STO for semi finished product along with returnable package

Dear Experts,
I am transferring semi finished product along with returnable package from Manufacturing to depot, for that i am creating purchase order (two line items in po, one is semi finish and other is returnable package) and creating delivery through VL10B.
system creates delivery, showing the item category NLN for both line items i..e semi finished and returnable package and billing(vf01) is coming for both item.
my requirement is billing to be only semi finished, returnable package should be update only qty billing should not coming for returnable package
for that which item category have to maintain and where it maintain for returnable package and how it flows from mm to SD?
Regards
sai krishna

The packagings material master record should use the material type VERP for packaging and the item category group LEIH. The item category group LEIH is the SAP standard for returnable packaging.
TAL (the item category for returnable packaging) in the shipping unit
header, then when you create the delivery, SAP will also create an item TAL for that shipping material in the delivery. When you goods issue the delivery, SAP will record that this shipping material has been issued to the customer and must be returned. Note that you only have to price the returnable packaging in the returnable packaging issue order document. It does not need to
be priced in the sales order and cannot be in this method.
Check if this all ok, rest please note returnable packaging material behaves in same way as packing material

Valuated Sales Order stock for Semi-Finished Products

Dear Gurus,
One of my client faced the issue that the semi-finished products is valuated-sales order. We are in Mill Industries, downstream (steel processing). The situation is:
1. We use configuration material for both finished and semi-finished products. Both are valuated at standard costs with valuated sales order stock.
2. Once the sales order is created, the cost estimates are created for both Finished, and semi-finished products.
3. The production orders is created for the semi-finished products. During production, several semi-fg and fg can be manufactured at the same time. We are using the co-products feature to cover that.
4. During the goods receipt of semi-finished products, instead of using the standard costs in sales order cost estimate, it use the planned costs in production orders which against our design.
I tried to use the user exit COPC002 and influence the standard costs. But it seems that the routine is not called for semi-fg at all. Anyone has any light on this?

Hi
I think you are talking about Special Stock "E"...ie) Sale Order Stock...
If my understanding is correct then,
If you go and see the Table T156....For the
Movement Type: 101,
Special stock Indicator : E,
Qty. Updation Checked,
Val. Updation Checked,
Movement Indicator : Against PO,
Consumption Indicator: Sales Order Stock.....combination....the transaction Event Key....GBB only has been Assigned....these settings you cannot change...
This linkage you can view in OLMW-----> Account Determination -
> Acc. Determination W/O Wizard -
>Account Grouping....also
Reward if useful

Automatic creation of purchase requisition for semi-finished product HALB

Hi Gurus,
We want the MRP to generate automatically a purchase requisition, instead of a planned order, for a semi-finished product. Of course, we still want to be able to convert it to a planned order.
thanks
Jean-Francois Millaire

Hi Jean-Francois Millaire,
You want a purchase requisition after MRP run & you should also able to convert that purchase requisition to planned order,If i understood correctly, hope this is your requirement
First one is possible -in MD01/MD02 maintain create purchase requisition as "1"
Second is not possible,its not possibel to conver a PR(purchase requisition to Planned order where as vice versa is possible
confirm my understanding,pls revert if you differ

Authorisation for Semi Finish Product Only....

Hi Experts,
I want to give authorisation for MM01 transaction and for only material type 'Semi Finish'. How to give only for Semi Finish to create?
For display I want to give full authorisation ?

1. Use transaction MMB1 which is specially designed for creating semi-finished products. However I don't know of this really blocks the road for creating materials of another type.
2. If you really want to authorize on Material Type you need to set an authorization group on the material type. In SPRO: Logistics - General --> Material Master --> Basic Settings --> Material Types --> Define Attributes of Material Types. Select Material Type HALB and type in a ctext of your choice in the Authorization Group field (tip: just use the name of the Material Type: HALB).
Restrict on Authorization object M_MATE_MAR as follows:
M_MATE_MAR
Activity                    01, 02
Authorization Group HALB
M_MATE_MAR
Activity                    03
Authorization Group 0-HALA, HALC-Z
Good luck!
Points are always appreciated!

Moving average price for semi finished products

Hi
Could anyone light on this issue,
Our client maintain moving average price for the semi finished material, need clarification on below points
1) What is the advantages and disadvantages due moving average price,
2) Which price in the material master after the production order settlement,
3) Is there any impact of this on WIP calcaultions
Thanks in advance
Mohan M

Hi
there are no advantages of it, ONLY Dis Advantages!!!
That will ruin your inventory valuation forever.. Consider the eg below if your price control is V
1. Your moving price in mat master is 100 USD
2. You Mfr on Jan 1 @ Actual cost = 110 in Prod order and Qty = 1.
Upon GR, GR will happen @ 100 and at period end if Qty is lying in stock, 10 variance will also be inventorized
BUT, now consider this
1. 1. Your moving price in mat master is 100 USD
2. You Mfr on Jan 1 @ Actual cost = 110 in Prod order and Qty = 1.
Upon GR, GR will happen @ 100 and variance lying is 10 in prod order
3. You Mfr on Jan 10 @ Actual cost = 110 in Prod order and Qty = 1.
Upon GR, GR will happen @ 100 and variance lying is 10 in prod order
4. On jan 15, you consume Qty 1 and qty lying in stock is 1
5. In period end, when you do settlement, following will happen
a. For prod order 1: Qty Mfd 1 and Qty lying in stock 1 - Result: variance 10 will be inventorized.
Mvg Avg price will shoot upto 110
b. For prod order 2: Qty Mfd 1 and Qty lying in stock 1 - Result: variance 10 will be inventorized.
Mvg Avg price (MAP) will shoot upto 120
System wont check whether the qty lying in stock pertains to prod order 1 or 2... It will simply check if the Qty of prod order matches with qty lying in stock. hence, it will keep on inventorizing variance in this case.... and your MAP will touch the sky

Incorrect Initial Stock calc for Semi-finished products in SNP PBook

Dear all,
Situation is as follows:
The Stock list on /SAPAPO/RRP3(Product View) matches the Stock in ECC (MMBE) perfectly. Also when we load the product in our SNP planning book, right click on the Stock on Hand and then Display Stock, it matches the RRP3 and the ECC stock.
Still the actual Initial stock displayed in the Planning book Cell in the initial column and thereafter is different from what the actual sum of stocks should be. This quantity is huge (in millions!). There is no Receipts planned which can contribute to this!!!
Is this a known bug in SAP? Can we rectify by running any programs?
Note: Already tried CCR, OM17, everything looks fine (which actually is because RRP3 view matched ECC perfectly.)
Kindly help.
Regards,
Rimjhim

Hi ,
I couldn't find any problem with the macro.
One more observation:
The UOM in ECC is KG (in transaction MMBE). The base UOM in APO is ZUN (customized Tonnes).
The conversion in Prod Master is 100 ZUN=7484 KG
If we change this conversion to 1 ZUN = 1 KG then in the planning book the Initial Stock start showing as OK.
The random value shown earlier doesn't seem connected to the UOM conversion, it's just a very very high value. How can there be a connection between UOM conversion and the Initial Stock display.
Any ideas?

Rimjhim

Posting of semi finished products

Hello Everyone,
I had an issue regarding posting of semi finished products. Earlier during production, Production executives had created some production orders for semi finished products and had not transferred the corresponding quantities to the store. Still production continued for the top level finished products and GR has occured for the same. Later these production orders for finished products were also set the status TECO.
Now upon analysing the system still shows the production orders open for the semi-finished products. Now its practically impossible to trace back against which superior level order this semi finished order is raised.
Moreover since these orders are still open, the system does'nt raise additional orders for the corresponding quantities wheras these orders were raised earlier for previous orders.
I would greatly appreciate any help to tackle this issue.
Sincerely,
Aji Kurian Mani

Hi,
Pls run the optimiser with prod = A and Loc = A+B
It should work fine. Also in the t code /sapapo/mvm, check if the check box for 'No planned orders without source of supply' is clicked or not. If it is clicked, then you need to maintain a PPM for prod A at loc B. If it is unchecked, optimiser will create planned orders for A at loc B even without a PPM.
Pls let me know if this helps.

Creating a production order for a semi finished product

Hi
I am having a multi level bom scenario over here.
one of the bom components of the header material is a semi finished product.
I am using the planing stratagy 40 for that material.
in standard sap when i create a production order for header material. the requirement gets transerd to all the components. if the components are not available then only a requirement is placed. when i run MRP that requirement gets converted in to a planned order. which converts in to a purchase req or a production order,
well for my semi finished product. its a Work in process item. there wont be any stock for that item in the storage location any time.
what my requirement is. when i create a production order for my finished product it should automatically create a production order for the semi finished product.
is this possible with some configuration settings.

Dear Deepu,
for ur requirement u need to maintain MRP type PD for FERT material and also for ur HALB.
If u run MRP only, it will create planned order for FERT and for all its dependent requirement(for PD).
If u create order manually for FERT material then it will not create order for HALB material, u need to create manualy for this also.

Creating finished-product with necessary semi-finished product with BAPI

Hi,
I really need help to be able to save materials made up of several parts with BAPI.
Let me show you the idea by using the example of car (finished product):
Car is built from a lot of components, for instance:
- 1 engine
- 4 tires
- 2 front lights
etc.
My task is to implement a method responsible for creating a finished product and all necessary semi-finished products which are connected with ready prod and save them in SAP. Furthermore I've got to create a bill of materials.
Has somebody faced such a problem? How have you solved it?
Looking forward your answers.
BR,
Rafal

ok....but do u know which option I am supposed to enable to create BOM?
According to my best knowledge there is no BAPI to create BOM...i tried to find.
I found out that I have to create material master record for trading goods(type: HAWA ) and create Semifinished products (HALB) by using BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA (hopefully I'm right), but I still don't know how to connect them with each other and then use to create BOM.
Every help will be warmly appreciated.
If somebody may provide me an example it will be great.

Production for semi finished material

Dear gurus,
i had a scenario where semi finished material is combination of different batches,for production of semi finished material i had 6 operations in which up to 3rd operation i have 3 production lines in which each batch in the line is identified by different batch no and in 4th operation all batches are mixed and if new batch is coming into 4th operation the material which is already in 4th operation enters 5th&6th operation continously for semi finished material and enters remaining operations for finished material production .semifinished material is not stored in any place it is continously flow from 6th operation which is semi finished material to another operation which is used for producing finished material.
suppose for week i require 100 m3 of finished material , and for each batch i can produce 2 m3 in each production line ,i require 50 batches for week .the production is continous .
can i follow by creating 50 production orders each of different batch ,by creating semi finished material in 4th operation , can any one please suggest .
Thanks

Hi Jitendra,
Checking Control (OPJJ) has no relation with MRP.It is useful in the case of Plan and Production / Process Order only to find out Missing part.
Now come to MRP again.
You have a choice of only 3 type of stocks to include or exclude them during MRP run while rest of the things like (PO,PR,Reservation etc are consider by default)
Go to OPPQ and after selecting Plant go to Available Stock.You will find that options,
- Stock in Transfer
- Block Stock
- Restricted Stock.
And one more thing Reservation is not a available stock but its one kind requirement and if there is no stock then system will activate the Planning file entry and during next MRP run it will generate Planning proposal also.

MIC's of finished product should get transferred to Semi-finished product

Hi all,
I have the following requirement
Based on the Customer requirement, sales order will be created. Two line items will be created in the sales order.
First item: 100kg
Second item: 5 kg (this will be the sample to be sent to the customer for approval)
first item and second item will have different material codes.
Now the process order will be created,released and confirmed. 04 inspection type will be activated for the material.
The MIC's of the finished product ( A) should get transferred to the semi-finished product (A1)
For X customer the MIC's for finished product (A) is a1, a2 and a3 and same should get transferred to semi finished product (A1 )
For Y customer the MIC's for finished product (B) is b1, b2 and b3 and same should get transferred to semi finished product (A1 )
The material code for the finished product will be different, but the semi-finished product (A1) will be same always.
When ever inspection lot gets generated the MIC's of the finished material should get transferred to semi finished product
Kindly provide your valuable inputs to address this scenario
Regards
Hari

I think I understand what you are attempting to do. The bottom line is that you are trying to use one material number to serve as the "sample material" for all your products. Lets call the sample material mrtrl# 9000122.
You have a make to order process so you first create a process order for the product and inspect it according to the customer's requirements. You make the UD.
Now when you make product A, you want those characteristic MIC values to copy to the sample material 9000122 inspection lot which is created from a separate process order using product A as the raw material.
When you make product B, you want those MIC charcteristic values to copy to the same sample material 9000122 to an inspection lot created from a separate process order using product B as the raw material.
I am guessing the intent is to keep the batch number the same between the FERT product batch number and the sample material.
I would like to suggest to you two other alternatives which I'm not sure will work for your design but I think it is worth a try and might save some work.
1) Have you looked at setting up your sample product as a by-product of the first process order? You can confirm the finished qty and the sample qty from the same original process order. This will then create your two 04 inspection lots. You would recrod results on the first primary product. Then enter results recording and I think you'll be able to have that set up to copy over the resutls from the primary product. If you can't with the standard SAP, I beleive you'll find the ability in copy inspection results to add your own custom FM that would do the copy for you that you are looking for.
Of course the inspection plan for the by-product sample will have to have all the characteristics in the plan that could ever be expected from any primary product using this process.
2) The other possibility would be to just have the person making the UD on the primary inspection products inspection lot, to post a sample qty "to other quantity". They would always of course post to the sample material. If the characteristics in the lot match up to general characteristics in the batch class for the sample, the resutls will be transferred to the batch. Report your sample reuslts from the batch record and the specs from the inspection lot in the COA.

Stop netting for semi finished materials

Hi all,
   We are still using 46C. We have finished goods that are configurable and we use SUPERBOMs to pick the component that go along with the finished goods. I have a requirement where I have to stop the netting process for some semi finished materials in a certain storage location. We currently use strategy group '40' for semi finished.
I tried to use storage location MRP indicatior (MRP 4 view, sloc indicator). By doing so MRP stopped the netting which is what I wanted but it also stopped creating any new planned orders.
I want planned orders to be created but MRP should not read the stock. For example if the requirement is of 10 pcs and I have lets say 6 in stock, I still need planned order of 10.
I am more leaning toward writing a Z program to wipe out the inventory every night before the MRP run but was curious to see if there is any strategy group that I can use on the components to satisfy my needs.
Thanks a lot for your help.
Regards
Srikant

Hi Srikant
    For this situation you can go for a User Exit! while MRP run
    1. first create a user defined field in the material master for Unrestricted stock exclusion.
   2, create the User exit which should be used while plant level MRP run.
    the user exit should select materials for exclusion of SLOC stock.
for those materials you can use the following logic in the user Exit
if the Unres stock is availbale then then user exit should dynamically create a safety stock value so that MRP will neglect the Unrestricted stock and create the Proc Proposal for full quantity.
hope this helps

Transfering Semi finished products

Hi,
A suggestion:
Since you mention the children were not issued to the parent orders, but yet the parent orders were completed & TECO'd in the system, run COOIS report by selecting Components as the list option & entering the components for component & tick the checkbox reduced reading for which you're facing this issue.
Now using filters, exclude components which are deleted & issued completely. This should give you a finite list of orders for which these components havent been issued. Now you will know to which orders these components need to be issued. Having said that, before proceeding to post these components to the SFO's check with your finance personnel as many of these SFO's could have already been settled.

Vivek

Material price for semi finished.

Dear All,
What is the suggesatable price control for semi finished goods. i.e., either moving ave price or standard price.
Regards,
Venkat.

Dear Venkat Ramana,
SAP recommends: 
Price control V for Raw materials and Trading goods;
S for Semi-finished products and Finished products.
You are required to valuate Semi-finished and Finished products with actual prices that correspond to the costs of the actual production, SAP recommends you use the function of the material ledger for this. Here, a periodic actual price is created that is calculated on a much more reliable basis than the moving average price. A so-called price limiter quantity is used. In addition, it is possible as of Release 4.5 to even take into account the variances of the actual prices of the Raw materials in the valuation of the Semi-finished and Finished products that are manufactured from it.
With regards,
B.Ravindranath
