Materials stored at other company's plant (belonging to the same group)

Hello all,
I have a scneario where a number of companies belong to the same group of companies. There are cases where on company stores its goods (spare parts) to the plants of another company of the group. Is Consignment the best way to manage the scenario?
Thanks for any help/advice

Hmmm. We had a similar need, but in our case the two companies run two different SAP systems. But actually you can implement the same in your system too - it requires some programming, but it is a "cleaner" solution for each one of the companies.
In the supplying company you have customer consignment stock located at the internal customer; in the hosting company you have vendor consignment stock belonging to the internal vendor. When the "customer" company needs more consignment material, it places a consignment PO (item category K). This PO gets replicated (in our case it is ALE between two systems; in your system it can be ALE from your system to the same system) to the consignment fill-up order (sales order of type KB) at the other company. When the supplying company makes the delivery, it delivers against that consignment fill-up order. When the "customer" company receives the shipment, it posts GR against the consignment PO.
The same for the usage of the material. Goods issue transactions are accumulated and trs MRKO generates vendor invoice. This invoice is communicated via ALE to the selling company (again, inside the same system). In standard SAP this is output type KON6 connected to message type GSVERF, but we connected it to ORDERS instead, so that it can generate KE order in the supplying company (consignment issue). The delivery for this KE order is generated automatically by a background job, goods issued and billed.
Well, as I said, it might be overkill for your case, but it will make the work at each one of the companies more "natural". Then if you also want to facilitate transfer of requirements, then just make PReq's be communicated from the customer company to the vendor company and generate "customer requirements" in the demand planning module there. I don't know however how complicated it is to receive these "customer requirements" via ALE.

  • Impact of merging plant B to plant A. Both plants are under the same CoCode

    Hello Gurus,
    May I request please for your assistance on the query I have. We are about to merge plant B to plant A (when i say merge, we'll also merge all existing SLOC under plant B to plant A), and with that I'd like to know if what would be the impact of this merger. Please note that both plants are under the same company code.
    Also, since the plan is to no longer post tansactions for plant B until March, then is it ok to deactivate plant B and it's storloc afterwards? The plan is to complete or close first all open and pending transactions for plant B until March then deactivate it. Is it ok to deactivate it by then? Will it not cause an impact?
    Please help and advise. Your inputs would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you very much in advance.
    Regards,
    Lee T

    Hello Ajay,
    Thank you very much for your response. I have taken note of it. But could you advise if there's an impact if we activate it? What is the impact on the storloc assigned to it? Where should the deactivation take place? Is it in the plant level or storloc level?
    PLease help.
    Thank you very much in advance.

  • ORA-31185 DOM NODES DO NOT BELONG TO THE SAME DOCUMENT

    Hi all,
    I developed an Oracle function that returns a XMLTYPE. In this function, I first created a node <ROOT> and I would like to append children nodes to this root node.
    To create children nodes I loop on a cursor and each iteration of this loop "build" a XMLTYPE node. I would like append this XMLTYPE node to the root node but for now I get the ORA-31185 error !
    Here is the code of my function (simplified version (without use of cursor)):
    CREATE OR REPLACE
    FUNCTION GET_MEDOC2 RETURN XMLTYPE IS
          parent_document DBMS_XMLDOM.DOMDOCUMENT;
       parent_rootnode DBMS_XMLDOM.DOMNODE;
       child_document  DBMS_XMLDOM.DOMDOCUMENT;
       child_rootnode  DBMS_XMLDOM.DOMNODE;
       rootXML XMLTYPE;
       subXML XMLTYPE;
       countLOOP NUMBER;
    BEGIN
        SELECT XMLELEMENT("ROOT") INTO rootXML FROM DUAL;
        parent_document := DBMS_XMLDOM.newDOMDocument(rootXML);
        parent_rootnode := DBMS_XMLDOM.makeNode(DBMS_XMLDOM.getDocumentElement(parent_document));
         FOR countLOOP IN 1..10 LOOP
            SELECT XMLELEMENT("CHILD", countLOOP) INTO subXML FROM DUAL;
            child_document  := DBMS_XMLDOM.newDOMDocument(subXML);
            child_rootnode  := DBMS_XMLDOM.makeNode(DBMS_XMLDOM.getDocumentElement(child_document));   
            child_rootnode := DBMS_XMLDOM.appendchild(parent_rootnode, child_rootnode);  
         END LOOP;
         RETURN rootXML;
    END GET_MEDOC2;When I execute the following :
    SELECT GET_MEDOC2() FROM DUAL;I get the beautiful ORA-31185 DOM NODES DO NOT BELONG TO THE SAME DOCUMENT
    What I expect is an XML like this :
    <ROOT>
        <CHILD>1</CHILD>
        <CHILD>2</CHILD>
        <CHILD>3</CHILD>

        <CHILD>8</CHILD>
        <CHILD>9</CHILD>
        <CHILD>10</CHILD>
    </ROOT>Can someone help me please ? (I'm on Oracle 10.1.0.5.0)
    Thanks

    Hi,
    I get the beautiful ORA-31185 DOM NODES DO NOT BELONG TO THE SAME DOCUMENTYou need function importNode (or adoptNode) to copy nodes across different documents.
    But, do not use DOM manipulation in this case.
    A single query using SQL/XML functions is certainly simpler and more performant :
    SELECT XMLElement("ROOT",
             XMLAgg(
               XMLelement("CHILD",
                 XMLForest(
                   empno
                 , ename
               ) order by empno
           ) as result
    FROM (
      -- your query goes here, e.g. :
      SELECT empno, ename
      FROM scott.emp
    <ROOT>
      <CHILD>
        <EMPNO>7369</EMPNO>

  • Windows 2012 : A domain user who does not belong to the Administrators group can change the passwords

    Hello,
    Can a domain user
    that does not belong to the Administrators group,
    be able to change your password ?
    I tried to create a domain user account
    without administrative access. This user account have
    permission to access Windows Server
    2012 via Remote Desktop.
    I tried to access the same account
    to the Active Directory Users and Computers,
    i was amazed, because the user account it can  changed
    the password for multiple accounts,
    included one administrator account.
    Best regards,

    Hi Ricardo, 
    I agree with Martin, we can check the membership about this user account. Besides, we can refer to following steps to check the memberships:
    Start the ADUC on windows 2012.
    Right-click the user account and select
    Properties, then click the Member Of tab.
    Check which group is the user account belongs to.
    In addition, i suggest you create a new user account, and check if the new account can change other user’s password.

  • I have a serious (and bizarre!) issue with my novation impulse (Although i've tried it with two other keyboards and i still have the same problem) and its compatibility with mainstage 3

    i have a serious (and bizarre!) issue with my novation impulse (Although i've tried it with two other keyboards and i still have the same problem) and its compatibility with mainstage 3.
    the problem is best explained on the following one - page thread: 
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3951518?start=0&tstart=0
    (Clearly i'm not alone in this problem, although i think i figured out what's going wrong a little more than he did...read on!)
    his solution, to put mainstage in jump mode, is very unsatisfactory to me, as it bounces all of a sudden to drastically different settings.
    basically, my analysis is that my controller is NOT receiving MIDI date from mainstage.  in other words, mainstage knows what my controller is doing, but my controller doens't know what mainstage is doing.
     let's say i turn the knob all the way to the right ... 127...and the virtual fader goes to the right like it's supposed to. 
    now...next...let's say i change to a different patch, where that same VIRTUAL fader is not at the max clockwise position..maybe it's only at 1pm.  now when i turn the physical knob to the RIGHT, the midi data is still at 127 on the controller!  it didn't "reset" to sync up with the new level (say 80 or so) setting on the new patch.  so i can't increase that new setting of 80 by continuing to turn the knob to the right.  i have to turn it all the way to zero,...and then continue PAST zero until the controller thinks that IT is at 0...at that point the controller and mainstage are in agreement, and things work fine....so bascially, the keyboard thinks the level is at max...but mainstage thinks the level is at 1pm.
    i am using Logic 9, and i have a macbook pro 2.9 Ghz I7 with 8 gigs of memory and OS X 10.8.4

    Hi Josh,
    Thanks for taking the time to contact us here a Novation for technical support. Lets continue to correspond via email so we can get your issue resolved.
