Problem during material variant creation

Hi Guys,
I am trying to create material variant in MM01. I entered configurable material let's say DESKTOP. nOw i have partial variant scenario so instead of entering all 30 characteristics i need to enter only 3 characteristics.These 3 charcteristics based on which partial matching will happen in sale document.
My requirement is as out of 30 , TEN chars. are maintained as required entry. So system is asking me to enter all 10 required chars. in material master which my scnario don't want.But the same is required in Sales document.
How to remove this required entry in case of  material master creation and keep required entry in sales order or quotation?

Hi,
You can decide whether it is mandatory to assign a value to a characteristic on the basis of transaction code.
You must use [selection condition|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60/helpdata/en/92/58d455417011d189ec0000e81ddfac/frameset.htm] which calls the [user-defined function|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60/helpdata/en/92/58d455417011d189ec0000e81ddfac/frameset.htm]. In function you need to analyze sy-tcode and raise the predefined exception FAIL for those when you don't want to assign a value to a characteristic (e.g. mm01, mm02). Contact your ABAP team to create such a function.
Don't tick the characteristic as required entry in class definition but assign this selection condition to this characteristic in class.

Alexander

  • Default material code during material master creation

    Dear All,
               While I am trying to create any material in MM01 screen , system automatically takes a material code .So I have to remove that code from there then put my desired material code and then proceed .
                I want to know why system takes that perticular  code during material code creation .I want to remove it permanently .
                Please suggest what I have to do ?
    Regards

    Dear Abhijit,
    Material Number range & Internal or external number range setting is done in SPRO under
    Logistic General>material master>basic setting>material type>Define number range for a perticular material type.
    Now if u want to have your own desired code go on above path,Select your material type & tick for external number range & give range of external number( interval).
    This will solve your problem,

  • Automated Material Variant Creation

    Is there an automated way to create material variants once a configuration is entered on a sales order, if one does not already exist?
    Take an example, I have configurable material ComputerA which is a laptop computer. Say there are two possible configurations, 2GB of memory or 4GB of memory. Let's say that I have a material variant already for the 2GB configuration, and say that I called it ComputerA_2GB. If I were to create a sales order for ComputerA and configure it with 2GB of memory, then I could have my item category set to swap in the the material variant ComputerA_2GB automatically.
    Now assume that I create an order for ComputerA but configure it with 4GB of memory. I have not previously created a material variant for this. Is there a way to have ECC dynamically create that material variant and swap it into my line? So the process would be: create line item for configured material, if material variant exists, swap in, if material variant does not exist, create the material master for the variant and then swap that material in. Is there any way to do this without custom code?

  • Problem during automatic PO creation

    Hi,
                I have run MRP for a certain material using MD03 .Message shows MRP run successfully.Then I checked the status of this by using transactions MD04 and it shows the PR no for that material.But when I want to create automatic PO through ME59n using that PR no , message shows no suitable PR exist.I have also set the Automatic PO indicator in Material master Purchasing view.
                 What is the reason behimd it.

    Hi,
    For automatic PO creation follow the below points.
    1) Material Master purchasing view tick automatic PO check box
    2) Vendor Master purchasing view tick automatic PO check box.
    3) Maintain Source list for Vendor & Material.
    4) Maintain Purchase Info Record.
    5) Create a Purchase Requisition.
    6) Use T.Code: ME59N & execute for PR for vendor, you will be able to create automatic PO.
    Ensure that Purchase Info Record should be there.
    If you have more than one vendor then fixe only one vendor in source list.
    Did you set source determination during PR creation

  • Problem during Auto PO Creation

    Hi
       Im using a user exit for Auto PO functinality ..
       I have following conditions for creation of Auto PO
       1) For PR with source of supply as Info record will not be converted in PO automatiocally as Info record contains historical prices..
       PR can be assigned source from Source list, contract or quota arrangment for converting it in PO automatically.
        I have maintained all settings require din VM and MM for Auto PO creation..
       Still these PR which satisfies above criterion are not converted in PO automatically..
       when i tried to convert these PR in PO using me21n , i get the message as conditions not mainined so i have to maintain conditions and net price manually..
    then PO can be created manually..
      so what im missing for Auto PO functionality..
    Thanks..

    Hi,
    I would recommend that you add your contract data to the source list for the material, then you will see it proposed as a possible source for this material.
    The problem with source lists are that if you do not have one the system will propose all existing sources for you to choose from. If you DO have a source list the system will ONLY propose sources from that source list.
    One option is to use the auto generation transaction ME05 as a regular batch job to keep the sources up to date.
    But if you want the outline agreement to be the proposed source when there are others to choose from then select this as the default in the source list.
    So I think that your problem is that your agreements are not in the source lists that you have.

  • Bydefault selection of profit centers during material master creation.

    Dear SAP Experts,
    My business wants that when ever they want to create a new material the profit center field should come bydefault after the selection of the plant.
    Each plant has been associated with a profit center.
    Is it possible , If yes then How.
    Please guide me.
    Regards
    Debjeet Banerjee

    There is no direct link of profit center and plant , the profit center is linked with plant via material master.So you cannot default the profit center when you select the plant while creating the MMR.
    Better try with any custom table were you can make this link and default it while creation of material master.

  • Automatic activation of batch during material master creation

    Dear All
    Is it possible to activate batch management in material master while creation. This is required for specific material type and field MARA-XCHPF should be set automatically.
    Thanks in advance
    Regards

    Dear,
    In OMS9 field for batch management MARC-XCHPF
    first check which field selection key is assigned to your material type in the filed slection group 212 (OMSR) there is field called MARA-XCHPF, and MARC-XCHPF.
    couble click on these fields and there is an indicator " prapose field content" , you need to select that indicator.

  • Problem in Material master creation

    when iam creating material master, in sales view1 maintained Tax claassification. After saving the master record the Tax classification is disappearing.
    could any one know the solution? please help me.

    Hi Preveen,
    Use the following path in Customizing for Sales:                            
        -> Functions -> Taxes -> Tax by country                                     
    If sequence value 0 is defined for a country, change it to 1.               
    If other tax categories are defined for the same country, increase the sequence value for all tax categories of this country by 1.             
    Important: If materials exist for which tax data has already been  maintained in the country in question, this tax data must be  checked and, where necessary, modified using the "Change material" function.  (Note that tax data is saved in table                MLAN for each material and country.)

  • Problem during Process Order creation

    Hi,
    I have problem while creating Process Order.
    I have maintained all the basic data required to create the process order.
    When I Release the order, I am able to create the control recipe also, but PI sheet is not generated along with it. System gives the message "No PI maintained in customising for CRD for which control recipe is to be generated "
    If I maintain the same, then system is unable to create the control recipe.
    What may be the problem here? What i can do to rectify this situation?
    Pavan

    Hi Pavan,
    1. Maintain PI in SPRO of process management
    2. Assign this PI to one of phse in master recipe
    3. Plz check wheather ur created Control receipe destination or not.
    4. if not then maitain the same in Spro.
    5.Check the ordre type dependent parameter i.e COR4 from SPRO
    see the Control recipe gerated in REL phse else maintai the asme in production scheduling profile.
    if possible plz send the sctren shot fir the same to

  • CJ20N-Reservation no. to be passed to PR during material component creation

    Hi,
    In CJ20N when the user creates a material component, PR is created automatically. In this PR, the Reservation no. should also be passed.
    I tried using enhancement COZF0002 and passed the reservation no. as under:
    EBAN_IMP-rsnum = RESBD_IMP-rsnum.
    But while saving the project, the Reservation no. is not getting stored in the PR.
    Can anybody tell me how can I pass the reservation no. to PR?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Material Variant Matching in Sales Order Creation with ref.to Sales Order

    Hi All,
    We are working in Variant configuration.Our product is defined at PQD(Product, Quality & Dimension).
    But, Sales Contracts are created at PQ (Product, Quality/Grade ) level only.
    We have defined Variant Characteristics GRADE(ALLOY CODE),DIMENSION AND TWO MATERIALS.
    MAT 1 , configurable material.
    MAT 2, A Material Variant of MAT 1, Having values of GRADE = A & DIMENSION = 150 in MRP 3 view of the same.
    When a Sales Order is created for MAT 1  and its characteristics values are GRADE = A, DIMENSION = 150, Material Variant type matching happens & it replaces the configurable material.
    Similarly,Sales  Contract is created for Configurable material MAT 1, with only GRADE = A ( As mentioned above, only quality is known at contract creation level).But, when we are trying to creart a Sales Order with reference to this Contract, we are trying to punch characteristic Value for DIMENSION = 150 also. At this stage, Materuial Variant MAT 2 is shown, but it is not replacing MAT 1.
    Is this the standard behaviour or there is some solution/enhancement available.
    regards,
    Stuti

    Dear Vijay,
    in incompletion procedure we can arrange to check whether any field is empty, here data comparison is not possible.
    As far as I know you can not achieve this through standard config.
    To achieve your requirement, you will need to take help of an ABAPer, it can be achieved using Userexit.
    ABAPer can use include MV45AFZZ
    and Userexit ""USEREXIT_SAVE_DOCUMENT".
    the code written in this userexit will check and compare the quantities before saving the dcument.
    Logic if quantity enter is greater than the quantity mentioned in Contract show warning Message.
    I hope this solves your Problem.
