Material Type for Byproduct & Scrap - Used again as a raw material

Hai Everybody,
I am having a material which is a Byproduct & Scrap of final product , we are reusing the byproduct & Scrap as a raw material again in our process.
What material Type i have to use?
Regards,
Mohan

Create a material type similar to Semifinished as ZBIP or ZSCRP and mark them as Bi-Products or Co-Product in the material master and also in the BOM with negative quantity.
For costing purposes maitain the apportionment structure for the settlement.
Now you can get this material ouptut as Bi-product or Scrap and use this as even raw material in some other semifinished or finished product BOM.
But in some cases this becomes recursive, take care.
Most of this cases occur when using solvents and recovering the solvents in the process.
Hoep this helps you.

Material type for Vendors Returnable packaging material

Dear all,
I have a scenario where in i am recieving co2 gas from my vendor against a PO.
He is supplying it with cylinders i want to keep track of the cylinders and afetr using the gas want to return the cylinder to vendor.
Now the doubt arises, under which material type should I create this cylinder.
Doubt 1
I thougt of creating under the material type : LEIH, but this material type also contains the purchasing, accounting, sales view and same time in the config of the material type LEIH, value updating is not ticked, which is making me confuse.
Doubt 2
What I felt is, LEIH should be used for the our owns company returnable packaging material , which will go to the customer , but again for this also, these material should be valuated, since they belongs to our own stock , so why in standard SAP, value updation is not there.
Doubt 3
Keeping above 2 points in mind, what should be material type for vendor's returnable packaging material , where I want only qty tracking.
Regards
Nitin

You can copy LEIH and create your own Materia Type say ZLEI. For this material type you can have only General Plant / Storage Data1 view enabled.
Remember, there are 2 materials here:
1. Gas
2. Returnable packaging (cylinder)
You can receive gas on unit basis if you dont want exact tracking (ie in KG). Use any procurement material type.
When you create the PO only mainitan Gas as the material.
When you do the goods receipt against this PO, Click on RTP button, this will create a new line item, automatically and will suggest movement type 501+M. Here enter the no. of cylinders.
You will be able to track the movement of cylinders.

This may be little tough for 10000 sales orders.
1. You have to remove the output record for the irrelevant output record using tcode VV12 for the relevant document type. So now for the document type, the old output wont be triggered.
2. Now, create output records for hte correct output type in VV11 tcode(for the output type BA03) for the document type. Now this output will be triggered for all the document types you are creating from now onwards.
3. To trigger the output type BA03, in all the old orders, you just have to open these sales orders in change mode (VA02), and just save it. When u open it the output type BA03 will be automatically triggered as the master data is maintained in VV11. But because just opening all the 10000 sales orders in VA02 one by one be a mechanical task, you have to think of some tool for this.
May be a CATT procedure can do the trick. Else, you can just create a small program, where you can upload these sales orders and the program will just open these orders in change mode and just saves it (without making any changes). Then the output will be retriggered.
Here again, if you are printing the output directly, it is advisable to trigger the output in batch mode(Date/Time field is 1 in VV11), and then you can again trigger the printing again using the program RSNAST00 after office hours for these 10k orders.
I hope I answered ur query.
Pls lemme know if you need some more info. (You can reward me too...)

Urgent:Material Type for Packaging Material in WM and MM

Hi
There is a place in SPRO where i can define the material type for packaging.
Logistics - General -> Handling Unit Management -> Basics -> Define Packaging Material Types

product,etc.,
It also play vital role on material numbering,material type in comination with plant & valuation class, play vital role in inventory & accoputning.
To Create Material,use t. Code: MM01,
Step-1
Enter Material Code: ( example-Polythene Bag, If External Number Range or leave it blnak)
Enter Industry Sector: ...................

Changing material type for material with history

We needed to change the material type for an existing item with purchasing, inventory and sales history from HAWA to UNBW. We are trying to PGI the first receipt since the change, and are receiving an Account Determination error .
When I look at the material master set-up, I still see records in the MBEW table. UNBW items that are set-up that way from scratch do not have any records in this table. Is this what is driving my error?
I'm guessing that if it is not, there will be some discrepancy between the material, vendor, and capital asset order.
Any insight is appreciated.

even UNBW can have accounting views.
The problem is probably that you just changed the material type and did not change the valuation class in the accounting view accordingly. remove it, and try again.

Material type for BOM that should not create production order

Hello all,
We have following situation in our company:
We ship few products say for e.g A,B,C which are part of higer level BOM for product M1 to the customer, before the actual product M1 is shipped.Currently these ship-a-head products(A,B,C) is also part of BOM for M1.
We need to combine these ship-a-head products A,B,C as one product M2 (thinking of a BOM) and ship that M2 to customer before M1 is shipped.
In that case what could be the material type for product M2 so that MRP won't create any Production orders for M2.
Also wondering Is there any other way, other than creating a BOM that could combine products A,B and C and ship to customer a-head of time.
Thanks,
Sre

Hi,
Please create BOM for Material M2 by using usage other than production..

Material Type for Software

What would be an appropriate material type for sellable software? Dien? Fert? thx

A material type is nothing than a description plus some customized attributes. for one company the predefined material types work right away while others may have to tweak them to their needs.
what is a spare part ERSA for one company, may be a FERT for an other company, it depends on your business.
I am working in a chemical company, a Pipe or an ellbow is just a spare part for us. A company that manufactures pipes and ellbows has those items as FERTs, a company that builds tankfarms has these items as raw materials.
what is a software, probably a FERT for the company that developes it. But the predefined nature of a FERT is quantity and value managed. Which would make sense for software too, if the software is on a CD and the CD in carton.
For a company that buys the software - if it is so expensive like SAP software - it is probably an asset.
you said you do not store software, this means you would need to customize the FERT material type to your personal needs or create an own material type.What other views do you not need in case of software? if you dont store materials, then the MRP views can become obsolete, storage location view is certainly obsolete, WM views are not needed, work scheduling view probably not needed.
Can you manage the material only by value? to my knowledge value only materials are only possible in a retail system.
It is not really possible to give you a recommendation what material type you should use, as this is pretty much dependend to your business and local requirements.

Material type--for non valuated

UNBW (Non-valuated) material type will not work for my project since it does not have sales views. I want any one to suggest<b> standard material type</b> that can be used for non-valuated that has sales view, purchasing, and classification.
my client don't want to add user departments(sales screens) for UNBW or copy it and make a customized one and add sales views to that.
which standard material type would have much similarities as that of a nonvaluated material type.
Please try to answer correctly..feel free to question if not understood.

Hi,I think your clint have known the UNBW (Non-valuated) material type is NO value in the stock,is also NO accounting view(and also NO classification).
What's your clint want to do for the standard material type that can be used for non-valuated?
I try the standard material type as below:
(1)if for the value and quantity NOT into stock in purchasing;
In PO:make a account assignment category so that assign a cost center for the consumpion
(2)if for the value NOT into stock in purchasing,but the quantity into stock;
In PO:deselect the Invoice receipt indicator(If the indicator is not set, the goods are to be delivered free of charge)
(3)if for the value NOT into stock in transporting,but the quantity into stock;
In MIGO select 511 as free-of-charge
(4)if for sale as free-of-charge;
there are two choice,one way for a sale order,or another way for a goods issues

Material Type for Material Determination

Hi Expert,
Is there any spesific/standard material master type for material determination on SD ?
Thanks,
IB

Is there any standard material type for 'Material Entered'
Normal salable materials would be created with HALB or FERT and this is in no way related to material determination. In fact, as everybody asked, if you can explain the business as to why you are comparing material type with material determination, may be you will get the right direction.

Best Material Type for Handling Non-valuated Materials in Distribution

Our distribution business will soon be handling non-valuated material and I am trying to determine the best material type to use. I am considering material type UNBW but would like to know if anyone has advice. We are strictly providing a service to the vendor for handling these non-valuated materials (for example, wood products). We will not purchase or sell the product. Our service consists of receiving the product into inventory from the vendor, tracking the inventory, (in Warehouse Management) and then shipping the material to a customer of the vendor's choosing. For these non-valuating materials, we are paid strictly for our service of warehousing the material and shipping to a customer.
Up until now, our distribution business has distributed only valuated materials, i.e., materials we purchase at a price and sell at a price. We also use vendor consignment. NOTE: This is not a vendor consignment scenario because we never buy the product.
Here are our requirements:
- We don't own the non-valuated product.
- We need to be able to ship these new non-valuated products on the same shipments as the valuated product we own.
- We use handling unit and warehouse management for all of our finished goods.
- We would like to use our existing processes and HU/WM RF transactions to receive and pick the non-valuated product. This means:
1) Creating inbound deliveries and packing into HUs. And applying our HU bar code labels.
2) Physical inventory counts by HU.
3) Creating sales orders that have both the non-valuated materials and valuated materials we own.
4) Creating outbound deliveries and picking via transfer orders in WM.
5) Assigning the outbound deliveries to a shipment.
Questions:
1) Can a UNBW material that will be stocked but not valuated be received into inventory via a PO? Any way to receive into inventory with an inbound delivery without using a PO?
2) Are there any problems with putting a non-valuated material on a sales order with a zero price?
3) Any challenges that other have run into?
Thanks in advance.
Rob

I must be missing something regarding the use of material type UNBW. When I post the goods receipt for a PO with a UNBW material, no inventory is created. When I create the PO, an account assignment is required. I tried both a cost center account assignment (K) and balance sheet account assignment (Z - using a Profit Center). In both cases, I am forced to check the "Free item" checkbox to avoid entering a price; which also seems strange since the material is UNBW.
I have searched everywhere for a "Best Practice" for my scenario with little results. Again, we are simply managing the inventory for a vendor and shipping the inventory to our vendor's customers. So we are acting as a third pary warehouse and shipper for the vendor. We do not buy or sell the inventory - we are paid a monthly service fee by the vendor for warehousing their product and shipping it to their customers. We may ship the product on sales order deliiveries that include both the "non-valuated" product (i.e., free goods we manage for this vendor) and goods that we actually own.
As an alternative, I am wondering if I should look into somehow using vendor consignment with a settlement price (consignment info record price) of zero. Vendor consignment is nice because you can track the stock by vendor. However, we would never truly "settle" with the vendor because we would not be paying the vendor for the inventory and would never own it.
Our business refers to this as "reload business" but I am not sure this is an industry standard term.
Any other thoughts out there?
