Project Stock Procurement and directly supplied at Site

Hi,
I am creating a project and there are few materials that though exist as stock item in the company/plant, but this is to be specially procured for this Project and also delivered directly at site.
If i assign these materials as Non stock item on Actiity, system does not accept material with Material Number and i get an error "Material 0003-057A0X is incompatible with item category".
I want to undestand how do we treat such a material to be directly procured for project.
Thanks in advance.
Warm Regards,
Jatinder

Direct Procurement and Direct Production

Dear all,
Can you please explain to me what is "Direct Procurement", and "Direct Production" base on the following points:
1 - What is the process about?
2 - How and when business requirement will bump into and using these two processes?
3 - Example
Please don't copy and paste the SAP help portal explanation as I have read the SAP help-portal and am NOT understand
thanks very much
tuffy

Dear Tuffy,
Direct Production:
1.The components for which individual production orders are created in a collective order concept are called as directly
produced component.
2.In my understanding these components are identified with the value 52 set for special procurement key in MRP2 view of the
material master.
3.Direct production cannot be set for the components that have any one of the indicator set for - by product, co-
product,alternative item with usage probablity 0 or alternative item with strategy 2,discontinued material,follow up material,intra
material.
4.This concept atleast helps in understanding the cost breakup than the phantom assembly concept.
5. Example:
You want to produce a pump. The BOM for the pump contains a pressure regulating valve and a spiral casing. You want to
enter these two components in separate production orders, but you do not want them to be posted to stock.
You set the special procurement type to direct production in the material master record for the pressure regulating valve and
the spiral casing, so that production occurs using a collective order.
When you create a production order for the pump, a collective order is automatically created, which contains subordinate
production orders for the pressure regulating valve and the spiral casing.
Direct Procurement:__
1.Direct Procurement is generally used for non-stock items that is defined with item category N or defined using special
procurement key for direct procurement.
2.This is widely used in the case of Make ot order or Engineer to Order production where the stock of such materials are not
inventory managed.

Project stock GR and GI occupy twice budget.

Hi Experts,
When the PO of project material Goods receipts, the statistical cost element of 90 category exists.
But when the PO Goods issue to project for consumption, the cost element is deleted.
Hence the project stock GR and GI occupy twice budget.
How can I reconstruct the statistical actual cost of project stock and project budget?
How can I solve this incontinuous data problem?
Thanks a lot.
Optional Backgroup INFO:
     At 2008/11/17, we created a statistical cost element (1605030000) for project material stock GL account whose category is 90. And at 2008/11/30, we deleted it because of financial departmentu2019s requirement.
    We find some project stocks who occupy project budget, and also some material purchase requisitions and material purchase orders who have commitments occupying project budget, are created during statistical cost element 1605030000 existing from 2008/11/17 to 2008/11/30.
    Now because statistical cost element 1605030000 doesnu2019t exist any more, when the project stock materials are issued to project for consumption, at the same time we got the material actual cost in the project, but the project stock still occupies the project budget which means the certain material occupies project budget twice in the form of project stock and project actual cost of material consumption. Could you do me a great favor to solve this inconsistent situation please?
    Further more, we want to delete all the commitments of the above material PRs and POs, and set free the budget which project stock occupies, could you help out? Is there any program to recalculate the commitment, the actual cost and the budget?
And if some day we want to add the statistical cost element (1605030000) for project material stock GL account back, how can we make all the material PRs and POs which are already in the SAP system occur commitment? How can we make all the project stock occupy project budget? Is there any program to recalculate the commitment, the actual cost and the budget?
Thanks a lot in advance.

Project stock "Q" and Internal order

Hy,
we are trying to use the Project stock indicator ("Q") for make-to-order ; the Project stock seems to work properly.
We are also trying to insert the "Internal order" and we modified the "Q" account assignement category to add the 'internal order'.
In the Purchase order we insert a 'real' internal order and a 'statistic' wbs.
When we make the good receipt we have only a CO posting to the 'statistic' wbs but do not have any CO posting to the 'real' internal order.
Can someone help me to solve this point?
thanks in advance.
Mario

Hi Gianmario,
What you can try is to change the consumption posting indicator in the account assignment category from P to V. But I am not sure how the system then behaves in combination with special stock Q.

Transfering only edited pages and direct to my site

Hello all,
As I use a domain (not .mac) I have to publish my site to a local folder, and then transfer files to my FTP site.
Problem is that on publishing to a local folder, I replace all files, and therefore cannot see which files have been modified from the last session. FTP transfer of my site means transferring every file, every time.
So my question is...
Can I publish directly up to my FTP site, and only the files that have been modified??
Thanks in advance
Robert

Hey,
Thanks for the input.
OT: I have tried Website Maestro, but it detects differences only by time stamp. As publishing to folder replaces all files with a new date/time stamp, I cannot use it, but thanks for the link
Cy: Unfortunately I am not into scripts or codes but am tech enough to give it a go some day.
I have however found a solution that I can live with (not being totally into code)
1. I upload all my site directory from my default site folder to FTP site
2. Duplicate default site folder. This creates a folder called "+your site+ copy"
2b. By this, it is to be understood that the contents of "+your site+ copy" folder and your FTP site directory are the same.
3. Download and install DeltaWalker (search Deltawalker on mac.com)
3b. Under preferences/folder comparison, mark "Compare file size" and apply
4. On the main screen browse your 2 folders. Default site on the left, copy site on the right. Click the icon with 3 arrows pointing to the right (middle one is yellow)
4b. Click compare to show files that are different (in this case an empty screen)
5. Edit and publish your site to your default site folder, and compare the 2 folders again, and now you will get a list of different files.
6. Manually select and upload your modified files/folders via your FTP program.
Final step:
Now your copy folder and FTP site directory are not the same. In DeltaWalker, select modified files, ctrl+click and copy selected files from first to second. Your 2 directories are now the same and equal to your FTP site directory. Repeat from step 5
I now this is a tad manual, but if any boffins out there can create a script to automise this...well, I'll owe them a beer

Moving avergae price updation in material master for project stock

Dear All,
My query is pertaining to updation of MAP( moving average price) for project specific procurement ( as project stock) for valuated project stock.
As definelty the cost of procurement gets consumed by project .but i want to know does the project stock procurement still updates the moving avergae price or not.
Ex:-Suppose MAP in material master is 10 USD ( with qty 1)and i procure the same material ( qty 1)for project with account assignment Q for 9 USD . now will the MAP in material master becomes 9.5 USD or it remains 10 usd.?
Please reply urgently
Regards
Amit

Hi Amit,
If your Project Stock is valuated, then, the valuation data for it is stored in a different table: QBEW.
The normal, anonymus warehouse stock (the unrestricted use stock which is not assigned to any project or to any sales order) has its valuation data stored in MBEW.
The "Accounting 1" view in the Material Master MM03 ONLY displays the data of MBEW.
In the material master you will never see the valuation data of the valuated project stock (table QBEW) or the valuated sales order stock (valuation indicator "M" - table EBEW).
The valuation data for the tables QBEW and EBEW can be seen in SE16 or in the transaction MBBS.
Also note that these valuated special stocks are managed independently of the normal stock. If, for example, you change the Moving Average Price of your normal stock in MBEW, this will not have any influence on your project stock, as the data is under a totally diferent table QBEW.
I hope this helps you,
Esther.

Report for Project Stock Balances as on a previous Date

Hi PS Gurus !!
We need to have a Report that gives the Project Stock Balances and Values as on a Past Date. The system gives a Current Status Report, but is there a Report that gives the Values for Past Date. This is a report for the Auditor's Interest.
Secondly, we would also need a Report on the Movement of Project Stock in the past periods. Is this possible ??
Thanx !!
Ravi

Hi Everyone !!
I would once again request all of you to kindly answer to my question, as I need a solution to this urgently.

Since downloading OS X Mountain Lion my WordSearch9 will not open. I got a message that X11 was not supported and directed to a sited to download XQuartz. Now when I try to launch WordSearch9 I get a message "X11 cannot be found.

Since downloading OS X Mountain Lion my WordSearch9 will not open. I got a message saying that X11 was not supported and directed to a site to download an update "XQuartz" which I did. Now when I try to launch WordSearch9 I get a message "X11 cannot be found". I did follow the instructions to download and install XQuartz, but there still seems to be a problem. Anyone have an idea?

Your report indicates Mountain Lion, but your footer indicates Lion. I'll assume you're on 10.8.2; on the current Mountain Lion version.
Rebooting is fine.
The posted diagnostics look like there might be a problem with the Xquartz install, or it is not starting, or it's not authorized for the sandbox. (But I don't know enough about that to be certain.)
Try launching X11.app directly from your Applications > Utilities folder, and see if that works, or if shows any dialog boxes, or that reports any errors.
If you had an Xquartz kit installed and it's not the 2.7.4 (current) Xquartz kit, then please update to that version. (I'm assuming that site is where you got your Xquartz kit from, too.)
I'd also suggest also discussing this more directly with the Xquartz folks via mailing list or the IRC channel, or collecting up the Xquartz logs and then posting a bug over at the Xquartz site; here are the details on bug reporting for Xquartz.

Kanban with Project Stock

PP Experts,
Its my understanding that PP-Kanban is not currently compatible with project stock. To take that a step further some of my colleagues have gone so far as to say that Kanban does not make sense with project stock. I'm not sure that i 100% agree with that. So - my question:
A - is that true? does Kanban not work with Project Stock?
B - would Kanban in a project stock enviroment even make sense?
C - have you ever had experience implementing a 'Kanban-type' solution in a project stock enviroment and if so what were some of the high-level solution details?
Thanks for any and all help.

Dear colleague,
Unfortunately the process of using purchase order or contract with
account assignment category is not supported except the category K or
a different category but with cost center only.
best regards

Change of Production Order to Project Stock from unrestricted stock

Hello Experts,
I need to have a workaround of transaction CO02. Actually, we have already implemented PS by using Project Stock but the problem is that we have almost thousands of production orders that will come into unrestricted stock after production. For these orders we want to make an account assignment for a project and we want that MRP to see all these production orders as entering project stock after production. If I do the same by CO02, it is very difficult for me to do it individually for each production order. So, is there any way to configure our need for passing from using unrestricted project stock to project stock ?
Thanks,
Kumar Srinivasan

Hi,
Then try implementing the following logic. Not sure if this can help you.
Use a material that is set up to trigger the production order and attach this material to a network activity that is set to be reserved for project stock Q and can only be GI to that WBS element. The planned costs are recognized in the project but the Actuals are only recognized when the finished material is GI back to the project. You can use your planned production orders and MRP in exactly the same way but they are just linked back to the project when they are completed.
If you need to transfer planned orders that are already in place then it can be done in MM. There’s a goods movement type specific to where you need to reference the WBS element that is set for requirements grouping.

Amit

Issues on Copying the Project without Project Stock Checked

Hi,
When I copy the operative project (with project stock unchecked and components assigned to the activity in this project) to create a new project, I checked the project stock in the master data of the new project. Although the new component assigned after the creation of the new porject is project stock, the component copied from the operative project is still not project stock.
Is there any walkaround or solution to make the copied component to become a project stock?
Thanks,
Ting

Material procurement as Project stock

Hi,
I have assigned a Non Stock Material (N) to WBS activity ---> converted the PR (created for network) to PO --> now i want to do GR for this PO and update the material recieved as Project stock on the correspondign WBS.
I am using movement type 501Q when doing GR, and i expect that the corresponding WBS should automatically be populated or i should be able to add the WBS manually? but WBS field in MIGO screen when doing GR is greyed out?
Any pointers to address this will be helpful?
Thank you.
Regards,
Jatinder

Hi,
>>>>>>
But now for one project i dont want to take material from store, but want the material to be supplied by supplier directly at project site, also i dont want to show the material supplied as directly consumed but want to show it first as WBS stock and then do GI to show consumption? how can we achieve this??
<<<<<<<
If you are intended to ship directly to site, then change procurement scenario as Drop shipment. In that case material never see the warehouse, what I mean no GR. Hope this make sense.
for other requirement, discuss with your WM guys who should have fictious GR for that material. In that case you have to use material account assignment as Q (project stock). the only thing is you are not physically bringing material into warehouse but still you have GR for that material.
Why you want to follow suck kind of routing, directly use drop ship procurement scenario which makes your life easier without any risk. By doing this you encouraging some kind of malpractices in system where users may misuse.
Any have its your call and take decision accordingly.

Direct procurement and Indirect Procurement in SAP AFS

Hi,
Can you diffrentiate between Direct procurement and Indirect Procurement in SAP AFS.
thanks
Aki

Hi Aki,
Direct Procurement
Raw Material and Production Goods
Order Qty: Large
Value: Industry specific (Like shirt in apparel industry)
Direct procurement supports the conversion of planned requirements to purchase orders.
Primary Processes-Direct Procurement
1. Determination of the materials and services required.
2. Create requisition.
3. Request for the quotation.
4. Quotation Management.
5. Vendor selection.
6. Create Purchase Order.
7. Goods Receipt and Invoice Receipt.
8. Invoice Verification/ Vendor Payment.
Indirect Procurement
Maintenance, Repair and Operating (MRO) Supplies
Order Qty: Low
Value: Generic (Machine Spare Parts in any industry)
Indirect procurement supports the purchasing of indirect materials and subcontracting.
This process can be dealt with using standard functions such as material requirements planning, purchase requisition, stock transport order, transportation planning and the handling of internal deliveries.
The cross-plant, internal procurement of materials can be carried out within one company code (intercompany) or by using several company codes (cross company).
Primary Processes-Indirect Procurement
1. Requisitioning
2. Purchase Order Management
3. Receiving
4. Financial Settlement
Hope it helps.
