This is my understanding and doubts regarding Pipeline Process.
I would appreciate if you guys could provide details on this.

hi,
-->Calculation schema not maintained"" What do i need to do for this message.
in spro --> material management --> purchasing --> conditions --> check the caluculation schemea RM0000. if you defined your own pricing procedure, check for the entries.

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

Quality check for Pipeline Material

Hi MM Guru's
Is it possible to do quality check for Pipeline Material?
If yes what is the process.
Thank you
Venu

you can create a manual inspection lot, analyze a sample and record the results.
but you cannot have a quality stock and do not do a transfer posting from quality to unrestricted or quality to blocked.
There a many chemicals that are transported via pipeline and managed as pipleline materials, either supplied by a supplier in the neighborhood or even cross country. And it is needed that you want do quality checks on certain materials before you use them.
Search the QM forum, you may find some discussions.

Configuration of pipeline material

I have following issues.
Presently we are doing implementation for an Electrical distribution company. here we are receiving HV(high voltage ,33 kv) electricity form different grids.Then we are converting these to 11kv & 400 volts(ht LIne) through transformers and then we are transmitting these to different customers. How would i implement this scenareo in sap.Electricity is mainly a pipeline material.
So what will be our raw material & finish goods here ? Pls suggest.

Hi
There is no raw material or finished material but only one material that is PIPE line material. You can not store the material. There is no PO also to buy the material. You are required to maintain Purchasing Info record with price for the material and have to make automatic settlement using MRKO . This is is the basic process for any PIPE line material. You have to elaborate more for further help from members.

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.

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???
Rgds,
Pavan

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.

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.
Anurag

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.

Pipeline Material configuration

Dear All,
here the plant is getting water through pipeline.
so here i need to configure water as a pipeline material??
so please guide me how i can configure this process in the system.
Thanks a lot
H Shah

Hi,
Any thing can flow through a pipe line is called " pipe line material"
E.g. steam, water, gas, electricity and oil
For pipeline material, PR, PO and GR are not required.
Only material master, info record, goods issue and cosignment settlement(MRKO transaction) are required.
step:1 Creation of materila master record(mm01)
material type is PIPE, storage location is not required/appeared
In the OMS2 transaction, select the pipeline check box/option and deselect the quantity & value updation check box/option.
Step2: Maintain the purchase infor record(ME11)
Price, tax code and No ERS are mandatory.
In vendor master record, select the Auto. Eval.GR settlement(delivery) option in the purchasing data view
Step:3 Goods issue with movement type 201-P
Following accounts are updated during GI:
GBB OFFset inventory account (consumption)
KON(-) Amount payable (consignment)
Step:4 Consignment settlement(MRKO)
Following accounts are update dduring settlement:
KON(+) Amount payable (consignment)
Vendor account
This is the complete information related to Pipe line material procurement.

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.
Cheers
Julien

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,

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
Kishore

Template and One-Time Material Processing

Hi experts!
Has anyone implemented and used Template and One-Time Material Processing?
If so, what is your experience with it?
Best regards / Gustav

Hello Gustav
we have no experience in using this functionality. In most cases the use of this function is not what you really need in "real life" (depending clearly on the number of "one time materials"). In most cases it is most common to use the "normal" EH&S set up to profit from e.g. MSDS delivery etc.
But according to:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_470/helpdata/es/9e/95463ce293dd3ae10000000a11402f/content.htm
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_rc10/helpdata/en/98/cb4d3c07c42b77e10000000a114084/content.htm
etc. it is a "simple" approach as long as you understand what is supported in using this approach and what is not.
Examples of processes which are not supported are:
- MSDS delivery
- EH&S SVT
- Creation of HSM master data
- etc.
As you can see the number of EH&S supported processes is low (only DG processes in reality).
I found one further related threads in this FORUM:
Template material processing is deactivated

MIGO for pipeline material

Hi,
I am trying to post MIGO for pipeline material, while at the same time I am facing following problem while executing:
1. At the time of the Goods Issue of the Pipeline material, the error ocured: Account determination for entry INT GBB _____ VBR not possible.
So maintained an enntry for the same in the OBYC setting, but received a new error: period 001/2005 is not open for a/c type S & G/l A/c 790000
Thus tried to solve it by going in FS00, but change authorisation was not available.
Please help me in coming out of this
Thanks
Ritesh

Hi,
Now Use t.code: OB52 and open current period in Account Types S and specially Account Type + which stands for valid for all accounts type and save( also can check A, K, D,M,). Better consult FICO consultant for OB52 step.
Also Check in T.code: MMRV and see which period is open for ur Co.Codeand back posting is allowed or not.In MMPV close the period last period and automatically system open the new one.
