  • "Creation" of location product hierarchy

    Hi Experts
    I know that a location product hierarchy can be "generated" by combining a location hierarchy and a product hierarchy. But for our business requirement we cannot use a generated location product hierarchy. This is because we have 1000'ds of products and for each product the parent location -child locations can be different. That is for product A if parent is location L1 and children are L2 and L3 then for product B the parent can be L1 but the children can be different say L5 and L4. There can be 1000ds of location parent - children combinations like this  and it is impossible to model this using a location hierarchy.
    So i want to know if there is a way to directly create a location product hierarchy and manually add members to it. Please advise
    Thanks

    I have found another way to make it work. Iam going to try using the concept of planning product and check how it goes.

  • R/3 Product Hierarchy in BW data model.

    Hi all,
    We have been told by our implementation partner that the scenario described below is not feasible to design in our BW 3.5 system and if we were to implement this scenario there would be a significant amount of user maintenance to maintain the hierarchy structure in BW.
    I was a query user in previous BW versions and my datawarehouse modeling experience is mostly in Cognos and Business Objects. The scenario described below is very easily implemented in these other datawarehouse software packages and I would be suprised if SAP does not have a standard solution to address the problem.
    I would like to understand if:
    (1) Yes this solution can be easily implemented in BW 3.5
    (2) A brief explanation on the design approach, implementation, and considerations
    I am already familiar with the link on http://sap.help.com that explains BW hierarchy design and considerations, but I would like to get a "real world" understanding of an approach and design and if you experienced this requirement.
    Thank You in advance for your input.
    Regards,

    <b><u>Scenario:</u></b>
    In R/3 we have modified the standard delivered product hierarchy structure for material master from 5,5,8 to be 5,5,4,4.
    The 4 levels represent: BRAND --> PRODUCT LINE --> PRODUCT CATEGORY --> PRODUCT SUBCATEGORY
    Our intent is to use this structure to satisfy current BW reporting requirements for COPA and R/3 Billing infocubes.
    In BEx Explorer we would like to perform product analysis using the following dimension paths:
    BRAND --> PRODUCT LINE --> PRODUCT CATEGORY --> PRODUCT SUBCATEGORY
    PRODUCT LINE --> PRODUCT CATEGORY --> PRODUCT SUBCATEGORY
    PRODUCT CATEGORY --> PRODUCT SUBCATEGORY
    We are told that since we have multiple values at the BRAND node we will not be able to perform grouped reporting the starts at PRODUCT LINE node(which would be independent of the BRAND node). For example:
    BRAND,          PRODUCT LINE,          PRODUCT CATEGORY
    HONDA,          AUTOMOBILE,          CIVIC
    HONDA,          AUTOMOBILE,          ACCURA          
    HONDA,          BLOWER,                  CIVIC
    HONDA,          MOTORCYCLE,          ODESSY
    FORD,          AUTOMOBILE,          EXPLORER          
    FORD,          BLOWER,                  EXPLORER          
    FORD,          MOTORCYCLE,          CHAMPION
    So for example we would like to start our dimensional anaylsis to show all AUTOMOBILE or BLOWER sales independent of the fact they were for HONDA or FORD.
    In other datawarehouse systems I have either: (1) created 3 dimensions called: BRAND, PRODUCT LINE, and PRODUCT CATEGORY or (2) created one dimension called BRAND with alternate dimension paths for PRODUCT LINE and PRODUCT CATEGORY. I am not sure if this is feasible in BW.
    We were also told in order to achieve this design a structure would have to be maintained in BW every time we introduce a new material master and the material master would need to be manually entered into the structure so that reporting can be achieved for both the standard structure and the alternate structure(s).<b></b>

    Antony ,
    there will be maintenance involved every time you add a material to the material master. However you could maintain the hierarchy through a GUI also depending on the number of values.
    Ideally if this can be maintained in a table in the source system , it can be imported into BW. Otherwise if you were to maintain it in BW , you will have a lot of problems when :
    1. Change in the hierarchy - A new Product Line coming in and many product category onwards change over to the new product line.
    2. Viewing the changed hierarchy over time - If you have GM and a separate category called Daewoo , earlier they were separate and now they are one - what are my product sales due to the merged entity vis-a-vis separate entities earlier...
    Things that you will need to consider from a design stand popint are :
    1. Should the hierarchy be time dependent ?
    2. Should it be maintained in the source system or in BW?
    3. Change process for the same - Flat file / Manual
    4. Estimate of how frequent the hierarchy would change?
    5. Will you have display hierarchies - Ad-Hoc hierarchies to view certain combinations?
    Depending on the above your hierarchy creation can go from easy to complex and hard to maintain.
    One way to amintain it is to have a SAP ABAP program to populate a hierarchy table to have the relations in R/3 and transfer them into BW. You could automate it in such a way that the hierarchy is changed every time there is a new material
    Otherwise , there can be a flat file to create the relationships
    Or someone could log a request and if the change is minimal it couldbe done thru a GUI Interface provided by BW.

  • Invoiced Quantity grouped by Product Hierarchy

    Hello,
    I am trying to create an Evaluation (tCode MC11) which will report on Invoiced Quantity grouped by Product Hierarchy. I created an evaluation referencing an evaluation structure which references two other eval. structures: one - for data tables VBRP and the  second for info. struct.S004. One of the characteristics is Product Hierarchy. The problem is, that when I execute the evaluation -  I only get 4th level of product hierarchy, but I need to see all four, starting with the first one.
    (I would like it to look like this:
    level 1
         level 2
              level 3
                    level 4

  • Error In Cost Center Hierarchy Creation

    Hi Guru's
    Error In Cost Center Hierarchy Creation
    Our Business scenario is we have controlling area 1000, under that we have cost center Group as ABC lower level to that  we create each business wise in lower level like 1100, 1200, 1300 under this we create 110010 for production  110020 employee 110030 dummy so on, by mistake the client has created  1400 below level to 1000 now  all cost center amount is booked in this is reflecting in 1400 and as well in ABC now I need to move all 1400 cost centers below ABC please let me know how to go about this.
    Regards,
    Bhaskar

    Hi,
    So, if it's standard hierarchy go to OKEON and just drag-and-drop this group under ABC; simple as that. In KSH2 (if it's 'alternative' group) the technology of moving is different, but still quite obvious: select the group you want to move and select the new placement.

  • APO: RRP3 automate Production order creation from planned order ?

    Hi everyone ,
    I have got a business requirement in APO where in Open sale orders uploaded in R/3, needs to be converted to Planned order and subsequently to Production order in APO-PPDS tcode RRP3 at all stages. They want to automate this process rather than doing it
    manually.
    Can anyone tell how is this possible . Any BAPI or function module available to do this . Please help.
    Regards,
    Syed

    Hi,
    1.You need to run the heuristics Planning of standard lots SAP_PP_002  in /SAPAPO/CDPSB0 by specifying the time profile
       and  strategy profile, planning version and propagation range, product and location.
    2. Convert PPDS Planned Orders created to process orders thru /SAPAPO/RRP7 by specifying the product location start date of the order for production order creation.
    Out put of step 1- For sales order requirement, PPDS Planned orders gets created.
    Out put of step 2- PPDS Planned orders are converted to production orders.

  • Mass Update of Product hierarchy in all CRM Open Sales Orders

    Hi Folks,
    I have a requirement in my project wherein I have to update product hierarchy details with new values in all Items of CRM Open sales orders.
    If suppose I have a text file which has the details of Open Orders & new product hierarchy which i have to update, then would it be recommended if I use BDC for this task. Can I Call Transaction CRMD_ORDER?
    If someone has already gone through such requirement, Can you please suggest me how to proceed with this requirement. Using BDC or any other way which I can proceed with?
    Thanks in advance !!!
    Regards,
    Nitish.

    You are correct in indicating that Exchange rate type field  is not seen in Header data of sales order. I checked screen layouts for various screens for sales order data and this field is not suppressed. The only reason could be that this field is not used in sales order screens
    If you are interested, you could also check in the following way
    1.  Go to SE11, enter database table as VBAK
    2. Once inside data dictionary table, click where used list button, select programs and screens and execute
    3. click continue (don't select background)
    4. now you would have list of programs and screens, this table is used
    5.  now start another session and go to transaction SE51
    6. indicate program name as SAPMV45A and screen numbers as listed in step 4. you can check all screen numbers to see whether Exchange rate type field is listed in sales order layout.
    7. Of particular interest would be screen number 4311 as this contains  Financial accounting data & 4303 Billing data
    8. you can check screen layout for screen 4311 & 4303. you would see Exchange rate type field is not indicated.
    9. in case you could find this field in any screen, you could ask your ABAP consultant to add this field in the layout screen.
    Hope this answers your question

  • IDOC/BAPI for Production order creation from Legacy system

    Hi all
    We are using an interface to create Production orders from legacy to SAP. Would you recommend an IDOC or a BAPI to create Production orders. If IDOC or BAPI then could you please mention which one?
    thanks a bunch

    Hi John,
    For your purposes, please use BAPI for production order creation from legacy system. There is no standard inbound IDoc available to use. SAP has an IDoc for outbound interface only (message type LOIPRO).
    If there is an inbound IDoc available, I would recommend to use an IDoc.
    IDoc technology has excellent error handling and will allow you to reprocess an error (if any).
    BAPI is also good approach to use and fast in term of  processing.
    For BAPI approach, you can use BAPI BAPI_PRODORD_CREATE.
    Hope this will help.

  • Pricing issue with Product hierarchy - Urgent

    Hello,
    I have an issue on pricing determination with product hierarchy.
    I created product hierarchy as following,
    level1 - A0001
    level2 - A0001B0001
    level3 - A0001B0001C0001
    Then, assigned A0001B0001C0001 to material D in material master.
    I created condition record with A0001B0001C0001(level 3),  the system found the condition sucessfully when I created a sales order with material D.
    However, I created condition record with A0001(level1) but the system didn't get the price when I created the sales order with material D.  Since A0001B0001C0001 belongs to A0001, the system is supposed to get the price from the condition record with A0001... 
    Could you please let me know how to fix it?

    Hi,
    Thanks a lot for your kind explanation.
    Here is the access sequence I defined.  I wonder if there is anyway I can define PRODH1, PRODH2, PRODH3 in access sequnce the same way with customer hierarchy so that the system can check higher level data.  If it's not allowed, I think I should define routine in requirement as you advised.  Thanks!

  • Different product hierarchy in sales order and in service order

    Dear experts,
    In VA03, I notice that
    - under Line Item > Sales B, there is a field Product Hierarchy
    - under Line Item > Account assignment, there is a field Order. From here, it links to a service order. In the service order, I can see a field Product Hierarchy too.
    I would like to know if there is an implication when the field Product Hierarchy in sales order and in service order are different. Is it possible that this will cause an inconsistency?
    Usually these two fields have the same value, since the value in sales order is copied from service order. However, in my case, the product hierarchy is changed/updated in service order, but not in sales order.

    Hi,
    We have document pricing procedure maintained at two levels for Sales order or Billing type.
    The pricing procedure is determined based on SAles Area Customer pricing procedureDocument Pricing procedure+pricing procedure.
    Example :For Sales Document type the document pricing rpocedure will be A and for billing type 'B"
    Sales Area1A+Pricing procedure A
    Sales Area1B+Pricing procedure B
    Now A will be maintained in VOV8 and B will be maintained in VOFA.So two pricing procedures.

  • Selection Of BOM & Routing at the time of production order creation

    Hi guys,
    Please clarify how i can go about for the following mentioned scenario
    I have one Master BOM(Finished Product Level) & alternative BOMs for that,similarly i have one Master Routing & alternate routings for the same finished product
    At the time of production order creation is it possible for me to choose one of the BOMs & One of the routings of that particular finished product without creating a production version?
    Awaiting for a quick response
    Vijai

    Hi vijai prasad shanmugam ,
                                              In the material master MRP-4 view under the BOM selection you can maintain on what fatcors you want the BOM to be selected  Viz. Selection by order quant.,Selection by explosion date.Selection by production version etc.
    As far as the master recipe is concerned ........ I guess that if there are more than one valid master recipe maintained then SAP will prompt to select the one manually.........
    But it the standard practice to maintain the production version ....... for the similar situation to the one that you have mentioned.
    Please Let me know if I can help you in any way regarding this........
    Please reward the points......... in you find the ans helpful.....
    Thanks

  • SQVI Report for SAP CRM Product Hierarchy and its Product

    Hi
    How to create a SQVI report for generating a list for SAP CRM Product Hierarchy which should show the outputs->Level 1, level 2, level 3 and level 4 categories and its products?
    I tried COMM_Hierarchy table and Comm_product but not able to achieve this requirement.
    or Is there any chance of getting related tables so that I could try more for this requirement.
    In which table both product id and its category Id can be found?
    Pravin

    Thanks DJ
    Is there any possibility to get a report for product hierarchy in SQVI ?
    say in SAP CRM system, the product category is maintained in COMM_HIERARCHY as
    Parent category Id->
                                    Level2 Category Id->
                                                                     Level 3 Category Id->                                                                               
    Level 4 category Id ->                                                                               
    Product Id's
    (I understood the link between Level 4 category id and product id with your info.) but not able to achieve the requirement fully.
    Is there any possiblity to achive for generateing a report?

  • Issue in Hierarchy data upload from R/3 for info object Product Hierarchy.

    Hi,
