Dear All,
I want to change the material type. Eg. We have material code A (HALB). We have did not used from implementation. Now i want to use the material as a ROH,
but i am not able to change the mateial type, kinldy tell me the flow to change the material type. This material did not have any movement, any open PO`s.
This is very urgent.
Thanks in advance.
Reg/ Shankar G.

Hi,
If you try to change the material type the system will give you the details of why it cannot be changed.
Please try MMAM and look at the rror log it will give you.
If it wil not allow the change then there is definitely some transaction somewher that will need to be deleted etc.
Let us know what the erro log say and we will try to help.
BE CAREFUL - Don't think that the informationmessage is stopping you. The system will issue a message telling you that you are changing the material type from X to Y, just press enter and the change will take place (or you will get details of any errors).

Need Help regarding which Material Type to use for the Scenario

Hi,
Here we are configuring the service scenario.
Suppose Electric Switch of customer flat is not working.
Here in this case I will purchase the switch. And along with service order
I will do the delivery of the Material. Then will raise the Invoice to the customer
with service charge as well as material cost.
Here I will have to run the MRP also for that material to raise the PR if stock goes below
the reorder point.
So I will have to maintain the Purchase view, Sales View & MRP view to that Material.
So in this case which standard material Type can I use for this material? Or I have to create
our own material Type for this material.
Regards,
Pradip

ROH is usually a material type that is supposed to be consumed in production.
HALB is a semifinished good, own produced and meant to consumed in production.
Both are usually not forseen to be sold.
A material that you buy yourself and sell to a customer is a trading good, which is HAWA in SAP.

Dear Gurus,
We are Implementing New Project.
For CAPEX (Capital Goods) What should be Standard Material type to be Used.(ROH,FERT,........Which One among these).
For Engineering goods What should be the Standard Material Type to be used.
With Regards,
PMG

Hi,
You can take material type ROH /or copy the same and make new material type with required valuation class and G/L setting.
And while making PR and PO select account assignment A-Asset and make capital PO accordingly.
Hope this will resolve your issue.

Change material type - any warnings?

A material with very little history exists in the system as a semi-finished item with 1220 valuation class. One purchase order exists that is due in, in two days. No inventory exists. The problem is that the system is not configured to post goods against 1220 valuation class items. So it needs converted to a finished good since the plan is to sell it after it is received from a vendor.
No open orders or other movements exist in the system. Just one new open po that was created today, and could easily be deleted.
So, delete the po then change the material type using MMAM.
Are there any recommendations/warnings someone can offer before this is done?

Hi,
Pre requisites for changing a material types:
1. If you use a material ledger the material ledger must be settled in it.
2.If the old material type did not require you to specify a price control for the material the new material type must not be configured such that it allows only
standard price as price control.
3.If the material is already in stock or reservations exists or purchase orders exists the following conditions must exist.
      1. The stock values of the new material types must be updated in the same
          G/L Account as the stock values of the old material types
     2. Quantities and values of the new material types must be updated exactly as were by the old material types.

Change material type

When i am changing the material type i am getting this msg. In Po items were deleted.

The material type cannot be changed.
The reasons for this are:
Valuated stock exists (see valuation areas below).
However, account determination for the two material types differs.
(different account category reference or no valuation data defined)
Valuation area

No open purchase order are there.

Different Material Types in different Plants

Hi,
I have 2 Plant under a Company Code. A material being produced in plant A has to be sent to Plant B for further processing. I would like to maintain single material master for both the plants, but different Material Types. Material has to be treated as Finished Goods in Plant A and Raw Material at Plant B. Could any one please let me know how I can MAP it in SAP.
Regards,
Nagaraja Achar.

Hi,
For the Same material Code you can not maintain two material types in two plants..
But you can make a Z* mat type with all the relevant views of FG & ROH..
For Plant 1 it will have all the views
and for Plant 2 extend only the ROH relevant views...
Thx

Best Material Type for Handling Non-valuated Materials in Distribution

Our distribution business will soon be handling non-valuated material and I am trying to determine the best material type to use. I am considering material type UNBW but would like to know if anyone has advice. We are strictly providing a service to the vendor for handling these non-valuated materials (for example, wood products). We will not purchase or sell the product. Our service consists of receiving the product into inventory from the vendor, tracking the inventory, (in Warehouse Management) and then shipping the material to a customer of the vendor's choosing. For these non-valuating materials, we are paid strictly for our service of warehousing the material and shipping to a customer.
Up until now, our distribution business has distributed only valuated materials, i.e., materials we purchase at a price and sell at a price. We also use vendor consignment. NOTE: This is not a vendor consignment scenario because we never buy the product.
Here are our requirements:
- We don't own the non-valuated product.
- We need to be able to ship these new non-valuated products on the same shipments as the valuated product we own.
- We use handling unit and warehouse management for all of our finished goods.
- We would like to use our existing processes and HU/WM RF transactions to receive and pick the non-valuated product. This means:
1) Creating inbound deliveries and packing into HUs. And applying our HU bar code labels.
2) Physical inventory counts by HU.
3) Creating sales orders that have both the non-valuated materials and valuated materials we own.
4) Creating outbound deliveries and picking via transfer orders in WM.
5) Assigning the outbound deliveries to a shipment.
Questions:
1) Can a UNBW material that will be stocked but not valuated be received into inventory via a PO? Any way to receive into inventory with an inbound delivery without using a PO?
2) Are there any problems with putting a non-valuated material on a sales order with a zero price?
3) Any challenges that other have run into?
Thanks in advance.
Rob

I must be missing something regarding the use of material type UNBW. When I post the goods receipt for a PO with a UNBW material, no inventory is created. When I create the PO, an account assignment is required. I tried both a cost center account assignment (K) and balance sheet account assignment (Z - using a Profit Center). In both cases, I am forced to check the "Free item" checkbox to avoid entering a price; which also seems strange since the material is UNBW.
I have searched everywhere for a "Best Practice" for my scenario with little results. Again, we are simply managing the inventory for a vendor and shipping the inventory to our vendor's customers. So we are acting as a third pary warehouse and shipper for the vendor. We do not buy or sell the inventory - we are paid a monthly service fee by the vendor for warehousing their product and shipping it to their customers. We may ship the product on sales order deliiveries that include both the "non-valuated" product (i.e., free goods we manage for this vendor) and goods that we actually own.
As an alternative, I am wondering if I should look into somehow using vendor consignment with a settlement price (consignment info record price) of zero. Vendor consignment is nice because you can track the stock by vendor. However, we would never truly "settle" with the vendor because we would not be paying the vendor for the inventory and would never own it.
Our business refers to this as "reload business" but I am not sure this is an industry standard term.
Any other thoughts out there?
