Regarding Raw Material Procurement Cockpit

Hello everybody.
I am test the new business function named raw material procurement cockpit(RMP Cockpit).
I just checked the following SAP information.
Raw Material Procurement Cockpit - Consumer Products for Food and Beverage Industry (PP-PI-CFB) - SAP Library
But I cannot find the restrictive condition information for RMP cockpit.
For example, if use the subcontracting function for Japan-specific, the cost calculation cannot be used.
Would you like to tell me the restrictive condition for RMP cockpit?
or show me the way to find the information about RMP cockpit restrictive condition.
Thanks in advance.

In SFW5, click on impact analyzer and then details for the business function.
Check the transaction codes that are affected.

QM process in Raw material procurement

Dear friends
I wanted to know what is the QM role in procurement of Raw Material. I know that at the time of GRN, we can post the GRN to Quality stock( blocked stock). But after that what would be the process from a QM perspective. Do we need to transfer the QM stock to unrestricted stock after inspection? If yes, then what movement type will be used.
A small process flow would be very useful, starting from the GRN.
Pointss will be rewarded for replies.
Thanks in advance
Amit

Hi
Buyser creates PO>GRN is made in factory>Before that MM should maintain QM view & inspection type 01 should be active.>after GR made(101 Mvt) material comes to QI stock-->Quality perpole will take usage decison of accept or reject immediatly after lot create in QA32
If they accept the material-->321 mvt
if they reject the material-->122 mvt
if they put in block stock-->350 mvt.
when Quality post material to unresticted from there it is issued to stores...
I hopw i have made you understand.

Raw material procurement based on the LTP Plan

Dear Friends,
How can I create a procurement proposals based on the LTP Plan. For example for material A, I am doing the LTP planning for entire Year. As per the LTP plan I got the Raw material requirements. I don't want to make the total plan as active. That means I don't want to create PIRs for my finished material A for the entire year. But as per the LTP plan of finished material A... I want to create a procurement proposals for the raw materials for the entire month through schedule lines... How can we do it?
If any further clarification is required... please let me know.
Regards.

Hi,
Based on the forecast for the material A, the simulative planned orders will generated for its raw material duirng the LTP run.
If you want to convert hte planned proposal into PR then you can run MD43 for the particular Raw material.
Before running MD43, in MS04 - set firming date and then run MD43, planned orders will get converted to PR (firmed). Then run LTP again using MS02 (then the planned orders get deleted)
Please check and come back if you need any clarification
Thanks,
JK

RAW MATERIAL PURCHASE AUTHORIZATION

Hi
Can any one advise me , How can I set authorization on Item Group Level ,
Like I need to give authorization to one user who only can create Raw material Purchase
Is it possible in SAP B1 9.0 ??
Thanks
Ricky

Hi
Use This
IF @object_type = '4' and @transaction_type in ('A','U')
BEGIN
if exists (select distinct 'Error' from OITM where ItemCode = @list_of_cols_val_tab_del and ItmsGrpCod !='101'
and UserSign='5')
begin
select @error =1
select @error_message = 'Select Your Correct Item Group'
end
END
But it will work only for user 5 and 101 group
Thanks

Problem in Raw Material Purchase

Hi,
I have some issues.. I need some advice on that.
one of the raw material used in production is Grain (eg: Rice). Which is purchased in tons from different supplier. these incoming grain are put into quality inspection.
1 - but the order quantity is very large in number. going into several hundred tons. for this there is only one purchase order. but supplier supplies materials in different vehicles eg: trucks, trailers etc and in different dates. how can i map this scenario in SAP QM so that inspection lot is created for every incoming vehicle rather than every purchase order..
2 - grains are supplied in the bags in trucks. to conduct quality checks, samples are taken from these bags but not from all the supplied bags. samples are taken from only the accessible bags. i.e. from the bags at the end of the truck / trailer.
vendor may have put very good quality grains at the end of the truck, as he knows all bags are not accessible, specially the inside ones may contain very bad quality grains. what can i suggest to control this?
3 - it always takes time to conduct quality tests, supplier cannot wait till all test finishes. as soon as goods are received there will be unloading of the grains and these directly go into production. after the test results there may be rejections in quality. Again to control these what can i suggest to the client.
Please give me your advice on these
Thanks and Regards,
Pavan

Hi

Suppose that the PO was cerated for 1000 tonns.Now You don't want Lot to be created as per Purchase order.Then
1.Create a material master for material,maintain QM view for the same.
2.Activate 01 inspection type.In Inspection type maintain " InspecLot Control" as "Per material document."
Against PO you have created ,you can create multiple GR's & every time lot will be created.
2 - grains are supplied in the bags in trucks. to conduct quality checks, samples are taken from these bags but not from all the supplied bags. samples are taken from only the accessible bags. i.e. from the bags at the end of the truck / trailer.
vendor may have put very good quality grains at the end of the truck, as he knows all bags are not accessible, specially the inside ones may contain very bad quality grains. what can i suggest to control this?
This will be only possible by Random sampling.Here SAP really can not help you as far system or discipline of vendor is concern.only control is by increasing the scope of sample collection.
3 - it always takes time to conduct quality tests, supplier cannot wait till all test finishes. as soon as goods are received there will be unloading of the grains and these directly go into production. after the test results there may be rejections in quality. Again to control these what can i suggest to the client.
1.one method can be say vendor has supplied 100 tonns.You have consumed 20 tonns while you found rejection.What you can do is keep the 80 tonns aside.
When Next GR will be made against his next delivery you can do Return Delivery of 80 Tonns for Fresh lot & do physical return delivery of old 80 tonns.
2.Next could be just Quarentine the lot which is rejected & send back to vendor (122 mvt) or ask for replacement.This can be done without GR for replaced material.(may be returnable challan)
You may find other ways also
I hope this will help

Info on Service procurement and Material procurement in Purchasing

hi
we are dealing with a purchase register for services report and a purchase register for material report.
Can anyone explain in detail about material procurement and service procurement in MM and
what are all the documents created/ involved in the flow and explain the relationships between these documents ( between PO & GRN&INVOICE like i,e 1:m or 1:1)?
1. PURCHASING - MATERIAL PROCUREMENT
PO->GRN->INVOICE.
2.PURCHASING - SERVICE PROCUREMENT
PO->_?_-> INVOICE.
And differences between material and service procurement.

Hi,
Material POs.
One PO, Item can have many GRN Items.
One GRN Item can have multiple Invoice items.
This is same for services as well.
In Services, the equivalent of GRN is acceptance of the service entry sheets.
Thanks,
Krishnan

Raw Material Purchase figure in SAP

We in SAP are having Raw Material Consumption based accounting in FI. There are not purchases record in SAP for raw material. But we require this figure every month so is there any std.purchase register in SAP? How at the year end we will match Purchases as per Register & purchases derived from R M Consumption+ RM Closing stock-RM Opening stock?
Please advise on this issue?

Dear Pravin Navghane,
You can activate purchase accounting in
SPRO > Materials Management > Valuation and Account Assignment > Account Determination > Account Determination Without Wizard > Purchase Account Management ..........

Diff. between Procurement of raw material & Consumable material

hi Guru's
can u PLEASE tell me what is the diff. between Procurement of raw material & Consumable material , is there any other settings for both or we have to treat both procurement as same

Hi Akshay,
Procurement can be of various types , for stocks, for direct consumption, for order, for projet, network etc whether it is raw material or other.
You are looking for information on procure for stock and direct consumption. It depends on which type of material (means valuated or non-valuated) how the accounting takes place, for stock procurement with valauted materials both value and quantity will be updated, for nonvaluated materials only stock get updated. In case of procure for direct consumption stocks will be posted directly to consumption/expense account in case.

Procurement Inspection if Material is purchased in Tankers

Dear Freinds,
Kindly help me in mapping the following requirement in SAP
The raw material will be purchased in tankers
Ex: 1. if 10 tankers of the material is purchased, approximate quantity will be collected from all the tankes individually.
From the quantity collected, one composite sample will be prepared by tanking some quantity from first tankers and another composite sample will be prepared by taking some quantity from next 5 tankers.
2. Results will be recorded to the composite samples.
3. If any composite sample is rejected, then sample from all the 5 tankers will be tested individually and results will be recorded.
Let me know the process steps involved in mapping this scenario in SAP QM
Thanks&Regards
Srikiran

If GR's of the tankers are made seperatly then
its very easy lot will be created differently,differnt UD will be taken & different RR can be done.
If same GR is made for all tanker QTy then try to use multiple sampling in the sampling scheme this will help you trigger multiple sample when sample is rejected.
better way i can suggest is use multilpe line items in purchase order for different tankers

Raw material cost estimates

HI experts,
Currently we have the following scenario:
There are some raw materials which are procured externally, and these materials are maintained with price control S
Well, the problem is that the standard cost for the material consists of a few more components, for example:
The standard price for the material X is 20 USD which consists of:
- the price of the material itself : 15 USD
- the import duty : 5 USD
let's say if the actual import duty happened during IR is 6 USD, how can we get the variance from the difference between the import duty? I am unfamiliar with raw material cost estimate, but seeing that the import duty will be captured using condition type in PO, i assumed that we can use raw material cost estimates with this, and use the COPA report with record type B for this case.
Could anyone give any suggestions regarding this case? It is better if it comes with step to step guide.
Thank you very much in advance
Regards,
Erwin

Hi Erwin
1. The ideal design would have been Price Control V if the material is outright purchased... There by not leaving any scope for variances... You would agree that it is best to valuate inventory @ actuals as far as possible
2. If you want to retain S, then release your Std cost as many times as the Base Price of 15 or Import duty of 5 usd changes... This will also avoid variances during MIGO.. However, it will throw up inventory revaluation figure each time u release new cost estimate
Else, the variances will be updated to CO or COPA as per your choice in OKB9.... The record type will be B
Are you not able to update variance to COPA?

Raw material costing - Valuation strategy with info-rec. "L" - Consignment

Hi all,
I want to implement raw material costing for all our raw material.
I created a new costing variant which use strategy "L" (price from purchasing info-record). My sub-strategy is 9 - Effective Price from PO followed by 5 - Effective price from info-record.
Everything works well except for consignment with vendor.
I have a raw that is procured from a vendor. The price for the raw is stored in the purchasing info-record and has condition types associated with it. This PIR is of CONSIGNMENT type. However, When costing the raw in CK11N the price for this consignment material is not pulled into the estimate.
I have seen in note 552486 that "For the valuation with a price from the info record, the system can basically only consider info records with category 'N' (normal) and 'L' (subcontracting). "
Have any of you come accross this situation? if yes, how did you resolve it?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
any other idea about this ? I want to use strategy "L" but want to know if I can make it work with consignment.
Thanks

Material Procurement from many vendors

Hi friends,
I am working in a process industry where raw material is supplied from nearly two thousand vendors.I put all vendors in a source list. I want to create purchase requisitions at a time for all vendors for same material. How can I create it?
Please guide me.

Hi,
For this you need to follow the "Quota Arrangement" Process.
Go to MM02 - In "Purchasing" view, enter "Quota arr. usage" as '4" and save.
Also maintain MRP views of the material master.
Now go to OMI4 - here for MRP Lot Size (For e.g. EX), activate "Splitting Quota" for Short-term as well as Long-term planning both and save.
Now go to MEQ1 - here for material master and plant and press enter, here maintain valid to date and pres enter and double click on this
Here enter Procurement as "F" (External Procurement), also enter all the vendors and enter Quota as "1" for all the vendors.
Prerequisite for Quota Arrangement is Purchase Info Record and Source List must exist for the material.
Now maintain Planned independent requirement for material in MD61 and then run MRP for the material in MD02 and check system will generate the PRs for the material for all the vendors maintained in MEQ1.
