Tools & spares need to change as non stock items..

Dear All,
My client wants to make spares and tools as non stock items..previously they were stock items and they are around 2000
materials so instead of creating new materials with new material type i have decided to change material types of existing materials using MMAM..
Please tell me is this a right process to do?what will be the effect of this?
What is a correct procedure for this?
Thanks,
Naren

Hi,
You check for the prerequisites
Prerequisites
1 .If you use the material ledger, the material must be settled in it.
2. If the old material type did not require you to specify a price control (for example, standard price or moving average price) for the material, the new material type must not be configured such that it allows only standard price as the price control.
3. If the material has been maintained from the Production Resources/Tools view, this view must also be allowed for the new material type.
4. .If the material is not a configurable material, the new material type must not be allowed only for configurable materials.
5. In Customizing for the Material Master (in Define Attributes of Material Types), the following indicators must have the same setting for the old material type and for the new material type:
Material for process indicator
Manufacturer part indicator
6. If inspection plans are required for quality management inspection of the material, they must be allowed for the new material type.
7. The Material type ID indicator (presently used only in Retail) must be the same for the old material type and for the new material type.
If the material is already in stock, or if reservations or purchasing documents exist for it, the following conditions must also be met:
1. . The stock values of the material of the new material type must be updated in the same G/L account as the stock values of the material of the old material type.
2. Quantities and values of the material of the new material type must be updated in exactly the same way in all plants as quantities and values of the material of the old material type.
3. If there is a transfer requirement for the material and if quants of the material exist, the new material type must also allow the material data to be maintained from the Warehouse Management view.
If the material, whose material type you want to change, was handled in batches and if, due to the maintenance statuses of the new material type, the material can no longer be handled in batches, although batches still exist, you cannot change the material type.

Sales order line for Non Stock items progressed to Closed status, need to be Cancelled.

Hi,
First time posting to this community, I hope someone can help.
Currently we have a setup where non stock items are being added to sales order lines (charges, etc.).
These lines are being progressed through to Closed status automatically.
Users are reporting that they have entered the line in error and would like to change the status of the line to Cancelled.
We are unable to return the material (RMA) as it is non stockable/transactable etc.
Current workaround is to adjust the stock and make finance aware so that the line does not get invoiced.
However, the system still shows that the line is closed (i.e. provided to customer) which is not correct.
Is there any way of getting the line to a status of cancelled?
Your help is very much appreciated.
Regards
Tim

Hi Arif,
Many thanks for the warm welcome.
I'm thinking the only course of action I have for future, is to make the items stockable/transactable/returnable such that an RMA can be performed if added in error.
We can put a large qty into stock at zero value.
Thanks for your help in any case.

Unit of measure for Stock and Non-stock Item in CJ20N

When I attach Material to an activity (item Category N Non-stock item) in Project Builder (CJ20N), It is peaking its Base unit of Measure as unit. Now when I try to change it, it is showing an error
Item category N: Only base unit of measure M allowed
Message no. CO344
But for the same material if I change the item Category to L Stock item, then it allows me to change the unit.
Please guide me regarding this Behavior. Is there any customization, by doing which it will allow me do the same for Non-stock Item or It is not Possible.

firstly I am assuming that the activity is internal processing type - doesn't matter really
now to attach a material select actvity and from the template area click and drag material which will open the material detail screen in the work area
because it is a non stock item I am assuming text description - in the requirements qty you enter the qty and next to it the units - changeable
if you choose a material number maintained as material master then obviously the unit will be from the material master.
If you are using an externally processing activity then in config check OPUU for the network type and see if order unit has been populated - that might be the problem

For the orders which you consumed, do the reversal of that material document. Also create one GR for the qty which has been returned to vendor & keeping the stock to storage location.
In future, define those as stock items, so that this work around won't be required.

Asset procurement & Non stock item procurement

Hi,
I want to procure Asset items. For that do i need to maintain asset master & material master both. Than create Purchase order with AAC as A. Will the PO be framework order or standard PO?Can anyone pls let me know the steps
Also for non stock items do i have to do GR. In that case the goods are coming to stock as i have to give storage location during migo. What is the procedure?

Hi,
For procuring Assets, you will have to maintain Asset master & material master both in your system. You place a PO for the material (which you define as your asset & want to capitalize) & maintain AAC as A- Asset. Then at the item level, you assign the asset code to the masterial. After you post the GRN, the debit entries are posted to the asset.
You have to post the GR for non stock items as well as stock items. The non stock item will be consumed dirctly to the acount assignment you have mentioned. For stock item, the inventory posting will be done. For stock item, the storage location will flow from the PO (if mentioned) otherwise you will have to post it yourself at MIGO in tab 'Where' at Storage Location'.

Non stock item requisition from the order

Dear all,
Material is not available in stores,i have enter the item category as N in the maintenance order ,system created the Purchase requisition & reservation of same material which will be further converted to Purchase order.
When material goods inward from the store that material automatically issued against that reservation,
is it standerd process of SAP?
And now when i am checking in IW13, against same reservation system shows 'no material withdrawn'
And in the order withdrawn quantity & final issue tick mark is activated.
what may the problem?

Dear Shahanawaz,
When you assign the item category "N" to component in component tab view, Normally PR is generated & When you assign the item category "L" to component in component tab view, Normally Reservation is genereted.
Against reservation we directly issue the material as it is already available in Store. But for Non stock items we need to convert PR to PO. After receipt of the material & Making GR that material directly issued to order & not going to Store. This is standard process. Also you can view Material availability status indicator as the process progress as PR to PO conversion & As the GR is made.

Re: Intrastat Report - Excluding Non Stock Items

Hi,
Currently I am in the process of compiling an intrastat report for our last three periods, as prior to this process, the report was being configured manually.
However, I need to know how to exclude a Non Stock Item - i.e. Transport Charges which our company has present in the Items List, but does not use to issues or receive goods.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Kind Regards

the wizzard is nothing else than the combination of the customizing steps for Intrastat. The only thing you can do in the wizzard is to define the inclusion/exclusion indicators.
These are the indicators that you need to enter manually in ME21N to the item.
It does not matter if you start Intrastat slection from the ENGR cockpit transaction or directly with MEIS transaction, the same selection screen appears, and it does not allows you to exclude only certain items of a PO. you can only exclude the whole PO in the selection variant.
Please check again the 2 options I gave you earlier.

Procurement of non stock items without using material master?

Hi Experts
My company follows third party scenerio with non stock items . The procurement process starts from creating a PR thru network by entering a material master and other purchasing information in component overview. I have come to know from some sources that in case of non stock items we may process the same by not using the material master and just entering a material description and other purchase related information. So, my questions is:
Is it possible to follow the procurement process for non stock items without using material master? And if it is Yes, then how will i maintain the tax coditions which i generally do for material and vendor combinations.
Thanks

Hi Chandra,
It is mostly used in projects where you are directly procuring materials for projects and no need to track the inventory.
But i think it is better to create to material Master and use that Material with item cat L so that at any point of time we can track inventory .

Pick List with Non Stock Items

Is there anyway to edit the Pick List so that it displays Non Stock Items?
Our client does not want to track certain Items as Stock and as such they are all created as Non Stock. The Pick List is required to show that stores that the Non Stock Items are included, however they are not displayed.

Hi Kevin,
As the name suggests, the Pick list will only work for Items which are Inventory Items. A non inventory item is not recoganized to have the need to be picked.
Therefore a NON-INVENTORY Item cannot be made to print / be available on the Pick List.

Costing of a non-stocked item in a BOM

Hi Guru's
We are on ECC 5.0. I am having issues when costing assemblies that consume materials created with Item category 'N - Non-stocked items' in BOM.
As an example, Material A is an assembly that consumes a raw material B that is purchased from a vendor. I don't stock raw material B but as and when required to make material A, I will purchase it from the vendor. So I created the BOM for material A with material B in it as a item category 'N'. I am costing material A and it does not pull all the cost components (i.e raw material costs on material B, freight charge from purchasing material B). All it does is shows up a value with out cost component splits.
But on the flip side, if I create the BOM for material A with material B as a stocked item (Item category L), costing of material A is showing all cost components perfectly.
Is there any configuration that I need to do to retrieve cost components when costing assemblies that contain non-stocked items.
Any input is really helpful.
Thanks,
MG

I think this will be a clear example:
Material B - Purchased and non stocked. Has a PIR and a vendor. Material cost is $10 and Freight is $1 - Total cost is $11.
Material A (ZSFG) - Consumes Material B. Material B setup as item category N in BOM for material A.
Costing of material A - costs with a price of $11. This $11 is shown in cost component for semifinished which it should not. Instead, it should split $11 to cost components Raw material - $10 and Freight - $1.

Multiple PR doc type for Maintenance order - Non stock item category

For non-stock item requirement in PM, we create a maintenance order and indicate item category as "N" in components tab. Accordingly a purchase requisition is created as per configuration. We have assigned PR doc. Type “FO – Framework requisition” for Maintenance Order Category.
SPRO - PLANT MAINTENANCE & CS - Maintenance and Service Processing - Maintenance and Service Orders - General Data - Define Account Assignment Cat. and Document Type for Purchase Requisitions
Now according to the new requirement, we need to have different PR Doc type as per CONTROL KEY mentioned in the Maintenance Order.
Example:
If the Control Key is “PM01 - Plant maintenance – internal” the purchase requisition document type should be “NB – Purchase Requisition”. If the Control Key is “PM03 - Plant maintenance-External(services)” the purchase requisition document type should be “FO – Framework Requisition”.
Please advise how to configure the same.
Regards
Sathish Kumar Balakrishnan

Hi Partha,
This is a simple enhancement. In our scenario, we had configured PR document type "FO" in SPRO settings for "Document Type for Purchase Requisitions".
Hence to have "NB" PR document type whenever material components are being indented through maintenance order, we used this enhancement COZF0002
Please instruct your abaper to add similar logic, as shown below.
Enhancement:COZF0002
Functional module:EXIT_SAPLCOZF_002
Include: ZXCOZU02
Logic:
IF sy-tcode eq 'IW21' or sy-tcode eq 'IW22' OR sy-tcode eq 'IW28' OR sy-tcode eq 'IW31' or sy-tcode eq 'IW32' OR sy-tcode eq 'IW38' .
IF resbd_imp-postp = 'N'.
eban_ord_cust_chg-bsart = 'NB'.
ENDIF.
endif.
Hope this helps.

PM - Task List Components with "Non-Stock" item Category

Hi:
I am setting the PM module, in concret the preventive task lists. For a certain operations I have to assign some components to certain operations, but the system only allows to add "Stock Items", I mean the item category of the material row is set automatically by the system as "L" (Stock Item).
I am very interested in to assign "Non-stock items" (Item category = "N").
Is it posiible??
If the answer is yes, what I have to do? Have I to change some customizing settings?
Thank you very much in advanced,
Kind regards,
Jordi Palau.

hi
In task list you cannot able to assign item category other than L which is stock item.there is no customization to allow the same
but you can indirectly assign the material with item category N.create BOM for the equipment then while adding the material you have to select from the BOM which is having item category N
