Variant Config- Dependcy based on Material quantity

Hi ,
I have a specific requirement for variant config.
If we have a material A1 and it has variants as b1( values 5/10/15) and c1(red/blue/green).
when i create the sales order for A1 and enter 5 in the quantity field , then the variant B1 should be populated with value 5, if the quantity is 10 then B1 gets populated with 10 and so on.
I know that using the quantity field to drive this is not proper.
But I am trying to do a work around.
Because the business process has material with many variants but while ordering the customer will never order for more than 1 quantity of the material. and if he wants to check the various options he will need to mostly change one particular variant. I am trying to reduce the work involved in going to the variant and then choosing the value.
Any help would be rewarded...
Thanks
BGS

we can use the refernece object field to do this.
though it required a lot of my.
anybody who needs help in this direction can send me a message. I shall help calrify

How to find variant config material changes

Hi!
I have a requirement to compare variant config material under an equipment sales order. Scenario is:-
Suppose company has sold one product and that product is variant configured. Under configuration tab user has selected different characteristics and because of that characteristics some materials has come under that config material in sales order. Suppose customer has returned that material after some time and now I have to create a follow on return order. My requirement is , I have to check that if that configured material has been changed now (depending upon same characteristic values ) or not. May be that configured material is now having one more component material added that is priced now and that configuration product price has been changed because of that new added component .
Is there any way I can compare that configured material in sales order with regards to todays date. (Depending upon characteristic values) .
Regards
Yogesh

The material documents are NEVER deleted. You can reverse them (MBSM provides a list of reversed documents) but not delete them.
You can delete the delivery, then the VBFA is cleared but in MKPF table a trace of this still stay in field MKPF-XBLNR that contains the deleted delivery number.

Variant config - Two Varinat class to single material

Hi
I had defined two variant classes eg: Class1 & class2 and assigned it to material in clasiification view.
While sales order the systems take me to variant config screen which shows charateristics of both the class combined. I need to display separately .
How can do this ? please help
regards
Arun prasad

Some light on Variant Configuration in Detail.
The procedure is as follows:
Create a Material - KMAT type with Item category (002)
Create Charateristics in CT04 - Zbike, where in values mention the Color of the bile like Red, Blue etc
Create another characteristics in CT04 - ZPrice, where directly go the additional data tab and maintain the table SDCOM and field VKOND (ABAP Dictionary it will ask for)
Assign these two characteristics to a Class in CL01 - ZBikeclass ( Type 300) in characteristics tab page.
Then go to CU41 Configuration profile select the material and enter the description click on the class assignment ie assign Zbikclass.
Now go back to CT04 - enter Zbike -go to values- select Red- go to extras - Other Dependencies - Select Procedure enter in front 10 write - $self.ZPrice='Red' and save
Now go back go to extras - Other Dependencies - assignments and assign relationship ( by default it will come just save)
Now select Blue- go to extras - Other Dependencies - Editor - Select Procedure enter in front of 10 write - $self.ZPrice='Blue' and save
Now go back go to extras - Other Dependencies - assignments and assign relationship ( by default it will come just save)
Now go to VK11 - Enter VA00 (Condition)(For Std RVA001 Pricing Procedure) - enter variant Red and Blue give the rates accordingly and create the sales order.

Pricing based on Material Master Classification

Hi Guru's,
Can we have a pricing based on material master classification.
Scenario: Material can have few characteristic. If we select few of the classification, this should influence pricing.
Any idea on this, has anybody worked on this before?
Thanks,
Anil

I am not sure about classification, might work with Variant Config.
Alternatively, you can use split valuation if you don't have many characteristics.
Hope this helps-

Sales Order Variant Config

While returning from the variant config screen, I need to add a line item in a sales order. Does anyone know about any user-exit that could be used?

Hello Ashley
Yes, if you have done your settings correctly, especially Requirements class set up (see the documentation link), then the cost estimate will flow to a condition type in Pricing, usually EK01/EK02 conditions. These conditions are used to calculate sales prices (PR00) in cost-plus (mark-up) scenarios.
Link: http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/90/ba6da4446711d189420000e829fbbd/frameset.htm
However Profit margin as calculated in a sales order comes from VPRS condition (which is based in Material Master) and is the difference of net value and VPRS condition value in normal circumstance.
Hope other more knowledgeable experts will weigh in.

Planning w/o Final Assly for Variant Config matls

Experts,
I have a requirement where in my finished MTO Variant Config products have to be forecasted (at standard configuration, pre-determined BOM for the variant product) so that the dependent assemblies can be produced in advance. The assemblies & some components have huge lead times (22wks), hence the need to produce/procure them in advance. However, the assembly of the finished VC material will only be after the Sales Order is recvd for it.
I know strategies 56 & 89 allow me to plan based on char's, however, I'm looking for a strategy like 50 which will allow me to assemble the FERT right after the Sales Order has been recvd..Am I on the right track here?
Cheers

Andy,

Sales Order cost estimate with variant config

Hi
I'm hoping for some advice on costing on a variant material.
I have created a sales order for a variant material and ran a cost estimate to get costs for the sales order. Should this populate a cost condition within the sales order pricing? How can the margin be seen in the sales order?
Thanks for your help.

BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2 is not carrying out pricing for variant config materials

Hi Guys
I need to create a BAPI to create sales orders coming in through a web service from an external system, for normal materials all works well, but for variant config materials the pricing is not happening, like the way it does when I manually create an order, I don't want to manually pass the pricing condition in BAPICOND as I want the BAPI to dynamically determine the conditions from the access sequence.
While debugging VA01 I found that the control goes to the 'PRICING' function module twice, ones for the main material , and next for all its config materials, the second time it calls the 'PRICING' fm with pricing type 'O'. Here it selects the price for all the variant materials and loads into an internal table vkomv and displays in VA01 the variant materials that we select while creating the order, but in the case of the BAPI call, the control is going only to the 'PRICING' fm call for the header.
I have passed 'V' in the application parameter and the variant material in the varcond parameter of the BAPICOND structure.
Any idea what I might be missing ??
Thanks

Calculation of po qty based on material in Reuse_alv_grid_dispay report

Hi friends,
This is the requirement
I need to calculate the total Quantity(ekpo-menge) on open stores orders(doc type) with today's delivery date + (today's date + 1).
help me out in giving the mandatory fields that need to be taken and the code to calculate the total quantity based on material.say there are 3line items for one purchase order then how to calculate the total qty based on material.
thanks in advance,
meghna

thanks for your replies
I have already seen tcode gral but my requirement is simpler
When we execute any ALV Report, the report is displayed in ALV Grid by defalut and then we can change the view using Grapcial View option in the menu bar
I want to display this graphical view by default instead of that in the report form when the report is executed
I hope my requirement is clear
Ur valuable suggestions will definately be appriciated
Thanks in advance

Accounting for code based consumable material in SAP

Hi Experts,
Just a scenario I want to discuss with You all:
Earlier were using non-stock items (no material code,only text to procure materials) and projects were consuming it. Now, we are going to use material codes to procure non-stock items which now have master code for it now the requirement for this process is as below.
At the time of GRN system pick project G/L(Profit and loss account G/L ) with account assignment S (or Q ) and respective WBS
While transferring the left over project qty to another project ,accounting document is to be created .
Warehouse want to track to moved quantity as well from project to project and to own stock .
considering these requirement i m working on two logic.
Logic 1 .
I configured the material as value based material so that while doing GRN project WBS is debiting
and after consumption of partial material quantity, I am transferring the remaining cost of project to another project by t-code KB61N or KB11N where cost is moving from project to project .
now to show quantity movement i am developing one report which can show the quantity based on moved Price lets say if unit prince is 10 and 200 cost is transferring from project to project means 20 qty is moving in customized report .
Logic 2
With the help of BADI or some development a virtual storage location will be created on MIGO screen
and material will be fetched in this virtual storage location while doing GRN as a referance purpose
and the same location to be used during transferring material from project to project
let me know how far this logic and requirement is correct to code the consumable material and it is going to be codified for reporting purpose .
your earliest response will be appreciable .
Thanks in advance .

Hi Jurgan ,
scenario is like ,
earlier for these material , material record was not existing
but now business want to create material master for such consumable material for tracking purpose
and these codified material is to procured under WBC and profit and loss account G/L not inventory G/L (balance sheet G/l )
and to pick profit loss G/L i made material as valuate material only so that can populate accounting document while transferring value from project to project via KB61N or KB11N
now what value is transferring from project to project that will be picked in terms of quantity (unit value conversion to quantity ) in customized report
hope scenario is clear now ..let me know if any query you have to give your valuable inputs
Thanks

MI31 - Phy Inv. - how to exclude Variant Config Materials

For our Variant Cofiguration Materials (parent materials) we don't have stock to count for the physical inventory (MI31). The company would like to exclude these items from the material selection automatically.
I've looked around in the IMG for material master and in physical inventory but I didn't find anything that looked like a "exclude from Phys Inv." indicator or anything that could be used on one of these materials.
The site could "exclude" the individual material #'s in the selection screen of the MI31 transaction and save a variant or something...but it would have to always be monitored when new materials were created, etc. Company would like to know if there is a configuration setting of some kind that can exclude a Variant Material from the phys inventory run.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jason

what is wrong with ACC TO STOCK settings?
Does it exclude to much? more than you expect?
Unfortunatly you have not done anything in your design to distinguish Variant Config Materials from standard materials.
Same material type mean probably the same number range as well.
I have other ways to select, but it depends on the number of materials that are in this material type.
How many do you have in that material type, how many do you want to exclude.
How often will you count?

Variant config

Hi gurus
cofniditon type va00 is manadatory or manual conditon in prcing procedure. Can any one suggest me. When i am maintaining in conditon records for the condition type va00 is not coming the it showing messege variant not found. So that price is not coming in sales order. Please help me in this regard
Points will be rewarded

Dear rack,
VA00 is a condition record maintained for variant config material. So if your material is not under variant config the error will come. you can delete that line if you dont have a variant material.

Variant Config Strategy

Hello all,
I am currently implementing BW for Sales (SD) for a customer that uses heavily Variant Configuration.
They are using 560 different characteristics to classify their various products. However, for each Material (ZMAT or modified KMAT), the number of characteristics used does not exceed 10.
I know I can create DataSources in CTBW to load Variant Config transactional data.
Anybody has experienced a data modeling strategy that would allow us to manage this efficiently?
Thanks
Jean-Luc

Hi,
we're having the same issue.
We have a configurable material. Mat type KMAT. That we have a sales order and planned order for.
When converting the planned order into a production order we get this message. It does not matter if the individual/collective indicator is set to 1, 2, or left blank.
Any clues? Are we supposed to be able to manufacture KMAT materials?

Variant Config. stock valuation.

Hi all,
We have implemented variant config with controlling. Finished material is valued at Sale order stage (Sales order costing). While uploading the stock, some of the materials are valued at std. price maintained in the material master instead of sales order costing. These materials are not valued at Std. cost estimate (CK40N).
Can anybody suggest how to rectify these values? One option is to recost the material in VA02 but it will not overwrite the stock value.
I am also looking for a functionality whereby I can recost these materials in one screen instead of going into VA02 for individual Sales order.
Bhaven Selarka

Hi Bhaven,
Your problem is that you have "some of the materials are valued at std. price maintained in the material master instead of sales order costing".
I think it is important to understand the following concepts and test with your logistics folks:
If you are using material type KMAT for VC, then there should not be any standard price as KMAT does not allow Accounting views, only costing views.
The lower level BOM of FINISHED KMAT may or may not be KMAT. BOM may have dependent requirements or independent requirements. Please check with your planning folks. Dependent requirements are generally MTO stock valued from sales order cost. Independent requirements are generally MTS stock valued from material master cost estimate.
If BOM is structured in the above way, then when we load inventory, it will take the value depending on the settings in material master, whether it is MTS or MTO material and whether the requirements are dependent or independent.
Valuated sales order stock must be linked to a sales order. Just because the material is marked as MTO in planning strategy, it will not have sales order COST.
I think we have to load open sales order and do the GR receipt as part of cutover, so it takes the sales order cost for MTO Inventory. (Test with your logistics folks)
OR
If you are doing 561 for MTO material, then it should ask for sales order.(Test with your logistics folks)
One of the two above should work.
You can reach me [email protected]
Thanks
