Multiple Plant Material Master

Hi,
Following is the business scenario:
The client has two plants: one is excise exempt and other is not. Same material is manufactured in both plants. They also have a registered sales office which is created as a depot in SAP. Profit centers are created plant wise. Hence, there will be three profit centers (Excise exempt plant, excise chargeable plant and depot location).
The Material Master for material is extended to all three plants having respective profit centers.
Now, when material gets manufactured from both plants and lands at Depot for sale, no differentiation could be made so as to know which material (Point of Manufacture) was sold.
The requirement is to get a Revenue Minus COGS report for Materials manufactured from Excise-exempt plant but sold from the depot.
One of the options is to create different material master for such material at Manufacturing Plants.
I am looking for options where separate material master need not be created.
Thanks & Regards.

Hi Vinay
The only option I can think of is to use Split Valuation in the Depot Plant..
Create 2 Val Types as EXCISE and EXCEMP for Excise and Excise Exempt Plant.. WHen you receive Goods in the Depot, you need to receive them against these 2 Val Types
Ofcourse, it should be identifiable by looking at the Label from which Plant the product is manufactured... May be you need to think of introducing Batch Management in the 2 Mfg Plants wherein the Batch for Plant 1 starts with A and for Plant 2 starts with B
Obviously, the cost of Product from Excise Exempt plant will be more because you dont get duty set off there.. So, this is the only option i can think of
I would be firmly NO for Duplicate material codes

Synchronizing Material Master revision level across multiple plants

Hello,
If an organization uses material master revision level to maintain the details of material's validity across different plants then we see a material master with different revisions in that organization. Now I would like to understand the impact of this practice in big organizations , is it advisable to have a material master with different revisions in different plants? , if not then which is the best way to synchronize these material masters ( with different revision level ), which are already in use?
Bets Regards,
Avinash

Hello Ulf,
Thanks for your reply, the actual issue is..
There are two companies; both are using the same material.
We are building a central system and synchronizing the materials from all companies.
While synchronization, we found that revision level are different across companies.
1.      Should we avoid using revision level in our organization?
2.      If I can find the validity of a material with change no + material + plant, then what is the purpose
         of the revision level?
3.     What will be the impact, if we remove the entire revision level across all companies?
4.     In real world, across different organizations, how revision level is synchronized across companies or at least in the central system.
Please let me know your valuable inputs.
Thanks

Transportation group field in Material master..Sales/Plant data tab.

Hello Gurus,
The transportation group field in material master is Material specific or a plant specific?? caz whenever i am changing this transportation group field in one plant it is also updating with the same value in all the plant for the common material even though the Company code and Country are different forall the plants.
Hope to hear from you soon as its a very high priority production issue..
regards
Rikinl

The transportation group field in material master is Material specific or a plant specific??
Its material specific. Even if you have multiple sales areas or plants and if you change the transportation group, the change will be applicable for those areas also.

Multiple Plants for Material and customer

Hi,
I have downloaded the Plants from the R/3 to CRM using DNL_PLANT object. The BP with Role 'PLANT' are created.
we have multiples plants for the same material,
I have downloaded the material master data, but in COMMPR01, the field DELIVERING LOC. is empty. Is that correct? How the system works with multiples plants.
What I can do?
Best regards
Lidisaid

Hi Lidisaid,
Ideally, the field Delivery location must get populated. Just ensure that the followig settings have been maintained.
1. Adapter Object MATERIAL
Tcode: R3AC1
Choose the tab Tables/Structures Within Object
Add tables MARC and MARC_KEY
Please also check that MARC_KEY that the field Inactive is not flagged for this entry.(This is needed to download the PLANT information as interlinkages to CRM Online in the table COMM_IL_PRDLOC.)
The plant information is seen in the Sales & Distribution tab of the product master by double clicking on the Distribution Chain.
2. Add Relationship type PRDLOCS- LOCATION OF PRODUCTS
Tcode: COMM_HIERARCHY
Check if the corresponding Material Categories for which the PLANT information is to be downloaded has the interlinkage type LOCATION OF PRODUCTS maintained in the RELSHIP types for the products categories that are to be downloaded to CRM from R/3.
Note:
If no relationship types are assigned to the product category, the PLANT information will be downloaded to the interlinkage table COMM_IL_PRDLOC. But even if a single RELSHIP entry is maintained then additionally the RELSHIP type LOCATION OF PRODUCTS also have to be maintained. E.g. MAT_FERT
Wish this helps.

Selling Material From Multiple Plants

Hi Experts,
I have two questions.
1. Is it possible to have more than one division for a material. If Yes, how we can do this.
2. How to sell a material from multiple plants. What is the procedure,
Thanks,
Shan.

hello, friend.
1. is it possible for a material to have 2 or more divisions? yes and no.
yes, if you leave the division in the material master blank. the material, when processed in the sales order, then copies the division from the sales area of sales document.
yes, if you configure cross-division, or if you configured the 'check division' options in the sales document type via VOV8.
no, if you specified the division in the material master and you have made a sales transaction. (it would still be a yes, if you made the right configurations using VOV8 described above).
2. how do you sell material from different plants? by extending the material to the different sales org-distribution channel-plant using MM01. be sure to maintain the Sales org 1 & 2, and Sales general/plant views for each combination.
regards.

Plant specific fields in the material master for product move

Hi, SAP gurus,
My scenario is we are moving a existing product in US plant to Brazil plant. What are the fields in the material master that are specific to a plant that will change. For ex MRP controller will change from plant to plant. Like that can anybody please provide me a list of fields that i need to be looking at?
Thank you
Anusha

Hi Anusha,
First of all, list down all your materials those you want to extend to new plant.
a) Secondly, pay attention to those fields you will find "filled" in those materials at plant level.
b) MARC comes handy for you to analyse which fields are at plant level.
Intersection of fields with values between a and b are the ones you need to work out.
Good luck,
Regards

Mass deletion of material master at plant level

Hi,
Is there any way to flag materials nearly 500 Nos for deletion at plant level.
Regards,
Vengat

hi,
Use mass transaction for putting the delete indicator for the material master...this is to be done from MM17 tcode...
and later they all could archived...Archive it from MM71 and can display this from MM72..

SRM and MDM for material master in SRM contracts for multiple R/3

Dear all,
my question is:
We are implementing SRM 4.0 in classic scenario with multiple R/3 back-end and we want to set-up Global Outline Agreements in SRM in a multi-backend environment where the Material Master are not harmonized.
We heard that MDM and COntent Integraton can be a solution.
Then detailled question is:
Can we have 2 material numbers (e.g. ABC and XYZ) in 2 different R/3 systems refering the same product.
Have the mapping done in MDM (Content Integrator?) to a third material number:123
Replicating the material master 123 to SRM from MDM(?)
Create global Outline Agreements in SRM for Material Master 123.
Distribute the GOA as Outline Agreement to R/3 system 1 with the translation to ABC and to R/3 system 2 with the translation XYZ, all of that during the distribution step (or another).
Have the call-offs quantities correct on 123 in SRM and BW?
IF yes, how is it working, do you have some documentation discribing the scenario and the config steps to do?
Thanks in avance

Hello RD,
That's a good question.
You are on the right way. MDM is the tool for you.
But..
Content Integrator (CI) was first developped for Shell, to address the need of cross-referencing of material/supplier/category IDs, for:
- reporting purpose (actual Spend Analysis)
- mapping purpose (send of XML PO)
CI was later "fusionned" into the new MDM (1.0) solution.
So now, you can not order CI without MDM (even if some SRM slides still present CI).
But mapping API where developped for all inboud/outbound interfaces in SRM, for materials only (good luck for you).
You will find everywhere this piece of code:
Call ECI
    CALL FUNCTION 'BBP_PRODUCT_MAP'
      TABLES
        it_input          = lt_mapping_in
        et_output         = lt_mapping_out
      EXCEPTIONS
        logsys_not_found = 1
        driver_not_found = 2
        product_not_found = 3
        internal_error    = 4
        OTHERS            = 5.
So it is ok, you have the mapping call, but I don't know if all the rest of the process was really "finalized" (call of API mapping in CI, via XI). I personnaly never used it, but I assume it should work.
I my opinion your process is supported by SAP:
- Extract materials from both R/3 and consolidate them as a single product in MDM.
- Distribute this product into SRM.
- Maintain contracts on those products.
- Distribute them to R/3 (The ECI call is also used during contract distribution).
- Call offs corrects in SRM and BW
For MDM documentation, look at netweaver area of service.sap.com.
For MDM/SRM integration, look at SRM 4.0 spend analysis:
https://websmp206.sap-ag.de/~sapdownload/011000358700004424262004E/GlobalSpendOverview.ppt
For SRM contract distribution, call-offs, BW, look at SRM in details in service.sap.com/srm/SRM4.0:
https://websmp206.sap-ag.de/~sapdownload/011000358700001966382004E/contracten.ppt

Sales order does not extract plant information from material master data

Hi experts,
I have created a sales order. However, the plant in the shipping tab can only be manually entered.
I have made the check:
the customer material master data does not have the plant info.
the customer master data does not have it either.
It is defined in the material master data: sales:general/plant
But the sales order did not extract this information. Why does this happen?
Thank you in advance.
Best regards,
Fan

Hello Friend,
As right stated by you,
The Plant will be copied from the master data to the sales order, if not it should be manually entered
The Sequence System will search for the Plant is as follow..
1. Customer material infor record, If it was not maintained then it will search in
2. Customer master, if the entre was not maintained in the SHIPPING TAB
3. Finally it will search in the Material master in the Sales organisation data 1 in the field DELVERING PLANT field.
So please search whether the entry was maintained in that field at the sales:sales organisation data 1.
This might be the issue.
Please revert if you want further details

Valuation Class according to Material Master but not Plant wise

Hi,
Is there way to find out the Valuation Class according to Material Master but not Plant wise...
Plant wise, we can get into MBEW table, but I want to find valuation class directly...
Plz guide..

I need to change Valuation class against material number...
We have 18 plant in our company and more than 2,50,000 material's.
Which one easy task for change in material master, either 2,50,000 material's or 2,50,000 X 18 (45,00,000) material list.
If I go with plant wise, we need to change 18 times...also this is time consuming process... As I know in all Plant's, valuation class must be same...
please guide...

Multiple Country of Origin at a Material Master level- Foreign Trade import

Hi Gurus,
We have a requirement to store Multiple Country of origin at a Material Master level . One Part/Material is sourced from different vendors and they are manufactured in different countries . Please note that we are not using Batch Management . Is there any workaround to have this scenario without using standard Batch Management .
Thanks,
Prabuddha

hi,
you can use split valuation for this by using the valuation category field in material master in accounting 1 view.
in this you have to maintain valuation category as "H" = ORIGIN.
For split valution procedure you have to reffer the follow this link.
