Material Status - Returns

Hello Gurus,
I have a query regarding stock status of a material which needs to be activated during returns.
Suppose, a particular material of which 100 qty is present in a store and 40 of them are faulty, How do we change the stock status of the material from unrestricted use to returns status.
Please guide.
regards

Either you return your goods by using movement 122, and doing RETURN DELIVERY in migo against the PO, or create a return PO and do 161 against the PO, or if you dont want to return the goods for now, then you need to do transfer posting and send the material to blocked stock, this way the material will not show up in unrestricted use.
When you do returns or return delivery, the stock is removed from unrestricted use and send to vendor and is no longer available with you.

Sub contracting material is returned without the activity carried out

Dear Friends,
I have a one doubt which I need to clarify.
I have supplied some material to subcontracting vendor. The vendor processes some of them & sends back the finished product. Some of the material is returned back without being processed.
Step1- S/C PO created (Finished Product X, Component-Y)
To produce 10 X , Y required is 100
Step2- MB1B(541) for 100 of Y
Step3- J1IF01 created with reference to MB1B document for 100
Step3- But vendor supplies 5 quantities & 60 components are consumed. So GR done for 5 nos. 40 components are returned back without being processed.
Step4- J1IFQ
Then reconciliation is being done with respect to the GR document for 60 components. Still the challan is open.
Step5- Then in MB1B I did 542 for the 40 quantities.
Then in J1IFQ I reconciled 40 quantities with
reference to 542 material document.
I want to know wheather this method is correct or not.
The problem I am facing is,
1) During reconciling the 40 quantities with reference to 542 material doc it is showing 2 line items each with 40 quantities in J1IFQ. But the open quantity is showing 40 only.
2) While completing the challan in J1IF13 , It is giving run time error(Dump).

Hi,
The method you are following is correct as the Standard SAP process.
Once you reconcile the 40 qty with respect to the 542 mvt type
Then goto J1IFR check the quantity pending it should be 0 only and will display 2 material documents there
Then goto J1IF12 check the Challen status -- It should be fully reconcilled
Then goto J1IF13 - Complete/ Reverse/ Recredit there select the posting tab & mark as Complete challen
Then check in Overview tab as Completed

Update the x plant material status and plant speific material status

HI Experts,
I am new to abap. In my requriment i want to update the status of x-plant material status (MSTAE) in MARA and
plant specific material status (MMSTA) in MARC. In master data the status of those fields is blank. Insted of balnk i have to upload '01' or '02'.
using BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA i am unable to upload. its not working.
is there any another way to upload that two plants status.
thanks in advance
sravan

Hi martin,
i think insted of it_*** (internal table) we have to use work area. please make sure conform this one.
i am giving my logic wat i have written and my requirement also...
The process to update material master data status is described in 'xxxxx' Mark and Release Cost Estimates and BAPu201D.
u2022     As a result of releasing a standard cost, certain master data elements need to be updated by the Cost accountant in order to enable further activities within SAP.
u2022     All material codes for which Cost Accounting has released a new standard cost, need to have their Material Status indicators changed from 02 (reviewed) to 03 (released). This removes the system blocks on certain activities within SAP like purchasing, production and Sales. The status will be needed to change in two views of the Material Master.
u2022     The u201CX-plant matl statusu201D field on the Basic Data 1 view
u2022     The u201CPlant-sp. matl statusu201C field on the Costing 1 view
This update should be automated
Select materials for which a price change document was posted based on selection parameters.
Select price change documents for company code defined in selection screen since last run date
u2022     Reference procedure = PRCHG (MLHD-AWTYP)
u2022     Entered on MLHD-CPUDT u2013 verify against last run date to include in selection
u2022     Entered at MLHD-CPUTM u2013 verify against last run date to include in selection
u2022     Store last run date and time by company code, so that it can be picked up in the next run. (store in table TVARVC?)
Select only the documents of plants which belong to the company code in table MLIT. The link between company code and plant can be found in table T001K.
u2022     Valuation area = Plant MLIT-BWKEY
u2022     Create a list of all materials MLIT-MATNR
The next 2 updates should happen independently;
u2022     Update the u201CPlant-sp. matl statusu201C field (MARC-MMSTA) on all plant views belonging to the company on the Costing 1 view to status 3 with as prerequisite;
u2022     The current plant material status is 02
u2022     This action must be done on all plants belonging to the company code
u2022     Update the u201CX-plant matl statusu201D field (MARA-MSTAE) on the Basic Data 1 view to status 3 with as prerequisite;
u2022     The current X-plant material status is 02.

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

Ramakrishna

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.
Regards,
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.

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.

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

Material Status field in Material master

Hi,
This is regarding Material Master.
Where can I find field Material Status (MARA-PSTAT) in Material Master??
regards,
Rc

Different views of material master when maintained are given a unique ID such as:
Work scheduling - A
Accounting - B
Classification - C
MRP - D
Purchasing - E
Production resources/tools - F
Costing - G
Basic data - K
Storage - L
Forecasting - P
Quality management - Q
Warehouse management - S
Sales - V
Plant stocks - X
Storage location stocks - Z
MARA-VPSTA- MARA is the master table for materials and is at client level. VPSTA tells you all the views that have been created for the material. and Plant Stock and Storage Location stock views get created automatically.
MARA-PSTAT - tells you the views that have been created manually.
MARC-PSTAT - tells you the view created manually, relevant to Plant
MARD-PSTAT - tells you the view created manually, relevant to Storage Location data (Storage)
MBEW-PSTAT - tells you the view created manually, relevant to Finance (Accounting and Costing)

Material status in material master

Hi,
We have different type of statuses that can be maintained in material master like -
Distribution-chain-specific material status
Cross-distribution-chain material status
Cross-Plant Material Status
Plant-Specific Material Status
The settings for these are maintained as part of configuration.
Is there any possibility to further add some more control parameters in the statuses through development or customising?
regards,
Mohit

Hello Mohit ,
What kind of control you are expecting through the material status ? We can do config and maintain new material status through the t-code OMS4.
Just to mention few of the control few of the control we can do from there are Message/Error if independent requirement is created for material , Message /Error if material is used in MRP, Message/Error if material is used in production order header, Message /Error if material used in WM transfer reqmt/posting change etc etc .
There are other plenty of option there which you can explore.
I hope the information helps
Cheers

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,

Storage location material status

Hi,
I wanted to ask if anyone knows if / how can we maintain storage location - material status.
I mean to use the same functionality of plant material status which determines which of the logistic processes a specific material participate in.
We need the same thing but at storage location level. The reason is, that at some times several storage locations are going through a (physical) change, e.g. redecoration.. and we need to "block" them for some processes like, stock transfer, purchase requisitions... and so on...
Regards,
Doron Oded.

Hi,
Well, thanks for your answer, but it is insufficient..
We need to block the storage location for processes which are not necesseraly manual, like MRP, ATP, and in places where there is no check at storage location level - Logistic execution (deliveries, shipments), Purchasing... and so on..
If for example, a storage location is damaged due a storm, or any other act of god (or man).. We need to block it to all logistic processes. The question is - what is the best way..?
Thanks,
Doron Oded.

Reporting Material Status

Dear All,
I would need help in solving my issue: I have to make a report on Materials (for given markets) to see which one of them is LIVE (is still used) and which one is not used. I found 3 categories for 'Material status' in Material Master:
-     Cross-plant material status
-     Cross-distribution-chain material status
-     Distribution-chain-specific material status
My problem is that I don't know which one to use to define the STAUS of the given Material.
Can anyone help me in this??
Thank you in advance,
Anita

you missed a forth field: plant specific material status.
you said you have to create a report on Materials (for given markets) to see which one of them is LIVE
how do you know these markets from your material master? can they be identified by sales org, dist. channel and division?
if yes, then you can concentrate on the sales statuses (distribution-chain material status)
a status can be customized to restrict certain activies, but can as well be defined just as pure text without any restrictions.
if you want use sales statuses for your report purpose, then make sure you are not in conflict with your SD consultant who may want to use the sales status differently.
a Cross-distribution-chain material status effects any combination of sales org, dist. channel and division, while a
Distribution-chain-specific material status effects only one combination (the one where it is maintained )
