Unable to Define New Plant

Hi,
I need help regarding creating New Plant. I used the following steps
IMG> Enterprise Structure> Defiintion> Logistics Genral> Define, Copy, Delete, Check Plant
1.   Execute
2.   (Double Click) Define Plant
3.   New Entries
4.   Give Plant Name
5.   Country Code
I press F4 and search for DE for Germany but its not there. If I select any other like US, CA or GB. The field value remains null. Can someone tell me what I am missing? Please advice.
Thanks
RA

i think u r trying to input value in the county code feild on the screen of define plant
if that is the case then
i must tell u that county code is used in us for taxsation purpose
and this field is not country code rather it is county code
so u may leave the county code field blank

Reg: Unable to define new payment types in AP

Hi Consultants,
We have requirement to define new payment type. i tried to add new lookup code at Oracle Payable Lookups window but it is not allowing us to add new line.
actaully i am technical developer i dont know how to define a new paymnet type we are using the 11.5.9.
any one please advice me on this.
Thanks,

Hello Anu.
The PAYMENT TYPE lookup code is System access level so you cannot create a new one. What is the bussiness requirement? I believe the existing payment methods can cover any bussiness requirement.

HI
You have to assign the Tax Calculation Procedure to the Country India.
Follow the path and assign TAXINN
IMG>Financial Accounting>Financial Accounting Global Settings>Tax on Sales/Purchases>Basic Settings-->Assign Country to Calculation Procedure
Assign the Procedure to IN India.
Prior to this check whether the tax procedure is available or not
in IMG>Financial Accounting>Financial Accounting Global Settings>Tax on Sales/Purchases>Basic Settings-->Check Calculation Procedure

Unable to define new Movement Type

Hello Experts,
I'm new with WM and trying to add a movement type 601 to my Warehouse. I know I can do it as follows.
SPRO>Logistics Execution->Warehouse Management>Activities>Transfers>Define Movement Types
However the issue is when I'm trying to copy from an existing record then getting error as follows.
Entry A01 A does not exist in T333A (check entry)
Can anyone tell me what is wrong or am I missing something in configuration?
Many thanks in advance.

you copy a movement type record which has a shipment type A, however this A is not anymore available in table T333A Shipment types.
it got probably deleted in the wrong sequence.
But in general you either create a A entry in table T333A or you remove this A from the referenced movement type, save, and copy then.
I am not on a SAP system this evening, so I cant tell you the customizing path, not do I exactly know how this table looks like.
Usually this setting is not far away from the customizing where you are. But if you execute SM30 and enter table T333a and click then customizing button, then SAP takes you usually to the IMG activity.

Define Special procurement for new plant

Hi,
I need to define special procurement type for plant 1411.
I have created plant copying from plant 1401. Also I want define special procurement same as plant 1401.
But when I copy from 1401 special procurement. It gives error no company code found for plant 1411.
I have checked the assignment of plant to company code where I see that plant 1411 is assigned to company code 1100.
What can be the issue then.

Hi,
Usuallu when you copy the plant from a existing plant for creation all the default parameters will also be copied.
If already the special procurement key had been defined for plant 1401 then it should be for 1411 also.
If need to change the default paraemeters you can
Goto OMI8 there we can go option Maintain then enter the plant then change the special procurement keyin master data.

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.

Define New Partner Types

Hi,
Where and how do we define new Partner Types (e.g., KU - Customer, WK - Plant etc.) ?
Regards,
Piyush

Hi Piyush,
You can go to the following path.
SPROSDBFPartner determinationSet up partner determination---Set up Partner determination for Customer master (or for any other transaction too)
Here you can see that partner types are also defined along with the partner functions we use. We can copy the partner type and create a new one.
Whenever we create a new Partner Function, the function has to be assigned to one of the partner types so that the partner function can behave as the partner type. For example if a partner function is assigned to partner type KU, then a partner of that PF can behave like a partner type.
Reward if it helps.
