On-Hand check for related items in inventory

Hi All,
We have a generic item (item-A) and three different brands for the generic item (item B,item c,item d) defined in the system.The relation ship between generic item and brand items is also defined.I will have on-hand quantities for the brands and not for the generic item.
1.Is there any way we can show the sum of all brand's on-hand quantity as the on-hand quantity of the generic item using the standard functionality?
2.Can we use min-max planning for the generic item alone and later when the PR is automatically created we will decide which brand to buy in PO
Thanks,
Srihari

The answer to both your question is unfortunately No.
There is no seeded functionality to do that.
You will have to customize the onhand screen and the min-max process.
Hope this answers your question

GR Should check for Related PO in BPM

Hi Friends,
I am doing File to IDOC scenario, I have to do
GR.,which inturn should check whether PO is created for that or not.
while doing GR, it should check for related PO.
If it is not available it shouldnt create,else it should create.
Could anyone let me know how to achieve this thru BPM.
if possible what steps i have to take let me know please.
Regards,
Vijay

Hi Vijay,
in BPM, have a receive step to get source file data.........then have a synch send step in which you will map this source file data to a RFC in r/3 which will tell you whether the PO you are sending in request is existing in r/3 or not and you will get the rfc response from r/3 in this step..............then have a synch send step in which you will have a interface mapping which will take the source file and the response of the above RFC and map it to the request of another RFC which will create GR - you will have to check from the first rfc response whether you will send anything in the GR RFC request - if PO exists, then only send GR data to the second rfc to r/3 and its response will tell you whether your GR was created in r/3 or not.............then have a send step to output this second rfc's response to a file.
now you will have to ask your functional guys to tell you both the RFCs for checking PO and creating GR.

What is the formula for calculating average cost for an item in inventory

Hi,
Can someone please share the formula to calculate average cost for an item in inventory which uses Average Costing?
Thank you,

HI
When a transaction updates the average cost of an item, the new average cost is calculated as follows:

Validation check for an item

I am not sure about how to use regular expression for a validation check for an Item
I might need to check for an item for the below format -
1 , XXX-XXXXX-## ( "3 alphanumeric" , "middle score" , "5 alphanumeric" , "2 digit year" )
2, XX##-### ("2 alphabets ", "2 digit number", " middle score ",3 digit number

Lucy,
Create an item level validation of type regular expression, and use the following for the respective Regular Expression values:
1) ^[[:alnum:]]{3}-[[:alnum:]]{5}-[[:digit:]]{2}$
2) ^[[:alpha:]]{2}[[:digit:]]{2}-[[:digit:]]{3}$I'm only very new to regular expressions, so I welcome being corrected if there's a more efficient way of declaring this. But this works.

Availability check for Alternate items

Hi PP Guys,
In the BOM alternative item group has been maintained with the parameters of Priority, Strategy "2" language probability 100%.
Alternative item group with the strategy " 2 ", it will check for full required quantity of the 1st priority item while doing availability check in the production order, if there is any stock deficit it will check for 2nd priority item for full required quality.
But the requirement is, if there is any stock deficit with the 1st priority item, then quantity available with the 1st priority item should be confirmed and the balance shortfall quantity should check with the 2nd priority item and accordingly it should confirm the requirements.
Please suggest me, is there any way to map the above requirement.
regards,
Purna

Purna,
This is not possible in standard SAP. SAP has provided only two options for this. The one which you explained and the other in which you define the percentage of usage probability.

Thanks for your valuable support.

Hi

I BAPI we cannot instruct the BAPI to maintain a specific username.

Returning project related items to inventory

Items are purchased as an expense whenever a purchase order is raised against a project. Received, delivered and expensed out at the time of receiving. Incase of surplus items, how to return back such expense items into inventory?
What is the best way to return such expense items back to inventory?

You can't return expense items as Inventory.
You need to make them as Inventory Item and perform Misc/account alias
receipt to bring them to stock.
Also, you may need to perform manual journals to adjust the project costing.

Report this postReply with quote Credit check for unconfirmed item

Hello,
I have configured automatic credit control for sales orders.
When a confirmed order quantity is entered, I get a warning message plus the credit block, just as I need. If I have no confirmed quantity of the items, I get no message, just a saved order.
Our item confirmation is done only on what is in stock, not on RLT, so it is common that an item has 0 confirmation. I need a credit block if the value would otherwise exceed the open credit limit? How can I do this? I've tried both the static and dynamic checks, but they only work with confirmed quantities.
Thanks

pricing:
   step Des                      From     print     subtotal
   120   Total                                   X        1
   130   Credit value           120         X        A
and also in automatic credit control select open orders
but system calculate the credit value=confirmed quantity*price.

Commulative On Hand Stock for same Items

Dear All,
I have a problem in On Hand Stock. My client have some items registered in Oracle with different code but these are alternate of each other, Stock of one item has zero quantity but the second item which is alternate has some quantity in it. Now my client wants the On hand quantity should be commulative quantity of all the items those are alternate of each other. is there any way to handle this in Oracle Inventory?
regards,

You can define item relationships but still you will not be able to add the quantities in each other virtually. All you can do is to run the item quantities report on those items that you want to group and schedule the report so that your client can see the items grouped frequently.

Wrong Availability check for Header Item in Sales BOM after BOP

Hi Guys
I am stuck with a very weird problem. Request your advice:
I have a Sales BOM with one item Lets header is 'A' and Item 'B'. On creation of Sales Order ATP check is performed and both the line items (with A and B) the committed qty and committed date.
Now when BOP runs, it deletes the allocation of A and changes it to '0'
Details:
'A' is a non stockable product
Req:
1. I am not sure whether I should include A in BOP selection, however even running it only with B it deletes the allocation of A and the committed qty changes to '0'
Can you please suggest the solution or standard way of running BOP for Sales BOM
Thanks in advance
-Rahul

Thanks for writing in Prasun
Yes I created a new Filter type however when you add a STO category and then you change the fields to include item category you will get the same error. I am also in V 5.0 of SCM
Normally we use SAP_NetChange filter type. So is it possible to restrict using item category for this filter some how!
On the otherhand I also wonder these should not ATP relevant as the header item is non stockable item! And I guess there should some catch to exclude if not item category as you mentioned!
So the order categories included are:
Customer Inquiry
Customer quotation
Sales Order
SD Scheduling Agreement
SD Scheduling agreement w/external
Contract
Delivery w/io charge
Independent requriement
Release from customer in plant
STO
Deplyometn release
TLB release for purc ord
Fields
Product
location
distribution centrer
MRP area
product Hierarchy
Location hierarchy
supplier location
These are std filter type and I cant be modified.. however we restrict our filter to location only!
Kindly advice!
Thanks in advance

Unlimited check for Service items on contracts

Hello,
When I'm creating a contract for a service item, on the item detail the checkbox for Unlimited is always checked.
Why is this developed like that? and is there a way to modify this behavior?
Regards,
Nelson

Hi,
On the item detail screen this flag should be left set as it is defaulted.
The real limits are stored at the service specification levels and NOT at the PO item details level.
If you test this you will find that the flag that you are indicating here does not affect the process because the actual flags at the lower level are used.
So unless this is giving you a real problem, leave it as it is.

Unable to create delivery for BOM items not in stock??

Hi Experts,
We have created a sales order with Parent item and its 3 BOM items, with pricing doen at BOM items. Of the three BOM items, stock exists for only 1 item. When we are trying to create the delivery, it is bringing only the stock item in delivery overview and not the items without stock. We would like:
1. System to bring all the items while creating delivery. It may not permit picking and PGI till the stock is brought in system.
2. System to not allow creating delivery till stock exists for all the required items.
For the non-stock items, system is not allowing to carry out the availability check also. It can give a future date and confirm the quantity for future delivery!!
Please provide your expert opinions asap. Points would be awarded to all helpful answers.
Regards,
Peeyoosh.

Hi Peeyoosh,
had you a look at the customizing of your item categories for delivery? Did you use the standard item category TAN? Perhaps the customizing of "availabilty check for delivery item" and "Check quantity 0" in your category for delivery will bring you forward.

Checking for Purchases (Every Time)

Every time I open iTunes 7.2 it asks me for my Apple ID and password so it can check for purchased items. It's super weird. I have no purchased items to download and the "Check automatically for purchased content" is unchecked in the prefs.
I've tried entering my password and hitting "check"... tried hitting "cancel". Nothing works. Tried hitting up the email tech support and was sent articles on authorizing my computer. Thanks Apple.
iTunes still asks for my password and ID every time I open the program. I can still use the program no prob, but it's annoying and leads me to think there's Something Very Wrong.
Anybody got a fix? Thanks!

I fixed it on my machine. I found a file called list.plist in a folder called Downloads in my iTunes Music folder. After I moved this file to the trash, the behavior stopped.
I first verified that I had no other outstanding downloads before I deleted the file. I don't know what will happen if you do have outstanding downloads and delete this file. It would suck to lose music you paid for so proceed with caution.
I think I know what caused it in my case. I tried to buy a drm free album the day they came out. The downloads kept timing out because iTunes was getting slammed. Eventually I was able to get the download to complete but after that I was getting the annoying check for downloads prompt every-time I launched iTunes. The list.plist file I found contains references to the music file names that were timing out.

Purchasing - A/P Transaction Processing for Services and Non Inventory Item

On of the main areas of concern that businesses have is in the area of Purchasing, Goods Receipts and AP Invoices Processing - There is a requirement that businesses have widely referred to as 3-way matching.
While SAP Business One has this functionality covered quiet well via the following, there is still some need for enhancements so that the application can correctly reflect the AP Accruals:
- Purchase Order processing with Approval Process (if configured)
- Ability to perform Goods Receipts for Services.
- Matching of AP Invoices to Goods Receipts with AP Invoice Approval Process (if configured)
The above transactions serve the 3-way matching quiet well for all purchases however when it comes to accuring for Services that have been provided, the application does not do this. The Goods Receipt transaction processing to acknowledge the service delivery is allowed however the related posting to the allocation account is missing.
The process that is followed by the application is same for Items that have not Inventory Items in Item Master.
As a result of the above, the business have to manually work out what the Accurals for services provided but not invoiced should be.
With little enhancement to the product this shortfall could very easily be overcome.

Hi,
Once there are transactions, we cannot make existing Inventory type item to Non Inventory type item.
Check SAP note:937297 which states as follows :
Symptom
Changing the status of the Inventory Item checkbox (in Item Master Data) for items with inventory transactions and documents, might lead to inaccuracies in the calculations of inventory value.
Other terms
Inventory Item, Non-inventory Item, Item Master Data, Continuous Stock, Perpetual Inventory, Inventory Valuation, 2004, 2005, 2005 A SP01
Reason and Prerequisites
Consulting Note
Solution
The status of an item (Inventory Item/Non-Inventory item as selected in the Inventory Item checkbox in the Item Master Data window), cannot be changed once an A/P, A/R, or Inventory document is posted for the item.
