hi,
for non stock material , with material master, u should use account assignment category in PO for the item
when u do GR, it will go to consumption ( ie :no stock is updated.) .no settings are required for this.

Serial number for non stock material

Hello,
I would like to create a serial number for a non stock material (material type NLAG) (PO with account assignment catergory K) and I receive the following error message during the goods receipt (transaction MIGO) :
*Movement type 101 does not currently support serial number management*
*Message no. IO306*
*Diagnosis*
**With the help of * under the business operation, the entry in table T156S used here under movement type 101 defines that no serial numbers are supported here.**
*System Response*
*Termination of the transaction called up.*
Is there somebody who can help me with this problem please ?
Thanks a lot in advance for your help.
Kind regards,

Hi,
I'm not familiar with Serial Number Management but I guess you can apply it only to materials with stock.

Non stock material - Account assignment category Q

Dear All,
I have came across a strange situation.
For non stock material, qty update and value update is un checked in configuration.
When I am trying to create PR or PO for non stock material, system is giving an error for account assignment category.
Upto this, everything is fine.
Now when I am entering account assignment category - Q, system is allowing me. Further ahead, when I am doing GRN, stock is also generated which is against the SAP standard practise. Because stock should be consumed for non-stock material.
However, for other account assignment category, system is not generating stock and directly consumes the material.
Once stock is generated, system is also not allowing issue of this material, because qty update is unchecked.
Would request you to please help me. Do I need to do any configuration in the system for this.?
Please help.
Thanks & Regards,
MP

Hello,
Thank you ver much for your inputs.
But the problem is, how come stock generated for a material of material type "non-stock material". As per standard practise, non-stock material should be directly consumed and can not come in stock.
Problem comes only when we use account assignment category - "Q". For other account assignment categories, stock is getting consumed.
Thanks & Regards,

Its upto you if you want maintain material master record or not for non valuated material. With material master you have a material code to input in the field of PO, without material master you put in short text.

PP-MM-FI integration for Non-Stock material consumption

The client is expecting a simple solution for a Std SAP process which is LIKE subcontracting....but actually not.
The requirement is to set up a process of external operations using a NonStock (NLAG) material ( which will have no physical stock updation when GR is done). This material is a part of BOM with item category N. The material will have S price control. ( Must from business requirements). PR gets created from process order --> converted to PO --> then 101 and simultaneous automatic consumption gets debited to order. (with a price = PO price). PO has a account assignment F and item category blank Standard).
Question - This behaviour is not desired. The "Std cost" should be used in posting a consumption posting..& the rest ( PO price less Std price) should be shown as purchase price variance in a different acount. How to customise this break up ? Is there way in MM pricing conditions or something else ?.
Pl note that there is no stock entry...only consumption will be debited with GR offset at PO price. Also at invoice verification, the price if different should be posted to price difference account ( which is not assigned to process order...it is directly going to COPA).
Might be a very simple SAP solutions / answers from MM /PP......so that we avoid the ABAP development for reposting..
Could somebody help pls ?
Regards
Ram

Hi,
Since Material is Non-Stock Material so it is must to maintain the Account Assignment Category in PR or PO for this Material. And once you maintain the Account Assignment Category in PO and do GR w.r.t. this PO then it will not consider the Material Master Price (Standard Price) since there is not any Stock Account Entry during GR, it will hit the Expense Account. And Price Difference Account will get debited only if Stock Account will come in picture.
So following Accounting Entry will get generated;
During GR (MIGO);
Expense Account - Dr
GR/IR Clearing A/c - Cr
During LIV (MIRO);
Vendor Account - Cr
GR/IR Clearing A/c - Dr

Unit Cost of non stock material - Hubwoo Catalogue

Hi Team,
There is one requirement to transfer the the cost of matrial from SAP PM to ArcFM. Here the materials are assigned to the operations in the PM order. Here we want to transfer the service cost and material cost of the particular operation to the ArcFM ( ie an external design tool) to estmate the total cost involved for the particular operation.
Here the unit cost of the stock material can be get from the material master. But for nonstock material, a hubwoo catalogue is maitained. How do we get the unit cost for the this material?
There is an interfece we have to develop to transfer the service cost and material cost from the SAP to ArcFM. Hence we have to get the unit cost of the non stock material here.
Thanks in advance.

Shyjith

Hi,
Yes, you are right but in material master price is not updating, many times I have been assigned the same material as a non stock and at every time I have maintained the planned price on order level but it is still maintained as "0" value in material master,
what is the standard process?
what settings need to be made to get automatically planned price or last purchased price for a non stock material?

Automatic PR to PO conversion for non stock material

Hi,
Can Automatic PR to PO conversion be done for non stock material (with account assignment category and no material master).
We are presently doing only for stock material with transaction ME59N.
Thanks and Regards,
Pratap

Some of the pre-requisites for automatic generation of PO from PR are
1. The system selects only those requisitions for automatic PO generation for which the indicator Automatic purchase order has been set for both the material and the vendor.
2. It can only generate purchase orders from requisitions to which a unique source of supply has already been assigned.
So material master is mandatory if you want to create PO automatically from PR and you need to activate this option both at vendor and material master.

Purchase of non stock material

Hello MM experts,
We use the non stock material type for material we purchase on cost centers. Those materials do not have any price in the master data because they are generic. For example, we have one material code for office furnitures.
Now we want to use the RFQ functionnality after a PR is created but we can't link the RFQ price wihout updating PIR.
For example, i have to PR with different RFQ price
                 material nb      description               long text    qty                      RFQ                price
PR 1        123456            office furniture           chair         1                           11                  50
PR 2        123456            office furniture           desk         1                           12                  100
Is it possible to link a RFQ to a PR without maitaining a PIR?
Is it the right way to purchase generic materials?
Thanks a lot

I didn't know that to link a RFQ to a PR and a PO, you have to select the RFQ in tcode me21n.
You can create a PR with reference to RFQ or create a RFQ with reference to PR. Usually it's PR - RFQ - PO. If you create a RFQ and maintain the quotation through ME47. Now if you create a PO with reference to RFQ, system will automatically pick the price to PO even without inforecord. you enter the RFQ number in ME21N item overview tab. or with the help of document overview.
Do you know why when a RFQ is pending for a PR, the PR is still available for PO conversion in me21n ?
RFQ - PR - PO is not a regular process either it's not a invalid process. Usually it's PR( this is where the demand created) and the PR is converted into PO if we know the vendor already and if we dont know the vendor we create RFQ. RFQ is just aid to get the quotation and I dont see logic to restrict the creation of PO. Only restriction you can make is.. restrict PO without reference to PR or RFQ through OMET

Suggestion required for STOCKE MATERIAL to non stock material in the PO

Hi all
by mistake system clears account assignment for non stock material due to some user exit.
1. PO line item 01 - mm 100011 -stock material - plant 1000
2 . PO line item 02 - mm 100011 -non-stock material -plant 1100 - it has account assignment - in the request - by mistake this account assignment got cleared while creatring Purchase order
now i have realised this issue while doing good receipt.
now second line item 02 - mm 100011 - needs to be correct to receive goods . what action item needs be taken so that i can pay the invoice.
can i make in the line item 02 - Account assig category K and enter GL account AND cost center. - to correct the issue.
i have corrected this issue for future in the user exit.so not clear account assignment.
Muthu

Both the cases you need to pay invoice.Only the difference is first line item the material qty goes into stock.Second line item is not stock item as you are assigning account assignment.
To correct the issue for second line item you can change it to account assignment item if system allowed.Why I am saying you mentioned user exit influencing the PO to change the line item.
So first check user criteria what are the controlling perameters to save the PO.It seems your user exit checking line items if first line item stock item then it is changing all th line items as stock item.Take ABAP person help what are the user exits exist in PO

Using a Non-valuated, non-stock material in an STO

Created a planning material with UNBW material type in ECC 6 to use to help manage shipping capacity at the mill. Added to a sales order and it decremented the plan as expected.
Half of the mill's deliveries are STO's so now trying to get this to work on an STO.
Does anybody have advice on how to get a non-valuated, non-stock material (ideally, a planning material, but we could work around this) that we don't plan to deliver, to work on an STO?

Thx for replying. I need the material to be accepted by the STO but also to work with planning so it decrements a planned shipping capacity for the mill. So I am trying to figure out how to get it on the STO and be differentiated from other, normal materials that have $ value, inventory, and account assignment, This material will only have a planned quantity that can be decremented by demand coming from either sales orders or STO's.

Sale of Non stock material - material type(NLAG)

Hi all,
Is it possible to sell a non stock material which is maintained as a material master through material type NLAG.
How to map this scenorio in SAP
Kindly let me know regarding this.
Regards
Saru.

Dear Lakshmi,
Thanks for the reply.
My client's requirment is,
The material I have said is a gas material, unit of measurement for this material is tonnes and it will be distributed thru truck.
Actually this product is a co product of a finished product so stock will not be maintained for this. Thats why it will be maintained as NLAG material.
Do I need to maintain the sales view for this? what and all I need to configure for this to happen?
Now I need to map this scenario into the system. I dont know how?
Kindly help me in this regard.

Moving Average Price for non stock material

Hi All,
We are looking at loading a large number of material masters for items that will not be stocked - i.e. an account assignment will always be provided during purchasing.
When we load these materials - what should the moving average price on the accounting tab be set to? If we put an estimated price in - then when we purchase we will get a warning if the variance between the purchase price and the moving average price is too great. And then when the material changes in price (in lets say a year because the vendor has increased prices by 10%) we can no longer update the moving average price.
What is the best practice in this scenario?
Kind Regards,

non stock material (standard material type NLAG) does in general not have accounting views, hence it has no fields for moving average prices.
however it can be customized to have an accounting view, we did it too. This servers the requisition process, with accounting view the price defaults to the requisition. without accouting view, the valuation price needs to be entered manually by a user in the requisition.
The MAP gets only updated if the stock is posted to inventory, which will never be the case for non-stock material, because of this you should always be able to change the MAP directly in the material master with MM02, or if not possible in MM02 with MR21.
