Use of same configurable material in trading environment

Hi Variant Config Gurus,
I have following situation & need to recommend Customer.
- Customer is using Configurable materials in Manufacturing plant already. They cannot use material Variant as there will be too many permutation. Sales order entry will pop-up characterisitc assignment screen which will geenrate & save ORder BOM. Sales order stock of FGs will ensure all costs are posted correctly.
- Now need to set up Trading entity in another country which will enter Sales order for same products but they will purchase these products from Manufacturing plant. PR/PO for these product will be generated upon sales order entry with vendor as manufacuring plant. It is buy-sell relationship without any inter-plant /intercompany process.
My question is , should we extend same configurable product to the trading plant & ask them to enter characterisitc value or create seperate FG material master/Material Variants in trading plant. My concerns is , there will be no BOM in trading plant & hence characterisitc list that pops-up willl be partial . We have many subassembly having 300 class type & those characetrsitc also pops up while entering sales order in manufacturing plant.
Thank you for help,
Jatin

I think these questions were answered in the other thread.

Want to see the stock of different variants with same configurable material

I have the stock for configurable material with different variants. Now I can see the cumulative stock
for that configurable material. But my requirement is that I want to see the stock for every variant
belonging to the configurable material.
How can I get it?

hello anant,
In my opinion for sure standard sap report cannot display the stock for a individual configuration.(Variant)
Reason:characteristics display/hide function is very dynamic dependeding on the dependency and interdependency.
The only option is by a report CL30N plus abap. Since we cannot keep anything in stock for a configurable material. You need to identify all open sales order and stock position OR through material movements and then find the produciton order and then read all char. values.
I assume you are not taking about variant materials.

Incompletion Log for Configurable Material

Hi,
The client wants to restrict the creation of sales order whenever a configurable material does not result in a material variant.
Is it posible to meet this requirement by standard SAP config in Incopletion Procedure or Status Profile?
Please advice.
Thanks
Sinduja

Make the item category that you are using for the Configurable Material as 'Not relevant for Pricing'
Then in your Sales order Header Incompletion procedure, add VBAK-NETWR field.
Now the order has to have a net value which is possible only if you have a material variant that would be relevant for pricing.

Migrating to Sharepoint 2013 from 2010 - Can you use the same URL for the Web Application without affecting the 2010 environment?

Hi,
I am currently trying to migrate our SharePoint 2010 environment to SharePoint 2013. The first thing I'm doing is creating a 2013 development environment to verify that this migration goes smoothly. I'm also doing this so that we will have a testing environment
after the upgrade to 2013 is complete.
So here is my question: I have a 3 tier farm including; 1 app server, 1 wfe, and 1 sql server. I have made a copy of our SharePoint 2010 database and installed that on our sql server 2012 sever (This new environment is on 3 completely separate servers from
our 2010 environment). I have also installed the prereqs and configured SharePoint 2013 on the App server and wfe servers, as well as configuring the necessary service applications (I have created a completely new 2013 database where I will migrate my 2010
database content when I'm ready).
I am now at the point where I need to create a new web application on the 2013 app server, where I will be migrating the copied 2010 database. (Also note that we have a 2010 development site called https://[email protected])
When I go to create a new web application in our 2013 dev environment, can I use the same url (https://[email protected]) to create this web app, or will this screw up our current 2010 dev environment?
I'm new to SharePoint migrations, so I apologize if this is a stupid question.
Thanks in advance for any insight you can share on this!

So, what you are recommending is that before I create a web application in my new 2013 environment, I need go into my hosts file on my 2013 app server and alter it to point to my 2013 wfe.
Then after I do that, then I can create my new web application on my 2013 app server with the same url as my 2010 testing environment
(https://[email protected]).
Then after that I should be able to access my new sharepoint 2013 environment at the same URL (https://[email protected])?
I must be missing something.
In your first reply, you told me to alter the host file on my 2010 app server and point it to my 2010
wfe (I guess I thought it probably already is). You also told me to alter the host file on my 2013 app server and point it to my 2013 wfe.
so I am confused on after I do this, what url would I access my 2010 test environment, and what url would
I access my 2013 test environment?
I am fine with having my test environment as a different URL until I am totally ready to roll everything over and kill the 2010 site. But I want to make sure that when I migrate my database, none of the site links are broken.
I also want to make sure that if I proceed this way, I want to be sure that I will be able to modify the URL to what my 2010 environment is (without a lot of headaches) when I am ready to kill the 2010 site.
Thanks again for your help, it's much appreciated!

Quality info records: different pack configurations for same raw material

how can i differentiate different pack configuration for same raw material in quality info records, as one might approved and the other not? that is, besides creating different material master for each packaging?
thanks
Alisa

You need to use the MPN profile functionality that is a standard part of SAP.
In Config under the purchasing define the MPN profile. There are several options you can turn on/off including info records.
You assign the MPN profile to your material. It now is considered by SAP to be an internal material number.
You then create a HERS material type for each separate manufacturer material number you have. You only need the purchasing view for these materials. You can also create purchasing text views, classification and some others if you wish.
In the SAP approved vendors list (AVL), you then assign each manufacturer vendor(s) with the HERS material created.
You create a Q-info record for each manufacturer/HERS material combination.
Now, when you specify the internal material number in a PO, the system will tell you to order the MPN material. When you do the drop down for the material now, it will show you the approved manufacturers allowed in the AVL for the ordering plant.
When the 01 inspection lot is created you will have a vendor number as well as a manufacturer's number in the inspection lot. The DMR can be done by the manufacturer or the vendor depending on how you set up the inspection plan. Q-info record will be used accordingly.
Take a look at it and research it. It's not hard to set up.

Can I use the same material for C_BOWI_40

Hi All
A couple of years ago, I have attended SAP BOW310 and I have the course material for BOW310 as well, my questions is that do I need to obtain latest academy material again or I can use the same one. I can see the following details on my existing material...
BOW310
Web Intelligence Report Design I
SAP Business Objects - Business Intelligence
Participants Handbook
course Version 96
course duration 2 Days
Material Number 50103381
Owner: Ann Whitehead (I050533)
Now I want to give certification of C_BOWI_40 and I'm wondering that Can I use the same material or not....

Yes. If you use the iPad charger no problems.
If you use the iPhone charger, on iPad it will charge much slower, but it will still charge.

Trying to use the same ground for more than two channels (RSE configuration) with usb 6000

Hello,
I'm currently trying to set up a LabView code in order to get readings of voltage using 5 different locations simultaneously. I want to only use the first location as ground and obtain 4 voltage measurements between the ground and each one of the other 4 channels. I'm using a usb 6000 which for now allows me to use the same ground for only two channels. Is there a way to use the same ground for 4 channels?
Thank you,
Maria

You're right it is confusing the way I describe it so I ahve attached some pictures of the set up. The first figure is the cell filled with soil and the 5 probes inserted in it. The anode is placed at the left end of the cell and the cathode at the right end but they do not appear in the figure. I'm trying to use location 1 as gournd and take measurements of voltage from the following pairs: 1-2, 1-3, 1-4, and 1-5. The second figure is the DAQ I'm using. When I was trying to set up the RSE configuration, it was ussing ground A for the channels 6 & 7 (locations 2 and 3 in figure 1) but ground B for channels 4 & 5 (locations 4 and 5 in figure 1). What I am asking is which is the best way to use the signal from location 1 as the ground for all 4 channels. Is this more clear?
Thank you for your time!

Adding configurable material in MRP3 using MATMAS .

Hi All,
I am working on creation of material using idoc ., message type is MATMAS and basic type is /AFS/MATMAS05. In the view MRP3 we have a field called 'CONFIGURABLE MATERIAL ; and I am trying to pass the configurable material into this space using segment E1MARCM where we have a field configurable material. But I am not able to see this detail when checking the material master, whereas other details required for the material are being added up.
Can someone guide me in the matter.
Thanks,

Configuring AAA network client on ACS v5.1 using the same RADIUS atributes from ACS v3.3

Hello,
I was wondering if i should use the same RADIUS VSA attribute on ACS v5.1 to authenticate AAA clients as those i was using on my old ACS v3.3 server.
Exemple : under ACS v3.3 i was using RADIUS (Cisco Aironet) attribute to authenticate AP & WLC, should i do the same under ACS v5.1 ?
Best regards.

Hello,
When defining AAA client on the new ACS 5.x server you just select TACACS+ or RADIUS. We no longer define the RADIUS "vendor"/"VSA" when creating the AAA Client entry. All AAA client would be defined as RADIUS or TACACS+ only.
If you were using specific VSA Attributes then you need to send those attributes back configuring Authorization Profiles on the ACS 5.x. You will find the specific VSA attributes there. Refer to the following screenshots:
And here are the available attributes for the ACS for RADIUS Aironet:

I am a teacher with 7 iPads for my room with no VPP or Apple Configurator. May I use the same Apple ID for each of the devices with a separate password for each device?

Who can help me with the above question? Multiple iPads in one classroom: may I use the same Apple ID (which is my work email) for each iPad, and construct a separate password for each device? My school does not have VPP or Apple Configurator

Password to what, exactly? If you're referring to the screen lock, each iPad can have a separate passcode, since that's not tied to an Apple ID. If that's not what you mean, please post back and clarify what password you're referring to and what you wish to accomplish.

Issue in consumption of forecast for configurable material

Hi,
we have a issue in consumption of forecast by sales order for a configurable material.
Please find the below details for the settings maintained and the steps followed.
Please let me know how we can overcome this issue.
settings in R/3
1. Class and characterisitcs are created in R/3
2. standard material was created and class assigned
3. planning strategy used is 56
4. material, class, characteristics,ATP check, ATP customizing , sales order were integrated to APO
Settings in APO
1. CBF table, CBF profile, Consumption group were created in APO
2. Consumption group is attached to the product master
following steps were followed.
1. Forecast was created in DP for a certain characterstics ansd relaesed to SNP/PPDS
2. forcast is visible in product view
3. sales order was created in R/3
4. slaes order is visible in APO but it is not consuming the foreacast for the same set of characteristics.
Please let me know how we can overcome this..are we missing any customization ...?
Thanks
Ram

Hi Srinivas,
thanks for your response.
The forecast consumption problem was solved after correcting the entries in requirement strategy.
have one more query.
when the sales order for a configurable material is transferred from R/3 to APO, we should be able to see the values under "descriptive characteristics tab" in APO product view.(when we click on the green triangle representing the configuration).
However, we could see the values under "descriptive characteristics tab" for some of the characterisitcs and not for other characteristics.
we tried comparing the characteristics but could not figure out the reason.
any pointers / clues to come over this issue would be helpful.
thanks
Ram

Is it possible to use the same OSSO/OID for multiple R11 and R12 instances?

Hello guru's,
We have multiple R11and R12 instances that should be configured for Oracle SSO 10.1.4.3. For OID, we are still trying to decide between OID 10.1.4.3, or OID 11g. OAM is not an option because we also also need OSSO integration with Siteminder. We will also need to SSO-enable Discoverer an Forms.
I have successfully configured SSO for a single-instance EBS R12, but not for multiple instances, let alone include R11 and other components into the mix.
Do you have any special tips, guidance or lessons learned when SSO-enabling multiple instances into the same SSO/OID?
Thanks!
Maria

Interestingly, the article talks about using the same SSO/OID for EBS, JD Edwards, Peoplesoft multiple R11 instances, but did not mention 'multiple EBS versions'. Am I just being picky or there was a reason for it not being mentioned?In Steven Chan blog (in the same link), see the following:
Comprehensive Single Sign-On Solution+
If you have one or more E-Business Suite Release 11i instances and are tired of maintaining users separately for each environment, you can create a central OracleAS 10g environment and manage all 11i users in one place.
If you have a combination of PeopleSoft, JD Edwards, and the E-Business Suite in your organization, you can use OracleAS 10g to manage users for all three environments centrally.
If you have a combination of the E-Business Suite and custom applications based on Oracle databases or OracleAS 10g technology, you can use OracleAS 10g to manage users for all applications in a single place.
Thanks,
Hussein

How to use a multiple boards (6321/6323) analogical acquisition task with simultaneous analogical generation task using the same boards (Labwindows CVI10)

Subject : it seems impossible to run a multiple boards analogical acquisition task with one or several analogical generation task using the same boards.
NI Configuration : Dev1 = Dev2 = 6321 boards
Development environnement : LabWindows CVI 10
Source code for analogical acquisitino task :
       DAQmxCreateTask("",&AIRecordingtaskHandle);
       DAQmxCreateAIVoltageChan(AIRecordingtaskHandle,chan,"",DAQmx_Val_NRSE,min,max,DAQmx_Val_Volts,NULL);
       DAQmxCfgSampClkTiming (AIRecordingtaskHandle, "", rate, DAQmx_Val_Rising, DAQmx_Val_FiniteSamps, sampsPerChan);
       DAQmxGetTaskAttribute(AIRecordingtaskHandle,DAQmx_Task_NumChans,&gNumChannels);
Chan = "Dev1/ai0, Dev1/ai1, Dev1/ai2, Dev2/ai1"
Source code for analogical generation taskS :
       DAQmxErrChk (DAQmxCreateTask("",&AOtaskHandle_C1_DAC0));
       DAQmxErrChk (DAQmxCreateAOVoltageChan (AOtaskHandle_C1_DAC0, chan, "", min, max,DAQmx_Val_Volts, "")); // chan vaut Dev1/ao0
       DAQmxErrChk (DAQmxCreateTask("",&AOtaskHandle_C1_DAC1));
       DAQmxErrChk (DAQmxCreateAOVoltageChan (AOtaskHandle_C1_DAC1, chan, "", min, max,DAQmx_Val_Volts, "")); // chan vaut Dev1/ao1
       DAQmxErrChk (DAQmxCreateTask("",&AOtaskHandle_C2_DAC0));
       DAQmxErrChk (DAQmxCreateAOVoltageChan (AOtaskHandle_C2_DAC0, chan, "", min, max,DAQmx_Val_Volts, "")); // chan vaut Dev2/ao0
At the first DAQmxReadBinary call attempt, the system shows an error (see attached document)
What we understand about that error : it is impossible to run the two set of tasks (ai and ao) using ressources from both Dev1 and Dev2 in the set of tasks because it is not allowed to use the same Reference Clock for that.
The question is : is there a way to to that without having that kind of message?
We tried different combinations :
- Using only one ao task (on Dev1/Dac0) : same error
- Not using any ao task (only the ai task) : no error
- configuring the ai task with only channel from Dev1 : no error
- Using "/Dev1/ai/SampleClock" as internal clock for the ai task and "/Devk/ao/SampleClock" for each ao task (k standing for "1" or "2" depending of the ao task we consider) : error
Thanks a lot.

Please see the all Details of Business so that U can give answer properly.
One is raw fabric (Raw material) which has to passed different process to convert Colored fabric as my Finish product as well I can sale Raw fabric also.
is it possible to maintain raw fabric and Colored fabric with same mat.code?
I have configured the material as well all pricing BOM, Recipe its working properly.
How can I assign the material to Operation? I am getting GRAY field in New Assignment in change recipe mode ..
Is it possible to use Material type other than KMAT? I want to use Finish material type. If yes How?
Right now I can create Process order from the Sales order but I am facing error in confirmation that Sales Order stock does not exist than I have to transfered stock to Sales order and error get solved temporarily but I want to avoid this manual transaction to remove this error. Any configuration is required please inform.
My configuration is given below.

Strategy : 25 make to order for configure material.
How can I do ? please suggest any changes
I have only 9 months of SAP experience within short time I have gain lot knowledge from this site and other reading material as well my learning Learning thirst.
thanks to all SAP gurus..
THANKS IN ADVANCE .... Definitely I will reward points even if my some questions get solved...
Regards,
Bhavik dangi.

Hi,
You can use variant configuration for selling the colored fabric. Use the basic fabric as raw. and maintain variant configuarations to have many variants.
Please use strategy 25. When you run MRP the planned orders will be generated and will be assigned to the sales orders. You can see it on the account assignment tab.
In material master pleasse maintain Individual collective requirement indicator to 1-individual in the MRP-4 view.
Then the stocks will be reserved to the specific sales orders.
Thanks and regards

Configurable material in scheduling agreement

When I use DS scheduling agreement with LPN as item category with configurable material, I cannot input value for configuration. But if I use normal TAN instead of LPN, I can input value for configuration.
Why?
Does SAP do not allow configurable material in scheduling agreement or quantity contract?
Thanks in advance for any suggestion.

Deat Amy,
Please check the item category settings related to configuration through VOV7 transaction.
Go to VOV7 transaction then select item category LPN then go in to the detain here you check the configuration related settings under Bill Of Material /Configuration tab.
If want you refer the standard Config.at Mat.Levl itemcategory TAC settings, same way you can do settings for your item category then try.
Note:- Not advaisable to change the standard one, so you copy the standard itemcategories do the changes,
I hope this will help you,
Regards,
Murali.
