PIR for Configurable material

Hi,
We are working with configuration material scenario. This configuration material is use for Planned Independent Requirement (PIR).
I have maintain the Planning profile and create the PIR (MD61) Here select the characteristic value, its characteristic value have maintained object dependency for selection of components.
PIR  MD02 MD04 CO40  Production order,
In production order the component are not selected as per characteristics.
Pl Tell me what is the wrong?? While we work in Sale order creation and production order components are select as per characteristic selection.
Pl helps me what is the wrong for creation of PIR.
Regards
Rajesh Tiwari

Hi
In most cases the configurable materials are manufactured in make-to-order configurable strategy(25). if you have used this strategy in mrp3 view for the fert materials as well as its variants. In this situation u can only creat CIR not PIRs.
Please use CIR using MD81 and it will definitly search for the conf. profile and demands the characterstics.

Creation of Sale Order for configurable material with availability check.

Hi,
We have a scenario in which the material is configurable. The configurable material (X) has few variants (Ex: X1, X2, X3, X4, X5). While booking the sale order, we use the material number (X).
Further, the material planning is done for the variants X1, X2, X3, X4, X5. The standard variants are planned for production in advance.
1.     While booking the sale order, we want the availability check of the stock (type matching to happen). What needs to be done in configuration?
2.     While booking the sale order, there is a possibility that the configuration selected will not match with any of the standard variants due to some additional requirements of the optional features, in such cases how to link the standard variants to the sale order & create requirement for additional requirements.

Hi Umesh,
           1.Create material master for configurable material and variants in mm01.
           2.Maintain BOM for the configurable material in CS01
           3. Configur the variant configuration steps
              a. Create charecteristics T.code CT04
              b. Create values and assign classes
              c. assign the values to charecteristics
              d . Maitain dependence T.code CU01
              e.create configuration profile t.code CU41
              f.stimulate the configuration profile.
4. Do the availability check configuration through this path
IMG --> Sales and distribution > Basic functions ,> Availabilty check and Transfer of requirements.
5. Maintain the Availbility check field and MRP views in the material masters other wise you sit with PP people and do that
I hope it will help you

Make to Order for Configurable Material & Error in Confirmation

Hello, PP Gurus,
I am doing one MTO for Fabric business but during the confirmation I am getting error that
SALES order Stock does not Exist as well Please inform me Costing procedure in this scenario.
*is it necessary to run MRP in this scenario?*
Please see the all Details of Business so that U can give answer properly.
One is raw fabric (Raw material) which has to passed different process to convert Colored fabric as my Finish product as well I can sale Raw fabric also.
is it possible to maintain raw fabric and Colored fabric with same mat.code?
I have configured the material as well all pricing BOM, Recipe its working properly.
How can I assign the material to Operation? I am getting GRAY field in New Assignment in change recipe mode ..
Is it possible to use Material type other than KMAT? I want to use Finish material type. If yes How?
Right now I can create Process order from the Sales order but I am facing error in confirmation that Sales Order stock does not exist than I have to transfered stock to Sales order and error get solved temporarily but I want to avoid this manual transaction to remove this error. Any configuration is required please inform.
My configuration is given below.
MRP Type : PD
BOM item Category: L Stock Item.
In dependency & Profile I have set radio Button as Single level Bom explosion.
Order Bom selection in profile.
Strategy : 25 make to order for configure material.
How can I do ? please suggest any changes
I have only 9 months of SAP experience within short time I have gain lot knowledge from this site and other reading material as well my learning Learning thirst.
thanks to all SAP gurus..
THANKS IN ADVANCE .... Definitely I will reward points even if my some questions get solved...
Regards,
Bhavik dangi.

Hi,
You can use variant configuration for selling the colored fabric. Use the basic fabric as raw. and maintain variant configuarations to have many variants.
Please use strategy 25. When you run MRP the planned orders will be generated and will be assigned to the sales orders. You can see it on the account assignment tab.
In material master pleasse maintain Individual collective requirement indicator to 1-individual in the MRP-4 view.
Then the stocks will be reserved to the specific sales orders.
Thanks and regards

How to do the Partial delivery for configurable material ?

Hi All,
I am creating a sales order for a configurable material and is trying to do the partial delivery for the same. But, after the outbound delivery the status of the sales order is shown as completed although I have done the partial delivery.
Here are the steps I followed.
1. material I used here is a configurable material.
Main settings.
a. In Basic Data tab, marked as configurable
b. Procurement type='E' in MRP 2 tab
c. Strategy group as 82 in MRP 3 view.
2. I created a sales order for quantity 10
3. Created a production order followed by goods Movement thereby increasing the stock.
4. Did the outbound delivery for quantity 5.
Now if I checked for the status of the sales order using VA02, the status for the line item as well as for the sales order was "Completed" although I had done partial delivery.
I have checked for setting in Customer master record, item category in VOV7. Everything seems to be fine.
I checked for all the information in the FORUM without any help.
Can you please help me?
Kind Regards,
Anupama

Hi,
For Info, I am creating a sales order for Item category TAC.
1. In my case, after completing the partial delivery, in the document flow for Order, the status is shown as completed.
2. In status overview for this item, delivery status indicator is set as 'Fully delivered'.
I did check in the customer master record and the field
Partial delivery per item is set to Blank( Partial delivery allowed)
3. I did run the report RIBELF20 and I am getting this error for all the sales order I created for partial delivery for configurable material.
For Normal item, the status is showing properly.
Is there any other settings I have to check?
I needed this to be working. Please help

STO for Configurable material

Dear All,
We require to configure the STO process for a configurable material, but as per the present system configurable material production in supplying plant triggers by sales order. this resulting in non availability of material to dispatch against the STO purchase order.

Maintain the correct MRP parameter for the material, i.e., special procurement type for stock transfer in MRP2.
So, you have set this up and it generates the stock transfer requests.
Note that the STO will have the account assignment for sales order stock.
Check following links for hints:
Re: Material xxxxx in plant xxxx is configurable and will not be costed
CK11N:Costing done for Configurable material is throwing error
Hope this can assist you.

Routing for configurable material

Hello PP gurs,
I want to create Routing for Configurable Material in SAP PP-PI or PP industries. How the object dependency is defined applied ?
This requirement is for Make TO Order scenario for Configurable Material.
At present I am working with resources only.
I want to create in such away So that while creating Production order system should ask select BOM & routing.
How can I define the Super BOM & Super Routing in Order?
Is it possible to calculate cost for this kind of requirement?
Please Give your Contribution from Whatever the Questions above....
Thanks & Regards,
Bhavik Dangi.

Dear,
In can explain youn w/ example
Let us say you have to manufactur CAR's(matyerial no in SAP is CAR). The coonfiguration options are - Paint, and tyre
Create a char inn CT04 as piant and tyre with value as below(data type = char)
Paint - white, red, blue and black
Tyre - Redial, Normal
Create materials like White-paint, Red-paint, Blue-paint, black-paint, Tyre-redial, tyre-Normal, Engine
Create a class in CL01 called CAR-CLASS , clas type 300 and assign the above Char to this class
Assign this class to Material CAR.
Create BOm with following items
Engine
White-paint
RED paint
Blue-paint,
black-paint,
Tyre-redial,
tyre-Normal,
Create a object dependency in CU40 type - selcetion condition to selcet red-paint material when in Sales order select paint red. and like this all others.
Selection condition for red paint is as below
Paint = 'red'
Like this for all others
Paint = 'white'
Paint = 'black'
Paint = 'blue'
Tyre = 'Normal'
Tyre = 'Redial'
Assign this object dependency to BOm items
Engine
White-paint -
>Paint = 'white'
RED paint -
>Paint = 'red'
Blue-paint, -
>Paint = 'blue'
black-paint, -
>Paint = 'black'
Tyre-redial, -
>Tyre = 'Redial'
tyre-Normal---->Tyre = 'Normal'
Now create a configuration profile
When you create a Sales order, system will pronmpt to enter the vlaues for piant and tyre
if you have selceted piant as red and tyre as normal, then the BOm will look like as below
Engine
RED paint
tyre-Normal
This is the configured BOM...what you have cretaed is supre BOM.
It is available in PP

GATP allocation check for configurable material with characteristic

Hi APO Gurus,
We are using configurable products and wanted to go for GATP allocation check based on Characteristics.
The scenario is goiven below,
All our products are configurable materials. At the entry of sales order , the characteristic values are updated and then the sales order is checked for GATP.
When the order come to APO-GATP for allocation check , here I want to check the allocation for configurable material.
But the allocation quantities are given for a combination of Configurable material and its characteristics.
How can we map such scenario?
Do I to create the CVC at family level that is configurable material level ?
How the characteristic values are considered in allocation.
Waiting for your reply.

Costing Run for Configurable Material

Hi,
When I try to run costing run CK40N for KMAT material, I am geting information "No materials selected" for the 'selection' flow-step.
Below is the Error description.
No materials selected
Message no. CK277
Diagnosis
Due to the costing variant used, no materials could be selected for the cost estimate.
System Response
No materials were selected.
Procedure
1. First, check that the materials you want to cost exist.
2. Then go into Customizing and check the costing variant, the reference variant, and the transfer control. If the plant changes, a suitable transfer strategy must be entered in the transfer control belonging to the reference variant.
Thanks in Advance,
Shiva

hi Shiva,
It is not possible to do the cost calculation for configurable materials in CK40N or CK11N.
To do the product costing it is mainly required the BOM and Routing, but in case of configurable materials the BOM and Routing are not fixed(here Super BOM/Super Routing are used with valid object dependencies which may result in "n" number of material variants)
To do the costing for configurable material you can use t code - CU50 (configuration simulation)
Here in CU50 you can select the characteristics values which ultimately selects the valid BOM and Routing required for variant production and do the costing and check.
Please check

Lock characteristic value for configurable material in Sales Order

Is there a setting in SAP which can prevent user changing characteristic value for configurable material in Sales Order after production order created for this Sales Order? Currently, it can only works when first delivery create for this Sales Order.
Thanks a lot.

Hi,,
in the characteristic goto additional data tab,
you have a field called not ready for input.
you select this when the value in this characteristic come by calculation based on the previous selection.
that field will be greyed out.
OR
u can even select the no display check box,
by selecting this u cant see the characteristic in the list,, it will give u a popup before leaving the screen.
for this the char has to be a required field.
OR
if any of this is not working then may be u can try out with authorization management.
thanks

Split valuation for configurable material

Dear expert,
Is it possible to create split valuation for configurable material type (KMAT). I have create split valuation. But when i create material with material type KMAT, the split valuation category can't filled/ edited. Why?

Thanks Charlie..
But, if i maintain semifinished product by batch. Means i have one material number with 2 batch which are sweet and sour. I managed the quantity using batch. Before, i think i used split valuation to managed the value of sweet and sour. If split valuation doesn't work for configurable material, how to manage the value of this 2 batch?

Inventory maintenance for Configurable Material and their Variants.

Hi Gurus,
Can anybody help me as how to handle the following issues?
1. inventory maintenance for configurable material
2. variants stock position maintenance (should it be maintained seperately from configurable material?)
3. what about single values and multiple values components stock position?
Regards,
Sada

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
my query is say for example there is a material called XXX.
for this material the stock position is now 1000 units in warehouse. that is ok
if the above "XXX" is a configurable material, it might be having chars (say as additional components upto 10, which may be required by customers some times and no some times). If we maintain stock position for material XXX then what about components. because it is not always fixed and asked by the customers. customer may ask all components or some components.
Ex: Car is material.
A/C, Luggage carrier on the top, tool kit these are characteristcs.
I hope you understand me.
Regards,
Aanand

PIR creation for Configurable material

Hi,
Please let me know, the process for creating PIR's for a configurable material.
Currently my client is using Stategy 82 for creation of prodcution order directly from sales order and does the selection of characteristics while creating the sales order.
when i try to create PIR using MD61,the system is giving a error " No Planning Profile maintained".
please help me out with the steps to be followed for creation of PIR's.
Regards
Ramesh

Hi,
you can not create PIR in MD61 with planning strategy 82. it is MTO stategy.
If you want to plan for configurable materials, go for characteristic plannijg strategy like 56.
In characteristic planning you need to maintain option (characteristics) usage % in MD61. In addtion to configurable profile it also needs planning profile 9 where you need to maintina exact characterisrics for whome option % should be maintinaed in MD61).
If you dont include certain charcteristics from configurable profile in planning profile then they will not be planned in Md61.
Check Charcteristic planning at below link:

Issue in consumption of forecast for configurable material

Hi,
we have a issue in consumption of forecast by sales order for a configurable material.
Please find the below details for the settings maintained and the steps followed.
Please let me know how we can overcome this issue.
settings in R/3
1. Class and characterisitcs are created in R/3
2. standard material was created and class assigned
3. planning strategy used is 56
4. material, class, characteristics,ATP check, ATP customizing , sales order were integrated to APO
Settings in APO
1. CBF table, CBF profile, Consumption group were created in APO
2. Consumption group is attached to the product master
following steps were followed.
1. Forecast was created in DP for a certain characterstics ansd relaesed to SNP/PPDS
2. forcast is visible in product view
3. sales order was created in R/3
4. slaes order is visible in APO but it is not consuming the foreacast for the same set of characteristics.
Please let me know how we can overcome this..are we missing any customization ...?
Thanks
Ram

Hi Srinivas,
thanks for your response.
The forecast consumption problem was solved after correcting the entries in requirement strategy.
have one more query.
when the sales order for a configurable material is transferred from R/3 to APO, we should be able to see the values under "descriptive characteristics tab" in APO product view.(when we click on the green triangle representing the configuration).
However, we could see the values under "descriptive characteristics tab" for some of the characterisitcs and not for other characteristics.
we tried comparing the characteristics but could not figure out the reason.
any pointers / clues to come over this issue would be helpful.
thanks
Ram

Material variant replacement in sales order for Configurable Material

HI
I am using variant configuration. In this i have created material A as configurable material and have Preconfigured Material B as its variant by assigning configurable material in MRP 3 view.
Now when i am creating Order for material A i.e. Configurable material and the characteristics values are same as that of Preconfigured material system is not replacing Configurable material with Preconfigured material.
Please help me out.
Regards,
Anand.

Even after maintaining the item category MTAC(Mills Make to order config at mat level), the configurable material is not getting replaced in the sales order (va02). It is just showing material variant exists for the configurable material.
The setting in item category for configuration is.
Config. Strategy 01(Sales Order Strategy (TAC, TAM))
Mat. Variant Action 4 (Replace configurable material (Append and change))
ATP material variant 2 (Do not substitute if not completely available)
Structure scope D (Configuration, poss. with BOM explosion)
I have maintained the stock for material variant as well to take care of ATP material varinat setting shown above.
Please suggest if missing something.
