Material Variant of a Config Material to take Charac. Values from Sales Ord

Hello Guys,
Is there any way to have a Material Variant for a Configurable Material to take the Characteristic values from a Sales Order instead of Material Master ?
I understand by default Material Variant has fixed characteristic values and is taken from material master......
however here is the situation am in.......
I have a completely MTO scenario where we will making the product from scratch only after we know the characteristic values.......however our Costing Guys want to do standard cost estimate for the Configurable Material somehow......they were able to do Cost Rollup by making the Configurable Material itself as the Material variant of itself (assigning the same Configurable Material # in MRP3 view)............however this broke my design of taking characteristics from the Sales Order...because the Configurable Material is now behaving as Material Variant and taking the default characteristic values from the Material Master....
Note: Our Costing guys donot want to cost settlement at Sales Order level.
Regards,
BRN.

I had exactly the same problem. (configuration "blocked" in SO because the use of material variants for PC purposes...)
SAP help says : To allow you to change the configuration of material variants in the sales order, the Configuration allowed or required indicator must be set in Customizing for Sales and Distribution. The requirements class is determined using the strategy group and requirements type defined in the material master.
The req. class parameter, mentioned not very clearly by the SAP help, that allows changing the characteristic values of a material variant during the SO configuration is V_T459K-KONFI and value must be either * or +
Hint: A quick check can be done In the SO entry: go to the procurement tab and replace your requirement type by KEL, you'll see that configuration is "open"
Hope this helps

How to take the values from a String ( CSV   values).

Hi All,
I am passing csv String to a procedure as in parameter,but I have to take the values from a csv String one by one.Please let me know Is there any StringTokenizer function in oracle to take values like in java. Here is my javacode.
import java.util.StringTokenizer;
public class Sample {
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          String s="one,two,three,four,five";
          StringTokenizer stringTokenizer=new StringTokenizer(s,",");
          System.out.println( stringTokenizer.countTokens());
          System.out.println(stringTokenizer.hasMoreTokens());
          while(stringTokenizer.hasMoreTokens()){
                    System.out.print(stringTokenizer.nextToken());
o/p: one two three four five

Something based around one of these two methods should assist...
select substr( the_string
              , decode( level, 1, 1, instr(the_string,',',1,level-1)+1)
              , decode( instr(the_string,',',1,level), 0, length(the_string), instr(the_string,',',1,level) - decode( level, 1, 0, instr(the_string,',',1,level-1))-1)
              ) the_value
              from ( select '10,12,20,30,30,3,12,12,56' the_string
                     from dual
              connect by level < length(replace(translate(the_string,'01234567890','00000000000'),'0')) + 2
or
SQL> select REGEXP_SUBSTR ('a,b,c,d,e', '[^,]+', 1, level) from dual connect by level<=5

well, i figured out the problem so thought to share with all aswell.
all i changed was the name of the variable from mDept to dept.
java beans has its own set of rules and naming conventions which i have not read much about but this problem had to do sumthing with that!
just changing the name simply works fine!

Delivery-related billing for TAS : take VPRS value from GR or Invoice

Hello,
One my customers currently invoices stock items and Third-Party Items separately. He now wishes to invoice both items together.
In Third-Party standard flow no delivery is needed. In order to invoice both items together I have now activated the delivery for the Third-Party item flow (item category TAS).
I can now invoice both items together based on the common delivery.
I have now another problem regarding the TAS item invoiced...
- In standard flow (third-party processing = order-related billing), the value for VPRS is taken from the MM flow (either from Goods Receipt or from vendor's invoice depending on the customizing) automatically. This is great since the vendor might enter a different cost than the one from the sales order and it is that cost that we need to find in the billing doc and in CO-PA.
- When I do delivery-related billing for my TAS item the VPRS is not updated from MM but is taken from Sales order (thus from material cost) --> incorrect value for my customers's need
I need to do delivery-related billing for item TAS with VPRS in billing doc (SD invoice) = value of MIGO or MIRO
Can anyone indicate me how to do this (user-exit? routine? ....)
Thank you
Regards,
Cynthia

Hi Cynthia,
Anyone, please correct me if i am wrong.
can we do like this for the given situation:
instead of changing TAS functionality, let us have billing relevance G (Order-related billing of the delivery quantity) in the item category for the stock items. so that you can bill both stock item and third party item in one billing document with reference to Order instead of delivery document.
you can have separate Item category for changing in SO for stock item whenever you want to club Third party item and Stock item for billing in the same document.
thanks

Selection of material if no charac value selected or specific charc value

Hi
In Variant configuration, in dependency rule, i have to make for the following requirement:
CHARACTER     CHARACTER VALUE
ABC                   YES
                          NO
Mateiral X has to be selected if CHARACTER VALUE NO selected or if no one character is selected(either YES or NO)
Means only for value YES material should not be selected, otherwise it can be selected for NO and null value.
How to set rule for this in selection condition,BOM assignment.

Dear,
Best and simple way is make value NO as default value for charecter, write selection condition as below in the component where it should be selected if no or null
ABC = 'NO'
i hope this is the best way
one more way which is complicated way by defining a variant table.

Delivery to copy weights,volumes from material master,instead of sales ord

hi,
The weights/volumes get copied from the material master to the sales doc and from the sales doc to the delivery.
We have a issue where proper weights/volumes are not known at the order entry. thus when the new weights etc are noted, they change it in the material master.
could some one please let me know how to configure the system to take the values from the material master for these instead of the sales doc to get the weights/volumes.
that is the delivery doc should get the weight and volume from the material master(changed values)
Appreciate your help on this.
Thanks & Regards,
Keshini

Hi Keshini
So , lets assume that you have created a sales order for the material MAT1 and it has Net weight 5kg & Gross weight 6kg ,Now the sales order status is open you have not yet delivered that order and you have changed the Net weight 10kg & Gross weight 14kg. So you want to update that open sales order to Net weight 10kg & Gross weight 14kg. If that is the problem then just go to VA05 and give the material (MATNR) and check the box open sales orders then you will get the open sales orders then in the menu you select to carryout the net weight & gross weight there you can change .and then you can do delivery then the updation will take place in the Net weight & Gross weight also

Inactive Material Display from Sales Order screen

Hi Everyone,
In Continuation to my previous thread,
[Suppress Cost Feild in Sales Order;
I want to inactive "Material Display (F8)" from Menu: Enviornment, in Sales Order Screen.
The requirement is that user must not display material related details, mainly cost, from Sales Order screen, itself.
Thanks,
-Sumi.

Hi,
To prevent user from displaying MAterial information from Menu bar refer to the following link form SAP. It has the complete answer to your question although it is for a different module.
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/Snippets/TransactionVariant-AStepbyStepGuidefor+Creation
The procedure would be same, except that in SHd0 transaction code you would be giving VA02 as T.Code instead.
You can feel free to raise your queries if any after going through this link.

How i can make multilanguage application .. take his vlues from database

How i can make multilanguage application .. take his values from database
and can change labels of massages , buttons ,text fields and name of columns in run time
in jdevelpoer11g
great thank

Hi,
I think that there is not a standard support for retrieving multilanguage texts from database in ADF. What we did is to implement our own ResourceBundle that retrieves the translated text from custom database tables. We also introduced a cache for optimizing the access to the translations.
I hope this can help,
Juanjo

Variant config - error Material ZZZ is not copied from the bill of material

Hello guys,
I try to obtain a material configurable in a new plant.
I have more errors and I don't know exactly if the problems are in setting of the variant configuration, or if the problems are in customizing.
When I try to make a Sale Document (Standard Order VA01), the following error occurs:
Material ZZZ is not copied from the bill of material.
Message no. V2003
Diagnosis
When the bill of material was exploded, it was established that no sales document item could be created for material ZZZ.
System Response
The system ignores the material during bill of material explosion.
Procedure
Check if the BOM explosion can be used without material ZZ. If not, delete the main item which lead to the BOM explosion. You may be able to enter an item manually in which the material ZZZ in the BOM.
What do you think it might the solution for this challenge?
Thanks in advance.

hello, friend.
the issue you presented is very broad and requires some more info, such as:
1. what are the item category groups of the material and ZZZ?
2. did you check item category determination in your sales doc type?
regards.

Picking or copying Characteristics Value from material master

Dear Experts,
Please i create five Characteristics which i assign to a Class ( of type 022 ). The Class is then assigned to materials in the classification View of the Material Master.
I want one of the five Characteristics to copy its values from specific parameter value maintaned in the Material Master.
Please assist on how to accomplish this?
I did the following but did not get the desired results; While creating this Characteristic, in the Values Tab, I filled ''MARC'' in the Tablename field & in the Fieldname field, i enter the technical fieldname of the particular field from table MARC which i want.
I want this particular value to be automatically copied into the Characteristics Value field in the Foreground for eacb batch anytime Goods Receipt is done.
after doing this, anytime Goods Receipt is done & a batch number generated, it takes me to the Classification screen, but this particular field which i desire to be auto updated remains blank.
Please assist ?

Hi,
1. This will not automatically updated just as we wil fill the addtional date table and field.
2. you need to write the object dependency to get it updated when you call somewhere
3. Generally in the batch level you will be able to do this .( even you can use function / object dependency )

How to Load Historical values from Material Prices

Hi
I have to load historical values from Material Prices.
I'm using extractors 0CO_PC_ACT_02 and 0CO_PC_ACT_05.
Do you know how I can do this in a easy way?
Help is appreciated.
thanks in advance.
best regards

Hi Joao,
This extractor0CO_PC_ACT_05 takes the data from table MBEW. ( data for the current period, previous period and last period of the previous year )
If material ledger is active, then it takes the information from table ckmlhd for those materials.
It does not look like fetching from MBEWH.
Please validate my above comments with sample extraction for a material and plant.
If that is the case, I would suggest you have to create a custom extractor based on MBEWH to get the historic price data and with 0CO_PC_ACT_05 you can get the prices for the previous period as they get completed .
0CO_PC_ACT_02 gets you the inventory value and not the price in the same way.
You might have to think about 0CO_PC_ACT_06 and 0CO_PC_ACT_07, if you have project stock and sales order stock in your business scenario.
Please let me know, how this goes.
Thanks,
Krishnan.

He material is not displayed as valuated Sale Order Stock

Sale Order has been created and MRP execution is done at MD04.
The Sale Order is released as Production Order.
But when I am executing T Code MBBS I am getting error message syaing
The material is not displayed as valuated Sale Order Stock.
Diagnosis
The system has not found any stock that satisfies the selection criteria entered.
Possible reasons for this are:
The material does not exist. Have you entered the right material number?
Your selection is too restrictive. The system was not able to find any stock that satisfies all selection criteria.
The stock balance is zero.
Procedure
Check all the selection criteria you entered.
Stock overview has displayed enough stock for material.
Please adivse me how Material can be displayed as valuated Sale Order Stock at MBBS.
Regards

Hi,
Check whether the Production order execution is done and any GR has been done against the Order.
Once the above is done, check in MBBS, the stock will sit in the Valuated SO stock.
Even wait for any other replies.
Thanks & Regards,

Mb1b movement 453 - profit center not from material but from sales order

Dear All,
we have the problem that by return process from sales order stock to free stock (453 movement) we would like to have the original Profit center from sales order, but as SAP standard it moves PC from material master.
we have implemented already oss 978159 sowie 1038490, but did not help.
Since days we try to find an uxer exit in MM or CO!? where we could write in the correct profit center. But unfortunately PC from material master pops up at the end of the process, and the system overwrites it again and again.
Had sy of you similair problem? can you please help with an user exit?
Thanks,
BB

Hi
I think this behaviour is correct.. Since you are moving from Sales order stock to Unrestricted stock, the PC from mat master would prevail...
As far as I know, this behaviour is correct
