and Master data in ECC system. While doing replication via R3AS i am getting the following error msg( I have applied Note 720819 & 330401in ECC ).
    Errors:
    Hierarchy for material types does not exist
    (Before materials are imported from the ERP system, the material types from the  ERP system must exist as categories in CRM/EBP. When the Customizing object DNL_CUST_PROD1 is imported, the material types are imported automatically and created under the category MAT in the category hierarchy R3PRODSTYP (product subtype).)
    MATERIAL: Object will not be loaded
    Pl do the needful.
    Regards
    Mohan

    Hi  Pl check whether you follwed these steps are not.
    Hi find below for the product cat
    Steps to create the product category in SRM:
    1) Create MM material groups in ECC client. This will create a transport. Go to SRM Tcode R3AS and select the object u201CDNL_CUST_PROD1u201D from the list and run it. You can monitor the job using R3AM1 in SRM. This will bring the material group into SRM. This can be seen in TCode u201CCOMM_HIERARCHYu201D in SRM.
    2) Once it is done. Go to IMG in SRM and go to path SRM> SRM server> Cross app biz settings> Account aassigmnet> Define GL code for Acc *** Cat and Prod Cat. Maintain the GL code against this prod cat for all the account assignment codes. This is client specific setting and need to be done in every client by opening it. This GL code is given in the form in ticket.
    3) Do a test and check if the product category is available for procurement in SC.

  • Multiple Local Product Categories for One ECC Material Group

    Hello experts,
    I have a question regarding Product Categories. I am using an Extended Classic Scenario and so, I retrieve Material Groups from the backend. Nevertheless, in order to have a more accurate split than ECC Material Groups in SRM, I would like to create local Product Categories which point on the same ECC Material Group. Eg. : 
    ECC Material Group
      - SRM Product Category 1
      - SRM Product Category 2
    I saw that I can create this kind of structure in COMM_HIERARCHY and I updated it in the PPOMA_BBP (I set * for backend and for SRM).
    Nevertheless, when I create a SC, I can not find the local Product Categories I created?
    Do you know how I could process?
    Thanks for your help
    Patrick

    Hi Patrick,
    Looks like you got confused in understanding the concept.
    You can not create a Local product category (material group) from a back end product category.
    You can have both backend R/3 material groups and local product categoris (material groups) parallelly.
    That means in COMM_HIERARCHY for R3MATCLASS hierarchy you have two nodes created under that, one for backend material groups and the other for local material groups.
    In stand alone scenario or de-coupled scenario you can use local product categories and not in Extended classic and Classic scenarios.
    For accessing a local product category you should have a local P.Org, local P.Group and the users should be assigned to these local P.Orgs or P.groups.
    If you have such a setting in your org. structure then you can create S.Cs for local Product categories and local materials.
    Hope this makes you more clear in understanding the issue.
    Clarifications are welcome.
    Award points for helpful answers.

  • BOM status change during material replacement

    we use CSKB to create an order BOM. within the bom, we do a material replacement for one of the components, so that it's bom can also be modified. At the time of replacement, the material bom has a status of 1,  but after copying to the sales order bom, the status is changed to 3. this causes history tracking to turn on for the sales order bom, and we dont want that.
    is this change of status configured soemplace?
    tia

    I have found what i think to be th eproblem. the default bom status is set to 3, which is fine for a material BOM, but it appears it is also being used for the order bom.
    so... i decided to implement a method in BOM_UPDATE BADI. I copied some code from another message on this site, as follows:
    method if_ex_bom_update~change_at_save.
      data: wstko type cs01_stkob.
      data: name_tstko(30) value '(SAPLCSBT)O1-STPOB[]'.
      field-symbols: <tstko> type table.
      assign (name_tstko) to <tstko>.
      read table <tstko> into wstko index 1.
      if sy-subrc = 0.
    * if an order bom at status 03, change it to status 01
        if wstko-stlty = 'K' and wstko-stlst = '03'.
          wstko-stlst = '01'.
          modify <tstko> from wstko index 1.
        endif.
      endif.
    endmethod.
    The code compiles and executes fine, but the change is not made. i am guessing it has to do with the value in name_tstko, since that program is not even in my program stack when i save the bom (i put a breakpoint at the assign statement, and ran CSKB. I have tried various values based on the code that IS in my stack, and it simply short dumps, apparently unable to assign the names.
    this could potentially fix my status issue (and a couple of other issues) if i can get it to work. any help is appreciated.

  • CIF: ECC Material without plant assignment

    Hi Experts,
    i have a question regarding to CIF'ing of ECC materials to APO.
    Is it possible to CIF ECC materials to APO without an assignment of a plant to this material? If yes, how is this possible?
    We have several materials without such an assignment maintained in ECC (material group packiging material) and they are needed in APO.
    Kind regards
    Jens

    Jens,
    When I say 'planning system', I am not talking about predictabiity.  I am talking about the generic term concerning the management of supply and demand (which is mostly what APO does).
    In ECC, a packaging material is not normally treated as a resource.  It is a material.  It is unclear to me how you are using packaging materials to represent resources.
    A Product master can exist in APO without locations assigned.  Therefore, I suspect that using enhancements, it might be possible to CIF across only MARA data and not MARC data, but I have never tried it.   Perhaps one of the other Gurus can offer additional insights.
    Best Regards,

  • Bapi or IDOC  which create material master in ECC

    Hi Guys,
    Can any one let me to know by which function modules or Bapi or IDOC available to create material master in ECC?
    Regards,
    Veera

    hi,
    there are lot many ways of creating Mat master.
    1: you can go for idocs: /CWM/MATMAS_BAPI, /SAPSLL/MATMAS_SLL, ARTMAS, MATMAS..
    2: you can use LSMW batch method:
    Object               0020   Material master
    Method               0000
    Program Name         RMDATIND
    Program Type         D   Direct Input
    3: you can use BAPI as suggested above:
    Business Object      BUS1001006   Standard material
    Method               SAVEDATA                    Create and change materia
    Message Type         MATMAS_BAPI                 Create and change materia
    Basic Type           MATMAS_BAPI03               Create and Change Materia

  • Unable to use SCAT to upload material master in ECC 6

    I certainly do not use SCAT or SECATT to load master data, especially not material master.
    A material master has  dynamic screens, based on the material type the view selection will be different, based on entries made in MRP view fields become hidden or mandatory. Such things canot be done with a static recording.
    SAP provides batch input programs and BAPIs for material master load and additonally loading per IDOC in LSMW (which offers as well batch input and Bapi methods)

  • Material creation in ECC Frm MDM

    Hi Gurus,
    Has any one tried creating  new Material records in ECC frm MDM?
    I have a scenario wherein a user  logins from EP and creates a new material record.This triggers the MDM workflow and the enrichment of the record happens.
    Finally this material needs to be posted in ECC using XI.
    I have tried doing this but however, the idocs fails saying that the Material Does not exists or is not activated..
    Can any one guide me on this.
    Helpful answers will be rewarded
    Thanks
    Simona

    Hi Harrison,
    I am entering the material number from MDM which comes under the external number range for that material type.
    I have also checked with the settings and found that,the material type that i am using excepts both internal and external numbering.
    So the material number should not be a problem rite?
    But the error message says something abot activating the material,how can that be done from MDM?
    Thanks & Regards
