Regarding shrinkage of material in inventory

Hi group,
I have a situation and I would like to have your inputs on this.
From a business process standpoint, when we receive in vendor consigned material (subjected to shrinkage), an accounting entry does not occur since we have not taken ownership. As we use the material we use a goods movement that moves the inventory into the plant and hence triggering an accounting entry. This accounting entry results in creation of an automatic vendor invoice. This is all a part of the standard SAP vendor consignment process at my company.
When shrinkage occurs, we apparently still need to pay the vendor but we wouldnt reflect the pounds/tons coming into our inventory. There must be a way to do a cycle count of the vendor consigned or reflect the inventory loss so we can figure out what we owe the vendor without impacting our inventories.
Is inventory counting before using the material from the consignment only solution to this? Has anyone come across such a situation?
Please reply. Points will be awarded

Hi group,
Let me rephrase the query which i have.
We get some tonnes of a material from a vendor as consignment stock. Now this material shrinks with time. Currently an automatic payment is setup for the vendor whenever we take in goods from the consignment. Now suppose we have 100 tonnes of this stock from the vendor and on the very first day we use 50 tonnes. Now after 15 days we are weighing the material again to ensure how much we have in the consignment and it comes to 45 tonnes. So there is a shrinkage of 5 tonnes. Now is there any way out by which we would take in the 45 tonnes and pay the vendor for 45 tonnes and for the rest of the 5 tonnes the vendor doesnt get paid. Basically we need to move in those 5 tonnes to ensure that the related PO gets closed but we dont want to pay the vendor for those 5 tonnes.
Please let me know if you need any extra information

Difference Between Raw Material and Inventory Account

Hi Experts,
can you pls explain me the difference between raw material account and inventory account opened under Asset Drawer in Chart Of Account ??

Hi Divya.......
There is no difference between raw material and inventory account. Infact the raw material is nothing but stock and stock includes the finished semifinished product also. In short the stock account belongs to the category inventory account.......

SAP PM - Regarding Sending Some Material outside....to get quote

Dear Sir,
I have to send some material to an outside party for repair work. I donot know how much cost is going to incur on this repair work. This spare is a part of machine which is an asset. There is no material or inventory stock for that material. Now, what is the procedure for sending this material to an out side party without PO so that after getting quote, one can raise the PO.
Thanks

hi vinay
if you dont know how much will the cost incurred ,create a maintenance order with the control key of PM03-external service , select the operation and choose external and in the screen select the services , here you have to specify the overall limit and expected value. but be sure overalll limit should be higher than the invoice to be given, just by experience you can put an limit then proceed as per standard.
for detailed procedure foolow the link

Hi Yuval,
This is related to Material Master -0MATERIAL.
Not surebut I think the UoM are getting captured in material master...check it out...else they may be there in either MARA,MARC,MARD or any of the material related tables..check with Functional Consultant.
Enhance the material master with the these UoM and then stamp them in the Cube while loading.
Or
Create a seperate master for this.
For calculations ..you can also make Char as Key Figure and use them calclualtons.....Google how to do it.
Let us know if you require any further info.

I can't create Materialized view with fast Refresh .
Kindly provide solution .
Regards,
nayana chavda.

Kindly provide full Oracle version since option vary by release.
There error message says it is impossible to fast refresh based on a complex query.
On 10g Oracle provides a package procedure that will tell you why the view cannot be fast refreshed: dbms_mview.explain_mview.
Otherwise see the Advanced Replication Manual for a list of restrictions.
10gR2 >>Restrictions for Materialized Views with Subqueries
The defining query of a materialized view with a subquery is subject to several restrictions to preserve the materialized view's fast refresh capability.
The following are restrictions for fast refresh materialized views with subqueries:
Materialized views must be primary key materialized views.
The master's materialized view log must include certain columns referenced in the subquery. For information about which columns must be included, see "Logging Columns in the Materialized View Log".
If the subquery is many to many or one to many, join columns that are not part of a primary key must be included in the materialized view log of the master. This restriction does not apply to many to one subqueries.
The subquery must be a positive subquery. For example, you can use the EXISTS condition, but not the NOT EXISTS condition.
The subquery must use EXISTS to connect each nested level (IN is not allowed).
Each table can be in only one EXISTS expression.
The join expression must use exact match or equality comparisons (that is, equi-joins).
Each table can be joined only once within the subquery.
A primary key must exist for each table at each nested level.
Each nested level can only reference the table in the level above it.
Subqueries can include AND conditions, but each OR condition can only reference columns contained within one row. Multiple OR conditions within a subquery can be connected with an AND condition.
All tables referenced in a subquery must reside in the same master site or master materialized view site.

Regarding reports on material consumption

Hi all
can give me the solution for below
"Material consumption reports this report will generate a report grouped on plants to list the consumption of material in that plant in a year."

see the functionality behind this is
1.A material can be present in different plants " table marc
2.further a plant can have multiple storage locations "tables mard .
so material consumption will be to check how much material is consumed in a year .
This u can do by first calulating the stock present during the year ( as on jan 1 2006) say total stock for that material is 10,000 units (mara-meins)
so in the fiscal year 2006 how much was the material consumed means i need to see how much stock was posted during the year .
say stock avaliable as of 2006 december 31 is 3700 units
so now my material consumption is
10000 (stock present at the start of the year ) - 3700 ( stock present at the end of the year ) = 6300
so 6300 will be ur material consumed .
these details can be fetched from MARD table s
so finally the report will show 10000 37000 and 6300
try to understand the relation between mara marc and mard tables rest is numeric calulation in the internal tables.
i took the dates for example generally it will be posting dates for fiscal year .

vijay

Regarding rejection of material from vendor

Hi All
My scenario is like this
My semi finished material is come from vendor after that i put that material on production after doing all process production done the GR for that material as finished goods. This material goes into quality and here I come to know that the material is rejecting because of vendor. But the GR is done on finished material code so I have to do the material to material transfer by movement type 309. And then reject the material on vendor coz Material code for vendor material is different and material code after production is different
I want to ask is their any other process to map this scenario
Regards
Sachin

Hi,
Sorry for replying late.
Pl. I am not worring about points. My only concern is I should share my knowledge and improve knowledge by following the others inputs.
Whatever the quantity you have to reject against a particular vendor, can be enterered in the complaint quantity.
You have to enter the FG material no., in which you are rejecting in the parent material field.
In the child material field, you have to enter the material no. which you have recd. from the vendor (refer BOM)
After that, you have to scrap the material by using T code QM10.
Then for Return delivery process, pl. discuss with your MM counterpart and for Debit to supplier pl. involve FI/CO counterpart.
My suggestion is that, First write down the Business Process Procedure for material defect found out during processing. i.e your current problem process.

Different characterlistic of material in Inventory

Hi all
Is there a way to distinguish different type characterlistic of a material when GR.
IE
Good Receipt of product A from production. However out of the 100 piece, 30 of them are packed with english manual, 40 of them are packed with chinese manuals, and 30 of them are packed in japanese manuals. However they are the same product.
Is there any way for me to distingush this in inventory ( MMBE ) if i were to use the same material ID ?

Hi
You May create Separate Storage locations as per the Names and store the materials in respective storage locations
Thanks

Hi,
PAss cdhdr-objectclas = MATERIAL
cdhdr-udate = sel. screen value
get all changenr from cdhdr
pass all to the cdpos-changenr & objectclas = MATERIAL
from cdpos-chngind = 'U' means material changed
and if chngind eq 'I' means material entry created.
else, MSTA is already there to just know which mat. created pass ersda value

Error message rgd. Material Movements / Inventory Management

Hello,
We have Problem to load Material Movements data in Inventory Management InfoCube.
On BW-Side we had deleted Inventory Management InfoCube content completely before we started with opening stock, Material Movements.
We have filled set up tables for opening stocks, Material Movements and Revaluation successfully on R/3 Side. We have also filled archive data for Material Movements and Revaluation in set up tables.
We have loaded the opening stock balance into InfoCube. The request containing the opening
stock has been compressed.
We are trying to load the material movements (Initialize delta) into Cube. We get the error message:
u201CThe material XXXXXXXX does not exist or is not activatedu201D.
We have analyzed these materials (from error message) and find out that these materials are already archived on R/3 side but these materials are in Master Data table on BW-Side.
How we can deal with this problem? The BW-System is SAP NetWeaver 2004s (Support
Package SAPKW70016). The SAP R/3-System is SAP ECC 6.0.
We had same proceeding in March 2008 with BW 3.0B and R/3 4.7 and had no problem at all.
Many thanks

Hi,
Hope u have loaded the master data in BW side and also activated the Master data i.e i assume that u have done Attribut change run.

Dear all,
I am working on getting this functionality to work and I would like to include all inventory difference
related movement types. Is this possible with using the follow-on movement types? I think it is, but
would like an answer from some of you.
Thanks and kind regards,
Eric

Hi Sridhar,
thanks for the feedback.
I have one more question. The SAP Documentation states that
"If you want to distribute inventory differences, you must set the indicator distribute differences"
Can you or someone else tell me where to set this indicator?
Thanks and kind regards,
