F4 Help for Characteristics

$
0
0

Hi Experts,

 

I have created a characteristic 'Department' and when I assign the table 'T527O' in the Value tab it gives an error " Check table T527O has too many key fields".

 

In the error it says that "Check tables with more than one key field are not supported. However,

if  you enter a function module for checking values, you can refer to any check table in your own coding."

 

I am able to see one radio button called "Function Module" when I click on Other Value Check on Value tab, but do not know how to use that.

Could anyone please guide me in this.

 

My requirement is:

1. create a characteristic called department.

2. link it to a class,

3. while creating a document in CV01N the f4 help should be available in department field.

 

Thanks & Regards

multi-level bom explosion in production order

$

0

Hello everybody,

 

Maybe someone can help me with this:

We create production orders for material variants directly in co01. As we are working with collective orders (sobsl 52) the bom of the variant is been exploded to all levels and available in production order. The material variant itself has no bom, but it is assigned with cs40. As we are now implementing SCM we can not use collective orders any more. But without usage of collective orders multi-level bom explosion in production order does not work. Did somebody encounter the same problem? We want to find a way to have a multi-level bom explosion in production order for material variants without own bom and without usage of collective orders. Any input will be much appreciated.

 

Thanks a lot.

 

Best Regards,

Material Variants Matching of second level configurable

$
0
0

Dear Experts,

 

   I am using a two level configuration and would like to match the material variant at the second level.  The first level is set as a sales order in the configuration profile and the second level which is our configurable finished product which we sometime distribute as a stock item.  This is a pretty standard use of the configurable products in SAP.

 

   I am not able to get the material variant to appear on the sales order under the higher level item (sales order set).  When configuring the product structure in the sales order, I configure the top level then switch to the second level and configure it.  The material variant still shows as a possible variant but when I confirm the configuration the variant selection window does not appear like it would if I ordered only the second level finished product on its own.

 

Do you have some suggestions of where I can look to make this work?

 

Thank you

CT04 and the 'several dependencies' issue

$
0
0

Hello everyone,

 

I'm new in the Community, and I hope I can help and learn as much as possible here

 

 

Let me share with you a little issue I have been struggling longer than what I'd like to regarding T codeCT04.

I will try to explain it as simplest as possible, as I have not much experience and I am also using a lot of business specific data:

 

 

I use CU01 for defining several dependencies such as:

DependencyD_A which definition is ENG_MOD='V6'

Dependency D_B which definition is ENG_MOD='WANKLE'

 

I use CL02 for defining a Class named ENG_PROPERTIES, and it has two Characteristics (ENG_YEAR and ENG_MOD).

 

I use CT04 for managing CharacteristicENG_YEAR.

I may want to define the Value2007 within the CharacteristicENG_YEAR, and create its Objects Dependencies.

 

If I set an Object Dependency called D_A (using the one I already made on CU01); then, the ENG_YEAR = 2007 has a Dependency with ENG_MOD = V6.

And everything is working properly!

 

PS: I am using a made-up example, trying to make it simple. This example could mean that one of the options of engines manufactured during 2007 could be a model of V6 engine...

 

HOWEVER!!!!!

 

If I set a second Object Dependency called D_B (using the one I already made on CU01); then, the ENG_YEAR = 2007SHOULD have both Dependencies with ENG_MOD = V6 and ENG_MOD = WANKLE.

This would mean that an engine manufactured during 2007 could be a V6 engine or a Wankle engine.

 

 

 

 

I use IA05 for defining a General Maintenance Task List for an engine called RP01. I link RP01 with ClassENG_PROPERTIES, and I fill in the Characteristics fields:

- ENG_MOD: V6.

- ENG_YEAR: 2007.

 

If I use these values, then SAP gives me an Inconsistency. And this does not happen if the Characteristic has ONLY ONE Object Dependency...

 

I feel like having two Object Dependencies does not work as a Logical OR. Could this be the reason?

 

I know a way to solve it, which is setting an Object Dependency which definition is ENG_MOD='V6' OR ENG_MOD='WANKLE'.

But due to the impact it has in the System (and in myself), this is not the option I would like to take...

 

Is there any formula for setting several Object Dependencies (already defined in CU01) working as OR?

 

I'm sorry for the huge message, but I wanted to explain it properly and the easiest way (even though is a large message, I hope it is not hard to understand).

 

Thank you very much for your help!

Darío

How to create variants for second-level configurable material

Hi

    My client has mult-level configurable materials..Second configurable material is procured from outside and they want to have some stable configure for this second-level configurable material...(like a variant for a finished configurable product)..

 

    I think it should be possible in standard SAP,but my test result is not..Do you think it is possible to have variants for second-level configurable material?If yes,pls tell me what should I note during the configuration...thanks...

Error during Planned order to production order conversion in VC.

$

Dear Members,

 

For a KMAT material, the planning strategy is set as 25 and a sales order is created with the proper characteristic values set.

 

After MRP run, planned orders are displayed with account assignment category as "M" and I'm getting this error message

 

"You cannot make an assignment to make-to-order stock", during planned order to production order conversion.

 

Actions taken to correct this error:

 

1.In the customizing activity Create Production order type in T.Code OPJH, the settlement Profile is set as SD1 for the particular production order type.

 

2.In T.Code OKO7, for the settlement profile SD1, under the valid receivers if the field value is set as 1 for material, then the system allows me to convert

 

the planned order into production order. But in the production order---> settlement rule its displaying the category as MAT with 100 %.

 

Is this is the standard behavior? If so in this specific Make to order scenario the settlement receiver will be the material itself?

 

Kindly please share your suggestions and view regarding the same.

 

Regards

Object dependencies in routing, class 001

$
0
0

Hello group,

 

We want to influence the routing machine time based on material classification.

These are not configurable materials / material variants, only plain materials classified with class type 001.

So for example there is a material characteristic "number of holes", and the machine time should be 5 minutes per hole.

 

This is MTS production. There are not that many variants so we wanted to avoid the complexity of variant configuration (creating configurable materials and material variants), but we also don't want to have different routings just to have the different machine time according to the number of holes.

 

Is it technically possible to create object dependencies in the routing operations, considering only the classification in class type 001?

 

After some tests, the conclusions were:

  - for configurable materials with both 001 and 300 classes, we managed to use in the operation object dependencies the values of characteristics from class 300, but not the ones from class 001;

  - for non-configurable materials / variants, the object dependency doesn't even seem to be triggered.

 

Anything we are missing or would we really have to go to class 300 and VC?

Thank you for any help.

Classification Team,

 

I have need to pop up message @ sales order configuration.

Is it possible to do same, when user is configuring product.

 

We have need to guide user when they are configuring sales order.

 

Our complex configuration is difficult to remember. some cases we have to guide user through pop up message.

 

Is it possible?

 

Pls provide guidance on same.

Append a new value in a characteristic of the multiple material classifications

$

Hi,

 

I want to add a value to a characteristic without overwriting the existing values.I want to do it for multiple materials at the same time i.e. it is a mass update.

I tried CLMM transaction. CLMM>Set and change values donot add to existing values. Either it replaces the existing values with new one or it throws an error when it finds some values exist in the material characterstic.

 

Through CLMM>Assign values in matrix, we have to manually do F4 for every material and add a new value.

 

Please suggest if I am missing something for CLMM or any other standard option for this mass change.

Thanks in Advance.

Dear Experts,

 

I have following queries in variant configuration.

 

1. I am aware of the variant configuration process with sale order processing. I would like to know the application of variant configuration with  Engineering configuration ie I want to simulate the configuration profile in t-code CU50 with option in configuration as Engineering and  how its application is used in PLM

 

2. I have created a customized material type by copying KMAT material type with indicator "Material is configurable" is active. But while creating a material code in MM01, I cannot see the "Material is configurable indicator" in Basic data 2 view and field "Configurable material" in MRP 3 view for child component material master. Please let me know which customization I need to check for this issue

 

I have checked enough SCN postings before posting this. Please provide your suggestion

Hi,

   I create a configurable material and use class as its BOM..While configuring this material,K class is duplicated in CU50 or VA01..but it's good in the planned order after running MRP...

 

  What's the probable reason for it?thanks..

 

 

Look,0040 is duplicated and i should only see one of them.

After MRP,the planned order is fine..only one item is chosen...

Material Variant, basic data 2 vs MRP 3

$
0
0

Hi,

       This is a great explanation of what I am looking for.  I just have a couple of items for clarification.  You mention both the basic data 2 tab and MRP 3 tab for linking to the configurable product.  I am not sure when to use one vs the other.  Would you ever use both?  Also, on the sales order entry, rather than starting with the configurable product and then checking for the material variant, you can just directly put the material variant on the order, right?   I have a configurable product which serves to essentially bundle a group of finished products together in one catalog product.   Building on your example of the BIKE, I have a BIKE-KIT, which includes different helmet options, jersey options, and shoe options in addition to the bike itself.  I want to make a material variant of this configuration, using the customers material number,  that is setup as a make to order.  We have the bike, helmets, jerseys, and shoes stocked so when we receive the order for the material variant,  we just have to pull each component from stock and ship it.  Is following your example using the MRP3 tab for configuring the variant a best practice for this scenario? 

 

Thanks,

Joseph
