Regarding Material determination

Hai All,
      I want to repalce a material with another material if the availability of the particular material is not sufficient.
     My problem is whenever i am entering the material in VA01 the the material which we have specified in VB11 is getting automatiaclly replaces eventhough there is enough availability for the material that we have entered.
      Whether there is any option for specifying the material determination should be taken place only after availabilty check.
     Could any one of you clarify my query?
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
S.Jenibalet.

Hi Jenibalet,
The simplest way to stop replacement in case stock is available is to use the Material Determination Requirements along with functional call to Stock checking functional module. Use VOFM and go to Requirements for Material Determinations. You can create your new Requirement which will go and check whether the material is in stock via using the Function module call to stocks and if stock exists then make the sysubrc = false and exit from the determination procedure. This way replacement will not happen if the stock exists.
Thanks

Regarding Material Determination and free goods determination

Hi Gurus,
I understand the Material Determination to be substitution of a new material for the old one for any possible reasons such as sales Campaign,non availability etc.
Could anyone one explain the concept whether material determination and Free good determination can co-exist in a sales order ?
How to substitute by material determination procedure for a free good in a sales order?

S.Ravi kumar

Free goods with combination of material determination

Hi All,
I have Materil X for this free good is Y. But for material Y there is material determination with A. In this case what will happen while i am entering the material X in the sale order/
As of my knowledge freegoods don't support for any special function like BOM & vairant config. I don't know about the material det.
Please clarify this doubt.
Regards
Sunil

Hi Sunil,
You can see Material Determination and Free goods as two seperate issues.
For material X, Material Y will be a free good only when material Y is available in stock. The system will not substitute materiail Y with material A just because you have material determination configured for the same.
On the other hand, if you enter material Y on its own i.e. seperately at the line item level of the sales order..........then material determination will occur and the item will be substituted by material A.
See both of them as two seperate scenarios.
Hope its clear.............

Material Determination error during Transaction DP90

Dear Experts,
I am configuring the Depot Repair scenario for a Hitech Industry.
The Process is as follows;
1. Ceating the Notification
2. Creating a repair order using Notificaion. and getting the repaired items in to the plant
3. Creaing and confirming the service order and delivering the repaired product to the customer.
4. Creating a Billing Request using service order during transaction DP90.
I am facing the following error!!! -
Material Determination error in the service order line item xxxxx/xx!!!!!!
I have configured the DIP Profile YBR00099 as below.
The characteristics Activity Number, Activity Type and Cost Elemnt were given the Material Determination Check.
The source is---- " Actual Costs and Line Items " with 100 Percent, No sets are used for the source characteristics.
In the Material Determination a Blank Item is used with a Check for the field " Material Direct"
In the Material Determination Criteria for the Blank Material, it is configured as below;
Activity Type            No Set Used - No Value used
Activity NUmber        No Set Used - No Value used
Cost Element           YBR-Material-01(Set values are 608110 and   * )
Note : the above configuration was done using the Config guide AS IS.
The material that was used in the Service order is not maintained in the ODP1 transaction ---> Material Determination.. instead ,only a blank material is used and configured as above.
The subsequent Process should continue as follows;
5. After saving the billing request, two more line items are determined in the repair order.
6. Debit memo is created using the repair order. where the Actual confirmed hours of service and spare parts confirmed if any are billed for the customer.
Basically I am very much new to this RRB concept and I was facing the above error and could n't be able to proceed further.
Please help me in this regard.

You can use transaction VBN1 for assigning free goods.
Select discount type as ZFRG.
Select appropriate key combination.
You can restrict the free goods validity using Valid on - Valid To option.
Reward points if answer is useful.

Shipping point was not determine in the order with material determination.

Hi,
I´m using material determination for my sales order, and i need to determine the Shipping point with storage location configuration. So when I add the material number, the quantity and the storage location the material determination runs and in the second line determined the shipping point it is not filled. Any body knows how can I fix this problem?
Best Regards

Hi
The shipping point will be determined on the basis of shipping condition, loading group and the delivering plant.
The storage location dependent shipping point determination is used only in delivery documents and not in sales orders (Assign Shipping Points According to Storage Location).
To activate this you must first Define Rule for Determination of Shipping Point, wherein you can assign the rule to the delivery document only and not to the sales order.
If you say that you are getting the shipping point determined based on the number of the material, the quantity and the storage location entered(though it is not) then here note that you are entering the storage location only to the material entered and not to the material determined. When the system determine the alternate material then the shipping point will be determined on the basis of shipping condition, loading group and the delivering plant as per SAP standard process.
Try by entering the storage location to the material determined and check whether you can get the shipping point or not and let the forum know the result.
Hope this helps you.

How to check the analysis of material determination in sales order

hi,
We are trying to create a sale order with material determination. Material determination analysis is on. After switching this on while adding a new line item, in an existing sales order, we are able to do analysis as the system itself takes us to analysis screen. But once the document is saved, we need analysis to be done at material determination for the determined materials , something similar to pricing or account determination analysis.Please help
Regards,
Aparna.

Hi,
If you drag the line item a little towards the right side, you will find a filed material entered. The one you see in the material filed on sales order over view screen is the one determined. You can as well double click and see the fields material entered and material determined.
Is there anything else you are expecting to see as part of analysis ?

Material determination-out of stock matls to be excluded from matl.subst.

dear experts,
my scenario: i´m using material substitution (reason 005 - Manual matl selectn) with Strategy "A" (substitute products are displayed for selection) - to offer several materials when user enters the material name in va01. i need to exclude materials which are currently out of stock from this selection. any ideas?
thanks a lot.

hello, Zuzana.
i believe the availability check in material determination only works with automatic selection, or selection in the background. perhaps you may need enhancements to allow manual selection only for materials that are in stock.

Material Determination in Sales Order BOM

Dear Gurus,
We would appreciate any solutions and/or suggestions you can provide for our problem below:
Background:
Part XYZ is a sales BOM which contains 3 components: A, B, and C. Component B has a material determination (product substitution/interchange) with material B1, B2 or B3.
Requirement:
When a customer orders part XYZ, and if component/material B is not available in stock/shortage, then any or all of the product interchanges may be used to fulfill the order until the full order quantity is confirmed.
Problem:
We are able to explode the BOM to its components but unable to generate the product interchanges for component B in the sales order.
Could you please help? Thank you very much.
Best regards,

BOM+Free Goods+Material Determination

Hi,
My company want to give free goods in Bill of materials.But system is not accepting that.How can we do that?
I am getting the same problem with Material Determination and Free Goods combination.When i configure material determination for a material which is having free goods system is not showing...any idea?
Points for sure.

Hi,
The constraints for free goods in SAP are as follow
Constraints
Free goods is currently only supported on a 1:1 basis. This means that an order item can only be
the source of one free goods item. This means that agreements involving relationships such as
'Buy material 1 and get material 2 and material 3 free of charge' or 'Order material 1 and material
2 together and get material 3 free of charge' are not supported.
Free goods is not currently supported in combination with material structures (e.g. product
selection, bills of material, variants with BOM explosion).
Free goods is currently only supported for sales orders with document category C (not for
quotations, for example).
Free goods is not currently supported for deliveries without reference to a sales order.
Free goods is not currently supported for make-to-order production, third-party order processing
and scheduling agreements.
Hope it helps you.

Material Determination and IDOC/EDI

Hi Gurus,
I'm wonder if someone can help me on this:
1) Material Determination is already configured.
2) Master Data already there, to convert EAN codes into Material ones.
3) If I execute VA01, everything is ok, and the EAN code will be substituted by corresponding Material.
4) If I process an IDOC ORDERS01 wich has in E2EDP19 segment, the EAn code with qualifier "003", he gives me an error message, saying that there is no conversion for that material, ( EAN one ), and the process stops with status 51.
What I'm doing wrong ?
Thanks in advance,
Cheers

Try filling the EAN code as material in the IDOc with the Qualifier 003.

VB11 - CREATE MATERIAL DETERMINATION. need a BAPI for this

i have to develop an inbound interface program to create VB11 - CREATE MATERIAL DETERMINATION.
Can any one suggest me if there is any BAPI for doing this insted of going to BDC program .
Regards
Raadha

I don't think there will be any BAPI to do the update as material determination is itself dynamic depending upon which determination type you chose from - the key field combination changes accordingly. Just like updating pricing doesn't have any general purpose BAPI.
I think BDC is the only way out here
