Different material number for SD and for PP MM

Hello
Does sap provide a functionality to manage different material number for SD and for PP MM:
We produce and stock material A . We want to be able to sell material A and B. For MM (stock) and PP, B = A but for reglementation, we need to print on the delivery document caracteristics stored at the material level.
We don't want to substitute B by A on the sale document and we want that the stock of A beeing reduced by sales orders of A and B.
Thanks
Simon

Simon,
Iu2019m not aware of any way to manage the same thing using one material number in MM/PP and a different number in SD.
What makes B different from A? From your description it sounds like itu2019s the same thing with different characteristics. Without more info itu2019s difficult to offer solutions to your problem but Iu2019d start by looking at classification and batch management so you can differentiate differences between materials based on characteristics captured at the batch level.
If you provide a little more info about the products perhaps I can help.

Identification of old material number at plant level

Dear All,
We are implementing SAP for two hospitals. In legacy system each hospital as its own material master and material number. Now in SAP each hospital we are treating as a plant. These two plants are assigned to one company code.
So it means that there will be one unique material number for two hospitals. Now business wants their old material number (which is maintained differently for two Hospitals) at plant level in search functionality
How can I achieve with material master
Regards
Subhash

create a class "OLDMAT" for old material number with CL03 for class type 001
define a characteristic for old material number for each plant with CT04 and assign it to the class (can as well be done from within CL03). name it e.g. OLDMXXXX (XXXX = plant number)
in MM01 select classification view and add the class. after you hit enter you get the fields to add the old material numbers
Standard F4 help for a material number allows then to search for a material number by classification.

How to make sure what material number format is the same in SRM and R/3?

Hi all!
I faced the following problem:
"Product does not exist in plant or it has been flagged for deletion". This error message occurs during shopping cart creation or during transferring purchase requisition from R/3 to SRM. It seems like SRM carries out some material checking in R/3 before shopping cart save and can't find out appropriate R/3 material. The only reason I can assume is different material number formats in SRM and R/3. Material number length is the same in both systems.
Thanks in advance,
Alexander.

Alex-
We experienced this problem just recently. Our situation involved trying to add a material to the cart from an internal catalog (CCM). As mentioned earlier their is a configuration setting to indicate the number of characters the "Product" (SRM terminolgoy) or "Material" (R/3 terminology) should be. We made our setting 18 characters (same length as field in R/3). The important thing to understand is that the material number is actually defined as a character field, not a numerical field so the length of the material "number" is critical for the system to accurately check the material. Do the following and see if you correct the error.
1) Go into transaction COMMPR01 in SRM, select the search tab and choose Material in the Find box, then click start. Choose the material you are experiencing the problem on and verify that the number of characters is the same in SRM as it is in R/3.
2) Next, go into R/3 and look at table entries in MARC for the material. This will show you all the different plants associated with the material.
3) Finally, create a cart and procure the material. If you get the error message go to the basic data of the cart and verify the location (plant) is one of the plants you found in step 2. If not, change the location to one from step 2 and check the cart.

Material number changed after purchase order released

Hi Experts
Please we are experiencing this behavior in our system.
A purchase order for a specific material number is created and released, after this we can change the material number and its plant ¿is this a standard and right be way of SAP?
Thank for your help
JM

Hi,
You can design your process as the business demand.You can set Release Indicator 1 in designing Release procedure for PO , where release Indicator 1 is used for purchasing document cannot be changed/Change not allowed after release.

Emergent!! Two alternative material number for one same real material???

Hi Experts
In our company,for some specail requirement,we want to have two material numbers for one same real
material,that means this two materials are substitute for each other. In every transaction, we can
use this both two material numbers.
For example,material number "A123 " and "B456" , these two material numbers are for one real
material, In every transaction we can use "A123 " or "B456".For exmaple ,we can create and release
a production order to produce"A123",and when doing goods receive for this produciton order with
MB31,we could use"B456" for the same production order. And also when we view the stock for "A123" in SAP,we could get the the sum stock of "A123" and "B456".
Is it possible in SAP? How to achieve it that one real material have two different material number??
And how to manage these two different material number??
Thanks for any reply!!

Fei,
The requirement can't be absolutely mapped in SAP.
The reason is the logic behind this is wrong.
May we know why do you want to maintain two separate codes for one real material?
We have option of batch management as well as split valuation to take care of your requirement.
Evaluate these things.
Hope this helps you.

Material number are same but attribute of materials are different.

What if we have two system connected with APO with similar material numbers but in fact different material in description.
I mean, numbers are same but attribute of materials are different.
How to address it in APO.....?
Regards

HI,
An SCM system (APO) can be integrated with multiple ECC systems (logical
systems). It may therefore be the case that the number assignment for certain
master data objects, for example, material masters, is not the same in all these
logical systems. In the example above, material number A in logical systems 1
and 2 signifies the same cube, whereas the same material number in logical system
3 (perhaps a subsequently purchased plant) is a cylinder.
If logical systems 1, 2 and 3 are planned with the same SCM System, the problem
arises that the system cannot simply transfer the ECC material numbers into APO,
as they may be ambiguous.
To guarantee that the naming of master data in distributed system landscapes is
unique, business system groups are defined in APO as areas of the same naming
convention. A Business System Group (BSG) groups different physical systems to
form a higher-level logical unit.
If, for example, two logical systems (LS1 and LS3) exist in a system landscape in
which you want to integrate APO and contain different materials with the same
name (Material A is a cube in LS1, but a cylinder in LS2), this conflict must
be resolved for integration in APO. First of all, both logical systems are to be
assigned to different business system groups (BSG1 and BSG2).
check and revert back , Hope it will help you.

Different Material Types in different Plants

Hi,
I have 2 Plant under a Company Code. A material being produced in plant A has to be sent to Plant B for further processing. I would like to maintain single material master for both the plants, but different Material Types. Material has to be treated as Finished Goods in Plant A and Raw Material at Plant B. Could any one please let me know how I can MAP it in SAP.
Regards,
Nagaraja Achar.

Hi,
For the Same material Code you can not maintain two material types in two plants..
But you can make a Z* mat type with all the relevant views of FG & ROH..
For Plant 1 it will have all the views
and for Plant 2 extend only the ROH relevant views...
Thx

Having Multiple Material Codes with Different Profit Centers in one Plant

Hi,
Can someone explain me what impact it will have, if there are different Material Codes with multiple profit centers in a single plant? For example, say Material 1 has Profit Center as PC1 and Material 2 has Profit Center as PC2 and they are in a single plant. Will this have impact on Financial Transactions?
Thanks and Regards,
Sameer Joshi

Hi Sameer
No negative impact.. It is very much possible and logical
All the purchases made - > Stocks and vendor liability will be tagged to the PC of the Material
All the sales made -> COGS, Revenue and Customer Liability will be tagged to the PC of the material, unless you overwrite using a Substitution

How change plant, net price, OPu, and Material Number from ME32K

Hi GURUs,
May let me know how I should configure ME32K in order to allow users to change:
- Material Number
- Net Price
- Order Purchasing Unit
- Plant
I have tried setting up field selections layout properly, even debug PBO, it is still greyed out for those fields.
Please help.
Thanks,
Tony Yuwono

there is no way to change the price in item overview in the contract.
The reason is explained in OSS note 685117.
........The problem is that Scales and/or validity periods may exist for the conditions, because contracts have time dependant conditions, just like info records do.
This is in contrast to e.g. Purchase orders which have Time independant conditions and so, NO scales nor validity periods.
A Purchase order has A price! The price maybe determined based on a source; a contract or an info record. Depending on the order quantity and the date, the PO price is determined.
The contract does not have A date, it might have several; indicated by the validity periods. Furthermore the price is dependant on eventual scales. Therefore it does not have A price either..........

Material number for chemical with different packing sizes

A same chemical that we purchase from supplier can be in 25Kg bag, 1000kg bag and 50 kg bag. When we receive the chemicals, the physical goods of the chemical are in 25 KG Bag, 1000kg Bag and 50Kg bag store in the warehouse.
When we sell to customer, it can be in those 3 standard bag size or in KG depend the order quantity from customer.
For the above Chemical what is the best way to catalogue the material number, should it be 3 material numbers for the 3 different pack size, or 1 material number only?

you can have two solution for this with both pros & cons with one material master:
1. You can have three different unit of measure for 25KG, 1000KG & 50KG bag and you can maintain the relationship in the material master. This will help you to get the total stock in KG in your company and you can sell to the customer. Only problem is you will not be able to determine how much of each type of packaging you have.
2. You can define the material relevant for batch management. Create three batches 25KG,1000KG & 50KG, also create three different unit of measures as explained above. Now whenever you are doing the GR just put the material in correct batch, by doing this you can easily track you material along with the type of packaging. Also you can sell the material, while delivery you can use the functional of batch determination based on some log. Only problem is manual intervention which can be covered if you use some exit while doing GR so that correct batch is selected based on the Order Unit.
Hope this will help you..
Enjoyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Serial Number for 2 different material

        I need assistance in assigning the serial number to 2 different material.Material A,B of same material type.I had made 2 serial profile and assigned to 2 different material.

Please confirm my settings
Please give me valuable solution.
Thanks and Regards,
VJ

Hi VJ,
Two different number range for serial No might not be possible in this case but there are some possible way in doing it.
Please check the following points
1) In your present process dont assign any external serial no . Just click on automatic, system will be able to generate one internal number. However in this case serial no will be in the sequence of that material.
2) If you are ok for syncronization with the equipment no and serial no you can have different no range of serial No.
     Since you have two different serial no profile and you can assign two different equipment category and 2 different category can have different no range.
It just the work around . Think about it whethere it is feasible to your business.

Conversion of 2 different material codes into 1 material code for STO?

Hello All,
A pleasant day to you all.
I have a business scenario and I would want to get opinions on the feasibility of implementing it.
The scenraio is that the country have a new tax regulation (they call it BOI) so that when a material or product is created on a certain machine, the tax is reduced. Therefore, if there is an exactly the same product that is created from different machines, it will incur different taxes.
So, since the business has 2 company codes (i.e. Company A and Company B), the scenario would be company A will be creating 2 different material codes for this so they can track BOI products from non BOI products. But Company B on the other hand, would like to use the same material code to reduce complication. With this, Company A will then produce and do transactions using 2 different material codes then when PO STO is created (to transfer stock to Company B), Company B would like that those material codes from Company A would somehow (be automatically) converted into 1 material code on Company B's side. Is this possible? If so, how can we do that? what are the required set up to do this?
Thank you very much. Your response and opinioin would be greatly appreciated.
Best regards,
Lee

Hello Jürgen L.
Thank you very much for your kind attention and reply.
So with this, it's really not possible to do that requirement? There's really no way?
Thank you very much.
