Material Settings

Hi All,
When I am trying to check 0MATERIAL in our Q, it is giving Material Conversion error. I faced the same problem in DEV and I maintained the settings in OMSL. Now, should I transport the settings from DEV to Q or maintain them directly in Q?
Best Rgds,
James.

Hi Bhanu,
As I have already maintained them in Q, can I now transport the request from DEV?
OR, can I leave it for now in Q but transport the settings from DEV to P?
Which would be the feasible solution?
Best Rgds,
James.

3d text material settings

finally decided to start extruding text so im slowly learning the ropes. have a simple phone number i extruded for a logo and have a reddish front with white sides. trying to figure out how to make the front a glossy kinda reflective surface.
is there a place where i can cheat and get the material settings for this?

Sadly,
I have a copy of Microsoft Office for the Mac on my Mac's in addition to iWork. Microsoft supports 3D text and many other graphical editing features that iWork does not. I find myself switching between Keynote and PowerPoint constantly doing things in PowerPoint them copy and pasting them into Keynote (which I prefer for layout and presentation). In addition to features like 3D text, I also love MS/Office's image library with its thousands of clipart images and photos all licensed for use in presentations, articles, and on web sites.
It is really funny that I find myself using Pages and Word, Keynote and Powerpoint, and even Numbers and Excel to build my final products. I bought Photoshop but have never mastered the complexities of the product to produce graphic designs and text layouts. Photoshop was an expensive mistake for me. Awesome product but way too complex for me to learn.

Inspection lot per HU instead of batch in inter company stock transfers

Hello,
We are testing intercompany stock transfers and we face the following problem when we check inspection lots created at the receiving plant: one inspection lot is created for each HU, while we want one per batch.
We multiplied tests with many combination on material settings on inspection type 01 (which is inspection type used on inspection lot):
u2022     with or w/o u201CInsp. for HUu201D
u2022     u201CControl inspLotu201D: blank, 1, 2 or X
without success!
Letu2019s me precise that inbound delivery is created automatically from goods issue at issuing plant because we activated SPED functionality (then Hus numbers are directly taken from outbound delivery to inbound delivery).
Also we noticed something that could help understand the problem:
1.     when issuing plant picks HUs into the warehouse, they confirm TO via RF transaction (LM61). As a result, outbound delivery as a main item and there is a split by several sub items, as many as HUs confirmed
2.     when we test the picking confirmation out of a non RF transaction (LT12), there is a main item but only sub items per batch (qty is then aggregated)
What is maybe interesting to notice is in the first case, inspection lot at receiving plant is created per HU while in the second case, it is created per batch!
Second behavior is what we require but RF pick confirmation is mandatory for us!
Is there any chance to change QM behavior in that case?
Thank you,

Dear Gajesh,
thanks for your replay. It is very helpful.
Option A
1) The finish goods would be are already release and that does not go with our Q-policy.
2) Does this mean, I have an inspection lot at the point of time of GR from production to warehouse and another inspection lot at the time of delivery. That would mean I double my work? And the time of delivery happens one day after GR from production but the Q-results still need some more days. I do not see how this should work.
Option B
1) What do you mean by multiple GR to the warehouse storage location?
Where do I have to activate the copying option for the inspection lot?
Here I see the problem still existing. The result of the MIC has not been found out yet, the UD can not be done and I do multiple goods movement to the warehouse. What is the lelp? If I could make several stock transfer from the q-stock within the inspection lot that would be the best.
May I am thinking wrongly but the best would be to keep the stock in the q-stock. Does a suitable BAPI exist where I could program a logic to it or what do you think?
Thanks for your feedback,
Best regards,
Heinz

Best Practice for Plan for Every Part (PFEP) Database/Dashboard?

Hello All-
I was wondering if anyone had experience with implementing / developing a Plan for Every Part (PFEP) Database in SAP. My company is looking to migrate its existing PFEP solution (Custom developed Excel/Access system) into SAP. If you are unfamiliar, a PFEP is a dashboard view of a part/material that provides various business groups with dedicated views to data from Material Masters, Info Records, and Vendor Master Records and combines it with historical/forecasting information. The goal is to provide a single source to all the part/material settings for a given part.
Is there a Best Practice PFEP in SAP? Or if this is something that most companies custom develop in ERP or BI?
Thanks in advance.
-Ron

I think you will likely get a response in SAP ERP - Logistics Materials Management (SAP MM)
additionally you might want to do some searches based on SAP Lean Inventory, perhaps Kanban. I am assuming you are not using WM or EWM either?
Where I have seen PFEP incorporated into the supply chain strategy this typically requires not inconsiderable additions to the alternate UoM in MM dropping of automatic replenishment levels (reorder level) and rethinking aspects of the MRP plan so be prepared or significant additional data management work if you haven't already started on that. I believe Ryder logistics uses PFEP and theirSAP infrstructure is managed by IBM; might be an idea to try and find a linkedin resource from there. You may also find one of the ASUG supply chain,logistics, MM or WM sigs a good place to also ask questions and look for answers.

Problem with a 3D object imported from Photoshop (CS5)

Hello, I have an interesting problem that I've never encountered.
I have a PSD file that contains a 3D object I created from AutoCAD. I need to animate the object and add it to a video comp I previously created.
After importing the PSD into aftereffects and making the rotation and camera adjustments that I needed, I rendered a movie to see if it was correct.
For some reason the object got washed out or something when animated. As if it had a Screen blend mode attached to it (which it doesn't).
All blend modes are set to normal and all opacity settings are also at 100%.
I'm attaching an image of what it looks like in AE and what it looks like in the rendered video.
Any advice is appreciated!

Your material settings and lighting are not properly adjusted for raytracing mode - that's what's being used at "Best Settings" in AE as opposed to the hardware accelerated normal view. In particular your specular shading seems to be set to zero, which generally does not work with PS Live 3D due to some bug.

Unable to View low level items for Phantom Assembly - Order created in APO

Hi All,
I am unable to view the sub items when I create planned orders in APO and production orders in ECC. But when the order for the same material is created in ECC, I can see all the sub items. I see that this issue is only for Phantom Assemblies.
And I cannot say that all the items in the Phantom do not appear, actually some of them do appear in BOM explosion.
For example:
Pld Ord is created for A in APO
Prd Ord for A is created in ECC
A has B, C and F as requirements
and B is phantom
B has D and F as requirements
Then my BOM explosion shows
..1 B
..2 D
..1 C
..2 D
..2 E
..1 F (This only gives the quantity required to make A)
But it should also list how much of F (..2 F) is required to make B.
Where as it comes up in ECC.
Do I need to change the material settings for Phantom or is it just the UOM that is creating an issue?

Hi!
Got thise problem. Did a RTT (Render to texture) so I could
use my lightningsets and shadows. When I try to export to w3d
max´s say : Non standard material type detected - Your
material settings may be ignored.
And trust me, they are. Any one knows why? And maybe how to
work around thise one?
Thank You!

yes i did....strange err im getting....
Do you use :

Make to Order strategy 50 creating Pur.req in Past against Sales order

Hello friends
We are planning to use strategy 50(MTO) scenario.The material settings for finished product is as below in material master
Procurement-F External
Planned delivery time 20
GR processing time 10.
Sales order created with requested delivery date of 10-Nov-2011.When the MRP is executed it creates a Pur Req with delivery date in past ie on 05/Nov/2011.
My requirment is that the system should consider the planned dlvy time+GR processing time=30 days and the pur req should be created with a delivery date of 10-Dec-2011(ie 30 days from 10-Nov-2011).
What settings needs to be checked the achieve the above result.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks
Harrit

Dear
In Material Master Please Check the Schedule Margin Key
And The repleshment lead Time and also check the Inhouse production
i mean to say is Maintain Floats in the Schedule Margin Key
Go to SPRO >>>Production>>>>Material Requiremet planning >>>>Planning >>>Define Floats
there u can Adjust Floats Accordingt to ur Requirement
With regards

Importing 3D Model

Hello.
When I import the 3D model to Phoroshop the texture on the model is very dark. Whot should I change in options to have model with correct colors(not that dark)?

Adjust the material properties for diffuse and specular shading as well as ambient light. of course first check your light intensities as well. Choose another light setup, if you like. If all else fails, ramp up the self illumination in teh material settings.

Log and Transfer is blank

I'm new to FCE, and seem to be having problems. When I hook up my new Panasonic SDR-H60, and open the log and transfer window, absolutely nothing happens - no clips or anything. What am I missing?

This camera records in MPEG2, which is not supported by FCE4.
You need to convert your material first, then you can set FCE to work with the converted material.
MPEGStream clip (www.squared5.com) can do the conversion from MPEG2 to one of the video formats that FCE4 supports (in your case you will choose to export QuickTime movie in DV NTSC format, audio uncompressed PCM 48Khz).
Then in FCE you will start with the proper easy setup for DV NTSC to match the material settings that you have now converted.

Easy Setups in folder, but not in Easy Setups window in FCP?

Hi all,
Just got my own copy of FCP, and have been tinkering around and getting familiar with the sequence settings, easy setups, etc.
I like the concept of the Easy Setups, however I noticed that not all of the Easy Setups from the "Additional Easy Setups" folder in my Applications folder (which came with the install) are visible in application.
For example, for one organization I edit for, we use a compact HD camera, a Canon VIXIA HF S200, which is AVCHD based, and we shoot in the XP+ setting (1440x1080) at 60i (29.97fps if you prefer).
When I did work on FCP6 there (I did not bother much with Easy Setups then) we'd be working with the appropriate sequence: ProRes422 1440x1080i60.
However in toying with these easy setups, the only ProRes 422 Easy Setup showing up is HDV-Apple ProRest 422 1080p24. However, the easy setups folder HAS a 422, 1440x1080, 60i easy setup config file, it's just not showing up in the app.
Worst comes to worst I'll just manually change the sequence setting because the sequence settings are there, I was just wondering If I had to "install" the additional easy setups or something so they actually appear as easy setups.
Again, no big deal, just was wondering if anyone knew, thanks!

Hi -
The "Easy Set-Ups" are a legacy feature in FCP from when tape based acquisition was standard.
Since you will be ingesting your HF S200 material via Log and Transfer, and making transcoding decisions there, the Easy Set Up you have chosen is not relevant.
Once you have ingested your clips, when you place/edit the first clip to a new sequence, FCP will prompt you to match the sequence settings to your source material settings - again, making the Easy Set Up not relevant.

Running an AE CC rendering through Media Encoder

Not sure what I need to be concerned with.
The Media Encoder CC is taking about 10 times longer than when I rendered this AE cs6 project in the past.
The AE cc project is 34 seconds and the media encoder is saying it will take 10 hours to render.
It's a H.264 going to YT HD.
Any tweaks for improvement?
it's the only thing running using 6 gig memory.

I have a similar slow render issue using ME vs. the AE renderer.
Win 7, i7-3770k @ 4.22 ghz, 32 gb ram. 15 seconds of animation 1080p, 29.97. I'm constantly cleaning the cache and have it on an ssd.
After effects CC completes a .mov using the h.264 codec with 100% quality, in just under 20 min.
The same project with the same render settings takes over 12 hrs in Media Encoder CC. (I didn't let it complete though, that was the eta)
Filter-wise I'm not using much, just 1 layer of optical flares and 1 light in the scene. It's a fairly simple scene with a 3d floor, 2d back wall, and a customers logo in the spotlight. There is a single optical flare layer in 3d space behind the logo. The logo has 10 copies offset by 1 pixel in z-space to make a fake 3d logo. They all have shadows on and I adjusted some of the material settings.
Having said all that, media encoder is severely lagging for some reason, and I don't believe it's a filter issue. If after effects can complete the task in 20 min, media encoder should not take 720 min (12 hrs), or more, using the exact same project and specs. That's almost 40 times longer.
As was discussed above with the "refine edge" feature, I don't think that's the problem as I am not using refine edge for my project. To me It seems like the link between ME and AE is broken/slow.

Control of Inspection Lot Creation in Material Master settings

Hi
There are settings like
1 for each document material, batch ,storage location
2 for each material, batch ,storage location .
X for PO , batch and storage location .
for each material document item
In the Control inspection settings of material master
i Can't understand the logic by F1 help .
Any help will be appreciated
Thanks
JJ

Dear JJ
These setting are done for controling the creation of inspection lots
1) If you want to create an inspection lot to all the goods receipt then you have to choose
' ' An inspection lot for each material document item .An inspection lot is created for each item in the goods receipt document.
2) X for PO , batch and storage location .
An inspection lot is only created during the first goods receipt for each PO item . Means if you have a PO item with quantity 50. and you make a GR for the same PO for 10 quantity an inspection lot will be created. But if you make again GR for the PO item inspection lot will not be created. Those item will go directly to unrestricted. This holds good if the PO item is same, batch number is same and aslo the storage location
3) 2 for each material, batch ,storage location
If you set this indicator, the system creates only one inspection lot for each material and batch. This setting is only advisable for materials with a batch management requirement. Again material, batch number and storage location should be same
4) '1' for each document material, batch ,storage location
If you set this indicator, the system creates only one inspection lot for a material document (in a goods receipt transaction) for each material. This setting is useful, if several purchase orders or partial deliveries are processed for the same material in a goods receipt transaction.
hope this helps

Batch level settings conversion from plant-to-plant to material-level

If someone has worked on conversion of Batch level settings within SAP from plant-to-plant to material-level batch management, please let me know what are the challenges involved in doing this. Thanks.

Check help !!!
To change the batch level, you have to start a conversion program. This program first checks whether conversion is possible and outputs an error log containing all batch numbers that occur more than once at the new level. Now you need to manually transfer these batch records to batch numbers within Inventory Management using a transfer posting 'material to material'.
If you change the level from plant level to a higher level, it is possible that batches with the same batch numbers in different plants are actually identical. In this case, all you have to do is remove stocks (including previous period stocks) so that all batches with the same batch numbers, except one, can be reorganized.
When you convert from plant level to material level, the material is then to be handled in batches in all plants in which it is defined.
Standard settings
In the standard delivery batches are uniquely defined at material level.
Activities
To change the batch level, proceed as follows:
1. Choose the level at which you want your batches to be unique.
2. Save the new settings and choose Back.
3. Choose Batch level -> Conversion.
4. If necessary, carry out the conversion in test mode first.
Further notes
Note that you cannot reset conversion from plant level to a higher level in the standard.
If you create a client by copying an existing client, initially, there are no settings in the target client at batch level. The system makes the settings in the target client only when you have carried out an activity (maintaining master data or posting a goods movement, for example). The client level is not transported. If you copy a client with client level, you have to manually set the client level in the target system.

CIN Settings in Material Master

Hi Experts,
I have maintained all the settings related to CIN in the path SPRO >> Logistics General >> Tax on Goods Movements >> India
But in the material master the fields to maintained the chapter ID is not appearing in the "Foreign Trade: Import Data".
Please let me know
1. if I am looking at wrong place
2. What other settings are required in material master and vendor master etc.
Please note: I was given a PDF document for CIN settings but the doc doesnt contain the additional settings that are required to be done in the vendor and material master.
Thanks in Advance,
Uday Kumar.
Note : Please read & follow forum rules of posting.

HI,
Use T.Code J1ID for all CIN master settings (material,vendor,Customer )
1.Chapter-Id ->. First maintain chapter ID s
2. Material and Chapter-Id combination here maintain chapter id for your material and plant combination and also maintain material type (Raw material or Asset etc .i.e RG23A or RG23C)
3. Vendor Excise details here maintain excise details for vendor
