NLAG and UNBW

Hi,
When we want to order non-stock items we directly create a PO for the item which we require by entering text of the material instead of giving a material number. as we know that for non-stock materials material master is not required. But when we go to the material types SAP has provided standard material type NLAG- non-stock material.Actually for what purpose we use this material type and what is the advantage of this material type.
And the same doubt with the material type UNBW- non-valuated material.
Can any one make clear of this to so that it will be helpfull.
Thanks,
NJ

Hi,
Material Type mainly helps in recognization of the material.Qty & Value updation for a particular plant, No range information, Procurement external or internal & Views for Material creation.
If you want to track the Material which is non stock materials you need to create the Material master. For this you need the Material type.
So SAP has provided the this NLAG & UNBW to track the material as some clients needs a report on these materials.
If you create the PR/PO with short text then how will you track the Non stock items purchases. So if you create the material with material type NLAG & UNBW you can track these purchases.
hope you got it.

Exact Difference between Non Stock NLAG and Non Valuated UNBW Materia type

Dear All
What is the Exact Difference between Non Stock NLAG and Non Valuated UNBW Materia type?
I tried creating Purchase Order and found that accouting doc got created at both times and stock was not updated in MMBE for both material types.
Regards

Hi,
non-valuated material (Material Type UNBW):
This type of material is managed on a quantity basis, but not on a value basis. This makes sense for materials of low value, stocks of which nevertheless have to be monitored (for example, operating manuals).
Non-stock material (NLAG) (Material Type NLAG):
Inventory management is not possible for these materials either on a quantity or value basis. For frequently required consumables, the use of this material type nevertheless enables you to store the information required to create
purchasing documents (such as texts and units of measure).
When a material is procured directly for consumption, no material master record is necessary. In connection with consumable materials, you can distinguish between the following cases:
Consumable material without material master record
Consumable material with material master record that is not subject to
inventory management (on either a quantity or value basis)
Consumable material with material master record that is subject to inventory management on a quantity, but not a value, basis

ACCOUNTING VIEW IN MAT-TYPE - NLAG & UNBW

Dear cons
can u tell me is there any accounting view in material type - NLAG aswell as UNBW. WAITING FOR YOUR EARLY RESPONSE. bOTH THE CASES VALUE ARE NOT UPDATED.

Hi
As NLAG means Non stock material but you want to have valuation then for this Accounting should be there.
And UNBW means Non valuated material means no accounting entry related to value then no accounting view.

Enable Goods Receipt Indicator

Dear all,
I would like to ask how can I activate the Goods Receipt and GR Non-Valuated indicator in the Purchase Order Delivery Tab page. Currently it is marked as disabled during creation of the PO. Thanks.

Hi
Goods receipt Indicator
For stock Material Procurement the Goods receipt indicator is set automatically by SAP standard setting sothat you can do the GR against the Purchase order.
The below combinations are having the same functinality if the material is procured for multiple account assignment ie) Consumable Material procurment where the GR is Non valuated. If you use certain certain material type like NLAG or UNBW then the indicator will be set by the system.
Also if you select mulitple account assignment the systme will set these indicators.
1) Goods Receipt indicator - Disabled
GR Non valuated indicator - Disabled
2) Goods Receipt indicator - Enabled
GR Non valuated indicator - Enabled
Hope you understood. If no please explain why do you want to activate the indicators??
Thanks / Karthik

position type L means it is a inventory managed material.
why do want the material to be inventory managed and at the same time dont want to record consumption movements?

Material Master views for every material type

HI Expertis,
I am facing to the big problem. My requirement is to identify the Material Master Views relevent to the each and every Material Type.
As an example, for the material type "FGTR" what should be the required views to create material master?
From the MM01 Txn i found 36 Material types. Also found the standard views in "OMS2" Txn. But in OMS2 txn it gives me almost all the views in material master.
Atlease i hope to categorize the material types which are going to use same material views. So i can ask abaper to develop it.
these are the required Material types : MODE, FGTR, WETT, KMAT, LEER, LGUT, FERT, FOOD, INTR, CONT, IBAU, HERS, NLAG, NOF1, UNBW, HIBE, VERP, FRIP, PIPE, FHMI, ROH, LEIH, HALB, DIEN, ERSA, HAWA
I would be gratefully thank u, if u can guided me on this matter.
Thanx & Regards,
Rashika.

Hi,
You can ask your abaper to write a small program by using table t134(T134-PSTAT) and T132T .From this tables ,for each material type, you get all views.

Urgent-material quantity knows at GR

Hi gurus,
My client's product say material XYZ comes through bags.And they want to keep inventory for these bags also and price of these bags should be include in XYZ material.
Scenario is that while placing PO for 1000kg of XYZ they doesnt know in how much bags this XYZ will come.
They know at the time of GR.
So,is there any facility in MIGO where you can add these bags to XYZ material stock account while giving PO reference?
And how will I get inventory for these bags?
Pl help

Hi,
your scenario is the sale of empty bags. It is similar to the sale of empty oil drums, cartoons,boxes etc, etc.
why you want to load the cost of empty bags into your material stock account?
your vendor will not be charging you separately for the material that is coming in these bags and the cost of the bags. bags are packing material for your material .
if he charges you extra, then in PO pricing procedure you can have the condition for packing and forwarding.
from your question it doesnot appears to be this case, as at the time of PO you donot know your material will be shipped in how many bags.
You have two situations :-
1. You have a bags stock which is available in physically but not in system and you want to dispose it.
you should use 202, to get the bags in stock. You will have to create a material number for the bags with appropriate MAP (confirm with your accounts). I have also seen organizations using 561, 552 etc. Nothing wrong in using 531 if it hits the correct G/L account,concept wise 531 is not the right movement.
mvt 561, 552, 531 are movement type with 'nowhere' concept. by using these we are writing on stock from "nowhere" and so you will have to balance out the posting somehow?
The movement type to be finalized will depend on the G/L account it hits in your system and the thoughts of your accounts department.
The most important thing to do is to find out from your financial department where the stock value is supposed to come from. If they want to use a cost centre then a 202 is fine (even if a 201 was never used).
Also, check with accounts how they want to sell it ( as scrap sale ) ?
2. other way. I think at the time of GR for material itself you can create the stock of bags with 501. However, I have seen organizations follow the process 1 every time they want to sell scrap.
This is a very tricky process in organizations and accounts, excise along with materials need to be consulted before going for the final solution.
for selling this these bags, SD consultants will map the sale of scrap process for these bags. only things will be TDS of 1.133 %.
use material type NLAG or UNBW for bags depending upon your requirement.

Vendor Management with Service Industry

Hello!!
I was wondering if you guys could tell me what SAP material types do your companies use for materials/services like warranties, software install, insert (product information/usage instructions/promotion printed, folded and inserted into the package with the product). I'm assuming that any labor costs, travel, etc. related to repair are DIEN. Do you use any other SAP material types for repairs?
I'm trying to figure out what would be the most suitable material types for above items.
Also How's the VEndor management comes in into the Service industry like IT Services.
Thanks in Advance!!!
Rajesh.M

Hi Rajesh,
As such for services, material type is DIEN, or may be without material number, but using the material groups...but for usage instrcutions/promotion material, material type will be NLAG or UNBW (Non-stock and Non-Valuated respectively).
BR,
Krishna

Delivery costs with no material

Hi gurus:
I have a situation, i need to create a PO with Account assignment category "K" and with no material, only text description, and I put de G/L account number and cost Center. I want to calculate the delivery cost but in the transaction MIGO there is not values.
I already have inbound delivery, shipment and shipment cost.
My question is: is possible to generate delivery costs if in the purchase order don't have the material?
I tried using a material type NLAG and in this situation the delivery costs are calculated.
please help me...
Regards....

Hi
I think that you have had your question answered so if you are happy with this can you please award points if you want to but mainly can you please mark your question as answered so that it is easier to navigate around the open questions in the forum as the number of pages are growing and growing and it takes too long to go through everything especially if a satisfactory answer has already been given and people like me who want to help will give up and so some people may not get any help.
Thanks for this

How to consider material in SD pricing

Hi,
I need to take into account a specific % markup over basic price for NLAG materials.
I also use price list category (customer differenciation) and material groups (material differenciation, the same group is assigned to NLAG and non-NLAG material types).
As the first step I have added MTART field to "Field Catalog (Pricing Sales/Distribution)" in T Code OV24.
Then I have created a new condition table in T Code V/03.
Afterwards I have also defined a new access sequence in T Code V/07.
This sequence is used by one of price conditions assigned to pricing procedure in T Code V/08.
However when creating sales order the access to MTART field is not made.
I receive the message "102 Access not made (initialized field)".
What is wrong or what is still missing?

Hi,
During pricing determination, system looks at the value available in field KOMG. Since the MTART field is already available in KOMG and KOMP by standard, I am assuming that field is getting populated in KOMP and KOMG. Other place to check is in teh acess sequence.
In your access sequence, make sure the field assignment (3rd level) is complete.
In an access sequence, you assign a table to the access sequence and then you have to assign a field to each field of the table in the access sequence at the 3rd level of access sequence. Make sure, MTART is linked with KOMP-MTART.

GI:How to set Indicator:Item Not Relevant for Goods Movements LIPS-NOWAB

Hi,
does anybody know what i have to do to get the Indicator: Item Not Relevant for Goods Movements set for a good issue delivey position? (Table LIPS field NOWAB)
thanks in advance
Steffen

Hi,
the thing is the following (maybe it doesn't work at all, i don't know) :
a) i have a "Non-stock" material (e.g.material type NLAG)
b)this material should be picked, so it should be relevant for the delivery (e.g.item category TAX)
c) for a special reason the "Total goods movement status" in the outbound delivery header shouldn't be "Not relevant", therefore i assigned the item category TAX to a shedule line category that has a movement type (e.g. CN)
d)but the bad thing is, that the customer has set the indicators "quantity updating" and "value updating" for the material type NLAG, and so the goods issue posting gets some errors. eg.g missing storage location etc.)
During debugging i found a coding that checks the sign NOWAB of lips, the documentation says:
"You can use this indicator to control whether the item is relevant for goods movement when the delivery is still being created.
When this indicator is set, goods movement is not posted for this item - regardless of the movement type assigned to it."
So i head the idea it might be possible to set this indication (Lips-nowab) somewhere in the sales order or somewhere else but maybe this conflicts with point c) above .
Maybe shomeone knows what to do or has a better idea.
Best regards
Steffen

Client will raise sales order for this material and he will do billing this is the process. once do the billing system will post Customer a/c Dr and sales commission a/c Cr. Now it is not happening. System is throwing error message that costing view and cost component is required for this material. Actually this is non stock material. How do post this document without maintaining costing view and STD cost estimate. Pls give your suggestion to post this document.

Material master Maintenance-Mass change

Hello All,
We have around 2200 records (material masters) for which the following changes are required.
1) Where Valuation Class is "AAAA" or "BBBB" or "CCCC"or"DDDD" replace
all Purchasing Value Key with "2"
2) Where Valuation Class is "NLAG" and Purchasing Value Key is "4" or
"3" or "2" then replace Purchasing Value Key with "1"
Kindly suggest which is the best option out of mass maintenance(MM17), LSMW and BDC ???
Thanks

For BDC You have to depend on ABAPer and it will take more time to develop.
As you can easily view the maintained material master and you have already the required changes, you can easily handle this using MM17 also.
You can prepare LSMW also if you have some time in your hand
