Material substitution with BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2

Hi, I'm creating sales orders with BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2 in background, I have some materials that have substitutes, but when I use the bapi, the material is does not change. When I create the sales order manually in the VA01, the material is replaced.
thanks.

It should behave exactly the same. Usually when you run something online, there are certain fields that get defaulted and you will not notice. But when you call the BAPI, you have to pass those default values as well so that you will see the same result. You will have try it out in a couple of different ways and also debug the code where it decides whether or not substitution allowed and you can trace it back to the value that is missing.

  • Material configuration with BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2

    Hi there,
    I am trying to create a new sales order with material configuration using BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2. It's not working though. I have seen some comments that it is not possible to create configuration directly with this BAPI - is this really true? - and that the config should be created after sales order creation using function CE_C_PROCESSING.
    I have played around a bit, but without succes. Could somebody help me out?
    Kins regards,
    Roy

    Hi, you can use this BAPI to create a sales order with configurable material.
    Fisrt you can try with some hardcode config items.
    You need the corresponding 'Characteristic values' in your system
    eg:
    *Header data

      wa_header-sales_org  = '1020'.

  • 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.

  • Having Multiple Material Codes with Different Profit Centers in one Plant

    Hi,
    Can someone explain me what impact it will have, if there are different Material Codes with multiple profit centers in a single plant? For example, say Material 1 has Profit Center as PC1 and Material 2 has Profit Center as PC2 and they are in a single plant. Will this have impact on Financial Transactions?
    Thanks and Regards,
    Sameer Joshi

    Hi Sameer
    No negative impact.. It is very much possible and logical
    All the purchases made - > Stocks and vendor liability will be tagged to the PC of the Material
    All the sales made -> COGS, Revenue and Customer Liability will be tagged to the PC of the material, unless you overwrite using a Substitution

  • Material determination with Product selection

    Hi SAP Gurus
    We are using material determination with product selection. The process is that customer will send in one product in a sales order. At the time of doing ATP we have to look for about three or four possible alternatives and confirm that alternative which has the highest stock level depending on the ATP situation. We have configured material determination with SAP standard substitution reason’0006’ to take care of this. The problem with this is that this creates two line items in sales order as the item substituted is shown as a sub-item of the material entered. We do not want to have two line items in a sales order for this. Is there a way we can do material determination with product selection (Based on ATP) and have the item substituted replace the item entered in a sales order? In other words we do not want to see two line items in a sales order. The substitute item should simply replace the original item and the material entered could be stored in field VBAP-MATWA. I have gone through all the standard SAP documentation which clearly states that in order to material determination based on ATP we have to use outcome A or B both of which create a sub-item.
    I was wondering if there is any workaround or if there is any user exit in which we can replace the original item with the substituted item?? Any help or any direction will be highly appreciated.
    Another question is if we were to use APO for doing global/Rule based ATP is it possible to get rid of the double line items. We have also tried to use rule based ATP in APO and use product/location substitution in our sandbox system to see if we can get back only one line item. But even in that case we do get a sub item. Any help on this issue will be greatly appreciated. You can also send me an e-mail at [email protected]

  • 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.

  • Creation of Material Documents With Mvt Type

    On Performing Post Goods Issue (PGI) in one Plant in case of Plant to Plant Dispatches, there should be Inbound delivery created for already created Purchase Order (PO). In addition after creation of inbound delivery, there should be material document created with 103 movement. This Material document is triggered when the inbound delivery is saved. Once Warehouse processes are finished, then Post Goods Receipt (PGR) happens, so 101 Movement Type happens for Purchase Order. PGR document should trigger one more material document with 104 movements; this document is reversal for material document with 103 movement type.
    can any one suggest to enhance SAP for this?

    Hi Nitin,
    Before creating the Service type of product, you have to define the Base category for Service type product. Generally the category for service will be created under the R3 hierarchy R3PRODSTYPE. You can create this category using the TCode:
    COMM_HIERARCHY. Here you have to select the product type as Service and have to assign the set types to the category.
    You can create a service product using the transaction : COMMPR01 -> Click on Service ICON -> Select the Category for Service Type. Then fill in the details for Service Product description, Service ID(Based on number range settings for products), Language.
    Also fill other details like Base Unit of measure, Pricing condition for different sales areas for the service product.
    Since you are using CRM7.0, you can do all these activities using a POWER USER role.
    For more information about Set types and hierarchies please refer the following help link:

  • Report For list of material Master with PO text

    Hi all,
    I need a report whether it is available in Standard SAP or a customized, for List of Material Master with their PO text.
    If any one can help, please reply to this theard.
    Regards,
    Kapil Kulkarni

    To get the material number combined with the PO text you will need the help of an ABAP programmer.  The programmer can create a report for you using the function module READ_TEXT in the function group STXD.  The tables to use are:
    STXH - STXD SAPscript text file header
    STXL - STXD SAPscript text file lines
    The selection screen should have at least the following:
    OBJECT - STXH-TDOBJECT
    NAME - STXH-TDNAME
    LANGUAGE - STXH-TDSPRAS
    TEXTID - STXH-TDID
    You find the information for these fields by going to the PO text entry screen and displaying the header information under Goto -> Header.  For materials, the object is MATERIAL, the name is "material number", the language is "EN", and the text ID is BEST.  You can use this program to get long text in lots of places like information records, purchase order texts, etc.
    Hope this helps.

  • Find Material Document with Movement type 103 for material document 105

    Hi experts,
    In PO History, I have three line items with movement type 103 (Blocked Stock) and one with movement type 105 (From blocked stock to unrestricted stock). I would like to know the material document with movement type 105 document that has the movement type 103.

    Hi,
      you can get the material documents (mblnr) for the movement type(bwart) in table AUFK.
    But i think you need to pass some other data along with bwart like matnr or aufnr for getting the correct mblnr.

  • Not able to create a material document with movement type 103

    I am not able to create a material document with movement type 103,

    How do I create a matdoc with movement type 103?

    What is the error you receive? Please specify with message number.
    On MIGO, you need to change the default value mvmt type value to 103 before you enter the PO number to be able to do 103.
    Once this defualt value is set, you can enter the PO and item number in the document number fields and proceed with 103.
    But you cannot change the mvmt type for already entered items from 101-103 or vice versa.
    I think the 101-103 and 103-101 mvmt type conversion message is standard error message

  • To fill in the material number with item category u201CBu201D for Framework Order.

    The use of framework orders (also referred to as blanket purchase orders)  enables you to procure a variety of materials or services from a vendor up to a predefined maximum value (the value limit).
    Instead of a specific delivery date, you specify a validity period for the order.
    Goods receipts or the entry and acceptance of services performed are not necessary in the case of a framework PO and limit items.
    The invoices are posted directly with reference to the purchase order, provided that the specified value limit is not exceeded. When the value limit of the PO is reached, or the validity period is exceeded, the system issues a warning message. It is possible to book the invoices, but these are blocked for payment.
    During the phase of service performance, the cumulative u201Cactual" values (for the services actually performed) are continually updated in the underlying purchase. This enables you to monitor the progress of a procurement project on an ongoing basis. By comparing the "actual" value with the total value, you can always obtain an overview of the degree to which a budget for unplanned services or materials has been exhausted (i.e. see whether predefined limits have been reached or nearly reached).
    So with the Framework Order type (FO) and item category u201CBu201D you get the error that it is not allowed to fill in the material number with item category u201CBu201D.
    Please suggest me the possible solution to fill in the material number with item category u201CBu201D for Framework Order.

    The Framework order type is specialy defined for lesser value procurements (ex: stationeries, cleaning services ....) which are all not worthy to create Material Master at all.
    If you are very sure to fill the Material number, then proceed with some other document type.
    In what circumstances you want to put material number in FO order?
