RRB material determination issue

Hi
We are implementing resource related billing. We have a situation
wherein we have seperate material codes for consulting and training but
they are both linked to the same cost element.
When I configure through ODP1, I can link only one material to a cost
element in material determination. We would like to link 2, one for
consulting and the other for training which should be selectable when
we create the quote or DMR. Is this possible? Is there a user exit or
BADI for this?
We want one material for our consulting WBS and one for training
Thanks in advance

I did that Vengaiah.
I entered characteristic as material and ticked material determination. Then I enter both the materials consulting and training.
In my ECP I have entered hrs as it is T&M (i.e activity type/cost center combination). I could create cost plan succesfully based on hrs entered and labor rates. When I click on sales pricing in project builder to create a quote it says no expenditure items found. How do i corelate the material with the activity type/cost center combination

Material Determination issue

Hello SD experts,
There is an issue with the material determination table.We want that the entered material should get replaced with the substitution material if the substitution material has stock. This works fine in our case.But when the substitution material is out of stock the sytem should point to the material entered (original material) and confirm the stock from it.This is not happening as the system is pointing towards the substitution material only and confirming the stock.
Material entered: A
Substitution material : B
B is out of stock so A should be there in the sales order as its has got stock. Buts system is showing B and confirming stock from A.
Please help. Thanks in advance.

Hi Prashant, please try this and let me know if it works.
in your material determination record, enter
substitution material 1: B
substitution material 2: A
enter substitution reason 4 or 6

Material Determination Issue & IR issue

ok the requirement is like this. Some points to know. Material A in SAP is equal to Material 1 in Non SAP Mfg System.similarly B & C equal to 2 & 3.
There are 2 systems. 1 ) SAP & 2) Non SAP Manufacturing system.
1) A Sales order is created in SAP for 3 items A,B,C (Finished Goods)
2) There is a PR for these 10 items in the Scehdule Lines.
3) This PR creates a PO & sent to Non SAP Mfg System.
4) Non SAP Mfg System receive this PO and creates a CTO order (Configure to order). Now in Non SAP Mfg System the A, B, C are entered as raw material with numbers as 1 ,2, & 3 respectively. So when we order A in SAP it is converted to Material 1 in Non SAP System.
5) Non SAP System, manufactures these 3 items & send the A,B,C to Customer & sends SAP system Shipping notification & SAP do GR for the PO & does PGI for the Sales order Delivery.
Now the main requirment is: when they send us ASN it comes as 1,2,3 where as we ordered A,B,C. this cause confusion & iDoc fails to do GR & Invoice receipt.
Any clue how can make the system to read A with 1 , B with 2 & C with 3 when it comes as idoc for IR & GR.
5)

People,
This is how you post questions: Clear, concise and to the point unlike "snd me some doc on var config plz, itz urgnt" or "my pricing is not working please help me".
Mahesh,
Do you use a middleware layer between SAP and non-SAP sytems? Most middleware products offer a mapping feature to convert data. You could translate 1, 2 and 3 to A, B and C respectively.
In point 4), you say "<i>the A, B, C are entered as raw material with numbers as 1 ,2, & 3</i> ". Is this step manual in the non-SAP system? If not, may be the non-SAP system can reverse the mapping and send the IDOC with A, B and C.

Issue in Material Determination and Delivery Block

Hi,
I have an issue while changing a Sale Order. When I clear a particular block in VA02, the manual pricing conditions that were entered in VA01 are deleted and document becomes incomplete again. This happens only to the child material in a material determination scenario. This happens only for that particular block and that too only when I clear the block. If I change the block, there is no such problem. What I would like to know is,
1. Can this error be trigerred from a configuration/setting?
2. Or is there no such possibility of such error happening that it has to be from some user exit?
I tried manually overriding the error, but it didn't work out.
Kindly help me in this issue.
Thanks in advance,

Material Determination - Critical Issue

Dear Friends,
We are using material determination automaticall
The reason for substitution here is non availability of stock of ordered material, because of which system seeks the stock of substitute material.
The way we have configured is: When material is entered in sales ordered, system check stocks of entered material, if available partially provides the available stock & seeks for substitute material, where even if partial stock for substitute material is available, one more line is created for this material.
This line created as a sub item (like in sales BOM). Futher even after seeking substitute the order quantity is not fulfilled one more line is created for the original ordered material with a backorder tick.
The order items look as under:
10 000000000005893343 50.000 EA Cover
11 000000000005893343 9.000 EA Cover
12 000000000005893653 3.000 EA CYLINDER HEAD
13 000000000005893343 38.000 EA Cover
10) is entered item.
11) entered item available stock
12) substitute item available stock
14) unavailable backorder stock for entered item.
At this point of time we can deliver the order items 11 & 12 with further processing.
But later when we upload the stock for entered item, availability check cannot be carried out in the order, since all the items become grey out, when we create first delivery.
This is a very critical issue in our case.
Please suggest soon as possible so that we crack the issue.
With Best Regards
Nate.
p.s. This Question is posted old ago by Dhananjay. But The solution no exist.
(reference)Material Determination - Critical Issue

Dear Friend.
Thank you for your help.
All the items become grey out after we create first delivery.
So i should be just click on item availabilty, but it doesn't run.
<Step>
1. Material determiantion setting : A(highItem) - A(subitem) - B(subitem)
2. Material stock A : 10 ea, B: 10ea
3. Sales Order Creation : Material A 25 ea -> A 10 ea Confirmation, B 10 ea Confirmation and 5 ea Open, S/O No. QQQQ
4. Deivery Creation : Material A 10 ea , Material B 10 ea Delivery, G/I and Billing
5. Material B 5 ea supplement
6. Sales Order QQQQ Material B : re ATP carry out. But Don't run. All the Items become grey out.

3 issues about material determination

Hello Gurus,
there are 3 issues about material determination , I don't know how and wher to configure them .
(1) I want to choose whether or not you want to re-run material determination when the delivery is
created.
(2) I want use the some attributes in the material and customer master records to exclude a
particular material from product selection. This means, for example, that all the materials that have
been rejected in the customer master will not be included by the system when it determines a
substitution material.
(3) I want to deal with shortfall cases (in which only the available quantity is confirmed, and it is less than the order quantity) by passing the shortfall quantity on to materials planning. In this case, an additional sub-item is generated with a specifically defined material.
thanks very much!

(1) I want to choose whether or not you want to re-run material determination when the delivery is
created.
hi no need to re run the material determination
(2) I want use the some attributes in the material and customer master records to exclude a
particular material from product selection. This means, for example, that all the materials that have
been rejected in the customer master will not be included by the system when it determines a
substitution material.
hi in this case i thing this is related to listing and exclusin (for more info in search of sdn type listing and exclusion)
(3) I want to deal with shortfall cases (in which only the available quantity is confirmed, and it is less than the order quantity) by passing the shortfall quantity on to materials planning. In this case, an additional sub-item is generated with a specifically defined material.
this is possible by activating availability check and TOR transfer of requirement (for more info in search of sdn type availability check and TOR )

Error during material determination for sales document item - RRB

Hi
Iam getting following error when trying to create a billing request using DP91.
Error during material determination for sales document item 40001560/000010
Message no. AD01155
Diagnosis
An error occured during material determination for a dynamic item.
System Response
The system cannot perform the function.
Procedure
Check in the profile being used whether its characteristic allows the assignment of a material to each dynamic item.
I have checked my DIP profile using ODP02 there are no errors in it, I have created a Setid and assigned it to costing element in selection criteria and material determination criteria.
Material origin is checked in costing tab in material master.
Appreciate help in resolving this.
thanks,

Free goods with combination of material determination

Hi All,
I have Materil X for this free good is Y. But for material Y there is material determination with A. In this case what will happen while i am entering the material X in the sale order/
As of my knowledge freegoods don't support for any special function like BOM & vairant config. I don't know about the material det.
Please clarify this doubt.
Regards
Sunil

Hi Sunil,
You can see Material Determination and Free goods as two seperate issues.
For material X, Material Y will be a free good only when material Y is available in stock. The system will not substitute materiail Y with material A just because you have material determination configured for the same.
On the other hand, if you enter material Y on its own i.e. seperately at the line item level of the sales order..........then material determination will occur and the item will be substituted by material A.
See both of them as two seperate scenarios.
Hope its clear.............

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.

Free goods determination from material determination.

Hi experts,
I have one issue for you,
My scenario is:
we issue freee goods 1:1. i configured free goods setting and maintained VBN1 (condition records for free goods). i even maintained material determination configuration settings and maintained VB11 (condition records for material determination). The problem is system proposing free goods automatically when i process sales order without material determination list, if i go through material determination list system not determining free goods nor giving any message. what is the system behaviour if we go through material sustitution list to free goods. the main item (for free goods)will be existed in the substitutiion list. plez help. any suggestion will be highly appreciated.
thanks,
sada

Hi
Please consider the two issues separately. Don't club both the issues. If you have records for both material determination and free goods.,
1. Whether the material substitution is happening perfectly (as per the records created in VB11) or not.
Next.,
2. check whether the free goods are determined for the material in the sales order line item (as per the records created in VBN1) or not.
Please check and post the result.
Sometimes the freegoods will be determined in the sales order but will not create any second line item(as sub item) because while creating the records in VBN1 if you select the option 'Free goods Inclusive without line item generation. In this case NRAB condition type will be determined instead of R100.
So, also check the conditions tab and see whether the entire quantity is priced or not.
Thanks,
Ravi

Material determination with Product selection

Hi SAP Gurus
We are using material determination with product selection. The process is that customer will send in one product in a sales order. At the time of doing ATP we have to look for about three or four possible alternatives and confirm that alternative which has the highest stock level depending on the ATP situation. We have configured material determination with SAP standard substitution reason0006 to take care of this. The problem with this is that this creates two line items in sales order as the item substituted is shown as a sub-item of the material entered. We do not want to have two line items in a sales order for this. Is there a way we can do material determination with product selection (Based on ATP) and have the item substituted replace the item entered in a sales order? In other words we do not want to see two line items in a sales order. The substitute item should simply replace the original item and the material entered could be stored in field VBAP-MATWA. I have gone through all the standard SAP documentation which clearly states that in order to material determination based on ATP we have to use outcome A or B both of which create a sub-item.
I was wondering if there is any workaround or if there is any user exit in which we can replace the original item with the substituted item?? Any help or any direction will be highly appreciated.
Another question is if we were to use APO for doing global/Rule based ATP is it possible to get rid of the double line items. We have also tried to use rule based ATP in APO and use product/location substitution in our sandbox system to see if we can get back only one line item. But even in that case we do get a sub item. Any help on this issue will be greatly appreciated. You can also send me an e-mail at [email protected]
Thanks

Use of Dummy material to issue Credit memo/ Debit memo

Hi Guys,
Can I use NLAG material type to create a dummy material to issue Credit / debit memo?

Thnx.

OK..thts gr8!
Well I have defined ZLEG matl type similar to NLEG and created matl for that.
Then I have used that matl in std. CM/ DM...with std G2N and L2N item categories...In account determination proc. KOFI I have maintained req.G/L account and created one cycle. The accounting entries are passing correctly. Using the pricing proc. which I am normally using for my CM /DM.....apart from that is anything required to do?

SD Contract with Material Determination - error V1 118 - Material Not liste

We have a contract that was created in Jan 2011. We have a material on the contract that has now has a sub through material determination. Since the original item has item linked to it out process is the add the new item to the bottom of the contract. when we do this we are getting Error 118 - Material is not listed therefore not allowed.
I debugged it and it looks like if the vdatu (req del date) is populated that is used otherwise the create date of the contract is used.    The contract was created in Jan however the material determination is only valid from 4/25 going forward.
Has anyone experience this issue?   Is there a way around this?
I have searched the forums and haven't found anything like this.
thank you for you help.
Michelle

Thanks, it is listed, if you enter a new contract with the current date, the material works fine. It is only when we are changing a material with determination on an older contract (created before the determination date) that we have an issue.    We are ECC 6.0 pack 15. thanks.

In this we have the INT1_FRAM material marked for the mrp.
3.The above are the config and the master data ,
4.In the above setting the material is replaced as subitem and all the ATP is done correctly as per the checking group and the scope ofthe check
5.When we change the setting for the reason for substiution as below

Note: The change here is the Outcome is changed to blank
6.Now when we do the above configuration change ,the material is getting replaced and the avaialability check is happening but if there is no sufficient stock it is not going to the next material.
It stops at the first alternate itself.
example for this is :
****Materialdetermination master data:

Alternate materials:

INT1_FRAM
Stock situation :
INT1_AUTOLITE :5000

When i create a sales order for 7500 for INT1_AUTOLITE it is only confirming 5000 fro the item 10 as material INT1_AUTOLITE it is not going to the next material
This is the core issue we are facing currently.
IssueNo2:
we also find a strange thing.
we have a availabiity check indicator in the V_TVSU ( config table)

This is not available as a entry option.
why is this so ???

Dear Members,
I have a scenario in material determination and I need your help.
We have old product and we have to substitute it with new product. now we have to finish old product first from the inventory then we have to substitute with new product in the material determination. so how do I put this condition in the material determination.
and also how do I substitute new material to the old material.
I will highly appreciate if any one could help me with the detailed procedure for this.
Thank you so much.
