Rebates (generic material X variant)

Hello Dear,
I have a problem with my rebates process. Could anybody here please help me?
The problem is:
I´ve created a rebate with the material 425001 (3%).
T-Code: VBO1 (customer rebate)
Sales Organization: BP01
Distribution Channel: 01
Division: 01
Rebate Recipient: XPTO
Material: 425001 (variant from generic material 425)
Amount: -3%
When I check all the materials for this agreement in VBO2 I can see the material 425001.
However, when this material have a order, I can´t pay this agreement to my Rebate Recipient XPTO.
I´ve checked the price in T-Code VF03 -> Item Condition -> Analysis Pricing to understand why the pricing didin´t find the condition I observed that the material is 425 (generic material).
When this material have a order my price couldn´t find this material. My price find only the material 425.
I need that the condition find the variant material, not only the generic material.
How can I solve my problem?
Thanks a lot and sorry for my poor English
Rodrigo Cordeiro

olá Rodrigo,
if you want to give rebates for components which are confiugerd in a variant please use transaction vk11 and condition type va01.
There you can maintain rebates per cent. If you this rebates depends from customer you can add a condition table in pricing determination.
If you have further questions don`t hesitate.
saludos

Best solution for... let's say: generic material.

Hi,
each final product that is sold by my company is specifically designed for every sales order (a project is created for every sales order). This final product is composed by different components. One component, for example, could be one machine that is bought to one of our vendors, but this machine is different for every project (not only its characteristics but also its value). Should I create a different material code for every machine or should I use some sort of "generic material" to solve this problem? If so, how should I proceed? what would happen with the average price of this material for every project?
I hope you understand my requirements.
Thanks in advance,
Luis.

There could be more than 1 possible solution to this query based on your requirements and volume of such materials.
First you need to decide whether your case is that of ETO (Engineer to Order) or MTO (Make to Order). If it is ETO may be you can go for DIEN material.
If it is MTO, than you can configure variant configuration. Variant Configuration is very much data intensive and needs lot of time if you have many products with various combinations (variants).
If such scenarios are very few, than may be you can think of creating generic material codes as well.
But you will have to judge for your business and come to a business case which one jjustifies the cost involved in implementing either of these solutions.

Generic material creation (MM41- IS-Retail)

Hi all,
Any body creted generic material with internal number assignment using bapi/idoc. i could not able to create .
Plz if any body having code plz send.
Regards,
Sai

Hi Sai!
And for the material number of the header material, use BAPI_MATERIAL_GETINTNUMBERRET.
Funnily you have to fill the MATNR, even if you have internal number assignment. But with BAPI, this is not possible, it's part of these two function modules.

Error message while creating configurable material for variant configuration.

Dear All,
I want to create configurable material for the purpose of variant configuration. When trying to create configurable material using mm 01 or mm k1, it is displaying an error message that internal number assignment is not possible for the material type configurable materials as well in using external number also. Can anyone specify the steps to be done in creating the configurable material. Thank you all.
Regards
Akula Sivaji Kumar Madhu Kiran

If you want to set these material type to another group (Which has a internal number and external number range), then you can do it.
In MMNR, Click on the Edit Group.
Then select the material type and click select element.
Then mark a tick option in another group and then press Element/Group.
Then you can see the material type will come under this group.
Now save your entry, and create a material with this material type.

Report output as per order of material in variant

Dear Friends,
I have developed a report that reports production figures of different materials, sorted by material (alphabetically).
The requirement of the user is that the list should be as per the order of different materials mentioned in the variant.
How can I achieve this? Please advice.
Regards,
Alok.

hi,
u sort the internal table by the materials in our variant.
like sort itab by jtab
itab consists of all materials
jtab cosists of materials in variant.
hope it may helpful,

Extractor for Material Characteristics - Variants

Hello Gurus,
There are few characteristics that we have configured in ECC system for Materila. If you go to MM01 or MM03-> BASIC DATA 2 -> Client Specific configuration -> There is an option of creating a Cross-Plant CM. You can create additional characteristics once you click the Configure Variant button. There are values that are assigned to the Characteristic Value Assignment.
I would like to know is there a Standard Extractor, that gets these characteristics.
Thanks in advance
Full points to right answers

Thanks for your reply again.
The following are the parameters:-
Basis Datasource : 0MATERIAL_ATTR
Client: 100
Class Type: 001 (Material Class) It does not allow me to select any other class
Obj Table: MARA
Datasource Type: ATTR
Datasource : 1CL_OMAT001
And then I double click on characteristic, to add my characteristics.
The system generates a TEXT DATASOURCE for individual text characteristics, which when using RSA3 gets the relevant data.
But when I execute the datasource 1CL_OMAT001, it does not retrieve any data.
Just to clarify: The SBIW node says "Maintain Data Sources for Classification Data".
Does it mean, it will extract data from the CLASSIFICATION tab of the MM03.
B'cas I am interested in the "BASIC DATA 2" tab -> Client Specific Config-> Configure Variant (button).
Thanks

Stock of variant material in variant configuration

hi gurus,
im doing variant congiguration in that i have some doubts,
for example if i'm doing varian config for a car
here variants are engine,gearbox,colour etc.
now my doubt how can we maintain stock for these variants,and also when i make a sale order if i use variant config i can not see display of the variant material i can see only the header material.
actually i need to see those variants also in the sale order like BOM.
please give me some suggestions how can i go about?and if there is any configurationis required for this to happen pls do explain me,
with regards
vijay

Hi,
No.. there is no need to maintain the stock for the variants. The variant classes will be maintianed in your material master 'classification tab'.
Once you setup the variant material, raise a sales order for the material and raise the stock with reference to the order.
As it is make to order, you are not keeping the material in stock. You are manufacturing the material upon customers request.
Hope you are clear.

Stock of Material with Variants (Multiple Characteristics)

Good Evening All !!!
As per the customer requirement we have configured the material with a combination of Material Group Hierarchy & material characteristics.
e.g. Frame with the characteristics like Color, Size, Gender etc. (these can be different with each new frame).
I have also configured the batch management for these type of materials. Now, if I want to see the stock of all the materials with there variants where and how can I see that (apart from going in MMBE and right click on batch number ). Customer want to see the whole stock in a single go.
One more thing I would like to know, which all tables are involved in variant configuration, is there any table where system saves the variant details. So we could see all the variants present in the system.

There is just nothing, you need to develop it yourself. You are not the first who asked for it. Search SCN with: stock report classification
You get above 500 hits, browse through the results, on each page you will probably find 3 discussions that talk about this.
We have such a report, but you cannot expect to see all and everything in one list.
I am right now in a merger project having 2 million materials with 16000 different classes and more than 6000 characteristics. Now imagine you develop a report like MB52 and add columns for the characteristics.
If you are having only 1 class with 5 characteristics for all all your materials then there will not be a major problem, but what shall be displayed in which column if you have many classes with less overlapping characteristics.
You see there cannot be anything like that "ready-to-use" made by SAP, as it would rarely fit to any companies need.

Consuming Material Having Variant Configuration

HI
We are using Variant Configuration for our semi finished product and its
batch managed.There are two plants in one plant say A and B. In A plant
we are using Variant configuration.The same material is stock transferred
to plant B and is further processed.
We are creating CIR in plant B. After taking MRP run we are converting
planned order to purchase requisition and subsequently Stock transfer
purchase order on Plant A. When the material is produced in plant A,it is
transferred to plant B on stock transfer order mentioned above. But the
material is against CIR in plant B. We remove the material from CIR
through 411E movement and system keep it as free stock in unrestricted.
Now when i am consuming this material for further processing in
production order of Material getting manufactured system is asking me for
Variant Characteristics.
System should not ask me variant characteristics once it has been removed
from CIR i.e. special stock.
Any Work around avilable.
Regards,
Anand.

Hi Anand,
Finally, I could understand your issue from your CSS message.
In your description, AA is configurable material in both plant A and plant B, BB is not a configurable material in plant B, AA is a component of material BB, so when you produce BB, there will be dependent requirement generated for AA from BB, now you want to use the stock of AA to fullfill the dependent requirement, however, the system will require you to enter the characteristic at that time.
Then where is the stock of AA comes from? I have mentioned this in my previous reply. But as I have mentioned it is not correct to have unristricted stock for the configurable material, therefore, your process to have free stock of AA is not correct.
Another point is that, your process to have configurable material as a component of a non-configurable material is also not proper.
For example, material BB is a Car, material AA is the Door of the Car, your Car is not configurable, but the Door is configurable, you may have green door and red door according to the configuration, but as your car is a firmed material then what's the meaning to have different door, if you want to have different door, then that means you also need to have different color of the car, like green door for green car, red door for red car, then that means your car should be also a configurable material to make you can select the color of the car too.
Or if your Car is a firmed material as green car, then do you think there is any meaning to configure the door of the car? Unless you do want a red door for a green car, but this can also be realized with a configurable car.
So normally, like your situation, you should use multi-level configuration structure to do the production in make to order scenario.
Therefore, still the problem has been described in my previous reply, no matter how you get the stock of AA, the AA is produced with the configured configuration module, so the stock of AA is also with the configuration data, then no matter how you want to consume the stock of AA, system will always ask for the characteristic of the requirement to compare it with the stock configuration to see if they are same.
For example, you are producing your Car, but as far as I can see you should have no place to configure the door in production order, therefore when you try to consume the door, the system will of course need to know which color you want, because if you want red door but there is only stock of green door, then how the system should do in your opinion?
Then finially, the best way of solving your issue is to have material variant for the configurable material, like the door, you may have material variant as green door and red door, if your firmed Car is green car, then you can use green door as the firmed component, if your firmed Car is red car, then you can use red door as the firmed component, also when you do the production, you could simply produce the green door directly without configure the door, because the material variant is a stockable item but the configurable material is not, then your scenario would be very simple and there will no such problem any more.
If you do still want to keep your scenario, but don't want the system requires you enter the charateristics, then you may have to do the modification of the goods movement transaction to disable that, but it may lead to the inconsistency situation, like actually you want red door, but what you have in stock is green door, without that, you may consume the green door stock for the red door requirement, then it will mess up all the following process.
Also as you are doing the goods movement in MM transaction, so if there is user-exit could be used to change this behavior is decided by MM function, however, base on my checking there will be no such user-exit to control this behavior at MM side, because the consequnce is really dangerous for the system operation.
Therefore, I think the best way for you is still adjust your production scenario to make your production standard, then SAP system will accept that standard production scenario under your requirement.
Thanks and regards,
Rachel

Packaging material of varying size

UOM of my material say x is each. And they are manufactured in lots depending on order. During shippment they are packed some times in cartoons and some times in guinea bags.Also depending on the available cartoon size no of material packed can vary. Please help me in mapping all this.

Hi friend,
you can use the UOM conversion by using the Additional data tab in Material master
there you can define the Alternate UOM.
Thanks Satya

"Generic" material master in MRP run

Hi
Our business users want to use MRP to manage the stock of materials such as circuit breakers. There are however many manufacturers/types and while a certain specification is required, they would be happy to purchase from a variety of suppliers whose products could be different from one another.
Would it be possible to use MRP to do this, and how could that be achieved?
The process envisaged would be something like this:
Material number xxxxx with MRP settings defined; stock falls beyond prescribed level.
System must generate requisition indicating requirement for circuit breaker in general
Procurement must get quotations from variety of suppliers (as per tender and procurement policy) based on minimum specification.
Quotations received must be evaluated and based on price/quality, the supplier selected and order placed.
Item must be received against specific material number yyyyy for that supplier's circuit breaker.
Any suggestions much appreciated.
thanks and regards, Lara

you can only receive an item which is specified in the purchase order.
if the purchase order has XXXX then you cannot receive YYYY, you have to receive XXXX and then either use a 309 movement to get it to YYYY, or even better using a production order to make YYYY from XXXX.
Further if you plan XXXX and procure YYYY, then this order does not reduce the requirement for XXXX, and the next MRP run will give you again a requisition for XXXX.

Process order with variant configuration material

Hi,
I create a process order for a material XX.
This material has a BOM with a material that has variant configuration "class type 300" for price configuration.
When I save the process order I get a message saying "There are still characteristics for components to evaluate". I dont want to evaluate this material in my process order.
What can I do to not have this message?
Regards.

Hi all,
Yes, I work with variant configuration. But sales orders are not involved.
What I do is:
1) I create a purchase order for material X (this material belongs to a BOM), this material has variant configuration. I give a value to the characteristics in the PO.
2) I create a process for a material XXX that has a BOM (material X is in the BOM and cannot be removed).
3) When I save the process order the system asks me to evaluate again the characteristics. This is what I dont want it to do.
Any ideas?
Regards.

Alternative unit of Measure for variant material

Dear All,
Here is an interesting scenario,
There is a naterial Billet with two variant characteristics length and size. and base unit of measure is TON. Now alternative unit of measure is PCS. How can define the conversion factor on the basis of these two variant characteristics.
In normal material (without variant char.)
we can define conversion factor 1PCS= 2TON
For variant material,
For the material Billet with variant charc length and size how can i define conversion
so that system calculates diff. PCS with diff. length and size but material is same. So how can i Do that.
for example for same material Billet but variant char. Length is 6 M and size is 120*120 ,its wt will be 2 TON for 1 PCS.
for the same material Billet with variant char. length 12 M and size 120*120, its wt will be 12TON for 1 PCS.
How can i cater this for the same material.

Hi Shoaib,
We have faced the similar scenario for steel industry. Based on my experience, it is not possible to define variable values for Alternative UOM conversion with the variant characteristic/configuration, specially if you want SAP to maintain inventory with variable conversion rate.
Use the Batch specific unit of measure for this situation.
1) Create batch specific UOM i.e. Ton_per_pc (TOP) --- User proportional unit conversion
2) Create batch characteristic ton_per_pc and assigned UOm.
3) In material master additonal data select proportion unit and enter the standard conversion rate between ton & pcs.
4) While doing GR - In batch creation you can enter whatever the conversion rate is and Inventory will be updated accordingly.
Regards,
Ravi.
