VB11 Material Determination - How to substitute only when ATP fails?

I created a material determination rule with VB11 (A is replaced by B).
However, my intention was to has A replaced by B only when ATP fails in SO....
Now I have A replaced every time....
I tried to create two lines: A=>A, A=>B as alternative, but A is always replaced by A now...
Did I miss anything?
Thank you!

Its possible to do this. Please do as below.
Ex: xyz is the main item and abc is the substitution item which needs to be activated only when xyz qty is less)
1. Under VB11 maintain the following records:
For Reason : Z003 (ATP Check)
Material Entered is XYZ and Substitution Materials are XYZ and ABC.
Basically Material XYZ substitutes XYZ and if the qty is less it substitutes ABC.
2. Substitute Reason Settings are as under (SPRO):
Reasn Z003
Description Availability check
Entry
Warn
AvCh dep. X
Strategy
Outcome B
Category
This will work wonderfully...
Hope this helps...

VB11 Material Determination - Message Notification

Hi
Currently the substitution material determination is in place (VB11 Material Determination).
However any possiblity to notify the user as the material is changed duing the material determination takes place.
Where the setting should be done ?
Regards
RG

Hi Raj,
In standard its not possible
if you want like that create your own reason like 0007 put only check mark in warning box
put blank for all coloums strategy,out come,substitute category
save it and assign this reason to condtion type A001 in VB11 or VB12 what ever you created.
here once the user create sales order and enter a material he doesn't have chance to select the substitute product and it will give warning message like " Material xxxxx found on the basis of entry xxxx(reason)"
once press the enter it will automatically replace the original material with substituted material.
check and revert.

How to suspend only when Laptop is with Battery on systemd

Hi again , I was capable to make sleep hooks for systemd to lock screen when suspend/hibernate and for wicd to reconect wifi in same way, but i cant figure out is how to make systemd only suspend when is on battery. Because if I edit /etc/systemd/logind.conf to handle the Lid events always suspend wheterever is on battery or AC, before I was using acpi to handle this, to make clear here is my handler.sh
#!/bin/sh
# Default acpi script that takes an entry for all actions
#minspeed=`cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_min_freq`
#maxspeed=`cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_max_freq`
#setspeed="/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_setspeed"
set $*
case "$1" in
button/power)
#echo "PowerButton pressed!">/dev/tty5
case "$2" in

#echo "LID closed!">/dev/tty5
STATE=$(cat /proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_centisecs)
if [[ $STATE == 60000 ]]
then
#/usr/sbin/pm-suspend
systemctl suspend
fi
open)
#echo "LID opened!">/dev/tty5
esac
logger "ACPI group/action undefined: $1 / $2"
esac
In my laptop dirty_writeback_centisecs= 60000 when is on battery if AC is 500. I read this post where one user make a udev rule to know if system is on AC or battery but I cant how to figure out to use in some way like i was using with acpi.
I was thinking in some sleep hook like this (i will use pseudo code):
#!/bin/sh
if [ $1 == 'pre' ] ; then
STATE=$(cat /proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_centisecs)
if [[ $STATE == 60000 ]]
then
systemctl suspend
elif
break suspend (this is i dont know how to implement)
fi
fi
I hope I was clear enough, feel fre to ask any questions. And sorry for my bad english

Yes it works but if systemd can handle this eventes It would be good to get rid off of acpid because following this post I was capable of getting rid pm-utils .
Guess I'll have to keep using acpi until systemd can handle these events. Thanks.

How to roll back when procedure fails

Hi All,
In my process using procedures i am droping the temp tables and creating temp tables ,if any procedures fails how should roll back all the process
Procedure1(droping tables)----->procedure2(creating table1)--------->procedure3(creating table2)------->procedure4(Validaating accounts in table2 and creating seperate table)
Any suggestion please
Thanks in Advance

Let's say in your package you have your 4 procedures (Proc1, Proc2, Proc3, Proc4).
Also create 3 additional procedures:
RollBack1 -> Does the opposite to Proc1 (i.e. if Proc1 drops a table, then Rollback1 will create it)
RollBack2 -> Does the opposite to Proc2
RollBack3 -> Does the opposite to Proc3
Your logic will be:
If Proc1 is successful, then execute Proc2.
If Proc1 is unsuccessful, then end.
If Proc2 is successful, then execute Proc3.
If Proc2 is unsuccessful, then use an on failure path (red line) to execute RollBack1.
If Proc3 is successful, then execute Proc4.
If Proc3 is unsuccessful, then use an on failure path (red line) to execute RollBack2, followed by RollBack1.
If Proc4 is successful, then end.
If Proc4 is unsuccessful, then use an on failure path (red line) to execute RollBack3, followed by RollBack2, followed by RollBack1.
It mightn't be necessary to undo everything - but you'll know your own business needs to make a decision on that.

How does BPM continue when a fail over ocurrs?

Hello,
If a BPM is running inside a cluster of XI, and the node running the BPM fails, Would the other nodes continue processing or the BPM will finish with a error?
Best regards,
Luis Carlos

Hi Luis,
There is no automatic failover mechanism is there , if BPM fails. Rather if you consider your Scenario, then BPM will be a part of your end -to-end scenario. So it should execute sequentially.
It is just my view...

BOM+Free Goods+Material Determination

Hi,
My company want to give free goods in Bill of materials.But system is not accepting that.How can we do that?
I am getting the same problem with Material Determination and Free Goods combination.When i configure material determination for a material which is having free goods system is not showing...any idea?
Points for sure.

Hi,
The constraints for free goods in SAP are as follow
Constraints
Free goods is currently only supported on a 1:1 basis. This means that an order item can only be
the source of one free goods item. This means that agreements involving relationships such as
'Buy material 1 and get material 2 and material 3 free of charge' or 'Order material 1 and material
2 together and get material 3 free of charge' are not supported.
Free goods is not currently supported in combination with material structures (e.g. product
selection, bills of material, variants with BOM explosion).
Free goods is currently only supported for sales orders with document category C (not for
quotations, for example).
Free goods is not currently supported for deliveries without reference to a sales order.
Free goods is not currently supported for make-to-order production, third-party order processing
and scheduling agreements.
Hope it helps you.

Sarosh

Material Determination - quantity check in sales order

Hi everyone.
Hope all is good.
I have a doubt in Material Determination.
If I need to substitute a product in Material Determination, how can I come to know whether the quantity of the replacement material that is replacing the substitute material is available or not.
I know while creating a delivery the system will show quantity not available.
However, how we can see the result while placing a order?
Because there can be a scenario the material which is replacing the different material, we might dont have their quantity also available. So, it will be a waste to create a order and then wait for the results in delivery.
Another situation.
In MD process, what my client is looking for is
Substitute Reason- Availability
If material X does not have quantity it should be replaced with Material Y.
However if Material X has quantity, then MD should not take place. No replacement should happen.
The reason is there is a huge in and out of stock every now and then.
Do both the scenarios can be worked out in standard SAP?
Please suggest.

Hi Joan,
Thank you for the reply. I understood the subsitute reason.
But my question is We have substituted Y for X.
Now what I am asking is what if Y is also not available. Can in the order itself we can come to know whether quantity of Y is available or not instead of delivery.
Second if the subsitute reason is "quantity not available"- not in front of the system so not sure about the code. Same Y for X and now if quanity for X is available the material should not be susbtituted.
Please correct if I am wrong.
Regards

Material determination with Product selection

Hi SAP Gurus
We are using material determination with product selection. The process is that customer will send in one product in a sales order. At the time of doing ATP we have to look for about three or four possible alternatives and confirm that alternative which has the highest stock level depending on the ATP situation. We have configured material determination with SAP standard substitution reason0006 to take care of this. The problem with this is that this creates two line items in sales order as the item substituted is shown as a sub-item of the material entered. We do not want to have two line items in a sales order for this. Is there a way we can do material determination with product selection (Based on ATP) and have the item substituted replace the item entered in a sales order? In other words we do not want to see two line items in a sales order. The substitute item should simply replace the original item and the material entered could be stored in field VBAP-MATWA. I have gone through all the standard SAP documentation which clearly states that in order to material determination based on ATP we have to use outcome A or B both of which create a sub-item.
I was wondering if there is any workaround or if there is any user exit in which we can replace the original item with the substituted item?? Any help or any direction will be highly appreciated.
Another question is if we were to use APO for doing global/Rule based ATP is it possible to get rid of the double line items. We have also tried to use rule based ATP in APO and use product/location substitution in our sandbox system to see if we can get back only one line item. But even in that case we do get a sub item. Any help on this issue will be greatly appreciated. You can also send me an e-mail at [email protected]
Thanks

Material Determination in BoM sub item

Hi All,
In our current SAP system;
1. In quote if there is BOM material, it won't explode and it shows as one line item i.e BOM header.
2. Now in the BoM for one sub item there is a material determination set up.
Issue:
When i create a order with ref to quote now BoM gets exploded and material determination is NOT taking place, I was told it Is possible to activate determination in reference mode. Any idea how i can activate this?
Note: When I create an order with no reference BOM gets and exploded and materail determination also takes place with no issues.

Hi Shah,
MATERIAL DETERMINATION:
A method to determine the material to be used in the sales order. Material determination uses the condition technique to swap one material for another when certain conditions apply. It is triggered by the material entered in the line item of the sales order.
Maintain prerequisites for materialMaterial DeterminationSD- IMG determination Maintain field catalog, create condition table, Maintain access sequences, define condition types, and maintain material determination procedure. Lastly create your condition records with valid dates and substitution reasons.
- Creating a condition record: Logistics, SD, Master data, Products, Material determination, Create [VB11].
Material Determination: - Substituting one product with other product is called material determination.
Maintaining the records for Material Determination: -

Enter the determination type [A001] (Material Entered).
Material Entered: - Here enter the original material which has to be substituted.
Material: - Enter the material with which we want to substitute the main material.
Reason for Substitution: - specifies the reason why the system automatically carried out material substitution.
To enter multiple materials as substitution select the icon alternative materials.
This concept is based on condition technique.

Warning: - If we check this field the system displays a warning message before substituting the material.
Strategy: - Controls whether the product selection should occur automatically in the background or whether the alternative materials should be offered for a selection in dialog box.
Out come: - Controls whether the out come of product selection should replace the original entry or whether it should be recorded as a sub item of the original entry.

How to Differentiate between Parent & child item of material determination

Hi Experts
I have a list of material & the Business requirement is to found that whether a material is a Parent material , Child material or Both ( a parent to other children and a child to another parent).
I tried using table KONDD & KONDDP but I was not able to differeniate between Parent & Child item.
I even cant use item category to diferentaite the two as by item categairy i can only find that it is a Prent material but cant find whether this material is a Child material or not.
Is there any table in which i can enter the Parent material & the output would be child material or any other table which contain both parent & child material.
Note : In Material determination ( VB11) , the material which is entered is Parent material & the material with which it would be replaced is Child material.
Kindly Guide.
Thanks in Advance

Hi
The wording of Parent and Child sounds like using a BOM material. In material determination...these two items can be called as Material entered and material determined or Main Item and Sub Item.
In the sales order overview screen...at line item level check the field 'HLvItem' (Higher Level Item). It will show the POSNR of the main item to which this item is linked. Since this can also happen in the case of free goods and BOM...you have make another check for these items with the item category.
If the substitue material is not determined as a sub item... you can check the material number in the field 'Material Entered' in the sales tab of the item and compare the material number with that exists in the VBAP-MATNR. If both are different, then this material can be considered as a determined material.
Thanks,
Ravi

VB11 - CREATE MATERIAL DETERMINATION. need a BAPI for this

i have to develop an inbound interface program to create VB11 - CREATE MATERIAL DETERMINATION.
Can any one suggest me if there is any BAPI for doing this insted of going to BDC program .
Regards
Raadha

I don't think there will be any BAPI to do the update as material determination is itself dynamic depending upon which determination type you chose from - the key field combination changes accordingly. Just like updating pricing doesn't have any general purpose BAPI.
I think BDC is the only way out here
