Regarding Validation on Charactersticites of given Configurable Material.

Hi All,
I am working on BDC in whcih I am getting the charactersticites of the configurable materials in Flat File. Now the Problem I am facing is that when a particular characterstic is not associated with that configurable material the program is not updating any of the charactersticites associated with that configurable material.
How can we check the validity of the given charactersticites for that configurable material ? Or is there any other logic how I can update the charactersticites for that configurable material.
Points would be rewarded....
Thanks in Advance.

Hi,
You can use variant configuration for selling the colored fabric. Use the basic fabric as raw. and maintain variant configuarations to have many variants.
Please use strategy 25. When you run MRP the planned orders will be generated and will be assigned to the sales orders. You can see it on the account assignment tab.
In material master pleasse maintain Individual collective requirement indicator to 1-individual in the MRP-4 view.
Then the stocks will be reserved to the specific sales orders.
Thanks and regards

GATP allocation check for configurable material with characteristic

Hi APO Gurus,
We are using configurable products and wanted to go for GATP allocation check based on Characteristics.
The scenario is goiven below,
All our products are configurable materials. At the entry of sales order , the characteristic values are updated and then the sales order is checked for GATP.
When the order come to APO-GATP for allocation check , here I want to check the allocation for configurable material.
But the allocation quantities are given for a combination of Configurable material and its characteristics.
How can we map such scenario?
Do I to create the CVC at family level that is configurable material level ?
How the characteristic values are considered in allocation.
Waiting for your reply.

Costing Of Configurable Material

We have a scenario here.
We create the sales order in the sales Plant
We do a STO to Production Plant where explode the BOM which has an configurable sub-assembly
When we run an MRP this creates a another STO for the configurable material to be produced in the supplying plant.
Now, the questions are
1) How do I create the cost estimate for the configurable material
2) How do I get it to reflect in my parent order.
Thanks
Siva

Dear Siva,
In the case of configurable material,they will be having a super BOM and super Routing defined with object dependencies.
To do the costing for configurable material you can use T code - CU50 (configuration simulation)
Here in CU50 you can select the characteristics values which ultimately selects the valid BOM and Routing required for variant
production and do the costing and check.

Problem while creating PO from SO for a Variant configurable material

Hi
i am facing a problem when i am creating a Purchse order from a Sales order.
the material is a variant configurable material and we are creating a Sales order in Future date say in june.
For one of the materials in the SO the configuration is different today and the configuration is different in June.
Today the BOM contains different materials and in june there is a different bom for the material.
and according to my understanding the BOM gets exploded on the basis on the delivery date in SO.
here on the basis of the config which is valid in june materials are getting picked and that is correct.
when i try to creat a PO out of that SO i could see that the BOM gets exploded and correct materials are picked but i get the error message that inforecord for one of the componentes is not there.
but that component is not getting selected in the config..and it is not there in BOM in june.
It is there in the BOM today but not in JUNE.
I dont understand why the system is refering to that componeent and throwing this error
please help
Thanks & Regards
sarika

You may try creating two BOMs -- one speicfic to the date of order.

Creation of Sale Order for configurable material with availability check.

Hi,
We have a scenario in which the material is configurable. The configurable material (X) has few variants (Ex: X1, X2, X3, X4, X5). While booking the sale order, we use the material number (X).
Further, the material planning is done for the variants X1, X2, X3, X4, X5. The standard variants are planned for production in advance.
1.     While booking the sale order, we want the availability check of the stock (type matching to happen). What needs to be done in configuration?
2.     While booking the sale order, there is a possibility that the configuration selected will not match with any of the standard variants due to some additional requirements of the optional features, in such cases how to link the standard variants to the sale order & create requirement for additional requirements.

Umesh

Hi Umesh,
           1.Create material master for configurable material and variants in mm01.
           2.Maintain BOM for the configurable material in CS01
           3. Configur the variant configuration steps
              a. Create charecteristics T.code CT04
              b. Create values and assign classes
              c. assign the values to charecteristics
              d . Maitain dependence T.code CU01
              e.create configuration profile t.code CU41
              f.stimulate the configuration profile.
4. Do the availability check configuration through this path
IMG --> Sales and distribution > Basic functions ,> Availabilty check and Transfer of requirements.
5. Maintain the Availbility check field and MRP views in the material masters other wise you sit with PP people and do that
I hope it will help you

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.

Configurable material in scheduling agreement

When I use DS scheduling agreement with LPN as item category with configurable material, I cannot input value for configuration. But if I use normal TAN instead of LPN, I can input value for configuration.
Why?
Does SAP do not allow configurable material in scheduling agreement or quantity contract?
Thanks in advance for any suggestion.

Deat Amy,
Please check the item category settings related to configuration through VOV7 transaction.
Go to VOV7 transaction then select item category LPN then go in to the detain here you check the configuration related settings under Bill Of Material /Configuration tab.
If want you refer the standard Config.at Mat.Levl itemcategory TAC settings, same way you can do settings for your item category then try.
Note:- Not advaisable to change the standard one, so you copy the standard itemcategories do the changes,
I hope this will help you,
Regards,
Murali.

Material variant replacement in sales order for Configurable Material

HI
I am using variant configuration. In this i have created material A as configurable material and have Preconfigured Material B as its variant by assigning configurable material in MRP 3 view.
Now when i am creating Order for material A i.e. Configurable material and the characteristics values are same as that of Preconfigured material system is not replacing Configurable material with Preconfigured material.
Please help me out.
Regards,
Anand.

Even after maintaining the item category MTAC(Mills Make to order config at mat level), the configurable material is not getting replaced in the sales order (va02). It is just showing material variant exists for the configurable material.
The setting in item category for configuration is.
Config. Strategy 01(Sales Order Strategy (TAC, TAM))
Mat. Variant Action 4 (Replace configurable material (Append and change))
ATP material variant 2 (Do not substitute if not completely available)
Structure scope D (Configuration, poss. with BOM explosion)
I have maintained the stock for material variant as well to take care of ATP material varinat setting shown above.
Please suggest if missing something.

Create a configurable material with reference to another config material

Hi,
I want to create a configurable material with reference to another configurable material from different system.
Please tell me what data i need to check to see if that material has been created (copied manually) successfully.
Thanks.

Hi,
In case of configurable material most important thing is configuration so please check weather the configuration is copied perfectly with all characteristics or not. Similarly check the valuation class and price control is proper or not.

How to do the Partial delivery for configurable material ?

Hi All,
I am creating a sales order for a configurable material and is trying to do the partial delivery for the same. But, after the outbound delivery the status of the sales order is shown as completed although I have done the partial delivery.
Here are the steps I followed.
1. material I used here is a configurable material.
Main settings.
a. In Basic Data tab, marked as configurable
b. Procurement type='E' in MRP 2 tab
c. Strategy group as 82 in MRP 3 view.
2. I created a sales order for quantity 10
3. Created a production order followed by goods Movement thereby increasing the stock.
4. Did the outbound delivery for quantity 5.
Now if I checked for the status of the sales order using VA02, the status for the line item as well as for the sales order was "Completed" although I had done partial delivery.
I have checked for setting in Customer master record, item category in VOV7. Everything seems to be fine.
I checked for all the information in the FORUM without any help.
Can you please help me?
Kind Regards,
Anupama

Hi,
For Info, I am creating a sales order for Item category TAC.
1. In my case, after completing the partial delivery, in the document flow for Order, the status is shown as completed.
2. In status overview for this item, delivery status indicator is set as 'Fully delivered'.
I did check in the customer master record and the field
Partial delivery per item is set to Blank( Partial delivery allowed)
3. I did run the report RIBELF20 and I am getting this error for all the sales order I created for partial delivery for configurable material.
For Normal item, the status is showing properly.
Is there any other settings I have to check?
I needed this to be working. Please help
