Non-configurable materials with EK02 costing

Hi all,
We have a range of non configurable manufactured materials which, when used in standard sales orders, generate a production order and BOM. Presently the cost is automatically generated from the material master and is populated as a VPRS cost.
As these materials have a BOM we want the cost to pick up from the BOM instead, ie as an EK02 cost. If we enter such a material and do a manual recost the EK02 populates in the sales order item conditions but we cannot get it to populate automatically as it does with configurable materials with BOMs.
In the define item categories section in SPRO we have removed the determine cost tick. This has the desired effect of removing the VPRS cost but the EK02 cost still doesn't pull through. In the Bill of Material / Configuration section of the item category we tried setting the structure scope to A (Explode single-level bill of material) and B (Explode multi-level bill of material) but this didn't work. If we set it to D (Configuration, poss. with BOM explosion), then we get the "item can be configured but there is no configuration" error when used in a sales order which is expected as these products have no configuration.
We also tried deleting the standard cost held in the material master to see if, as that value was now blank, it would pick up the EK02 instead but, alas, this also ddn't work.
Any help / suggestions would be most appreciated.
Kind regards, Rob

HI,
We are maintaining the Service masters for the services we render, there is no valuation of Inventory as only service is being rendered.
But we have maintained BOM and Routings for the services we render.
Even there is no valuation class in the serivice masters as this is non valuated.
Can you guide me more on this pls.
Thanks,
Ravi

    I tried. And here is the result :
    It seems that there is no record in table mtl_cst_actual_cost_details with the same transaction_id as in mtl_material_transactions table, but i found something strange.
    I found a data where the actual cost transaction id is equal to material transaction transfer transaction id. the date is equal also the item id BUT with the same wrong price
    I got this query from an oracle report the following queries which actually shows the correct price but only for thoose items which has got some extra cost on it :

  • KE380 for finished good with released cost estimate

    Dear Gurus,
    We have following error.
    No product costing estimate could be found
    Message no. KE380
    Diagnosis
    In Profitability Analysis (CO-PA), the system tried to find a product cost estimate for product 20010412 in plant FA03 that uses costing variant LG01.
    The system looked for the cost estimate using costing key LG1 as defined in the CO-PA Customizing
    settings.
    System Response
    No estimate could be found.
    Procedure
    Check the settings for valuation using product costing. If necessary, create a product cost estimate for this product.
    The thing is this error occurs for materials with released cost estimate.
    Before we had error ke350 for all materials considering DIEN and ROH.
    After supressing the error in kepc we can release invoices with DIEN and ROH materials.
    But we got another ke380.
    How can we solve this issue?
    With best regards,
    Kamila.

    Hi,
    This type of errror is usual if costing based COPA is active and you are using Costing key to valuate the inventory using the Standard cost estimation.
    When the costing key is been configured in COPA to access the standard cost estimation and is accordingly assigned to material types, then when the billing is released to accounting system tries to find out the SCE in the material master to pass the COGM to COPA. If it doesnt find the same, it will throw the error.
    Hence, run SCE and update your material master.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Ravi Kumar

  • Difference between configurable and non configurable finished goods master

    Hi
    Pl explain the difference between configurable and non configurable finished goods master data.
    Thanks
    kamala

    Hi,
    Configurable material are used when you have a large number of combination of parts that go into a product. It means different combinations of the parts for same material. If you maintain a unique material code for each combination , you require a large number of material numbers. KMAT is used in such a case where you maintain just one generic product code. You assign class to this material having all variant characteristics.
    A super BOM is maintained for such a material consisting of all possible alternatives. A super routing is also maintained consisting of all possible operations that could be used.
    Typically configurable material is used in Made To Order (MTO) environment. However frequently ordered configurations may be planned with a material variant which needs to have a material master record. Thus Material variants may have stock and value. Depending upon characteristic values chosen at sales order entry Sales Order BOM is created. Routing operations are also chosen depending upon which BOM components are assigned to them.
    Non configurable materials are like finish, semi finish materials having fixed BOM.  A separate/single BOM exits for every finish material.
    Revert back for more info.
    thanks and regards,

  • Inventory Turnover with Configurable Materials (i.e. KMATs)

    Dear Experts,
    Has anyone developed inventory turnover reporting that involves configurable materials (i.e. KMATs)?
    I have a situation where the client wants to report inventory turnover at the plant level. A plant issues both stocked goods and configurable materials (i.e. assemble to order) to customers. Unlike stocked goods, configurable materials do not carry standard cost and are costed during sales order settlement at month's end (i.e. material movements for KMATs are not valuated).
    In order to determine Cost of Goods Sold (since Inventory Turnover = Cost of Goods Sold / Average Inventory), I suppose that Cost of Goods Sold would be equal to the sum of the issue value of stocked goods plus the issue value of configurable materials (i.e. ATOs).
    SAP Business Content provides InfoCube 0IC_C03 for Material Movements (and likewise Inventory Turnover reporting). The delivered content supporting this InfoCube deals with valuated stock only (by looking at material movements). Valuation for KMATs cannot come from material movements (since the material movements of KMATs are non-valuated). Since the SAP Business Content scenario for Inventory Turnover does not provide an apparent mechanism for loading the cost of goods sold for configurable materials, I'm beginning to wonder if I have this all wrong.
    Does it make sense that configurable materials would be included in inventory turnover calculations at the plant level? Even though the ATO itself is not stocked, the components are, and there is a cost associated with carrying those components (and also selling them as part of the ATO). Should I be looking at the cost of goods sold for the ATO or is there a way to valuate the cost of the components sold as part of the ATO simply by considering material movements for those components?
    Any thoughts on this one? Did I even make any sense?
    Thanks,
    Jim

    hi,
    thanks indeed for the reply.
    but here i have to enter characteristics details for every catalog number assoiciated with particular material. i tried this too but still getting the Item Gross Price as zero only. for other condition records too, getting this zero value.
    do you have sample code for this?
    is there any alternative for that? any other function module i can use?

  • Implementing Variant configuration with Non-configurable assembly

    Hi Gurus!
    I have a scenario but don't know how to implement it.
    My header material is configurable and has 3 semi-finished components under it. One of the semi-finished component contains a BOM with 2 raw materials, but this component is not configurable. I mean my model has a multi-level BOM but single a single level configuration. I want to implement an assemble-to-order manufacturing process for the header material. The component with 2 BOM items is manufactured in-house and the other semi-finished components are procured externally.
    What kind of planning strategy should I use at the header level and should I maintain any special planning strategy for the non-configurable assembly?
    I am new to SAP and also to variant configuration. So please give detailed explanation.
    I have read the Planning strategies in the link SAP Library - Demand Management (PP-MP-DEM) but it is too confusing to me.

    Hi Caetano Almeida
    Thank you for the links. I got a few more questions after reading that.
    1. In order type settlement profile which order should I check? I am creating a sales order (OR) for a configurable material in MTO strategy 25. In that case should I check "SD1    Sales Order MTO Production"? If so, am I looking at the right screen (refer screenshot below) and  are the settings correct in my system?
    2. As you have mentioned in the other links. Is it fine to make changes in material valuation in OMS2? Have you come across any situation in which this change has led to other inconsistencies?
    Thanks and Regards,

  • Direct GRN (non order items) to cost center for Non Stackable Materials

    Hi All,
    We can do direct GRN (non order items) to cost center for Non Stackable Materials.
    If it is possible.Please advice me
    Thanks In adance

    Hi,
    Your question is not clear.
    Ok.
    If you want to issue goods to cost center you can use 201 movement type.
    If you want do create automatic PO in back ground during goods receipt, you can do it with customization. For automatic PO creation during goods receipt, you can search in SDN, you can get the answer.

    hi
    I was able to setup the listener to serve both databases using netmgr, thanks. Apparently I was trying to use the wrong tool for this previously.
    Now i'm able to access the EM Database Control and it seems to be working fine though i get the following error message
    Logged in As SYS
    Error
    java.lang.Exception: Number of responses does not match queries
    Database Instance: devel.foo.bar
    Now, i'd like to be able to use EM for administering two separate databases (running on the same host). Do i need to migrate the database control somehow to grid control? How do i do that?
    What about security? I'd like to use SSL and limit connections to selected clients only.

  • Is it required to cost the materials with Price control "V" ?

    Dear All,
    Would like to know if we have to consider the items with Price control "V" during the cost run in CK40N..?
    Since the system automatically updates the price of the item for price control "V", do we also require to update through cost run?
    Please help me understand.
    Best regards,
    Praveen

    Hi,
    Materials with price control "V" is dynamically updated with value whenever there is a receipts.  The system will calculate average rate by dividing total value by total stock.  Hence, cost the materials for this price control is not relevant.  It is recommended to have price control "V" for all externally procured materials.

  • Costing run for materials with special procurement key

    Hello,
    Since moving to ECC6, the costing run for materials with special procurement keys is not pulling the marked price from the materials the special procurement keys point to. Only the released prices are pulled.
    Example:
    Material A, plant A has a future price (costing 2 tab) of 100 and a current price of 99
    Material A, plant B has special procurement key Z1 (costing 1 tab) which pulls the costing from Material A, plant A
    In our old system (46c) the costing run for Material A, plant B would pull 100.
    In ECC6, the costing run for Material A, plant B pulls 99
    Anyone that can push me in the right direction?

    Hi,
    Based on the info provided thus far, the result that you notice in ECC 6.0 is right as it is picking the current standard price based on your setup.
    Now why it is picking the future price in 4.6c, well for that you will have to do a detail check as in which variant is being used etc. I would suggest you to work with your CO personnel on this. Do a costing run for this particular material via CK11n using the variant which you mentioned & see the results.
    Or if you can upload the screenshots (picasaweb or some other portal) of the valuation variant you're using in 4.6c, along with Acctng view 1 & 2, costing view 1 & 2 details of the material it would help to have a better understanding.

  • How to configure sso with SSL step by step

    Purpose
    In this document, you can learn how to configure SSO with SSL. After user have certificate installed in browser, he can login without input username and password.
    Overview
    In this document we will demonstrate:
    1.     How to configure OHS support SSL
    2.     How to Register SSO with SSL
    3.     Configure SSO for certificates
    Prerequisites
    Before start this document, you should have:
    1.     Oracle AS 10g infrastructure installed (10.1.2)
    2.     OCA installed
    Note:
    1.     “When you install Oracle infrastructure, please make sure you have select OCA.
    2.     How Certificate-Enabled Authentication Works:
    a.     The user tries to access a partner application.
    b.     The partner application redirects the user to the single sign-on server for authentication. As part of this redirection, the browser sends the user's certificate to the login URL of the server (2a). If it is able to verify the certificate, the server returns the user to the requested application.
    c.     The application delivers content. Users whose browsers are configured to prompt for a certificate-store password may only have to present this password once, depending upon how their browser is configured. If they log out and then attempt to access a partner application, the browser passes their certificate to the single sign-on server automatically. This means that they never really log out. To effectively log out, they must close the browser.
    Enable SSL on the Single Sign-On Middle Tier
    The following steps involve configuring the Oracle HTTP Server. Perform them on the single sign-on middle tier. In doing so, keep the following in mind:
    l     You must configure SSL on the computer where the single sign-on middle tier is running.
    l     You are configuring one-way SSL.
    l     You may enable SSL for simple network encryption; PKI authentication is not required. Note though that you must use a valid wallet and server certificate. The default wallet location is ORACLE_HOME/Apache/Apache/conf/ssl.wlt/default.
    1.     Back up the opmn.xml file, found at ORACLE_HOME/opmn/conf
    2.     In opmn.xml, change the value for the start-mode parameter to ssl-enabled. This parameter appears in boldface in the xml tag immediately following.
    <ias-component id="HTTP_Server">
    <process-type id="HTTP_Server" module-id="OHS">
    <module-data>
    <category id="start-parameters">
    <data id="start-mode" value="ssl-enabled"/>
    </category>
    </module-data>
    <process-set id="HTTP_Server" numprocs="1"/>
    </process-type>
    </ias-component>
    3.     Update the distributed cluster management database with the change: ORACLE_HOME/dcm/bin/dcmctl updateconfig -ct opmn
    4.     Reload the modified opmn configuration file:
    ORACLE_HOME/opmn/bin/opmnctl reload
    5.     Keep a non-SSL port active. The External Applications portlet communicates with the single sign-on server over a non-SSL port. The HTTP port is enabled by default. If you have not disabled the port, this step requires no action.
    6.     Apply the rule mod_rewrite to SSL configuration. This step involves modifying the ssl.conf file on the middle-tier computer. The file is at ORACLE_HOME/Apache/Apache/conf. Back up the file before editing it.
    Because the Oracle HTTP Server has to be available over both HTTP and HTTPS, the SSL host must be configured as a virtual host. Add the lines that follow to the SSL Virtual Hosts section of ssl.conf if they are not already there. These lines ensure that the single sign-on login module in OC4J_SECURITY is invoked when a user logs in to the SSL host.
    <VirtualHost ssl_host:port>
    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteOptions inherit
    </VirtualHost>
    Save and close the file.
    7.     Update the distributed cluster management database with the changes:
    ORACLE_HOME/dcm/bin/dcmctl updateconfig -ct ohs
    8.     Restart the Oracle HTTP Server:
    ORACLE_HOME/opmn/bin/opmnctl stopproc process-type=HTTP_Server
    ORACLE_HOME/opmn/bin/opmnctl startproc process-type=HTTP_Server
    9.     Verify that you have enabled the single sign-on middle tier for SSL by trying to access the OracleAS welcome page, using the format https://host:ssl_port.
    Reconfigure the Identity Management Infrastructure Database
    Change all references of http in single sign-on URLs to https within the identity management infrastructure database. When you change single sign-on URLs in the database, you must also change these URLs in the targets.xml file on the single sign-on middle tier. targets.xml is the configuration file for the various "targets" that Oracle Enterprise Manager monitors. One of these targets is OracleAS Single Sign-On.
    1.     Change Single Sign-On URLs
    Run the ssocfg script, taking care to enter the command on the computer where the single sign-on middle tier is located. Use the following syntax:
    UNIX:
    $ORACLE_HOME/sso/bin/ssocfg.sh protocol host ssl_port
    Windows:
    %ORACLE_HOME%\sso\bin\ssocfg.bat protocol host ssl_port
    In this case, protocol is https. (To change back to HTTP, use http.) The parameter host is the host name, or server name, of the Oracle HTTP listener for the single sign-on server.
    Here is an example:
    ssocfg.sh https login.acme.com 4443
    2. Restart OC4J_SECURITY instance and verify the configuration
    To determine the correct port number, examine the ssl.conf file. Port 4443 is the port number that the OracleAS installer assigns during installation.
    If you run ssocfg successfully, the script returns a status 0. To confirm that you were successful, restart the OC4J_SECURITY instance:
    ORACLE_HOME/opmn/bin/opmnctl restartproc process-type=OC4J_SECURITY
    Then try logging in to the single sign-on server at its SSL address:
    https://host:ssl_port/pls/orasso/
         3. Back up the file targets.xml:
    cp ORACLE_HOME/sysman/emd/targets.xml ORACLE_HOME/sysman/emd/targets.xml.backup
    4. Open the file and find the target type oracle_sso_server. Within this target type, locate and edit the three attributes that you passed to ssocfg:
    ·     HTTPMachine—the server host name
    ·     HTTPPort—the server port number
    ·     HTTPProtocol—the server protocol
    If, for example, you run ssocfg like this:
    ORACLE_HOME/sso/bin/ssocfg.sh http sso.mydomain.com:4443
    Update the three attributes this way:
    <Property NAME="HTTPMachine" VALUE="sso.mydomain.com"/>
    <Property NAME="HTTPPort" VALUE="4443"/>

    5.Save and close the file.
    6.     Reload the OracleAS console:
         ORACLE_HOME/bin/emctl reload
    7. Issue these two commands:
    ORACLE_HOME/opmn/bin/opmnctl restartproc process-type=HTTP_Server
    ORACLE_HOME/opmn/bin/opmnctl restartproc process-type=OC4J_SECURITY
    Registering mod_osso
    1.     This command sequence that follows shows a mod_osso instance being reregistered with the single sign-on server.
    $ORACLE_HOME/sso/bin/ssoreg.sh
         -oracle_home_path $ORACLE_HOME
         -config_mod_osso TRUE
         -mod_osso_url https://myhost.mydomain.com:4443
    2.     Restarting the Oracle HTTP Server
    After running ssoreg, restart the Oracle HTTP Server:
    ORACLE_HOME/opmn/bin/opmnctl restartproc process-type=HTTP_Server
    Configuring the Single Sign-On System for Certificates
    1.     Configure policy.properties with the Default Authentication Plugin
    Update the DefaultAuthLevel section of the policy.properties file with the correct authentication level for certificate sign-on. This file is at ORACLE_HOME/sso/conf. Set the default authentication level to this value:
    DefaultAuthLevel = MediumHighSecurity
    Then, in the Authentication plugins section, pair this authentication level with the default authentication plugin:
    MediumHighSecurity_AuthPlugin = oracle.security.sso.server.auth.SSOX509CertAuth
    2.     Restart the Single Sign-On Middle Tier
    After configuring the server, restart the middle tier:
    ORACLE_HOME/opmn/bin/opmnctl restartproc process-type=HTTP_Server
    ORACLE_HOME/opmn/bin/opmnctl restartproc process-type=OC4J_SECURITY
    Bringing the SSO Users to OCA User Certificate Request URL
    The OCA server reduces the administrative and maintenance cost of provisioning a user certificate. The OCA server achieves this by authenticating users by using OracleAS SSO server authentication. All users who have an Oracle AS SSO server account can directly get a certificate by using the OCA user interface. This reduces the time normoally requidred to provision a certificate by a certificate authority.
    The URL for the SSO certificate Request is:
    https://<Oracle_HTTP_host>:<oca_ssl_port>/oca/sso_oca_link
    You can configure OCA to provide the user certificate request interface URL to SSO server for display whenever SSO is not using a sertificate to authenticate a user. After the OracleAS SSO server authenticates a user, it then display the OCA screen enabling that user to request a certificate.
    To link the OCA server to OracleAS SSO server, use the following command:
    ocactl linksso
    opmnctl stoproc type=oc4j instancename=oca
    opmnctl startproc type=oc4j instancename=oca
    You also can use ocactl unlinksso to unlink the OCA to SSO.

    I have read the SSO admin guide, and performed the steps for enabling SSL on the SSO, and followed the steps to configure mod_osso with virtual host on port 4443 as mentioned in the admin guide.
    The case now is that when I call my form (which is developed by forms developer suite 10g and deployed on the forms server which is SSO enabled) , it calls the SSO module on port 7777 using http (the default behaviour).
    on a URL that looks like this :
    http://myhostname:7777/pls/orasso/orasso.wwsso_app_admin.ls_login?Site2pstoreToken=.......
    and gives the error :
    ( Forbidden
    You don't have permisission to access /sso/auth on this server at port 7777)
    when I manually change the URL to :
    https://myhostname:4443/pls/orasso/orasso.wwsso_app_admin.ls_login?Site2pstoreToken=.......
    the SSO works correctly.
    The question is :
    How can I change this default behaviour and make it call SSO on port 4443 using https instead ?
    Any ideas ?
    Thanks in advance

  • Using Moving Average Materials with MF42N (Repetitive Production)

    Version: ECC 6.0
    I have a "Is this possible" question.  I know this isn't a best business practice, but thought I'd anyway.  Here goes ...
    A material that uses Moving Average (referenced as Material123 below) has the following two materials in its BOM:  (1) Moving Average (Material456), and (2) Non-valuated material, material type = LEER (Material789).
    The 1st material in the BOM (Material456) is Liquid Oxygen.  This product is purchased from a vendor and received into inventory via movement type 101.
    The 2nd material in the BOM is an empty cylinder (Material789)
    The parent material (Material123) being produced is gaseous Oxygen (Oxygen in gas form).
    Basic production process:  Liquid Oxygen is the raw material, it is pressurized and stored in a cylinder in gaseous form (for clarity, you've probably seen cylinders before, the two obvious examples of cylinders are propane cylinders used on barbeques and helium cylinders used to blow-up balloons).
    Assumptions:  (1) We do not want to do a cost roll, (2) We want to report production (TCode=MF42N) to consume the Bulk Oxygen (Material456) and the cylinder (Material789), and create the finished good (Material123), and (3) We do not want to burden the cost of the parent material (Material123) with direct costs, we only want the material costs.
    If you read through the assumptions you can see that this is not proper accounting for a production process (i.e. the direct costs in the production process are not capitalized -- labor, power, etc.), if you can get beyond that I was wondering if anyone has ever set anything like this up?  I tried to set this up and report production in my test environment, I got the materials created, the BOM created, but when I tried to report production it gave me an error, it needs a production version and/or a cost collector.
    If anyone has done anything like this I'd be interested in knowing if it is possible to report production with a setup like this.  Thanks.

    Using CO production orders may solve your problem. They dont need PP or product costing to be implemented. Costs can be flexibly posted and there are not many demanding requirements for this.

  • Best Material Type for Handling Non-valuated Materials in Distribution

    Our distribution business will soon be handling non-valuated material and I am trying to determine the best material type to use.  I am considering material type UNBW but would like to know if anyone has advice.  We are strictly providing a service to the vendor for handling these non-valuated materials (for example, wood products).  We will not purchase or sell the product.  Our service consists of receiving the product into inventory from the vendor, tracking the inventory, (in Warehouse Management) and then shipping the material to a customer of the vendor's choosing.  For these non-valuating materials, we are paid strictly for our service of warehousing the material and shipping to a customer.
    Up until now, our distribution business has distributed only valuated materials, i.e., materials we purchase at a price and sell at a price.  We also use vendor consignment.  NOTE: This is not a vendor consignment scenario because we never buy the product.
    Here are our requirements:
    - We don't own the non-valuated product.
    - We need to be able to ship these new non-valuated products on the same shipments as the valuated product we own.
    - We use handling unit and warehouse management for all of our finished goods.
    - We would like to use our existing processes and HU/WM RF transactions to receive and pick the non-valuated product.  This means:
    1) Creating inbound deliveries and packing into HUs.  And applying our HU bar code labels.
    2) Physical inventory counts by HU.
    3) Creating sales orders that have both the non-valuated materials and valuated materials we own.
    4) Creating outbound deliveries and picking via transfer orders in WM.
    5) Assigning the outbound deliveries to a shipment.
    Questions:
    1)  Can a UNBW material that will be stocked but not valuated be received into inventory via a PO?  Any way to receive into inventory with an inbound delivery without using a PO?
    2)  Are there any problems with putting a non-valuated material on a sales order with a zero price?
    3)  Any challenges that other have run into?
    Thanks in advance.
    Rob

    I must be missing something regarding the use of material type UNBW.  When I post the goods receipt for a PO with a UNBW material, no inventory is created.  When I create the PO, an account assignment is required.  I tried both a cost center account assignment (K) and balance sheet account assignment (Z - using a Profit Center).  In both cases, I am forced to check the "Free item" checkbox to avoid entering a price; which also seems strange since the material is UNBW.
    I have searched everywhere for a "Best Practice" for my scenario with little results.  Again, we are simply managing the inventory for a vendor and shipping the inventory to our vendor's customers.  So we are acting as a third pary warehouse and shipper for the vendor.  We do not buy or sell the inventory - we are paid a monthly service fee by the vendor for warehousing their product and shipping it to their customers.  We may ship the product on sales order deliiveries that include both the "non-valuated" product (i.e., free goods we manage for this vendor) and goods that we actually own.
    As an alternative, I am wondering if I should look into somehow using vendor consignment with a settlement price (consignment info record price) of zero.  Vendor consignment is nice because you can track the stock by vendor.  However, we would never truly "settle" with the vendor because we would not be paying the vendor for the inventory and would never own it.
    Our business refers to this as "reload business" but I am not sure this is an industry standard term.
    Any other thoughts out there?

  • Blocked field in Sales Order when using configurable materials

    Hi everyone,
    I have noticed that every time I insert a configurable material in a Sales Order Line, after pressing ENTER and having valuated the associated characteristics, the Material and Position Type fields stay blocked so I cannot change the material in this position.
    According to the process I am implementing, I would need in certain cases to change the material (replacing the configurable for a non-configurable one).
    I would be very grateful if someone could help me to avoid that these fields get blocked or at least to know the reason.
    Thanks in advance and best regards.
    Ben.

    I don't have any experience with configurable materials, but it seems that in this case you'll need to delete the line (or the lines) and re-enter them with the proper type of material.
