MM: Packing Material Supplied to Subcontractor for packaging.

Dear MMers,
I have a scenario here that we re purchasing a RAW material from a vendor, but to purchase this raw material we are providing the vendors with the packing material, say bags. when PO is issued to this vendor, the bags are also provided to the vendor so that he can pack the material the way we want it.
When we finally receive the RAW material it is actually the receipt of RAW+Packing material. How can i handle this issance and then receiving of packing material in SAP?
If i use the subocntracting procedure, the packing material when attached as a component to the raw material is consumed when the raw material is received in stock. This should not happen, i want to receive the packing material also back in stock.
Any help is appreciated.
Warm regards.
OSss

Sloc for packaging material automatic determination

Hi
I am doing the following process.
Creating STO ME21N
Delivery         VL10D
TR/TO           LB01/LT04/LT12
Handling Unit ZHAND
VLMOVE       Outbound Delivery Creation and PGI
When i am creating outbound delivery. It gets created by VLMOVE. When i click on PGI, I need to enter the sloc and site every time for packaging material. Why location for packaging material does not determine automatically from the delivery in PGI. Please suggest.
Same thing happens in case of inbund delivery.
Thanks & Regards
Kapil Nanda

hi Azat,
sloc is determined via transaction OVL3. There you have the field 'storage condition' which comes from material masterdata (MARA-RAUBE). Note that the field is editable at plant view, but the data is in MARA table (so general for the material code).
If you have different storage conditions defined for different materials, then you can configure only for selected ones automatic sloc determination.
However, can you explain why there is such a need? Because to me this is weird requirement..?

Dear Shekar,
It may be happening based on the copy control settings between your delivery type and invoice type so,
Go to transaction VTFL there you selcet your delivery type and invoice type then go to the item details of the copy control here you can find the field Copying requirements for standard iten it should be filled with 004 routine
But in your case check what routine assigned then take ABAPer help to find the logic,If you want to change the logic you can change in VOFM transaction with ABAPer help.
I hope it will help you

Rounding of the packing material.

Dear GURUs,
we are using automatic packing proposal in sales order.But we want the rounding of the packing material to take place if the order quantity is less which is maintained in the packing instructions.
please suggest what settings has to be done so that the rounding of the packing material can be used for rounding of crates in sales order packing proposal
Thanks in advance
AJ

Hi,
Are u seen in POP1 or POP2,
There is column as Rounding quantity under components tab
Rounding qty
Serves mainly for building layers.
You can use the rounding quantity to ensure that a layer is completely filled, in order, for example, to prevent possible damage in transit.
Use
The system checks that the rounding quantity is respected when it determines the packing status. In your packing status check profile, you enter whether a handling unit can be created despite falling short of the rounding quantity or not.
Examples
If you want to pack a pallet with four boxes per layer, enter four as rounding quantity and specify in the packing status check profile that handling units that fall short of the rounding quantity are faulty. If there are not enough boxes to fill up a layer, the other boxes then remain unpacked.
This means that the pallet remains stackable and easier to handle throughout the shipping process.

Movement type for customer supplied packing material returns

Hi,
The scenario is like this,customer will give the packing material to the company.Company does the service required & return that packing material to customer.Presently we are using 624V movement type can you suggest some other movement type for this.
Regards,
Rajesh

hi,
this is to inform you that,
if customer is supplying the packaging material to us receive it through 501 - M and Issue 502 - M, manually if you want to track the packing material wise take the material into NON VALUATED ITEM.
you can create a Z report for the same and the fields in that is,
material number, packing material associated with that, quantity received thru 501 - M and consumed against 502 - M and GI quantity.

No item generated for packaging material in delivery - packing (how?)

Hi all,
I am trying to customize packing for deliveries. I would like to have the packaging material as a line item in the delivery. I know this is possible but I can't seem to make it happen.
I have already ticked "Gen. pack.matl item" in my delivery type. Also, I have selected in the packaging type "B Item generation in first packed delivery" for "generatedlvItms" option.
Now, in the delivery after I packed the items, no line item was generated in the delivery for the packaging material. The "No. of Packages" in item overview is correct and the status is "C" completely packed. Btw, I am using manual packing here.
Is there some more configurations I missed here?
Thanks in advance for all your help.
Edited by: Ritchie Caleb Chua on Aug 9, 2011 3:53 AM

I assume that your basic HU configuration and master data have to be ok because you are able to pack your goods.
1) Are you able to add your item w/o HUM (=not by creating a HU, just adding the material as a simple item) to the delivery? /For this you need define a record in T184L (where usage "PACK" is not there)/.
If you are able it means that e.g. your delivery copy control settings are ok (V_TVCPLAK; delivery type: LF and sales doc type: DL --> HUPM/DLN item categories in your case)
2) If you are able to
- create the handling unit manually in the delivery
- add the packing item to the delivery (w/o HUM) and also have the T184L with usage "PACK"
- item generation is maintained for your packing material time "A" or "B" in field V_TVTY-KZPGN
- plant determination for packing material type ("A" or "B" in field V_TVTY-WERFD)
it should work in my opinion (for delivery type LF).

Userexit to update sales order no for packaging material during PGI

Hi,
Scenario is like this:-
1.Sales order will be created for material X
2.Delivery will take place and packaging of material X will take place.
3.The packaging material will come as a line item and we do PGI by picking the quantity.
4.Now when we see the accounting document for PGI,we get the sales order reference for X.
5.We are not getting the reference of Sales order no for packing material while seeing the accounting document in PGI.
6.Since the packing material is not maintained in Sales order thats why the sales order no is not getting updated in the accounting document.
7.NOW I WANT TO UPDATE THE SALES ORDER FIELD FOR PACKING MATERIAL ALSO ONCE THE PGI IS TAKING PLACE.
Can any one suggest me if there is any userexit to update the sales order field for accounting document of packing material once PGI happens.
regards
Somnath

Hi,
Since packging material is not sales order item so it can't be accounted in PGI packging material is aour internal stock and not sellable stock.
Reward points if helps.

Zero pricing for packaging material

Hi All,
I have one scenario, In sales order there are two line items one is standard item and second one is packaging material.For second item I don't want to maintain price,that means zero pricing.Is there any solution for this.
Regards,
Hari Challa.

Dear Hari,
You define new item category for the packing material through VOV7 transaction.
In the item category detail screen you maintain Pricing field as Blank - NO pricing under Business Data tab.
Do the itemcategory determination for the new itemcategory VOV4 transaction with the packing material itemcategory group+sales document type.
Now system will not consider price for the packing material.
I hope this will help you,

Reference material for Packaging

Hi all,
I've created a reference material for packaging: material 100
There is a packing instruction (POP1) and determination record (POF1) for this reference material.
In the material master, I have also assigned reference mat 100 to 2 other materials:
material 101 --> reference mat = 100
material 102 ---> reference mat = 100
However when I try to pack these material, I get the error:
No packing instruction could be found for material 101
No packing instruction could be found for material 102
How can I resolve this?
Thanks,

Hi friend,
Please find the below link
No packing instruction could be found for material "X"

Packing into suppliers packaging materials with external HU numbers

All,
We have a scenario where we have customer packaging materials that contain a customer barcode. We consider this as an external HU number. During picking through RF, we would like to pack during picking into this customer packaging material. Tcode LM45 seems to offer some kind of logic but will not allow entering any HU number which is not yet known in the system.
Any ideas on this?
thanks,
MZ

Can you tell me how you receive the handling units ?.If you are receiving material from PO then using an idoc then in idoc function module put the logic crete the inbound delivery with external HU number for receipt.
You can use HID dummy delivery type susyem should create the delivery with customer handling unit numbers for receipt.
I think you need to develop custom program which you need to insert HU number ,material qty ,plant and storage location then system will generate packing lable in background to receipt the material.

Batch management separately for packaging / fuel material

Hi experts,
to be very clear , batch management is activated for all type of materials like raw material and finished goods.
For packaging material and fuel material i didnt activate batch management.
my issue is to maintain batch for packaging and fuel material with batch no. separately.
if any customization or through any exits / badi ?
i also maintain for stock at batch level .
regards
dks

Hi,
If batch is not activated for Material type packaging / fuel material...and stock /PO/GRN/IV exists for those material, then its impossible to to acitivate batches for those materials whose stock /PO/GRN/IV exists ...
If you want to maintain batches for these material types then you have to reverse all documents and you have to clear all stocks, which will be tedious job.
Better from future when ever you create new material for those material types, then activate the batch management check box.
