The follow up material results in recurssiveness

HI,
I have two BOMs one is plant specific production bom
& the other is group BOM which is engineering/design bom
     Production Bom(plant specific)     
parent     MO     
child 1     m1     
child 2     m2     
     Enginering/desing bom(indepent of plant)     
parent     MO     
child 1     m1     
child 2     m2     
     m3     
So in material master  of m3  iam trying to discontinue with  discontinuation indicator 1 with follow up material MO
The sytem is issuing the "the specified followup material results in recurssiveness"
why the system is throwing this message though m3 is not present in the production bom (which is plant specific)

Praveen,
Are you trying to say that if you maintain the material BOM for M0 with M3 as component and a follow up material as M0 again..?
It will definitely a recursive bom.
Or is it that you are maintaining a material M3 with follow up material as M0, where the M0 bom has components as m1 and m2 and you are getting this error in this case?
Please explain clearly..

  • Process Order is not picking the follow-up material

    Hi Gurus,
    We have changed a BOM by discontinuing a component and giving a follow-up material with the valid from dates as 18/5/09.  and then MRP is run on that nignt  ( mrp job set to run daily in the back ground). and on 19/05/09 a Process Order is created from the planned orders genereated by the MRP run.
    now, we found that the new componenet (follow-up) is not copied into the process order, but the old compomemt (discontinued) is removed. 
    MRP parameters are correctly defined (Planning mode is set to 2) .  Please let me know if we are missing anything.
    Thanks,

    Hi
    Pl ensure that the Following requirements have been met before you can use the discontinuation functionality:
    1) Both materials must be planned using MRP.
    2) The base unit of measure of the follow-up material must be the same as the base unit of measure of the discontinued material.
    3) You must enter discontinuation data for the discontinued item and follow-up data for the follow-up item.
    and Also refer the SAP link for Complete Details

  • Discontinuation indicator and follow up material.

    Hi,
    I am facing the strange issue for which i need your expertise. The requirement is like:
    1. "X" material is discontinued and "Y" is as follow-up in two plants A & B. Discontinaution group and follow-up group has also been assigned in the BOM.
    2. Now The client want to reverse the settings . means "Y" should be discontinued and "X" should be follow-up in both plants A & B.
    Now I have removed the discontinuation indicator and follow up material from "X" in both plants. But when I am going to discontinue the "Y" material and putting " X" as a follow-up material, The system is giving the message "The specified follow-up material results in recursiveness
    Message no. M3609
    Diagnosis
    You have entered a follow-up material. However, the BOM explosion for the follow-up material leads to the discontinued material, resulting in unpermissible recursiveness.
    Procedure
    Enter another follow-up material or cancel the entry.
    Please suggest me where I am missing in my settings and what is the reason for this message.
    Regards
    Deepak Sharma

    Dear ,
    Check the following  :
    1.Validity of the Bill Of Material or any deletion flag is set in the present BOM.
    2.Please check the following SAP notes :
    Note 161742 - Consulting note: BOM recursion/low-level code 999
    Note 839879 - Trace 'BOM is recursive'
    Note 139517 - Recursiveness for follow-up materials
    Note 42891 - Recursiveness check
    Hope this will help you to figure it out

    Hi, I am having a little trouble with exporting images to another drive and Catalogue and need some help if anyone can give me some advice
    I am currently using Lightroom 5.6 and operating on a Mac with OSX Ver 10.9.5.
    I am receiving an error problem when doing the following -
    I am exporting selected photos from a particular Catalogue saved on Drive 1 to a folder created on another Drive where a Lightroom Catalogue has been created. In this Catalogue I have arranged for the images once exported to be moved to a different folder - I used the Auto Import process under the File dialogue box.
    When processing the Export I receive an error message for each of the images being exported indicating the following -
    Heading Import Results
    Some import operations were not performed
    Could not move a file to requested location. (1)
    then a description of the image with file name
    Box Save As                                  Box  OK
    If I click the OK button to each image I can then go to the other Catalogue and all images are then transferred to the file as required.
    To click the OK button each time is time consuming, possibly I have missed an action or maybe you can advise an alternative method to save the time in actioning this process.
    Thanks if you can can help out.

    Thank You, but this is a gong show. Why is something that is so important to us all so very, very difficult to do?

  • Alternative item with follow-up material

    Hi,
    I have a finished product X for that component A-1 pc and B-1 pc is required.
    Now A cannot be used in next year thatu2019s why my client wants 1) to issue 2 pcs of A instead of A-1pc and B-1 pc until the stock of A is available. 2) If the stock for A is not available then only it goes for B.
    1) I have used alternative item grp with priority: 1, strategy : 2, usage probability 200% for A and priority: 2, strategy : 1, usage probability 0%  for B
    System issues 2 pc of A only
    2) Also maintained follow up material as B so if there is any shortage for A then system is looking for B.
    Problem is with the above setting the follow up material and alternative item is not working together.  System issues only 1 pc of A if I maintained B as follow up material. If I maintain only alternate item then it issues 2 pc of A but at the same time it will not check B if any shortage occur.
    Pls help.

    You can only define discontinuation data for a stock item or variable-size item that is not assigned to an alternative item group.
    Once you have maintained discontinuation data for an item, you can no longer assign the item to an alternative item group.

  • Error Follow up Material

    Hi all,
    I'm facing this problem:
    I have indicated in the material master data that a material is substituded by another one (follow up material type 1).
    When I create and release the production order the new material is diplayed correctly (the old with quantity 0 and the new one with quantity 1).
    But, when I read the PP master data there is an error : i see in the components the old with quantity 1 and the new with quantity 0).
    The validity date indicated in material master data is 01.01.2011 so in the past. All data seem correct.
    I'm using configurable material and I created the sales order bom with CU51 transaction. So the Production Order reads Sales Order BOM.
    May you help me?
    Thanks.
    MG

    HI, in my system I don't use the availability check.
    I inserted the role PP in my production order type without check but, when i run the Availability check into the production order the follow up material is wrong. I have no error message but the quantity proposed is 1 for the old material and 0 for the follow up. This is the error.

  • CK11N  Follow-up material not taken into account when costing

    We are running the standard cost with quantity structure and we have detected that all the follow-up information is not taken into account to determine the bill of materials that will be used to calculate the standard cost.
    SAP helpdesk has answered me the following:
    "The situation in product cost planning is we do not check availability of any material stocks, and therefore we cannot provide the same functionality as MRP. You will have to create a new BOM that includes
    the follow-up material or apply the modification to take into account the follow-up part."
    Please, if anyone knows any user-exit we could use to develop something to fix it, we would appreciate it very much. It is a normal process and we can not say it does not work.
    Regards, and waiting for any solution.
    Yolanda.

    Dear,
    Are you getting these reservation in MD04?
    Check the Planning file entry for these material in MD21 if not then create it through MD20 and take MRP run with planning mode -3 Deleted and recreated. And Processing key NETCH.
    Also check the The firmed receipt is within the rescheduling horizon. The rescheduling horizon is set in Customizing for the MRP group (Transaction OPPR, Table T438M). A default value can be predefined in the Customizing of plant data (Transaction OPPQ, Table T399D). define the longer duration for it.
    The firmed receipt (the MRP element) participates in the rescheduling check. You can set which MRP elements participate in the rescheduling check in the Customizing of the plant data (Transaction OPPQ).
    Else you can carry out modification A using the MD_CHANGE_MRP_DATA BAdI and the CONSIDER_RESB method without making a modification.

  • Follow-Up material items in MRP4 View

    Hi All,
    In MRP4 view, in discontinued part, if we set follow-up material, MRP will trigger requests for the follow –up material if the stock of existing material is zero.
    Now there is a requirement, so that even though follow-up material is updated, system should be trigger any requirement for the existing one, though the stock is zero, ie, the follow up material is only for an information .
    Is it possible ? can we do it with  changing the effectively of date in eff.out (set it as future unlimited)
    Thanks for the help.

  • Follow up Material (different BUoM)

    Dear Experts,
    We have a discontinuation setup here.  The PM1 will be replaced by PM2.  PM1 (sticker) has PCE as BUoM, while PM2 (Tape) has ROL in BUoM.   I tried putting the material as Followup, but system would not allow since they both have different BUoM. 
    Please help.  Thanks!

    Dear,
    The base unit of measure of the follow-up material is the same as the base unit of measure of the discontinued material.
    But try this:
    You can use follow-up setting (set PM2 as follow-up of PM1 in MRP 4 view of material master if this follow-up scenario is valid for all BOM) with discontinuation indicator '1', w/o effective-out date. In this case PM1's stock will run out (no PldOrd, PR, etc) will be created, and from the date, when PM1's stock runs out, MRP will calculate with PM2.
    As I told you, according to my best knowledge, you cannot realize this with different base unit of measures. (you have to change the BUOM of one of the related material masters or create a new material master if you cannot cope with BUOM-change).
    Check this and revert back.

  • Follow-up material being assigned to another follow-up material

    Hi,
    I am trying to assign a follow-up material A to material B but get the following message:
    Material B is already a follow-up material in plant X.
    This is not a warning or an error message but I still can't save the changes.
    I have tried to search for any other material that has material B assigned as a follow-up material but can't find anything.
    How can I get around this?
    Thanks

    Dear Deeksha,
    If my understanding is correct then I guess already material B itself is acting/assigned as a followup material for some other
    material(say For example for material C in the plant X) and in return you are trying to assign a material A as a followup material
    for B.
    Check in table MARC for the plant X and for field NFMAT = B,identify for which material this acts as a followup material in plant
    X.
    Check and revert

  • How to manage the alternative / interchangeable material in a BOM

    Dear Sir ,
    firstly i appreciate any effor to handle this problem ...
    secondly excuse me for long problem description and details .
    thirdly consider it as a challenge for you .
    Suppose we have a (Finished Goods -> M1,M2) and (Raw Materials -> x1, x2 , x3 , y1 , y2 ) , Suppose the BOMs are :
    M1—( x1 , x3 ) , M2—( x1 , x2 ).
    - We receive Change notes type ( A , B , or C ) from the designer :
    Type (A) : For M1 that x1 will be replaced by y1 --> (Stop use of x1 for M1)
    or type (B) : For M2 that y1 will be Alternative for x2. (It mean that we can use both of x2 & y1 alternatively)
    or Type (C) : For M2 that x1 used qty in the BOM will be changed (change in Qty.)
    Find the flow chart in order to know the requirements of the business .
    So how i can control this bussines for each type (A,B,C) ?

    dear,
    all alternative at SAP system can you handle by many  method ,
    1- if you didn't use this item again related to all BOM you can use
    follow up material method .
    you can use it at master data tap "mrp4" put discontinue indicator 1 also, put the follow up material.
    after that go to specified BOM and link the follow up material item by follow up group,
    2- if you will use  two alternative item parallel you can use
    alt.item method :
    you make alt. item related to 2 item at one BOM , it will depend to strategy method
    3- if you know the date that the old material will sufficient your production ,you can use the
    changing note method
    you will create changing note and after that apply it at the BOM .
    thx.

  • When I attempt to log on to I tunes I get the following message  "The registry settings used by the I tunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing  This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software  Please reinstall

    When I attempt to log on to I tunes I get the following message:
    "The registry settings used by the I Tunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing.
      This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please re-install I Tunes."
    To my knowledge no new software has been installed.  I have tried un-installing and re-installing I Tunes but I still
    get the same message.
    Can anyone offer any suggestions?  Do I need to download a new driver?

    I can get down as far as step 11 but it shows nothing about upper filters and when I type on "If the Upper Filters entry is missing follow these instructions" nothing happens
    Do you mean you can't see the instructions on what to do if there is no UpperFilters entry?
    If so, here's the relevant instructions for that step:
    On the right side of the Registry Editor window, right-click the UpperFilters entry and choose Modify from the shortcut menu.
    Right-click the empty white space within the right-hand portion of the Registry Editor window. From the shortcut menu, choose New > Multi-String Value.
    Name this new value "UpperFilters" (without the quotes). Then, right-click the newly created UpperFilters entry and choose Modify from the shortcut menu.

  • I received the following message when iTunes launches: "The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning CD's or DVD's are missing.  This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning softwarre.  Please reinstall iTunes"

    Everytime I connect my iPod Touch (4th Gen) to my laptop, running Win 7 (64 bit) I get the message "The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing.  This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software.  Please reinstall iTunes"  I have reinstalled iTunes several times and it has not fixed the issue.  I am running ver 10.2.2.12 of iTunes.  I HAVE NOT installed any other burning software to my laptop either.  I haven't tried uninstalling iTunes and then re-installing it yet.  Would that perhaps fix the problem?  I've read that many users have had issues with the new version of the software and I was wondering if that might be causing my issue.  I'd like to point out that iTunes seems to work after getting rid of the message, but I haven't tried to burn any CDs or put music from a CD to my laptop.  Any ideas on how to get rid of the annoying message?
    I also am having trouble hooking up with our other computers using  Homegroup.  I noticed quite a lot of people are having the same issue and hopefully they come up with a fix for that soon.
    Thanks in advance.

    I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)

    If you're still getting the error message (especially when you plug in the Touch), I'd check for a device filter confusion on the PC. (They can affect the connection of USB devices to a PC, as well as burning and importing CDs.) For that one, see:

    Please can somebody help me, so I can make backup.

    It's likely that your backup is corrupt. Try deleting the backup, then right click on the name of the phone in iTunes and choose "back up". To delete go to iTunes Preferences, Devices tab. Highlight and delete the most recent backup. Note that sometimes deleting this way leaves some garbage around that can still interfere with a new backup, so you should verify that the backup folder is empty.
    from: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4946
    The folder where your backup data are stored varies depending on the computer's operating system.   Make sure the backup folder is included in your periodic data-backup routine.
    iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
    Mac:  ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    Windows XP:  \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Note: To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, and choose Run. Type %appdata% and click OK.
    Windows Vista and Windows 7:  \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Note: To quickly access the AppData folder, click Start. In the search bar, type %appdata% and press the Return key.

  • When using private browsing to view image results in Safari 5.1.3, only the first two rows of results are visible, the following four or so rows display greyed out place holders, and the safe search button is inoperable. Suggestions?

    When using private browsing to view image results in Safari 5.1.3, only the first two rows of results are visible, the following four or so rows display greyed out place holders, the remainder of the results page is blank, and the safe search button is inoperable. When I turn off private browsing and refresh the page, everything works again.
    Anyone else having this problem?

    I have got the same behaviour after the last Safari Update to 5.1.3. It seems that Safari now handles some scripts in a new way. If you debug the Google Website, you will see, that there is some Javascript Error, that seems to prevent to write into local cache. After some searching I wasn't able to finde a solution for this problem, other then disabling Javascript while private browsing to prevent the script loading. You then are able to use Google with the old layout. The option to disable JavaScript can be found in the Menu "Developer", wich has to be enabled in Safari in the options first.
    In my opinion this is a bug that is now occuring, because Apple changed something in private browsing and that has to be fixed by Google now, to run again. Or we will have to wait for 5.1.4, as you can read online Apple will change and bugfix the javascript engine in that version, perhaps this fixes the problem as well. I hope so!
    If anyone is in the developer program perhaps you could test this with the beta of 5.1.4 and tell us if it works.
