Significance of Follow-Up Material in MARC with Interchangeability

Dear All,
We have a field 'Follow-Up Material' (NFMAT) in the MARC table in R/3. Can we use this field in our APO Interchangeability.
(ie.) Maintain the replaced product in this field and use it as Predecessor product in our super session chains (in APO).
Please clarify.
Thanks,
Siva.

Hi anyway I tested the BOM master data like this
F/G 1 Master Box
|--- A 10 PCS Alt Group Z1 Priority 1 Usage 100% Strategy 2 (100% Check)
|--- B 10 PCS Alt Group Z1 Priority 2 Usage 100% Strategy 2 (100% Check)
|--- C 10 PCS Alt Group Z1 Priority 3 Usage 100% Strategy 2 (100% Check)
Stock A is depleted
Stock B enough
stock C enough
Expected result F/G only used B 10 PCS
Actual result is
F/G 1 Master Box
|-- A 10 PCS
|-- B 10 PCS
|-- C 10 PCS
Do ou have ides how should the percentage in BOm is maintain?
Best regards,
Fred

Alternative item with follow-up material

Hi,
I have a finished product X for that component A-1 pc and B-1 pc is required.
Now A cannot be used in next year thatu2019s why my client wants 1) to issue 2 pcs of A instead of A-1pc and B-1 pc until the stock of A is available. 2) If the stock for A is not available then only it goes for B.
1) I have used alternative item grp with priority: 1, strategy : 2, usage probability 200% for A and priority: 2, strategy : 1, usage probability 0% for B
System issues 2 pc of A only
2) Also maintained follow up material as B so if there is any shortage for A then system is looking for B.
Problem is with the above setting the follow up material and alternative item is not working together. System issues only 1 pc of A if I maintained B as follow up material. If I maintain only alternate item then it issues 2 pc of A but at the same time it will not check B if any shortage occur.
Pls help.

Hi,
[Kindly check this link |http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/en/a0/1016bd4c8311d189520000e829fbbd/frameset.htm] which has information of the below.
Alternative item group
You can only define discontinuation data for a stock item or variable-size item that is not assigned to an alternative item group.
Once you have maintained discontinuation data for an item, you can no longer assign the item to an alternative item group.

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 !

Dear all,
 Manage to solve the problem via Note 1008643, per following.
 THANK YOU for all your guidance & Have a nice day !

Process Order is not picking the follow-up material

Hi Gurus,
We have changed a BOM by discontinuing a component and giving a follow-up material with the valid from dates as 18/5/09. and then MRP is run on that nignt ( mrp job set to run daily in the back ground). and on 19/05/09 a Process Order is created from the planned orders genereated by the MRP run.
now, we found that the new componenet (follow-up) is not copied into the process order, but the old compomemt (discontinued) is removed.
MRP parameters are correctly defined (Planning mode is set to 2) . Please let me know if we are missing anything.
Thanks,
N

Hi
Pl ensure that the Following requirements have been met before you can use the discontinuation functionality:
1) Both materials must be planned using MRP.
2) The base unit of measure of the follow-up material must be the same as the base unit of measure of the discontinued material.
3) You must enter discontinuation data for the discontinued item and follow-up data for the follow-up item.
and Also refer the SAP link for Complete Details

Full BOM component qty when follow-up material is effected.

Dear Experts,
 How to ensure discontinuation / follow-up is implemented on FULL BOM's
 component qty, and not partial.
 Example : A requires 3B, and B is follow-up with C upon discontinuation.
 Planned order of A should only contain 3B or 3C, not mixture eg. 1B
 and 2C etc.
 How can the control be implemented ?

Dear Pradeep, Rajesha & all,
 Assume BOM of "A" indicates component B qty 10 is follow-up with component C qty 10.
 Material B (say, balance 1 qty) is received into Store Y (MRP Relevant). Thus to exclude material B from MRP, we have to manually transfer stock to store X (Not MRP Relevant).
 This would mean, we have to perform manual tracking such that this store transfer is done, to force SAP to direct to material C, so that we either accept 10B or 10C in planned order and nothing else.
 Not forgetting, I could have another follow-up in another bom such that 1B = 1C. Thus, the material 1B I transfered to store X (Not MRP relevant) can actually be use in this case.
 Thus, from BOM explosion, is there a way to control discontontinuation to follow-up, based on full component qty specified in BOM ?
My Setting as follows :
(1) Material Master of "B" : MRP4 specify (a) Discontinuation Indicator "1", (b) effective-out date, (c) Follow-up material "C"
(2) In Bom of "A" (parent of "B") :
- Item "B", indicate discontinuation group "A1"
- Create item "C" and indicate follow-up group "A1" and qty to be follow-up upon B discontinuation.
Thank you for your guidance !

Same discontinue and follow up material?

I have used before this function having a follow up material with indicator 1 and effective-out date. However, this time I have 3 materials A, B, C.
The logic I want to use is the following but I'm not sure if SAP supports this:
A = discontinue material and B = Follow-up material. Using indicator 1
B = discontinue material and C = Follow -up material. Using indicator 1.
So far, SAP is not allowing me to have B as discontinue and follow-up material at the same time. Any insights?
Thanks for your help.

Hi Lee,
If you try to set the discontinuation for a follow-up material, then error message "Message no. 61224 -Multi Level Discontinuation not suported" will be generated when you try to run MRP. Refer Note 398238 - Error message 61224 for parts provided
For more information on Discontinuation data, refer Concept of Discontinuation Data - Material Master and BOM

Discontinued part and follow up material

Dear Guru,
How to use discontinued and follow up material with effective date. I am using MTS Scenario.
Please help.
Regards,
Sanjay Sahoo

Hi Sanjay,
refer to the below link, it should answer your query:
Re: Discontinuation Indicator - Need Guidance
In addition to the above details:
In material master for the material which is being discontinued, in MRP-4 view you need to maintain discontinuation indicator, effective-out date & Follow-up material.
If you need any additional info, revert.
If helpful award points

Cost-Roll take follow-up material upon discontinuation effective-out date ?

Dear Expert,
If we use discontinuation/follow-up material, during Cost-Roll (CK11N), SAP will take default cost from discontinued material even if follow-up material is effective.
How to make SAP take cost of follow-up material after/on effective-out date ?
Example :
Parent "A" contains component "B" qty 3, to be follow-up with component "C" upon discontinuation of "B" on effective-out dated 1st Nov'07, and like-wise to take std cost of "B' before 1st Nov'07 cost-roll.
Thus, when I roll cost in December, I hope SAP would calculate for std cost of A to include std cost of "C" (for cost-roll after 1st Nov'07).
Setting :
Material Master of "B" MRP4 view :
- Discontinuation Indicator = 1
- Effective-out date = 1st Nov'07
- Follow-up Material = "C"
BOM of Parent "A" :
- Component "B" indicate discontinuation group "A1"
- Add component "C" and indicate follow-up group "A1".
Thanks for your guidance !

Hello,
We are having the same issue: is a BOM for costing the only way to handle this ? Controlling dept. here fear they wouldn't be maintained as accurately as the production ones (and they are right). We were also thinking to set the phased out materials (B in your example) as cost irrelevant when you add to new material in the BOM...and start costing the father (A in your example) directly with the new component. I would appreciate a lot to hear other examples of dealing with this issue if anybody has.
Thanks a lot,

Error Follow up Material

Hi all,
I'm facing this problem:
I have indicated in the material master data that a material is substituded by another one (follow up material type 1).
When I create and release the production order the new material is diplayed correctly (the old with quantity 0 and the new one with quantity 1).
But, when I read the PP master data there is an error : i see in the components the old with quantity 1 and the new with quantity 0).
The validity date indicated in material master data is 01.01.2011 so in the past. All data seem correct.
I'm using configurable material and I created the sales order bom with CU51 transaction. So the Production Order reads Sales Order BOM.
May you help me?
Thanks.
MG

HI, in my system I don't use the availability check.
I inserted the role PP in my production order type without check but, when i run the Availability check into the production order the follow up material is wrong. I have no error message but the quantity proposed is 1 for the old material and 0 for the follow up. This is the error.

Multiple follow up material

Hi,
I hav eone requirement we have material X for this in material master follow up material is Y now user want that for the material Y they want to add anothere follow up material z so is it possible how it works, now when I am trying to add material Z as follow up material to Y system is giving error Message no. MM031
regards,
zafar

Standard system does not support the use of chain of follow-up materials (multilevel follow-up materials).
There are several checks in FM MARC_NFMAT - you receive one of them when the before mentioned FM calls FM MG_NFMAT_CHECK and it returns with 'X" in variable 'FLAG1'.
(I receive message M3609 which is triggered from the same FM)

The follow up material results in recurssiveness

HI,
I have two BOMs one is plant specific production bom
& the other is group BOM which is engineering/design bom
     Production Bom(plant specific)
parent     MO
child 1     m1
child 2     m2
     Enginering/desing bom(indepent of plant)
parent     MO
child 1     m1
child 2     m2
     m3
So in material master of m3 iam trying to discontinue with discontinuation indicator 1 with follow up material MO
The sytem is issuing the "the specified followup material results in recurssiveness"
why the system is throwing this message though m3 is not present in the production bom (which is plant specific)

Praveen,
Are you trying to say that if you maintain the material BOM for M0 with M3 as component and a follow up material as M0 again..?
It will definitely a recursive bom.
Or is it that you are maintaining a material M3 with follow up material as M0, where the M0 bom has components as m1 and m2 and you are getting this error in this case?
Please explain clearly..

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.
Yolanda.

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 Master Update through BAPI - Follow up material not updated

Hi Experts,
I am updating the material master through a custom transaction using the BAPI 'BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA'. Rest of the fields are updating correctly except for discontinuation ind., effective out date & follow-up material.
When I try to update it through MM02 it is working fine. However, when I pass the same data through BAPI it is throwing an error message that 'the material XXXXXX does not exist or is not activated'.
Please advice.
Thanks & Regards,
Ashu Arora

Some more fields need to be updated along with the discont. indicator. Now working fine.

Follow-Up material items in MRP4 View

Hi All,
In MRP4 view, in discontinued part, if we set follow-up material, MRP will trigger requests for the follow –up material if the stock of existing material is zero.
Now there is a requirement, so that even though follow-up material is updated, system should be trigger any requirement for the existing one, though the stock is zero, ie, the follow up material is only for an information .
Is it possible ? can we do it with changing the effectively of date in eff.out (set it as future unlimited)
Thanks for the help.

Vijesh

Pls help.
