Material Substitution by Sales Group?

We will be trying to rollout a new product in place of another, but we want to do it in "waves" -- like by different groups of customers. Is anyone aware of any functionality within SAP that would support doing this? What we are thinking is that we may have to do some kind of batch program that would update sales orders, but we are looking for a better way of doing this.
Thank you very much!

Hi,
Have you tried material determination in sales so that when you ordered BBBB, it is substituted with AAAAAA ?
Why doesn't it work ?

Material Substitution during Sales Process

We produce one material, production posting in one material number AAAA, but when people sale because of different grade acid, they sale in several different material number, ie. BBBB and CCCC, then inventory becomes negative for these material number BBBB and CCCC . At month end, people have to do manually move stock from AAAA to BBBB and CCCC.
Is their any way we can config to let this automatically happen? Which means if we sale BBBB and CCCC, it will deduct inventory from AAAA?

Material with item cat.group ERLA impact on costing and sales pricing

Hello,
I would like to know if a material which is defined as item category group ERLA and which has two sub-items posted in the BOM with usage 5 with its respective std cost could be calculated for costing or not?
Can I have some information about the impact on costing and pricing in sales?
Thanks in advance
AB

No the material type should be a FG : it is relevant for sales reporting. For example I call it material "A". In the material master data within the sales screen the item category group ERLA is assigned to "A" . The material A is a grouping material with a sales BOM which contains some sub-items for example B and C which are picked and shipped together. The grouping material is not handled as stock material: only the sub-items are stocked and moved.
The customer could only require the material A with its price and receive phisically the two sub-items with a unique package unit or with two separate ones.
In this scenario the FG with ERLA item could be estimated for standard cost or not?
Thanks in advance

Hi Friend,
Check the assignment of Sales group to the sales office in the ENTERPRISE STRCTRE--->ASSIGNMENT
Path: IMG->ENTERPRISE STRUCTRE->ASSIGNMENT->SALES ORGANISATION->ASSIGN SALES GROUP TO SALES OFFICE.Make sure the same sales office was entered during the sales order creation also.
May be the issue with having dual sales office and sales group creation.
Please revert if further clarification is needed.

Material substitution management (1:n)

Dear All,
I need to manage a material substitution 1:n (e.g. material A has to be substituted from B + C + D).
The solutions analysed are:
1) manage a SET material (Z(1PC) = B(1PC) + C(2PC) + D(1PC)) and setup the substitution A(5PC) -> Z = B(5PC) + C(10PC) + D(5PC)
PROBLEM: in this way I cannot manage the partial qty: in case of 100 PC ordered of material A and 80 PC available of material A I should have:
mat A: 80PC
mat B: 20PC
mat C: 40PC
mat D: 20PC
2) try to add new items during the sales order creation/change
PROBLEM: I try to do some test in the user exit and it seems there are so much risk; really it is not possible to do it?
Thanks in advance
Best regards.
Elena.

I would not add new items/materials in userexit.
We used a special program written to split original item (like keep just delivered portion or you can keep qty = confirmed qty), add new item (it can be BOM like your Z material) for the remaining qty. You can copy other info from the original item (if it was changed from default, like texts for example). In this case you can build any logic you want and don't have to maintain these substitution rules.

Sales group not filled form sales order header in PGI accounting Document

Hi all,
we are creating a sales order . when sold to and ship to is entered the sales group at the header level is fetched from the customer master automatically.
Now after changing the sales group,different from customer master,the sales order got saved as usual with a warning mesaage 'sales group is diiferent from customer master'.
After doing PGI and billing , the sales group fetched in billing document is same as that of sales order header,but when good issue delievry document is displayed , in accounting document of the material document (ie. in FB03),the sales group in profit segment tab is getting filled from customer master.
Now the requirement is to fetch the sales group from sales order header instead of customer master.

hi
check your copy control settings and change if required

Same Material with different itemcatagory groups

We have 3rd party manufacturers that make product for company and sometimes they send the finished product back to company and other times they will drop ship it to one of our customers.
this scenario we need to have the same material with different itemcatagory groups
i tried to create same material with different storage locations, but it's possible but the thing is when i change the item catagory group for the material , the same is applicable for 2nd same material, my requirement is i need 2 different itemcatagory for the same material, hope u understand my requirement
i will be expecting your possible replys.
Thanks & Regards
Venkat.Dhanemkula

Hi Venkat..
Please explain it more clear manner..
With whatever i have understand, i think you scenerio is manual 3rd party order processing.
In that case the material that you normally deliver yourself but occasionally need to order from a third-party vendor, you can overwrite the item category during sales order processing.
Keep only one material and specify the item category group NORM in the material master.
If, as an exception, you use a third-party material, change the entry TAN to TAS in the ItCa field when processing the sales document. The item is then processed as third-party item.
hope it helps you.

Need to bypass Material substitution rule for SO created through RFC

Hello SAP Geniuses,
I have an external process that creates Sales orders using a RFC calling BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2.
My Users want to create orders for Materials that have substitution rules defined, but they want to bypass these rules when the Sales Orders are created from the external process. Other Users in the same Sales Organization and Distribution Channel need the substitution rule to sell these materials, so config cannot solve this.
I have already tried detecting when VBAP-MATNR NE VBAP-MATWA and calling BAPI_SALESORDER_CHANGE with the original MATNR, but the same substitution occurs in this FM.
Can anyone point me to a User Exit or BADI that can add flexibility to the Material Substitution mechanism in SD module?

Jack,
You are a genius!
These are the steps I followed to implement this idea:
1) VOFM -> Requirements -> Material determination -> New rule in the 800 series
2) Insert code into rule with SSCR key; Activate code; Activate rule.
3) Run utility program RV80HGEN to create rule in FG V61D -> SAPLV61D -> LV61DNNN -> RV61DNNN -> RV61D8xx
4) SPRO-> Sales and Distribution -> Basic Functions -> Maintain Prerequisites for Material Determination -> Maintain procedure -> select procedure -> double-click "Control data" -> enter rule into box "Requiremnt". Save.
5) SPRO-> Sales and Distribution -> Basic Functions -> Assign Procedures To Sales Document Types -> select doc type of interest -> enter procedure name into field "MatDeterm." for doc type. Save.

Sales group discription needs to be populated when selected sales group

Hi Friends,
I have created one custom table with Sales group (VKGRP) and its description(BEZEI). And also I have created one tcode for this table to enter the values through Maintain Table Views(SM30). So when you give the tcode, Maintain Table Views(SM30) screen will trigger to create the entries in custom table.
I have F4 help for sales group(VKGRP) field. When I press on F4, I will get list of sales groups and its descriptions.
My requirement is when I select one sales group from the list, sales group description for that sales group should populate automatically on the sales group description field How can I achieve this?
Please advice on this.
Thanks,
Kumar

Hi Kumar,
   Consider the below example,
REFRESH : t_material,return4.
CLEAR   : t_material.
SELECT matnr FROM mara
              INTO t_material-matnr
              WHERE mtart = 'DIEN'.
SELECT amatnr bmaktx INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE
                          t_material FROM mara AS a INNER JOIN
                         makt AS b ON amatnr = bmatnr
                          WHERE a~mtart = 'DIEN'.
   APPEND t_material.
ENDSELECT.
CALL FUNCTION 'F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST'
    EXPORTING
      retfield   = 'X_ASSIGNMENT-MATERIAL'
      value_org = 'S'
    TABLES
      value_tab = t_material
      return_tab = return4.
IF sy-subrc = 0.
   x_assignment-material = return4-fieldval.
    READ TABLE t_material WITH KEY maktx = return4-fieldval.
    IF sy-subrc = 0.
      x_assignment-material = t_material-matnr.
    ENDIF.
ENDIF.
see the above example it will bring the material and its description.

Changing of DC,Division, Sales Office and Sales Group

Hi Gurus,
We are creating Projects using Assembly Process in our system.
In our system, profit center on Project would default from Sales Order (Substitution rules) which derived from Customer (USA and Non-USA), DC, Division, Sales office and Sales group.
Due to business requirements, it was decided to change the profit center on Project. But It is not possible to change values against DC & Division fields since they are grayed out, we are retaining Customer as it is and no change. Note that we are planning to reverse billing and accounting documents which were created during billing to customer.
Please do let me know is there any work around solution to update DC, Division, fields. Would appreciate your inputs and thanks in anticipation. Points would be rewarded for suitable solution.
Regards,
Sudhakar

Hi,
Please remove WBS element assignment in the sales order, create another sales order and map the same WBS there. While creating new sales order you can use required Sorg, DC, division. We do this in resource related billing for changing sales area in the S.O.
Not sure if this helps you. If not, only solution is to pre-close the existing project and create a new one.

Material Substitution List in VA01

Hi,
In VA01 I would like to create Material Substitution. Could someone tell me how do we do it. Any kind of inputs are highly appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,
ABAP'er

Hi,
The first step is to visit transaction SPRO -> Sales and Distribution -> Basic Functions -> Material Determination. If you expand the Material Determination branch, you should see three IMG activities: (1) Maintain Prerequisites for Material Determination (several configuration steps), (2)Assign Procedures To Sales Document Types (specify a material determination procedure for the sales document types for which you want to carry out material determination), and (3)Define Substitution Reasons (specify additional control parameters and system responses for each substitution reason).
There is detailed information for each of these IMG activities in transaction SPRO. Just click the little sheet of paper next to each IMG activity.
Normally I would think that the SD functional consultant would perform these configuration steps. Note that http://help.sap.com also has information on this topic.
Cheers,

How to restrict Sales office and Sales Group.

Hi All,
I want to restrict the users from changing the sales office and sales group in the sales order.
Is there any standard way to achieve this or do we need to do with User exit??
Please help.
Thanks,
Pavan.

hi
there is no standard settings for estrict the users from changing the sales office and sales group in the sales order
so you have to write the logic in userexit
DATA: lt_user_list   TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF tvarvc,
       lw_user_list   TYPE tvarvc,
       lr_user        TYPE RANGE OF syuname,
       lw_user        LIKE LINE OF lr_user.
IF screen-name EQ ' VBAK-VKBUR' and   VBAK-VKGRP.
* IF sy-tcode EQ 'VA02'.
**Get list of users who are allowed to change SO - only they can change payment terms
     SELECT *
       FROM tvarvc
       INTO TABLE lt_user_list
      WHERE name = 'ZSD_VA02_ALLOWED'
        AND type = 'S'.
     IF sy-subrc = 0.
       LOOP AT lt_user_list INTO lw_user_list.
         lw_user-sign = lw_user_list-sign.
         lw_user-option = lw_user_list-opti.
         lw_user-low    = lw_user_list-low.
         lw_user-high   = lw_user_list-high.
         APPEND lw_user TO lr_user.
         CLEAR lw_user.
       ENDLOOP.
**    If user is not in the users listed for change allowed
       IF sy-uname NOT IN lr_user.
         screen-input = 0.
       ELSE.
         screen-input = 1.
       ENDIF.
     ENDIF.
   ENDIF.
ENDIF.
go to STVARV t code here you check the NAME and give the user ids who need to change
