New Plant creation - Urgent

Hi all,
I have created a new plant 5500 and did all required changes in SPRO. I have created a sample material and tested mm configurations by creating its PR. while saving the PR, system throws an error that
"Account assignment mandatory for material VS_TEST_1 (enter acc. ***. cat.)". when i enter any thing in account assignment, this error resolves and system asks me a gl account.
we have also other plants in the system and no other material for other plants asks for account assignment category. What configurations should I do so that system does not ask for any account assignment??
Please respond.

Abap dev for new plant

Dear all,
We acquired new plant, and we are inegrating that new plant which is not in sap, into our sap system.
and lots of customizations have to be done.
I understand that on the mm front new plants creation, assignments to cocode, BA etc happen.
I am quite sure about abap front.
What developemnts would be needed on abap front:
like extension of all teh materials to the new plant. I think this can be handled through LSMW.
what else abap developments do i expect.

This will depend on, when and where the data related with plant is required.
As per my understanding the ABAP development which summarize the data at plant level will be impacted.
In case , you have hardcoded values on the basis of plant , then you have to consider the new plant also.
Get all the Z reports related with plant information and check. Its will be easy if you view the modification log and naming convertion.Hope it help you.

What settings we need to check in SD module while creating the new plant.

Dear Friends,

Creation a new plant by copying

Dear all,
I working in a project where we need to merge on plant to a new company code.
I believe that can be solve with Tcode EC02, which actually will copy all characteristics from that plant to the new one under a different company code, won't it?
This basically means that also all the information related to procedures (like release procedure), Output types for inventory management, etc, etc will be copied, meaning that we wont have to do any new development?
I assume we will still need to do some customizing like MRP Controllers and so on, or this transaction will also copy all tables?
Thanks a lot in advance for your confirmation,
Mario

Hi Suraj,
That basically means that unless we decide to create any new development/customizing everything will be exactly copy as from the original settings, am I correct?
My question comes due to the project where I'm working now. Customer basically wants to close one company code and take everything to another Company Code, therefore we will need to replicate everything as it is now (Plants, SLocations, Controlling Areas, Sales Orgs, etc).
My assumption is that when we create new plants with reference from the old one, also all values under tables will be copied, so we won't have to spend time in customizing, and we will be able to focus on other activities that may require customizing or more work.
Could you please advice me on that point?
Thanks a lot for yor time!

Purchase of Raw Mat by New Plant (CoCd New) from Old Plant (CoCd Old), STO?

Dear all
Our HQ which has an operating Plant A belonged to Company Code (CoCd) A,has acquired Plant B belonged to Company Code B.
And due to the supply change management issue and strategic business location, HQ has decided to move both Plant A and Plant B into a new location (both Plant A and B are located quite far from each other) and these 2 plants are going to be consolidated into a new Plant C with new Company Code C. And CoCd A and B will then cease to operate.
Now, due to the legal requirements, CoCd C will need to purchase all the raw materials from both CoCd A and CoCd B respectively at a different date due to the plant move.
Previously, I have come out with the solutions
1. Extend the material codes of Plant A & B to Plant C. Extend the SLOC as well.
2. Plant C will create normal PO to buy from Plant A, with vendor = Plant A. Price will take from Supplying Plant A.
3. Plant C will perform GR reference to this PO. Here the Stock Account of Plant C will be Debit.
4. To reduce Stock Account of Plant A, perform GI to Scrap. Then FICO will do double entry to bring the value to Customer Account which is Plant C.
5. Since we do not PGI or touch on SD, there is no billing doc and manual customer invoice has to be done.
However, on 2nd thought, I think of to use Stock Transport Order. However, there are a few types of Stock Transport Order in SAP HELP:
1. STO between Plants with 1 step
2. STO between Plants with 2 steps
3. STO with SD delivery
4. STO without Delivery
5. STO with SD delivery and billing.
We are running against time and would prefer not to touch on anything in SD to do STO. And we do not need to monitor the Stock Transit as physical plant move will take place first, that make STO in PLant with 2 steps no applicable.
Requirement:
1. PO raised must take the standard price in Material Master of the supplying plant.
2. It involves buying of stocks of 1 new plant C from the old plant A & B at the respective time. Accoutning document and relevant posting must be audited for legal purpose.
3. If possible, we prefer not to touch on SD or the complicated solution to achieve this purpose.
I have read a lot about the above 5 types of STO but I am unsure which one is best suit me. Please advise.
Thanks.

I just tested with Option 4: Create STO without SD Delivery.
However, in the PO itself, it does not even have the INVOICE TAB at the item level. How am I going to perform Invoice Verfication to put the 17 % input tax which is very important?
However, I have proceded with my testing for STO without Delivery
1. Create PO with UB Doc Type and Item Category U, supply plant = Plant A. However, there is no Invoice Tab at the item.
2. Perform GI reference PO, MVT 351. Here due to come missing config, I have done the following:
     a.Company Clearing Account
     b.Create customer master CoCd CN10
     c.Create vendor master for CoCd CN50
     d.Account type D is not defined for document type WA. Go to OBA7 to tick Customer.
     e.Account type K is not defined for document type WA. Go to OBA7 to tick Vendor
    1 Material doc with 2 accounting doc generated, each for CoCd C and CoCd A
4. Perform GR referenc ePO, MVT 101.
    1 Material doc generated with no accounting doc.
5. MMBE Stock Overview, stock quantity of Plant A is now transferred to new plant C.
There is no way I can do invoice as in MIRO, it said my PO contains no item.
I desperately need my perform STO to have
(a) Invoice Verification to capture input tax 17%
(b) Delivery Cost maintained.
I do not want to complicate the material master maintenance of the sales view of all my 16000 raw materials. That is why I prefer not to go for STO with SD DElivery.
Can anyone please advise?

Creation of a new plant

Hi Gurus,
While creating a new plant in real time, is advisable to copy a standard plant or define a new plant ? Please give reasons.
When a plant is copied what are the various parameters that are copied to the target plant ?
Thanks & regards,
Surender

Surender,
SAP recommends creation of plant by copying. Generally when a new plant is created it should be copied from any of the existing plant which functions similar to the new plant.
The reason for this is when creating we may miss to update all the required configuration and all the configuration tables with links would not get updated. This also reduces time of setting plant as you need to just change/add configuration where ever required in the new plant.
But if you are a fresher trying to test in your test system... create it in create method so that you will understand in the hardway as what all needs to be configured, it will be a good learning which you will not forget. Please dont try this when you are working with a client system as this make give you lot of trouble and need lot time to resolve issues.

What settings we need to check in PS module while creating the new plant.

If we extending the new plant what all the things that we need to check in Project systems module, what all the configuration that needs to performed. Here we are using the Standard Project structure to creating the projects.
But it is not a manufacturing plant. All the service processes are takes place from this plant.
While creating the plant if we are copying from the existing plant, is that the all assignments are copying to the new plant?

Dear Hari,
Mainly two settings have to be extended for using networks for that plant..
1) Extending Network type Parameters - T-code - OPUV
2) Production Order control Parameters - T-code - OPU6
