Materials in project

Hello Everybody,
The material procurement and production scenario for project at my client's place is as follows
For example, project structure has four WBS Elements as WBS 1, WBS 2, WBS 3, and WBS 4
Material procuremet for production occures under Each WBS Element (Ex. Part A being procured under WBS 1, Part B procured under WBS 2 an Part C procured under WBS 3)
A finished product (BOM consists of Part A, B and C) is attached under WBS 4 and production order is triggered for the same under WBS 4
Requirements -
Should able to do GI to production order from WBS 1, 2 and 3
After MRP run on finished product, system should consider the stock available under WBS 1, 2 and 3 and not generate the PR again (shoul not duplicate PR)
Request you to kindly give valuable inputs
Thanks in advance
Regards,
Parimal

Hi Vivek,
Thanks for your reply.
The example which i gave in my question is just a simple one. In practice, there are several WBS elements under which procurement will happen.
We cant combine all components under one WBS element because requirement of individual cost monitoring and having different requirement dates.
The requirement is -
We need to add and procure all components under different WBS Elements (Cost of procurement should go under different WBS Elements)
But when we do GR of the components, we need quantities uner one WBS element and costs under different WBS elements.
Please provide your inputs on the same
Thanks

Sale Order Status Change after delivery of materials from projects

have ETO sccenario which consists of all modules such as SD,PS.PP etc. Materials will be procured from external vendors & manufactured inhouse through project systems. After delivery of materials from project systems, billing & invoicing will be done at sales level.
On delivery of materials from projects, sale order status remain open. Request you to look into the matter & suggest about status change of sale order after delivery / billing.

Hi,
In sale order, WBSE is assigned. Delivery of materials are through cns0. then subsequently picking / packing / billing will happen at sales level. Billing is of delivery related. Please suggest to fix the issue.

How do the Procurement of materials from projects?

Hi Friends'
How do the Procurement of materials from project s, here our Process is:
Whenever our engineers on site see any shortages he will send a report thro our customized InfoPath request form. Then we decide depending on the material whether to order to USA or Procure locally. Some mechanical parts we procure locally. For this in PR we give reference of WBS element. Purchase department raise PO, we receive material, sent to site And finally we charge USA(parent Company) for this amount against this project.
For the items like electronic cards, Critical mechanical parts to be ordered to USA we send the InfoPath form to USA. We get weekly shipments from USA. We create PR and also PO. No action by our purchase dept. The FREE OF CHARGE (FOC) material is received to us. Stores will do MIGO and then we dispatch to Site.
Friends please suggest how to do this Process through project systems. I need the entire configuration setting that we need to do and the process also, plz friends... I need these settings step by step.
Regards,
Hari

suggest attend course PLM220
If using only WBS then you have to raise PR from MM module and the material demand will not be driven from PS (except Easy Cost Planning)
If using networks then assign material component to network activity and set the item category as non stock item - this will trigger PR from activity

Delivery of materials from Projects

Dear All,
I am facing some problems while delivery of materials from Project. The various modules for the business process consist of SD-PS-MM-PP etc. Equipment will be manufactured in-house & the same will be delivered to project.

tnx in advance

Hi,
Here you are talking about Subcontracting Scenario.
If you need to transfere the project stock to vendor, then you will need to do 2 steps:
1. Transfer the Project stock to own (unrestricted use) stock. (411 Q)
2. Transfer the Own stock to vendor. (541)

Partial return of materials of projects

Hello experts
Exists the way in which at the time of making a return of materials (222Q) in reference to the exit document (221Q) the given back amount is entered respecting the cost of the material recorded in the exit, avoiding that uses the cost of the material in warehouse in the day of the return (222Q)?
The type of valuation in materials that handling is variable V average price.
Greetings and Thanks

Partial Delivery of Materials from Projects

Dear All,
I have one scenario where, delivery of semifinished items from projects will take place partially i.e. to be despatched in lot. As semifinished items are consumed in FERT item, while making delivery from project (cns0), in material components field, semifinished items are n't displaying for despatch.
I would like request to put your suggestion on this.
Thank you in advance.
Regards,
Biplab

Hi,
The scenario is like this. FERT item will be asigned to network activity of project. Afterwards MRP run to generate the requirments for BOM components e.g. FERT / HALB item. FERT item will be manufactured by consuming HALB items. On readiness FERT, the same will be inspected & dismantled into HALB items. All HALB items will be despatched in lot.
While making delivery in cns0, only FERT item quantity is coming. But i need to deliver HALB items only.
Request you to suggest me on this.
Best Regards,
Ranjan

Tracking of materials for a turnkey project

Hi Gurus,
We have projects going on in our company.
The projects are given on total cost basis i.e. the vendor will bring all the material and install the project.
The vendor is keeping track of all the materials.
A service PO is created in the system and on periodic basis payments are made to the vendor. We cannot receive the project material in the system as valuated stock as it is vendors material.
Now the problem is, due to some materials the project gets delayed. We need to track the materials.
It was suggested that we create a notional plant for projects. All the material types are made qty relevant only.
Then, Create a PO, do GRN and all the issues in the system.
A custom made report could be used to study the movement of the materials and can be used to track the project.
But the problem is when I Create a PO for the material (non valuated in the new Plant) system is asking for an account assignment.
When doing the GRN an accounting document is created and this becomes a valuated GR. so the GR/IR account will have to be cleared by MIRO.
This is not acceptable to the Finance.
Please advice as to how to track the non valuated flow of material.

Hi Rahul,
If you want to take a stock in the system you have to create material master and create a PO.
As a consultant you should explain this to your client.
Do you know how to copy a single column in multiple rows in PO?
Enter the value in the 1st row>Select the column you want to copy the values>select the "copy verticaly" button at the bottom of the item tab (The middle tab).
The value will be copied to all the rows following the 1st row.
This will not take more than 15 seconds.
You need not go and tick each and every row.

Materials for Single wbs Element from project/Plant stock

Hi to all,
I would like to have the following scenarios for the single Project.
1) Some Activities in the single WBS Element will be using the Materials for specific to the Project. So MRP will be generated for the Project and PR,PO,Goods receipt will be done.
2) In the same WBS Element of some activity, wants to consume materials from the Plant stock. For this we donu2019t want to run MRP. From the reservation no, we want to take the materials for project use.
I have a single Network profile and I donu2019t want to create anymore.
Understand from movement type 411, we can take the materials from unrestricted Plant stock to project. Is there any other way/any config I need to check in account assignment category to fulfill the requirement to consume from Plant stock and also to use Project stock in a single profile.
Regards
N.Raju

Hi,
that is the only option, Std. SAP does not support for unrestricted plant stock ( for Project MRP or availability check).
same option-
1) transfer free stock( plant stock) to respective WBSE
2) Run MRP
3) Consume material.

Project stock and MD51 (or MD03) use with nonvaluated materials (ie ERSA)

I am looking for some help on a CBP(consumption based planning project) we are implementing for materials we treat financially as non-valuated in our
business. MD51 works for valued materials with project stock for us in CBP, but not for non-valuated. I am wondering if we are missing master data or
configuration or limitation or MD51 ? Our scenario:
- We are using material types ROH and ERSA with material type configuration for valuation tracking disabled.
- We stock these materials in project stock with a WBS that is non-valuated and assigned via naming to a supplier name.
- Materials are currently being planned on a external to our SAP system , so no CBP running yet.
- Purchase Requisitions and planned orders are coded for "Q" account assignment for ordering and received against.
- I have MRP2 view /individual collective set to '1' for these materials.
I don't see MD51 when being run for the WBS element for these materials even considering these for CBP run. It ignores with no planning
occurring.
Any thoughts appreciated.

Hello
Please observe that, even if you have defined a consumption based MRP type for the material, system automatically switches to the standard PD.

Sales order stock from Projects

Dear Gurus,
The Scenerio is,
I am procuring materials through project. Generally it will go into project stock, If it is mentioned as a stock item. But my requirement is, the procured material has to go into salesorder stock.( Bcoz delivery of material happening in SD thrpugh sales order.) Is that possible? If yes, what are all the settings, I have to do in PS module and other modules,if required. But the cost(Planned/Actual) has to be captured against Project.
Awaiting for your reply.
Regards
Suresh

Hi,
When you are creating a PR from project , the "OPTT" customizing
1.Should have the "D" setting for "Sales Doc- Project" setting.
and in the sales order that is relevant to the project , you must have the WBS element assignment
Both the project and the Sales order should have the material ! project having it as being procured ( to take care of PR & PO generation )
and the SO having the material as being delivered ( to do the delivery and billing of the material supplied )
The Sales order should have the material production or procurement getting triggered through the item category ( and the material master's MRP Type ) and the requirement type !!
All these settings once maintained, you can have GR of material to Sales order stock !

M.Amarendra

Subcontracting for Project

Dear SAP Guru,
In my organization, the business requirement is to use subcontracting process for project.
I maintain the movement type 311 Q for subcontracting process, but at the time of reconciliation of subcontracting Challan, the system does not refer the stock transfer material docuement.
Movement type 541 (for subcontracting) does refer the project stock.

Hi,
Subcontracting for Project Stock: -
Purpose: - Subcontracting is also possible in conjunction with Project stocks. The subcontracting orders are account-assigned to a Project. Thus, the components are not transferred (using a transfer posting) to the "stock of material provided to vendor" but are directly withdrawn from the Project stock the time of the goods receipt. The material manufactured is also posted to the Project stock.
The cost of subcontracting is then debited to the Project.
Since the components are not transferred to the "stock of material provided to vendor", it is recommend that you use a transfer posting to transfer the provided components to a new storage location (for example, 9999). This enables you to obtain an overview of those stocks that are physically located at the subcontractor. This information is particularly important when you carry out a physical inventory of the Project stocks.
Features: -
Withdrawal from Stock of Mat. Provided or Project: -
For components that are managed in Project stock, you can define whether the components are to be withdrawn directly from each Project or from the stock of material provided to vendor. You manage this via the dependent requirements indicator for individual customer requirements and collective requirements (MARC-SBDKZ).
You can maintain this indicator in the following places:
In the MRP view of the material master record (MRP 4)
In the explosion types for the BOM item (in Customizing for Production in the step Basic Data -> Bill of Material -> Item Data -> Define explosion types)
Configuring the explosion types has priority over the configuration in Inventory Management.
If the indicator is set at Collective requirements only (2), the materials are withdrawn from the stock of material provided to vendor. If this indicator is set any other way, the system withdraws materials from Project stock.
Here all the processes will remain same except; MB1B - Do Transfer Posting of material from RM Warehouse to this Storage Location via movement type "311 Q" (Instead of doing 541)

Customer stock in projects

Hi All,
How to maintain customer stocks in projects.
When a customer gives some materials for project execution, some cases it wil be consumed and some cases it should be returned to the customer.
Is it possible to have F stock in projects?
Regards
Prasad

Hi,
If you are using PS module, you can use WBS to segregate by project and hence by customer. In this way you can use the functionality of PS to track Q (project) stock.
Thanks,
Venkat
