Pipe Line Material Scenario- interesting

Hi Gurus,
I have a very genuine scenario but not getting any SAP standard solution.
Scenario is, my plant A (power plant) is producing material POWER as FERT and my another plant B consuming ELECTRICITY as pipe line material. So having two plants (different company code) & two material codes.
Now I can consume ELECTRICITY as pipe line material in production order as non stock material and invoice is generating which I can forward that to my Power Plant but in Plant A which is producing POWER I donu2019t have means to reduce Stock.
My Q is
How can I consume or reduce stock in plant A? With reference of invoice is it possible?
It looks me genuine situation of Customer and vendor where, customer is having Pipe line material in its R/3 and Vendor is declared it as finished product in its R/3. So isnu2019t we have any standard process to address this business situation.
thanks in advance

Hi,

QM for Pipe line Material

Hi Experts
Scenario: We have water as Pipe line material. We have activated 89 inspection type & user is creating manual Inspection lot for the same.
Since this is a Pipe line material, there will not be any PO, GR so no inspection lot at GR. We do the GI with 201-P against the cost centre & vendor.
So my requirement is that, can it be possible to somehow create the inspection lot at the time of above GI OR
Any other way to create the inspection lot apart from creating it manually by Inspection type 89?
Looking forward for the favourable reply
Thanks
Sachin

Hi Sachin,
For 201-P u can have GI inspection type 02.Again it is not a stock relevant like 89.

Pipe Line Material Creation

HI
can we creatte process order for pipe line material for example electricity/steam. and can we create pipe line material without info record mean without any vender detail.
Regards

Dear Mr.R.Brahmankar,
This is my problem also i will explain you the scenario
In Industrial Battery manufacturing The electrolyte is a material (Like Potassium Hydroxide and sulphuric acid )which are produced with a certain concentration% in acid reactors in-house and used in Battery manufacturing heavily.
We have assigned these materials thru Activity types in-spite of the requirement of pipe line material. Can we assign this materials which are produced in house (but Category similar to pipe line materials)as pipe line materials in BOM and what would be the Impact on the system.

Production order with pipe line material

Production ordre created and got confirmed and found pipe line materials got stuck in COGI and on analysis found in that specific ordrer ordre pipe line material are not activated with special stock key indicator i.e. 4.
Due to this it got stuck in cogi and for the same material created an order and found there is a allocation and activated with special stock key indicator i.e. 4.
Help me to resolve the existing Goods issue from COGI and cause of not activated with special stock key indicator i.e. 4. in production order.

Dear ,
did the pipe line material is showing in production reservation as one of the BOM compoenent?
If it is the case , then cancel the confirmation in CO13 and try to connfirm the operation with Clear Reservation Option .
Refer the below thread which may help you to figure out the issue :

Pipe line material - complete process

Hi,
Can anyone provide me the complete process for pipe line material..
ie. frm mmr to invoice setlement.
thanks in advance..

Hi,
For Pipeline Process,
1. Create Pipeline Material under material type PIPE
2. You need to maintain the Pipeline Info Record in ME11. Here maintain the Prices and Tax Code mandatory
Also in SPRO > Enterprise Structure > Assignment > Materials Management > Assign standard purchasing organization to plant
There will not be any PO and GR Process for Pipeline materials. We consider that materials are available via Pipes in our plant and we have tp directly book consumption and then settlement of the same.
If Stock is directly consumed from Pipeline Stock via 201 P or 261 P via transaction MB1A or MIGO then following FI Entry will appear;
(GBB-VBR) Consumption Account - Dr
(KON) Pipeline Liabilities - Cr
Now do Pipeline Settlement in MRKO. Here you can not change the Invoice Value. Here following FI Entry will appear;
Vendor Account - Cr
Pipeline Liabilities - Dr
Prerequisite for MRKO: -
- Maintain condition record for output type KONS in MRM1
Then take printout of the Settlement Document in MR91.
Also refer following link;

New scenario - pipe line material - steam

hai friends .
Please guide ..Client wants to capture activity type "per MT" . please inform in case this activity is created, how we can capture the quantity confirmation . Normally machine hours is used.
2. Can we take material type PIPE as BOM component. Here different water consumptions are taken for the FG material costing.
3. How steam and power consumptions are posted between plant to plant.

HI RS
you can maintain steam consumption in standard value key and activity in work center. and if u are working in the REM scenario then you can define the consumption of steam per Mt basis in routing.siliarly activity can be assigned to in cost center tab and can be taken in to cost estimate.
plz revert if it works

Pipe line material not inventorized

Hi,
While running pipeline scenario , when i did GI with Mvt 201 P...System allowed me to do this transaction...
As i do not have any stock for this Material "X" (Material type as PIPE). Then how did system allowed me to issue this material...
I know PIPELINE materials are not inventorized, but my question is WHY system did not asked that stock is not maintained for this material.
There should be some logic behind that?
Utsa

Hi Utsav,

Pipeline Handling
Use
A pipeline material is a material that flows directly into the production process from a pipeline (for example, oil), from a pipe (for example, tap water), or from another similar source (for example, electricity).
A material from the pipeline is always available; i.e. it can be withdrawn from the pipeline at any time and in any quantity.
Depending on the system configuration, a material can be withdrawn only from the pipeline or, in addition to the pipeline, normal stocks of the material can also be managed.
Materials with Material Type PIPE
Pipeline handling is mandatory for materials with material type PIPE; i.e. only withdrawals from the pipeline can be posted for these materials.
These materials have the following characteristics:
They are neither procured nor planned. They can be withdrawn from the pipeline at any time and in any quantity.
They are not stored or kept in stock. No physical inventory is taken.
Pipeline movements are mandatory in all valuation areas; i.e. no other goods movements may be posted.
Other Material Types
For each material type, you can specify in the valuation area whether pipeline movements are:
Mandatory
Allowed
If pipeline movements are not mandatory but allowed, the material can be kept in stock and both pipeline and other movements can be posted.
A material of this type can be withdrawn from your companyu2019s own stock, from consignment stock, or from the pipeline.
Activities
Pipeline Withdrawal
You can enter a pipeline withdrawal for an order or for a cost center. Pipeline withdrawals differ from other goods movements in that they are entered with the special stock indicator P.
The withdrawal is valuated at the price defined in the pipeline info record.
A withdrawal from the pipeline results in the following updates in the system:
The pipeline withdrawal results in a vendor liability that must be settled periodically in a similar way to the management of consignment stocks. In the standard system the same account is used for both pipeline and consignment liabilities, but a different pipeline liabilities account can be defined in Customizing.
A consumption history is kept.
The pipeline withdrawal has no effect on existing warehouse stock or on the availability of the material.
Posting Goods Issue from the Pipeline
A withdrawal from the pipeline is posted as follows:
From the Inventory Management menu, choose Goods movement ® Goods issue.
Maintain the data on the initial screen. Choose Movement type ® Consumption ® To cost center (or To order, To network, All account assignments) ® From pipeline (Movement types : 201 P, 261 P, 281 P, or 291 P)
On the collective entry screen, enter the account assignment. Enter the items.
You do not have to enter the vendor as this will be found automatically by the system.
If more than one vendor is possible, a pop-up window appears with a list of pipeline vendors, from which you can select the vendor you require.
Post the goods movement.
Updates
A withdrawal from the pipeline results in the following updates in the system:
The pipeline withdrawal results in a vendor liability that must be settled periodically in a similar way to the management of consignment stocks.
A consumption history is kept.
The pipeline withdrawal has no effect on existing warehouse stock or on the availability of the material.

Pipe line material

Hi all
   Am attaching material type pipeline in sub contracting BOM.So, when am taking GR (MVT Type 101) for sub contracting part number, system is issuing message the mesaage is
                         Components cannot be withdrawn from special stock P
Kindly guide me to solve the above error
Thanks & Regards
P.Srinivasan

For M/T 101, 'P' stock is not included in possible stock indicators. Try using m/t 201 to GR the material.
201 Goods receipt for a cost center
      The goods can only be withdrawn from unrestricted-use stock.
      Possible special stock indicators:
          o K: Goods withdrawal from
          o consignment stock
          o P: Goods withdrawal from pipeline
      If you have withdrawals from consignment stock and from pipeline, payables to suppliers ensue.
For details about M/Types, check SAP help at http://help.sap.com/saphelp_40b/helpdata/ru/fc/6cec6eb435d1118b3f0060b03ca329/content.htm

Print out of Schedule Lines & Material reqt at subcontractor end.

Hi experts,
Presently we are using ME9E report for taking print out of scheduling agreement. In scheduling agreement, material wise / date wise R.M requirement at Subcontractor end is displayed as well as schedule lines material wise / date wise is displayed.
We do not find it user friendly. We are searching for following reports :
1. Datewise / Material wise requirement of R.M at subcontractor end should be displayed separately.
2. Schedule line qty date wise / material wise should be displayed separately.
Solutions / Suggestions will be highly appreciated.

(8I) SQL*LOADER에서 | (PIPE LINE)을 RECORD SEPARATOR로 사용하기

제품 : ORACLE SERVER
작성날짜 : 2003-10-21
===============================================================
(8I) SQL*LOADER에서 | (PIPE LINE)을 RECORD SEPARATOR로 사용하기
===============================================================
PURPOSE
Oracle8i부터는 , SQL*Loader을 사용할때 record terminator을 지정할 수 있게
되었다.
Explanation
Oracle8i 이전에는 record seperator로 default로 linefeed(carriage return,
newline 등)였다. 이전에는 VAR 또는 FIX 등의 적당한 file을 다루기 위한 옵션을
주어야 하기 때문에 복잡한 감이 있었고 flexible하지 못했다.
Oracle8i부터는 , SQL*Loader을 사용할때 record terminator을 지정할 수 있게
되었다. newline 또는 carriage return 문자를 포함하는 data 또는 special 문자를
포함하는 data를 load하고자 할때 record terminator를 hexadecimal로 지정하여 활용할 수 있다.
Example
다음의 예제는 '|' (pipe line)을 record separator로 사용한다.
record separator를 사용하기 위해서 SQL*Loader의 control file에 'infile'절에 적당한 값을 지정하여야 한다.
아래의 예는 '|' (pipe line)을 사용하기 위해서
"str X'7c0a'"을 'infile'절에 지정하였다.
--controlfile : test.ctl
load data
infile 'test.dat' "str X'7c0a'"
into table test
fields terminated by ',' optionally enclosed by '"'
(col1, col2)
--datafile: test.dat
1,this is the first line of the first record
this is the second|
2,this is the first line of the second record
this is the second|
SQL> desc test
Name Null? Type
COL1 VARCHAR2(4)
COL2 VARCHAR2(100)
$ sqlldr scott/tiger control=test.ctl log=test.log
load된 data을 보면 아래와 같이 carriage return이 들어가 있는 data가 한 column에
제대로 들어간 것을 볼 수 있다.
SQL> select * from test;
COL1
COL2
1
this is the first line of the first record
this is the second
2
this is the first line of the second record

Open PO commitment report, for non-account assigned line material.

Hi expert,
Where can i find a report that gives me the open PO commitment, without any account assignment on the PO?
Meaning it is a warehouse material, but at the end of the period, I need to know wha`t is my commitment, and compare that to my budget.
I know I can get this information at the time of goods receipt, but my point is that I haven`t received the goods yet, and need to know what are my commitments.
I hope I was clear.
Thanks
Fotso

Hi Eli,
When i do exactly what you mentioned above, the system just add a new report which is "Range: Actual/Budget/Commitments
", which comes to the tcode.
So the drill-down lead me to the tcode again.
When I pressed "Configure" in the section Report/report interface, I saw there was already the receiver report "Cost Center: Actual Line Items".
So I guess I should add something similar to "Cost Center: Commitment Line Items". How can I do that?
Thank you
Fotso
