Scales cannot be used directly in PO but can be pulled into the PO from various master data like info record, quota arrangement. </p><p><b>8. What is the difference between a contract and a scheduling agreement? </b><br />With regard to Outline Agreement:<br />1. You can create the centrally contract (cross-plant) where you can maintain different pricing conditions for each and every plant<br />2. You have to create the Release Order with reference to Outline Agreement.<br />3. No detailed delivery schedule can be made in the Release Order.<br />4. No Release documentation is created.<br />5. Only time-dependent conditions can be created.<br />6. Some Item Category 'M' and 'W' can be used.<br />With regard to Scheduling Agreement:<br />1. The Plant Location must be entered in the Scheduling Agreement.<br />2. We do not have to create any other purchasing document except for delivery schedule line via Transaction ME38 or MRP running (with the appropriate setting of Source List).<br />3. Delivery Schedule line items are created subject to your specific requirement.<br />4. Can create both Scheduling Agreement with and without Release Documentation (subject to the Document Type LP or LPA) with the selection of either FRC or JIT delivery schedule.<br />5. Either time-dependent or time-independent conditions can be created subject to the customizing in the Document Type of the Scheduling Agreement.<br />6. Item Category 'M' and 'W' can not be used. </p><p><b>9. How does the system calculate taxes? </b> </p><p><b>10. How does the system calculate nondeductible taxes?</b> </p><p><b>11. What is meant by batches? How can the batches be searched?</b><br />A batch is a subdivision of your stock of a material having the same characteristics.<br />For instance:<br />- food production uses batches to indicate the day of production.<br />- paint production uses batches based on production date and the used ingredients. It is very hard to reproduce the same color in exactly the same way at two different moments.<br />- ore may be divided in batches based on their mineral content. </p><p>You can search batches using the standard search facility (match code, key F4) based on the naming convention of the batches or, if you use batch classification, based on the characteristics of the batches. </p><p><b>12. How is a shelf-life item managed in SAP? What is the full cycle?</b> </p><p><b>13. What are the settings required for quota arrangement? </b><br />To set up a quota arrangement for the procurement of a material, proceed as follows:<br />Master data -> Quota arrangement -> Maintain, enter the material and plant number, press ENTER to display the overview screen for the quota arrangement periods, Enter a validity period for quota arrangement, Enter date until which the quota arrangement is valid. The start date is calculated by the system. Press ENTER .<br />Select the quota arrangement and choose Goto -> Item overview to display the item overview screen of the quota arrangement. Enter a quota arrangement item for each source of supply you want to include in the quota arrangement.<br />You must enter the following data.<br />- Procurement type<br />- Special procurement type, Enter k in the S column, for example, if a consignment arrangement for the material exists with the vendor.<br />- Vendor number<br />- Procurement plant (supplying plant):<br />- Quota column, enter the quota assigned to each item.<br />Press ENTER .<br />The percentage distribution of the quotas is calculated and displayed automatically by the system.<br />Save the quota arrangement. The system assigns a number to the quota arrangement item automatically </p><p><b>14. What is meant by MRP Type and lot sizing?</b> </p><p><b>15. Can it be configured in such a way that the external requisitions can also be taken into account while MRP runs in consumption-based planning if VB is selected as MRP type? </b> </p><p><b>16. How are free items managed in a PO? yu need to tick the tem as free in the PO. The price will be zero for such PO's.</b> </p><p><b>17. What are the differences between release procedure with classification and release procedure without classification? When are they used? </b><br />Release procedure with classification means the Purchase requsition can be released both at item level & at the header level. Release procedure with out classification can also be used for PR which is used for item level release only. all other external documents cannot be relesed with classification. The two procedures are mutually exclusive (that is to say, you must decide in favor of one of them only - you cannot use both). </p><p><b>18. Is it possible to have a release procedure without classification for a PO?</b><br />No </p><p><b>19. What is the maximum number of levels available in SAP? </b><br />Did not get this question …pls clarify. </p><p><b>20. Is it possible to have scales in a quotation? </b><br />No </p><p><b>21. What is GR blocked stock? When it can be used? </b><br />Whenever you are not sure about the quality of the product received, you can put in GR blocked stock. </p><p><b>22. How are the variations in subcontracting taken care of in SAP? </b> </p><p><b>23. How to give specifications for developments?</b><br />We normally prepare a business requirement document in which we specify what is required. what field & tables have to be referred for the required development. </p><p><b>24. How to create PR or PO by MRP? </b><br />The PR is created according to the safety stock mentioned for the material or can be triggered from a requirement . For creating a PO, you need to have the scheduling agreement in place .After the MRP is run the schedule lines are generated which are nothing but the PO. </p>Technologyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02848910784152231987noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1074548852127911955.post-12757155558182377472009-02-10T15:30:00.001+05:302009-02-10T15:30:29.551+05:30Material Management Interview Questions<p><b>Problem is that after goods receipt and AFTER invoice verification, reversal of goods receipt is being done.

How to deactivate this vendor?</b> </p><p>You can block a vendor at the following levels: </p><p>All company code<br />Single company code<br />All Purchase org<br />Single Purchase org </p><p><b>Where to Get the Goods Movement Type List?</b> </p><p>Step 1) Run spro command/TC<br />Step 2) Then move to "SAP Reference IMG" screen<br />Step 3) Then navigate following path:<br />IMG --> Materials Management --> Inventory Management and Physical Inventory --> Movement Types --> Copy, Change Movement types<br />Here with "Copy, Change Movement types" option a help tutorial is available (rectangular blue colour icon). In that go to "Further information" section where you can find a big list of movement types with some brief explanation. </p><p><b>Where the schedule margin key is customized?</b> </p><p>You define the order float in the scheduling margin key, The scheduling margin key is copied from the material master. The float before production or float after production and the release period are defined in the scheduling margin key </p><p>For Customizing for Shop Floor Control, by choosing Operations --> Scheduling --> Define Scheduling Margin Key .<br />The scheduling margin key is assigned to the material ( MRP area in the material master) and is transferred when the production order is created. These values can be changed in the production order. </p><p><b>What is the function of OBYC?</b> </p><p>Function of the OBYC stand for Configure Automatic Postings. In this step, you enter the system settings for Inventory Management and Invoice Verification transactions for automatic postings to G/L accounts. </p><p>Postings are made to G/L accounts automatically in the case of Invoice Verification and Inventory Management<br />transactions relevant to Financial and Cost Accounting. </p><p>For example, Posting lines are created in the Stock account and Consumption account. </p><p><b>Tell me what is *make to order*?</b> </p><p>Make-to-order production is a process in which a product is individually manufactured for a particular customer. In contrast to mass production for an unspecified market where a material is manufactured many times, in make-to-order production a material is created only once though the same or a similar production process might be repeated at a later time. </p><p>In global trade, you often need to process several different kinds of transactions at the same time. The Trading Execution Workbench (TEW) provides a central cockpit where traders can process trading contracts and their subcomponents, such as purchase orders and sales orders and follow-on documents. In addition, TEW automates a large part of the data entry, making processing quicker, easier, and more error-free. </p><p><b>How to delete a material completely?</b> </p><p>Try MMDE transaction but be careful this will remove all material from Client. </p><p><b>What is the use of Tables in MM. i.e. How the tables get created?</b> </p><p>Through SE11 you can create a new Table. In MM if you create a Material Master MARA, MARM, MARC,MARD, MBEW & MVKE will updated. In Vendor Master LFA1, LFB1 & LFM1 will be updated. The same applies to EKKO,EKPO for P.O, MSEG & MKPF for MIGO & RBKP for MIRO. </p><p><b>If in any error, only the message no. ! or the table no. is shown , then how to resolve the error using message no. or table no.?</b> </p><p>Contact ABAP or BASIS person to resolve this. </p><p><b>How to create new transaction codes? </b> </p><p>In transaction code SE93 you can create, Change & Display a Transaction Code. </p>Technologyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02848910784152231987noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1074548852127911955.post-41837201424416176342009-02-10T15:29:00.002+05:302009-02-10T15:30:03.264+05:30MM Support Problem Solution<p><b>Is it possible to maintain the same material master with same code in all plants in a company. Our client is using same materials in all their four plants?</b> </p><p>Material numbers are always maintained at Company code level. If you look at the Material master data, some data is maintained at Company code level, some at Plant level and some at Storage location level. If you have all the 4 plants attached to one company code, they should have the same material number. What you need to do is to extend the material to all the 4 plants if thats your requirement. Also, if you have your valuation area as your Plant, then you have the flexibility to maintain Plant specific pricing for the same material. </p><p>You can use MM01 T code to copy material from old plant to new plant. But check for the required details in your new plant and make changes accordingly. <span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);">*-- Yogendra Wagh</span> </p><p><b>Where we do the configuration for the cost centre allocation, because whenever we GR a material, accounting document is created for that particular material.

In which there are<br />1. Access Sequence 2. Condition Record 3. Condition Type 4. Condition Table. </p><p>A Access Sequence access a Condition Record of a Condition Type in a Condition Table is a Condition Technique.This is a simple logic </p><p>Here the Condition Type is very important like PB00, PBXX,RA01 etc.<br />In the background every Condition Type has its own defition means the purpose of the Condition Type like, is it for Pricing or Percentage, Quntity base, Accrual Feilds etc is to be defined to work this functions. Normally we use the existing ones without any risk. But some cases, we have to Create a New Condition Types as per the organisation requirement. </p><p>The Pricing Schema is useful to minimise condition types while mention prices for Vendor on the basis of Pricing Schema which we defined according to organisation requirement. </p><p>The Pricing Schema means the calculations procedure of Condition Type. </p><p>Ex. RA01 - Discoount % is caclulated on PB00 - Gross Price means<br />RA01 is based on PB00 like that we have to define in the Pricing Schema<br />which makes easy to use in real time.<br />Here PB00 has the Access Sequence - 0002.<br />But RA01 does not have the Access Sequence.Why because it is a dependent on PB00. But both are Condition Types. </p><p>In the system, by default some standard Scheme will be there at Vendor Schema Group in the Vendor Master Screen means the standard one is assigned which is very lengthy which may fullfil our requirement. But some cases which may not fullfil our requirement, in such we have to define. </p><p>For the configuration, I may not able to explain properly through here but will give some idea. </p><p>Configuration: SPRO - IMG - Material Management - Purchasing - Conditions - Define Price Deternmination Process:<br />1. Define Access Sequence<br />2. Define Condition Type<br />3. Defince Calculation Schema:- Here you have to define the Schema - Define Schema group<br />1. Define Schema Group vendor<br />2. Define Pricing Schema group<br />3. Schema group for Purchase Organisation<br />4. Assign Schema group to Purchase Organisation - Define Schema determination<br />1.define calculation schema for Standard purchase organisation </p><p>After completion of the Schema Group, we have to assign it to Vendors.<br />Then whenever we use any transaction with this Vendor, the concerned Schema will work as configured by us. </p><p>The Pricing in MM is vast because each Condition have its own importance and each Access Sequence have its own importance. So you need not bother about this. First you learn how to define the Calculation Schema through the above. </p>Technologyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02848910784152231987noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1074548852127911955.post-59146558907818012352009-02-10T15:29:00.001+05:302009-02-10T15:29:34.166+05:30Common MM Questions<p><b>Can any one tell me what is MM closing and what is FI closing?

SAP does not provide transactions/reports that will provide <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">moving average value for a given date</span>. </span><br /><span style="font-family: Garamond;">How can I report moving average price for material number 10000000 at plant 0001 on July 4, 1998. </span><br /><span style="font-family: Garamond;"><b>A:</b> Try any of these solutions: </span><br /><span style="font-family: Garamond;">1. Change the updating level of the structure (S031) to "daily". In LIS the total value and the total stock are available. Divide value by the stock. It is possible to calculate this dynamically when the analysis is run and to display the result. </span><br /><span style="font-family: Garamond;">2. Create your own structure in LIS and populate it by copying the Moving Average Price from the material master every time there is a transaction. You will have data on those days when there was a transaction. </span> </p><p><span style="font-family: Garamond;"><b>Q: </b>We have defined all the variables for the materials. However, when I attempt to use <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Material Matchcode</span> object MAT1, I get the response <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">"No possible entries found"</span>. Why? </span><br /><span style="font-family: Garamond;"><b>A:</b> Matchcode i.d. "B", "Material by bill of material" has a selection condition for field STLNR NE ' '. STLNR is the BOM number associated with a material in table MAST. Hence the message - "no possible entries..." pops up if there are no bills of materials associated with your material numbers. You get the matchcodes as long as the material referred by you has BOM number associated with it. </span> </p><p><span style="font-family: Garamond;"><b>Q: </b>The <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">matchcode</span> object selection is defaulted to matctcode ID <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">"B".</span> Iwould like to <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">change to M</span> "Material by Description" What is the solution? </span><br /><span style="font-family: Garamond;"><b>A: </b>Press the pull down arrow on the material number field and matchcode "B" is displayed, press F5 double-click matchcode i.d.

How we can do it ?<br /><b>A:</b> Use "split valuation". Stocks may be received into separate storage locations. Transfer stocks may be done from a storage location/plant to another storage location/plant. </p><p><b>Q:</b> We want to <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">change the calculation of Moving Average Price</span>. We know that the same is in MBEW-VERPR and two transactions to consider - MRHR, MB01. Is there a transaction to change MAV or all the places it is needed?<br /><b>A:</b> Any Goods receipt or issue (in case of split valuated material) changes Moving Average price depending upon the valuation type which is used when posting the goods issue. You have to go through all the transactions involving those!<br />For Example:<br />Material X is using split valuation by origin:<br />Malaysia : MAV 60 USD - total stock 100 units<br />India: MAV 50 USD - total stock 200 units<br />Total stock 300 units MAV 53.33<br />Here , goods issues will also affect the global MAV, despite not changing MAV from origin country. </p><p><b>Q:</b> What is the <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">use of configurable material</span>.?<br /><b>A:</b> Configurable material is useful if you have a large number of combination of parts that go into a product. It means different permutations and combinations of the parts for same material. If you maintain a unique material code for each combination , you require a large number of material numbers. KMAT may be used in such a case where you maintain just one generic product code. A super BOM is maintained for such a material consisting of all possible alternatives. A routing is also maintained consisting of all possible operations that could be used. Typically configurable material is used in Made To Order (MTO) environment. However frequently ordered configurations may be planned with a material variant which needs to have a material master record. Thus Material variants may have stock and value. Depending upon characteristic values chosen at sales order entry Sales Order BOM is created. Routing operations are also chosen depending upon which BOM components are assigned to them. </p><p><b>Q: </b>Will <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Source List</span> automatically appear <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">in Material Master</span> as <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">default</span> if maintained <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">at plant level</span> using OME5? </p><p><b>A1: </b>If you have maintained source list requirement in OME5 and have not maintained the source list for the material , Po can not be released. You are required to maintain source list for all materials in the plant where the indicator is set if you maintain source list at plant level. Else you can make use of info record to do so automatically. </p><p><b>Q:</b> We have One company with a plant and another company with a sales organization. Which is better option between these - <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">PO or Stock Transfer Order</span> ? </p><p><b>A:</b> Cross company Stock Transport Orders can be done.<br /># Configure using transaction OMGN.<br /># Depending upon the sending and receiving plants, maintain sales organization and customer data in customizing.<br /># Maintain the supplying plant as a vendor and attach the plant to the vendor in the Vendor Master.<br /># Material type has to be HALB or HAWA.<br /># Ensure that the company with sales Organization has a plant to take care of stocking.<br /># The PO used is NB and not Stock Transfer PO.<br />Configure SD for inter-company billing to enable picking up the pricing procedure for billing.<br /># Carry Out delivery through process delivery due list and billing through process billing due list. </p><p><b>Q:</b> We can make field mandatory.

RMDATIND is used to create /update material master<br />record.<br /><br /></span></span><span style="font-size: 85%; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px;">Q: How can we delete materials permanently from Material master?<br /></span></span><span style="font-size: 85%;"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px;">A: Use transaction MM70 - Material<br />Master->Other->Reorganization->Material->Choose.<br />Build variant with selection range of material master records to be selected for<br />deletion and maintain run parameters.<br />Execute.<br />Use transaction MM71 - Material Master-> other-> Re<br />organizationn-->Material->Reorganization<br />Build a second variant<br />Maintain run parameters and execute.<br />It is also important to remove the records manually from info record, POs, PRs,<br />reservation etc for successful deletion of the material.<br /><br /></span></span><span style="font-size: 85%; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px;">Q: SAP only provides moving average value for current, previous period, and<br />previous year. SAP does not provide transactions/reports that will provide<br />moving average value for a given date. How can I report moving average price<br />for material number 10000000 at plant 0001 on July 4, 1998 .<br /></span></span><span style="font-size: 85%;"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px;">A: Try any of these solutions:<br />1. Change the updating level of the structure (S031) to "daily". In LIS the total<br />value and the total stock are available. Divide value by the stock. It is possible<br />to calculate this dynamically when the analysis is run and to display the result.<br />2. Create your own structure in LIS and populate it by copying the Moving<br />Average Price from the material master every time there is a transaction. You<br />will have data on those days when there was a transaction.<br /><br /></span></span><span style="font-size: 85%; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px;">Q: We have defined all the variables for the materials. However, when I attempt<br />to use Material Matchcode object MAT1, I get the response "No possible entries<br />found". Why?<br /></span></span><span style="font-size: 85%;"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px;">A: Matchcode i.d. "B", "Material by bill of material" has a selection condition for<br />field STLNR NE ' '. STLNR is the BOM number associated with a material in<br />table MAST. Hence the message - "no possible entries..." pops up if there are<br />no bills of materials associated with your material numbers.<br />You get the matchcodes as long as the material referred by you has BOM<br />number associated with it.<br /><br /></span></span><span style="font-size: 85%; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px;">Q: The matchcode object selection is defaulted to matctcode ID "B". Iwould like<br />to change to M " Material by Description" What is the solution?<br /></span></span><span style="font-size: 85%;"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px;">A: Press the pull down arrow on the material number field and matchcode "B"<br />is displayed, press<br />F5 double-click matchcode i.d. "M", then press F6 . This will set matchcode "M"<br />as the default.<br /></span></span></span><span class="text"><span style="font-size: 85%; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px;">Q: We have one material master : X and the unit of measure is 'pcs' and two serial<br />number : A,B For this material we make two Pos First PO calls material X , 1 pcs<br />price 100 (will use serial number A) Second PO calls material X , 1 pcs price 250<br />(will use serial number B) Goods Receipt is done and by filling serial number for<br />the fist PO with A and the second PO with B. We want to transfer material X serial<br />number A to another plant and want the valuation of this material as 100. How we<br />can do it ?<br /><br /></span></span><span style="font-size: 85%;"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px;">A: Use "split valuation". Stocks may be received into separate storage locations.<br />Transfer stocks may be done from a storage location/plant to another storage<br />location/plant.<br /><br /></span></span><span style="font-size: 85%; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px;">Q: We want to change the calculation of Moving Average Price. We know that the<br />same is in MBEW-VERPR and two transactions to consider - MRHR, MB01. Is<br />there a transaction to change MAV or all the places it is needed?<br /></span></span><span style="font-size: 85%;"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px;">A: Any Goods receipt or issue (in case of split valuated material) changes Moving<br />Average price depending upon the valuation type which is used when posting the<br />goods issue. You have to go through all the transactions involving those!<br />For Example:<br />Material X is using split valuation by origin:<br />Malaysia : MAV 60 USD - total stock 100 units<br />India: MAV 50 USD - total stock 200 units<br />Total stock 300 units MAV 53.33<br />Here , goods issues will also affect the global MAV, despite not changing MAV<br />from origin country.<br /><br /></span></span><span style="font-size: 85%; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px;">Q: What is the use of configurable material.?<br /></span></span><span style="font-size: 85%;"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px;">A: Configurable material is useful if you have a large number of combination of<br />parts that go into a product. It means different permutations and combinations of<br />the parts for same material. If you maintain a unique material code for each<br />combination , you require a large number of material numbers. KMAT may be<br />used in such a case where you maintain just one generic product code.<br />A super BOM is maintained for such a material consisting of all possible<br />alternatives. A routing is also maintained consisting of all possible operations that<br />could be used. Typically configurable material is used in Made To Order (MTO)<br />environment. However frequently ordered configurations may be planned with a<br />material variant which needs to have a material master record.<br />Thus Material variants may have stock and value. Depending upon characteristic<br />values chosen at sales order entry Sales Order BOM is created. Routing<br />operations are also chosen depending upon which BOM components are<br />assigned to them.<br /></span></span></span><span class="text"><span style="font-size: 85%; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px;">Q: Will Source List automatically appear in Material Master as default if maintained<br />at plant level using OME5?<br /></span></span><span style="font-size: 85%;"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px;">A: If you have maintained source list requirement in OME5 and have not<br />maintained the source list for the material. PO cannot be released. You are<br />required to maintain source list for all materials in the plant where the indicator is<br />set if you maintain source list at plant level. Else you can make use<br />of info record to do so automatically.<br /><br /></span></span><span style="font-size: 85%; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px;">Q: We have One company with a plant and another company with a sales<br />organization. Which is better option between these - PO or Stock Transfer Order ?<br /></span></span><span style="font-size: 85%;"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px;">A: Cross company Stock Transport Orders can be done.<br />1. Configure using transaction OMGN.<br />2. Depending upon the sending and receiving plants, maintain sales organization<br />and customer data<br />3. in customizing. Maintain the supplying plant as a vendor and attach the plant to<br />the vendor in the Vendor Master.<br />4. Material type has to be HALB or HAWA.<br />5. Ensure that the company with sales Organization has a plant to take care of<br />stocking.<br />6. The PO used is NB and not Stock Transfer PO.<br />7. Configure SD for inter-company billing to enable picking up the pricing<br />procedure for billing.<br />8. Carry Out delivery through process delivery due list and billing through process<br />billing due list.<br /><br /></span></span><span style="font-size: 85%; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px;">Q: We can make field mandatory. We want to make a default value to a Particular<br />field in the Material Master. Say, We want that the period indicator in the MRP2<br />view as "P". What is the best way?<br /></span></span><span style="font-size: 85%;"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px;">A: Use transaction variant.

You wish to take delivery of the material at different times. A graduated discount scale exists for the material. How do you proceed if you wish to take advantage of the discount arrangement?<br /><br />Answers:<br />A) Enter several order items with the same material number and different delivery dates.<br />B) Enter one order item with the material number and assign the material to different accounts.<br />C) Enter an order item with the material number and create a number of schedule lines.<br />D) Enter a number of purchase orders for the material and specify different delivery dates.<br /><br />Question:<br />In the purchase order on which the goods receipt is based, you defined a purchase order unit that differs from the purchase order unit. What is the significance of the purchase order price unit and what should you take note of in the case of a goods receipts?<br /><br />Answers:<br />A) The purchase order price unit is stored in the material master record or purchasing info record and defines the unit of measure in which the material is ordered.<br />B) The system establishes the relationship between the purchase order price unit and the purchase order unit conversion in the purchase order.<br />C) At the time of goods receipt, both the quantity in the purchase order unit and the quantity in the purchase order price unit have to be entered, however, the quantity in purchase order piece unit is calculated by the system. You have to change it when the calculated quantity differs from reality.<br />D) Both at the time of goods receipt and invoice verification, the material is valuated on the basis of the purchase order unit.<br /><br />Question:<br />You enter a goods issue and receive the following message: "W: On , only 0.000 pieces are available". What do you conclude from this?<br /><br />Answers:<br />A) No stocks of the material exist anywhere in the entire plant. Therefore, nothing can be withdrawn.<br />B) Only the specified storage location does not contain any stocks of the material. Therefore, nothing can be withdrawn.<br />C) The material exist in the specified storage location on the current day, however, it is unavailable, because of other reservations.<br />D) The message represents a warning which you can ignore by pressing the<br />ENTER key.<br /><br />Question:<br />Which of the following statements on procuring a material of the material type NLAG are correct?<br /><br />Answers:<br />A) The purchase order must be account assigned.<br />B) The goods receipt must always be unvaluated.<br />C) When you enter an invoice, you can change the account assignment as long as the goods receipt was unvaluated.<br />D) When the material is for consumption, no document is ever created in Financial Accounting.<br /><br />Question:<br />Which of the following stock transfer are relevant to valuation?<br /><br />Answers:<br />A) Stock transfer from storage location to storage location in the same plant or company code.<br />B) Stock transfer from consignment stores of vendor XY to our unrestricted-use stock in storage location 0001.<br />C) Stock transfer from stock in quality inspection in storage location 001 to stock in quality inspection in storage location 0002 in the same plant.<br />D) Stock transfer of a material from storage location 0001 from plant 0001<br />to plant 0002.

Change the updating level of the structure (S031) to "daily". In LIS the total value and the total<br /> stock are available. Divide value by the stock. It is possible to calculate this dynamically when<br /> the analysis is run and to display the result.<br />2. Create your own structure in LIS and populate it by copying the Moving Average Price from the<br /> material master every time there is a transaction. You will have data on those days when there<br /> was a transaction. </p><p><span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);">Q: We have defined all the variables for the materials. However, when I attempt to use Material</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"> Matchcode object MAT1, I get the response "No possible entries found". Why?</span> </p><p>A: Matchcode i.d. "B", "Material by bill of material" has a selection condition for field STLNR NE ' '.<br />STLNR is the BOM number associated with a material in table MAST. Hence the message - "no<br />possible entries..." pops up if there are no bills of materials associated with your material numbers.<br />You get the matchcodes as long as the material referred by you has BOM number associated with<br /> it.<br /></p><p><span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);">Q: The matchcode object selection is defaulted to matctcode ID "B". Iwould like to change to M "</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"> Material by Description" What is the solution?</span> </p><p>A: Press the pull down arrow on the material number field and matchcode "B" is displayed, press<br />F5 double-click matchcode i.d.

This will set matchcode "M" as the default.<br /></p><p><span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);">Q: We have one material master : X and the unit of measure is 'pcs' and two serial number : A,B</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"> For this material we make two Pos</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"> First PO calls material X , 1 pcs price 100 (will use serial number A)</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"> Second PO calls material X , 1 pcs price 250 (will use serial number B)</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"> Goods Receipt is done and by filling serial number for the fist PO with A and the second PO</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"> with B.</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"> We want to transfer material X serial number A to another plant and want the valuation of this</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"> material as 100. How we can do it ?</span> </p><p>A: Use "split valuation". Stocks may be received into separate storage locations. Transfer stocks may<br />be done from a storage location/plant to another storage location/plant.<br /></p><p><span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);">Q: We want to change the calculation of Moving Average Price. We know that the same is in</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"> MBEW-VERPR and two transactions to consider - MRHR, MB01. Is there a transaction to</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"> change MAV or all the places it is needed?</span> </p><p>A: Any Goods receipt or issue (in case of split valuated material) changes Moving Average price<br />depending upon the valuation type which is used when posting the goods issue. You have to go<br />through all the transactions involving those!<br />For Example:<br />Material X is using split valuation by origin:<br />Malaysia : MAV 60 USD - total stock 100 units<br />India: MAV 50 USD - total stock 200 units<br />Total stock 300 units MAV 53.33<br />Here , goods issues will also affect the global MAV, despite not changing MAV from origin<br />country.<br /></p><p><span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);">Q: What is the use of configurable material.?</span> </p><p>A: Configurable material is useful if you have a large number of combination of parts that go into a<br />product. It means different permutations and combinations of the parts for same material. If you<br />maintain a unique material code for each combination , you require a large number of material<br />numbers. KMAT may be used in such a case where you maintain just one generic product code.<br />A super BOM is maintained for such a material consisting of all possible alternatives. A routing is<br />also maintained consisting of all possible operations that could be used. Typically configurable<br />material is used in Made To Order (MTO) environment. However frequently ordered<br />configurations may be planned with a material variant which needs to have a material master record.<br />Thus Material variants may have stock and value. Depending upon characteristic values chosen at<br />sales order entry Sales Order BOM is created. Routing operations are also chosen depending upon<br />which BOM components are assigned to them.<br /></p><p><span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);">Q: Will Source List automatically appear in Material Master as default if maintained at plant level</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"> using OME5?</span> </p><p>A: If you have maintained source list requirement in OME5 and have not maintained the source list<br />for the material. PO cannot be released. You are required to maintain source list for all materials<br />in the plant where the indicator is set if you maintain source list at plant level. Else you can make use<br />of info record to do so automatically.<br /></p><p><span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);">Q: We have One company with a plant and another company with a sales organization. Which is better</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"> option between these - PO or Stock Transfer Order ?</span> </p><p>A: Cross company Stock Transport Orders can be done. </p><ol><li> Configure using transaction OMGN.</li><li> Depending upon the sending and receiving plants, maintain sales organization and customer data</li><br />in customizing. <li> Maintain the supplying plant as a vendor and attach the plant to the vendor in the Vendor Master.</li><li> Material type has to be HALB or HAWA.</li><li> Ensure that the company with sales Organization has a plant to take care of stocking.</li><li> The PO used is NB and not Stock Transfer PO.</li><li> Configure SD for inter-company billing to enable picking up the pricing procedure for billing.</li><li> Carry Out delivery through process delivery due list and billing through process billing due list.</li></ol> <p><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);">Q: We can make field mandatory.
