Pipeline material in Network order

We have requirement to user material with material type PIPELINE and backflush these components during confirmation of network.
I am getting error message 'Material XXXX  is incompatible with item category PIPE ' during assignment of Pipeline materials to Network.  we choosing item category = N (non stock) to assign pipeline materials to the activities.
Please advise, if some has used pipeline materials in network and backflushed by using CN25.

Hi
Do check with your MM consultant to fix the item category group "PIPE" defined the used material. Error is explanatory.
I have no idea whether we can use pipeline material with Item category "N". Generally Pipeline material (raw material is pumped from storage tanks to produciton unit. this material could be in the form of liquid or semi liquid. In my past project we have different concept used by PP to measure Qty consumed to produce final product but not used these materials on project network) are being used in process industry to measure the Qty being consumed for producing final product. In that case, I guess, your material never be a Non-stock item. Becaue of this reason system might be throwing error.

  • Sales order for pipeline material type..

    Hi All,
    How can we raise the sales order for pipeline material..
    Is schedule lines will be there for the sales order raised for pipeline material???

    Hi
    Seems you working on  IS Utilities, please corerct if Wrong and if I am wrong to guess you are working on IS Utilities then the next story dosn't make any sence.
    PIPEline material type is used for Materials such as oil, power, or water that flow into the production process directly from a pipeline, line, or other type of conduit. Since pipeline materials are always available, they are not planned.
    To answer specifically what you asked would be as follows:
    1. The fact that material type is PIPE from an SD standpoint is irrelevant
    2. lets consider your PIPEline material is power, your UOM should be Kilowatt hours and establish price for it.
    3. "deliver" the material and bill it.
    However, taking the whole business context of sale of electricity into account why you want to sell PIPEline material without using IS Utilities. Typically electrical utiltity requirements have some unique challenges not easily met by SD:
    1. Amount to be billed to the customer is from meter readings.
    2. The bill to the customer ( at least in North America) is not so much of an invoice as opposed to statement of accounts that includes meter readings, consumption history etc.
    I will suggest to look into IS Utilties first before getting into SD.

  • Info Record creation for Pipeline Material

    Hello,
    I am having issued while creating the Info records for a Pipeline Material(water)
    This is the error.
    "Material XXXX not a pipeline material" where as I have created the material as a Pipeline.
    I have Info Record created previously for other plants within same Porg and CC.
    Need the Info record in the Process Order where it does not allow to confirm the Order without the price that comes from Info Record
    Can anyone tell me what is the issue?
    Thanks
    SAP Fans...

    Hi,
    Confirm that the material XXXX is created under material type "PIPE"
    check for the material type in T code OMS2, whether "Pipeline mandatory" is active. And under "Quantity/value updating" option "Quantity updating" and "Value updating" should not be active.
    Hope it helps..

  • Pipeline Material

    Hi Gurus,
    I have a scenario in which I need expert opinion and process flow of Pipeline Material.
    The scenario is :
    We procured the water from outside and then stored in Tank. The water will be further purified and stored in other tanks. In the process of purification, different charges has been incured i.e. labor hours, machine hours, chemicals etc. That is recorded separately on cost centre as expense.
    The purified water will then be used in production through pipeline. We are not maintaining any inventory of the purified water.
    I have studied that these kind of materials will be handled through Pipeline Materials. The step of using the pipeline material is to create the material master; create info record; maintain price in info record and issue the material.
    What my questions are:
    .) What configurations will be required other than number range and valuation class for pipeline material?
    .) Can we use the pipeline materials in BOM and in Process Order?
    .) How can we issue the material when we issue materials against Process Order?
    .) What will be the proper accounting entries?
    .) If someone provide the detail of Pipeline material?
    Good response will be appreciated.
    Regards

    Dear Imran,
    As per your question, please find my reply as below:
    What configurations will be required other than number range and valuation class for pipeline material?
    1) You have to create material for material type PIPE.
    2) Create Pipeline Info record .
    3) Do the goods issue with mvt 201 P.
    Can we use the pipeline materials in BOM and in Process Order?
    No you can not use  pipeline materials in BOM and in Process Order.
    How can we issue the material when we issue materials against Process Order
    Pipe line materials will be directly issued with mvt 201 P, there is no relation of PO in this.
    What will be the proper accounting entries?
    Accounting entries after GI will be :
    Consumption DR(+)
    Pipeline payables CR(-)
    If someone provide the detail of Pipeline material?
    Hope these information helps you

  • Default Movement for Pipeline Material (261 P)

    Hi PP Experts,
    I would like to default the movement "261 P" upon entering the goods movement part in COR6N (process order confirmation). Right now, when I enter the transaction, only movement 261 is defaulted. I still have to click the button "Stock Determination" just to get the default vendor and special stock indicator P.
    Is there a quicker way to do it?
    BTW, I already 1) created a pipeline inforecord 2) defined the material in the source list 3) assign a stock determination group for pipeline withdrawal.
    Hope you guys can help. Thanks!
    Regards,
    Marvin

    Dear,
    While create the process order you need to define it as a Pipeline material in through Special stock indicator as 4 in componenet (Material ) screen then it will get default in Confirmation.

  • Pipeline Material Error

    Hi,
    One of the raw material used during production is D M Water which is produced in house. have
    When I am trying to issue the pipeline material to production,
    I am getting error " Pipeline material has no fixed vendor"
    Message No - M7164
    Please suggest what I have to do to resolve the issue.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Pavan

    Hi
    First of all you should understand that the material used in the production of the DM water is produced in house.So it not raw material .
    Example
    DM Water (FG)  is manufactured using Some SFG(Water) and this is using some input  material as water(RM).
    Now Input material RM can be treated as Pipeline and you have to make inforecord  with pipeline and you can issue the material and settle liabilty using MRKO.
    you have to create the production order  for SFG ( water ) and  FG water.
    regards

  • Pipeline material with contract

    Hu Guys,
    Went through the forum to find some answer about pipeline material I have almost everything.
    My compnay wnat to use pipeline material for electricity and Gas.
    I have seen on the forum that Pipeline material can (ONLY??) work with info record or souce list.
    Can we assign a contract to the source or it has to be a PIR.

  • Po for pipeline material

    Hi guys,
    Can we create a purchase order or contract for pipeline material?

    Hi,
    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. Consumption of the material is settled with the vendor on a regular basis
    1. Cretae Pipeline material with material type “Pipeline”
    2. Cretae Source list,
    3. Cretae Info record and maintain Price,
    po etc is not genrated u can directly do the good issue
    The Accounting Generated After GI/Settlement are:
    1. Goods Issue
    Consumption A/C: DR
    A/c Payable For Pipeline : CR
    2. Pipeline Settlement
    A/c Payable For Pipeline : DR
    Vendor Account A/C: CR
    Reward points if helpful,

  • MRS  Auto Scheduling  Network Order

    Has any one in the forum implemented or know how to achieve Automatic Scheduling of Demand  (Network Order/ Network Activity ) created through PS (Project Systems) in the MRS tool. ?  Using Service Orders, this is a configurable item, with a BAdI for changes if necessary. But this does not apply to Network Orders. I am considering various options, but would like to know if this could be done without modifying an SAP standard program. Options tried out include calling FM ; /MRSS/API_ASSIGNMENT_CRE,  this however fails to  assign the demand in the planning board, although it would assign demand in debug mode. I have equally tried  Recoding and creating a BDC, but the Resource fields are not captured in the recording.  Any hint would serve.
    Regards
    Oppress

    Have you tried automatic scheduling on the network itself?  In PS you can configure the network to auto schedule if the dates are changed.  You may find that making changes to the dates in the network from MRS causes the network to reschedule itself.

  • Add new F4 (searchhelp) for material in sales order

    Hi there!
    I read the following related poste:
    customisation of F4 for material in sales order
    In that post Atul wanted to change an existing search help. My problem is differnet I think.
    What I have:
    In VA01 I have many different SearchHelps for the material: 9 standards and 2 from my serviceprovider. The standards have shortcuts M, A, H, K, L, N, O, P and S. The two custom ones have 2 and Y.
    in MM03 I have even more different SearchHelps for the material: maybe 23 standards and 3 customized ones. The standards have the shortcuts M, A, B, C, E, F, H, I, J, K, L, N, O, P, R, S, T, V and W (then one without ?!?), then G, U. The custom ones are 1, 2, 3, Y.
    I now want to use the searchhelp (for example) "I" (in german its "Artikel zur Liefarentenartikelnummer", so I think its about "Material from suppliermaterialnuber" in english) that I can use in MM03 as well in VA01.
    Where do I have to customize / program things to do so?
    Thanks in advance!

    Works!
    I had to include the Searchhelp MAT1I into the section "included searchhelps" of searchhelp SD_MAT1 within transaction SE11 and run the default parameter assignment (Button).
    I know it was MAT1I because I looked it up in Searchhelp MAT1_A... just to round this ticket for maybe the next readers.

  • Material in purchase order doesnot appear in ME2O

    Dear MM Experts,
    I am PM Consultant but the problem is really weird, after releasing a subcontracting maintenance order and then creating a purchase order for the material in the order, the material doesnot appear in ME2O , by the way this only happen with some materials but not all materials in the system,
    Any help will be appreciated reallly,
    Thanks in advance

    ME2O is not a purchase order monitor, it is meant to monitor components of a subcontract order and create deliveries to your subcontractor.
    If ME2O does not show your order, then you either did a wrong selection, or your PO does not have any components.

  • Excess Issue of Material against Production Order

    Hi
    For Goods Issue of Material against Production order , i want the system to control excess issue of material against Production order.  How can it be controlled.
    Regards
    Madhesh Kumar

    Hi Madhesh,
    there are many loop holes to issue excess stock against production order
    so better you use user exit so that when ever any material issued against production order and it is in excess then throw error

  • Error in pipeline material creation

    hi,
    we want to create one pipeline material as per our new requirement for showing gas consumption.during material creation with mat type PIPE, it's showing an error:The field Profit Center is defined as a required field; it does not contain
    an entry.
    Procedure
        If the field is the material group or unit of weight, and the field is not ready for input, check whether the material is locked. If it is locked, you cannot extend the Purchasing view or the Sales view. If either of these views needs to be extended, the material must first be unlocked. This can be done only by a user with special authorization.
    thanx,
    sheetal

    Hi
    In your client if Profit center accounting(PCA) is activated ,then you need to maintain the Profit center for the material.
    Option 1: goto OMS2, got details of pipleine material & select the Costing View of the material.
    Now goto MM01 in creation of pipeline material & maintain the profit center in Cotsing 1 View.
    Deactivating the field from mandatory to optional will not serve your purpose as PCA will get affected.
    Thanks & Regards

  • Transfer of material from sales order stock to subcontractor

    Iam having subcontracting operation in routing. But i am not able to transfer of material from sales order stock to subcontractor when i do 541 movement

    Dear Mayuresh,
    You cannot move Sales Order assigned material directly to Sub contracting Vendor stock.
    For doing so firstly unassign the Sales order stock by transaction MB1B & movement type 411E.
    After this you can provide the stock to the vendor by transaction MB1B & movement type 541O.
    Other way is to create account assigned Purchase Orders. Thereafter create virtual sub contractor storage location in your plant. Transfer your Sales Order assigned material to these Virtual locations so that you can see the stock provided to the vendor. Now during Goods Receipt of the finished goods you can consume the material by movement type 543E.

    Subha.

  • Bill Of Material In Sales Order

    Hi SD Experts,
    My scenario is this
    " When i enter a particular material ( say Home theatre system model number ) in the sales order, the BOM should be exploded and its package contents like connecting wire of 5 mts * 2 quantity , Speaker stands and its quantity depends on the Music system like that it should be displayed in the sales order..
    And also i want to know the configuration of BOM (Material and its accompanying material in the order) for sales order like these type.
    Pl's suggest me how to proceed.
    regards ,
    James
    Valuable answers will be rewarded...

    Hi James,
    As you rightly mentioned, the purpose of a BOM is to contain a list of materials. To create   
    a sales BOM. use T.code CS01.
    Here you give the usage as 5 - indicates sales and distribution as there can be production boms also with a different usage.
    After you enter inside give the components that make up your main material, say music system containing
    Itemcat          material               Qty  
    l               2 mt wires                2
    l               speaker                   2
    so on, then save it.
    For each of these you should have a material master created. For the main item ie., music system select the item category group as " ERLA " for header level pricing and
    " LUMF " for item level pricing.
    Maintain item category determinations in VOV4 as
    <b>For item category group ERLA</b>
    OR + ERLA                         -
    >  TAQ ( Header level pricing )
    OR + Norm +     + TAQ (higher level item cat ) -
    > TAE
    <b>For item category group LUMF</b>
    OR + LUMF                         -
    >  TAP ( Item level pricing )
    OR + Norm +     + TAP (higher level item cat ) -
    > TAN
    This will setup the scenario you wanted. Now when enter music system in sales order with "  1 " quantity it will explode as
    2 wires
    2 speaker
    as was the component quantity mentioned in CS01.
    Hope it helps. Please reward if useful.
    Thanks & Regards
