Multiple info records for the same material record in the catalog

Hi Guys,
I have got sort of a puzzle I can not solve at the moment, maybe some one can help me to solve it. The situation in our system landscape is as follows:
Systems:
SRM 5.0 (Classic implementation scenario)
ECC 6.0
SRM-MDM 2.0
PI 2005
Material master is maintained in R/3 and the materials are replicated to SRM. From SRM we replicate all materials to the catalog repository in SRM-MDM.
As the material master in R/3 is vendor independent, the materials replicated to SRM also have no vendor attached. For the first initial material replication from SRM to the catalog SRM-MDM this also means that the products in the main table of the repository, u2018catalog positionsu2019, will not have a vendor or vendor number attached (i.e. no reference to a source of supply).
To assign a source of supply in the repository to a product (record) we will use info records which are replicated from R/3 to SRM-MDM. The mapping for this in the Import Manager can only be based on the product number. As this is the only unique value available which can map a info record to a already existing (but vendor less) ptoduct item in the catalog.
As long as every item in the repository has only one unique info record, meaning one source of supply with a specific price, there is no issue in the above scenario. Based on the product-id, the info record data will be matched with the material item in the catalog.
The issue for me arises when multiple info records exists for the same material. The info records can heave different vendors and different prices. All possible vendors should be available in the catalog for the same material (at least this is the requirement ).
At this point the product-id will no longer be an unique value. Importing the info records will cause problems, as only one material record is available in the repository for the specific product-id (remember that when doing a initial replication of the material master to the catalog, no vendor data is replicated).
Does anyone had this issue before, and knows a solution? Is it for example possible during the import of the info records in the Import manager, to duplicate material records in the destination data, based on the number of info records available in the source data for the same product-id. Or is there an other solution that I am missing?
Your help would be appreciated!
Regards,
Skander

Different countries of origin for the same material

Hi All,
I need to maintain two different countries of origin for the same material, is this possible?
I have materials that are sold to customer in Europe and also in the US, but according to EU laws the country of origin is X and according to NAFTA laws the country of origin is Y.
I therefore need to be able to maintain the data according to the receiving country.
Is there a possibility to do this in SAP?
Thanks,
Sivan

Thank you for the answer.
The problem is not that I have a different vendor, but that I have a different customer. The laws regarding how to define the country of origin for the EU are a bit different from the laws regarding the US. Therefore the same material, purchased from the same vendor can have a different country of origin when we sell it to a customer in the US from the country of origin when we sell it to a customer in the EU.
I therefore need to maintain the country of origin according to the teratory in which the customer resides.
Do you know of a solution for this?
Thanks,
Sivan

Can I use multiple values for a rollup key on the same Endeca record?

We have a business need to to aggregate our records using different criteria, based on user navigation. We are thinking of using a rollup key with multiple values to help with the aggregation, but we are running into some issues.
Here is a made-up xample of what we want to do: assume we have a group of products and these products can be organized into groups using parent-child relationships. We would like to create an aggregate record for each parent, and we want the aggregate record for each parent to include all the children for the parent. To achieve this, we use a field called "parent_rec_spec" that holds the parent record spec and we set the same value on the field for the parent and its children. When we do rollup using the parent_rec_spec as the rollup key, we are able to see one aggregate record for each parent (with its children).
The previous setup worked perfectly for us so far. But now we are getting a business requirement that allows children nodes to be linked to multiple parents at the same time. We were hoping of using another dimension to limit the records based on user roles/characteristics , so that only applicable parents/children are displayed (for example, we can use "market" as an additional filtering property, and we decide to show all parents/children for "North America", while hiding the parents/children for other markets).
This caused an odd behavior when children are linked to multiple parents. For example, assume that SKUs A and B were linked to parents in "North America" and "Europe" at the same time, and assume that the user chose the "North America" market. The navigation state would eliminate the parents/children that are no in North America, and will also cause the parents/children that are labeled for North America to show up and be aggregated correctly. This however will lead to the creation of additional aggregate records for the A and B using the parent_rec_spec values that would have linked them to the Europe parents (even though the parents are hidden away).
Here is an example index file that we used to load the test data:
Update||1
Market||North America
Record Type||Product
Name||Parent 1
rec_spec||P1
parent_rec_spec||P1
EOR
Update||1
Market||Europe
Record Type||Product
Name||Parent 2
rec_spec||P2
parent_rec_spec||P2
EOR
Update||1
Market||North America
Record Type||Product
Name||Child A
rec_spec||A
parent_rec_spec||P1
EOR
Update||1
Market||North America
Market||Europe
Record Type||Product
Name||Child B
rec_spec||B
parent_rec_spec||P1
parent_rec_spec||P2
EOR
Update||1
Market||North America
Market||Europe
Record Type||Product
Name||Child C
rec_spec||C
parent_rec_spec||P1
parent_rec_spec||P2
EOR
Update||1
Market||Europe
Record Type||Product
Name||Child D
rec_spec||D
parent_rec_spec||P2
EOR
In this setup, we have parent P1 marked for North America with children A, B and C, and parent P2 marked for Europe with B, C and D as children. When we use North America as a filter in the navigation state, and parent_rec_spec as the rollup key, then we will see an aggregate record for P1, A, B and C. But we will also see an aggregate record for B and C by itself (presumably because of the other parent_rec_spec value on these records).
The actual data that we are testing with is more complicated, but the end result is similar. We also noticed that the additional aggregate records would not be created always, depending on the ordering of the records.
The question that I need help with is this: is there a way to fine tune the rollup logic so that it can only include certain records (in the example above, we can change the rec_spec from PA and PB to PA_North_America and PB_Europe and then we would be interested in rolling up using values that end with NorthAmerica).
By the way, we considered using separate rollup keys for each context (like parent_rec_spec_north_america and parent_rec_spec_europe), but the number of contexts is dynamic, and might grow large. So it is not easy for us to create the additional properties on the fly, and we are concerned about the possible large number of dimensions.

Free Goods for multiple line items of the same material

Hi Friends,
We have configured Free Goods to a particular material in such a way that if the customer orders 100 qty of Material A then he gets 10 qty of Material B free. This is working fine if there is only one line item of Material A with qty more than 100.
However, if the order is created in such a way that there are two line items of material A for 50 qty each then the system is not giving the free material B, even though the total ordered qty in the sales order for material A is 100.
How can this be configured in the system? Please Help.
Regards,
Abhishek

What is the purpose of giving the same material as second line item.
specify in the first line item itself.
or els the condition record which you have specified that for 100 material of A gives 10 material of B modify it to 10 of A should give 1 material of B
The first you will be useful for you.

Sales Deal with two different validation dates for the same material

Hi SAPers,
I am trying to create a u201CSales Dealu201D VB31, for the same material/condition, but with two different validation dates. After the creation of the first record, I select u201CNew conditionu201D button, but the system give me the message VK104, u201Cthe condition is being processed in the current session.u201D.
How can I solve this issue?
Thanks in advance.
Pedro

We can't have multiple records for the same condition and key values valid on the same date. The condition end date is part of the primary key in the database table. The date ranges between the records cannot overlap. When you create a new record, usually the end date is set to 12/31/9999 by default. If you need to have this deal to end on a different date and a new deal to start afterwards, then first you need to change 12/31/9999 to a different date.
Also usually I try to exit the screen between the transactions.

Email if Notification is created for the same material number

Hi,
IS it possible to get a email Automatically when a notification is created for the same material in last ___days/weeks.
Thanks
SM

Yes. Use the early warning system to send an eamil when ever the number of notifications exceeds a certain number in a given period time for a given group of objects.
You must have the info structures for QM in LIS activated for this to work.

Can I use the same material for C_BOWI_40

Hi All
A couple of years ago, I have attended SAP BOW310 and I have the course material for BOW310 as well, my questions is that do I need to obtain latest academy material again or I can use the same one. I can see the following details on my existing material...
BOW310
Web Intelligence Report Design I
SAP Business Objects - Business Intelligence
Participants Handbook
course Version 96
course duration 2 Days
Material Number 50103381
Owner: Ann Whitehead (I050533)
Now I want to give certification of C_BOWI_40 and I'm wondering that Can I use the same material or not....

Yes. If you use the iPad charger no problems.
If you use the iPhone charger, on iPad it will charge much slower, but it will still charge.

How to Prevent/Control doing MIGO twice for the same material

Dear
The stores clerk by mistake has done MIGO twice for the same material. Is there any way to prevent/check the same in standard SAP? Vendor does not send the invoice/delivery challan to stores directly. Invoice is sent to Finance Department.
Regards

It is very unlikely that you could spec an ABAP solution to this problem.
You may be able to spec an exit that would prevent GR being carried out for a PO Item twice on the same day. But that is not infallible, as there may be valid circumstances when you would need to carry out two GR's for a PO item on the same day. A fix for a small problem that creates a large one is not a good fix.
You also need to ask how big this problem really is - if a user duplicates a goods receipt every once in a long while then you probably do not have a serious problem.
Rather than look at a system fix for the error, I would suggest that you look at what you can do to improve the physical process.

Multiple shipping addresses for the same supplier (depending on the symbol)

Hello ,can we set up multiple shipping addresses for the same supplier (depending on the symbol)?
.& How..
Thanks

a delivery adedress has nothing to do with a certain supplier, except you are talking about subcontracting (do you?)
a delivery address specifies an address where you want the supplier to send the goods to.
if it is a third party PO, then the delivery address is derived from ship-to partner of the sales order.
in case of a standard order to stock, the delivery address is coming from the storage location address (if maintained). if no storage location address is maintained, then SAP takes the address from your plant.
You can manually add a delivery address in MEAN transaction and then manually assign in POs delivery address tab.
here you can as well take the address from any address already in your system (e.g. any customer or vendor).

In MIGO two seperate entry for the same Material in Accounting Document

Dear Expert,
Hi
Business is doing stock transfer transaction. Here with reference to stock transfer PO when business is doing Goods Issue.
here there is two stock transfer PO. in one PO there is two line items for the same material. in the second PO again same material with two line items.
but at the tme of Goods issue it is showing two seperate line for same material stock account credit in accounting document. but in the other Goods issue with reference to second PO it is showing only one line for inventory account credit in the accounting dcoument.
so pl. guide me on this.
thanks
H shah

Hi,
Step 1 : First we create the Stock transfer PO.
Step 2 : Goods issue with ref to above stock transfer PO ( Movement type 351) - MIGO
Step 3 : Goods Receipt with ref to above stock transfer PO ( Movement Type 101 )- MIGO
Thanks

User Exit For VA01 To Restrict From Entering The Same Material twice

Hello All,
I have a requirement that in sales order creation(VA01) i want to restrict From entering the same material
more than once in a sales order i.e more than one same material not allowed in sales order i have tried alot of user exists but of no use
can u tell me the exact user exit
Regard's,
Mahesh Dasari

Hi Mahesh Dasari,
1.This user exit is used to add additional datat to VBAP struture like custom fields. And this user exit is called for every single line item when processed.Say you have 10 items then this user exit will be triggered before each entry is populated in the XVBAP.
2.When the user enters item 10 with material 1 we allow him, then for the next line item say 20 we check if the material entered or processed ( this will be available in VBAP structure ) is available in XVBAP and the line item 10 is not deleted.
3. If the above check true then it means that the material entered is already existing else its not so it will proceed to next line item
e.g. in your question , item 10- Mat1 , item-20- Mat12, item-90-Mat1,
Then as per the code I have given , item 90 will be deleted or removed.
4. Now you can either delete the line item by clearing VBAP as I have done or give a error message that will be as per your requirement.
Use the logic I have provided in my earlier post , and see the behaviour.
Hope you find this answer helpful and set this questions answerd

Automatic batch determination when more items have the same material

Hi guys,
I have a problem with automatic batch determination in the delivery note where more items has the same material number.
For example:
Sales order items
Item   Material   Q
1        130         5 kg
2        130         4 kg
Stock for this storage location is:
material    batch    Q
130           1000     3kg
130           1001     7kg
When I create delivery note I get this:
Item   Material   Q   Batch
1       130
90001 130       3     1000
90002 130       2     1001
2       130
90003 130       3     1000
30004 130       1     1001
As you can see, both items has the same batches. This is not good, when post goods issue. Normally there is no stock availaible for both items.
Is there any customizing to do this correctlly?
Thanks for an ansver.
BR, Matic

What is the purpose of giving the same material as second line item.
specify in the first line item itself.
or els the condition record which you have specified that for 100 material of A gives 10 material of B modify it to 10 of A should give 1 material of B

Record for spouse overlaps with record for domestic partner

Hi Experts
When we are creating Spouse record we are getting following error in portal.
"Record for spouse overlaps with record for domestic partner"
I have deleted the Plans for Domestic Partner and I have deleted the Domestic Partner from Portal and after that I am trying to create the spouse. I could able to create spouse in BACK END system (HCM) after I deleted the Domestic Partner from portal. But I can't able to create Domestic Partner from the Portal.
If I delete DP instead of Delimit from the backend I could able to create the Spouse from portal. But If I Delimit I can't create the record from Portal.
Could you please suggest us.
Thanks
Sowmya

You cant overlap these records you need to use differnt subtype

Rounding PR00 in header level (+1 item with the same material)

I have currently a problem, my customer prints the invoice by sumarizing the materials (line items with the same material and pr00), but by doing this the unit price by the quantity is not correct because the rouding at line item is not the same when we put all together.
e.g.
line 1 - qty = 7,5 and pr00 = 0,15 ->total of 1,125 -> stays in line item with 1,13
line 2 - qty = 7,5 and pr00 = 0,15 ->total of 1,125 -> stays in line item with 1,13
in the layout we have a total of 2,26, but in real we must have 2,25 if we see this like a header group.
Can we have a rounding solution for the PR00? like we have for discounts using a rouding routine?
thanks in advance,
joao

in the layout we have a total of 2,26, but in real we must have 2,25
Since the issue is only in output of billing document, you have to take the help of ABAPer and modify the smart form.
thanks
