Physical Invnetory Tolerance in Material Master

Hi
Is their any way to maintain the Physical Inventory Tolerance in Material Master along with ABC indicator ?
Thanks

Hi Nick,
As far as i know there's no way to set Physical Inventory difference tolerance limits in the material master. However, you can define upper tolerance limits for difference postings in physical inventory. These tolerance limits can be defined for total and/or each item of physical inventory difference. Then these tolerance groups has to be assigned to specific user names in the system (or "*" to all). This can be accomplished in IMG settings under MM-Inventory Management and Physical Inventory >Physical Inventory>Define Tolerances for Physical Inventory Differences. Read the IMG help documentation to gain a deeper understanding of this feature.
Let me know if this helped.

Physical inventory block in material master

Hi
In Material Master, Plant/Storage location stock view, there is a field "physical inventory block".
I want ot remove the block to one of the materials.
How to edit the field. In change mode (MM02), the whole view is in diplay mode only.
any suggestions please
regards
prasad

Hi,
It seems there is on PID (Physical inventory document)document active for that material.
To remove block indicater for material Goto transaction MI22 there you can find whcich PID document active for material.
Then take the PID document complete the physical inventory process else you can delete PID document through MI02 transaction.
PID steps:
MI01 create PID document
MI04 Enter inventory Count
MI11 enter recount.
MI07 Post Inventory differencess.
Hope this would help,

Current period in Accounting 1 view of Material Master

Dear Experts,
In Accounting 1 view of Material Master there is a current period, now it is 12 2009.
Is it possible to make it 11 2009, if yes how to do it.
Please help if you have solution. it is very crucial for me.
Thank you for your support.
Regards,
Zusen

Hi,
Please read the Solution part of note 487381. There is still a few things need to be carry out before you can proceed
with the initialization :
Bear in mind that the initialization of a posting period has the
following effects concerning the period stocks:
    o The initialization of the posting period to a previous or to any
       posting period may lead to the loss of the information of the
       inventory balances of the previous periods.The book value of the
       current posting period is taken as the basis also for values of
       the previous period in this case.
       If you want to continue working with this new posting period, in
       addition you should execute report Z_DEL_HIST_ENTRIES attached so
       that history entries greater or equal to the new posting period
       will be deleted.
    o If you have to briefly reset the posting period by one period
       (for example, postings must still be posted in a certain period)
       just to make a correction (and for a small number of postings),
       you should initialize the posting period back again to the old
       value so that the values of the previous period will not be lost
       (you should forbid postings when carrying out corrections).
       However, afterwards the values of the previous period or the
       history records (as of Release 4.5) of the materials posted in
       this case are inaccurate.
       You should NOT execute report Z_DEL_HIST_ENTRIES in this case.
    o However, if the posting period is generally reset again to a
       previous posting period and if postings were made during this
       time, all information on the inventory balance of the previous
       periods is lost.
       As of Release 4.5a, you should use the cited correction report
    Z_DEL_HIST_ENTRIES in order to delete history records that are
    more current than the current posting period.Otherwise, it can
    result in deviations (inconsistencies) for the update of the
    history records.
o Important! If there are open physical inventory documents that
    have status 'counted' or for which indicator 'Freeze inventory
    balance' has been set, you should reject these if they refer to a
    previous period or have been created in the former previous
    period.The inventory difference to be posted can be determined
    from the current book value of the previous period and the book
    quantity frozen in the physical inventory document (ISEG-BUCHM)
    and does not match the inventory balance of the previous period
    that is currently valid.

Goods receipt reference to Purchase Order non-material master items

Dear all,
Platform: SAP R/3 4.7
I'm working in my customer environment whereby the purchasing scenario is as follows:
1. Create a normal PR me51n -. enter material description for the item to purchase, qty, price, plant and etc. My customer doesn't maintain material master for their items.
2. Create a normal PO me21n with reference to the PR. The information from the PR is automatically copied to the PO.
3. They receive the physical item and now it's time to perform GR.
My question:
Can I perform GR with reference to PO since the item in the PO is not from the material master, meaning there's no material # maintained for that item? I'd like to record the items ordered into the plant.
Thanks.
Steven

Hi Shubham,
"Hi,
Yes always you can make GR against of PO irrespective of material master maintained or short desription, which is commonly called non codified material.
Ccan be procuured against Account assignment ( cost center) which have to eneter in PR/PO in the account column then material group, which is mandatory field with this G/R/IR clearing account will get triggered during GR which is debit entry & GL which is maintained in the PO with the combnination of cost ceneter will be the Cr entry. Hope this helps you."
I'm still kind of confused. Normally, if a material master is maintained for an item, under accounting 1 view, we assign a valuation class. During GR, it will hit transaction key in OBYC - BSX and the system will be able to locate the corresponding GL account # mapped to that valuation class in the material master.
Now, for this "non codified material" you mentioned, how does the R/3 know which GL to assign? There's no accounting view for it since it's just a text description. This is where I'm really confused.
Thanks.
Steven

Unit of measure in Material Master after PO's created

Hello Everyone,
I know that we can't change the material measure unit once PO's and other documents are created.
What can I do with the PO so i can change the material measure unit?
Thanks in Advance.

From OSS note 138767
Within the material master record maintenance, you want to change the base unit of measure (base unit). During the change, the system performs extensive checks in order to avoid inconsistencies in the applications which use the material master.
In particular, the following checks are performed:
The base unit must not be defined as an alternative unit of measure for the material
No International Article Number must be assigned to the base unit
No proportion/product units must be defined for the material
No configurable material must be assigned
The material must not be used as a configurable material
Stock must neither exist for the previous period nor for the current period
No physical inventory must be active
No reservations or dependent requirements must exist for which the deletion indicator is not set
No planned orders must exist
No purchase requisitions, purchase orders or scheduling agreements must exist for which the deletion indicator is not set
No WM transfer requirements, no WM quants or no WM posting change notices must exist
The material must not be a bill of material
The material must not be contained in a bill of material
The material must not be used as a production resource/tool
The material must not be used in task lists
No standard cost estimate must exist for the current or future period
No production orders must exist
No planned independent requirements must exist
No run schedule headers must exist
If the base unit has dimensions, no serial number profile must be assigned
No sales and distribution documents must exist which have status Not processed or Partially processed.
Solution
If necessary, all reasons mentioned above must be eliminated by archiving the objects listed.

Changing Base Unit Of Measure (Material Master)

Hi
1. How to check this? (Any successful changes in material master only took place when there is no open document from SD, PP, MM & FI for that material. )
2. Base unit of measurement cannot be changed. The reason being material movement history is there in table - MSEG mainly which otherwise create inconsistency in reporting. -
Is this line applicable for current period or previous period in current year or previous period previous year???
3. There are no existing purchase requisitions, purchase orders, or scheduling agreements for the material. -
is this means open / pending purchase orders or the the PO's created in system with respect to material where the GR and IR is already done
4. You can change the base unit of measure if there is no stock of the material during current and previous period----
is this means the term " previous preiod" is previous period in the current finacial year   or its applicable for the previous preiod in previous financial year
5. Post the stock in the previous period to the current period - -
how can we do this???
Vijay

Solution
If necessary, all reasons mentioned above must be eliminated by archiving the objects listed
1) SAP checks this for you. A new button will appear in MM02 and after you click this button to check the error log, you will see which documents exist.
2) I have not seen that an existing movement will restrict the change of a BUoM.
3) No purchase requisitions, purchase orders or scheduling agreements must exist for which the deletion indicator is not set
       it is not caring about GR done or IR done. it telling you that the deletion indicator has to be active. As a deletion indicator can be reset easily, you probably have to archive the documents
4) the previous period is the period before the current period.
   today we have February, hence the previous period is January.
5) first make sure your current stock is higher than the stock of the previous period. if it is lower, then you have to create inventory in current period first e.g. with 202 movement with current date.
Then you issue the previous period stock with 201 movement and previous period date (make sure periods are open in OB52 and MMRV allows posting to previous period).
Finally you issue the left stock in the current period with 201 and current date.
Now previous period and current period stock is zero. After the change of the base unit you have to get the stock back into the system

Units of Measures found in the material master.

Hi,
What is significance of different Units of Measures found in the material master.
Ajay

Hi,
Order unit
Unit of measure in which a material is ordered. It is the default unit in purchasing functions.
Order price unit
Unit in which the vendor invoices you. The order price unit is defined in the purchase order or in the purchasing info record. If you have defined an order price unit in the PO, the goods receipt will be recorded in both the order unit and the order price unit.
Sales unit
Unit of measure in which a material is sold. It automatically appears as the default in a sales order and can be changed there.
Unit of issue
Unit of measure in which a material is issued from the warehouse/stores. You can use this unit of measure in conjunction with goods issues and physical inventory activities.
Any quantities that you specify in a unit of measure other than the base unit are automatically converted into the base unit by the system. To make this possible, you must enter the ratio for conversions between alternative units and the base unit (the conversion factor) in the material master record. You can enter this information when specifying the alternative unit of measure

Physical Inventory with Serialized Material Masters

Our meter inventory is serialized under material masters for each meter type. We have separate plants for our gas vs. electric meters, and only one storage location per plant. In one case we have over 15,000 meters under one material master. When performing a physical inventory for material master A we have to enter over 15,000 serial numbers. Has anyone found a good way to enter the count results when you can only enter 18 serial numbers at a time then page down to enter the next set of 18 serial numbers and so on until 15,000 meter serial numbers are entered?
During testing, we also found that if the entered quantity is not a match to the number of validated serial numbers entered in the Maintain Serial Numbers screen, you need to cancel the session, and start over. Is there a way to correct the inventory quantity without loosing all of the serial numbers just entered?

Hi Ken,
Not sure which transaction code you are using. However, the place where you are updating serial number, take a F4; this will open a selection screen (Similar to IQ09 selection screen). On this serial number selection screen, press multiple selection button on serial number - where you will see pop-up for multiple selection for serial number. In this pop-up window, you have one button called "Import from text file". Use this button to upload 15,000 serial numbers and select them.
So, prerequisite is to create one flat file with 15,000 serial numbers.
Hope this helps.

Avinash

Program to update info record with material master data

I am trying to determine if there is a standard SAP program that can be run as a batch file to update the fields in the info record with the same fields that are in the material master? ie: Planned delivery time, Tolerance, purchasing group etc.

Hi,
There is no standard report or transaction that can do this.
The data from these fields in the material master is brought in as a default to the info record when it is created. beyond this point the Info record is treated as being the correct data regardless of what happens to the material master data and so no updates occur in the standard system.
It would not be difficult to build an LSMW job to copy the data from the material master to the info records and this would be the recommendation if you want to do this.

Load Material Data in the Material Master

Hi All,
We have the Material Ledger Active at the Material Level. We are using ECC 6.0 with the highest enhancement pack.
   The requirement is to load the Moving average prices for the Company code currency and Group Currency as a part of
   Material Master Data Migration.
   I am using a the business object BUS1001006's SAVEDATA method (Basic type MATMAS_BAPI03) in a LSMW to achieve
   this.
   This IDOC does not provide me the structure or fields to load the Material Ledger Data. I tried passing the price to the
MBEW-VERPR however the price is not updated.
   One workaround is to use MR21 however that would be a seperate program which we want to avoid.
   Has anyone done this before. Will greatly appreciate any help/suggestions.
   Thank you for your time.
Regards,
Vamsee

Yes, I am loading from the text file.
My Zmaterial is defined as InfoObject with text data language dependent.
Now I want to load this master data through flat file.
I created FlatFile under source System and then created a DataSource. Under Extraction tab I selected the physical location of my flat file with csv separator and all. Then under proposal I saw preview of my data. Later under Fields tab, For Language I selected 0HTLANG
For Materialid I selected Zmaterial (defined by me)
But now there is one more field remaining MAterial Description, across that field what Template InfoObject should I put? Thats my confusion.
After this I can click on Preview and then load that data in PSA thru infopackage. then later into InfoObject.
Please inform.
thnx

Flag Unlimited Overdelivery not purpose from material master for po with as

Dear.
I have a material with flag unlimited overdelivery filled in the material master purchasing view.
When I convert a pr to a u201Cnormalu201D purchase order (without account assignment) the system rightly purposed this flag.
When I convert a purchase requisition with project account assignment category (category Q) in the po the system donu2019t set this flag.
Do you know the reason of this behavior ?
Thanks in advance.

Do you reference a contract in case of the project purchases?
then check the contract if different tolerances are setup there.
maybe it is caused by a program bug that is fixed with OSS Note 1644491 - unlimited overdelivery flag is cleared with price change

Inventory management: posting block : material master field

Hi,
In het material master you have a field Physical Inventory Blocking Indicator, but when I create a counting document (MI01) with posting block. The field in the material master is still blank. How can this happen?
Best regards,
Eric.

Hi Eric,
I guess there is some inconsistency in your system,
Please refer to the SAP Note 355939 & 192571 and you might be able to fix the bug..
Note 355939
Summary
Symptom
This note is only of importance for you if you execute physical inventory functions using the R/3 System. The inconsistencies can usually be adequately eliminated using Note 192571. This note is only intended for customers who did not discover the inconsistency in the first period of the new fiscal year and who now have problems with the physical inventory indicators.
Additional key words
RMMMPERI, MMPV, physical inventory, PIINKON, MARD-KZILL, MARD-SPERR
Cause and prerequisites
See Note 192571.
Solution
To eliminate the inconsistencies, carry out the following steps in the corresponding sequence:
1. Implement the corrections from Note 192571
2. Also implement the attached correction instructions
3. Start program ZREPPI_FLAGS (from Note 192571)
4. Start program ZINVUT30 (from Note 67072)
Source code corrections
Note 192571
Summary
Symptom
Preliminary note:
This note only applies to you if you execute physical inventory functions in the R/3 System.
In the log of the period closing program running during the fiscal year change, the number of the records closed does not correspond to the actual number of records in the corresponding stock table on the database.
As a result, the physical inventory indicators were not moved from the current fiscal year to the previous year in the records that are not closed. This means that materials, for which a physical inventory was carried out in the previous year, are dealt with by the system as if a physical inventory has already been carried out in the current year.
This problem can affect materials created before the upgrade to Release 4.5.
Additional key words
RMMMPERI, MMPV, inventory, PIINKON, MARD-KZILL, MARD-SPERR
Cause and prerequisites
The problem is caused by a program error.
Solution
If you have not yet carried out the fiscal year change (for example, if you have a fiscal year variant with non-calendar fiscal year), the attached correction can correct the error.
If you do not yet use Release 4.5B with at least Hot Package 09, in the four following form routines you must implement the deletion/insertion sequence listed in the attachment only once. Do not implement them twice each time as described in the "Corrections" section.
- Form MARD_UPDATE_JW_DB2DB4
- Form MCHB_UPDATE_JW_DB2DB4
- Form MSKA_UPDATE_JW_DB2DB4
- Form MSKU_UPDATE_JW_DB2DB4
Caution: Implement the corrections WITHOUT comment lines or added comments !!!
Comments between EXEC SQL and ENDEXEC can lead to the 'DBIF_DSQL2_SQL_ERROR' at the fiscal year change.
If you carried out the fiscal year change in Release 4.5 or 4.6A and use R/3 Physical Inventory Management, you can, after implementing the attached correction in your system, repair the affected records as follows:
Run correction report ZREPPI_FLAGS.
After the execution of report ZREPPI_FLAGS, you should implement report ZINVUT30 mentioned in Note 67072 in your system and execute the report for those materials for which a physical inventory has already been executed in the current fiscal year.
If you recognize the inconsistency only in a later period, also refer to Note 355939.
Trust this helps
Regards
Merwyn

Quantity Tolerance for material in the PO and GR

Hi Gurus,
I have this requirement, specific material type( i.e ERSA) quantity in the PO is 100 then if I GR it, I want to have converted the 100 quantity to 150. How can this be happen? Changing the tolerance in the info record or material master?i have tried it but still doesnu2019t work?How can I do that? Converting the PO quantity to a specific quantity without changing the original figures in the PO. Please help.
Thanks!

The system will not automatically convert the 100 qty to 150 qty while GRN....
We have to set the Over delivery tolerance in PO line item for what you want to excess recieve the materials while doing GRN based on your PO qty...and also
we can set the unlimited tab in PO line item for recieveing excess materials during GRN.

Entry Aids for Items Without a Material Master - usage

Hi
Can anyone tell me what's usage of "Entry Aids for Items Without a Material Master" (spro-mm-purchasing-mat master-entry aids..)
and what it controls???

Hi,
In this step, you can assign a purchasing value key and a valuation class to a material group.
The assignment of a purchasing value key provides you with default values for reminder levels etc. in purchase order items without a material master record and without an info record.
The assignment of a valuation class to a material group enables the system to determine different accounts for the individual material groups.
This is usally useful for creation of PO and account posting for materials without an MMR.
When you create a PO you mention only the material group, based on which the purchase info like the Deadline monitorying, over/under delivery tolerances, Vendor evaluation etc gets incorporated into the PO. The account posting will get captured against the Valuation class maintained to the Material Group for which the GL account mapping will be done against the V.Class in the OBYC.

Merwyn
