Material status blocks creation of reservation in SRM

Dear All,
We observe the following behavior in our SRM (5.0) System:
If we create a caddy for a product that has the Cross-Plant Material Status : 04 (Material master, view Basic Data 1) in the Backend-System, the reservation can not be created. There is a message indicating, that it is not possible to purchase the product.
If we create the reservation for the same product direct in the Backen-System, there is no problem.
This is OK, if we do external procurement, but internal procurement should not be blocked in SRM.
Do you know where we have to customize this message?
Thank you.
Best regards,
Thomas

Hi Thomas
understood.
not possible to purchase the product --
is it having a purchasing view in ECC .
If you did not pull this materials in to SRM , how can you procure from SRM web portal.
first you need to select this material via internal goods and services in the srm web portal . then only you can order a material from SRM.
if you pulled a material from ECC to SRM and it must be in COMMPR01.

Material status in PO

Experts,
If I want to exlude / influence the material status (blocked for purchasing with error) check in PO type UB (Stock Transport Order), how to go about it? Is there a standard solution? This order type is used only for transfering stock within the company and not to purchase. It does not make sense to block this order type.
Also, are there user-exits / BADIs to influence it? Would appreciate your inputs.
UV

Dear,
I think you are getting error while creating STO for some material & trying to reectify that error.
If my assumption was correct plz proceed like below,
Check Material master MM03 - Basic 1 view >X-plant material status> Blocked for procurement(01)
If avail plz take remove it.
Also check MRP1 view...there is also an option to block the material for procurement.Plz remove it also
Then create STO,

How to validate material status in physical Inv Doc creation using MI01

Hi Experts,
I would like to know how to validate material status while creating physical inventory document using MI01 transaction.
I tried to figure out a suitable BADI and customer exits ,but it didnt work out well.
Kindly share your thoughts on how this can be achieved.
Regards,
Mohammed Aslam Rasheed

Do you really create your inventory documents with this MI01 transaction manually by entering material for material?
The real transaction for physical inventory is MI31. How do you want SAP to react if hundreds of materials are selected and inventory documents are created in a batch process?
SAP takes care about the material status in MI04 and MI07 transactions.
I am not aware of any exit for MI01 maintenance, you may consider Explicit and Implicit Enhancement Options

Prevent creation of reservation for selected components on Production order

Hello all,
I am aware that the production order reservation creation is dependant on the order type, but is it possible to avoid the reservation creation for few components on the order ? Any techincal way? We want to issue our components to a different batch than the one reserved during the production order creation.
Any help will be greatly apprciated.
Thanks,
Swetha

Your material is get reserved for Production order as per the Order start date & Order release. What you can do is make the start date of the Production order & release it. If any other production order are already there & you can re set the ATP of that production order.
Say there is one production order starting 2 days after & your all raw material is blocked for this production order. And the other production is having date after this now you want to give ATP from 1st order to 2nd order. For this 1st make the start date of 2nd prod order before 1st. Then Go to COMAC select both Prod Ord & GO ATP with check reset ATP. You see that ATP is passed from 1st Prd order tp 2nd.

Material Status : Restricted Procurement.

Dear Experts ,
I need to maintain the Plant status for procurement in such a way that :
1. No POs should be created against external vendor .
2. Stock Transfer Orders to be created . That PO with vendor as site .
In define material status , plant specific settings , Purchasing if i use B , the system stops creation of all POs .
Please tell me how can i control the creation of POs as stated above ?
Regards
Anis

Hello Experts ,
Thanks for your valuable inputs ,
@Satish Kumar - We need to restrict a few materials & hence we cannot do anything at the material type level .
@Prashant - Thanks a lot , it is a very helpful suggestion .
@Raja - We dont need to block the material at plant level , but need to restrict its PO usage .
@Indranil - ABAP development is a solution , but will always call for changes if one needs to add/delet the material usage restrictions .
@Jurgen - Procurement Type settings are at Material Type level . Hence will not server the purpose.
@SRK - Authorization is for an entire document type , we need the control for a material for all users & not user specific control .
Thanks all of u for the help.

System must show msg - Due to phys. inv., material is blocked for movement

Hi,
We want that when do anything (create PO, create BOM, material movements etc) on XXXXX material, system must show the message - Due to phys. inv., material is blocked for movements.
If we mark X in Phys. Inv. Block indicator in material master under Store location stock, then this msg must be shown, but not happening this.
How can we do it.
Regards.

Hi,
Maintain the blocking indicator in the purchasing view of material master - Plant-sp.matl status.
Based on the block configuration you will get warning/error message.
The Physical inventory block indicator in Storage location stock view is set automatically when you create a physical inventory document with posting block.
But this block will only restrict material movements for this material. PO/BOM creation will be allowed.
Hope its clear.
Thanks & Regards,

Stop Creation of reservation while creating process orders....

Hi All,
THe requirement is to stop creation of reservations on creation of process order.
have done the configuration in order type dependent parameters to stop creation of reservations on creation of process order.
After this configuration the reservations have stopped appearing in the MMBE for components although there are reservation created.
The above case appears only when i am creating process orders manually through transaction COR1....But when process orders are created by converting Plann order then in this case although the order type is same there are reservations visible in the MMBE transaction for the components.
Request you to please guide through the reason for creation of reservations when a process order is created by converting a plan order.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi All,
We are using the planning strategy 40 where in we produce only when the sales order is received.
For a material we are using SPK as stock transfer from other plant.
The requirement for this material is triggered due to 1)dependent reservation(as this component is used as a component to manufacture other material 2)Sales requirement for this material.
On MRP the requirement is transferred to the supplying plant and we receive the stock in our plant.
Now this stock is the total of requirement generated to fulfill the sales requirement and the consumption requirement.We cannot differentiate which stock was called in for sales order and which for fulfilling the production requirement of the superior material.
Whenever a production order for the superior material is created reservation for this material are created because of which the stock will not be available for creation of deliveries for sales orders.(This is because of the av checking rule)
Is there a way to differentiate these stocks.
We thought about creating MRP areas to manage the requirements differently but this will lead to creation storage locations and thus affect our global template.
Thus we thought of blocking of creation of reservations......this we thought as all the materials are already available by the time the process order is created so there is no point in creating reservations for the same.
Let m know if you need any further information .......Help me providing a proper solution to the issue.
Thanks in advance

CIF errors due to material status

Hi All,
We are having lot of CIF errors due to material status "40" in CIF, which restrict creation of P.reqs and PO at source location.
Eg:- LOC1 is a manufacturing location and LOC2 is a Distribution centre. A new Product A introduced at both location, having status status "40" at both the location.
When APO creates P.Reqs with source as LOC1 and Destination as LOC2 for this product, these p.reqs get stuck in CIF queue, as plant specific status "40" doesn't allow creation of P.Reqs at LOC1 in ECC.
We thought of creating a new status "Z1", which would allow the creation of P.Reqs and PO. But the requirement was to allow only creation of P.Reqs and not PO. But in the config setting in ECC for material status there is common setting for P.Reqs and PO and cannot be differentiated.
Have anybody come across such problem and whats the way to address this issue.
Thanks & Regards
Shankar

Hi Shankar,
Please check list of enahncements in SMOD transaction. The enhacements related to Purchase documents start with "CIFPUR.."
Or other path in SPRO is as below:
In the ERP system under Integration with Other SAP Components >> Advanced Planning and Optimization >> Application-Specific Settings and Enhancements >>Settings and Enhancements for External Procurement.
Because of the blocked status of the material ,while transferring the PR/PO data, the CIF prrogram -function call for creating the purchasing document does not get triggered. As written in earlier mail, the enhancement on SAP ECC inbound may not help, because, the material status is picked up from ECC ( or SAP R/3) material master data and not taken from APO.
Neverthless, you may please have a look at these enhancements.
I hope this gives insight to you.

Material Status Report

Hi Gurus,
Is there any standard report for Material status.
we are maintaining the status in OMS4.
which we are using in Material Master like
Blocked for procment/whse
Blocked for task list/BOM
These statuses for a particular material, i would like to know from any standard report.Pls suggest me.

Hi
The material status tells you whether a material is subject to restrictions, and what they are. For example, a material may be a part under development or one to be discontinued. The use of a material can be restricted in a number of ways:
The material can be blocked for use in certain business activities by assigning one or both of the following material statuses to it:
Plant-specific material status
In the standard material master, this field appears on the Costing screen, MRP screen, Production Resources/Tools screen, Purchasing screen, Quality Management screen, and Work Scheduling screen.
Cross-plant material status
In the standard material master, this field appears on the Basic Data screen. It is valid for the whole client.
There is no standard report available for Material status display.You need to develop new report for this.Simple you can copy MM60 program RMMVRZ00 and this field in the same develop new program. or
You can get details from the table level.
For cross plant status (Client level)
Field: MMSTAE and Table MARA
For Plant specific
Field: MMSTA and Table: MARC

How to check the date and time when a material is blocked

Hello,
Please tell me how can i check the date and time when a material is blocked or unblocked.
Regards,
Priyanka

Hi Pryianka,
Are you speaking about blocked status of material master ('X-plant matl status' > MM03 > Basioc view 1; 'Plant-sp. matl status' > MM03 > MRP 1) or your problem is to find out the date when your material was booked into blocked state (stock category).
If your problem is about mmr you can use the above mentioned MM04 (or MM03 > menu > Environment > Display changes).
If your problem is to find out when your goods were posted to blocked stock you have to use MB51 + relevant movement types (e.g. 103, 344) + batch + etc. ()

Material status at plant level

Dear Guru's,
Please suggest the material status or any other solution for blocking material for planning i.e. there should be no PR, planned order or sales order. But that status should not create problem while mass level changes for BOM, Routing, DMS.
Status 90 in MRP 1 creating problem while applying mass level changes. Also tried 00 & 01 but they are allowing to create sales orders.
Regards,
SAP CONS

Hi,
Go to OMS4 & check the statuses & their values. Choose the one which meets your need. If none suits, then create one.
You can prevent a material from being part of MRP run, while allowing to be in BOM by setting B & blank or A respectively.
Revert if you face any issues.

Vivek

Material statuses error message should go after entering Trackin No in PO

Hi All,
I have created one Material statuses with error message, I have created material with the use of that material statuses..
Its working fine,At the creation of PR, PO I'm getting that Error message..
My requirement is if I enter Requirement Tracking Number at item level of PR or PO means that Material statuses Error message should Go out and system has to allow to create PR or PO..
Is it possible?? how to do it?? plz help me...
Is it possible in standard SAp???
thanks and regards
rames reddy

Hi,
You can keep Requirement Tracking Number as Required Entry in field selection key (NBF or a copy of NBF as ZNBF) of PO document type in u201CReference data, itemu201D segment in following path:
SPRO > Materials Management > Purchasing > Purchase Order > Define Screen Layout at Document Level
And then assign field selection key to PO Document type and save.
SPRO > Materials Management > Purchasing > Purchase Order > Define Document Types
Now create PO with PO document type, system will ask you to enter Requirement Tracking Number in u201CItem Overviewu201D unless then you can save Purchase Order.
The same you can do for PR document type by having a field selection key for PR document type.

Avoiding creation of reservation during creation of production order

Dear gurus,
when we create a production order for a semifinshed material there are reservations created for the raw material used to produce the semifinished material ,what if I what to avoid the creation of material reservation .
I have tried out with setting in opl8 wherein we specify the creation of reservation on release of production order or on creation or never but it is not working otu please if u can help me out.
I what to create manual reservation for production orders......Is it possible?
Thanks in advance.

Dear ,
.As long as , you have BOM components are in stock , system will generate reservation for them when you create Production order where as if any of the component is not available in the stock then it will generate PR based on the material master set up because when you are creating production order or creating planned order through MRP , system performs material availablity check in the back ground and generate either reservation or PR automatically .
Secondly, you can not create Manual Reservation , See the Std SAP message .Message no. M7 126
You entered an order whose category only permits automatic reservations. The following order categories do not allow manual reservations:
10 PP production order
20 network
30 maintenance order
40 batch order (process manufacturing)
50 inspection lot.
So conclusion is you can't stop creation of reseravtion .Curious to know why you do not want reservation for PO ?
Hope this is clear
Regards

Stop creation of reservations against the sales order

Hi
I have a situation here can any body help me out?
For a single material there are two types of sales orders like export and local sales.
Now as the sales orders are large enough and can deliver over the six month or more.
This sales order creates large quantity reservation and due to this other sales order not confirmed although stock is available.
Now we want to stop creation of reservations against the sales order as well as availability check in sales order (availably check may be able to by pass using item category).
But we still want reservation against other production orders.(where the material as BOM component)

Hi,
check below options
1. You can maintain Reason for rejection
2.. you can maintain BN in sales order schedule line category
Let's wait other experts to answer this

Billing not Possible- Overall Status Blocked

Hello All,
I have a problem while creation of the Billing document based on Order. Our Scenario is of Service Billing i.e. Contract->Order--> Billing.
Problem: While creating Billing -Error Log is created stating " Document xxxxxxxx blocked for billing'
When I checked the Sales Order for any blocks, the Header Status shows Overall blkd status as Blocked.
The Sales document is also released for Credit., the Customer has no blocks set.
Can you help me in tracing out the reason.
Regards,
Karthik.

Hello All,
Thanks for your responses. The Problem is not of Billing Block. The Issue is Overall Status block.
We have line item wise Billing block, which is removed first and then the Order release is done by VKM3.
So even after the Credit release is done the Status shows Overall Status as blocked.
Regards,
Karthik.
