Plant or Storage location ?

Hello Experts ,
Here is the scenario, the client i am working with has its material sent to a location in south africa which is basically a 3rd party logistic company ...which distributes the material to different places ...what will be the right way to map this org structure in SAP .Do we need to make that as plant and storage location .Cause the client also want to valuate its materials which it had sent to the 3PL company in south africa...If i am not wrong,if we need to valuate material it has to be done at plant level.......Please advise .
What are the other informations do i need to get from the client to exactly decide that as a plant or storage location ....
Regards
Albert

Hi Albert.
When you say that you will be sending the materials to a "3rd Party Logistic Company". A few questions to understand the requiremnet better.
1. Have you created this company as a customer or logistic vendor?
2. If the sales order will be used for sending the materials as reference document?.
1. What really strikes me is that this kind of situation will be beter dealt if you created the
3rd Party Logistic Company" as customer then create a consignmnet fill up sales order for sending the material. Even if the material is with the customer as consignmnet , material will be valuated at US Plant.Once "3rd Party Logistic Company" delivers the goods to distribution channel the consignment issue will take place..
2. Else you create the "3rd Party Logistic Company location" as a "Plant " and use the functionality of Stock Transport Order to transfer from "US Plant" to "SA Plant".
Hope its helps you.
Thanks ,
Tausif

There's quite a lot you can do in Logistics Info Systems to report on stocks across multiple materials.
Other than that, it depends on what you really want to show - stock that's physically present (e.g. including vendor-owned consignment), stock that you own (e.g. including customer consignment or toll manufacturers' stocks); do you want to show quantities (doesn't usually make much sense for more than one material, of course, due to varying units of measure) or values, etc.
Some of these data are quite expensive to read from a runtime perspective, in particular the "special" stocks (e.g. consignment).
You also have to consider that stock you own but that's not physically present on site (e.g. customer consignment), or GR blocked stock, usually is not assigned to a storage location.
If you give me some more info about what you're actually trying to achieve, I may be able to help you better.

Plant and Storage Location determination at Item level during Copy control

Hello Freinds,
We are experiencing issues within Sales Order creation when the line item is referencing a contract. The plant and storage location is being determined from the contract - this should not be done, we have an enhancement in place for sales order plant/storage location determination which is how these values should be determined.
Kindly suggest, if it can be achieved through configuration setting at Copy control level, to avoid the Plant and Storage location determination from Contract in to Sales Order.
Thanks,
Anup Bansal

Hello
You can mention the additional logic of redetermining Plant and storage location whenever copied from contract.
In a sale order, i think you are maintaining a enhancement in prog MV45AFZB & user exit userexit_source_determination.
YOu can maintain the coding at same place.
thank you

Check your entries in following options in SPRO path:
IMG - MM - Purchasing - Purchase Order - Set Up Stock Transport Order - Setup Stock Transfer b/w Storage Location - Setup Storage-Location-Specific Shipping Point Determination
Option 1: Define Rule for Determination of Shipping Point
Option 2: Assign Shipping Points According to Storage Location (this should be there, if in Option 1 Determin. Rule; Shipping Point is L: Storage-Location-Specific Shipping Point )

During MRP run unwanted plant and storage location include and exclude

Hi There,
During MRP run how to include and exclude the unwanted plant and storage location pls let me know the required configuration settings.
Thanks in advance.

HI,
To control whether a particular storage location will be included or excluded from the MRP run. (MD02/MD41).
To exclude it from MRP run :-
OMIR - Define storage location MRP per plant
Put the MRP ind. as.         1 - storage location stock excluded for MRP
To include it from MRP run:-
OMIR - Define storage location MRP per plant
Put the MRP ind. as.      space - storage location stock also planned at plant level and save it
Next go to transaction MM01 - tick only view MRP 2
Key in Plant and Storage Location
Look at the Storage Location MRP section
change the SLoc MRP indicator to space and save it
MMD1 - Create MRP Profile - MRP profile is a useful entry aid and makes it easier to manage MRP data.
You define which fields are filled with values when MRP data is entered in the material master record, which of these values can be overwritten and which not.   You use the information stored in a profile is standard information that is needed again and again in similar constellations when material master records are maintained.

Material transfers between plants and storage locations report

Hello experts.
I´m looking for some help.
Actually i am looking for a report that show information about material transfers between plants and storage locations. Is there any report that shows the source of the material (plant, storage location) and also shows the target (plant, storage location).
Thanks for your help.

Hi,
Though you may not get report for the same , but you can narrow down the check by using the table MSEG or MB51 using the moment types like 311 643 (sd delivery moments )which are for stock transfers .
or if you want storage location stock many reports are available like MMBE, or MB53 etc.

Default Plant and storage location for components in MFBF

Hi,
I have 2 plants 1000-procurement plant and 2000- production plant. I am using special procurement key 70( Withdrawal from alternative plant from 1000 to 2000) for components in Plant 2000. The requirements for the components are transferred from 2000 plant to 1000 plant. The 1000 plant run MRP for the dependent requirements and procure the materials and transferred to the production storage location in Plant 2000.The raw materials are purchased in plant 1000 and transferred to Plant 2000 production storage location based on the manual reservations created with movement type 301. This is fine.
But when I do backflush in MFBF the plant and storage location for the components issue are displayed as plant 1000 which is the procurement plant and the production storage location in plant 2000-production plant location. In the BOM the production storage location is production storage location of plant 2000. Since we use the special procurement key system defaults the plant as 1000(procurement plant) insteadd of 2000(production plant). can we make this plant default to the production plant 2000 as default in the MFBF goods issue screen.
thanks and regards
Murugesan

Hi MURUGESAN !
      Can you give me some information more in Special Procument Configure in plant 2000 like:
          - Procurement type (maybe F)
          - Special procurement (Maybe U)
          - Plant (Maybe 1000).
          - Issuing plant (maybe 2000)
       We will check together.
       Regards,

Unable to set plant and storage location in Batch as required/mandatory

Hi Experts,
I am having a problem regarding field controls.
I would like to make plant and storage location as mandatory/required in MSC1N,MSC2N,MSC3N and MSC4N.
I have follow the path below
SPRO-logistics-general-batch management-bath master-field selection batch master-assign field to field groups
What i can see is field groups are being assigned to field name.
My question is, where do we go to to set the field group?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Dex,
You have gone to the right location.
On 'change view field control for batch master record' against each transaction like MSC1, MSC2,MSC3 and MSC4 there are number of dots '............'.
Double click on each dot against the transaction you want to modify. Each dot corresponds to different fields. Over here you can specify wheter you want to make the field required, optional etc.
Hope this helps.

Creating material in multiple plants and storage locations

Hi Gurus,
I am wondering if someone could help me out in this issue,
I frequently get 1's and 2 materials creation requirement , is there any simple way , while creating material in MM01 , I could create/extend to all plants and storage locations.
I know we can use LSMW , but this is not bulk requirement,it is frequent but in 1or 2 nos.
Any help highly appriciated and rewared.
Thanks.

Hi,
To my knowledge I doubt if both MM17 & MM50 can meet your need, as MM17 is to mass change the values already existing in the MMR, while MM50 is to extend the views in a given plant & not to extend across plants.
A suggestion would be to use the BAPI's -
BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA Create and Change Material Master Data
BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEREPLICA BAPI for Mass Maintenance of Material Data
Give your requirement to your abaper & inform him / her to use the above BAPI's. I am sure your abaper can write a simple & user friendly program to meet your exact need.

You have created PO for ONE plant only, but one plant have multiple storage location and also created PO to multiple storage location in one purchase order based on authorization.
Plant and storage location control through authorization of create,edit/change,display,print of PO.
Hope, it is useful for you.

Search shopping cart by plant and storage location?

Hi,
is there any standard report or anyway to search the shopping cart based on the plant and storage location..
please let me know..
thanks

Hi ,
Not directly as Yann says.
But indirectly
from SRM org structure -> ex attribute -> location
go to yr desired plant
get all the employees assigned to this plant
In admin log in -> monitor shopping carts
use these employees as requestors
and search
let us know if it suits your need
