Material With Different Makes
Guys ,
The client where our Implementation is going on , has material like motors , pumps etc. of different makes like Siemens, Kirloskar etc. in his stock.
What I would like to know , should we maintain Material Master for different makes.
If I do that, than I end up making lot of Material Masters.
Kindly suggest solution
Hello Friend
This suggestion is from different perspective hence think which ever is viable for your requirement.
How about going with Split valuation using one material code
The SAP R/3 System allows you to valuate stocks of a material either together or separately, that is, according to different valuation criteria. Split valuation is necessary if, for example:
1. Stock from in-house production has a different valuation price than externally procured stock.
2. Stock obtained from one manufacturer is valuated at a different price than stock obtained from another manufacturer.
3. Different batch stocks of a material have different valuation prices.
4. Value damaged and repair part differently from a new part.

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.DhanemkulaHi 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.

Putaway Strategy I, not allowing second material with different batch
Hi all,
Can someone please help me to understand where is the problem
My config is
Strg Typ 401
Putaway Strategy I
Capacity check - 4
Mixed storage: X
Addition to existing stock: X
Storage section check -active
Storage bin created for the storage section in the storage type 401
Maximum capacity maintained in Storage bin
In material master WM view 1- maintained capacity.
When system is correctly finding Bin for First material / Batch combination
But when I am trying to create TO for same material with different batch it does not find storage bin - even the storage bin capacity is still remaining
Also it is not accepting second material in same bin.
The only requirement to have startegy I is that same materials can be placed in same Bins (sorry but dont need fixed bin)
ThanksHi Hiren,
You are correct I forgot to mention that in my earlier reply. Actually with out storage unit you can store only one quant in a Bin. So it can add stock to the same quant if we use addition to existing sock feature. If the material batch combination changes it cannot use the same quant, so it wont be able to add the stock to existing quant. If a new quant is to be stored in the same BIN it has to be storage unit managed. To in nutshell multi material multi batch your scenario can be achieved with storage unit managed storage type.
For storage unit setup you can refer below link.
Storage Unit Management - Warehouse Management System (WMS) - SAP Library
If you find this useful please close the tread.

Tcode MB1B (Transfer Postings) material with different Valuation class
Hi,
is it possible to avoide tcoce MB1B for material with different valuation class?
Materia1 (001000) has valuation class: 3000
Materia2 (300000) has valuation class: 7900
I don't want allowed MB1B with Material1 (3000) to Material2 (7900).
Thanks.

Follow up material with different base unit of measure
Hi all,
I have the BOM with material Mat1 as a component. The base unit of measure of Mat1 is KG.
Is it possible to replace Mat1 with Mat 2 material in MRP once the Mat1 warehouse stock is depleted.
The base unit of measure of Mat 2 is KGK.
The required quantity of MAT1 should be recalculated from KG to KGK accordanly unit ratio.
Please, expain, where does it maintain?
Thanks,
PeterHello Peter,
You can use follow-up setting (set Mat2 as follow-up of Mat1 in MRP 4 view of material master if this follow-up scenario is valid for all BOM) with discontinuation indicator '1', w/o effective-out date. In this case Mat1's stock will run out (no PldOrd, PR, etc) will be created, and from the date, when Mat1's stock runs out, MRP will calculate with Mat2.
As I told you, according to my best knowledge, you cannot realize this with different base unit of measures. (you have to change the buom of one of the related material masters or create a new material master if you cannot cope with buom-change).
Follow-up group scenario can also be used but I guess different buoms will be a problem in that case as well.
Maybe there are better solution but I'm not aware of it...

Same material with Different qualities
Dear Experts,
Please give me the solution for mentioned issue ....
I have to maintain the same material which has different qualities (grades) and according to these qualities, the material rate is different. i have near about 50 different qualities for the same material and 50 different rates.
My every vendor is supplying this material for 50 different qualities and rates. So in this case to maintain the individual material prices is big challenge.
If i will maintain Info records, i have to maintain 200000 info record. and also there is possibility of price change for every three months.
So please give me any other alternative solution for the problem.Hi Vijay,

How to Upload different Material with Different Selection View
Hello Experts!
Iu2019m new in ABAP and trying to understand methods of LSMW. Now I get a question for you guys. Let say I need to upload 10 different materials. Now for instance.
1st material has Basic data 1 and Basic data 2.
2nd material has Basic data 1, Purchasing and Purchase Order text
3rd material has Basic data 1, Classification, Purchasing, MRP 1, MRP 2 & MRP 3.
4th material has Basic data 1 & Basic data 2.
5th material has Basic data 1, Classification, Purchasing, MRP 1, MRP 2 & MRP 3.
And so on. Now here Iu2019ve notice that every material has different INDUSTRY SECTOR, MATERIAL TYPE AND SELECTION VIEWS. I understand that Industry Sector, Material Type and other data I can specify in my file but how I can control SELECTION VIEWS for different materials. Because for different Selection view coming screens will become different accordingly.
So can somebody can please tell me how I can control different select views for different material and upload it in SAP.
Thanks.Hi
I understand that you are performing LSMW on MM01 transaction code..and are uploading through batch input in LSMW.
Actually, for a tcode like MM01 I dont think you should use LSMW, instead you can go with the BAPI: BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA.
The views is a serious problem with MM01 when performing using batch input..
So, go through the documentation in SE37 tcode for the BAPI...
The information you get there will help you on how to proceed.

Material with Different grades
Dear Guru's,
Here in my client, for one material they are having 5 different grades based on the quality, Like A,B,C,D & E
How we need to maintain them in single mmr, because they are procuring @ different prices based on the quality.
My PP guy dont want different material #, based on grades, due to problem in BOM, can i maintain these grades in single mmr or is there any better way to manage this ?
pls suggest

Use split valuation...by this you can procure same materials with different valuation type...
Split valuation refers to the valuation type on a material master. Typically, organisations will want to track material costs, for example, for new, used or repaired stock. The valuation type field on the material master allows you to track this stock separately, and specify what type of stock is being moved or purchased, and charge appropriately. There are follow-on effects, of course, in finance account assignments etc.

Material with different concentration in one storage location
We are working in a chemical industry that make caustic soda they are selling two material of caustic soda with two different concentrations (33% and 50%). Problem is that they move caustic 33% (one material) in to one storage location at the same time the move caustic 50%(second material) in the same material tank. In this way the concentrations of caustic change say 45%. If they want to increase the concentration they move caustics with greater concentration to make this stock to 50%. How to handle this situation. Every time the move these two materials in a same tank materials concentration changes.
Regards
AhmedAhmed,
Can you please let us know,
1. Is your material batch managed? If yes would you have multiple batches in the storage location?
2. How is the material transferred to the tank? Is it through manual 311 movement?

MIRO, enter one material with different price
Hi Experts,
i have one PO and the material number is 20MTF70301, the quantitiy is 3. Because of the material price is different(same material number) i need the enter them line by line. For example;
Material Plant D/C Amount Quantity
20MTF70301 1015 S Debit 1917,30 1
20MTF70301 1015 S Debit 794,55 1
20MTF70301 1015 S Debit 249,39- 1
But the system warning is like that "Double entries for material 20MTF70301 1015 are deleted". After this warning , system automatically delete last 2 line.
How can i enter same material line by line.
Thanks,Hi
It will naturally delete the two last items, just understand, You have the same material same vendor but want to have 3 different prices in three lines in One PO, are you not contradicting the basic idea which SAP follows, how do the in-fo recoprd will get updated? with which price?
It is not that you can not do , but for that you have to go for another PO for a different price and the vendor but not in the same PO.

Creating a Material with different values for fields in Transaction MM01
Hello All,
While creating a material i will be giving a Profit Center in Sales:general/plant view, which i can see in Costing1 View. If i change this in this View it automatically changes in the other View. Is there any way to give different values in the two views or then what is the significance in showing the same field again in two different views.
Thanks,
Shashidhar.Hi,
Its just a way of showing the data in different views for user. It doesn't have any significance.

Same Material with Different G/L Account

I have a material X is for HALB .I want use X is for Stock Material and as well as Special Procurement Q i.e Project stock.Those stock should be posted to different G/L account.Is it possible can anyone put me on this.

govindHi,
1.
Generally, split valuation is to valuate the same material differently based on various criteria (external/internal procurement, country of origin, etc)

2.
However, (independently form the topic of split valuation), you can maintain separate valuation class for project stock. Check Accounting1 view of material master and you will find a separate field for this purpose (MBEW-QKLAS, 'Proj. stk. val. class')

Material with different Valuation types in WM Stock status
Hi
If we are maintaining stocks of different valuation types in a Plant , and the Storage Location in the Plant is Warehouse Managed, then how can we see the stocks in different valuation types in the Warehouse stock?
thanks
RajHi Keerthan,
It will not be possible to change or add valuation type after the material movement is performed for the material. Only option is to create new materials.
In case if the materials are not involved in any material movement, then you can change valuation type. Best thing will be executing via LSMW.

MF60 scenario - same material with different orders
Hello,
I am using MF60 to transfer the stock from raw material location to Production location. I transfers the goods based on each production order.
Now the scenario is: I have two tins of paint each weight 20 kg.
My current order needs 8 kg of paint and it would take 3 days to finish the order(on Machine A). It means rest of the 12kg would be available after 3days.
Now I am creating 2nd order(on Machine B) of smaller qty and that order requires 2 kg of the same paint. I have to use the 2nd tin of paint. Now when I try to use MF60, system does not propose me qty (as 12 kg paint is already available in Production location but canu2019t be used as it is on machine A).
So please suggest me, how I can transfer the material to production location using MF60. I donot want to use the MB1B.
kind regards,
JPSHello Mangalraj.S,
I have checked with workcenter also (removing the selection date) and set the 'all requirements' in global setting.
But it does not showed the particular components (against the order in question) but does showing those other which needs higer quanties
Can you please explain more in detail regarding your requirement?-- The requirement is that If I have two tins of paint (20kg each), if first order require needs 8kg (but rest of the 12kg won't be available physically), Now in the 2nd order which needs 5kg. System does not propose the requirement in MF60 (I believe because of there is 12 kg already available in prod location on the system)
Also please execute the pull list by giving the work center as the input and do not specify any date in the selection horizon for
requirements.Include the check for include all requirements under global settings.---- I did opt the same settings but it is not propsing 2nd order requirements
In the second tab production/process orders,just give the input as the work center and check for the same.---- In the 2nd tab I did try with workcenter but..... (I am not a PP expert, this is the first time I am working on PP, So I have created the routing without workcenter and assings the workcenter in prod order only)
