MTS configurable material

Hi,
I'm having scenario of MTS for configurable material. We dont have APO. And we are not using VC. We have Is-Mill package. How to do the MTS for configurable material. If u any update please reply me.
I tried with FERT material with Material is configurable in Basic data 2. I maintained 300 class type. I maintained configuration profile also. In PIR we are not able to give exact values. There we need to give usage probability. So, i planned to edit the characteristic fields in production order. I tried with the help of ABAP'er. But i didnt get the solution.
Anybody plz help me.

Hi Naren,
Please follow these steps
1. I think you have posted the another sales order stock to unrestricted by mb1b and movement type 411 E.
2. Now you have another sales order in your hand for which you want to deliver the qty which is in unrestricted.
3. now again go to mb1b and choose movement type 413, now enter the req qty mentiones for your sales order, then choose the required field such as storage location and finally the sales order against which you want to deliver the materials(which is in unrestricted area), when you complete this activity you can deliver the material against the desired sales order.
Please check and revert.
Thanks,
Hrishi

MTS Production with Configurable Material

Hi Experts,
I am working on IS Mill solution. we also have the configurable material. Normally the client's business is MTO. But in some cases they want to use Make To Stock also. But the problem is for make to stock with configurable material is not possible.
As it is possible if they have APO (IS-Mill functionality). But here we are using ECC-MRP.
Can anybody suggest some SAP note for this??
Thanks in Advance !!

Hi SISL
I am working at a Danish company named Vestas Wind Systems and we want also to start up doing make-to-stock using configurable material and would like to avoid a very high number of material variants.
We are already using APO in our company (SNP) and therefore I believe it should be a possibility.
Is this tied together with characteristic based planning in APO?? I have heard that this characteristic based planning only is possible on one level, is that also your experience??
I would really like to get my hands on some documentation on how to use SAP ECC and APO to handle make-to-stock of configurable materials, so if you can provide me with such documentation, it would be highly appreciated. It seems like you have some experience in this area.
Thanks a lot in advance.

Planning with configurable material

Hello All,
We are using a Configurable material and i have a question about the configurable material. The Configurable FERT material should be a MTO and all the configured components should be MTS. I want to enter the forecast for the components in Md61 and put them in stock and the requirement from the Configurable finished good should consume the PIRs. can anyone tell me what strategies i should use at each level. Thanks in Advance.

Hello
I have tried above suggestion, but they did not work. The sub assemblies (variant components) are not being consumed by the Fert level requirement. It is creating Another new requirement, it is not consuming the PIRS for the sub assemblies. Can someone suggest me what to do here.

Configuration material costing

Dear Gurus,
I need some help for configuration material costing. In this case, we launch PP and running MTS(make to stock). Material type of finished goods is FERT, product cost settlement by production order .
Now, we want to run CTO(configure to order) , Material type is FERT & HALB.
I had search relative topic , i know configuration materials can not use CK40N for standard cost, cost settlement by SO.....
The query is, we don't want to costing by SO at this moment, is it possible to maintain the CO setting base on MTS and don't settlement by SO ?
Thanks advance!!!

Hi,
The question you posed is not very clear. But based on what i have perceived, let me explain...
Make to Order (MTO) is of many types -
1. MTO with sale order controlling
2. MTO without sale order controlling
3. Configuration management with KMAT material type
4. Engineer to Order
5. Assemble to Order
Let me know which scenario you are trying to do...
I feel you must be talking about MTO without sale order controlling ( u asked "is it possible to maintain the CO setting base on MTS and don't settlement by SO").
if that is the case, the answer is YES
in your setting for item category you make sure that you don't determine sale order item as cost object.
please ensure proper settings for 1. Account Assignment category, 2. Requirement Type 3. Requirement Class Settings
This particular scenario is purely for logistical purpose.
We use the normal costing run (CK40N) costs for this purpose. total costing cycle would be as good as MTS except that all the stocks are reserved for Sale Order.
I hope i made is clear.

Creation of Sale Order for configurable material with availability check.

Hi,
We have a scenario in which the material is configurable. The configurable material (X) has few variants (Ex: X1, X2, X3, X4, X5). While booking the sale order, we use the material number (X).
Further, the material planning is done for the variants X1, X2, X3, X4, X5. The standard variants are planned for production in advance.
1.     While booking the sale order, we want the availability check of the stock (type matching to happen). What needs to be done in configuration?
2.     While booking the sale order, there is a possibility that the configuration selected will not match with any of the standard variants due to some additional requirements of the optional features, in such cases how to link the standard variants to the sale order & create requirement for additional requirements.

Umesh

Hi Umesh,
           1.Create material master for configurable material and variants in mm01.
           2.Maintain BOM for the configurable material in CS01
           3. Configur the variant configuration steps
              a. Create charecteristics T.code CT04
              b. Create values and assign classes
              c. assign the values to charecteristics
              d . Maitain dependence T.code CU01
              e.create configuration profile t.code CU41
              f.stimulate the configuration profile.
4. Do the availability check configuration through this path
IMG --> Sales and distribution > Basic functions ,> Availabilty check and Transfer of requirements.
5. Maintain the Availbility check field and MRP views in the material masters other wise you sit with PP people and do that
I hope it will help you

Issue in consumption of forecast for configurable material

Hi,
we have a issue in consumption of forecast by sales order for a configurable material.
Please find the below details for the settings maintained and the steps followed.
Please let me know how we can overcome this issue.
settings in R/3
1. Class and characterisitcs are created in R/3
2. standard material was created and class assigned
3. planning strategy used is 56
4. material, class, characteristics,ATP check, ATP customizing , sales order were integrated to APO
Settings in APO
1. CBF table, CBF profile, Consumption group were created in APO
2. Consumption group is attached to the product master
following steps were followed.
1. Forecast was created in DP for a certain characterstics ansd relaesed to SNP/PPDS
2. forcast is visible in product view
3. sales order was created in R/3
4. slaes order is visible in APO but it is not consuming the foreacast for the same set of characteristics.
Please let me know how we can overcome this..are we missing any customization ...?
Thanks
Ram

Hi Srinivas,
thanks for your response.
The forecast consumption problem was solved after correcting the entries in requirement strategy.
have one more query.
when the sales order for a configurable material is transferred from R/3 to APO, we should be able to see the values under "descriptive characteristics tab" in APO product view.(when we click on the green triangle representing the configuration).
However, we could see the values under "descriptive characteristics tab" for some of the characterisitcs and not for other characteristics.
we tried comparing the characteristics but could not figure out the reason.
any pointers / clues to come over this issue would be helpful.
thanks
Ram

Error message while creating configurable material for variant configuration.

Dear All,
I want to create configurable material for the purpose of variant configuration. When trying to create configurable material using mm 01 or mm k1, it is displaying an error message that internal number assignment is not possible for the material type configurable materials as well in using external number also. Can anyone specify the steps to be done in creating the configurable material. Thank you all.
Regards
Akula Sivaji Kumar Madhu Kiran

If you want to set these material type to another group (Which has a internal number and external number range), then you can do it.
In MMNR, Click on the Edit Group.
Then select the material type and click select element.
Then mark a tick option in another group and then press Element/Group.
Then you can see the material type will come under this group.
Now save your entry, and create a material with this material type.

Please see the all Details of Business so that U can give answer properly.
One is raw fabric (Raw material) which has to passed different process to convert Colored fabric as my Finish product as well I can sale Raw fabric also.
is it possible to maintain raw fabric and Colored fabric with same mat.code?
I have configured the material as well all pricing BOM, Recipe its working properly.
How can I assign the material to Operation? I am getting GRAY field in New Assignment in change recipe mode ..
Is it possible to use Material type other than KMAT? I want to use Finish material type. If yes How?
Right now I can create Process order from the Sales order but I am facing error in confirmation that Sales Order stock does not exist than I have to transfered stock to Sales order and error get solved temporarily but I want to avoid this manual transaction to remove this error. Any configuration is required please inform.
My configuration is given below.
MRP Type : PD
BOM item Category: L Stock Item.
In dependency & Profile I have set radio Button as Single level Bom explosion.
Order Bom selection in profile.
Strategy : 25 make to order for configure material.
How can I do ? please suggest any changes
I have only 9 months of SAP experience within short time I have gain lot knowledge from this site and other reading material as well my learning Learning thirst.
thanks to all SAP gurus..
THANKS IN ADVANCE .... Definitely I will reward points even if my some questions get solved...
Regards,
Bhavik dangi.

Hi,
You can use variant configuration for selling the colored fabric. Use the basic fabric as raw. and maintain variant configuarations to have many variants.
Please use strategy 25. When you run MRP the planned orders will be generated and will be assigned to the sales orders. You can see it on the account assignment tab.
In material master pleasse maintain Individual collective requirement indicator to 1-individual in the MRP-4 view.
Then the stocks will be reserved to the specific sales orders.
Thanks and regards

Configurable material in scheduling agreement

When I use DS scheduling agreement with LPN as item category with configurable material, I cannot input value for configuration. But if I use normal TAN instead of LPN, I can input value for configuration.
Why?
Does SAP do not allow configurable material in scheduling agreement or quantity contract?
Thanks in advance for any suggestion.

Deat Amy,
Please check the item category settings related to configuration through VOV7 transaction.
Go to VOV7 transaction then select item category LPN then go in to the detain here you check the configuration related settings under Bill Of Material /Configuration tab.
If want you refer the standard Config.at Mat.Levl itemcategory TAC settings, same way you can do settings for your item category then try.
Note:- Not advaisable to change the standard one, so you copy the standard itemcategories do the changes,
I hope this will help you,
Regards,
Murali.

Material variant replacement in sales order for Configurable Material

HI
I am using variant configuration. In this i have created material A as configurable material and have Preconfigured Material B as its variant by assigning configurable material in MRP 3 view.
Now when i am creating Order for material A i.e. Configurable material and the characteristics values are same as that of Preconfigured material system is not replacing Configurable material with Preconfigured material.
Please help me out.
Regards,
Anand.

Even after maintaining the item category MTAC(Mills Make to order config at mat level), the configurable material is not getting replaced in the sales order (va02). It is just showing material variant exists for the configurable material.
The setting in item category for configuration is.
Config. Strategy 01(Sales Order Strategy (TAC, TAM))
Mat. Variant Action 4 (Replace configurable material (Append and change))
ATP material variant 2 (Do not substitute if not completely available)
Structure scope D (Configuration, poss. with BOM explosion)
I have maintained the stock for material variant as well to take care of ATP material varinat setting shown above.
Please suggest if missing something.

Create a configurable material with reference to another config material

Hi,
I want to create a configurable material with reference to another configurable material from different system.
Please tell me what data i need to check to see if that material has been created (copied manually) successfully.
Thanks.

Hi,
In case of configurable material most important thing is configuration so please check weather the configuration is copied perfectly with all characteristics or not. Similarly check the valuation class and price control is proper or not.
