Problem in material determination

Dear SAP Expert,
We have a manual material determination procedure in sales, when we create sales order with reference to contract system show a list of materials than we choose material from the display list and save the order.
recently we created new material code which needs to be added in material determination list but i m not getting the tcode where this new material code will be added with the existing one.
can u please advise how to add new material code in existing manual material determination list so tht we can sale our new material.
warm regards
parul

To maintain material determination - go to T-code - VB11
Select Material Determination Type (standard is - A001)
Enter the Old and New materials.
Thanks

BOM+Free Goods+Material Determination

Hi,
My company want to give free goods in Bill of materials.But system is not accepting that.How can we do that?
I am getting the same problem with Material Determination and Free Goods combination.When i configure material determination for a material which is having free goods system is not showing...any idea?
Points for sure.

Hi,
The constraints for free goods in SAP are as follow
Constraints
Free goods is currently only supported on a 1:1 basis. This means that an order item can only be
the source of one free goods item. This means that agreements involving relationships such as
'Buy material 1 and get material 2 and material 3 free of charge' or 'Order material 1 and material
2 together and get material 3 free of charge' are not supported.
Free goods is not currently supported in combination with material structures (e.g. product
selection, bills of material, variants with BOM explosion).
Free goods is currently only supported for sales orders with document category C (not for
quotations, for example).
Free goods is not currently supported for deliveries without reference to a sales order.
Free goods is not currently supported for make-to-order production, third-party order processing
and scheduling agreements.
Hope it helps you.

Free goods determination from material determination.

Hi experts,
I have one issue for you,
My scenario is:
we issue freee goods 1:1. i configured free goods setting and maintained VBN1 (condition records for free goods). i even maintained material determination configuration settings and maintained VB11 (condition records for material determination). The problem is system proposing free goods automatically when i process sales order without material determination list, if i go through material determination list system not determining free goods nor giving any message. what is the system behaviour if we go through material sustitution list to free goods. the main item (for free goods)will be existed in the substitutiion list. plez help. any suggestion will be highly appreciated.
thanks,
sada

Hi
Please consider the two issues separately. Don't club both the issues. If you have records for both material determination and free goods.,
1. Whether the material substitution is happening perfectly (as per the records created in VB11) or not.
Next.,
2. check whether the free goods are determined for the material in the sales order line item (as per the records created in VBN1) or not.
Please check and post the result.
Sometimes the freegoods will be determined in the sales order but will not create any second line item(as sub item) because while creating the records in VBN1 if you select the option 'Free goods Inclusive without line item generation. In this case NRAB condition type will be determined instead of R100.
So, also check the conditions tab and see whether the entire quantity is priced or not.
Thanks,
Ravi

Shipping point was not determine in the order with material determination.

Hi,
I´m using material determination for my sales order, and i need to determine the Shipping point with storage location configuration. So when I add the material number, the quantity and the storage location the material determination runs and in the second line determined the shipping point it is not filled. Any body knows how can I fix this problem?
Best Regards

Hi
The shipping point will be determined on the basis of shipping condition, loading group and the delivering plant.
The storage location dependent shipping point determination is used only in delivery documents and not in sales orders (Assign Shipping Points According to Storage Location).
To activate this you must first Define Rule for Determination of Shipping Point, wherein you can assign the rule to the delivery document only and not to the sales order.
If you say that you are getting the shipping point determined based on the number of the material, the quantity and the storage location entered(though it is not) then here note that you are entering the storage location only to the material entered and not to the material determined. When the system determine the alternate material then the shipping point will be determined on the basis of shipping condition, loading group and the delivering plant as per SAP standard process.
Try by entering the storage location to the material determined and check whether you can get the shipping point or not and let the forum know the result.
Hope this helps you.

Material Determination in Sales Order BOM

Dear Gurus,
We would appreciate any solutions and/or suggestions you can provide for our problem below:
Background:
Part XYZ is a sales BOM which contains 3 components: A, B, and C. Component B has a material determination (product substitution/interchange) with material B1, B2 or B3.
Requirement:
When a customer orders part XYZ, and if component/material B is not available in stock/shortage, then any or all of the product interchanges may be used to fulfill the order until the full order quantity is confirmed.
Problem:
We are able to explode the BOM to its components but unable to generate the product interchanges for component B in the sales order.
Could you please help? Thank you very much.
Best regards,

Issue in Material Determination and Delivery Block

Hi,
I have an issue while changing a Sale Order. When I clear a particular block in VA02, the manual pricing conditions that were entered in VA01 are deleted and document becomes incomplete again. This happens only to the child material in a material determination scenario. This happens only for that particular block and that too only when I clear the block. If I change the block, there is no such problem. What I would like to know is,
1. Can this error be trigerred from a configuration/setting?
2. Or is there no such possibility of such error happening that it has to be from some user exit?
I tried manually overriding the error, but it didn't work out.
Kindly help me in this issue.
Thanks in advance,

Material determination with Product selection

Hi SAP Gurus
We are using material determination with product selection. The process is that customer will send in one product in a sales order. At the time of doing ATP we have to look for about three or four possible alternatives and confirm that alternative which has the highest stock level depending on the ATP situation. We have configured material determination with SAP standard substitution reason0006 to take care of this. The problem with this is that this creates two line items in sales order as the item substituted is shown as a sub-item of the material entered. We do not want to have two line items in a sales order for this. Is there a way we can do material determination with product selection (Based on ATP) and have the item substituted replace the item entered in a sales order? In other words we do not want to see two line items in a sales order. The substitute item should simply replace the original item and the material entered could be stored in field VBAP-MATWA. I have gone through all the standard SAP documentation which clearly states that in order to material determination based on ATP we have to use outcome A or B both of which create a sub-item.
I was wondering if there is any workaround or if there is any user exit in which we can replace the original item with the substituted item?? Any help or any direction will be highly appreciated.
Another question is if we were to use APO for doing global/Rule based ATP is it possible to get rid of the double line items. We have also tried to use rule based ATP in APO and use product/location substitution in our sandbox system to see if we can get back only one line item. But even in that case we do get a sub item. Any help on this issue will be greatly appreciated. You can also send me an e-mail at [email protected]
Thanks

In the substitution reasons ...mark the OUTCOME as blank for this particular 0006. I am not sure for ATP

Problem in material superstation

HI all

Plz Help me it urgent

Hi,
If u define your condition type is manual and if you do any changes in quantity of order in change mode then manual condition will not be determined automatically. Again u have to enter it manually and then save it in change mode itself..

Thanks for the response. I wrote the BDC.

Problem in Material replications

Hi friends,
I am having a problem on Material replication from R/3 to EBP. I had configured all the required settings in EBP as well as in R/3. Whenever we are starting initial loading R3AS I am getting outbound queues in EBP instead of R/3. I am getting the error like 'The current application triggered a termination'. I could able to replicate Vendor and Locations from R/3 to EBP. If anybody can solve this problem.
Thanx in advance.
SAIRAM.ALLU

Hi,
If u define your condition type is manual and if you do any changes in quantity of order in change mode then manual condition will not be determined automatically. Again u have to enter it manually and then save it in change mode itself..

Material Determination during order change

Hi,
There is a requirement to trigger Material Determination when a flag gets set on the sales order line item (VBPA). Basically if the flag value on the sales order line item changes via BAPI or VA02 then the material A needs to be swapped with material B. I know that material determination works at the time of order creation or at the time of addition of a line item to an order, does anyone have any experience with this kind of a requirement of material determination trigger during VA02, please share it.
I have been trying to figure out program MV45AFZZ to look for a user exit but not been able to figure out as yet. I also feel that FM PRODUCT_SUBSTITUTION will need to called through one of these user exits, its just which user exit?

Well I had got a solution to this problem and happened to login today so posting it now:
We can make the change in MV45AFIZZ which is screen exit. Flip the material here and everything else gets re-determined.

Material determination with outcome B

Hi all,
We are using material determination functionality. Automatic reason with Outcome B. As per SAP help, the Material is determined at SO level and it is copied over to DO . No availability check in DO and material is not redetermined at DO.This is exactly I am trying to achieve so using outcome B is used. But when I create DO, only the higher level item is getting copied and also with Zero quantity. So I can not proceed with DO. Has anyone come across this problem before? What is the copy control I need to maintain if I am using outcome B
Please help.
Regards,
Beena

Hi,
In a delivery referring to an order, material determination is carried out subject to the sales document type on which it is based. Material determination in a delivery is carried out for new items if material determination has been activated for the underlying sales document type. No material determination is carried out for items copied from the order. You have to assign an appropriate material determination procedure (in the standard R/3 system, it is A00001) to the Sales document type DL so that material determination can be carried out in deliveries without reference to an order (LO).
reward if its useful.

Problem with Materialized Views after an export

Hi @ everybody,
At an Oracle 11g R2 (11.2.0.3.0) instance, all actual CPU's/SPU's are installed, on a Red Hat 6 Machine i have a problem with Materialized Views from a schema, which i have exportet from an old database machine on Oracle 10g (10.2.0.1.0) to the new machine.
I've exportet with the old exp and imported with imp, because i know, that i get some strange errors because of the materialized views when i'm using the new expdp and impdp tools.
At the old machine the materialized views are so programmed, that they get an update of data at a defined time like this:
START WITH TRUNC(SYSDATE) + 21/24
      NEXT SYSDATE+1
...But after the export this "update function" of the materialized view is not available. So i have deleted that views and recreated them with the START WITH parameters. So now they are running.
But why do i have this problem?
Is this "START WITH" somewhere written as a job or so in, for example, DBMS_SCHEDULER or something else? So i had forgotten to export these jobs or where is that defined?
Is this a bug?
Thanks for answers and help!
Best regards,
David

I can't remember the error of expdp/impdp. That is some days ago, i have to rebuild this.
I think in my scenario for the import i don't need the TABLE_EXISTS_ACTION, because by importing at the new server i've just createt the naked tablespace for the data and the users, not more. So he didn't has something to overwrite.
And i have to tell you: i'm just the dbA. The desining of the tables and materialized views is many years ago by installing the old server. I'm just to young in my company to know about the design of the instance and why it was designed so.
Anyway: my problem is, that after the import of the schemas to a new server the "START WITH" option in the materialized views is not there anymore and i just want to why so i can think about a solution for that and create it with the database designers of my company.

)The own differences i can see is at the "header". In the new one is the NOCOMPRESS LOGGING Option and in the first line the code has the columns diretcly defined.
But, i think, for my problem this line is determining:
REFRESH COMPLETE ON DEMAND START WITH sysdate+0 NEXT SYSDATE+1And this line is the same at both server.

Material Determination Eff Dates

As I look into using material determination, it looks to me as though the effective (validity) dates are at the table header level, not at the individual condition record level. Is this true? Is there any way to allow the validity dates at the condition record level like in pricing?

Dear Deva,
Please make use of the configuration guide/implementation guide in spro for every link and try to configure things by yourself. If you have any problems, then only raise it as an issue here. Else please get a copy of the SD book written by Glynn C Williams, which has the solution to almost all of your questions.
