Obtain Category-ID for product/Material.

I would like to know how I can obtain the Category-ID for the product/Material. One of our Functional people have mentioned the field 'COML_PROD_CAT-ACTEGORY-ID' as the field to use, but as this references a structure it's not a great deal of use. Ideally I need either a table that I can read, or maybe an FM that's does the job for me and returns the Category-ID for a given product.
Anyone ?.
Gary King

Hi Gary,
If u prefer use a FM, u can use this: COM_PROD_CAT_REL_READ_WITH_PR
If u want to obtain only one record u have to set in the select the hierarchy_guid.
For example:
select single CATEGORY_ID from COMM_PRPRDCATR
into my_category
where PRODUCT_GUID = my_guid
and HIERARCHY_GUID = my_hierarchy.
Where
my_hierarchy
is the guid of the hierarchy u use. U can get from the table COMM_HIERARCHY.

A/C assignment category mandatory for the material

Hi Gurus,
I am facing the error message"A/c assignment category mandatory for the material" while creating a PO. How to fix this?
Thanks,
Kumar

hi,
For PO you can make the account assignment optional from:
SPRO --> MM -> Purchasing --> PO --> Define screen layout --> Here choose me21 --> see the details....check in the basic data, item details....
For the material type of the material , the qty n value update setting is:
SPRO--> Logistics general --> MM -> Material type -->Define attributes of material type --> in it see for individual material type...
Hope it helps.

Item category group for Raw Materials

Hello Gurus,
Goodmorning,
I have a client requirement,
Here my client is selling the Raw materials , i have some confusion in taking the category group , what is the item category group we have to use for determing for the sales categories ? I don't find any special item category group for raw material . in material master as well as in item category determination in in sales document types too .
looking for your inputs in this regard.
Thanks &Regards
Ravi.M

Hello Ravi,
Sales of Raw material already being discussed some times back.
As I know, as per Central Excise law, you are not suppose to sell the raw material from a manufacturing unit.
Hence, you rename the ROH material code with suffix A. In tcode OSM2, activate sales view tab.
Apart from this, you need to maintain the renamed code in tcode J1ID with numeric value 1 under the tab Declared.
But, normal OR-LF-F2 process.
FYI - Choose of Material tyoe will be important than choose of general item category group. As I Cat group, Materials grouping that helps the system to determine item categories during sales document processing. If a group is configured specific to distribution channel, it has priority if the corresponding activity is distribution channel-dependent. In the standard system, there are normal items, items that signify services (and therefore need no delivery processing) and items that signify packing material, for example.
Thanks & Regards

Item category group for Sales of Nonstock Item with Order Specific Procurem

What will be the item category & group for the material for Sales of Nonstock Item with Order Specific Procurement.So that purchase requestation is created

Hi
As of my Understanding this a scenario of THIRD PARTY SALE WITH SHIPMENT where delivery will be created . Addition to the previous setting few more changes that need to be accomodated like it has to be delivery related billing - A for item category
The indicator 'E' will make sure the Stock will be procured only against the particular sale order and it will be delivered only against this sales order. Apart from this there are few more thing need to be done with the Schedule line level
You need to give the movement type 601, item relevant for delivery need to be checked, order type from the MM side need to be assigned, item category from MM and Account assignment group from MM, all these need to to be maintianed in Schedule line level.
Infact why not TAS , we can use TAN , or ZTAN itself But as per the scenario we need to do the changes as required.
Doing all this we can process this order.
Thanks.................Rishi

To fill in the material number with item category u201CBu201D for Framework Order.

The use of framework orders (also referred to as blanket purchase orders) enables you to procure a variety of materials or services from a vendor up to a predefined maximum value (the value limit).
Instead of a specific delivery date, you specify a validity period for the order.
Goods receipts or the entry and acceptance of services performed are not necessary in the case of a framework PO and limit items.
The invoices are posted directly with reference to the purchase order, provided that the specified value limit is not exceeded. When the value limit of the PO is reached, or the validity period is exceeded, the system issues a warning message. It is possible to book the invoices, but these are blocked for payment.
During the phase of service performance, the cumulative u201Cactual" values (for the services actually performed) are continually updated in the underlying purchase. This enables you to monitor the progress of a procurement project on an ongoing basis. By comparing the "actual" value with the total value, you can always obtain an overview of the degree to which a budget for unplanned services or materials has been exhausted (i.e. see whether predefined limits have been reached or nearly reached).
So with the Framework Order type (FO) and item category u201CBu201D you get the error that it is not allowed to fill in the material number with item category u201CBu201D.
Please suggest me the possible solution to fill in the material number with item category u201CBu201D for Framework Order.
Best Regards,
Harisha

The Framework order type is specialy defined for lesser value procurements (ex: stationeries, cleaning services ....) which are all not worthy to create Material Master at all.
If you are very sure to fill the Material number, then proceed with some other document type.
In what circumstances you want to put material number in FO order?

Partial Production & Partial Sub contracting for halb material

Hi,
we have fert 1000 with halb 2000 and roh 3000. It's MTO Process and for fert i have selected collective indicator 2 and MRP Run with MD50. If halb 2000 stock is available it will be show as stock in md04 screen and if stock is not available we run mrp md03 for halb to genereate planned order. My client wants here to check the capacity availability to produce that halb..if it is available for say qty 1 then partially production order will be created and rest another qty say 1 more will be given to sub contract. In material master i have taken X as procurement type. when i am converting the planned order to purchase requsition i entered the item category as L with out any account assignment. I am not able to take goods receipt for sub contracted material because system is throwing error as account requires and assignment to co object. I also tried using account ssignment M but if do so the received sub contract material is shown against the sales order number stock..so again from there i need to trasfer to unrestriced for using to the header fert production order. I want the halb production order cost and subcontract cost to be accounted to sales order.
Some one Please help me. Answers will be rewarded.
John

Hi,
I believe your solution may be:
1) make settings that while you release the production order system checks the capacity availability, if there then release the order otherwise do not release the order.
2) I think you can go for production version option too where you can either go for external subcontracting or inhouse production.
3) I think you have project systems there. So the cost will definately go to the project if the requirement is against a WBS elememnt for the project & the settings in FICO module have done by your Fi person.

WM Material Staging for Production Order

Hi,
In the process order txn Cor3, Go to > List > WM pick list> the initial screen is Display WM Material Staging for Production Order. In the All parts tab, could you please help me on how to be able to populate the fields in the BSI, Category and Storage Bin. Your help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Dear Ellen,
If you set the cursor on 'BSI' field and push F1 you'll get an explanation about the meaning of each category.
'"1" pick list item
This materials are picked according to the required quantity specified in the production order.
'2': Crate or kanban parts
These materials are always removed from the warehouse in full cases. These can be ordered, for example, as soon as a case of needed parts is emptied in production.
'3': Release order parts
Release order parts are scheduled individually and the quantities are supplied manually to replenishment storage bins based on the requirements of production orders and the stock levels in the scheduled production supply areas.
"0" not relevant to WM-PP
These materials are not relevant for WM production supply and cannot be requested using the WM system.'
For instance:
You can set raw materials / SFG as pick parts if warehouse workers have to collect those parts from high racks (from different places) and they have to provide an exact qty for the PrdOrd.
We use '4' (manual staging) for huge alu rolls that are near the machine and WH workers have nothing to do with it - the operators, who deal with the machine, have to put the new rolls on it.
When we issue the PrdOrd the requirements of this material won't appear in LB10 since WH has nothing to do with them.
'Storage bin' filed will contain a value automatically, if your settings are proper.
E.g. you have to define the default 'stock removal' & 'stock placement' storage type on WM view of material master.
Additionally you have to define control cycles for materials you use for your production. (LPK1)
The control cycle says from which storage type & bin you want to consume the components.

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.

Creation of Production Order for Deleted Material

How can I prevent a production order from being created for a material that has been marked for deletion? Currently, our system generates a warning but allows the order to be created.

Thanks for the suggestion of the material status but I am trying to stay away from assigning a code to a delete flagged material.
The message I am getting is CO732. I went into transaction OPJB to change the message from warning to error but that message is not listed in that transaction. I tried adding it and still received a warning message.
Is there another transaction to check so I can switch it?

Best practice - material staging for production order

Hi Experts,
could any of You pls, support me with some hints of best practice how to handle material staging WM-PP interface in a certain case?
Up till now we had a system, where production had no separate location in IM, but one location existed including raw material wh and production. In the same time in WM we had separate storage types for production and raw materials u2013 hence we did material staging transferring goods only inside one IM location between different WM storage types. The material staging should be done based on separate prd. orders.
Now this need to be changed and separate location need to be handled in IM for production u2013 which means the staging should be done between different IM locations and WM administration also need to be handled.
Up till now we used LP10 for staging, then LB13 for TO creation etc. We can keep going like that, but if do so, there is another step required in IM u2013 movement 311, where material numbers and qty need to be added manually to finish the whole procedure. I would like to avoid this u2013 which makes the administrational procedure quite long.
I have been checking the following possibilities:
1.     Set released order parts-staging at control cycle and use MF60 for staging u2013 but I can not select requirements based on pro ordders here (only able to find demand if component including into selection)
2.     Two step transfer 313/315 u2013 but this not a supported procedure u2013 313 TI /TO / 315
3.     Try to find solution how to create 311 movement based on TO or based on WM stock at certain storage type / dynamic bin.
I have failed.
So, could any of You pls, support me with some useful ideas, how to handle material staging where 311 included and definetly the last step of procedure, but administrator does not need to enter items manually one by one in MIGO.
All answers will be appreciated

Hi,
Storage location control should be able to take care of your problem.
If you want to stage the material to a different IM location then the WM location then make the following settings
If location xxxx is your WM location and location yyyy is your Production location.
You have defined Production storage type ZZZ for production storage location YYYY and have maintained the supply area for the same
In WM configuration - For interfaces - IM interface-Control of Assignment "Plant / Stor.Loc. - Whse Number"
Assign location XXXX as the Standard Location. Maintain entry donot copy sloc in TR for location YYYY
In WM configuration - For interfaces - IM interface- Storage Location control for WH
This entry ensures that there will be a WM tarnsfer Posting between your WM and Production storage Location automatically when you confirm your TO. You can have this done via a btach job also if you want cumulative posting. (schedule job RLLQ0100)
