Settings in Material Management for Project

>Hi Experts
>At the client end we are using Materials Management with Project System module.
>While making the Purchase Order we are putting the Accounts Assignment Category as "P".
>and entering a WBS element for utilization of budget in the Purchase order.
>The following is the detail of the client requirement.
>The equipment are to be delivered by the vendor over three financial year 2008-2009, 2009-2010, 2010-2011. Accordingly the budget for the equipment has been split for the wbs element across the financial years 2009, 2010, 2011.
>Hence the equipment has been entered in three lines with delivery date as 31.03.2009, 31.03.2010, 31.03.2011 respectively for assigning the budget of the respective financial years 2009, 2010, 2011.
>The value to be delivered by the vendor is not fixed and may vary according to the requirement of the project. Hence we would be required to utlilize the line item for the year 2010, if the line item of the year 2009 get consumed for preparation of gr in fy 2008-2009. But when we are trying to prepare the goods receipt for the line item entered for financial year 2010, it does not allow to save the goods receipt and gives the error, budget exceeded.
>The requirement is that he should be allowed to use the line item for year 2010 and the budget should automatically get transferred from fy 2010 to fy 2009.

Hi Amit,
If your Project Stock is valuated, then, the valuation data for it is stored in a different table: QBEW.
The normal, anonymus warehouse stock (the unrestricted use stock which is not assigned to any project or to any sales order) has its valuation data stored in MBEW.
The "Accounting 1" view in the Material Master MM03 ONLY displays the data of MBEW.
In the material master you will never see the valuation data of the valuated project stock (table QBEW) or the valuated sales order stock (valuation indicator "M" - table EBEW).
The valuation data for the tables QBEW and EBEW can be seen in SE16 or in the transaction MBBS.
Also note that these valuated special stocks are managed independently of the normal stock. If, for example, you change the Moving Average Price of your normal stock in MBEW, this will not have any influence on your project stock, as the data is under a totally diferent table QBEW.
I hope this helps you,
Esther.

Hi,
While creating material master for project, you can select views as per relevance. While creating PO you should be clear whether you want to inventroze the stock or not. You can use account assignment as Q for matrial with Inventory.

Moving avergae price updation in material master for project stock

Dear All,
My query is pertaining to updation of MAP( moving average price) for project specific procurement ( as project stock) for valuated project stock.
As definelty the cost of procurement gets consumed by project .but i want to know does the project stock procurement still updates the moving avergae price or not.
Ex:-Suppose MAP in material master is 10 USD ( with qty 1)and i procure the same material ( qty 1)for project with account assignment Q for 9 USD . now will the MAP in material master becomes 9.5 USD or it remains 10 usd.?
Please reply urgently

Material type for Project related

Hi ,
When creteing the material master we have which take "Material Type" if it related to project , i am perticular about construction and instaltion related business topic . Normally we take Raw material , semi finished material and finished material in case of manufactureing industry , in construction in

Hi
In projects also maximum Raw material is used. Usage of semifinished and finished material is minimum.
i am particular about construction and instaltion related business topic .
In construction industry raw material type is used.
Ex:
Cement, bricks etc...
Cement and bricks is a finished product for production industry, but this as RAW material for construction industry.

Advance material planning for projects

Dear All,
We have a scenario for fabrication industry. Where client want to plan material procurement in advance for manufacture FG. But BOM of FG will come in later stage when design phase get finished in phases. Initial for cost planning and material procurement planning, they are finding out requirement of material quantities and costing happened on it. This material is planned for procurement, while the BOM will prepared in later design stage. FG are assigned to project activities, and project MRP will give planned orders. these material bom will rolled cost to activities, cost will get doubled and material too. How to handle this scenario, Any standard solution.

Hi Shrikant,
The advance procurement material list should be prepared and then it should be attached in initial stage to project.
Header(X)
Line item 1
Line item 2
This advance procurement BOM should be attached such that
the header(X) will become text item after attachment and
for the line items the Preq will be generated.
For this line item should be make to stock procurement type
and this should behave as dependent and independent requirement
and there will be no duplicacy of the requirements.
You need to dicuss this with PP consultant.

Help with sequence settings in final cut for project with 2 different frame rates.

I really need help with this one! I finished editing a wedding video and realized after exporting that it was filmed in two different frame rates. This has happened before but I converted the footage to match and fixed the problem. In this case, the footage is part 30fps and part 60fps. The majority of it was filmed in 30fps. I cannot convert the 60 to 30 without the slow motion effect which I do not need so I have to find a way to burn this to a DVD without it looking messed up! The video was shot with two Canon 7ds if that helps anything. The first sequence I set at 29.97 and exported as a quicktime movie and all the footage filmed in 60 looked perfect and the footage in 30 looked jittery. Then I tried the sequence at 59.97 and it switched. The footage filmed at 30 looked good and the 60 was cropped in. I am so confused! Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks for your help Michael! The frame rates are 29.97 1920 x 1080 and 59.94 1280 x 720. I did a control click on the clips in final cut and viewed the item properties/format to find this info. The Canon 7d is a DSLR but we use it for video. As for my workflow, the first thing I do is import the footage onto my computer and then drag the clips into mpeg streamclip. I choose apple prores 422 and uncheck the interlaced box. Once this is done I import the .mov files into final cut. The sequence automatically sets itself to whatever clip I drag in first so it originally set as 29.97. When I finished editing wedding video, I export it to a quicktime movie and choose whatever settings match the sequence, in this case apple prores 422 1920 x 1080 30p. Once that is done I use iDVD to burn the discs.
I knew something was wrong when I watched the quicktime movie and all the 30fps footage was jittery and most of the cross dissolves looked strange. That's when I figured out the footage was at two different frame rates. What I don't understand is why whatever the sequence is set at in final cut, the clips of the opposite frame rate look right but the clips set at the matching frame rate don't???

Project Document Management for Primavera?

Hi,
I made some test with Oracle UCM trying to evaluate if it could be suitable to be used as a Document Management for Projects. My perception after these (short) tests is that UCM seems to be too generalist and too complex to be used in conjunction with Primavera Software: it seems to me that it could bring to an iceberg, being the out of water part quite smaller than the underwater architecture.
I would know if there are some other opinions or guidelines to use UCM or some other Oracle Software with Primavera.
Thanks

I update the post to add some other result. I configured the Content Repository (using JackRabbit) and the Workflow Repository; I saw that there is an option to configure the AutoVue to be accessed by P6 Web.
I didn't find a way to configure the access to JR repository from the PM Client Application. The result is that the WP&Docs Documents are visible from P6 Web in another tab , near the documents in the repository while this repository files are not accessible (Am I right?) from the PM client application.
In my honest opinion, getting access to the repository if still not possible, from the PM client should have an highest priority than enlarging options for P6 Web.
Thanks

Split valuation with batch management and project stock

Dear Gurus,
I need to combine two following requirements:
1. split valuation with batch management (valuation type = batch number)
2. project stock
These two functionalities work fine separately but not together.
I receipt PO for material with spiit valuation on a batch level into a project stock. Posting is OK and material document (MSEG table) seems to be OK (batch number, valuation type and project stock are in this table). The problem appears when I want to display material in this valuation type (MM03) or batch (MSC3n). They don't exist!!! Short investigation showed that during goods receipt table MBEW (valuated stock) was not updated with this valuation type.
But If PO is receipt into normal stock first and then posted into project stock everything is OK.
Have you had or heart about such issue? I would appreciate any sugestion.
Thsnks in advance.
Marcin Bernat

Hi,
As you already know ,u are using project stock and doing goods receipt against project, stock table QBEW will be updated and not MBEW. MBEW only updates in case of plant stock valuation. If u receive any goods against project stock it does not contribute to plant stock. Irrespective whether your material is managed in split valuation or not, If it is received against project stock it only updates QBEW. There is no need to update MBEW, if u r using split valuation in project. QBEW also have valuation type as another level like MBEW. If u want to see material price for project stock, it can be seen in QBEW -valuation type and not in mm03.
As u r receiving goods against project stock this is d only reason QBEW is updated and not MBEW.
QBEW will store all information like MBEW for batch number, valuation type and project stock assignment.
Hope it answers your question.

Automatic batch management for Production order receipt

Hello ,
I have a requirement to setup & activate Batch Management only for Production order Good Receipt . I am looking out for what all configuration / data setup will be required to complete this .
To start with I have following questions .
1. Whether such activation is possible only for Production order Good receipt - 101 mov.type
2. IF yes , is Batch management activation status be at material or plant level .
3. As I need automatic assignment , should I be selecting Internal batch management .
4. What should be selected for valuation for Goods movement in Inventory management.
5. Is it necessary to have batch determination by maintaining Condition tables / Access sequence
6. What would be standard Class / characteristics to be maintained for automatic determination.
Also I will have to work with the running system where Material are already active and have stock in system . What precautions will I have take if I have to activate the Batch Management in a running system.
Appreciate all your expert advise.
Regards,
Lawrei

Thanks Adler for your comments .
With reference to your point , need further clarifications
1. If batch management is selected to material , this means that it will be active for all movement types for Inventory and cannot be restricted to 101 mov.type .
I see that in config node
+Define Batch Creation for Goods Movements+
    +Using this function, you can define for each movement type whether a new+
    +batch is created for a goods receipt and how it is created.+
Can I not restrict batch creation only for 101 movement , but again here I don't have options to select only for Good receipt for order - Tran/Ev type - WF .
& what about below config node
+Define Batch Creation for Production Order / Process Order+
    +In this step you can make the following settings in batch management for+
    +the existing production control profiles:+
Is it possible in this node .
Please advise.
Regards.

Material requirment from Projects

Hi,
I have one scenario where the material requirments will come from projects as materials (BOM) are assigned to project builder. After MRP run if there is material components available in free stock, it is n't getting adjusted against material requirments, rather creating new PR for the items. Request you to suggest on this.
Thanks & Regards,
Ranjan

Dear Biplap,
Any material required for a project and is assigned to a project is generally a special stock, "Q' type. Basically SAP handles material required for project seperately, Sale order separtely, consignment seperately, vendor seperatly etc.
So when u run MRP for the first time related to that project, generally no material will be avl <b>under that project segment</b> and create Planned order / PR as the case may be eventhough there is unrestricted normal stock for that material. SAP MRP will only consider the materials or docs for netting only if it is related to that particular project/sale order.
If you want to consider the unrestricted stock also then possibly u will have to write a Z program which will convert the normal unrestricted stock into project stock and again rerun MRP on that material to cancell the requirement generated thro the initial MRP run.

Procurement for Projects

Dear all
Could explain how the material procurement for projects happen? What's the difference between this and normal procurement?

HI
Its the same Only u wil have to use the Item category' P' for projects.which impies that the procurement is done against the said Projects.
Also this can be mapped with PS module where a central Project will be created. The project will be broken down in to no of Work break dowmn structures which will be assigned a cost element.
The total expenditure on each WBS will be determined using the WBS element.
The Item category of P as Account assignment category of P have to be used for the PO's. The corresponding WBS element and the G/L account has also to be entered at the item level.
Hope this helps.

General Settings for Material Management

Hi,
under Material Management in SPRO under General Settings for Materials Management
1. Set material block for goods movements Lock Exclusively and (ii) Late lock
2. Set Up Material Block for Invoice Verification
Set Up Material Block for Invoice Verification
(ii) Set Up Material Block for Invoice Verification
(iii) Set Up Material Block for Invoice Verification
Pls tell me which option i should select in which case?

Hi,
Each option have some time advantage on the other one, when the subject material is blocked for other users, preventing them from carrying out any IM postings.
For goods movement process, Exclusive block will hold the item code for longer time than Late block.
It is better to go with the stadard settings of 'Exclusive block' for Goods movement and 'blocked at first read' for invoice verification.

Wants to activate batch management for a material which already had a Stock

hi,
i want to activate batch management for a material which already has a stock and open Purchasing documents.
is there any way by which we can do it without removing the same.
please help.

program name is RVBCONVMAT2BM
but i am doubtfull it will be delivered with standard SAP, you need to request you from SAP as they charge for this.
this program convert the material to batch and all relevant dependant documents will be updated with batch no.
Regards,
Pravin Mukkawar
pasting some description of the program
REPORT rvbconvmat2bm.
Report illustrates the call of function module VBZ0401_CONVERT_OBJECTS
which sets the batch management flag for one material including
depending objects. Function module VBZ0401_FILL_BUFFERS helps
improving the performance.
then logic......

Is it possible to activate Batch Management for a material without Class?

Dear Experts,
Is it possible to activate Batch Management for a material without having Class & Characteristics maintained. As my requirement is to procure Fuels in Batches only with external no. assignment without any parameters to be checked at the time of Goods Receipt? Batches are needed for Accountability purpose.
Regards

Please check this answered link:
Batch-classification view
If you want classify a batch, then you should have maintained the batch classification in material master which is either class 022 or class 023 (depends on your batch level set in cusotmizing). The material class 001 has no impact on the batch classifcition, it is what it is: a classification for the material.
