Max stock level as safety stock from material master while running SNP Heuristic

Hi Experts,
Our user wants to consider max stock level as safety stock from material master while running SNP Heuristic, not the actual safety stock.
Is there any possibility for this setup?
--Kishore

Hi Kishore,
With the given details I suggest that the user can maintain the max stock level values directly in safety stock field of the material master for all materials to be planned by SNP heuristic (keeping the max stock level field blank). Then this safety stock field (which has actually the max stock level values) will update the safety stock values in APO product master and in turn can be considered for SNP heuristic.
Note: The max stock level field in APO product master is used by SNP heuristic only when the target stock level method is maintained as 4, 5 or 6. Since your requirement is to use max stock level as safety stock, so it does not look like that you will be using these target stock level methods or the max stock level field in R/3 and APO. So, this can be left as blank in both R/3 and APO.
Please let me know if this helps.

Umesh

Safety stock and min safety stock

Dear all,
CAn anybody explain me the functional difference between safety stock and min safety stock?
And what is the meanng of safety time?
Karthick

Hi,
Safety Stock:
The quantity of stock to satisfy high requirements. The purpose of the safety stock is to prevent material shortage.
Safety stock as the name suggest is the stock level till which the dead stock or stock out situation will not arise (probable figure based on past data maintained in master).
As such this figure is not stock, it is cut-off figure maintained in master which is used for Planning and once the stock level dips below this value, you can configure system to generate PR, orders automatically. It has its relevance in MRP and CBP.
Safety stock is not used in production.
Minimum Safety Stock
    The quantity that defines the lower limit for safety stock. This value cannot be exceeded.
    The safety is checked to see if it is greater or equal to this lower limit.
    The lower limit is checked if you use an availability indicator which shows, according to customizing settings, if the safety stock is to be calculated again in a forecast. If the safety stock is lower than this level in forecasting, the safety stock is automatically increased to the value of the lower level.
The safety stock must always be greater or equal to this lower level (minimum safety stock)
Hope this will help help you.

Pavan

How to cancel serial no. profile from material master ?

dear all SAP experts,
I have 1 mateial in which i assign serial no. profile in work scheduling view in material master. So how can cancel serial no. profile from material master ?
Suggest me
regards,
Nitin Nerkar

As long as no serial numbers exist for the material you are able to cancel or change the serial number profile.
As soon as serial numbers exist for the material and you want to change or delete the serial number profile, you must note the following:
The previously assigned serial numbers are no longer suited to the current serial number profile.
The indicator for the stock check may have changed. If this is the case, you can copy the profile settings in the serial number using the executable report program RISERNR9. However, you should only start this program once the changes have been updated in the material master record.
You can no longer delete the serial number profile in the material master record. Instead of this, you create a serial number profile without serialization procedures in Customizing and enter this in the material master record.

Storeage location from material master in PO

I have maintained a store location of each material in Material master in view of "General Plant Data / Storage 1". Now my requirement is that whenever I create a PR or PO without PR with material, system will not take by default my store location since I have already maintained in the material master. Even the requirement is same while creating a reservation.. Can any one ans to this please.. Since it is general issue.. It should come from material master as this SAP is such good ERP package why it is not coming by default. It is a really challenging question?
REgards
TG

SAP designed its programs the way it is, they have a field storage location EP to default a storage location to a PO. it just does not make sense for SAP (for perfromance reasons in big companies) to check first if there is only a single storage location maintained together with the auto storage location disabled.
storage location EP field is just located in MRP views.
But with customizing you can move this field to any other view, e.g. purchasing view.
It is probably in the MRP views, as you usually have MRP views only for materials that are stock managed, and only for quantity managed materials you need a storage location, while purchasisg view need to be there even for materials that are not stock managed. So a proposal for storage location EP makes more sense in the MRP views, especailly while the planner defines where the materials are needed, rather the the buyer. And with distributed material master maintenance it makes then again more sense to have it in MRP views.
But if you company does it different, then customize your material master views to your need.

Inter company PO is not pulling the valuation price from Material Master

Hi Experts,
We have a scenario, Inter-company PO with pricing procedure which pulls Material Price from Material Master (Std Price), similar to intra company PO
Even after maintaining the std price in the supplying plant , system is not pulling the Valuation price from Material master only for a particular Material
I checked the Plant level attributes ( for ex: Plant Mat status, client level status and everything looks fine )
Could you guys please mention what would be the issue ?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Is there a routine which pulls the value? then you need debug with ABAP help for that routine where its failing to pull

Material Description to be overwritten in PR/PO from material master

Hi,
when we create a PO/PR from ME51n and ME21n the material description field is mandatory hence inspite of making setting as display only in SPRO the inital screen will except any description and will save it.
Is there any thing else by which the description data can be overwritten from material master so that even if the user enters any xyz description the system overwrites it from the material master.
Regards,
Reena

Hi,
You can very well achieve it by making the field "Material description" a "Display" field in the IMG path: Maintain screen layout at document level
However, you have to use the right "Field selection key" to make the screen changes. For eg. for NB purchase order, the field selection key would be NBF and not ME21N.
The field selection key that is applicable for the document type can be found in "Define Document types" img activity.
I have checked this and it works perfectly fine for both PR & PO.
Once you enter the material number in PR (or PO), the material description is brought from material master and then the field is greyed out. (thought initially the matl. description field looks editable).

Text linkages from material master to purchase requisition

I already set the text linkage between basic data text in material master with item text in PR. I left fix indicator blank since I want the text to be adopted automatically.
I run MRP and create planned orders. Then I convert planned order to purchase requisition. Material master basic data text is not shown in purchase requisition. I tested using N and * and they both show. With N it shows (reading from material master) and I accnot modify it. With * it shows but I have to adopted to actually store the text as part of this document. With blank is not working. We want the text from material master to be automatically adopted in PR without manual intervention as with *.
Thanks and regards, Jose Oyon.

Hi
If got ur query correctly : you want to make short text field in Preq as Display.
If yes then go to Tcode OLME (or SPRO) -> Purchase requistion->Define Screen layout at doc level->select ME51N--->double click basic data, item and make short text filed as display.

Purchase group in Purchase order from creator not from Material Master

Hi All,
Can you please help me with the next one?
Points rewarded.
In the materialmaster is purchase group 44B entered but
The default purchase group of the buyer is 55C. Is it possible
that the value 55C is automaticaly placed in the PO when
the buyer creates the Purchase order?
At this moment always the default value from Material
master is proposed.
Thank you in advance,
Eric.

Hi,
You have to look at the overall process.
The idea of the Purchasing Group is to indicate which buyer manages that material in that plant.
SO when the system (or a user) generates a requisition for that item at that plant, the system then knows who should convert it etc.
So my question to you would be, "why have you got a default P group in the material master record that is NOT the buyer who manages that item at that plant?"
If several buyers share a list of materials then just use one P group for the "group" of buyers, instead of separate P groups for each buyer.
The system doesn't have the option to automatically overwrite the P group on the requisition because this may be someone just "helping out" the buyer who is busy and so it does not mean that the requisition should be changed to be linked to this other P group.
You already have the field "created by" on the PO and so if you need to report on who created what, then simply use this field instead of P group.
But the P group on the material master (and therefore the requisition) shoudl ALWAYS be the P group that will convert reqs for this item plant combination.
