Strategy 50 for AFS material

Hi,
In my current project we use AFS material, For a finished material we use strategy 50, after creating planned independent requirement, without running MRP, in stock requirements we can able to see the planned orders. How is this possible?. Also Without having sales orders, we are able to convert the planned order to production order for finished product.
Kindly guide me, how I can come out from this problem.
Regards,
Umashankar

Hi Umashankar,
It seems the transaction dependent MRP is activated in your system and becos of this when ever there is a MRP relevant change from the transactions listed in transaction group the MRP will trigger automatically in background.In your case please check if transaction J3A1 is maintained in the list of transactions.
The planned independent requirements for the strategy group 50 will be of type VSE which is not supported in AFS. AFS supports only the requirements type VSF (strategy 40).
Thanks,
Ravi Kumar

Reg. sizewise material price for AFS material

Dear Experts
In AFS material how to give size wise material price. Because AFS has size and color in Grid.
Thanks in advance
Rajakumar.K

Dear Rajkumar,
You need to do the following.
Please check the Pricing indicator of that material in the material master - under AFS sales Data view.
If you want to carry out Grid level prizing - the pricing indicator should be 01.
And also ensure the following..
In SPRO - IMG - SD - Basic Functions - Pricing - Pricing control - Define AFS specific condition types.
Check the check box - Dim.Condition(for Grid level pricing) - against your condition type - which will make the condition type to be treated as AFS-specific.
The same answer is available in the forum.. Refer the link - answer gn by me..

Run Sales order wise MRP - AFS material

Dear Experts,
Here my client asking to run the MRP for sales order wise. recently we did the AFS implementation for one of our client. there is an common T-code for MRP run, for AFS material is /AFS/MD02 . they are using material based BOM ( Bill of material). so there might be common material for different sales order i.e if am using material XXXX for Sales order 500 mean , same material will present in Sales order 510 too. current system
( T-code /AFS/MD02) will run MRP of material XXXX Both 500,510 sales order but my requirement is i need to restrict to single sales order.
any one guide me to resolve my requirements.
Thanks in advance...
Regards,
Thangam.P

Dear Venkat,
You are right MD50 does not support AFS material.
Please Try running : /AFS/MD02.

PO Release Strategy - Only for non material based

Experts,
I have a requirement to implement a release strategy for a single plant for POs for NON material based purchases ( only for using account assignments, cost centers etc).
The release strategy I configured is working only for the specific plant I want... However, it works whether its a material based PO or a non material based PO.
How do i get the strategy to work for only the service based purchases, and not the material ones?

Thanks for the replies but I'm not sure if they are applicable...
I did create a characterstic for item categories and added the one's I wanted to have... I did NOT include a blank because i thought that would make the difference between the material based PO and non PO. When we I create Po with material (even with no account assignment) it still goes through release.
Any reason why that is?
I dont believe the material group solution will not work either because we require material group for material and non material based POs..
Side note - when i try to use CEKKO with KTTNP, i get a "KTTNP does not exist error." So i used EKPO - KTTNP... hopefully thats ok, but please let me know if its not.

PR release strategy for material group

Hi,
I have 2 different line items in PR with 2 different mat groups. How can I set up a release strategy for this scenario. Ex-line No 1 has mat group X and line item 2 has mat group Y. Do I release at header level or item wise release is possible

Hello
In PR you can set up this release strategy without classification release strategy.
w/o classification strategy you can define the release line item wise. so you can give diiff materual group you can enter with line item wise.

'BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE' takes more time for creating material document

Hi Experts,
I m using 'BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE' in my custom report, it takes more time for creating Material documents.
Please let me know if there is any option to overcome this issue.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
please check if some of following OSS notes are not valid for your problem:
[Note 838036 - AFS: Performance issues during GR with ref. to PO|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/838036]
[Note 391142 - Performance: Goods receipt for inbound delivery|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/391142]
[Note 1414418 - Goods receipt for customer returns: Various corrections|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1414418]
The other idea is not to commit each call, but executing commit of packages e.g. after 1000 BAPI calls.
But otherwise, I am afraid you can not do a lot about performance of standard BAPI. Maybe there is some customer enhancement which is taking too long inside the BAPI, but this has to be analysed by you. To analyse performance, just execute your program via tr. SE30.

'BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE' takes more time for creating material document for the 1st time

Hi Experts,
I am doing goods movement using BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE in my custom code.
Then there is some functional configuration such that, material documents and TR and TO are getting created.
Now I need to get TO and TR numbers from LTAK table passing material documnt number and year, which I got from above used BAPI.
The problem I am facing is very strange.
Only for the 1st time, I am not finding TR and TO values in LTAK table. And subsequent runs I get entries in LTAK in there is a wait time of 5 seconds after bapi call.
I have found 'BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE' takes more time for creating material document with similar issue, but no solution or explanation.
Note 838036 says something similar, but it seems obsolete.
Kindly share your expertise and opinions.
Thanks,
Anil

is it possible to maintain raw fabric and Colored fabric with same mat.code?
I have configured the material as well all pricing BOM, Recipe its working properly.
How can I assign the material to Operation? I am getting GRAY field in New Assignment in change recipe mode ..
Is it possible to use Material type other than KMAT? I want to use Finish material type. If yes How?
Right now I can create Process order from the Sales order but I am facing error in confirmation that Sales Order stock does not exist than I have to transfered stock to Sales order and error get solved temporarily but I want to avoid this manual transaction to remove this error.

Regards,
Bhavik dangi.

Hi,
You can use variant configuration for selling the colored fabric. Use the basic fabric as raw. and maintain variant configuarations to have many variants.
Please use strategy 25. When you run MRP the planned orders will be generated and will be assigned to the sales orders. You can see it on the account assignment tab.
In material master pleasse maintain Individual collective requirement indicator to 1-individual in the MRP-4 view.
Then the stocks will be reserved to the specific sales orders.
Thanks and regards

Go Live Strategy for CO/MM

Hi,
Please suggest the Go Live strategy for CO / MM especially from Product costing point of view.
I have an issue, whether material prices of FG and SFG should be uploaded along with the quantity?
1.Whether, these prices are to be maintained in material master before executing the standard cost estimate?
2.What would happen if std prices are maintained (based on legacy stock valuation) and thereafter std cost is run. Whether the differential would be recorded as material revaluation?
3.Suppose Go live is on 1st.. the stock valuation of 31st would be available only on 3rd.. then in such cases, I would have to execute the std cost.. to ensure production/despatches are not stopped on 1st and 2nd. In such case how would the FG/SFG value as per initial upload match with Material master.
Please suggest the implications as well as the best practice.
Regards

Hi Swapnik,
Your understanding is correct. Pls go through the following...
But, there are two strategies for this...
1. Which I explained previously...in this case, you need to explaine the Core Team to estimate the expected PDiff in SAP and make suitable JV and neutralise the balances at the time of upload itself. See, literally when you released the Cost Estimate for the Products and Inventory Qty balances are available in Excel (or legacy) you would definitely come to know what is going to be the difference between legacy Inventory Value and SAP Inventory Value. Even the Business will have an option to reconsider their Quantity Structure and other things.
This would be suggestible to Core Team when they have very systematic data and approach available with them about the Standard Costs of the Products.
2. The second one is your strategy...
Upload the Inventory with Values, then run the Std Cost Estimate. In this method, you should be sure of how much PDiff is going to hit your P&L. You can even change the sequence of steps you mentioned as follows...
1. You upload Material (inputs) Qty and value
2. Stock of FG and SFG with value is uploaded - This would tally with GL balance upload
3. Std cost of SFG and FG would be run and released. Difference is posted in material revaluation account.
The decision whether you have to follow method 1 or 2, you are the best person to choose depending on your client. It is an open secret that there would be lot of manipulations to be done in data by them so that they would not face any problem they get into SAP. Method 1 will be more suitable for such instances....
Hope you got it...revert back for futher explanation...
