Sub storage location for Finished Goods Material

Hi MM Gurus,
In our organization, FG materials are physically stored under different sub areas, even though the same lies under single storage location in SAP. Currently the users are downloading the stock information into excel and allocating the mentioned physical storage areas
Since the option of creating further storage locations at the same level or going for warehouse management is not feasible for us, can we resolve this issue by going for any sub storage location (sub dividing the existing storage location into physically storage sub areas)?
Requst your valuable suggestions in this regard.
Thanks & Regards,
Vinod

Yes your requirement is possible and I have seen it working in one of our client. They named the sub storage location, as STORAGE BIN, and this storage bin data is stored in material master under storage location view. This input field is created with help of abap.
This way your storage location is distributed under sub storage locations namely storage bin, this way you can create areas of your storage location without turning on warehouse management and then assign materials to the storage location and then to storage bin, thus meeting your requirement.

Storage Location for Trading Goods

Dear Experts,
I need to create a different Storage location for Trading Goods.
Process Flow :GRs > Sales order > Deliver > Billing.
Normally in Trading goods we don't do Delivery but in our system we required to create delivery.
So please Give me some idea & Link to make it happen.
Thanks & Regards,
Olet Malla

The nature of a trading good (material type HAWA) is to buy a material from external company, store it, and sell it to customers.
The nature of a finished goods is produce it yourself, store it and then sell it to cusotmers.
So why would one need to use a FERT and exchange the naming if HAWA just does what it is designed for?
if you need an extra storage location for such a material type, then create one with OX09
(please dont create logical storage locations, this just confuses your users, stick to the physical locations)

Good Issue batch Flows at GR for finish good Material

Hi Gurus,
Please Help me on below scenarios
1)Good issue material batch and its characteristic automatically flows to Finish Good Material at the time of Good receipt of Process order.
2) If Component of Finish Material ie Good issue material is having the different batches issued to the Finish material Process order then System should only consider those batch which is having the Characteristic values is having more that 50%
Exam : Good Issue material X and requirement qty 10
Then Component issue 10 qty with 2 batches A and B
Batch A Qty 5 : Char Value Batch B Qty 5 Char Value
Density 10 Density 15
Tthen Finished Good batch consider only batch B which is having the maximum density.
Here we want the same batch B and it should automacticaly flows to the Finish product at the time of GR ( Process order )
I tried with Batch derivation but we want the same Good issue batch to finished material
Please help me on this scanrios and if we are going for development then how it is possible technically ( with Functioan specification)

Saurabh

Hi Gurus,
Please look above the scenario and reply.

Storage Location for NON valuated material in MIGO

Hi friends ,
I have created a purchase order for NON-Valuated material (UNBW) with Account Assignment "K".I did check the material type UNBW configuration where only Value Update is checked for my Plant.
Now at the time of MIGO , system is asking for Storage lcoation (mandatory) and after MIGO system also updates quantity in Storage Location entered in MIGO.
while in normal cases (like ROH material type) , if we create Account Assigned PO ( like K) , system neither ask for Storage lcoation at the time of MIGO , nor system updates Qty at any storage location.
As per my understanding , if we create Purchase Order with account assignment K , system updates value in consumption and doesn't update Qty in stock (although material is stockable) .....which is simply like immediately issue of material to cost center.
Therefore wondering why system is updating Qty for NON-VALUATED material.
Does non valuated material means , POST value to Cost center (for account assignment K) and Update Qty in stock ?
Like in case of Account Assignment , value gets charged to WBS and qty gets updated as special stock "project"
All replies are welcome .....
Regards
Shrey

By definition UNBW's are ony qty updating and have no value assoicated with them. Since the system needs to stock this qty somewhere it by deafult asks for a Sloc.

Block Storage location for particular material

Hi,
We gave defined storage location for finished product as follows>
1050 - 2-8°
1040 - RT
When I have created one material, wrongly i have created it in 1050 instead of 1040.
Then i have extend that material to 1040. Now that material is showing both storage locations.
Is it possible to block storage location 1050 for this material only?
Because of both SLOC thre are chaces of wrong receipt in 1050.
Pl. help me to solve this problem.
Gkude

Dear Mr. Kunal,
I have flagged storage location for deletion but till for this storage location system allows receipt also system allows stk. transfer in this location.
Pl. help me so that storage location is permanently deleted from the material or system not allow for GR.
Hope for your reply.

How to get unit cost for finished goods in prod order

HI all,
IN a production order of type PP04, there is cost analysis you can get from CO03. This shows the cost for finished goods and BOM components. Would anyone know how the cost for finished goods are calculated ? The issue i have is that the unit cost of the finished goods is not correct. It is higher than what it should be. I looked at the moving avg price at material master but the cost used in calculation is different than in material master. Can anyone shed light how finished goods are calculated and why it is picking up a higher unit cost ? Where is the higher cost coming from for finished goods material as shown in CO03 ? The BOM materials are picking unit cost correctly. Would this have anything to do with cost settlement ?
thank you.
joyce

Hi,
Finished goods price will depend on BOM componenet price, activity price and overhead price. Check whether this prices are picking correctly or not.

Excise Invoice cannot be captured for RG1(Finished Goods) material

Dear Friends,
While creating GR and choosing the option only capture Excise Invoice system showing error as follows:
Excise Invoice cannot be captured for RG1(Finished Goods) material
Message no. 4F276
The Material is a Raw Material(ROH) and Price control is "V".Pl tell me and earlier 3 times GR is done on this material w/o error.
Pl help me how to get rid of this error.
Regards,
Ask

In GR check in Excise item tab under excise item whether it is showing Raw Material or Finished goods?
Simulteneously check in J1ID for the said material & chapter-id combination what material type has been maintained?

Automatically creation of storage location for material, in MF60

Hi all,
my collegue of PP module uses MF60 transaction.
When he puts XXXX as Replenishment storage location, the system tells him this error: To stge loc. XXXX does not exist for material M1010000182 in plant 0001.
In MM i have activate the automatic creation of storage location for plant 0001 and for all movement types.
Why MF60 does not respect this requirement?
If I try to do movement type 311 with MIGO, manually, there's no problem to transfer the material from a storage location to , XXXX s.loc.
Is there something more that I have to do?
Thanks in advance!
Best regards
Alba

Thanks a lot...
the note says:
Summary
Symptom
A material without storage location view exists.
If within a single material document, this material is moved in such a way that no change in stock occurs in total, the system does not create a storage location automatically even if this is set in Customizing.
Additional key words
OMC3, XLAUT
Cause and prerequisites
All postings to a segment (for example, material, plant, storage location) are only executed if a change in stock occurs. Only in this case, storage locations are created automatically. This way it is made sure that no empty segments are created.
Solution
The system behaves correctly.
Header Data
Release Status:
Released on: 07.07.2000 22:00:00
BUT why IF i do 311 in MIGO, system creates automatically storage location (also if no change in stock occurs in total).
AND if doMF60 (that does mouvement 311), system does not create automatically the storage location?
Best regards
Alba

Issue in creating Finish Good Material for specific sales area

I am trying to create a new "finished good material" through "MM01" , after selecting "industory sector" & "Material type" I have also selected the views the next screen comes is for Organization level ,
when I select Plant , sales org & distribution channel and press enter an error comes "Company Code 1000 is not set up for Material Managment".
please help me out.

hi,
Check few things:
1. Check whether the plant is assigned to the co.code which it is showing and the Material is maintained for the same plant...
2. Check whether there is proper assignment of the porg to co.code
Porg to plant, etc...
If plant is not assigned to cocode then assign it in OX18....
Or
If you are using the IDES, then try with the other plant and material...

Any Idoc for "storage location for a material" ?

Hi Everyone,
Does anybody know if there is an IDoc type to insert storage location for a material (Table MARD).
BDC is also an option but IDoc should be a better choice.
Thanks & Regards,
Ankur

Hi Ankur,
Storage location view of a material can be created with
MATMAS message type ( Segment E1MARDM ) . You can also use program RMDATIND with relevant data to add the storage location view.
Cheers.

Open a storage location for a material

Hi,
how can I open a storage location for a material ?
Is also possible to do it automatically ?
Regards

A storage location is customizing, this is in general open to take any material.
depending on the customizing setting for Auto.create storage location you allow SAP to add the storage location view to your material master automatically with the first movement of a material to a storage location or not.
if you dont allow that, then you have to maintain the storage location view in material master manually for each storage location before you can post a movement for this material in a certain storage location.

Block Storage Location for Material Movement

Dear MM Gurus,
pl let us know how to block storage location for a material in Plant.
Requirement is transfer posting (MIGO) should not allow by using 311 mov type in sloc, error message to receive.
example ;
material ; 5000
sloc ; 0001
sloc ; 0002
migo-transfer posting should not happen by using 311
5000
0001 - to 0002
we want to block sloc-0002, how to block sloc, pl help if any solution available.
thanx in advance
regards
srihari

Hi,
You can block the material completely for any movement type by checking <b>X Plant matl status</b> in Basic data view of material master.Or if you want to block specific movement type it will have to done thro authorisation but will apply to all materials .Here the authorisation object M_MSEG_LGO can be worked to remove the movement type or storage loaction .

Kanban for finished goods (discrete manufacturing)

Hi gurus,
I am using kanban for finished goods(with MRP) to triggers production order(discrete manufacturing). If i set the status "empty" system is creating a planned order directly. It is not coming for MRP run. I suppose, that planned order should be created through MRP run(since i am using kanban with MRP). Can you please tell what settings i need to be checked?
Regards
Rajib Pathak

Hi,
Pls. find details about settings for KANBAN With MRP:
KANBAN With MRP
Prerequisites
In this process, the storage location assigned to the supply area is not excluded from MRP.
If a material is planned and procured with MRP, you must make the following settings:
You must maintain a valid MRP type for the material. This means, the setting "ND" (No planning) is not allowed.
You must maintain all other control parameters required for MRP for the material.
You must maintain a repetitive manufacturing profile (in the MRP data screen) for replenishment strategies with a cost collector (in-house production with run schedule quantities, manual KANBAN). In the SAP standard system, a profile is available that is specially intended for KANBAN, that is, using this profile, the system creates a cost collector without a run schedule header.
Features
Here, the total production quantity or the procurement quantities of a certain period are planned in the planning run and the replenishment elements are also created in the planning run. For in-house production, you can use either Repetitive Manufacturing or production orders to plan the production quantities per period. For external procurement, all the standard replenishment elements are available. The replenishment elements created in the planning run, however, are not intended to trigger production or replenishment directly. Instead, they exist to provide the supply source with a preview. Actual production and material flow are controlled and triggered by setting the kanban to FULL and EMPTY. Backflushes and goods receipts are posted with no reference to the kanban. This means that you can backflush daily quantities, for example.
In this procedure, the following is valid for materials with BOMs:
Components that are used in KANBAN materials can be planned using any one of the MRP procedures. However, the system has to be organized so that the supply source does not produce the material for the replenishment element created in MRP immediately but awaits the kanban request.
As the system creates preview data in the procedure with MRP, it is particularly useful for replenishment with run schedule quantities (Repetitive Manufacturing) and scheduling agreement releases.
HOpe this helps.

Tejas

Sub Con Process For Special Stock Material

Dear Experts ,
Can somebody please tell me , what is the procedure for sending the special stock(project) material for sub contracting .
Thanks in advance

Hi Avid,
Materials assigned to sales order or project (that are located in sales order or in project special stock segment) are not "transported" in SAP to the subcontractor.
Please check SAP online help:
http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/4d/2b90b043ad11d189410000e829fbbd/frameset.htm
Subcontracting is also possible in conjunction with sales order stocks and project stocks. The subcontracting orders are account-assigned to a sales order or a WBS element. Thus, the components are not transferred (using a transfer posting) to the "stock of material provided to vendor" but are directly withdrawn from the sales order stock or the project stock at the time of the goods receipt. The material manufactured is also posted to the sales order stock or to the project stock. The cost of subcontracting is then debited to the sales order or WBS element.
Since the components are not transferred to the "stock of material provided to vendor", we recommend that you use a transfer posting to transfer the provided components to a new storage location (for example, 9999). This enables you to obtain an overview of those stocks that are physically located at the subcontractor. This information is particularly important when you carry out a physical inventory of the sales order stocks and project stocks.

Prasath
