Pipeline materials

Hi All,
I wantd to do Goods issue for pipeline materials. So i hav created one pipeline material and also maintained info record. when i tried to post the goods issue ( Mov type 201P) it gives me the error as "G/l account 1214002300 does not exists in company code 1101". So I manintained FI configuration: automatic Posting accounts ( transation OBYC), where above G/l account i m not using anywhere, but it still giving me error. while doing goods issue i m entering only cost center and not G/L acount.
Plz reply. Thnaks....
Arati.

HI,
If youu2019re posting manually, always assign the line item posting to a relevant cost objects (e.g. cost center, order, profit center).
2. For automatic posting transactions, you need to maintain in the system default cost object assignment of the cost element. Follow this simple procedure:
Transaction Code: OKB9
Path: IMG u2192 Controlling u2192 Cost Center Accounting u2192 Actual Posting u2192 Manual Actual Posting u2192 Edit Automatic Account Assignment.
The u201CChage View u201CDefault account assignment: Overviewu201D appears. Enter the company code, cost element, and default cost object. The cost object could be a cost center, internal order or profit center.
Hope Help U !

Pipeline Materials: Purchase Price Variances

Hi,
Can anybody please guide me on how to handle Purchase Price Variances of Pipeline Materials. As pipeline materials doesn't have any POs and invoices, how is it possible to post the PPV so that the variances are recorded in material ledger.
Best Regards,
Ganesh Perumalla

Hi,
I could see from SAP Notes and Help the following:
If the consignment prices have changed since the original goods receipt, post the credit memo in Financial Accounting. Clear the invoice and the credit memo in Financial Accounting.
But the above Credit memo doesn't update the Material Ledger.
SAP Notes advices to use the function modules FU EXIT_RMVKON00_001, FU EXIT_RMVKON00_002 and FU EXIT_RMVKON00_003.
If somebody already worked on this scenario, could you please provide any details.

Customer Exit: Consignment Settlement - Fill RKWA at Goods Withdrawal
Functionality
Report RMVKON00 (Settle Consignment/Pipeline Liabilities) calls this customer-specific function module and fills structure CI_RKWA.
In report RMVKON00, database table RKWA is changed at settlement. In table RKWA, structure CI_RKWA exists as an include that can incorporate customer-specific fields. The system can fill structure CI_RKWA at goods withdrawal or at settlement. The system uses this function module to fill structure CI_RKWA at the time of settlement.
The RKWA entry for the withdrawal (parameter I_RKWA) is available for filling structure CI_RKWA.
For technical reasons, it is not possible to return structure CI_RKWA, instead, the whole of table RKWA is returned using the parameter E_RKWA. However,changes to table RKWA that are not part of structure CI_RKWA, are ignored by report RMVKON00.
Notes
The system only adopts structure CI_RKWA if the value 'X' is passed on at parameter E_CHECK.
Parameters
I_RKWA

Pipeline Materials (Info Record) Cost not getting picked in Standard Cost

Dear Team,
We are using the Pipeling Materials Concept in our client. Pipeline materials are procoured without referene to PO/Quotation.
Pipeline materials cost is not getting updated in the the standard cost estimate in cost roll-up.
All Sub-strategies options in the Valuation variant for price from Purchase Info Record are all wrt PO/Quotation.
How can i get my pipeline materials cost in the standard cost estimate.
Please guide.

Vikrant Sood

Hi Vikrant,
Can you please advise us on how this issue was resolved? We're having the same error here.
Thanks and best regards,

Inhouse produced pipeline materials

Hi,
Can any one please explain how to configure the pipeline materials which are produced in house and used in production process ?
My client produces utilities like steam and power and uses for internal production puropses, if I define as a pipeline material I need to assign a fixed vendor and invoice and then there is also a wel defined process for settlement also but the issue here is no vendor is selling the pipeline materials and those are produced internally.
Thanks and Regards,
Raavi

Hi
When you talk about pipeline material,the price is picked from the Vendor info record,when the material is purchased from outside.
In your case the pipeline material is produced within the company and there is no vendor involved.
In this case i think the price for this material is required only for doing the cost estimate for the material produced by using this pipeline material.
Maintain the accounting view for the pipeline material and specify the price for this material in the Standard price field so the cost estimate will pick the price during the costing run.
When talking about settlement I really wonder whether we are required to do any settlement for the pipeline material which is produced inhouse,as there is no vendor involved, to whom are you going to pay by doing settlement.
For updating the price for pipeline material you can use MR21.
I hope this will help you.
Good Luck
Hari

Material ledger- pipeline materials actual costing

Dear all,
I am having problem with pipeline materials not being included in multilevel actual BOM in Material ledger actual costing. My client need information about actual quantity of pipeline material (natural gas) being consumed in multilevel production. I am not sure if pipeline materials are subject to actual costing/material ledger. Actual cost component is showing the amount of costs of natural gas, but in multilevel BOM, pipeline materials are not included. Am I right about this?
thanks in advance,
Duu0161ko

Hi Rafal,
there is a functionality built into acual costing to cover this:

How to process of Pipeline materials for bill pass

All SAP MM Gurus,
My scenerio is like we procure Nitorgen gas thru pipeline, the vendor give the bill of nitrogen gas which our plant consume.
then How I Process the bill, like Purchase Order, Goods Receit and Invoice Verification. But when I post GR then system demand Storage location, but for that material we have no any storage location.
Only u people give the idea about how to porcess the pipeline material type.
thanks

Hi
First you have to create nitrogen with material type " PIPE".
maintain inforecord for the same.
NOw for PIPE material types we dont do goods receipt, this material comes directly thru pipeline for ex. water, electricity,gas etc. and vendor will bill us for the same. we will not do goods receipt for the same. No need to raise PO also or invoice verification.
and its settlement will be done through MRKO , there system will pick up price from info record. and you have to pay vendor that much amount.
reward if useful.
regards,

Re: Creation of Pipeline Purchase Order or Consignment

Hello all,
Can you all explain me how to create Pipeline Purchase Order or Contract., so that a proof of document is maintained.
How is is done in SAP?
Regards,
Smitha

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.

Hi
Intra-Company STO: One Step Method & Two Step method:
At Supp.Plant: Stock Acc. BSX is Credited
At. Rec.Plant : Stock Acc. BSX is Debited
If you maintain Std. at Rec. Plant and if there is any Price Diff., then Price Diff. Acc.( AUM) will be triggered....
Here all the Acc.Doc. will be generated while doing PGI only.....No Acc. Doc. will be generated at GR...
Inter Company STO - Two step Method:
At supp.Plant....While doing PGI..:
Stock acc. BSX is Credited
Cost of Goods sold Acc.(VAY) is Debited(+)
At. Receiving Plant While doing GR:
Stock Acc. BSX is Debited(+)
GR/IR Clearing Acc is Credited
If you maintain any Std. Price and if there is any price Diff. then Price Diff. Acc will be triggered...
Generally...Inter company STO...Everybody follows Two Step Method only....
3.Consignment Process:
While doing Consumption by 201K from Consignment Stock:
Consumption Acc.GBB-VBR....is Debited(+)
Consignment Payable Acc( KON) is Credited(-)
4. While doing Statistical Goods Issue of PIPELINE material in to Cost center:
Consumption Acc. GBB-VBR is Debited(+)

Query about pipeline procurement

Hi
My question is "Are pipeline materials values automatically updated in material master with each MIGO (GI) , as other raw materials?"
which should be the price control for Pipeline materials ?

Hi,
Go for price control MAP (V) in material master for pipeline material.
Note: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.
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

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

Costing relevancy in bill of materials

Hi Experts,
We have default settings to mark items in bill of materials as costing relevant, we have certain materials for which we do not want default costing relevancy as waht has been sent in default values. but for most of the materials default settings should be applicable.
is ther any settings where for certain materials default settings can be overwritten, do not cost in costing tab page did not worked, and default costing relevancy was taken for item.
Thanks in advance
Anand

Dear,
Pipeline materials are relevant for costing it pickup price from the Info-record. If you don't want to cost that item you need to remove its costing relevancy from bill of material. Or else define it as non valuated material and then assign it in BOM.
Bulk material are not cost relevant it will available in mass. For the standard cost estimate and the calculation of planned costs and actual costs for a work order, will not included in costing.
You can not make it material specific setting default for the BOM.
In OS18 you can define you own cost Relevancy and by BOM usage in OS20
Customizing under Production -> Basic Data -> Bill of Material -> General Data -> BOM Usage -> Define BOM Usages.
Hope clear to you.

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 withdrawals

Hello
Can anybody explain step by step process for Pipeline materials.
I have read that Pipeline materials dont have stock and they are not procured also.But then how does the stock is increased,how is the Vendor paid and all the process happens?
Suppose if I procure Gas from Electricity Board and wants to have it as Pipeline then how will the settings done in the system?
Can any body explain the entire Process in detail?
Regards
Vaibhav Mahajan

Hi
Thanks but I have read this information many times even in SAP help.
My question is if we are not able to procure the material and store it how would you issue the goods to the cost center.To issue goods you need stock.How to increase that stock.
