Production Order without Material Number and linked to a PM Order...

Hi All,
Is it possible to create a Production Order without Material Number (because it is a "just one time" production), and link it to a PM Order (enterred by a sister Plant) in order to finally report the cost to that PM Order?
And if YES, how to do it???
Explanation of the problem (business scenario):
We have 2 Plants. Let say Plant "A" and Plant "B".
Plant B is producing spare parts for Plant A.
There are usual spare parts, which have a Material Number.
But there are also spare parts which will be produced only once, and which don't have a Material Number. (= because it is a very punctual production).
Plant A needs a punctual spare part.
It creates a PM Order for Plant B.
Plant B needs to create a Production Order for that spare part (without Material Number).
Then, when confirmed and delivered, the cost of that production needs to be reported (assigned) to the PM Order.
Thanks in advance for your help on the subject.
Regards,
Rudy.

Thank you for the information.
After some modifications on the Prod.Order Type and the creation of a Reference Operation Set, it seems to work.
Still have a cost problem, but on the way to be solved.
Thanks a lot,
Rudy.

Can we goods receipt without material number and without PO as consumption ?
I have case that no PO in SAP system (charge to cost center) but need to goods receipt in SAP system.
How should I do?
Thank you very much

Hi
Go to MB1C enter 561 movement type (initial posting ) .
Material number is must.
It will be against profit center as it is goods receipt and stock value will be credited to our a/c .
Thanks

GR for create the production order without material(co07)

Hi all,
I am creating the production order without material (T-Code :co07), After creating this order i want to get the Material from W/H and after dismantling how to do GR for this Prod.order, What is the Movement type to be used?Please advice me

Dear Kumar,
CO07 specially meant for Rework order (Production order
without material) or for dismantalling the Customer returns or
Inhouse rejected,for the components which re good to reuse
again,their quantity will be entered in -ve and so 531 movement
takes place.
On the other hand,if you want to use for rework purpose and
want to consume some components,using MB1A T code ,the
materials required are issued.
Already our Forum member(Krishnamohan) has given clearly in his first reply.

FM / BAPI Inbound delivery creation for a Purchase Order without material

Dear All,
I have a requirement to create a Inbound Delivery for a Purchase order without material number. The Purchase Order has only Material text and no material number. Please let me know a BAPI or FM to create inbound delivery in this case where there is no material defined on PO. I require BAPI / FM since I have to make a web-service for the same.
Thanks in advance!

Hi I did a coding in one of the userexit. If ekpo-matnr is empty then fill
KOMDLGN-UMVKZ = 1
KOMDLGN-UMVKN = 1
KOMDLGN-MEINS = EKPO-MEINS
This parameters i.e. Qty conversion are necessary and since MATNR does not exists it has to be filled.

Production order without material

I am using Production order without material and without sales order in CO07. I want to derive profit center for this production order. What is procedure to derive it?

Hi Mayuresh,
We can settle the order against cost objects, cost center, material, order item, order, sales document item, WBS element...
But Profit center is not a cost object so you can link the cost center in production order, Cost center can be linked with profit center so u can get the result in profit center also.
Regards,
S.Suresh.

CO and Process order without material using T. Code CORO

Hi
We need to use Process Order without material functionality for recording "changeover" time and cost (i.e. setting up process for production of other material in a production line).
For this purpose we have configured a separate process order type. We have created a separate activity for Changeover and planned rates using KP26.
Now we create Process Order without material using T. Code CORO and confirm it using COR6N. On confirmation system successfully credits Cost Center.
We need to know:
1) whether we should settle the process order as well or no need to assign settlement profile to Order Type
2) Or should we run Cost Estimate first.
Plz help, if any have idea

Thank you all for your valuable input.
Srinivasa, your suggestion is very good, especially when calculation of variances/WIP is required. But again as there is no cost relevant material where the WIP/Variances will be settled during settlement process?
1) PP need to create process order without material because changeover cost should not be charged to either material and capacity hours are consumed during changeover. 2) CO need to identify the cost of changeover which should be charged to cost center. So far we have achieved both of these two objectives by the following activities:
Creation of Process Order without material using CORO T.Code say 3 hours of changeover occurred we create order with quantity of 3 Hours. And confirmation of activities quantity 3 using COR6N so cost center is credited by 3 x rate per hour. As there is a separate Process Order type for Changeover we can identify changeover quantity and cost in a given period.
After contributors feedback in this thread I have come to conclusion that I don't need to assign Settlement Profile and PA Structure to Changeover Process Order type. So no need to run Process Order settlement. As there is no specific required for Changeover WIP/Variances as well.

Production Orders without material - component reservations in APO

Hi All,
We are using transaction CO07 to create a production order without material. We have four materials in the BOM for this production order. One is an input product and three are output products. My intention is to have the components on this BOM show up in APO as reservations or something else that will be considered in our planning.
At this point I am not able to see anything in APO system (e.g order reservations) like I would with a regular production order with material. Does anyone have any experience with this functionality or know if it is supported by SAP?
Thank you,
Paul

Hi Paul,
It is an interesting case, a don't know if you have solved it. Anyway, here is my suggestion -
1) If you want to see a reservation in APO for a component, you need to make sure that the header product exists in APO as well, and the production order for this header has also been CIFed over to APO. This is the first check.
2) If the first check is OK, then you should check that all the 3 header products exist in APO (In your case, you have 3 three header products). And then, the production order appears for all the 3 products in product view.
With the above checks, I am certain, you should see the reservation for the component, else it is an ieal OSS candidate.
Thanks,
Prashant Ghule

Profit center to be populated in Production order without material.

Hi,
I am creating Process order without material for my requirement and the settlement receiver of these order will be a cost center. Now my requirement is the Profit center assigned to the cost center is to be populated in the Profit center field (CAUFVD-PRCTR) in Assignment tab of the Process order when saving the order. Kindly tell me how to achieve the same.
Thanks & Regards,
Ravi Kumar C.

Dear R.Brahmankar,
The exit referred in the note will trigger while opening CORO itself. But my requirement is to trigger after entering the cost center in the settlement rule (Settlement receiver is manually entered before saving the order). After entering the cost center in the settlement rule system should populate the profit center. Is there anyway to achive the requirement.
Regards,
Ravi Kumar C.

Re: Creation of sales order without material master

Hi All,
Is it possible to create sales Order, without material master. In case if so please provide the details.

Hi,
It is possible to save order without any material.
But if you want to restrict it, go to VOV8 and select your Sales Document Type and see if any incompletion procedure is assigned.
Now go to SPRO - SD - BASIC FUNCTIONS - LOG OF INCOMPLETION ITEMS - SALES ORDER ITEM -
and for your incompletion procedure maintain VBAP under table and MATNR under field name. Also you can tick on warning message, if user now tries to save the order without any material.
So now you can restrict saving order without having any material.
I am sure this will help you, if it does, please dont forget to reward points for contribution.

Ravi

PO without material number

Hi All,
I want to understand one thing in procurement of an item without a material master record. When an item is purchased without a material master record using the material grp and account assignment in the PO does it make any difference to the inventory value/qty? If yes, where can i check it in the system?
Secondly can I buy services like this? Lets say I have material description as "Overhauling of machines" , UOM as hrs and a material grp created for services. Will this be the same as procurement of services with item category D. With item category D in PO there will be an advantage of creating a service entry sheet, but other than that is there any other advantage? or is the process of procuring services without mat master and without item category D completely wrong?
Regards,
V S

Answer to first query :
When the material is procured without Material number you will have to use Account assignment like K which is cost center , which means that you are procuring material for cost center and hence this material will not be stored in the inventory so there will be no effect in qty and prices for this material posting .
If you perform procurement via services again there will no stock quantity/ value update in Inventory . However FI will be posted .
These two are different business procedures, 1st one relates to Material for which units will EA , PC etc however Services have unit like Hrs, days etc
You have to decide if you can address your business with services option . But if you are dealing with Materials then better to use first option.

Is it possible to create info record without material number

Hi all,
Is it possible to create infor record without material master and what is the importance of the field Info update in PO.
Thank you for the help.

Hi,
1.Yes you can create Info record without material no. but you have create it for material group.Go to ME11 and only enter vendor ,Purchasing organization , and Plant don't enter material no.. and again enter maitain material gruop and require data for Material group.
2.Info Update indicator -
Info record update
    Determines whether the prices and conditions of this purchase order ite
    are suggested in future PO items.
Use
    Selecting InfoUpdate causes one of the following situations to occur:
        -   If just one info record (with or without plant) exists, it is
            updated.
        -   If no info record exists and "plant condition requirement" was
            specified in Customizing, an info record with plant is created.
            Otherwise, an info record without plant is created.
        -   If two info records exist (that is, one info record with plant
            and one without plant) the info record with plant is updated.

Creation of Purchase Order Without material master

Dear Experts,
Can we create PO with out material master.
1. If yes, what is the functional objective behind creating PO with out material master
2. Where do you do the setting for the same
I am trouble shooting on issue where once the user creates PO without Material master and with the account assignment caragory K and one GL account the FI document gets posted in MIGO and MIRO. But when I use more than 1 GL account with the same above setting the FI document does not get posted.
Any Input.

Paul

Hi Tao,
Thanks for your prompt response.
The issue here is little different which i missed to mention above.
with the account assignment catagory K when I put two different Cost center system does not go FI posting.
