Planing statergy - make to order- finished goods
Dear Guys,
The scenario is as follows
Finished Goods - Make to order
Raw Material and Semi must be procured or produced before sales order arrives for Fert
we are using APO with discrete manufacturing
which planning statergy can we use for this scenario in the material master in R/3 and APO
shall we use 52 and 40
or is there any other right planing statergy is available
Thanks in advance
Raj
Dear Raj,
Planning statergy both 52 and 40 are used in make to stock .
For your requirement u can use planning stg 50 (Planning with out final assembly.) in R/3. i am not sure with APO.
Do to the following settings in the material master in R/3,
1.Set planning statergy - 50 for FERT in MRP view.
2. Maitiain consumption parameters.
3. since u have to make a stock for SEMI before sale order receives u have set set The Individual/coll. indicator = 2 in MRP View for SEMI AND RAW MATERIALS not for FERT.
regards

RajLooking at the business process you have mentioned, strategies looks ok.
If you use in R/3 strategy 52 after CIFing it to APO by default strategy is Blank you may require to use user exit to fill the value in APO or manually require to update it as 40
Following is the observation :
R/3 Strategy APO Strategy
52 Blank
50 30 (PLANNING WITHOUT FINAL ASSEMBLY)
10 10 (MAKE-TO-STOCK PRODUCTION)
20 blank
Suggetion do the testing of your business scenario and select the standard, if using standard strategy it is not working fine customised it as per the requirement.

Free finish goods for certain level of sales order amount.
Hi Gurus,
I want to add some free finish goods if the sales order amount is greather than a certain amount for OR sales order type
For example : if the sales order net amount is greather than 1000 - I want to automaticaly add a FG - 347234FG .
Is it possible without having SAP retail module ?Khaled is right for details refer to sap help page:

How to get unit cost for finished goods in prod order
HI all,
IN a production order of type PP04, there is cost analysis you can get from CO03. This shows the cost for finished goods and BOM components. Would anyone know how the cost for finished goods are calculated ? The issue i have is that the unit cost of the finished goods is not correct. It is higher than what it should be. I looked at the moving avg price at material master but the cost used in calculation is different than in material master. Can anyone shed light how finished goods are calculated and why it is picking up a higher unit cost ? Where is the higher cost coming from for finished goods material as shown in CO03 ? The BOM materials are picking unit cost correctly. Would this have anything to do with cost settlement ?
thank you.
joyceHi,
Finished goods price will depend on BOM componenet price, activity price and overhead price. Check whether this prices are picking correctly or not.

Material backflush in production order after finished goods GR
Dear all,
I once started similiar topic several months ago, but didn't recieved any response. I'm gonna give it another try, so maybe you'll be able to support me after all.
So, the situation is like this. We have a production order, in which MC team maintained the materials to consume. The problem is, that very often it comes that we have to use same material part, but under 2-3 different partnumbers. E.G.:
Production order target: 1000 finished goods
Required materials: Part A 1000 pcs, Part B1 700 pcs, Part B2 300 pcs, Part C 1000 pcs, Part D1 150 pcs, Part D2 450 pcs, Part D3 400 pcs.
So yes, in case when it is Part B1, B2 and etc. it means that we're using physically the same part, but under different partnumbers. The problem is, that those material are all coming in pieces, not in meters or anything, and we can't allow to have, for example, 0.7 pcs of any of those materials (cause obviously you can't have 0.7 pcs of LCD panels stored in the warehouse).
It wouldn't be a problem if we could just confirm all operations in production order in 1 batch, but production order is being confirmed partially, every time the pallet with finished goods is being released from production line (we have integrated system, that sends requests to SAP to confirm specific quantity of finished goods in production order). So, as an example, if 1 pallet contains 15 pcs of finished goods, you have 67 confirmations for production order [(66*15)+(1*10)]. And, since all those materials come in PCS, SAP is rounding up consumption if it has decimal, which leads to wrong materials consumption.
Initially, I had an idea of adding 1 more operation in production order, which was supposed to be a manual use only, after finished goods GR, and MC team supposed to assign those B1\B2 and etc. material to this operation E.G.:
Operation 0010 - consume material from work center A
Operation 0020 - consume material from work center B
Operation 0030 - finished goods GR (milestone)
Operation 0040 - consume material from work center C
My idead was rejected, since I was told that after GR for finished goods is done and you continue consuming materials in production order - it will not be shown in financial reporting (don't know the details, it was quite a straight reject, without much explanation).
So, question is - is there a way to consume materials after finished goods GR without creating mess in financial reporting, or if not - what other options do I have?
thank you in advanceHi Valentin,
After GR also you can do goods issue. Till the order status is CLSD (Closed) you can book cost on to the order.
Two ways to consume materials on order.
In order component overview maintain the required part number with quantity. GI as can done with reference to order MB1A 261 movement type.
Directly do GI with MB1A -261 movement type - Input the order number, material number and qty.
Refer to the below discussion on unplanned GI which was discussed yesterday,
http://scn.sap.com/message/14850196#14850196
Thank & Regards,

Is there a way to release a finished goods order if it has missing parts? I would like to release certain orders now, prior to their production so there is no delay once they are finished. How can I manually go in and release an entire order if there are missing parts and components which are not yet completed?
OPJK check control is applicable only to production or Process order types during the Order Creation and Order release txns.
This is a additional feature inaddition to the Availability check config, so this will not impact the ATP config.
Purchase orders REL is not at all linked to this REL>
Hope this clarifies

Finished goods procurement - Not htrough Third party order
Hi
The scenario:
The client purchases some Finished goods,which they are not manufacturing, directly from vendor, (i.e.) the sale sorder requirement for some Finished goods are directly procured from vendor and they require those items to be receipted back from vendor in sales order stock.Then they will deliver to customer.
In normal third party order , i think the Sales order triggers back to back PR with Account Assignment for statistical delivery and Item category 'S', third party. In these cases can we have the physical stock of the material in our Storage location in sales order stock and delivery can happen from thereon.
Please inform me the configuration for the same and any solution to map the process.
Thanks very much in advance
regards
arvindhi ,
this is individual purchase order scenario....
while creating sales order you have to change item category from TAN to TAB.
then automatically PR created in sales order...
that you can see in VA02 ---scheduline category view.
then you create PO.
goods receipt.
create outbound delivery in VL01N.( with reference to order).
Create Billing to customer
otherwise you create material master as follows.
material type --- Trading goods.
General item category--- BANC.
item category-- TAB.

Can we run a finished good ATP check based on a full pallet at Sales order level
Hi Folks,
I have a requirement from business stating that "is it possible to run a finished good ATP check based (for ex.) on a full pallet when the alternative UOM is maintained in the material master for the finished goods. For ex. 20 kg = 1 pallet".
Now I know about the transactions POP1 & POF1 used in packing. But I want to know can we include the pallets & run an ATP check at SO level for the handling unit created altogether?
Kindly suggest
Thanks & regards
Ashwin VyasHi Phanikumar,
The customer has given a crude requirement as off now & asked to investigate. So i would like to explore the possible solutions.
However, i would like to know is packing at SO level can be a solution to this requirement.
Also, I agree with your comment that "In Normal--Availability can happen on BASE UNIT OF MEASURE", in addition to that here in this case the availability check is marked for the pallets in master data.
Thanks

MAKE TO ORDER AND VARAINT CONFIGURATION
Hi firends,
What is the difference between MAKE TO ORDER and VARAINT CONFIGURATION PROCESS, in which scenarios we are using both topics. Can any one explain about steps for make to order and variant configuration. i need complete process.PLS REFER LIN BELOW
Make-to-Order (MTO)
Purpose
The planning strategies explained in this section are designed for the production of a material for a specific individual sales order. In other words, you do not want to produce finished products until you receive a sales order. This means that make-to-order strategies always support a very close customer-vendor relationship, because your sales orders are closely linked to production.
The same relationship exists between the sales order and production that exists in a make-to-order environment. Make-to-order is also used in the following environments.
Production using variant configuration
Assemble-to-order
Prerequisites
Choose a make-to-order strategy, if:
The materials are segregated. In other words, they are uniquely assigned to specific sales orders.
Costs must be tracked at sales order level and not on material level.
Make-to-order strategies should always be combined with lot-size key EX (lot-for-lot. Rounding values should not be used. If you maintain rounding values, they have no effect due to the make-to-order properties of these strategies.
Process Flow
There are extensive options that enable you to procure components especially for specific sales order items.
You may, however, want to use a different planning strategy to procure components without sales orders. This allows you to keep your replenishment lead time to a minimum. You can do this by:
Planning on the basis of the finished product (see Planning Without Final Assembly (50) or Planning with a Planning Material (60))
Planning at component level (see Strategies for Planning Components)
Using consumption-based or Kanban-controlled components
Customer stock can exist on any BOM level. See Stockkeeping at Different BOM Levels for more information.
Because production is closely linked to sales orders, this results in a customer section in the stock/requirements list.
Unplanned goods receipts (such as returns) cannot, as a rule, be used for other sales orders, even if they are in working order, unless they are adapted to meet a customer's needs.
In the basic make-to-order strategy, Make-to-Order Production (20), no specific product structures are required. This means that it does not matter if the material has a BOM or not. The material can be produced in-house, or it can be procured externally. No planning is involved in this strategy.
Planning Without Final Assembly (50) and Planning with a Planning Material (60) do require a specific product structure (i.e. a BOM, which means materials are always produced in-house). These planning strategies assume that you want to plan procurement (production or purchasing) of your components by planning the finished products. This means that you need to have a fairly stable demand for your finished products. If, however, you can plan more easily at component level than at finished product level, see Strategies for Planning Components.
Make to order production
1. Make to order production means that the materials (finished products) are not stored in the warehouse but produced especially for a particular sales order or a sales order item. An individual customer requirement is generated from the sales order item and transferred to materials planning (MM/PP). You can use materials planning to plan requirements. Once this has been done, production is carried out. After the product has been manufactured, you post it by goods receipt to sales orders stock specifically for this sales order item. As soon as the delivery is due, you can enter the delivery in SD and post goods issue which reduces the sales order stock and then a billing document can be entered.
2. The item category in the sales document is found using the sale document type and the item category group from the material master found on the tab page sales org 2 i.e.
a. sales document type OR
b. item category group 0001
c. item category - TAK
3. MTO without assembly processing the requirement quantity (planned independent requirements), delivery date and configuration specifications are transferred from the sales order to materials planning as an individual customer requirement. A planned order is generated using a planning run where the bills of material are exploded and dependant requirements (i.e. multi-level BOM) for the assemblies and components are generated. As soon as the production starts, a production order is created from the planned order. The system returns the confirmed quantity and delivery date from the production order to the sales order.
4. MTO with assembly processing in this case the individual components for the final product have already been produced. You only need to assemble the components according to the customers wishes. In this process, you only need a one level BOM and generation of dependent requirements is not necessary. In this case no planning run is generated and a production order is created directly from the sales order. The system returns the confirmed quantity and the delivery date from the production order to the schedule lines in the sales order. Any changes made to the confirmed schedule lines or the delivery date is immediately visible in the sales order and/or in the production order.
5. After production department has finished making the material, goods receipt is posted in the sales order stock i.e. special stock which can only be used for a specific sales order. After posting goods issue for outbound delivery, the sales order stock is reduced accordingly.
6. Make-to-order production is a process in which a product is individually manufactured for a particular customer. In contrast to mass production for an unspecified market where a material is manufactured many times, in make-to-order production a material is created only once though the same or a similar production process might be repeated at a later time.
7. You can use make-to-order production: (a) For branches of industry or products where a small quantity of products with a large number of different characteristics are manufactured (b) When a product has to be assembled particularly for a sales order.
8. Stock keeping is not usually carried out for products that are made to order. In companies using make-to-order production, the demand program only determines the production area, in which various variant types are produced. Depending on how you track the costs associated with make-to-order production, there are two ways to process make-to-order items during sales order processing.
(a) Make to order using sales order
(b) Make to order using project system (not relevant for SD application)
9. for make to order production using the sales order, all costs and revenues involved for an order item are held collectively at that item. A particular rule is used that can be changed manually to transfer costs to profitability analysis.
10. make to order production is largely a production planning configuration. It is also controlled by the requirements type, which is determined by three things
the strategy group (MRP 3) in MMR
the MRP group (MRP1) in MMR
the item category and MRP type (MRP 1)
11. Make-to-order production is controlled by the requirements type. The requirements type is determined on the basis of the MRP group (MRP1) and the strategy group (MRP3) in the material master record. In addition, a plant must be assigned for make-to-order items in the sales order.
VARIENT CONFIGURATION
Variant configuration is for manufacturing complex products in which customer determines the features of the product. Objective of variant configuration is to react quickly to customers' requirements.
Here it needs not to create separate material for each variant of a product. When companies introduce variant configuration this often goes beyond a business process re-engineering project.
1 Variant configuration offers an opportunity to restructure product structures for which then processes are defined. This has a direct impact to the core areas such as marketing and product data management.
2 Advantages of VC
· No need to Create separate material master for each variant combination.
· Super BOM and Super Routing is enough for representing all possible Variants and Operations.
· Able to react more flexible to customer demands.
· Increase Information exchange between sales, engineering and production.
3 What is Configurable Material?
· A material with different features or characteristics and options is known as configurable material. Example: PC, Car.
· Configurable materials are either created in a material type that allows the configuration (n the standard system, the material type KMAT) or they are given the indicator Configurable in the material master record.
4 Master Data used for VC
Following Objects are used as Master data for Variant configuration.
1. Super BOM
2. Super Routing
3. Characteristic
4. Class
5. Object Dependencies
6. Configuration Profile
7. SD Condition records
4.1 Super BOM
Super BOM Contains all the components for producing configurable product. It contains both variant as well as non-variant parts required for producing configurable product.
4.1.1 Super BOM configuration
Super BOM can be created either one of the following methods.
· Create BOM with class Item of 200-class type that contains all characteristic of a configurable material.
· Create BOM with all possible materials as its components. Then assign /define dependencies to each component.
The different between these two methods is
· BOM with class item, no need to assign or define object dependencies. Instead of that each material is classified in material master itself using class 200.
· For both cases all characteristics are assigned to class 300 which is again assigned to KMAT material in order to trigger configuration in configuration profile.
4.1.2 Super BOM with Class Item
Class items used to control the selection of variant parts in a BOM. Variant parts are classified in a class, and the class is entered in the BOM as a class item. When you configure the material, the class is replaced by a suitable variant part.
4.1.3 Advantages of using Class Item in BOM
· Only one item for the class is enough, instead of several items for the individual variant parts.
· No need to create and assign selection conditions.
· Able to classify additional objects in the class at any time, without having to change the BOM.
4.1.4 Steps involved in super BOM with Class
Define all Characteristics and its Values assign it to Class with type 200.
Assign characteristic Values to materials by Classification material
Assign class 200 with material instead of assigning all BOM items.
Create and Assign class 300 (with same characteristics) with configurable product using configuration profile.
4.1.5 Super BOM with Material Components
This bill of material (BOM) of a configurable material contains all the components that are required to manufacture the material. The BOM contains components that are only used in specific variants (variant parts), as well as components that are used in all variants (non-variable parts).
4.1.6 Steps involved in super BOM with Material Components
Define all Characteristics and its values assign it to Class with type 300.
Assign Class with configurable material in Configuration profile.
BOM is created with all variant and non-variant items.
Define interdependency between objects (Characteristic, BOM item, Routing Operation etc ) by using Object Dependencies.
Assign class 300 with configurable product using configuration profile.
4.2 Super Routing
A configurable routing describes the production process for all variants of a product. Instead of creating a routing for each variant of a product, you can create operations for one routing, or a "super" routing.
It is possible to maintain Object dependencies for following in super routing:
· Sequences
· Operations/sub-operations
· Production resource/tool assignments
The routing is configured by system, when order is created for KMAT material.
4.3 Characteristic
Characteristic is used to define the features of a configurable material. To enable to use characteristics to configure a material, assign the material to a class of class type 300. The customer can choose from among different options for each characteristic.
· Characteristics describe the properties of objects. The values of a characteristic specify these properties.
· Value assignment to characteristic may be single value or multiple value with required entry or restrict able entry.
· In characteristic it is also possible to use table name and its field name in order to change the Object quantity or values. I.e. BOM item quantity or Operation time, which is known as reference characteristic.
· In Restriction screen allowed Class types are entered i.e. for what are the class this characteristic may used. In general for Variant configuration class 200 and 300 are used.
· It is also possible to assign Dependency to characteristic values maintained in Characteristic.
4.4 Variant Class
· In Variant configuration, Class is used to hold the characteristics that describe about configurable material. Class type to determine which object types can be classified.
· Class is used in variant configuration if the class has a class type that supports variant configuration. In Customizing for Classification, the Variant class type indicator must be set for the class type. In the standard system, this is class type 300.
4.5 Dependencies
· Dependencies restricts the combinations of options i.e. characteristic that are not allowed. It also select exactly the right BOM components and operations to produce a variant.
· It also describe the interdependencies between characteristics and characteristic values
· It control which components are selected from a bill of material (BOM) and which operations are selected from a task list
· It also changes the values of fields in BOM items and operations during configuration.
4.5.1 Global and Local Dependencies
Global dependencies have the following properties:
· They are independent of any object.
· They are identified by a name that you assign, and are maintained and managed centrally.
· If you change a global dependency, the change affects all the objects where the dependency is used
Local dependencies have the following properties:
· They are only available to the object for which you create them
· You cannot use the central maintenance functions on these dependencies, and you cannot allocate them to other objects
· They are identified by a number assigned by the system, not an external name
Local dependencies are only used where certain dependency will not be needed elsewhere
The differences between global and local dependencies are as follows:
· Global dependencies are created centrally and can be assigned to several objects.
· Local dependencies are created for one object and can only be used with this object
4.5.2 Declarative and Procedural Dependency
· In Declarative dependencies the result are explained logically
· Declarative dependencies are easier to trace than procedural dependencies, because the point in time when the dependency is processed and the sequence in which the dependencies are processed are not relevant.
· Example for Declarative dependency:
- Constraint
- Actions
- Preconditions (provided that they contain no non-declarative expressions)
- Selection conditions (provided that they contain no non-declarative expressions)
· In Procedural Dependency result depends on the processing sequence and the point in time when the dependency is processed.
- Procedures
- Preconditions (only if they contain non-declarative expressions)
- Selection conditions (only if they contain non-declarative expressions)
4.5.3 Dependencies Types
The SAP System supports the following types of dependencies:
· Preconditions
· Selection conditions
· Procedures
· Actions (obsolete)
· Constraints
4.5.4 Preconditions
Preconditions can be allocated to the following objects:
· A characteristic that you want to hide
· A characteristic value that you want to hide
Preconditions are used to hide characteristics and characteristic values that are not allowed and thereby ensure that the configuration of an object is consistent. In the precondition, it is also possible define the circumstances under which a characteristic or value is hidden.
A precondition is fulfilled if the condition you enter is either true or not violated.
4.5.5 Selection Conditions
Selection conditions used to ensure that all the objects relevant to a variant are selected:
· Selection conditions determine which variants require a specific component or operation
· Selection conditions determine when it is mandatory to assign a value to a characteristic
Selection conditions may allocate to the following objects:
· Characteristics
· BOM items
· Operations in task lists
· Sub-operations
· Sequences of operations
· Production resources/tools (PRTs)
A selection condition is fulfilled if the condition in it is unambiguously true.
4.5.6 Procedure
Procedures can be assigned to the following objects:
· The characteristic value that triggers the procedure
· The characteristic that triggers the procedure
· The configuration profile of the configurable object
Procedure is used for following purposes.
· A procedure is used to infer a value for a characteristic, you enter the variable $SELF before the characteristic.
· Procedures can overwrite values that are set by other procedures.
· Procedures are always used for pricing (see Variant Conditions).
Processing Sequences of Procedure
If an object has more than one procedure, a processing sequence is used to define the point when the procedure is processed.
4.5.7 Action
Actions are used to infer characteristic values. An action is processed as soon as the characteristic to which it is assigned has a value. It is not possible to overwrite the characteristic values that are set by an action.
The following Objects can assign to action:
· The characteristic value that triggers the action
· The characteristic that triggers the action
· The configuration profile of the configurable object
· Configuration profile
· BOM items to change the quantity
· Operations in task lists to change the standard values
Since Action is lead to serious system performance problems, it is replaced by Procedure and Constraint.
4.5.8 Constraint
This dependency type is mainly for intensively interactive configuration tasks and for configuration tasks in which you need to take into account the dependencies between the characteristics of several objects. The main purpose of a constraint is to monitor the consistency of a configuration.
Constraints have the following distinguishing features:
· Constraints are used to describe the dependencies between completely different objects and their characteristics.
· Constraints are used to store information on which conditions must be fulfilled if the configuration is to be consistent.
· Constraints are not directly allocated to individual objects. They are grouped together to form dependency nets and allocated to a configurable material in the configuration profile.
· In constraints, you enter objects in their general form of expression, without using $SELF, $ROOT, or $PARENT to identify objects. As a rule, you refer to objects in constraints by entering the class to which the objects are allocated.
· Constraints are declarative dependencies. The processing sequence of constraints and the point in time when constraints are processed is not relevant.
· Constraints are not processed in a specific order. You cannot determine when a specific constraint is used.
In any processing situation, a constraint is only processed once. If a value that is relevant to the constraint is changed, the constraint is triggered again.
4.5.8.1 Structure of Constraints
There are four sections in a constraint. Each part is identified by a keyword. A colon follows the keyword. Each section ends with a period.
OBJECTS:
In this section, you enter the objects that are relevant to the constraint. You must enter the relevant objects in all constraints. You can also define variables for objects or characteristics.
CONDITION:
The condition entered here must be fulfilled in order for the constraint to be used. You do not need to enter a condition in a constraint. You can leave out the keyword CONDITION: if required. However, if you enter the keyword you must enter a condition.
RESTRICTIONS:
In this section, you enter the relation that must exist between the objects and characteristics if the configuration is to be consistent. You must enter a restriction in a constraint.
INFERENCES:
In this section, you enter the characteristics for which characteristic values are to be inferred. The main purpose of constraints is to check the consistency of a configuration. Usually, values are only inferred if you make an entry in this section.
For reasons of performance, only use constraints to infer values if it is really necessary. Constraints are grouped together to form dependency nets. The dependency net is allocated to a configurable material in the configuration profile.
4.5.9 Dependency Net:
Constraints are grouped together in dependency nets. For this reason, the variant configuration menu does not support a function for creating constraints directly. So that only constraints are defined within a dependency net.
5 Configuration Profile
The configuration profile for a material controls the configuration process in sales order. Configurable profile also used to define central settings for configuring the object. Using this profile it is possible to hide some of the characteristic value defined during characteristic creation. We can assign any number profile for a configurable material in which selection is based on either priority or manual selection during configuration.
By defining a filter in the configuration profile, possible to determine the scope of the BOM items to improve system performance when exploding the BOM. The filter is active in high-level configuration, in result-oriented BOMs, and in SET processing.
5.1 Filters in Configurable Profile
Following objects can be used as filter:
· Object type
Class, material, document, text
In the standard system, all object types are selected and therefore exploded in the configuration. Deselect the object types that you do not want to be displayed.
· Item category, for example, stock or non-stock item
All item categories in the configuration are exploded in the standard system. Remove the selection for the item categories you do not want to be displayed.
· Item status
You maintain the status of a BOM item in maintain BOM dependent on its usage.
All items are displayed regardless of their item status in the standard system. However, only the items with this status are displayed when you select specific item statuses. Items are not displayed that do not have the selected status.
· Sort string
You can assign sort strings for BOM items in maintain BOM. You can restrict the display of the BOM items by using these sort strings.
Only items that carry sort strings are checked and only those that match are displayed. Items that have no sort string are always displayed.
5.2 Component availability in the configuration profile
The availability check is just a snapshot, telling that whether the materials required are in stock at this moment. Several users can access the same material at once. This means that supply problems can sometimes be overlooked.
Example: Only 2 pieces of a material are in stock, but the material is used in 3 BOMs. The availability check does not detect a supply problem. The availability check for all 3 BOMs shows 2 pieces in stock.
5.3 Process Overview
There are different processes for configurable materials in sales documents. These processes can be defined on the Configuration initial screen tab in the configuration profile, by choosing the Configuration parameter tab.
The Process are described in the following scenarios:
Planned/Production orders
This processing type is used to describe variant products whose configurable materials are assembled using planned and production orders. The bill of material (BOM) can have single-level, multi-level, or no explosion.
Sales Order (SET)
This processing type is used to describe variant products that comprise salable configurable materials. These products are supplied together, but are not assembled in a production order. Only sales-relevant BOM items are exploded in the sales order.
Order BOM.
You use this processing type if you want to make customer-specific changes to the BOM of a material that you configure in the sales order. In the sales order, you assign values to the characteristics of the header material, but the BOM is not exploded in the sales order.
6 Material Variant and Planning Material
6.1 Material Variant
· Material Variant is an material that can arises from individual Configuration of a configurable product and can be kept in stock
· For variants that are required frequently, we can create material variants, which can be produced without a sales order and kept in stock. When a sales order is received, it is possible to check whether the variant required is in stock, so that it can deliver immediately.
· For material variants, a separate material master record is created with a material type that is kept in stock.
· Separate BOM and routing for a material variant, or you can link the material variant to the BOM and routing of the configurable material. The correct BOM items and operations are determined from the characteristic values assigned to the variant.
6.2 Planning Material
· Planning Material is a material, which contains all the non-variant parts.
· By using planning material all non-variants are procured / produced before sales order.
· It is also possible for Planing the Planning Materials without reference to any sales requirement.
· Planning material is planned separately using strategy 65 and produced before sales order creation.

A bill of material (BOM) describes the different components that together create a product. A BOM for a bicycle, for example, consists of all the parts that make up the bicycle: the frame, the saddle, wheels, and so on.
When you enter the material number of a bill of materials that is relevant for sales order processing, the system displays the material that describes the whole bill of materials as a main item. The individual components are displayed as lower-level items.
There are two ways to process a bill of materials in Sales. Once you have entered a bill of material in a sales order, the system runs pricing, inventory control, and delivery processing at: Main item level if the material is assembled, or - Component level if the material is not assembled.
9.2 Processing at Main Item Level (ERLA)
If you want the system to carry out pricing, inventory control, and delivery processing at main item level, enter ERLA in the Item category group field of the Sales: sales org. 2 screen in the material master record of the finished product. This means that the components only function as text items and are not relevant for delivery.
9.3 Processing at Component Level (LUMF)
If you want the system to carry out pricing, inventory control, and delivery processing at the component level, enter LUMF in the Item category group field of the Sales: sales org. 2 screen in the material master record of the finished product. In this case, only the components are relevant for delivery. During processing the system automatically creates a delivery group. The latest delivery date among all the components becomes the delivery date for the entire delivery group.

- The system determines the unit of measure from the additional data of the class.
- If a unit of measure without a dimension is maintained in the additional data of the class, you cannot change this unit.
10.1.3 Creating Characteristic
Purpose:
· Characteristic is created with possible values.
· It is also possible to use table name and its field name in order to change the Object quantity or values. Ie BOM item quantity or Operation time. This is known as Reference characteristic.
· For changing BOM quantity Characteristic is created with table name STOP-MENGE is used.
· For Variant pricing purpose SDCOM-VKOND is used.
· Characteristics allow describing and distinguishing between objects, such as length, color, or weight within the classification system.
Procedure
SAP Menu Logistic->Centralfunction->Environment->classification->Chracteristics
Transaction Code CT04
· From the classification menu, choose Characteristics.
· Enter data on the initial screen.
· In the Characteristic field, enter a name for new characteristic
· Enter a change number if you want to create the characteristic using engineering change management.
· To do this, choose processing type Create characteristic.
· You can also copy the data of an existing characteristic. Use the pushbutton Create by copying. Enter the name of a characteristic you want to copy.
· Confirm the entries.
· On the Basic data tab page enter the most important control data for the characteristic.
· You must maintain the basic data for all characteristics. All other screens are optional.
· In the formatting data for value assignment, whether a characteristic is single-value, multiple-value, or retractable is defined. It is not possible change the value assignment indicator once it has set. It applies wherever the characteristic is used.
· The data type of the characteristic determines which values can be entered for the characteristic. I can any one of the following
- Characters
- Numeric
- Time format/Date format
- Currency format and
- User defined data type.
· For numeric characteristic it need to maintain that whether interval values to a numeric characteristic, or only individual values need to be maintain in Basic Data screen itself.
· Languages in which characteristic want to describe are entered.
· Choose the tab page Values.
· Enter values in the entry fields. Enter each value in a separate field.
· The values must match the format that you defined on the Basic Data screen. You can enter up to the number of characters that you defined in the format.
· If your characteristic is an alphanumeric characteristic, enter a language-dependent value description. You can enter up to 30 characters.
· It is not possible to enter a language-dependent description for numeric values
· It is also possible to define one value as a default value. This value then appears as a default in characteristic value assignment functions
· Additional value indicator determines that whether values that are not defined as allowed values can be assigned to a characteristic
· The following value check strategies are available in value maintenance screen.
- Allowed Values:
- Check Tables
- Function module
- Catalog character
· Allowed values permits only values defined in characteristics maintenance are used to check a characteristic value
· Check table permits only values entered in characteristics maintenance is used to check a value
· Function module entered is used to check characteristic values.
· Value catalog entered is used to check characteristic values
· Documents, such as drawings or photographs, with characteristics can be linked in additional data screen. Before link a document to a characteristic, it must create a document info record in the document management system.
· In this screen it also possible to restrict or hidden or displaying only allowed values to characteristic.
· It is possible to that characteristic can be only assigned to particular class type by assigning type in restriction screen.
· To change a characteristic selects the pushbutton Change in characteristics after entering the characteristic. To display the characteristic chooses the pushbutton Display.
10.1.4 Creating Class:
Purpose:
· A class is used to hold the characteristics that describe a configurable material. By linking the class to the configurable material, you allow the material to be configured using the characteristics of the class.
Procedure
SAP Menu Logistic->Central function->Environment->classification->Class
Transaction Code CL01
· Class holds all characteristics describe configurable material.
· Class with class type 300 is used in configuration profile.
· On basic Data screen class description, its status is entered. Status determines:
· whether a class can be maintained
· whether objects can be allocated to a class
· whether the class can be used for selecting objects
· Class group is used to group together related classes and also for finding classes quickly via a matchcode.
· Same Classification indicator determines whether system check for identical characteristic values. In this case, where several objects are assigned that have the same values for all characteristics to the same class. Depends upon indicator system give warning or error message or no message.
· Keyword string is used for finding a class via matchcode.The description entered on the basic data screen serves as the first keyword
· On characteristic screen list characteristic which has to attach with configurable material is entered.
· Using document tab screen it is possible to assign documents related to configurable object.
· On additional data screen whether or not this class can be used as a class component in bills of material. If it is yes then Unit of measure in which stocks of the material are managed. The system converts all the quantities you enter in other units of measure (alternative units of measure) to the base unit of measure and resulting item category which will replace this class item in BOM (i.e. Stock, Non-stock item etc ).
10.1.5 Creating Dependency
Purpose
Dependency describes the interdependencies between characteristics and characteristic values and it controls which components to be selected from a bill of material (BOM) and which operations to be selected from a task list. It also changes the field values in BOM items and operations during configuration.
Procedure
SAP Menu Logistic->Central function->Variant Configuration->dependency->Single Dependency->Create Dependency
Transaction Code CU01
· From the variant configuration menu, choose Dependency -> Single dependency-> Create
· In initial screen name of the dependency is entered. If dependency need to create for a specific date, enter a change number. It is also possible to create dependency by copying from existing dependency.
· On basic data screen the following data are required to enter
- A language-dependent description for the dependency
- Also possible to enter descriptions in different languages by choosing Descriptions.
- Long texts for the dependency, choose Extras -> Documentation.
- In the standard R/3 System, the status In preparation when a dependency is created first time. The status is set to Released when the source code is syntactically correct.
- Finally suitable dependency type is selected.
· In Dependency editor the source code for the dependency is entered. Once the source code is syntactically correct, the source code is saved.
· Now the status of the dependency is turns to Released. Save the Dependency and exit.
10.1.6 Changing Bill of Material (Assign Dependencies)
Purpose:
By assigning dependencies to BOM components, it is possible to restrict the selection of irrelevant variant parts.i.e correct BOM components are get selected at result of configuration. It is also possible to change the component quantity depends upon characteristic value changed.
Procedure
1. Access the activity using one of the following navigation options:
SAP Menu Logistics ® Production ® Master Data ® Bills of Material ® Bill of Material ® Material BOM ® Change
Transaction Code CS02
· Dependencies are assigned with respect to characteristic for each variant part.
· Dependencies are created either locally within object or globally which can be assigned to any objects.
· In BOM General Item overview screen choose the component in which dependency need to assign and choose menu path Extras -> Dependency -> assignment of dependency for assignment.
· It also possible to enter dependency directly in BOM itself by choosing Extras -> Dependency -> dependency editor.
10.1.7 Creating Configuration Profile
Purpose
· Configuration profile used for assigning configurable material with variant class (300) and also used to maintain some central settings.
· It is possible to assign more than one configurable profile for one KMAT material.
· The selection of profile depends upon either by priority or by manual selection.
· It is also possible to assign dependencies to configurable profile.
· Class with type 300, which hold the entire characteristics of KMAT material, are assigned to each profile
Procedure:
Access the activity using one of the following navigation options:
SAP Menu Logistics ® Production ® Master Data ® Material Master ® Environment ® Configuration Profile ® Create
Transaction Code CU41
· From the Variant Configuration menu, choose Configuration profile->Create.
· A dialog box will be displayed. The object name is entered. Confirm your entries.
· On profile overview screen the following data need to be entered.
· Profile name and the class type of classes used for configuration. In Customizing for the Classification System, the class type must be defined as a variant class type.
· Choose Goto -> Class assignments or the Class assignment pushbutton to assign the object to a class.
· In the classification screen, names of the classes are entered.
· It is possible to restrict allowed characteristic values for the configurable object if required.
· Release of profile is possible only if configurable object is assigned to a class. To go to the detail screen, where you define further settings, choose the Profile detail pushbutton or double-click on the profile.
10.1.7.1 Optional Settings on the Profile Overview
· Organizational Areas
You can specify organizational areas for configuration. If you restrict a profile to specific organizational areas, you only see the characteristics that are relevant to your area when you configure the object.
You can change how characteristics are displayed according to organizational area for your user on the value assignment screen.
· Priority of Configuration Profiles
You can create several configuration profiles for a configurable material. The profile with the lowest number has the highest priority.
If you define several profiles for an object, you see a dialog box for selecting a profile when you start configuration. The profile with the highest priority is at the top of the list.
The priority is also relevant if you use Application Link Enabling (ALE) or intermediate documents (IDocs) to run configuration, rather than dialog mode. In this case, the profile with the highest priority is selected for the object. Profiles that have no priority are at the top of the list, because they automatically have priority 0.
10.1.7.2 Profile Detail
· Configuration Profiles for Materials
The configuration profile has several screens. Depending on what you enter for the BOM explosion and configuration process, fields are shown or hidden.
The parameters you maintain for a material apply to the material as a header material in a BOM structure. You cannot define separate settings for use of a configurable material as an assembly in a BOM.
- By choosing the Assignments pushbutton, you can assign dependencies to the configuration profile. You also see this pushbutton on the basic data tab, once at least one dependency is assigned.
· Basic Data Tab
- In the basic data, click on the profile overview data.
- If configuration process need to starts with a Start logo, documents are assigned such, as a graphic showing the product you want to configure, to the variant class.
- Configuration Initial Screen Tab
· Configuration parameters
- The parameters for BOM explosion and the configuration process in the sales order are specified here.
- BOM application must be entered, if BOM explosion None is selected rather than single and multi level explosion is selected.
- By entering a level of detail for a multi-level configuration, system performance will be improved.
- It is also possible to define a filter and set the indicator for an availability check on assemblies.
10.1.8 Changing Configuration Profile: Add User Interface Settings
Purpose
Settings for the configuration editor in user interface.
- An interface design is used to group characteristics together on the value assignment screen.
- Here it also possible to define object-specific settings for functions in the configuration editor. These settings are defaults for configuration, and can be overwritten for your user in the configuration editor.
- For all configuration parameters except BOM explosion None, manually select the screens for the configuration editor and define which screen configuration starts with. The start screen must be one of the allowed screens.
- The indicator for the configuration browser independently of the other start screens can be selected, because the browser is an additional screen section.
Configuration Profiles for Objects Other than Materials
- Object-specific settings for displaying characteristics and characteristic values in the configuration editor can be defined. These settings are defaults for configuration, and can be overwritten for your user in the configuration editor.
Procedure
Access the activity using one of the following navigation options:
SAP Menu Logistics ® Production ® Master Data ® Material Master ® Environment ® Configuration Profile ® Change
Transaction Code CU42
10.1.9 Configuration Simulation
Purpose:
· Configuration simulation is used to check the configuration model. In the configuration simulation, the whether or not Object structure is created correctly and dependencies are working fine is checked.
· Simulation of Sales/Engineering
- The configuration parameters in the configuration profile apply. Whether the configuration is simulated from the sales point of view or the engineering point of view is defined.
- If select Sales & distribution is selected the configuration in a sales document will be simulated (sales order or quotation), so the BOM explosion depends on the settings in the configuration profile.
- If Engineering is selected, the configuration in order BOM processing will be simulated. The configuration and BOM explosion depend on the configuration parameters in the same way as when maintaining an order BOM. For example, we cannot configure the header material, because the configuration is copied from the sales order.
· Simulation of a Planned Order
- On the characteristic value assignment screen, we can choose Planned order to display the components that are determined in material requirements planning (MRP) according to the characteristic values assigned. This is especially relevant to assemblies whose BOMs are exploded in MRP, not in Sales & distribution (for example, assemblies with the BOM explosion setting None in their configuration profile).
Procedure:
SAP R/3 menu Logistics ® Production ® Master Data ® Bills of Material ® Environment ® Variant Configuration ® Environment ® Configuration Simulation
Transaction Code CU50
· On the initial screen of the configuration simulation, select BOM to display the entire structure on the result screen.
· If you have created more than one configuration profile for a material, you see a dialog box. Select a profile and choose Continue. If you want to call detailed information on the profile, choose Profile Detail or double-click on the profile.
· To display the task list of an assembly on the result screen, select the assembly and choose View ® Objects ® Task list.
· You see the operations or activities in the task list that was selected for the assembly during configuration.
· Operations that have been changed by dependencies have an information icon next to them. You can display changes by choosing Information.
· To return to the BOM explosion, choose View ® Objects ® BOM
10.2 Sales and Distribution
10.2.1 Creating Condition Records - VA00
Purpose:
The purpose of this activity is to create condition records for VA00.
Procedure
1. Access the activity using one of the following navigation options:
SAP Menu Logistics ® Sales and Distribution ® Master Data ® Conditions ® Select Using Condition Type ® Create
Transaction Code VK11
· Create price for each value of the characteristics by select using condition type VA00.
· Create the Price for the condition type that represents these types of the standard-delivered condition type for this functionality is VA00.
· Condition type VA00 requires as key fields the sales Organization, distribution channel, and material number of the configurable.
· Condition type PR00 used to maintain base price of the configurable material.
· Using VA01it is also possible to maintain Surcharges and discounts.
10.2.2 Condition records for Variant Price and Surcharges
Purpose
Condition records allow you to store and retrieve pricing data in the system. All the pricing elements of your daily business - the prices, discounts, and surcharges for freight and taxes - that you want to use for automatic pricing must be stored in the system as condition records. You can define as many condition records as you want for the different pricing elements for any validity period.
You create condition records for all the pricing elements that the system takes into account during automatic pricing. During document processing, the system transfers data from the condition records and determines the amounts for individual pricing elements (prices, discounts and surcharges) and the final amount for the sales document
Procedure
10.2.2.1 Create a characteristic for the Pricing
- Create Pricing characteristic like CAR_Pricing and go to additional data tab give SDCOM table name VKOND field name.
SAP Menu Logistic->Centralfunction->Environment->classification->Chracteristics
Transaction Code CT04
10.2.2.2 Assign the characteristic to the class
Assign given characteristics to class, In variant configuration, a class is used to hold the characteristics that describe a configurable material. By linking the class to the configurable material, it allows the material to be configured using the characteristics of the class. In the standard R/3 System, the class type for configurable material is 300.
SAP Menu Logistic->Central function->Environment->classification->Class
Transaction Code CL01
10.2.2.3 Create a dependency that triggers the price
A Dependency is a rule that defines how the different options and option values, represented by characteristics and characteristic values, relate to one another. To create a dependency, follow the menu path
SAP Menu Logistic->Central_function->VariantConfiguration->dependency->Single Dependency->Create Dependency
Transaction Code CU01
10.2.2.4 Assign the dependency to the characteristic value that triggers the price
For example eCar2002, the value V8 refers to the engine selected by the customer. Therefore, the dependency must be linked to the value V8 of the characteristic that represents the engine type. To do this, go to the master data record of the characteristic CAR_ENGINE
SAP Menu Logistic->Centralfunction->Environment->classification->Chracteristics
Transaction Code CT04
Go to the Values tab. From there, select theV8 entry and use the menu path Extras Object dependencies Assignments, which brings you to the screenshot to the right; if you have created a global dependency, you can link it to the characteristic value.2 Once the dependency has been assigned, the information on this screen, such as the description (Engine price), will default to the information entered when you created the characteristic.
10.2.2.5 Create variant price
Create price for each value of the characteristics using condition type (or transaction VK11). Create the Price for the condition type that represents these types of the standard-delivered condition type for this functionality is VA00. Condition type VA00 requires as key fields the sales Organization, distribution channel, and material number of the configurable.
In the same way using condition type VA01 is also used to maintain prices for surcharges and discounts.
10.2.2.6 Creating the output condition records for sales
Output types are used to represent various forms of output in the SAP system. Examples of output types in Sales and Distribution processing are order confirmations, freight lists, and invoices. You use the output type to control how the output should be transmitted, for example whether an order confirmation should be sent via EDI, or be printed
10.2.3 Creating Output Condition Records: Sales
Purpose:
Output types are used to represent various forms of output in the SAP system. Examples of output types in Sales and Distribution processing are order confirmations, freight lists, and invoices. You use the output type to control how the output should be transmitted, for example whether an order confirmation should be sent via EDI, or be printed
Procedure
1. Access the activity using one of the following navigation options:
SAP Menu Logistics ® Sales and Distribution ® Master Data ® Output ® Sales Document ® Create
Transaction Code VV11
· Choose Edit >Key combination

· Save the condition records.
10.2.4 Order BOM
Purpose:
Products that are made to order in plant engineering and construction and mechanical engineering are generally very complex and are specific to one customer. For this reason, you cannot define a BOM entirely in advance. Once you have created your sales order, you need to make manual changes to the BOM by creating an order BOM especially for the sales order, without changing the original BOM.
The sales order, sales order item, and material number identify an order BOM. In variant configuration, you can work with 2 types of order BOM. The difference is in the way they are saved.
Knowledge based order BOM
The order BOM is saved as a copy of the super BOM with manual changes and dependencies.
Result Oriented BOM
The configuration result is saved as an order BOM, with manual changes but without dependencies.
Procedure (For knowledge based BOM)
SAP Menu Logistics ® Production Planning ® Master Data ® Bills of Material -> Order BOM Maintain (Multi-Level)Transaction Code CU51
· The Create Order BOM: initial screen appears.
· Enter the sales order number, the order item, the material number and the BOM usage

Capacity requirement for long term planning and make to order planning
hello,
anybody please guide me.
my client using make to order scenarion and we are doing regulaly MRP run is MD50 with refernce to sales order.
sales orders planning will follow for 2 to 3 months.
at the same time my client wants to do long term planning also. to analize the capacity.
for that he is creatind planning scenario and multi level planning with MS02 also.
But the problem is when they are checking capacity requirement in cm38 it is showing only planning scenario load only. my client wants existing load and longterm planning load also. so they can plan the planning is sutibale in existing plan.
so how can i get both plan in CM 38or is there any other T.code to get that data.
please suggest me
Thanks & Regards
BhaktaHi Pierre and Rajesh,
When we create the simulation version, you have the possibility to choose the short-term planning. My point of view is, you can use the LTP fonction to do your scheduling for ex the next 3 months.
I think it's what Pierre did. Am I right ?
between to scheduling scenario to deliver my customer. With the simulation mode I can do my scheduling + use the MRP simulation to check if the raw material are available or not. Then use the MD04 to do the comparaison (or MS04 to compare between 2 scenario).
But I found 2 problems :
First : I don't find the parameters to show in the graphic MFS0, the planed fix order (I can only see the process order)
Second : When my scheduling is finished, I want to update my operational planning with the simulation version. But I don't want to do article by article : when you have 400 references (raw mat, packaging, finish goods) it's impossible (same issue like Pierre)
Have you found a solution for this 2 points ? -
Delivery Schedule line no in Make to Order
Hi all,
i am doing make to order scenario with 20 strategy group. In sales order we r defining the different delivery schedule lines.when i run the MRP and getting the plan orders for all the FG material and semifinished material, the sale order number and sale order item number is getting updated in production order . Beside these two , delivery schedule line number is not populated and delivery date is not picking correctly in production order.
please give your valuable suggestion .
i would be highly thankful to u
regards
piyushhi
thanks,
i have checked MD04 peg requirement list with order route.
every thing is ok.,schedule number is also coming but only for finished good . if three production order is there for semifinished then there is no any relation that how i can judge that this semifinished is for which FG material.means :
FG 1 FG 2 FG 3
SF 1 SF 2 SF 3
SF 11 SF 22 SF 33
How this SF 11 is linked with FG1.and schedule delivery number is there but only for FG material. planning segment is same for all the FG material.MRP element data having all the link but only for FG material.
what is the link of SF 11 to schedule delivery line number with FG material.

How can I set up purchase-to-order much the same as make-to-order
Hi all,
I apologise if this is posted in the wrong place but this is my first question that I couldn't answer by searching other posts/articles so I'm reaching out for some help and advice.
In PP, you can use a planning strategy to execute a make-to-order process which creates a production order specific to a sales order. Is the same possible within MM for creating a purchase order specific to a material required for a production order?
My example is this:
The BOM for FINI_ABC contains:
1 piece of PACK_1 (label)
1 piece of PACK_2 (container)
If I create a production order for FINI_ABC, MRP will obviosuly create requirements and purchase requisitions for both PACK_1 and PACK_2 materials. What I would like to achieve is for the production order number to be held within the purchase requisition and subsequently the purchase order.
This is required so that when the Purchase Order is created and sent to the vendor, they also receive the corresponding production order number. The vendor is then able to deliver the PACK materials packaged together for production which obviously eliminates some manual handling in the production warehouse.
As you see, it's very similar to Make-to-Order but I don't know where to start..........
Any help or advice to point me in the right direction would be very gratefully received.
Many thanks,
RobHi Rob,
Some care must be considered in respect to what materials will you be managing in your stock, if FINI_ABC or PACK_1 and PACK_2.
I'm guessing by your description you mean FINI_ABC.
I think you can create PACK_1 and PACK_2 as service materials and at your pricing condition for FINI_ABC you can define one of this "services" as a free goods item. Unfortunately you could only assign one item this way.
Another thing you can use is the empties management and set this two items in a empties BoM. Check:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/en/43/0102827af25285e10000000a1553f7/content.htm
In SAP Retail you can be even be a bit more creative with BoM's in purchasing as I recall.
You can also follow a more simple rule albeit some development required. Create your PO with only your finished material and create a new BoM usage and your "Purchase BoM's" for this usage. Then you set your purchase order smartform or EDI message to read this information and place it on the layout. Although you don't get the info in ME23N your supplier will.
Hope it helps,

How can I get the material consumption of the month for each specific Finished Good?
(Sorry, I first opened this discussion in another space. I guess here's where it belongs).
Dear Experts,
This is the first time I open a discussion. I'm new at this. I've been reading for a couple of months your forums and certainly you've helped me a lot. Thanks for that. Keep it up! ^_^
Now on business. Let me explain a bit about what I'm looking for.
I've been looking for a report that shows me the material consumption of the month in quantities. Raw Material and Packaging Material to be more specific. Also I need to see the consumption of those materials by each specific Finished Good.
For example, I know the consumption of Flour of all the month, but we use it for all our Finished Goods or SKU's as we call them, since we make cookies. How can I know how much Flour each Finished Good actually used?
I've been trying with different T-Codes, reports, etc. The last thing I've got is using transaction MB51 and filtering movements type from 261 to 262. The beauty of this report is that shows me the Process Order number, since I can match the PO number to a Finished Good with another report from BI (or BEX, however you call it).
Everything was fine until I found that there are some PO's that are not directly related to a Finished Good, but to a Semi Finished Good. In some cases I'm able to match the Finished Good, since the majority of Semi Finished Goods are uniques to a Finished Good. But there are three specific cases that are my problem right now:
Cream X: We use it for three Finished Goods.
X Syrup: We use it for all the Finished Goods.
Refined X Sugar: We use it for three Finished Goods.
So those three are Semi Finished Goods which are related to certain numbers of PO's I have on the report.
In the end, with the report from MB51 I have all the list of materials (filtering only Raw and Packaging), I have the consumption of the month (filtering movements 261 and 262) and I have the PO number related to each material. Of course one material is listed many times on the report, but with different PO number.
Then, like I said, I can match the PO number to a Finished Good, except in the cases where the PO is not matched to a Finished Good, but to a Semi Finished Good like the three examples I gave you.
I don't know if there's another way to track the Finished Good having the PO number. I've tried T-Code COR3, but couldn't get too far.
I hope I explained myself a bit clear and also sorry if my English is not so good.
Thanks in advance. ^_^
Warm regards,
RolHi Rolando,
If the purpose is to find the consumption of a material, you can get it from report "MC.9". Plz let me know if it's useful.

Delivery not created in make to order cycle
Hi
i am in the make to order process scenario and facing problems while creating a delivery after production order has been confirmed. The steps followed are
1. i create an order with M1 and quantity 100 - T code : VA01
2. i create a sales order BOM for the sales order created above and using material M1 - T cose : CS 61
3. This is followed by a production cycle - planned order, production order and confirmation with lot size of 7.
4. as one production order of size 7 is confirmed, the stock is generated of quantity 7 for the material M1. using MMBE i can see the stock being created.
5. Now as i go and try and create the delivery against order created in step 1, i get the error and that "No schedule lines due for delivery up to the selected date".
6. When i check my order in display mode, under schedule line it shows M1 with order quantity as 100 and confirmed quantity as 0.
Could you please advise if after the confirmation of production order, the schedule line in order will show quantity 7 and if i can delivery against it. Or is there any other way of creating the delivery.
ThanksHello,
In MTO scenario the following happens:
1. Sales Order is created - standard requirements type determined is KE which fetches requirements class 040. The requirements class 040 has controls for MTO & special stock indicator will have entry as "E-orders on hand".
2. After MRP is run the system will transfer the requirements to PP, a planned order will be created which is then converted into a production order.
3. After running the production cycle the goods will be transferred to the finished goods storage location.
4. Now when you check in the transaction code MMBE the system will show the material stock & under the sales order stock only.
5. But when you check the sales order -- line item schedule line, the system displays the confrimed quantity as "zero".
Explanation:
You created sales order for item A - 100 Quantities. Production was completed for 20 quantities. System shows sales order stock of 20 quantities only.
When you had created a sales order for item A the system after running the availability check would have determined a delivery date by way of which it would have shown you say 2 different schedule lines as under
Delivery Date.............Order qty............Rounded Qty...........Confirmed Qty
01/05/2009...................100......................100............................0
15/05/2009.....................0.........................0.............................100
The second date the system determines taking into consideration the inhouse manufacturing time specified by you in the material master (MRP2 screen) & the other settings which aare applicable for the checking group specified in the material master.
On 15/05/2009, if you create a delivery, the system will allow you to create the delivery irrespective of the stock in the plant. But at the time of post goods issue you will face a quantity deficit error.
If the goods are received in the finished goods storage location before 15/05/2009 say on 10/05/2009, the system will not update the schedule line automatically & when you try to create a delivery the system will display the error "no schedule lines due for delivery".
Solution:
Transaction code VA02 - select the sales order number - double click on the line item - go to schedule lines - here click on the button "Item Availability" or press "Ctrl + F5" to run the availability check. As you have stock of 7 quantity, the system will display 7 quantity on the curretn date. Select the option delivery proposal to continue. Now the system will show 2 schedule lines as under
Delivery Date.............Order qty............Rounded Qty...........Confirmed Qty
01/05/2009...................100......................100............................0
10/05/2009.....................0.........................0..............................7
Save the sales order & then create a delivery. The system will not give any error.
Note: You have to manually confirm the quantities for a make to stock sales order in case if the goods are received before the delivery date specified by the system.

Make to order and stock both in one material with consignment
Hi Seniors
FERT Material = XYZ which is being used for Make to Order and Make to stock both.
In case of make to stock scenario from GR u2013 101 and PGI made @ std price. At the time of Consignment 631 mvt. No accounting document is generated. As per my knowledge its fine. No issue.
In case of Make to order scenario for above material.
Q.1 At the time of goods receipt (101 Mvt) from production order, accounting document is generated at the rate of Per unit target cost of production order and no variance shown on production order. Why not accounting document is created at Std price of Material?
Q.2 At the the time of consignment an accounting document generated with following entry.
Finished Goods Inventory Dr
Price difference Dr
Finish Goods Inventory Cr
Why accounting document is generated at the time of consignment in case of make to order scenario? Pls confirm is this a sap standard behavour or anything wrong with me. As I told earlier that in case of make to stock when we make 631 mvt there is no accounting document generated.
Note: My standard price is on the base of mix costing using two production versions. Every time we create production order in each version.
Regards
ImdadHi Imdad
Q1: Why not accounting document is created at Std price of Material?
Check your req class... There is a Field called "Valuation"... your valuation depends on whether you select M or A there... You can decide to valuate based on CK11N std cost estimate or based on Sales order cost estimate / Prod order cost estimate
So, in a nut shell, you can configure the system to generate acc doc at CK11N Std cost also
Q2. Why accounting document is generated at the time of consignment in case of make to order scenario?
In my opinion, your MTO stock is maintained in Table EBEW.. Pls check that... WHen you do GR from Prod order, it resides in EBEW table..
However, when you send it as a cons stock, the link to sales order is lost and your stock is no longer a MTO stock.. Hence, it is valuated at CK11N Std Cost.... If there is a diff between CK11N cost and GR Price, then PRD is generated... Thats why you are seeing PRD in your case
