Dear Tej,
I checked the transaction code as told. OMSL is not helpfull. I need to restrict the user to give the material number atleast 18 character....
In OMS2 following description is available in MM:
External Number Assignment Without Validation
Use
In the case of external number assignment, this indicator tells the system not to check the material number entered on the screen against the number range. In this case, the material number assigned must contain at least one letter, and not consist only of figures.
If I check the system will not check the external number assigned with the number range in the system MMNR transaction code

Material Determination BAPI

Hi ,
Can any one let me know what is the BAPI used for
Functional module =SD_Material_Determinations.
BAPI for Material Determination?

Hi!
I don't know the details of article replacements, but in general: that's the way it should work.
If there is no stock or some other article blocks (no sales period, X-chain status...), then the replacement article should come into the documents.
Also a creation by BAPI is no exception from business point of view - it has to follow the same rules as an online creation. OK - your customer requirement is currently different.
But if the creation should be with article A, then the replacement customizing (also for online creation) has to be adjusted.
By the way, isn't BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2 up to date?

Production Order with follow-up material unble to save due to error CKBK009

Dear Expert,
When we apply discontintion/follow-up material setting, production order is not able to save. Error message "CKBK009 - No price could be determine for material.....".
SAP Help indicates :
"No price could be determined for material .......... Message no. CKBK009
Diagnosis :
The system could not determine a price for valuation view 0, because no valuation
strategy succeeded from valuation variant 006.
System Response :
Since the input quantity is zero for this material item, the costing result is not
affected by this error at the pricing stage.
The standard system defines this message as an error message. However, you
can use user-defined error management to specify that the message is a warning
or an information message, or that it is not issed at all.
However, in Controlling's User-Defined Error Management, CKBK009 is already warning only.
What other setting is needed ?
Thanks for helping !

CK11N Follow-up material not taken into account when costing

We are running the standard cost with quantity structure and we have detected that all the follow-up information is not taken into account to determine the bill of materials that will be used to calculate the standard cost.
SAP helpdesk has answered me the following:
"The situation in product cost planning is we do not check availability of any material stocks, and therefore we cannot provide the same functionality as MRP. You will have to create a new BOM that includes
the follow-up material or apply the modification to take into account the follow-up part."
Please, if anyone knows any user-exit we could use to develop something to fix it, we would appreciate it very much. It is a normal process and we can not say it does not work.
Regards, and waiting for any solution.

Dear,
Are you getting these reservation in MD04?
Check the Planning file entry for these material in MD21 if not then create it through MD20 and take MRP run with planning mode -3 Deleted and recreated. And Processing key NETCH.
Also check the The firmed receipt is within the rescheduling horizon. The rescheduling horizon is set in Customizing for the MRP group (Transaction OPPR, Table T438M). A default value can be predefined in the Customizing of plant data (Transaction OPPQ, Table T399D). define the longer duration for it.
The firmed receipt (the MRP element) participates in the rescheduling check. You can set which MRP elements participate in the rescheduling check in the Customizing of the plant data (Transaction OPPQ).
Else you can carry out modification A using the MD_CHANGE_MRP_DATA BAdI and the CONSIDER_RESB method without making a modification.

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.

Material Determination based on Availability

Hi SD gurus,
I have a client requirement as below:
We create order via BAPI. Data comes from ext call center system.
Whenever Matnr A is entered in Sales order & it is not available then Matnr B should come.
1: I know that we can handle this in Material Determination. I did req. config in IMG
2: I have created VB11 stating that MATNR A should be substituted by Matnr B. I have ticked the MRP ind in VB11 as well.
Now the question is:
When I enter MATNR A in sales order, & assuming its not available then, MATNR B will come in Sales order.
In my case it is happening. But whenever this happens what should be the item category of the MATNR A & MATNR B?
Please let me understand how will standard SAP behave.
I thought the item A should appear as Text item & probably item B should become relevant for delivery & pricing.
But currently I am getting item category TAX for item A & TAPS for item B in sand box. Is that correct?
What should be the standard item categories in this case?
regards

Hi,
The system runs several checks on on each possible substitute, for example to determine if the customer would accept the product based on the product attributes and current stock availability.The system checks substitute materials until the order quantity is satisfied, or until there are no more possible substitutes.
When a valid alternative is found, the system creates a sub-item for it, using the item category that you have defined for the main material in Customizing.
If there is not enough inventory for the alternatives to cover a required quantity, the system confirms only the available amount and ignores the rest. The main item contains information on the confirmed quantity of the sub-item, but is not relevant for planning. For this reason, the material shortage is not passed on to planning.
If you set the material requirements planning indicator for one of the alternatives, however, the system creates an additional sub-item for this material, assigning it a confirmed quantity equal to zero, and a required quantity equal to the open quantity. Since this material is placed as the final alternative in the substitution, it captures any remaining quantities. The system takes this item into account and passes the material shortage on to planning.
Based on your settings Customizing, the system performs pricing at the main or sub-item level.
There are two separate item categories in sales documents for product selection. The item category TAX contains specifications for the main item (original product). The other, TAPS, contains specifications for the sub-items (substitute product).
Review the item category configurations in the standard system. If these do not meet your requirements, perform the activities in the following topics to modify the item category configuration, or create your own categories. Note that if your product selection procedure requires that pricing be done at the main item instead of the sub-item, you will have to create new item categories.
The following examples detail how pricing is carried out at the main item level and sub-item level for product selection.
Pricing at the Main Item
the price for the order is determined based on the price condition records for the main item only. You have deactivated pricing for the sub-item category, so the system does not determine a price for it. Since both the main item and the sub-item categories are relevant for billing, the prices (even if there is no price) are copied to the invoice and billed accordingly.
Pricing at the Sub-item
the price for the order is determined based on the price condition records for the sub-items. You have deactivated pricing for the main item category, so the system does not determine a price for it. Since both the main item and the sub-item categories are relevant for billing, the prices (even if there is no price) are copied to the invoice and billed accordingly.

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.

Sarosh

Material Determination use stock of discontinued material

I am trying to determine if there is a way in R/3 to have a material replace an older material but as sales orders are entered take into consideration any inventory that might still remain of the discontinued material. Here is an example.
1.) We have 15 EA of Material A in inventory in Plant 123
2.) We are going to discontinue Material A and replace with Material B in this plant
3.) VB11 Condition Records are setup for the A to B substitution for order entries
4.) Order for 20 EA for Material A comes in
I would like to see a requirement tp use the 15 from A that are still inventory and then place an order for the remaining 5 on the new Matl B (from Mfg or whomever provides).
Is this possible using the condition records for material determination and the follow-up material options on MRP4 view?

Hi Bill,
This is possible using standard SAP functionalities.
Now considrer a situation where you are creating VB11 record for material A(to be discontiniued) which is to be substituted by material B. And the need is to deplete the available stock of material A first and then start substituting it with material B.
In order to achieve this, while creating a record in VB11 firstly create a record for replacing mat A by mat A , then double click the record line that you have created, which will pop up a small window giving you options to enter mutiple alternatives apart from mat A. where you can you can enter material B as the second alternative/replacement after mat A.
The sequence of material is important to decide which material is considered as the replacement by the system.
In our case system will first replace mat A by mat A and search for stock availability, if sufficient stock or no stock available it will replace the original mat A with the alternative material entered in the VB11 record i.e. Mat B.
Another important thing to note while creating VB11 record is a check box available as "MRP Indiciator" now this indicator plays an important role while transferring requirement to MRP.
In our case we have Mat A which is being disontinued so we dont want the requirement for mat A to be transferred to MRP incase of shortage, instead we want the requirement for material B to be transferred for MRP.
In this case you need to check the MRP indicator box for Material B. if not checked the requirement for Mat A would be transferred to MRP.
Hope this clarifies your questions.
Thanks,
Kishor

Copy control for material determination sub item

I had created material determination sub item(TAPS) correctly on sales order, but when I use VL01N, the sub item does not copy into the outbound delivery.
My item level of delivery copy control configuration (VTLA) is as below:
order requirement: 101
item date: 110
Does anyone offer some suggestion?
Thanks!

Our case is:
standard sales order type "KB":
item_number          item_category         material_number          Qty
10                          TAX                         A                                  10
11                          TAPS                       B                                    1
12                          TAPS                       C                                    9
but the result of standard outbound delivery "LF" that I created from foregoing order is:
item_number          item_category         material_number          Qty
10                          TAX                         A                                  10
20                          TAPS                       A                                  10
I would like to know where the configuration should I make a modification for correct delivery to resemble the following:
item_number          item_category         material_number          Qty
10                          TAX                         A                                  10
20                          TAPS                       B                                    1

Do u know any BADI or FM can do this. Rewarded with points.
Thanks,

Material determination occuring irrespective of the plant

Dear Gurus,
I am creating a sales order through a standard inbound Idoc.
The material determination condition table consists of the following fields:
'Sales org./Distr. Chl/Cust Hier/Plant/MatEntered'.
I have maintained a condition record for this access for the plant BE01.
Now, even the Idoc is creating an order for the plant BE02 - the condition record mentioned above is getting determined!
Hence, it seems that the condition record is being picked up irrespective of the plant (in the condition record & the document).
Do you have any pointers to the possible reason(s) for this issue?
Thanks in advance for your help
SR

Hi
I suppose the Material might have been maintained in X plant and CMR data assigned plant should be Y plant and that is the reason you are facing this problem.So check the following data :
Firstly , Check wheather the Material Determination record has been maintained for both the plants or not.
Secondly also check wheather both the Materials are maintained in both the plants or not.
Finally check in CMR data which plant has been maintained.
Regards
Srinath
