Query on KMAT materials

Hi,
I want to know what is the use of below fields from Basic Data 2 tab of Material Master. Can anyone explain me the use and steps
1) Cross-Plant CM
2) Material is configurable..
3) Variant
Thanks
Babu

Those fields are for making a material as material variant for a configurable material.
1. Cross-Plant CM : In this field you enter the configurable material (system standard is KMAT, you can create custom ones, though) for which you want create a material variant which is valid for the entire client.
Material variant for plant level CM field is available in MRP 3 screen.
2. Material is configurable: This indicator is set if the material type allows variant configuration (example material type : KMAT)
3. If the material is a variant of a configurable material (the indicator is automatically set if you enter a KMAT material in the cross plant cm field and hit enter and configure and save it)
Material variant for plant level indicator is available in MRP 3 screen also
I would suggest you to read about material variants on sap [HELP|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_470/helpdata/en/92/58c907417011d189ec0000e81ddfac/frameset.htm].
Revert back if you need any more clarity on the above fields.

  • Make-to-order: COPS for  KMAT materials (Non-valuated sales stock)

    Hello,
    We are working with KMAT configurable material (i.e. non valuated sales order stock).
    The client is requiring that inventory of these KMAT material should be shown in the financial accounting;however as we work with KMAT, this seems not possible.
    The whole process is:
    - taking of the sales order with the configuration
    - MRP and Production order Execution
    - Settlement of the PO to the sales order
    - Settlement of the Sales orden to a given account in FI (just like "stock for customer order") - inventory.
    The problem we are facing now is how to make the compensation of this account once the product is delivered.
    It seems the sales order's default settlement receiver is only the PSG. can we have to use the result analysis key to calculate the cost of sales, and which valuation method can we use if I only want to settle the actual cost that settled from the production order.
    By the way, I have search for the notes:Note 26459  it seems we have to run the sales cost estimate first for the KMAT.
    Summary
    Symptom
    It is not possible to perform results analysis on sales order items with materials of material type KMAT.
    Additional key words
    Transactions KKA3, KKAK
    Cause and prerequisites
    In make-to-order production, the inventory and the cost of sales are not posted through goods movements because the materials are managed in a non-valuated sales order stock. The only way to create postings in FI is to use results analysis (see Note 26456). If the sales order item consists of a material of material type KMAT, results analysis is not possible because no cost estimate exists for this material.
    Solution
    Results analysis must be performed with a valuation method that uses profit basis C. With this profit basis, the system uses the planned costs of the production orders for the sales order instead of a cost estimate for the KMAT material.
    In Release 2.2 a modification is needed for this which is described in Note 25772. In Release 3.0 this function is provided as standard.
    From 3.0C onwards the planned costs of the sales order can also be calculated in a product cost estimate for the sales order. You should use profit basis E in this case.
    However, if you are using assembly processing with production orders, you can only use profit basis C.
    Hope the scenario is clear. Perhaps you have a different approach to work with KMAT materials.

  • Super BOM for not KMAT materials

    Hi Gurus
    I have a client requirement to maintain the BOM for finished product as a Super BOM even though the material is not KMAT material. Super BOM has got KIT materials. Based on this customer requirement only certain materials which goes in to finished product are get selected and should check the availbility of those components and it should create a planned orders and purchase reqn After MRP run.
    My question is how the KIT materials are maintained in BOM?
    how the materials get selected while creating a Sales order w/o usinf Variant configuration?
    Does all the super BOM materials get consumed after the production confirmation?
    Quantum.

    Hi,
    What do you mean by KIT materials.
    By the way you can still maintain material as Configurable w/o selecting material type as KMAT.
    Just you need to do is select material type  FERT / HALB as applicable and then maintain material is configurable check box ticked in Basic Data 2 View in material master.
    Pls revert with more details.

  • Recursive Query - Bills of Materials

    I have a table that list all Parts that have materials (PartMtl table).  Ex. part 1 has materials 2a, 2b, & 2c.  I tie this table to a PartCost table linked on the materials.  So I get costs for 2a, 2b, & 2c.  This works smooth.  Now when I want to go a level deeper, and get 2a's materials, 3a, & 3b.  things get a little more complicated.  Up until this point, I have simply created aliases for the PartMtl & PartCost tables. 
    The problem with this method is I need to build the report with an alias for each table for each level for as many levels as I imagine our materials listings can grow.  This design is shaky at best and does not allow for additional levels.  Is there a way to dynamically create this recursion? 
    Thank you,

    You can base the report on an SQL Command something like (MS SQL):
    declare @level int;
    declare @reccnt int;
    declare @reccnt2 int;
    set @level = 1;
    select @level as level,
      pm.parent,
      pm.component,
      pm.qty_required,
      pc.cost
    into #temp
    from PartMtl pm, PartCost pc
    where pm.parent = '{?item to explode}'
    and pm.component = pc.part_id;
    set @reccnt = 0;
    set @reccnt2 = ( select count(*) from #temp );
    /* loop until no more records inserted */
    while @reccnt <> @reccnt2
    begin
      set @level = @level + 1;
      insert into #temp
      select @level as level,
        pm.parent,
        pm.component,
        pm.qty_required,
        pc.cost
      from #temp t, PartMtl pm, PartCost pc
      where t.level = @level - 1
      and t.component = pm.parent
      and pm.component = pc.part_id
      set @reccnt = @reccnt2;
      set @reccnt2 = ( select count(*) from #temp );
    end;

  • Adding  values in query for like materials.

    Greetings Gurus,
    I am very new to ABAB. I recently made a query attached to an infoset, that lists the amount received from a purchase order and compares the amount that was ordered (overdelivery allowed). With this I added a custom field and and in the Extras/Code tab I added (for "Record Processing")
    IF MSEG-BPMNG > EKPO-MENGE.
    ZCUSTOMF = 'OVERDELIVERED'.
    ELSE.
    CLEAR CUSTOMFIELD.
    ENDIF.
    This compares the amount received vs the amount ordered and gives a new field value if overdelivery occured. However it occurred that there may be multiple batches of the same material when received. When this happens the query displays multiple lines (same material document number) with each amount and does not add the value of the different batches of the same material. Is there any additional code that could be added that  'When the same material document number and same material' appear more than once to add the quantity received together and view it on one line? Any kind of help (especially with ABAP explanations) at all is greatly appreciated.
    Thank You

    Hi,
    You have to Loop at the itab which you are processing in the same code  tab with looping at itab at the material document you are processing at that moment. then sum up the Qty and Amount at the end of the loop and then check the amounts and then update the custom field for that PO or material document.
    As this code will be repeated for all the items of the document every time when you loop for that specific document just check whether the custom field is empty or not . Process the loop if empty only. As if i t is not empty then it is understood that thsi item has been processed earlier.

  • Hi  all......................i have a query in kmat configurabale material

    Please help me its very urgent
    Ticket:  regarding duplication of requirements being triggered in MRP.
      In this regard, I have already communicated to you that we identified following reasons are contributing factor for duplication of requirements in MRP.
    1.  Sale orders (after diversion) need to be deleted after order settlement (Need to be implemented through APSS).
    2.  We have been loading MRP on FERT, when the K-MAT order received, it creates additional requirement (since FERT has got prefix in Arrangement number).  Hence we have already defined our BOM in line with KMAT configuration.
    As I requested you, we require Consultant for 2 to 3 days at CPIPL to tryout loading MRP (as per KMAT configuration) in Quality server and move the same to Production server.    If you have any other better options, we would like to hear from Consultant.
    Request  your support in this regard.

    hi,
      nobody can understand ur requirement ,
    please be clear in communicating !!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Query bill of materials - web service

    Hello,
    When I query the bill of material using the web server QueryProductionBillOfMaterialIn using the FindItemGroupItemChangeStateSimpleByElements operation to retrieve the input products, I get the full list of all input products regardless of the validity date.
    Does anyone know if it is possible to query this web service so that you can filter the result based on the reference date as you do when editing a production BoM?
    Many thanks,

  • Planing a kmat material

    HI
    mine is a make to order strategy.with configurable materials.
    how do i plan these materials.
    I am  trying to perform ltp for a Kmat materials. it says  no planing profile maintained for this material.
    I am not able to maintain pir for Kmat too.
    how do i plan these materials.

    Deepu,
    One cannot enter demand plan (PIR) for configurable material because all components of Finished product are  supposed to be variable.If you need PIR it is better to use Planning strategy 65 "Planning with planning material. This PS supports PIR for configurable materials.
    It works as below :-
    Suppose Mat A is a configurable material - use PS =65 in MRP view
    Next create planning material B - use PS = 65 in it's material as well
    Now Config Mat A will have all the components of Super BOM.
    But Planning mat B will have only those fixed components that need to be planned in advance. It is assumed these components are fixed & required for any variation of the configurable mat A
    Next Enter PIR for PM B in MD61  
    With this planning all fixed components of Config Mat A are planned in advance with the variable components are planned only after they are selected as required components of Config Mat A in Sale order.
    Next the incomming Sale order for Mat A will consume demand (PIR) entered for PM B.
    Also if you still need to plan even the Variable components of Config Mat then define PS =70 for those components. However you have to enter PIR for these components individually in MD61 as against entering PIR for Planning Material B
    Hope this helps. Else please come back.
    Thanks,

  • Query Manager and Current User

    Good day everyone,
    Please forgive my ignorance regarding using the Query Manager syntax, but I was wondering :
    1. If there is any specific documentation (official or not) that would explain all the specific issues raised when dealing with this tools (variables, parameters etc)
    2. If not - if any of you guys knew a way to use the current logged on user in a query -- I found materials regarding the $[USER] but I was unable to achieve to any result in Query Manager.
    Thank you for your assistance

    Hi,
    1) Yes, SAP provide a 'How To' document for formatted searches that includes most of what you need to know (it should be in the Document Resource Center in the Channel Partner Portal and is called 'How to Define and Use Formatted Searches). There are a few unofficial tricks that appear on various threads here on the SDN (eg how to get around the issue of SBO not correctly defining a parameter on complex queries).
    2) The following query will return the name of the current user:
    SELECT T0.u_name FROM OUSR T0 WHERE T0.internal_k = $[USER]
    Strangely, this doesn't work on my 2007A preview build but does work on 2005A SP1.
    Kind Regards,

  • Build/call Query URL with selections using JavaScript???

    I have created a web query to list specific materials and each row has a checkbox for the user to select which materials they would like to work with.  Once they push the "Submit" button I have collected the materials they selected into a Javascript array. 
    I would now like to call a different query with the materials selected as a filter.  Can anyone show me how to build an URL to call the query and use the materials as a filter?  There could be 10 or 20 selected materials...
    Thanks for any direction you can provide!

  • SQ01 problem

    HI,
    i have to create a simple query using tables VBAK and VBAP...but this query should contain      top 100 most materials sold between date1 and date2.
    How can i do this? I mean where i put the query which group materials and make a count ?
    Thank you.

    hi,
    You need to create a 'Ranked list' in SQ01 for displaying top 100 records of materials on price   basis. For this, click on 'Ranked list button'. Give 100 as input in 'No of places' tab . Give the  sequence number as 1,2,3 etc. in 'No' tab for the fields which you want to display . Choose the radio button 'Crit' , as criteria , for the field base on which you selecting top 100 records, for example in you case it is sold price of materials. Check the checkbox 'ASC' for displaying records in ascending order . You need to give the appropriate unit in 'UNIT' tab. Thus it creates your ranked list. Now you can choose the output sequence by pressing CTRL + F4. Rest other conditions like fields  only in particular dates , that you can do it in infoset for that query.

  • ALV Report for Handling Units

    Hi,
    In SAP, the standard report exists for the selection of handling units (HUMO). The requirement is that in addition to standard output the report should also display  for KMAT materials the serial number associated with the respective HU, catalog number and special stock category.
    -Depending upon the selection criterion, the HU assigned with the material will be identified for the materials.
    -The HU contains the catalog number in the contents field of status tab and will be displayed in output.
    -The serial number assigned with the HU will be picked up from the HU and will be displyed in the output.
    1. The program will first find out the HUs for the material. From the HU, catalog number and serial number will be traced.
    2.The output should be in ALV format.
    3.The output will display HU number, KMAT number, catalog number, serial number, quantity, special stock indicator, plant, Storage location, Warehouse number, and bin-location.
    Can Any body tell me what are the table involved in this ALV report to display HU number, KMAT number, Special Stock Indicator, Warehoure Number and Bin Location.
    Thanks,
    Bala.

    Hi ,
          For Handling unit tables are VEKP,VEPO also use object LE_HU in transaction SARA .
    For Warehouse number check out table t300,t320 or view v_T320
    For Bin location table T303,T303T or view V_T303
    For special stock determination T434P
    FOR KMAT - table MAST ,STKO ,STPO.
    Please reward if useful.
