Revision levels of materials

If while uploading purchasing info records or Quality info records, using LSMW we get duplicate entries form the Table due to Revision levels of materials then do we upload the info records for all revision levels or just the latest one..????
And secondly since EINE and QINF table dont have revision levels fields then how do we decide which entry corresponds to latest Revision level

How to map revision level materials to already created inspection plan?

Dear All,
I have created single inspection plan for many existing raw materials. Now it has been found that each raw material have different revision level as well as valid from date.
My inspection plan is created on 02.07.2014 and each raw material has different revision level with valid from date which is also very old (like 11.03.2012 for revision level 09).
My Requirement is: how to correct my inspection plan?, so that it will work for each assigned raw material and there will not be any material revision level wise problem created for the inspection lot so that my inspection lot should be created in REL status in QA32 transaction i.e. inspection lot is assigned automatically as per standard SAP functionality.
Thanks,
Narresh

Hi Amol,
Thanks for your reply.
In this business scenario, we are not creating inspection plan for each raw material because there is similarity in inspection for 40-50 raw materials and total number of raw materials are around 500. This will be very difficult and unnecessarily data creation in the system.
As per my understanding revision level is for material master revision and if material master changes then how it affect so much on inspection plan? also is it means that for every revision in future we will have to create new inspection plan? hence I believe that if I will make back dated inspection plan for raw materials then it may work. Is my understanding is correct?
Expecting much better solution from QM experts.
Thanks,
Narresh

Synchronizing Material Master revision level across multiple plants

Hello,
If an organization uses material master revision level to maintain the details of material's validity across different plants then we see a material master with different revisions in that organization. Now I would like to understand the impact of this practice in big organizations , is it advisable to have a material master with different revisions in different plants? , if not then which is the best way to synchronize these material masters ( with different revision level ), which are already in use?
Bets Regards,
Avinash

Hello Ulf,
Thanks for your reply, the actual issue is..
There are two companies; both are using the same material.
We are building a central system and synchronizing the materials from all companies.
While synchronization, we found that revision level are different across companies.
1.      Should we avoid using revision level in our organization?
2.      If I can find the validity of a material with change no + material + plant, then what is the purpose
         of the revision level?
3.     What will be the impact, if we remove the entire revision level across all companies?
4.     In real world, across different organizations, how revision level is synchronized across companies or at least in the central system.
Please let me know your valuable inputs.
Thanks

Q info record without revision level

Hi
I found out that if the materials is manage by revision level, if the q info record is not maintain by revision level, it will not take effect. This meaning, that the q info record now need to be maintain by revision level as well, additional work.
Anyone come across that it is possible not to maintain the revision level in q info record and it is still working even though materials is manage by revision level and PO is created with revision level.
care to share?

Dear Danny
Yes if the material is maintained with revision level , then quality info record has to be maintained accordingly
I think you can try with this BADI and create with one quality info record applicable for all the revision of the material
QB_Q_INFO_RECORD.
The four reference fields in the Q-info record - material, plant, revision level, and vendor - can be changed using this BADI.This enables a reduction in the number of Q-info records. A single Q-info record can refer to different combinations of the fields mentioned above

ECO number with revision level and release key

Hi All,
I have a requirement from client with regards to Engineering change manangement.
The scenario is that we are maintaining BOM for materials.Whenever a change is required for BOM a ECO number is created with release key.
Once the BOM is changed against ECO number is created a workflow is triggered for approval.
Then it goes through a series of approvals in the heirarchy.In each level the reviewer will propose a new value for the changed line item.
All these changes have to be maintained in record.At the end the final approver reviews all the proposed changes and release the ECO number with the appropriate change.
I had a thought of implementing the above scenario with ECO with revision level and release key.
But I am unable to replicate the scenario due the fact that,when I select the ECO number with release key,I cannot select the material in Object type.
Its disabled.Its available when I create a ECR with release key.
Please suggest a way to create ECO number with release key and revision level for BOM.
Regards
Richie

Hi,
You create the revision level against the material (via MM02, basic data tab)) not against the serial. The serial number, by definition, would be unique to the combination of material and revision.

What are the Uses of Revision Level

Dear All,
I have been searching for articles pertaining to "Revision Level" in the Material Master Record and found out that revision level is used purposely in Engineering Change Management and Document Management System. Is this true?
I want to know if activating revision level can purposely be used also in tracking MRP Tab Changes in material master record. There are some cases that user change MRP Type and reorder levels (minimum/maximum) in the material master record and i want to record this changes and who made this changes. Can this revision level help me on this purpose?
Can anybody please enlighten me on this revision level usage?
Thank you.

It is very much possible. You can try this use case. It's pretty simple. But Vice-versa is not possible.

Revision level in purchase order

Hello all,
when creating a purchase order for a material, the revision level from the material master will be automatically added to the Item-Material Data-Revision Level field.
But what happens if in the meantime the revision level is updated on the material master, I guess the PO will not be updated on that field?
The problem is, I need the updated revision level field on the output of the PO, currently I am using the field EKPO-REVLV in the sapscript which refers to the revision level data from the PO.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Anne

Hi Prakash,
I have tried to use this field in the form: AEOI-REVLV
This should be the original table.
I am using the standard print program for POs: SAPFM06P
Unfortunatelly, somehow the value does not come up for AEOI-REVLV, but it does come up for EKPO-REVLV.
Thanks,
Anne

BOM explosion in subcontracting order according to revision level

Hello experts
I have different revision levels available for a subcontracted material, e.g. the BOM of this material has different versions depending on the validity date.
When a BOM explosion is carried out in the subcontracting order (either in the purchase request or in the purchase order) the selected version of the BOM is done accordingly to the delivery date. It does NOT take into account the revision level even when I change it manually.
Do you have any idea if it is possible to force SAP to consider the revision level instead of the delivery date for the BOM explosion ? (custo, user exit, BAdI, ...)
Many thanks
Amaury

Hi
BOM explosion in Subcon PO will be carried out automatically when you select the item category L.
If you want to control the BOM selection based on the Alternative then you can go with Production version option and get the help from PP consultant to create the production version.
Assign the production version in Subcontracting Inforecord.
Click the BOM explosion button the switch to alternative BOM during the PO creation.
Hope it helps
Thanks/Karthik

Revision level not appearing in material tab of purchase order

hi
I have matained revision level in material master but it is not appearing in material tab of purchase order and print preview of purchase order
regards
Badari

Hi, If u have created proper change no in CC01 with assigned object material with proper validity period u can give revision level to material.
In order to reflect the current revision level on PO printout, the coding in PO print program should be designed accordingly to pick the latest revision level. PO output needs to be re-issued so that the new output can pick the latest information like PO revision level from the master.
Refer below link also for more information,

Inspection Plan/Revision level

Hi PP Gurus,
I have a Problem in Inspection Lot.The system is not reading the new Inspection Plan.
The material is assigned to a Revision level with valid from date 10.12.2007 and the earlier Inspection Plan(Group 21) was also created on 10.12.2007.Now this inspection Plan( Group 21) is deleted and New Inspection Plan(Group 100) is created with the Valid from date 10.04.2008.
I have created an Inspection Lot dated 12.04.2008, Now the system is not reading the new Inspection Plan(Group 100).And the system is giving error "No Insection Plan found" while recording result on the inspection lot.
We cant change the material ECO revision date as this would contravene our traceability record and since, the Revision Level is maintained at Global level so cant afford this to change for other Plants.
Kindly help me to assign the new Inspection Plan to the Inspection Lot.
Thx in Advance
Regards,
Rakesh wade

Hi,
I do not know the impact of revısıon level on İnspaction lot.
But, with reference to the Revısıon Level only the Confırmation wıll work both in Descrete and aswell as in REM.
Say ıf yor Revesıon Level ıs AB, and the date ıs 01.03.2008, then during confirmatıon the sytem will explode the BOM with referenec to this Date.
It may be possıble that there may not be any BOM available on that date then there wıll not be any Components suggested for GI or backflush.
Probably you can corelate the same thıng to your ınspectıon lot... ( inspectıon lot not available etc..)
Hope thıs helps..

How to find revision level

hi my requirement is that,
i have to get the revision level for each material number in a specific plant,
is there any function module which can get this data,
actually this revision level has to be brought from table AEOI table,
but its key fields are
AENNR
AETYP
OBJKT
i donot know how to get these fields.
can some one help.
thanks & rgds.

hi charlie,
thanks for the response,
actually my problem was that the table AEOI had the value to be extracted but i didnot have input fields to retrive that value, what all i had were material number and plant,
so i was asking how to find the link between matnr, werks and fields aennr, aetyp, objkt.
anyways, i found from sdn that, we can pass matnr as objkt, and aetyp as 41( for material) ,
and out of the records retieved latest would bare the correct revlv.
thanks.

BOM Revision Level

Hi,
We are uploading the BOMs into server. While manual creation of BOM I am able to update the revision level of the BOM. But we are unable to update it while uploading through LSMW. Please suggest me in this regard.
Thanks
Ramakanth

We have ECM in our project.
We have to take all the BOMs from the previous version of SAP and upload to the new all of them to the new version.
All the BOMs have revision levels w.r.t. to a change number.
While manually changing the BOM the revision level can be updated by entering the BOM w.r.t. a change number and then in the menu --> extras --> new revision level.
Now we have to upload the BOMs through LSMW. It is not picking up the revision level while uploading.
Please give your suggestions.
