Requirement of an alternative material

Hi,
i have a requirement for a none stock material NLAG.
Normaly such materials doesnt allow stock. I want to have something as an alternative materialnr which should be used for stock postings.
That means i have several "none stock materials" which should be linked to one material which handles the stock postings.
Perhaps a NLAG material is the wrong material type.
The process should work like that:
- Entering a sales order with the "none stock material" with ATP check to the alternative material
- Delivery with none stock material, but on goods movement side allways with the alternative material
- Invoicing again with none stock material
So that means sales module should work with the "none stock material" and logistic side should automaticaly have the posting one one corresponding material.
Like a group material.
Perhaps somebody has a good idea.
Thanks

Hi carl,
i hava the same problem,
can you show your solution?
Thanks,

Creation of alternative material in production

Dear folks,
I have following requirements:
Customer orders Material A and for some reason (e.g. low stocks), the mrp controller decides to produce an alternative material (B) which is
equal to Material A. This also counts for planned independent requirements.
How can I maintain this in SAP? I tried to use alternative item group in the BOM, but this does not solve my requirement, since this is just a function to assign an alternative BOM position for Material A. I really need to assign an alternative material on header level.
The assignment has to take place before actual production. We cannot use Material Determination (SD) - Transaction VB11.
Any ideas? Is this something we have to develop?
Kind regards,
Peter

How to maintain alternative material in a BOM for a component.

how to maintain alternative material in a BOM for a component.if stock for existing bom component is less then it should consider other alternative material in the same BOM

HI,
You can maintain alternate material for BOM Component by specifying Alternate Item group as below;
Go to CS03/CS02--> Items-> Select Component and go to details->Basic Data Tab--> General Data
Pls. find more details about Alternate Item group maintainance as below:
Alternative item: group
Consolidation of alternative items within a BOM. Every material in the assembly can be included in the alternative item group.
Use
As soon as you enter an alternative item group, you see an additional dialog box with the following data: ranking order, strategy, usage probability.
You can maintain alternative items in the following situations:
Alternative positions with specific usage probability
These alternative items are incorporated with a specific usage probability. Enter the usage probability for each alternative item in the group, so that:
dependent requirements are determined in requirements planning
dependent requirements are changed to a reservation in the production order
Alternative positions as information
You can enter an alternative item for information purposes. This item would then, for example, only be taken into account in situations involving missing parts.
As there should be neither dependent requirements nor a reservation for this item, enter no usage probability.
Procedure
Enter the same character string to denote the alternative items of an alternative item group.
Enter the same strategy for all alternative items in the alternative item group.
Dependencies
Alternative items are valuated in the following way:
Dependent requirements determination
Requirements planning determines the dependent requirements according to the usage probabilities that have been entered.
If the usage probability is 0%, then no procurement is planned for the item. For information purposes, however, dependent requirements with 0 as quantity are created.
Withdrawal posting
You can control the withdrawal posting for the resevation in the production order in the following way:
Withdrawal according to usage probability (manual change is possible)
Withdrawal if there is 100% availability
(Check ranking order and strategy)
Example: See Strategy for alternative position
Further you can also maintain alternate material if you want to stop using this material at certain time as below:
In material master of the material ,
Go to MRP-4 View----> Under Discongtinued parts specify
Discontinuation Indicator
Eff-out.
Follow-up matl
So system will automatically consider follow up material in BOM as per the settings you have maintained for the material to be replaced.
Hope this helps.

Difference between alternative material and Materil substitution

Hi,
Can one explain me the difference between alternative material and material substitution?
Where is alternative material for a material defined?
When is the alternative material used and in which cases material substitution used?
Thanks,
Challa.

Hi,
Altenative material and material substitution is same.Material substitution is normally when the customer want the upgradation of the product or materila is not availabel of the particulat item material substitution is used.
EX: customer order computer older version system automatically replace the ubdated computer.
OR customer order stock is not available also material substitution is use full
U can go VB11 u can give the material determination of the particular product.
Material determination type is - A001
Define substitution reason in OVRQ
in the substitution reason u can give the reason what ever u requirement.

PR( purchase requ) for Alternative material in BOM

Hi PP expert,
I am using alternative material in BOM. As for example my Header BOM material is u2018Yu2019 and his alternative components are X1 and X2
I have done setting in BOM
For -
X1,------
Priority ---1
Strategy - 2 ,100%
Usage prob     100
For -
X2----
Priority -
2
Strategy - -
2 ,100%
Usage prob    -
0
My client want when run the MRP , PR should be generate of material u201CX2u201D ,because there is no X2 stock and Material u201CX1u201D have more stock and want to consume X1 material 1st then X2.
X1 has been blocked for procurement.
Kindly suggest me how will generate PR of X2 when the run MRP. X2 is alternative material..
Regards,
Aqueel

Hi Aqueel!
      As I know, standard SAP cannot solve your problem. Howerver, you can try with these way:
          1/ Try to estimate how long your company will consump all X1(Ex 3 days). Use Alternative BOM 1 for X1, Alternative BOM 2 for X2. And allocate Alt 1 to Production version 1 with valid to 8/10/2010, Alt 2 to production 2 valid from 9/10/2010.
          2/ Change:
          For -
X1,------
          Priority ---2
          Strategy - 2 ,100%
          Usage prob 0
          For -
X2----
          Priority -
1
          Strategy - -
2 ,100%
          Usage prob -
100
And Run MRP, system will take X2 into accout. If you want to savage X1. Need to calculate it and manually change in comonent list of Production order (Now, X2 will consider) with X1 until X1 stock finish.
Hope it can solve you problem(not perfect).

Requirement in conversion of material master data

i have a requirement in conversion of material master data, what do i need to do in this, do i need to use the LSMW or BDC for this scenario can any one help me in this issue.

Hi Rocky,
You can go for either of these two methods.Conversion in the sense you are going to create one upload program for MM01 and will upload the data using the program
But I suggest go for BDC.Because in LSMW you can not capture all the views for material master.
I am writing steps(BDC recording) for this.Just follow if helpful:
1.Go to SHDB t-code.
2.Press NEW RECORDING
3.enter recording name,Transaction code(MM01) and then press Start recording.
This will take you to the transaction MM01,please enter the test data given by your functional consultant.Also select the views that required by client.
4.After recording save it.
5.After saving press program button from the menu.
6.This will take you SE38 with the recording code.
7.Then you do as per normal BDC program,declare internal table and map with the uploaded fields.
Shout me for further clarification.
Reward if helpful.
Thank you.

pl tell how to create alternative material in BOM without creating alternative BOM.
Regards,
Chandra.

Hi chandra
Alternative items can be added to the BOM without alternate BOM.
In change mode of BOM CS 02 go to BOM item details There you can see alternative items with item group
There you can define you items with Priority,usage probability , Strategy,
Alternate item will be selected during MRP run as per your usage probability

Costing shows high value due to BOM alternative material

Hi,
In BOM we have maintained alternative material for few line items.(not maintained alternative BOM) When we do the standard cost run system is taking main material and alternative material value. so the cost of the product is showing high.
How system will behave this situation when doing standard cost estimate? how to avoid this excess value due to adding the alternative material?

Dear Govindaraj,
If there are alternative items maintained in the BOM,then as per the usage probability defined for each
item the cost will be taken.
say for one item if its 60% and for the another if its 40% means accordingly the cost gets captured.
So goto CS03,say Items X and Y are defined under alt.item group A1,now select the first item(row) X
and click on item details and check under Basic tab page you will be able to see the alt.item group
along with priority,strategy and usage probability.
So in CK11N or CK40N,it will be showing as 6 ea and 4 ea along with their prices for costing part.
So as per to the usage prob it picksup for the costing part.
Check and revert back.,

Emergent!! Two alternative material number for one same real material???

Hi Experts
In our company,for some specail requirement,we want to have two material numbers for one same real
material,that means this two materials are substitute for each other. In every transaction, we can
use this both two material numbers.
For example,material number "A123 " and "B456" , these two material numbers are for one real
material, In every transaction we can use "A123 " or "B456".For exmaple ,we can create and release
a production order to produce"A123",and when doing goods receive for this produciton order with
MB31,we could use"B456" for the same production order. And also when we view the stock for "A123" in SAP,we could get the the sum stock of "A123" and "B456".
Is it possible in SAP? How to achieve it that one real material have two different material number??
And how to manage these two different material number??
Thanks for any reply!!

Fei,
The requirement can't be absolutely mapped in SAP.
The reason is the logic behind this is wrong.
May we know why do you want to maintain two separate codes for one real material?
We have option of batch management as well as split valuation to take care of your requirement.
Evaluate these things.
Hope this helps you.

Help required: characteristic values of material

Hi all,
My requirement is to print description of the articles shipped.
The print program is RVADTR00 (print prg for transaction VT02N)
The description of articles means the characterstics
The logic mentioned is as follows:
(Go to KSML, for class# XXXX, to get the internal characterstic KSML-IMERK.
Use IMERK to get all the characterstic values from table CAWN, CAWN-ATWRT)
Now my question is, does the standard program retreive these values into any structure.
Else, do I have to use the above mentioned logic, If yes can you tell me if
there are any standard function modules to find the characterstic values of the class to
which the material belongs.
Thanks

Hi,
Your logic should work but I would prefer to use BAPI_OBJCL_GETDETAIL or function module CLAF_CLASSIFICATION_OF_OBJECTS to get what you need.
Hope this helps.

Open Requirements that have a material status 05 or 06 or set to delete

I managed to get a list of all materials that are in material status 05, 06, or delete. I need to find all the requirements that are opened for these statuses. I am having a heck of a time locating the table that I can input these material numbers and to validate if they have an open requirement, sales order, or PO that needs to be canceled. Thanks in advance and I will reward points.

Hello Kimberly,
First of all, Download all the material numbers which has 05,06 or deletion status. Material field is
MARA-MSTAE (Cross plant status) = 05/06
MVKE-LVORM (Distribution-chain-specific material status) = 05/06
MVKE- VMSTA (Flag for deletion at Distribution level) = X
MARA-LVORM (Flag for deletion at client level) = X
MARC-LVORM (Flag for deletion at Plant location level) = X
MARD-LVORM (Flag for deletion at storage location level) = X
check for all this mateiral if there is any open purchse order (EKPO) /sales order (VBAP) / Reservation or dependent requirements (RESB)
The process the for cancellation
Hope this will be helpful.

Object Oriented Programming - help required to find training material

Hi,
I am working in ABAP for 4 years. I did not get any chance to work in OOPs concept.
However I know how to create classes,methods and how to access methods and attributes of class inside the report program and I hope apart from these we are having many things to learn OOPs ABAP.
Can anyone help me to find OOPs training materials with examples?
Thanks

Hi Colleen,
This is to inform you that, I am not expecting SCN or anyone to spoon feed me. I believe in IT industry Spoon feeding is not going to help in long time to survive. I am also using google,scn,sap technical.com and so many sites for my queries and learning.Please remember I am working in IT for long. Why should I expect people to spoon feed me.
I have posted this question, because already many people might have searched and got some good and best articles with examples. So by believing that I will get good articles from the experts I have posted, but not for spoon feeding.
I agree that whatever you have pointed in this post are good suggestion, but please before answering to such issues, please think in which situation they are seeking other's help.
Everyone's time is very precious. So I will not waste anyone's time and I will not waste my time too. I am not here to raise any concern on anyone. I just needed some help and got from the experts too.
Instead of making this discussion to grow further, kindly close this here itself or remove this thread. I did not expect such sort of communication for asking the best training material for learning OOPs ABAP.
Thanks
