Planing a kmat material

HI
mine is a make to order strategy.with configurable materials.
how do i plan these materials.
I am trying to perform ltp for a Kmat materials. it says no planing profile maintained for this material.
I am not able to maintain pir for Kmat too.
how do i plan these materials.

Deepu,
One cannot enter demand plan (PIR) for configurable material because all components of Finished product are supposed to be variable.If you need PIR it is better to use Planning strategy 65 "Planning with planning material. This PS supports PIR for configurable materials.
It works as below :-
Suppose Mat A is a configurable material - use PS =65 in MRP view
Next create planning material B - use PS = 65 in it's material as well
Now Config Mat A will have all the components of Super BOM.
But Planning mat B will have only those fixed components that need to be planned in advance. It is assumed these components are fixed & required for any variation of the configurable mat A
Next Enter PIR for PM B in MD61
With this planning all fixed components of Config Mat A are planned in advance with the variable components are planned only after they are selected as required components of Config Mat A in Sale order.
Next the incomming Sale order for Mat A will consume demand (PIR) entered for PM B.
Also if you still need to plan even the Variable components of Config Mat then define PS =70 for those components. However you have to enter PIR for these components individually in MD61 as against entering PIR for Planning Material B
Hope this helps. Else please come back.
Thanks,
Ram

Error message while creating production order with KMAT material strategy25

Hi PP Gurus I am running variant configuration cycle...Strategy 25, Custermer Req KEK (KMAT Matrl)
Sales order & MRP Picked the components correctly as per the dependencies
written. So Planned order generated against sale order.
When I tried to convert planned order to Production order...I am getting the
below error message..
Error Message:
You cannot make an assignment to make-to-order stock Message no. CO684
Diagnosis The component cannot be allocated to an individual stock because
make-to-order production and engineer-to-order production cannot be executed
with this order.
A possible cause is that you are trying to create an order with reference to a
sales-order/project, where an account assignment to a sales order/project is not
allowed in the settlement profile that is assigned to the chosen order type.
This is inconsistant.
System response The following responses are possible:
Order processing is cancelled.
The system resets the special stock indicator back to the original value.
Procedure Choose another order type.
I used order type with SD1 as settelement profile.
OVZG: default 046, settlement profile = SD1
OPJH: Settlement profile = SD1
Plz through some light on this if u have worked on Variant Configuration/MTO
settlements.
Question:
1) Is creation of production order with KMAT material supported by SAP?
2) If yes, why the above error occurs?
Waiting for Ur reply
With Best Regards

Dear R.Brahmankar,
I have check on the note, but it is not relevant to ecc6. The current system default setting is :
Standrad setting for reqt class 046
Special Stock E
Acct Assgt Cat. M
Valuation M
Settlmt Profile SD1
However if I change the Acct Assgt Cat. from M to E. It resolve the problem. I would like to know is this the right solution?
Config in Acct Assgt M
Consumption Posting = E
Config in Acct Assgt E
Consumption Posting = ' '
In F1 key of Consumption Posting field it shown following:
To flag the sales order item as cost- and revenue-carrying, enter an "E" (settlement via sales order).
If you do not wish to flag the sales order item as cost- and revenue-carrying, do not enter anything.
Dependencies
If you are working with nonvaluated sales order stock, always flag the sales order item as cost- and revenue-carrying.
If you are working with valuated sales order stock:
In the case of complex make-to-order production, flag the sales order item as cost- and revenue-carrying
In the case of sales-order-related mass production, do not flag the sales order item as cost- and revenue-carrying
Should we change to E?

Subcontracting for KMAT material (VC)

Hi Guru's,
Can anybody let me know what is the process/config/steps that needs to be done for creating a subcontracting order for the below scenario ?
We get sales order for a KMAT Material based on the customer configuration. We have Super BOM's. Based on the configuration, the system selects the BOM components. The finished product will be manufactured by the subcontracting vendor. We have to pass the component list (Selected component list for that specific configuration) to the subcontracting vendor through a sub contracting PO, how do we do that ?
thanks,

Hi,
I think its not possible (i'm not sure), pls ref my thread ..

How to find Materials Variants for KMAT material

How can I find what are material variants for a given KMAT material, Is there a specific table or
transaction code from which I can find

Hi
In T-code CU44 you can find all the material variants for the K-mat

How to find a KMAT material, for a given class (class type:300)

I know the class (class type:300), but I would like to know for which KMAT material is this class is being used. Is there a transaction or table for which I can find

Hi
Try the tables KSSK,KLAH. Pass the class value as 300 you wil get all the materials which are assigned to class type 300. you can pass the material to MARA to and filter with material type KMAT.

Why there iare no accounting views for KMAT material ?

Hello PP members
Why there are no accounting views for KMAT material, in a Standard SAP sytem
Is is because KMAT material cannot be valuated
Please clarify

Baskaran, PP consultant, Rajesha:
Thank you for replies
Round Robin of discussions
Valuation is done at quantity / value level (KMAT - No valuation is done at either Qty/value level)
KMAT is neither valuated or stocked for that plant when GR is done, the only thing it will do update the sales order
As KMAT is configurable material, the system calcuates the material cost dynamically as per the customer selection
Accouting view is used to select the correct G/L account during stock postings
The above can be viewed in OMS2
Due points have been assigned

Report for Material Numbers configured in KMAT Sales Order

Hi,
Scenario:
We are operating with KMAT material type. (e.g. ABC)
Material "ABC" has Characterstic Char 1 , Char2, Char3, Char 4
Each Char has Char values.
Sales Persons create the Sales orders by selecting approprite Char & Char Values. Via MRP, this lead to requirement generation for materials associated to the respective Char & Char Values.
Requirement:
For a given list of sales order numbers for the KMAT material (ABC),
I want to get the list of Material numbers associated to the Char & Char Values configured in these S.Os.
Thanks
Nitin

For the Function Modules, you would need to go to Transaction SE37. For CS_BOM_EXPLOSION I use the following Paramater Values, aukmng = 1, auskz = X, capid = PP01, CUOBJ = from the VBAP Table and line Item of the Sales Document VBAP-cuobj, datuv = current date, emeng = 1, mktls = X, mtnrv = VBAP-matnr, stpst = 0, svwvo = X, werks = VBAP-werks, vbeln = VBAP-vbeln, vbpos = VBAK-posnr, vrsvo = X.
For the Function Module VC_I_GET_CONFIGURATION use the following Parameter Value, instance = VBAP-cuobj.

Sales order costing for Configured Material (Material Variant Not KMAT Mat)

Hi All
For a Configured Material (Variant) (Not KMAT Material), which is having Std price costed.
But if we create a Sales Order for the Configured Material, what options are availale to Execute Sales order costing and take the sales order value to COGS during Delivery.
The reason being Client wants to Cost BOM items are price which is different from the Price used in Std cost estimate due to Price Volatility.
I can understand we can do this in KMAT, but not sure how to do in Conifgured material. We can execute sales order costing and get Statistical cost value in EK02/EK01, but how to get this value posted during PGI..?
Thanks
Aravind

Hi Ajay
Even if i maintain M in Valuation filed, my Material Variant HALB material is already having standard cost in its material master and it is picking the std cost during PGI Delivery and hitting COGS A/c.
Now how to get my sales order costing to real and post my sales order costing value to GI..this is the client requirement.
Due some complication KMAT is not used and logistics go with Material Variant

Material type KMAT & accounting view

Hello All
I have observed that in the standard system Accounting view is not allowed for material type KMAT(configurable material), why is it so?
Kindly provilde your valuable inputs in this regard.
Regards,
J K Tharwani

Hi,
Configurable material is useful if you have a large number of combination of parts that go into a product. It means different permutations and combinations of the parts for same material. If you maintain a unique material code for each combination , you require a large number of material numbers. KMAT may be used in such a case where you maintain just one generic product code. A super BOM is maintained for such a material consisting of all possible alternatives. A routing is also maintained consisting of all possible operations that could be used. Typically configurable material is used in Made To Order (MTO) environment. However frequently ordered configurations may be planned with a material variant which needs to have a material master record. Thus Material variants may have stock and value. Depending upon characteristic values chosen at sales order entry Sales Order BOM is created. Routing operations are also chosen depending upon which BOM components are assigned to them. KMAT material is non valued and does not update the valuation class. So accounting view is not required. Generally FERT material type is taken with configurable tick in basic data 2 view.

Make-to-order: COPS for KMAT materials (Non-valuated sales stock)

Hello,
We are working with KMAT configurable material (i.e. non valuated sales order stock).
The client is requiring that inventory of these KMAT material should be shown in the financial accounting;however as we work with KMAT, this seems not possible.
The whole process is:
- taking of the sales order with the configuration
- MRP and Production order Execution
- Settlement of the PO to the sales order
- Settlement of the Sales orden to a given account in FI (just like "stock for customer order") - inventory.
The problem we are facing now is how to make the compensation of this account once the product is delivered.
It seems the sales order's default settlement receiver is only the PSG. can we have to use the result analysis key to calculate the cost of sales, and which valuation method can we use if I only want to settle the actual cost that settled from the production order.
By the way, I have search for the notes:Note 26459 it seems we have to run the sales cost estimate first for the KMAT.
Summary
Symptom
It is not possible to perform results analysis on sales order items with materials of material type KMAT.
Additional key words
Transactions KKA3, KKAK
Cause and prerequisites
In make-to-order production, the inventory and the cost of sales are not posted through goods movements because the materials are managed in a non-valuated sales order stock. The only way to create postings in FI is to use results analysis (see Note 26456). If the sales order item consists of a material of material type KMAT, results analysis is not possible because no cost estimate exists for this material.
Solution
Results analysis must be performed with a valuation method that uses profit basis C. With this profit basis, the system uses the planned costs of the production orders for the sales order instead of a cost estimate for the KMAT material.
In Release 2.2 a modification is needed for this which is described in Note 25772. In Release 3.0 this function is provided as standard.
From 3.0C onwards the planned costs of the sales order can also be calculated in a product cost estimate for the sales order. You should use profit basis E in this case.
However, if you are using assembly processing with production orders, you can only use profit basis C.
Hope the scenario is clear. Perhaps you have a different approach to work with KMAT materials.

Hi Friends,
Can you please provide the solution for my problem and its slight urgent.

BAPI FOR CREATION OF MATERIAL VARIANT IN SAP

Dear All,
Can anoy one please provide me name of BAPI to create material variant.This is required when we create material variant for a configurable material, characteristics values are added in MRP 3 View .

i am not clear what youn are looking for.
Say material X is KMAT,
Material Y you have created as a variant of X by entering the conf material X in MRP3 view and setting the char values
Material Z you have created as a variant of X by entering the conf material X in MRP3 view and setting the char values different than Y
Now Y and Z are material variants of X, now tell me exactly what you are looking for?

How to create Variant Configuration Material Master in SAP PP

Dear Friend's,
Pl 's guide me for How to Create Variant Configuration Material Master.
Give me step by step procedure for Creation of Variant Configuration.If some of you having screen shots for the same with one Example, that will be a very helpful to me for creating VC.
Thanks & Regards,
Sandeep N.Theurkar

Hi,
Eg: Ford car.If a sale order is raised for fiesta lxi model the system should choose red colour & for vxi blue colour respectively.
ie you need to define the characteristic and assign the values .
This characteristic need to assigned to class.
class need to be assigned to material master
1. T.code : CT04(characteristic) FORD_MODEL, Choose single value & entry required tab & give the input as 01 - fiesta_lxi & 02 - fiesta_vxi.( characteristic values)
2.Tcode: CT04, FORD_BODY( another characteristic)
Choose single value , don't click entry required.
01 - Red( characteristic values)
02- Blue
3. Create class T.code : CL02
fiesta_class
type : 300
4. OBJECT DEPENDENCY:
T.CODE : CT04
FORD_MODEL
CLICK VALUES TAB,
IN FIESTA_LXI CLICK THE 'O' meant for Obj dependency, action & extra.
Edit the dependecy,
010 $Self.ford_body = '01'. & save
Repeat the same for FIEST_VXI & instead of '01' give '02' for blue colour.
, then create a ROH as ford_body. & a KMAT material for the car. .
Then create a Super BOM with usage 3 & give component as ford_body
Then use T.code cu41 (Create config profile)
enter a profile name & class 300 & choose class assignment, choose fiest_class ,
Use T.code cu50 to check the values.
Then create a sale order.
Pl. reward if helpful.

Production Planing Report query

Dear All,
Pls. Provide me production planing report query on this basis client purchase RM for production.
Best Regards

Hi Rashmi_BH
For Raw Material Planing you have to create Production Order on the base of Sales Order & Run MRP Wizard.
MRP Calculate Planing For Raw Material Automatically on the base of Production Order you have to make in SAP & also Consider In Stock Raw Material in Warehouse & also Comsider Purchase Order you have to make in SAP
For above Calculation MRP Wizard automatically create Purchase Order for not in stock in existing condition.
