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,
James

  • Need a user exit before material substitution executes in VA01, 02

    My client has a unique need in SAP AFS.  When entering an order, they have material substituion turned on and they want it to always execute.  The problem is that we have a custom FM that must execute prior to material substitution - it will determine the material first and then material substitiion should use THAT material to detemine if it needs to substitue a material/grid.  I have put break points in every exit I could find in the SAPMV45A exits.  The one I would normally use is in MV45AFZZ for changes for VBAP, VBEP, etc. - but no matter what exit I put a break in for debugging (to see when it is called during order entry) - material substituion always executes first.  yes, the exit for VBAK executes prior to material substition but that is at the header - I need the order lines.  Also note that we are talking about the UPC/EAN tab - we are entering a UPC code and that gets the material/grids we need - this is not on the normal order line screen.
    Does anyone have any ideas?
    As always - points for helpful answers.
    Thanks.

    Only solution was a repair to SAP, so we found way for standard SAP to handle it.

  • Warning message for material substitution in ERP E-commerce

    Hi Gurus,
    We are implementing SAP ERP E-commerce with TREX, ECC 6.0 backend.
    Automatic material substitution is working in ECC. The material is also dispalying a warining message before substitution.
    In B2B shop the substituion works - material X is replaced with matereial y but there is no warning message during substituion.
    I believe matereial substituion in E-commerce is standard funtionality and it should work as configured in ECC for VA01.
    Any susgestion why there is no dispaly of any message during matereial sub in E-commerce.
    Thank you

    Hi Ram,
    What type of messags can be displayed on ECO ERP can be configured via XCM "UI" component. By default only error messages are displayed, You can create a customer component with message  severity set to 'Warning" / "info" as required. After this all the messages raised by the Standard BAPIs are displayed on the basket.
    However you need to be careful what severity level you want to use as apart from the message that you require, lot of other messages might also be displayed on the basket.

  • 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.

  • Material not listed for destination country

    Hi Gurus,
    i have an error when i create a Sales Order...
    "Material TEST not listed for destination country US"
    Can anyone help me to fix this error?
    regards
    Kumara

    Hi Kumaran...
    This is clearly the case of Material listing....
    This is happening just because for that particular customer/Country  you might have made the configuration through material determination that, he can order materials only which is listed to him.
    In other words, That customer/Country  can only order the materials which is in the list created by you through material determination.
    If you desire to add this material to the list... go to Tcode VBO1 (its 'o1" not 'zero 1') and select the type as A001 (Listing). Just check weather the material is listed there.. if not.. add the material to the list.
    Hope this help.. Reward if this is informative...
    Thanks,

    The Stock Overview (MMBE) provides an overview of all stocks of a material over all organizational levels (see also Stocks, Plant and Storage Location).
    Information
    This allows you to display data (master data, transaction/movement data) from other applications. Example: Displaying a purchase order.
    Balance display
    This provides reports on the GR/IR clearing account (MB5S).
    Consignment
    You can use this to display all information on consignment stocks. Example: Displaying vendor consignment stocks (MB54).

To extend the current layout (basic list) or select another existing layout, choose Settings ® Layout. You can also create your own layouts and choose them on the initial screen. For more information on the SAP List Viewer, see the SAP List Viewer component.
    To recognize any data inconsistencies in your system early on, we recommend you run the following reports regularly, for example, monthly or at year-end closing:

    with regards
    laxmipathi

    Hi,
    1. first define a checking group and assign this in material master.(ovz2)
    2.define a checking rule 01 for created orders and 02 for released orders.(spro)
    3.define the scope of check .(opjj)
    4.define the checking control.(opjk)
    when you define all these the system will automatically checks the material availability during production order creation or release.
    you can also do it in co24 by entering order number or material number.

  • Material Pull List

    Hi All,
    Can anyone explain me what exactly mean Material Pull List?. What is the use of this list and what T-Code do we use to see the Material Pull List.
    Thanks in advance

    T.Code - MF60
    Purpose
    The pull list controls the in-house flow of material for supplying production with materials. The system assumes that the components required for production have already been produced in-house or procured externally and are now available to be transferred from main stores to the production storage location.
    The pull list checks the stock situation at the production storage location and calculates the quantities of missing parts. Replenishment elements are created for these missing parts. Components are staged using stock transfer reservations.
    Integration
    The pull list is an integral part of repetitive manufacturing and shop floor control.
    The basis of replenishment planning is MRP - the component requirements are calculated in the MRP run. The system takes requirements from run schedule quantities and manual reservations into account.
    Prerequisites
    The pull list is to be used in the scenario, where components are stored in Central stores & are then transferred to shop storage location for production. If the components are stored & consumed from same shop storage location only, then pull list is not applicable.
    Constraints
    It is not the primary task of the pull list to determine the location of the required components.
    The pull list is primarily responsible for planning material staging (calculating missing parts and initiating replenishment) by creating stock transfer reservations in the form of replenishment elements. The actual staging is carried out by Central stores person.
