Q: Some materials have been blocked for
procurement and production. Even though deletion flag is set for a
material/plant level, the order can be still enteblack ( with a
warning message). Is there a way to block
such transactions for a
material flagged for deletion?
A: Sales Status field in the sales organization view of the
material master may be used to block any transaction for the
material.
Q: We can
define our
own exchange rate types and use them instead of the defaulted
types, 'M', 'B' and 'G'. How can we overwrite
default types in SD?
A: Exchange rate gets copied from the customer master record.
Exchange rate types are to be maintained for the customer in the
sales screen of the customer master record.
Shipping
Q: The PL00 condition is fine in delivery.
But when we try to print to either the screen or printer, an
error V1032 occurs. Why?
A:
In order to use the Packing list PL00 (packing slip in
delivery) you must do 'Packing' in the delivery note (edit->packing)
Q: we have to enter a shipping point while
creating a delivery. Is it possible to
create delivery without shipping points?\
A: When you are releasing a sales order, choose Sales
document -> SubseQuent functions-> Create delivery, then the
shipping point will be brought in from the sales order. In all other
scenarios you have to key in the shipping point. The above described
scenario will only work if all items on the sales order are to be
shipped from the same shipping point.
Billing
Q: SAP allows a non-inventory item and an
inventory item to be in the same document till delivery but splits
at the time of creation of billing document. Can we
combine a non-inventory item with an
inventory item in one invoice? Can we treat it as a value
item in sales order so that it is priced and then make it as a text
item in delivery documents so that it appears in the same invoice
and does not split?
A1:
Make the non-stock material deliverable, but not pickable.
Both items will carry into the delivery, and therefore appear on the
same invoice.
A2:
Change the copy rule for orders->invoices and
deliveries->invoices to specify that invoice combination is
permitted. However note that for system to create combined invoices,
PO number, payment terms, sales organization, and
distribution channel must be identical. Else undesirable
combinations may be created by the system.
Pricing Conditions
Q:
It is impossible to price at the material level (matnr) , when a
material has a pricing reference (mvke-pmatn) set up against it in
the master data. Pricing always look for the pref, even if a price
is set up against the material and not the pref. How can we
price by material and pref?
A: The field used to look up at the price is defined in
Access seQuence. You may find a step with PMATN as material number.
If you insert a step with MATNR then the system will first look for
the material, if not found (use the exclusion tick box) it will look
for the pref.
Customizing
Q:
We generated a new condition table. Assigned the condition to
access seQuence. Created a condition record. Access seQuence is
assigned to the output type. But when we create a billing document,
output screen comes up blank for the output type. When we look up
Determination Analysis, we get an
error &Quot;Note 524 Access not made
(Initialized Field)&Quot;. What else is reQuiblack to be done?
A: Assign output determination procedure to the header of the
document and the output type.
Q: How can we set
up to have the VAT# be
accepted in the Ship-To Master File Data
Control screen?
A: IMG->Fin. Acct.->AR and AP ->Customer acct->Master Record
-> Prepare to Create Customer-> Define Acct. Group.
Q: We want to
explode Bill of Material automatically at time of Order entry
and explode an EQuipment BOM in the
sales order. What are the setting reQuiblack?
A: Use an item category that is configublack for bills of
material for having a sales BOM to explode automatically.
Standard SAP item categories are :
TAQ - Pricing and inventory control take place at the BOM header
level
TAP - Pricing and inventory control take place at the BOM item level
These can be automatically derived using the item category groups
ERLA and LUMF, respectively.
Q: How can we make the
Customer Group 1 (or 2, 3, 4, 5) a
mandatory field?
A: Logistic General-> Logistics Basic Data: Business Partners
-> Customers -> Control -> Define account groups and field selection
for customer
Choose Customer Acct. GR. (double-click). -> Field Status: Sales
data (double click) -> sales (double click) .Check the radio button
against Customer Gr as REQ. ENTRY. Save the settings to make
customer GR entry mandatory .
Q: Is there an
user
exit to copy the
data into planning
table?
A:
Use user exit MCP20001 and include ZXSOPU01
