Product hierarchy for indirect material?

How do we maintain prodh for indirect material?
for maintaining indirect materials master which of the following attributes are important to be considered
Material Numbering
Unit of Measure
Material Type
Product Hierarchy
Valuation Class
Material Status
Country of Origin
Conflict Minerals
Material Group

Indirect material is a consumable material. Its used with direct material for procurement.
Usually this material are non stock materials and it consumed immediately when you will do goods receipt.
And for attributes, its depend on your business process. You can maintain all these above as per your requirement.
But some are necessary to create a material master record like as
Material Numbering
Unit of Measure
Material Type
Valuation Class

  • Error :Check product hierarchy for uniqueness

    Dear all ,

    Hi Purshottam,
    Check the technical names of the hierarchy nodes. They should not be same.
    This issue is faced when technical names of the hierarchy nodes are same.
    To solve this issue, modify the technical names of your hierarchy nodes and then try loading the hierarchy.

  • Good receipt for indirect material using MIGO

    Hi all, our company has a trouble in receiving PO for indirect material.
    We would use the MIGO transaction for these order but withouth having an inventory movements (since they are indirect material)
    I don't know how normally these PO are managed, if we're using a wrong process or we need a customization of the normal procedure.
    thanks in advance for any help

    If you want to track Inventory then you need the material code & Quantity updating to be managed for those material type in OMS2 , If you are doing purchase without any Material code & against the cost center then those items directly get consumed after GRN, So now you have to decide which process you want to follow , Normally both are Standard Process.

  • Product hierarchy in the material master record

    Hi,
    I am handig Data migration project.
    This is related to Product Hirerarchy.
    I one business Product Hirerarchy have been configured. But in another buisiness, Product Hirerarchy has not been configured.
    There are some common materials using by both business processes.
    For coomon mateials  if I am maintaining Product Hirerarchy value in the material master record, is there any impact on business which is not being used Product Hirerarchy. Whether it will stop / impact on business processes.
    Can you explain plz
    Thanks in advance

    Hi karthink,
    Thanks for your inputs.
    we are meging two servers. In that in one server, product highrechy have been configuredand in another server not configured.
    There are some materials with the numbers calling as a common parts exists in both servers.
    ex: plat 0001 in one server 1         &          plant 0002 in server2
    Common part is : m1
    plant 0001  not using product hierarchy and plant 0002 not using product hierarchy,.
    After golive, all the common parts are being used by both plants and same basic data 1 view.
    If we are maintaing product hierarchy in the basic data 1 view, it will flow into sales view as well.
    Then what about impact on the plant 0001 business since it is not using product hierarchy.
    In the configuration, is there any settings to activate / deactive product hierarchy at sales area level.
    Is there any impact on MM / FICO side.
    Please explain.
    THANKS IN ADVANCE.

  • Production Order for a Material with two units of measure?

    Hi Everybody I have the following issue.
    In my company there is a new production process with a Material that should be configured in the master data with the field "Base Unit of Measure" as per unit (each). But the production process, should be confirmed by tx CO11N, in Kilograms. I know that I can use the additional Data in tx MM03 to set a Production Unit, but the value of convertion would be fixed. For example 122 Kg = 1 each, the thing is that the value in kilograms for each lot can vary, one lot can weight 122 and another one can weghr 125, and in each case I shoul have two units in stock. And as I have the value of convertion fixed, when I confirm each lot one for 122 kg and another for 125 kg I will have 2.025 units in MB52.
    How can I solve this problems? I need to have the chance the confirm in kg changing for each lote the quantity but in the base Unit of Measure have one unit for lot. As if for tx CO11N I could have a field where I can set tha x quantity of Kilograms is x each.
    Kind regards
    Leandro. 

    Hi Ayoub, First thank`s for your promt answer,
    1. The Quantity is different, because is not a perfect process, there is a manual work in the process that makes this quantity differ, there is no big difference, maybe a Kilo or Two but the production mannager wants to have this registered. And besides in productions they manage kilograms, but for selling the comercials manage units (each - EA)
    2.The convertion rate is known at the end of the process after cutting and packaging a unit, they weight it.
    Regards

  • Error while converting planned order to production order for config materia

    Hi experts,
    While converting a planned order to production order for a configurable material.I am getting the following error meassage. Message No.CO684,
    "You cannot make an assignment to make-to-order stock"
    ( DiagnosisThe component cannot be allocated to an individual stock because make-to-order production and engineer-to-order production cannot be executed with this order.
    A possible cause is that you are trying to create an order with reference to a sales-order/project, where an account assignment to a sales order/project is not allowed in the settlement profile that is assigned to the chosen order type. This is inconsistant.
    System ResponseThe following responses are possible:
    Order processing is cancelled.
    The system resets the special stock indicator back to the original value.
    Procedure
    Choose another order type).
    I have checked some of the threads related to this error. But no where there is any solution.Please tell me if there is any settings to make so as to work on this scenario.
    Thanks,
    Sham

    Hi,
    This will be a MTO scenario. Please check your requirement type,Requirement class and strategy type config along with your Item category and schedule line category from SD.
    Also check your Production order type config and settlement profiles.
    I mean to say that you need new production order type to be configured for specific above mentioned combination.
    Are you working on a production system..?? is it the first time you are creating the order for this config material..??

  • Creation of Production Order for Deleted Material

    How can I prevent a production order from being created for a material that has been marked for deletion?  Currently, our system generates a warning but allows the order to be created.

    Thanks for the suggestion of the material status but I am trying to stay away from assigning a code to a delete flagged material.
    The message I am getting is CO732.  I went into transaction OPJB to change the message from warning to error but that message is not listed in that transaction.  I tried adding it and still received a warning message.
    Is there another transaction to check so I can switch it?

  • Is production order for one material only?

    Hello
    Is it true that one material can be specified in production order as the output (material to be produced)?
    and what is combined order? why the output material in combined order can be different from output materials in subordinate orders?
    Thanks

    Dear,
    In Combination order you can combine the serval planned, production order to one new combine order. This functionality is available in IS mill.

    example
    Material A - Production Hierarchy is 0001
    Material B - Production Hierarchy is 0002
    i managed to create all process in MM. the problem is the production hierarchy not updating in COPA site. when can be wrong ? any config missing ? or COPA just for SD site ?

    There is no direct link between MM and COPA , the values to COPA will be coming from SD condition types . The problem may be between MM ans SD

  • Error in GR for a Production Order for a particular material....Unique case

    Hi Dear Gurus,
    I am facing the following problem:
    There is a production order for a material (say X, matrl type FERT) of order qty 21EA. First we did GR of qty 9EA. but when we are going to do GR for the rest of the qty i.e.12EA it is not happening system showing Error message " Account XXXXX requires an assignment to a CO object".
    But while we are going to do GR for the rest 12Ea qty in two parts i.e. first by doing GR of 11EA then 1EA system is accepting.
    Interestingly if do the GR for the same order as first by 8EA and then the rest 13EA that is also accepting.
    Eventhough, for any other material (of same type and group) if we make a production order of the same 21EA and then doing GR firstly by 9Ea and then 12EA that is also getting posted properly.
    What would be the reason for the error message for that particular case?
    Here the system is SAP4.5B version, material MRP type is M0, lot size  FX & fixed lot size 10Ea, safety stock 8EA, Reorder point 15.
    Thanks in advance for your inputs.

  • Shopping Cart Creation for Stock Material

    Hi,
       I'm implementing a project that i must create SC from an external ECC system. When I try to create the SC the system sends me the message below. There's a way to create the SC from this external system for Stock Material?
    "Purchase of product 0000000000000000000000000000000030238225 is not permitted in the backend"
    We're using the Classic Scenario.
    Thanks and best regards,
    Alexandre.

    Hi Muthuraman,
    Thanks for your answer, I've look for the nots that you've sent me but it's a quite different what I need. I've been searching on the forum for something that can hep me and actually there's a older question that you help a person with something similar.
    Here is the question and your answer. I've tried to follow the instructions but those Functions didn't stop when I execute the 'BBP_PD_SC_CREATE_EXTERNAL' function.
    There's a way to clear the account assignment while creating the document on the  backend when  I'm using the function to create the SC?
    Thanks and Best Regards,
    Alexandre.
    Question:
    'In a SRM classic scenario it's possible to create a shoping cart for material stock or it's only possible to create for indirect material (center cost, order, etc).'
    Answer:
    'yes. Indeed you need enhancement
    http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/SRM/BBP_CREATE_BE_PO_NEW-CreatePOin+backend
    you need to clear the account assignment while creating a PO in the backend.
    so PO will be created in the backend rather than in SRM .
    but see impacts - how inventory gl accounts are posted while doing good receipt. Is it taking GL account from valuation class .
    Hide the Order as direct too in SRM .
    create one custome field in shopping cart to determine to order a PO in the backend (for stock materials) so when you check this field, this sc item PO will be created without account assignment.

  • Standard field to be used in place of Product Hierarchy

    HI,
    We are going to have a new material in our system but we do not want to create a new Product Hierarchy for that. Infact we want that if any new material is created, we need not creata any new product hierarchy for that.
    Please suggest what standard field can we use instead of Product Hierarchy without impacting the system .
    Thanks.
    Rudresh

    Hi Rudresh,
    Product Hierarchy is a informative field and can be used for reporting purpose. For a specified material type, if you dont want to maintain product hierarchy, make that field optional using OMS9.
