Uneven Material Number Assignment

Hi,
We are using Internal number assignment for our materials. When creating the new materials some time it is going backward and taking unused material number in the defined number range instead of taking the current number that is in MMNR transaction.
Please someone explain the reason.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi,
Mapping is one to one between material and customer.
>Is it possible to assign two different customer material numbers for one sap material.
Yes possible, provided that's for 2 different customers.
You can have 2 customer material numbers for same customer / same material.
Same material can have more than 1 customer material numbers, for different customer.
Best regards,

External Material Number range

Dear all,
Is it possible if I define external number range only with numbers not alphabet. I have defined external number range as 000000001 to zzzzzzzzzzzz but its not accepting external number as 10000203030 when creating material master.
Pls guide

Check 2 Function Modules:
EXIT_SAPLMG02_001 - Customer Exit: Internal Material Number Assignment
EXIT_SAPLMG02_002 - Customer Exit: External Material Number Assignment
Also one material type can only be assigned to one internal and one external number range
both number ranges must not overlay each other,
Number range can be defined like this from 1 to zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz so anything can be done within this one range

Dear Tej,
I checked the transaction code as told. OMSL is not helpfull. I need to restrict the user to give the material number atleast 18 character....
In OMS2 following description is available in MM:
External Number Assignment Without Validation
Use
In the case of external number assignment, this indicator tells the system not to check the material number entered on the screen against the number range. In this case, the material number assigned must contain at least one letter, and not consist only of figures.
If I check the system will not check the external number assigned with the number range in the system MMNR transaction code

Production Order without Material Number and linked to a PM Order...

Hi All,
Is it possible to create a Production Order without Material Number (because it is a "just one time" production), and link it to a PM Order (enterred by a sister Plant) in order to finally report the cost to that PM Order?
And if YES, how to do it???
Explanation of the problem (business scenario):
We have 2 Plants. Let say Plant "A" and Plant "B".
Plant B is producing spare parts for Plant A.
There are usual spare parts, which have a Material Number.
But there are also spare parts which will be produced only once, and which don't have a Material Number. (= because it is a very punctual production).
Plant A needs a punctual spare part.
It creates a PM Order for Plant B.
Plant B needs to create a Production Order for that spare part (without Material Number).
Then, when confirmed and delivered, the cost of that production needs to be reported (assigned) to the PM Order.
Thanks in advance for your help on the subject.
Regards,
Rudy.

Thank you for the information.
After some modifications on the Prod.Order Type and the creation of a Reference Operation Set, it seems to work.
Still have a cost problem, but on the way to be solved.
Thanks a lot,
Rudy.

Material number getting changed in Sales order

Hi friends,
while creating sales order, When I enter some material number,
at line item it is getting changed into some other number.
Do you have any idea why this is happening?.
Eg: I entered material number as 3660 and it is getting changed to 50231960 .
Thanks.
Regards,
Bharat.

there are several reasons that will make this change.
one possibility could be Customer Material Info Record.
Go to VD53 and enter your customer number that you used to create a sales order and also the sales org and disribution channel of that customer and the material number 3660. then check whether it has assigned to the material 50231960
Other possibility could be automatic material determination is active which automatically replaces the material if not available.

Batch internl number assignment

Hello SAP gurus,
    Lets suppose i have finished product, semifinished product and raw material with me.I am managing all of them in batches.I want to use automatic creation of batch (internal number assignment) for them.Now my question is i want to use different number ranges for all of them.
        Currrently its using the same number range for all of them.Suppose if i created one production order for semifinished product than its giving it batch no. 0000001.Again if i create production order for finished material than its giving it batch no. 0000002.
    I want different number ranges for both of them by internal number ranges only.
    plz guide me in solving this problem.

Hi
you want to maintain the different number ranges based on Material Types (Finished/Semi-finished/Raw material).
Please follow SPRO IMG Path
Logistics General >> Batch Management >> Batch Number assignment >> Configure Customer Exit for Intern. Batch Number assignment.
Going through node documentation, you need to use one of the fucntional module exist incorporated in SAP enhencement SAPLV01Z.
Pl go through documentation in detail and incorporate required ABAP code in the respective functional module Exit.
Thanks

Hi
The error is probably caused because T161-NUMKI = <BLANK>. Please fill in the valid T161-NUMKI.
This needs to be done in customising

Material Management -> Purchasing -> Purchase Order -> Define Document types
Number range in the case of internal number assignment
Hope this information is of help.

Material Number mandatory for PR exceptP for Service Purchase Requisition

Hi All,
Our client's new requirement is we need to give material number mandatory for Purchase Requisition. But it should not affect for Service Purchase Requisition (as we don't have material number with material type DIEN. Till now, we were using Acc Assignment Category K and Item Category D with only Short Text description). We have separate document type for Service Purchase Requisition(ZSRV).
In order to make Material number mandatory, in PR, we need to give in "Define Screen Layout at Document Level for PR",right? Is there any way to give, "Material Number Mandatory at Document Type Level"?
Please suggest.
Regards,
rosh

hi sridhar,
Thank you for your answer. So as you said, there is no possibility to make material number as mandatory at DOCUMENT TYPE level through Customzining, right?

Changing material number when Process Order is released

Hello,
We have a scenario in which the material number of a process order may need to be changed after the process order is released. We will have both in process and post production inspection types assigned to this order, and both inspection lots are created at process order release. We also will have a batch number created at process order release.
When recording test results in the inspection lot before a process order has been confirmed, the users may identify that the material number should be different. We would like a way to be able to either change the material number in the process order (and inspection lots). We know this involves a lot of updates (master data changes to the existing process order and inspection lots). Currently, there is no way to transfer information to a new material number without receiving product in and performing a usage decision in the post production inspection lot to transfer to a new material number.
The client has implemented all modules, except PP (which we are in the process of now). We know that Variant Configuration would have been the right solution for this, but this is not an option since MM is already implemented.
If you have any suggestions, please reply.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Prasobh,
The exact scenario is as follows:
1. A semi finished good will be used as a component to produce the finished good.
2. This semi finished good will have treatments added to it, and quality inspection will be performed as treatments are added.
3. Inspections will occur several times as treatments are added. If during one of these inspections, material is out of spec, and the blend should be transferred to another material number, we need to be able to change to another material number. To have a customization where material number is changed in all of the relevant PP and QM tables seems risky.
This is why we can't really use material classification. We also do not have the option to use VC bc the MM module is already implemented.
Thanks.

To create a Material using BAPI with out passing the material number

Hello Experts,
I am using BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA to create a material of some Ztype. I am successfully creating a material if I am passing Material Number as input. I want the material number to generated internally.
When I am doing material creation with same input data with out material number using BDC, it is working fine. It is generating the material number.
But, not with the BAPI.
Do, I need to specify this some where in the BAPI to generate the Material number internally? Please let me know.
Please help me in this regard.
Thanks & Regards,
Naresh.

Hi,
Read the BAPI documentation regarding Internal Number range for materials.
When you create material master data, the following fields must always
contain a value in the structure:
o   MATERIAL
    Only external number assignment is supported for the material number
    (MATERIAL). If you want the material number to be assigned
    internally, the method BAPI_MATERIAL_GETINTNUMBER must first be
    called. This method determines an internal number for the material
    to be created. You must enter this internal number in field
    HEADDATA-MATERIAL.

Vinod
