Sales Order Stock Configuration across the Supply Chain

Dear Colleagues,
here's my query. This is more related to configuring Make To Order on R/3 Side.
As a Requirement, my client would want that across the supply chain, to trace the stocks relevant for a particular Sales Order. One way I came across was using Sales Order Stock.
The Product Flow Network is like :
Plant > BSR > WH1 > WH2 > Invoicing Point.
(- No Planned Movement Doc in Plant-BSR) > STO(B-W) > InterCo PO(W1-W2) > STO(W2-Inv. Point)
What I would like to know is that using MTO strategy and Sales Order Stock, how can we configure the following scenario?
1. Sales Order is Created with Account Assignment
2. InterCompany STO and InterPlant STO can be created with Account Assignment Category Type 'E' and reference to the Sales Order-Item No.
3. Using STOs at BSR, Propogate the Demand to Plant, create a Planned Order with Account Assignment and Sales Order Reference.
4. Production and subsequent GR to Sales Order Stock at BSR
5. Subsqeuent Deliveries only against the Relevant STOs and GR to Sales Order Stock at all locations in the network.
I would like to highlight that the need for identification of linking SO to Production Order is only from the stage of SKU-production order at the plant to utpo final delivery from the Invoicing plant.
regards,
Sudhir

Typically MTO situation is better modeled in PPDS since it does pegging through the network. In SNP we typically do dynamic pegging and hence it will be difficult to link the sales order all the way to production order. Having said that SNP does take into account available resource for planning some of which could have been consumed by MTO orders. This perhaps may not be helpful to your scenario.
As I said dynamic pegging is done with SNP. So when you use SNP in the network, you can basically check the product view to see the supply-demand links. (/sapapo/rrp3) These links are indicative and you should be able to use them for tracing purposes.

Sales order stock problem at the time of PGI

Dear Experts
When a sales order is being created , the delivery is done.The moment PGI is done the system gives a error prompt as " sales order stock XXXXX not created for the item YYYY"
I dont want this to happen.
I wish that at the time of PGI system should simply and directly pick the qty from the storage location and do the PGI.
Also we dont have availabilty check at the delivery item ctgy level.
Expert suggestions are required.

Hi
Go to MB1B and enter movement type 412 , special stock E and enter
then enter sales order no and item no
enter storage location, material and quantity and save it
other wise in sales order VA02
go to procurement tab in the overview screen change requirement type to daily requirement
you will need not to do the above process

Kindly explain the step by step procedure for configuring sales order stock

Hi friends,
can anybody explain the step by step procedure for configuring sales order stock.
Stock that is used for a sales order. It is directly allocated to a sales order. Components can only be used to produce material ordered by the customer and the finished product can only be delivered to the customer via the sales order.
You can manage valuated or non-valuated sales order stock.
If the sales order stock is not valuated, it is managed via a cost collector. The system does not carry out invoice verification postings for goods movements, and you cannot obtain an overview of how the stock is valuated until the end of the settlement period in Controlling.
If the sales order stock is valuated, you have immediate access to its value in Financial Accounting. The assigned accounts are debited and credited as a result of the valuated goods movements.
but i am not clear of how to map it into sap.kindly explain it step by step.

While creating the Transfer Order system is not picking Sale order stock?

Hi All,
In the B2B process the system is not picking the stock from from sale order stock while creating the transfer order? Please suggest.
Summary : Here we are creating the PR in the sale order and STO is created using the same PR to procure the materials from the WM plant to sale order plant. Since here intialy we are moving the stock to our sale order in WM plant and then picking the same. But while creating the Transfer order system is not picking the sale order stock in WM plant.

Storage Location Error duing GR of Subcontarct for The Sales Order Stock.

HI ,
Is there any settings to avoid individual entry of Storage Location field for the child components during the Goods Receipt from Subcontractor for the Sales Order Stock.
As per SAP standard , I have created Separate storage location for Sales order stock components as the Stock provided to vendor . While receiving the header component , System showing error to enter storage location for all the BOM component s . My Requirement is , Storage location should come automatically for the child component while receiving the Header Component.
Yogesh.K.

Hi Jurgen,
He's right, the posting is not a bug.
In case of MTO scenario, if components are managed in the sales order / project stock system withdraw them from storage location.
http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/4d/2b90b043ad11d189410000e829fbbd/frameset.htm
The subcontracting orders are account-assigned to a sales order or a WBS element. Thus, the components are not transferred (using a transfer posting) to the "stock of material provided to vendor" but are directly withdrawn from the sales order stock or the project stock at the time of the goods receipt.
Since the components are not transferred to the "stock of material provided to vendor", we recommend that you use a transfer posting to transfer the provided components to a new storage location (for example, 9999). This enables you to obtain an overview of those stocks that are physically located at the subcontractor. This information is particularly important when you carry out a physical inventory of the sales order stocks and project stocks.

Subcontracting for Sales Order Stock and collective Transfer Posting

Dear Expert,
We have a scenario in subcontracting wherein the sales order the customer also wants to see the components and as such along with the Header item of subcontracting ,we also mention the components as another line item in the sane Sales Order.
Now from the sale sorder two Po's are created onr for the subcontractor and one for the compnens to be procured.
Since the components are procured on sales order stock there is noway we can issue it to the Vendor stock through Movt .Type 541.
As per SAP AG WE CAN:
"ubcontracting is also possible in conjunction with sales order stocks and project stocks. The subcontracting orders are account-assigned to a sales order or a WBS element. Thus, the components are not transferred (using a transfer posting) to the u201Cstock of material provided to vendoru201D but are directly withdrawn from the sales order stock or the project stock at the time of the goods receipt. The material manufactured is also posted to the sales order stock or to the project stock. The cost of subcontracting is then debited to the sales order or WBS element.Since the components are not transferred to the u201Cstock of material provided to vendoru201D, we recommend that you use a transfer posting to transfer the provided components to a new storage location (for example, 9999). This enables you to obtain an overview of those stocks that are physically located at the subcontractor.This information is particularly important when you carry out a physical inventory of the sales order stocks and project stocks."
But my query is that how many such storage locations will be created for the subcontracting vendors.
Secondly for the stock transfer from sales to storage location , we have lots of sales order, is dera way through which we can do bulk transfer rathar than clicking at new item everytime and then doing the transfer posting.
your expert advice shallbe helpful in resolving a longtime pending issue , waiting for the response.
Regards
Jabeen

This is a known issue, the system doesnt allow stock to have two special stock statuses at the same time.
Your concern of having to make multiple storage locations is valid (since this is a configuration).
I suggest you do the following
- Configure a warehouse and a single storage type (say 001). Allow mixing of materials in a single bin
- Assign this warehouse to a new storage location.
- Create a bin for every sales order number in the warehouse.
- When goods are moved to subcontractor, perform a transfer posting to the storage location, and perform a putaway to the respective bin. The putaway strategy can be tweaked using a user exit to go to the relevant bin. This way you do not have to enter the WM transaction for putaway.
- To consume the stocks, you can use 231E movement (MB1A). On the WM side, the picking strategy can be enhanced so that the picking TO is generated with the correct source bin. Make sure the GL account and CO objects are as per FICO requirements.
This way you can track the stocks binwise (bin level reports are available in WM), perform physical inventory and also consume the stocks from the relevant bin automatically.
We had faced the same situation, and we ended up not having sales order stock at all.
Hope this helps.

Different Method to valuate sales order stock

Dear expert,
     I came across a problem and I need your help:
     Scenario: Make-To-Order production without sales order controlling. Uses standard price in material master record.
     As we know, There are a predefined sequence to valuate sales order stock: First, The system uses the standard price on the basis of your customer exit COPCP002 Material valuation for valuated sales order stock. If not defined COPCP002, Then, the system uses sales order costing. Then, the system determines the standard price using the production order cost estimate. At the end, the system determines that If you manufacture a material both for the make-to-stock-inventory and for the valuated sales order stock, the system reads the material master record of the collective requirements material.
     In SAP online Help, there is a note that: If you calculate the standard price of sales order stock in a preliminary cost estimate for the manufacturing order or use the price in the material master record, you cannot transfer cost component splits into COPA. This is my doubt: I don't know exactly where are the differences between sales orde costing and standard price in material mater to determine sales order stock.
     So, I have a question: What are the extract diffences between using sale order cost estimate and the standard price in the material master record to determine valuated sales order stock?
     Thanks for your help. Best regards,

What you said is exactly what I want! Very thankful for your help.
Yes, I have found that in EBEW table that standard price is valuated with preliminary cost estimate because I don't give a sales order cost estimate but I give an sales order stock in the customizing - requirement class. So, I have this question that how the sales order stock is determined.
In COPA customizing (COprofitability analysismaster datavaluationSet up valuation using material cost estimate), standard cost estimate or sales order cost estimate can be transferred into COPA value fields in our system.
But, I have still have a question: I found in our system, preliminary cost estimate in the linked production order is determined for valuation of sales order stock in EBEW table. As sap online help says, cost component splits can not be transferred to COPA.
So, according to SAP online help, I think what you said u201Cu2026..However , when we start thinking about the result of this cost to flow into COPA , this cannot happen as the Inventory was valued with a Preliminary csot estimate. So , the Online help says that it will not be able to transfer Result of Preliminary cost estimate into COPA for transferrring COGS details. System would always require a Standard cost estimate or a Sales order Cost estimate to flow Cost details into COPAu201D is correct.
But, in our system, cost component can be transferred into COPA!? When I create a sales billing (invoice) with tcode VF01, it can create a profitability analysis document (shown in VF03) which it had a cost component split for that material in the sales order stock valuated with the preliminary cost estimate. Or where is stored for the Make-to-Order materialu2019s cost component split in COPA?
That is the real point that confused me. Hope you can help me. Thanks very much.

Revaluation in stock transfer to Sales Order stock from unrestricted

User is trying to do a stock transfer posting from unrestricted to Sales order stock. Now the system is throwing an error saying that account setting has not been done for UMB (OBYC setting). I have given the GL for this UMB transaction type in OBYC> UMB is for posting Gain/Loss from revaluation.
I dont understand how a revauation happens when we transfer stock from unrestricted to Sales Order Stock ? What is the purpose of that in our scenario, could you please explain.

Hi:
Normally it should not happen in case of stock transfer posting. Please check the movement type settings for valuation class of your material and see if the transaction type UMB has been set against valuation class in OMJJ...Account grouping.
Hope it will help you.

He material is not displayed as valuated Sale Order Stock

Sale Order has been created and MRP execution is done at MD04.
The Sale Order is released as Production Order.
But when I am executing T Code MBBS I am getting error message syaing
The material is not displayed as valuated Sale Order Stock.
Diagnosis
The system has not found any stock that satisfies the selection criteria entered.
Possible reasons for this are:
The material does not exist. Have you entered the right material number?
Your selection is too restrictive. The system was not able to find any stock that satisfies all selection criteria.
The stock balance is zero.
Procedure
Check all the selection criteria you entered.
Stock overview has displayed enough stock for material.
Please adivse me how Material can be displayed as valuated Sale Order Stock at MBBS.
Regards

Hi,
Check whether the Production order execution is done and any GR has been done against the Order.
Once the above is done, check in MBBS, the stock will sit in the Valuated SO stock.
Even wait for any other replies.
Thanks & Regards,
Ravi Kumar

PO against valuated sales order stock posting to consumption account

Hi All,
I am creating a PO with account assignment against valuated sales order stock. However the posting happens to consumption account (GBB) instead of the stock account (BSX). The following settings exist
1. The material type is both quantity and value update
2. The account assignment category used in PO is E which has special stock = E, account modifier = VKA and consumption posting = E
3. The requirement class (in SD) has account assignment = E and valuation = M (even tried with A)
4. The valuation class for valuated SO stock has been maintained in the accounting view
However the system picks up the account corresponding to GBB-VKA and not BSX. Can anyone point out any setting that may be mising here.
Regards,
Ketan

Hi,
Maintain the consumption posting as blank against the account assignment used in PO in OME9 and test the scenario again.

Prevent Third Party / Sales order stock for blocked vendors

Hi Experts.
We have scenarios for Third party processing and Sales order stock. We have a scenario of a fixed vendor for a material. The purchasing function frequently does block vendors for purchasing.
However, we find that this does not prevent creation of a third party / sales order stock item in the sales order and a PR is generated. It is only found during the PR --> PO conversion that the vendor is blocked at which time someone has to manually reject the line items.
Is there a way to prevent the system from being able to generate a PR for a blocked vendor ? I guess one possibility is to enhance the requirement routine for PR creation. Is there any other approach ?
Appreciate your help
Regards
Rohit Zalani

Hi
In MK05, block vendor for all Purchasing org and Select Block Function = 03 Block quot. req., order, goods receipt
If you do this setting then user will get error message that "Vendor is blocked" and "Purchase requisition could not be generated for component".

MM Account determination with valuated/non valuated sales order stock!

Hi All,
I have been trying to set up MM account determination in our project for sales order assigned POs.What I have observed is that when I have a PO with sales order assignment and according to requirement class (coming through reqt type) in sales order it is valuated sales order stock then in the PO we get the stock account determined through BSX key. But when it is non valuated sales order stock we get a different account assigned through GBB-VKA key. In both the cases the account assignment category in the PO is "E".
Can someone please explain what is the connection between valuated/non valuated sales order stock and MM account determination and if what is happening is right from account determination point of view?
Regards,
V S

These are two different postings:
BSX: stock posting
GBB: Offsetting entry for stock posting
Stock posting (BSX)
This transaction is used for all postings to stock accounts. Such
postings are effected, for example:
-   In inventory management in the case of goods receipts to own
    stock and goods issues from own stock
-   In invoice verification, if price differences occur in
    connection with incoming invoices for materials valuated at
    moving average price and there is adequate stock coverage
-   In order settlement, if the order is assigned to a material with
    moving average price and the actual costs at the time of
    settlement vary from the actual costs at the time of goods
    receipt
Offsetting entry for stock posting (GBB)
Offsetting entries for stock postings are used in Inventory
Management. They are dependent on the account grouping to which each
movement type is assigned. The following account groupings are
defined in the standard system:
-   VKA:     for sales order account assignment
         (for example, for individual purchase order)

Sales order stock 110000193 000050 does not exist

Hi Friends,
I have a problam in Confirmation of Production order against sales order. Every time I confirm the production order system give an error message Sales order stock 110000193 000050 does not exist.
where I check the material in mb52 transaction , the stock shows on that material.
Please give solution .
thanks in advance.
Ajit Sharma

Hi,
It seems you have activated back flush some or all the components.
In MTOscenario, system looks for sales order stock for all the components.
Since sales order stock is not available with your system the message.
Try with movement type 412E in MB1b to transfer components from U/R to sales order stock.system propmts you to give sales order number Pl. provide there & carry out transactuion.
Then the system will pick up the stock & post.

Sales order stock to unrestricted

Hi Experts,
In MTO scenario, creation of production order is based on sales order. While doing GRN it is going to sales order stock. Is there anyway to post directly to the unrestricted usage?
For this what are the prerequisities?
Anybody plz help me?
Naren

Dear,
Im not clear on why you want to post th stock to unrestricted.
IN MTO,goods are manufactured for a particular customer and the planning copies the requirements from sales order.
Once the processing is completed,the goods are picked from sales order stock for completing the delivery and billing.
Here if reqired you can transfer the stock to unresticted manually after the GRN is posted.
This can be done in MIGO,transfer posting using the movement type 413.By doing this the requirement of the sales order will not be closed and it will be available for planning.
