Production Version in Material Master

Hi,
I am having problems with this.
I need to either change date on a production version or
delete the product version.
I have tried using a batch input sequence from my program both for changing the date
and for deleting the production version and this all works well.
Now this isn't good enough since there can be multiple production versions on a material
and I don't know which line to change or delete in the batch run.
Is there a good FM or BAPI to handle this?
I don't want to change the MKAL table directly since there is a history table
connected to this also (MKAL_AEND).
What is the best approach?
Rgds,
/Fredrik.

How can I use this to achieve what I want to do, either
change the production version date or delete the production version?
I have tried C223, but this is not good enough, nor is batch run in MM02.
I can have multiple production versions and can not pick the correct line
in batch run to change or delete.

Error in making production version in material master..

the error is: to date is in the past.
Scenario: i am trying to maintain production version in the material master for finished material. this error is coming for each material. Pls help. points on the helpful answers..

Dear,
Go to the MM02-MRP 4view clik on production version her you need to maintain the validity from From-To date as toadys date say11/11/2008 to 31/12/999 then double click on it then maintain the details like routing, bom and do the consistancy check if green light appear it means your PV is correct.

Implement the Product Allocation Functionality
We are required to implement product allocation functionality in SAP R/3 (Enterprise Version).
We tried to do the elaborate steps as per the implementation guide but are not successful. Can you kindly help by giving the simple steps for implementation.
Please see if the following helps:
Configuration Overview; Allocation Specific Usage
1.Allocation Procedure (OV1Z) The product allocation procedure is the parent of the entire allocation process. All materials that are to be included in the allocation scheme are required to have an allocation procedure assigned to it in the material master. In addition, as of release 4.0, it is in the procedure that the method of allocation is defined. The user has the opportunity to set an indicator to identify their choice of two different methods (discrete and cumulative allocation) to evaluate the quantities to be considered for product allocation.
2.Allocation Object (OV2Z) The allocation object is the root level of the allocation process where actual data is entered and planned in LIS. The object allows the user to further break down a procedure into smaller parts for future validation of components comprising a specific material
3.Allocation Hierarchy Mapping (OV3Z) Primarily, this transaction permits the assignment of an allocation procedure to an LIS information structure. Secondly, a character is assigned to the information structure to permit collective planning. Finally, the user can assign a step level to the procedure and information structure to sequence the order in which allocation quantities are checked. This functionality allows the user the opportunity to check product allocation against several product allocation scenarios, before the required quantity is confirmed
4.Define Consumption Periods (OV5Z) The allocation consumption periods functionality is only valid if the allocation method flag has been set (OV1Z). If you have de-selected the method field, this functionality is not available. The consumption window indicates the number of past and future periods to be used in the allocation check.
5.Control Product Allocation (OV4Z) In order for the allocation process to function properly, allocation control records are created primarily to map allocation procedure steps to their corresponding objects so that the allocation data records can be located for validation. Secondly, validity periods must be established to indicate when the allocation control records are active. Finally, the user has the option of establishing a conversion factor per allocation control record to accommodate BOM listings of constrained materials
6.Activate Allocation for Requirement Class (OVZ0) In order to turn on allocation in the standard order processing functionality, the requirements class must have a flag indicating that allocation is relevant.
7.Activate Allocation for Schedule Line Category (OVZ8) In order to turn on allocation in the standard order processing functionality, the schedule line must have a flag indicating that allocation is relevant
8.Create Planning Hierarchy (MC61) In order to adequately establish allocation quantities, the user must initially determine the level at which the allocation is to take place and the aggregation factor of the allocation quantities. In this step, the levels for the collective allocation search procedure are also identified.
9.Generate Masking Character (OV7Z) Upon completion of the level determination for the planning hierarchy, the collective allocation masking character must be generated to allow aggregation indicators to be established. This transaction simply reads the hierarchy established in the planning table and then generates a collective mask character for each level of the hierarchy
10.Modify Planning Hierarchy (MC62) This step is a repeat of MC61 where the initial hierarchy was established. In order to complete the hierarchical set up, the collective allocation (mask character) hierarchy must now be maintained with the appropriate aggregation factors
11.Allocation Procedure Assignment to Material Master (MM02) At the root level of the allocation process are the materials. Each material that is to be considered in allocation scenario must be mapped to an allocation procedure. In order entry, then, when a material is entered with a valid allocation procedure in the material master, the allocation data is verified prior to confirming the line item ordered
12.List of Suitable Structures (OV9Z) This report is used to identify potential LIS information structures that can be used in the product allocation process. This report simply reads through the data dictionary and selects all the active information structures that contain the field product allocation object (KONOB) as the first field. This data can then be utilized in the mapping transaction (OV3Z) to link the allocation procedure step to an information structure (previous step).

How to maintain production version for material and how it will work

Dear Friends,
                      i have created alternative bom for a material , My FG is having two RM1 and RM2. like below,
                FG --->RM1
                FG---->RM2
i created alternative BOM. how it will fetch raw materils from BOM while doing production confimation. what is meant by production version and how to configure that. how it will work
regards
RK

Dear Raja karthik,
1.Production version is a combination of BOM & Routing in Discrete scenario & in REM scenario its a
combination of BOM & Rate routing/Routing.The same can also be created only containing the BOM incase if it is going to be
used for a sub-contracting purchase info record.
2.Production version is a method or technique which's is used to produce a material.
3.A Material may be having one or more than one production version.
4.Production version can be differentiated by using either the validity date or Lot size range.
5.Say For Eg: Prod.Version1 --> Alt BOM1 & Routing1
Prod.Version2---> Alt BOM2 & Routing 1.
6.It has the status Locked and unlock.We can lock it when it is to blocked for any usage purpose.
6.Generally its created using T code MM02,by selecting MRP4 view and clicking on Production version key.
7.It's a master data in REM scenario.
8.Production versions can also be created using T code C223 for more than one material.
9.Planned independent requirements can be created production version specific in MD61.

Is it Necessary to create production version if using master recipe

our industry Process industry
we are using Master recipe for Production
is it necessary to create production version

Hi Krishna,
Production version is essential to mantain if you have a PP-PI industry scenario.
However, if you have not mantained it, you can still create a process order. Process order first searches for the production version (automatically/ manually) depending on the configuration settings.
If you have not mantained it, system would throw a SAP standard information message, "Material XXXXX: Production Version not mantained".
If system is not able to select valid master recipe / version. it would look for default values for operation in the master recipe settings and would try to create a operation.
Please see the following link:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_470/helpdata/en/ee/641c181bed11d29bfe080009b31c68/content.htm
Method for Selecting Alternative Bills of Material
Indicator determining the selection of the alternative BOM when requirements are exploded in material requirements planning.
Use
With Selection by order quantity, the system chooses the alternative BOM into whose lot size range the order quantity falls. The lot size range and area of validity of the BOM apply.
With Selection by explosion date, the system chooses the alternative BOM into whose area of validity the date falls according to the setting BOM via dates.
With Selection by production version, the system chooses the alternative BOM defined in the valid production version. The lot size range and area of validity of the production version apply.
With Selection only by production version, the system chooses the alternative BOM defined in the valid production version. The lot size range and area of validity of the production version apply.
If no production version is found, no production orders or process orders can be created.

In house production time in material master .

Dear All ,
What will happen if i do not enter ( keep blank ) the inhouse production time in MRP 2 view ?
Where i am using routing for all inhouse produced material . all the scheduling parameter are correct as per routing considered .
i have checked the scheduling in routing for these material , scheduling appearing correctly . So this is supposed to be copied as it is in the planned order --> prodn order ( it is happening ) .
So if i do not use in house production time field in MRP2 what will happen ?
Pl guide

Hi,
It is the time to produce a product in a plant in no.of days.
In-house production time:
Specifies the time in workdays needed to produce the material in-house.
In-house production time is independent of the order quantity.
Use:
The system requires the in-house production time to determine the planned dates for planned orders in materials planning.
Procedure
You can define work scheduling times in the material master record in one of two ways:
Either you enter the in-house production time. If required, you can get the system to update this value from the routing.
Or you enter the setup, tear down, processing, and inter operation times. If you maintain these values, the system determines the in-house production time on the basis of lot size.
Production Planning and Control (PP)
The time required to produce the material in your plant.
You can enter the in-house production time depending on the order quantity or independent of the order quantity. It is calculated by adding the lead times of all operations, the float before production, and the float after production.
I hope it helps you. Any queries please revert me back.

In house production time: Routing/ Material Master.

Hello All,
For a semifinished product with procurement type as "E", thr is a tab for entering in house production time (lot size independent). While creating the material master, i leave it blank. Also, i create a routing for the material.
Please tell me how can i get the in house production time in work scheduling view, updated from Routing.?
Regards,
Chetan.

hi chetan,
if you want to update the lotsize dependent inhouse production times, below is the steps for execution.
1. Maintain Processing time in Routing Operation details screen.
2. Then go to Operation overview screen in Routing, In menu go to Extras -- >Scheduling ---> Choose Schedule. Scheduling
pop up screen will appear.
3.Enter the scheduling type, lot size and dates for the corresponding scheduling type.choose continue, on the next pop up
enter the overview variant and choose continue.
4. In scheduling Overview screen choose the operation and select Scheduling result tab on the next pop up choose Update
material master tab.
5. Choose continue and save the routing.
6.Then go to CA96 enter the plant and choose continue, on the next screen select the scheduling result and choose Update
material master tab.
7. Go to Material master ---> Work scheduling view you can see the In house production is updated.

Automatic selection production version in MFBF

Hello !
I have a material setted with Selection method = 2(Selection by production version) in Material Master, so, I have two production version: V001 & V002, the last one is locked for any usage.
I need automatic selection of production version in MFBF , but when I'm doing the confirmation the system show the screen of production version selection with two versions .
Do you know what is missing for automatic selection works ?
Thanks a lot.
Vero

Hi Vernoica ,
Good Day , PV will be selected based on the lot size and the creation dates.
It will copy the PV (BOM & Routing ) based on Lot size or Explosion date you defind in MRP-4 view i.e. BOM selection ,BY -explosion date,1-lot size,2- by PV and 3 by PV only.
If you would like to get rid the selection of PV,
why dont you try created a production version than only go to material master change screen MM02 in MRP4 view and Select 2 at selection method field.
In the IMG (OPLD) for Order Type Dependent Parameters, the production version selection is already set to manual selection. But the production version is always defaulted as version 1 which is the first one in the material master and is not asking to select the version at the time of converting the planned order to a production order!
You can also check settings in configue trans OPL8 to have routing selection set to automatic selection if you want to avoid placing routing versions in each individual material master. Just another way to look at it
Hope it will resolve your problem.

Production Version at item catagory "L" PO

Hi,
Can i select the production version at Purhcase order lelve for item catagory L- Subcontracting Purchase order.
We can do it at Info record level , but is it possible to do at PO level? if yes then How?
Thanks,
Samir Bhatt

Hi Samir,
Follow these steps to get your required Production version when you create PO
We assume two different vendor with different BOM for Material "X"
1.Create BOM with alternative 01 and 02 for material "X",
2.Add those BOM in production version in material master MRP4 view for material "X".
3.Create Info records with Production version (Step 2 material master) in Purchasing Organisation View for each vendor.
4.Create Source list for material "X"
5.Now go to ME21n enter the required vendor and material "X", it will automatically default your required production version.
Hope these steps will help you,
Cheers!!!

Costing and Production Version

I am doing a costing run for material that has more than one production version defined for it. I want the costing run to pick up by default a prod version that we want to use for costing. However, it does not pick that up by default and instead we have to manually assign it in CK11n. Is there any way to make that Production Version default in the costing run. Please let me know. Thank you

Hi,
You can maintain the default Production version in Material Master - Costing1 View, under Quantity Structure section.
Hope this helps... Reward your points,

Production version for different periode

Hello Expert,
I have a requirement like below please suggest some solution
One of my finished material having two alternative BOM say 1 and 2 and I have a requirement in MD61 for 500 pcs in current month and another requirmnet in next month for 1000 pcs
Now the when we run MRP I want system should take alternative bom 1 for current month requirement(500 pcs) and system need to take alternative bom 2 for next month requirement(1000 pcs)
Any body have any idea about this solution with less master data maintenance for user
Thanks in Advance
Abu fathima

Hi,
       You can resolve your issue by two ways , either using lot size procedure or using validity period.
    Case I:- Using Lot size
       You can use lot size procedure in production version in material master MRP 4 view. Kindly note that selection method should be
3
Selection only by production version
1. Lot size 0 -500 lot quantity select first BOM in production version
2. Lot size 501 - 9999 or 501 - 1000 quantity select second alternative BOM
This will be used for every time production process.
     Case II:- Using Validity period
If you are using this scenario for specific period then you can use this option of validity. Validity can be applied at different level like BOM validity or production version validity date in your case.
a)If you have use validity start date of second BOM from next month then it will not explode in current month for MRP to achieve this use selection method in MRP4 view in material master as follows
1
Selection by explosion date
b) You can also restrict selection of BOM for specific period using production version validity
Start validity of second production version from second month to avoid selection in current month MRP.
To achieve this use selection method in MRP4 view in material master as follows
3
Selection only by production version
Hope you will get brief idea of selection correct BOM in MRP.
Apart from this there are various different method depends on business scenarios you can adopt your best. For more details of other method see following
Correct BOM selection in multiple BOMS for same FG Product for the same month
Hope above explanation will help you to resolve your issue.

Error MM335 when trying to change profit center on material master record

We are trying to change the profit center that is assigned on the u201CSales: general/plantu201D tab in the material master (same as what shows on the u201CCosting1u201D tab of the material master).
The following error message appears: u201CYou want to change the profit center but there are still material stocks u2013 Message no. MM335.u201D
Our SAP version is SAP ECC 5.0 with support pack 19.
This particular material that we are trying to change only exists within one plant and one storage location in SAP.
I have done the following in order to try and resolve this issue:
1. Removed all inventory from the inventory management and warehouse management side for the material.
2. Closed all open purchase orders and process orders for the material.
3. Looked at the MD04 screen to verify there are no outstanding documents for this material.
I also searched for OSS notes and found note #1249513 which was applied to our sandbox environment. This note did not fix our problem.
I had a developer to debug the code that is being triggered upon making a profit center change. Two important pieces of information he found is that the SAP code is:
1. Looking to see if the u2018New G/Lu2019 is turned on and u2018profit centeru2019 is active in the new G/L.
2. Looking to see if previous period stock exists for the material.
The code is then setting a flag which causes the error message to appear.
I have found other comments in the forum stating to change the error to a warning for message MM335. I believe this is not the correct solution; as this would allow a change to a profit center even if stock exists, open orders exist, etc. I also know we could trick the system by temporarily changing the message to a warning and sending that through to production, changing the material master and following up with a transport to change the message back to an error. This would work, but we want a final resolution to this problem.
I believe that 2 OSS notes that were included in our latest support pack upgrade has caused this problem. Those notes are: 1057674 and 1106510.
I plan on opening a note with SAP, but was wondering if any users have experienced this same problem after a recent support pack upgrade.
Regards,
JH

Following is additional information regarding this problem. We were able to successfully change the profit center on some of our materials by making sure there was no stock in previous period and current period (and no open sales orders, purchase orders, etc.).
