Multiple Revision Levels for a Material

Today, Tyco Electronics has many manufacturing sites located around the world. A given material may be manufactured in multiple locations. When Engineering determines that a given material must change revision level, they determine a date that this new revision level becomes effective. Unfortunately, not all manufacturing sites can be ready to manufacture to that new revision level. In fact, based on tooling, one manufacturing site may manufacture to both the old and new revision level for a period of time until all of their tools/dies have been switched over. In addition, customers may require that only the latest revision be sold to them. Does anyone else have this requirement/issue today? If so, how are you handling this within the SAP R/3 system since material revision is at a global level and there is no component revision level field on the bill of material. Requirements are to sell at a material/revision level, plan to a particular material/revision level, stock at a material/revision level. Any input you have would be greatly appreciated.

Which strategy shall I use for picking?
Can you please guide me what material master data fields are required for these strategies.
regards,
VS

Problem with Revision level for a Material

Hi All,
I have a problem with Revision Levels for a Material.
I want to know the Revision Level for a particular Material for BOM Creation.
Can anyone please let me know from which Table or Funtion Module can I get the Rev Level, once I pass MATNR (Material) and AENNR (Change Number).

Revision number for Header material in Production order.

I have maintained Revision number in material mster for Header material in Production order and also for components.
1)Revision number for Header material in Production order is not appearing in AFKO table against production order.
2)Revision number for components in Production order is not appearing in RESB table against reservation.
Any settings for that please guide.

Hi,
Revision number generation is using ECM only possible. Are you using the ECM with revision levels. Check this.

Revision level issue in Material Master maintenance

Hi All,
When I try to change the revision level for a certain change number in our production client in the material master I get the following error
Priority of revision level E is too small
I have checked in CC13. But I could not find anything relevant.
There are a number of revision levels available in the dropdown list.If I select some of the last revision levels available in this dropdown list in the material master the system accepts it readily but if I select any of the earlier revision levels in the list the system throws the above error message.
Please can someone tell me what is wrong here.

Hello All.......any clues???
Does this belong to MM?......if not where can I get answers?.....which forum can I refer?

Maintenance of multiple Valuation Categories for a Material

Hi All,
Presently we are using split Valuation Category H(Origin) & Valuation Types Domestic & Imported.We need to keep track of materials that are serviced externally with status for material(Refurbished & Repairable) for same material so that we can maintan no of times a material has been repaired.Also material should not be valuated when it is to be received after repair. Please suggest the solution

You can't use multiple valuation category for one material..
You can use multiple valuation type under one valuation category.
Suppose you have two valuation category Origin and Status.
Origin has two valuation types 1. Domestic and 2. Imported
And your Status has two valuation types 1. Refurbished and 2. Repairable.
Then you can create a new valuation category as Z and create 4 valuation type under this valuation category
1. Domestic-Refurbished
2. Imported-Refurbished
3. Domestic-Repairable
4. Imported-Repairable.
Then you can use valuation type as per your requirement. Also you can create more valuation type as per your requirement.

Unable to enter multiple Schedule lines for BOM material in Sales Order

Hi All,
We have a Sales Order where in which we cannot add additional schedule lines for BOM material.
The schedule lines are greyed out, user was able to add schedule lines earlier.
I have checked all assignments in VOV6, VOV7 and everything seems to be fine and no changes have been made to item category being used.
Please provide a solution for this.
PFB link in which similar situation posted in this community but the final resolution method is not discussed.

Hi Samiksh,
Pls check for that particular customer, only complete delivery allowed(c) is set in the CMR or CMIR. If so, you can't enter multiple schedule lines for that customer.. it would be grayed out in the sales order schedule lines except confirmed line.
or check the problematic sales order at item level shipping tab if the par del/item is set to 'C'
With regards

Production order from sales order with multiple line item(for one material)

Dear Gurus,
I am working in MTO scenarios. If there is several line item in a sales order for one material, multiple production order( same as no. of sales order line item) is getting created against each of the line item.My requirement is,since the material code is same in each line item and sales order is one, one production order should be generated for all line item. please tell me how to do it.
(Here for one material, multiple line item is required for some specific reason)
Regards
Rajib Pathak

Hi,
This is not possible.
In Std SAP will create one production order for one sales order. The stock is also allocated to thet particular sales order only. Because each and every sales order may vary in any one of the parameters. Considering this, SAP has designed like this.

How to make Delivery block at Sales Order Header level for specific materia

Hi,
My client want to create a delivery block EDI order at the Order Header level for specific materials
How can we achieve this.

Dear Varada rajan
Go to material master, select "Sales: sales org.1" view and assign "01" against the field "DChain-spec. status" and save. By assigning, for a particular sales area, you can block that material.
Now go to OVSU select 01 and assign "B" against the field "Block delivery".
Now create a sale order and post the outcome.
thanks

Import multiple info records for 1 material item in repository

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

Hi Shai & Ravi,
Thanks for your answers. The MDM version which we are using is 5.5 - currently on SP6
@ Shai: you are right; the standard SRM-MDM 2.0 catalog repository has a qualified lookup table u2018priceu2019, in which itu2019s possible to store the info record data. The standard fields in this sub-table are: Purchase Org, Amount, Currency Lower B, PIR-ID, price based quantity and Price based quantity UoM.
I added some extra fields (non qualified), to accompany the remaining info record data (product no. u2013 vendor id u2013 product category) which is exported/imported, via the standard extraction program in R/3: Tcode MECCM
I tried the solution Ravi proposed. This scenario works fine when, for example you want to maintain multiple info records for one specific material record in the main table (all info records related to the same source of supply, i.e. vendor). But as I described, the info records we import for one product can have different vendors.
The source of supply (vendor) in the shopping cart of SRM is determined via the u2018supplieru2019 field in the main repository table (which is in itself a flat lookup table ). What happens now is that all related info records are added to the u2018price informationu2019 field of the specific product record in the main table. Thus info records which have different suppliers are attached to a record in the main table which will have one specific supplier in the u2018supplieru2019 field. So from my point of view this will not work.
I am still stuck with the situation that the material master import will only import one record for every distinct product, which can have multiple info records. The info records can/will have different vendors. As the supplier field in the main table determines the source of supply in the shopping cartu2026. Iu2019am seeking for a solution which will duplicate the material records in the main table, based on the amount of imported info records for that specific material record, that have distinct vendors.
Shai, if you have some useful info on how you accomplished this requirement on a previous version of SRM-MDM, it would be greatly appreciated if you can share it..
Thx.

Multiple Range Selection for field Material in CS14

Hi friends ,
Is it possible to make multiple range selection for material field in tcode CS14 [used to compare primary and secondary BOM] i have made it ZCS14.
if i make matnr2 to matnr2-low
but my doubt is it feasible solution
please through some light on this
regards
soorya

Dear Soorya,
What's your requirement? is that to compare the Alternative BOM's for multiple materials at the same time?
If it's going to be for comparing one more alternative for the same material,then it's a good report.
As per to my knowledge if the report is going to be for a list of materials Alternative BOM's means I dont
think whether it will be a fast(time wise) report.
Check & revert back.

Multiple storage bin for single material

Hi,
We wanted to assign multiple storage bins in the material master as the material is stored in mutilple storage bin in the same storage location. We are not using WM.
We want to resolve the issue without implementing WM.
Please advice where and how do we maintain the same.
In plant data / stor 1 view there is a provision for maintaining only one storage bin.
Thanks,
Reddy

it is not possible without WM.
As workaround :
You either create for each storage bin a storage location,
or
you active batch management and let the batch work as bin.

Bom- Multiple Revision level

Hi,
How to create and maintain a BOM with mulitple revision level.
Thanks in Advance

Dear Madhan,
Do you mean to say you want alternative BOM's or else
simple BOM,that's at one moment or one fixed point it should
be having only one BOM ,with a revision level?
See for deleting or modiying the BOM with revision level you
need to use ECN - Engineering Change number.
So whenever you are using an ECN for modifying the
BOM,enter the revision level - in the field reason for change
while creating the Change number in CC01 or using change -
CC02.
So this is one way of handling this issue.
Please check & revert back if anymore help is needed.

Subcontracting multiple BoM levels for Project Stock

Hi,
We are an engineer / make-to-order manufacturer, so we use a lot of "individual" type materials (instead of collective). We are trying to subcontract several BoM levels of work to different vendors, and we are seeing many false requirements.
So we have something like this (this is all in project / wbs element stock):
Make hereSubcontract Requisition
Make hereRaw material
Subcontract Purchase OrderMake here
Raw material
Raw material
Make hereRaw material
The subcontracting items are driving additional false MRP requirements (planned orders and purchase requisitions) for all the raw materials under them.
I figured out how to fix the subcontract on level 3 by transferring the HALB material from project stock to unrestricted stock (411Q), then transferring it to subcontract stock (541) (Is there a better way to do this? Now I can't see my project-specific stock line for that item). But, while that purchase order is still open, there's nothing I can transfer to make the extra, false requirements disappear. Also, I am getting an MRP exception telling me to cancel the PO because it doesn't see the dependent requirement for the subcontract requisition above it.
Does this question make sense? How can we fix it? I need to get that subcontract requisition to see that its material will come from the subcontract purchase order.
Thanks!
Timothy

Multiple granular levels for fact table

My fact table has to incorporate both at Transaction level and Accumulative , my basic design for Transaction level is as follows
CUSTOMER_KEY, LOAN_KEY, TIME_KEY, LOAN_AMT, TOTAL_DUE, LOAN_STATUS, TRANSACTION
9000,1000,1,200,200,Open, Advance
9000,1000,1,200,0,Close, Payment If I aggregate the values then query will take time to execute . How can I provide cumulative information from this fact table? shall i go for one more fact table for Accumulative information ?
Please suggest.
Thanks,
Hesh.

Hi ,
Is it a question of OLAP cube generation using your fact table design ? If not then it is incorrect forum ..If yes , then it should be straighway ur fact and dimension design and no need of another fact table with aggregation because OLAP cube aggregate this which should ideally be tremendous fast
Thanks,
