What is ABAP query?
ABAP/4 Query is a powerful tool to generate simple reports
without any coding. ABAP/4 Query can generate the following
3 simple reports:
Basic List: It is the simple reports.
Statistics: Reports with statistical functions like average, Percentages.
Ranked Lists: For analytical reports. – For creating a ABAP/4 Query, programmer has to create user group and a functional group. Functional group can be created using with or without logical database table. Finally, assign user group to functional group. Finally, create a query on the functional group generated.
How is step and counter differentiated?
Step Number is used to specify the sequential order for
condition types.
Counter is used when two or more Condition Types required
the same Step Number.
Ex : Step No. Counter C.Type
10 5 KOFI
10 10 KOFK
step is sequential order of a condition type.
counter is nothing but sub sequential number of a condition
type.
What are the effects of PGI?
the ownership of goods will be transferred with post goods issue and it updates the stock quantity in warehouse decreases the volume of stock and increase the goods sold.and also updates the postings to G.L.A/C
What is condition supplement and why is it used?
What are the Techniques in delivery scheduling? Backward scheduling & Forward Scheduling
Backward scheduling: System calculates material availability date based on the Requested delivery date. If the material is not available on that date the system calculates the earliest possible delivery date based on the material available date.
Forward Scheduling
What is Replenishment lead time?
RLT=The time taken by the material to be replenished
For trading goods:
------------------
RLT=plant delivery time+goods reciept processing time
For finished goods:
-------------------
RLT=Inhouse production time
Where is shipping conditions stored?
Shipping conditions are maintained in two places one is in customer master record under sales tab page in shipping screen and another is in sale document type. If u maintain in sale document type it over writes the value maintained in customer-material info.
What is material determination?
This is setup when business requires swapping of one material by the other material in a sales document. Example - When a product is under engineering change or there is a bug and you have another product, which is acceptable as replacement, then material determination can be used to set this scenario. Old product can be replaced by new product as per the launch date of the product. Material determination is also called as “Product selection”
*It uses condition technique for material
*Material determination procedure is based on the sales document type. With condition technique, criteria can be defined and condition records can be maintained.
*Standard material determination procedure for order type OR is A00001.
*Standard material determination condition type is A001
*With standard setup, condition record for swap materials is maintained for “material entered”. It means in standard SAP, material determination is triggered when material is entered in the sales order.
*Additional criteria can be added by customizing condition type A001.
*Material condition records are maintained in the main transaction menu in master data
Swapping can be based on certain business conditions. These are called as Substitution reasons. For each substitution reason, you can define substitution strategy.
*Substitution strategy controls
*System will automatically replace product as per material determination record after carrying out availability check or can give list of substitute products for users to check and select or replace material without availability check. It can also control whether both substituted and substitute material can be displayed in the sales order or only substitute material is to be displayed in the sales order.
*It controls printing of substituted or substitute material on output types like order confirmations.
*In delivery, no material determination is carried out for items copied from the order.
*Material determination in a delivery is carried out for new items if material determination has been activated for the corresponding sales document type
What is the central organizational element in purchasing?
Purchasing Organization.
How is plant determined?
System searches for the plant in the following manner:-
(1) first it searches for a plant from CMIR(customer-material info record).
(2)If it is not found there then it will search for a plant
in Customer master record of ship-to-party.
(3)If still it could not be found then it will check in
material master in Sales general/Plant view.
in this sequence the plant is determined.
What is a handling unit?
The SAP HU is used for tracking the handling units used by the materials. Some common handling units are packagings materials like cartons, pallets etc.
In the SAP system, the handling unit (HU) expands on the shipping unit. Handling units can be nested and you can also create new handling units from several handling units as often as you like. At the material item level, HUs contain the complete material identification, the quantity, and, in the case of serial numbers, the respective object list. Handling units have unique, scannable identification numbers that can be developed according to standards such as EAN 128 or SSCC.
Handling units contain all inventory management information of the materials they contain that are maintained in Inventory Management. There are also status messages that you can call up at any time that indicate whether a handling unit is only planned or if the ship-to party has been notified of the arrival of this handling unit, or whether it is in the warehouse or has already been posted to goods issue. The integrated history function also records each business process in the life cycle of each handling unit, meaning that you can track the handling unit’s path and development at any time.
Refer to : Logistics -> Central Functions -> Handling Unit Management
In HU-managed storage locations, all goods movements are executed through the specification of the respective HUs, and Inventory Management is performed through the handling units. If you are working without HU-managed storage locations, you can work with handling units (without stock information) as before in the delivery and in the shipment.
In HU-managed storage locations, materials can be managed in HUs only. Mixed stock made up of packed and non-packed materials within the same storage location are not supported. HUs can also be managed in interim storage types. Unpacking a material from a HU means that the stock of the material is posted to a storage location that is not HU-managed. If you call up normal material movements in connection with an HU-managed storage location, a delivery is created, rather than a direct material posting, which has been the procedure up to now.
Please note that if you want to use 311 to move the material already in stock, but in a non HUM Storage Location and you want to transfer those materials into a HUM Storage Location 304. If this is the case you can use the transaction VLMOVE with the destination plant and storage location. Before that you have to create the HU with the transaction code HU02 Storage location: where the material is and the status: in stock.
Handling units are unique at client level in at least one system. Using an indicator at client level, you can control whether you are going to work with the HU functions. Since the handling unit is a physical unit, the central logistics processes are controlled through the input of the handling unit identification. These processes include putaway, picking, and stock transfers, as well as goods receipts and goods issues.
A handling unit’s mobility can be limited if quality checks are active. Changes in the stock category caused by a quality inspection are made using a posting change in the handling unit.
There is also a report available that you can use to find and display handling units using different selection criteria such as material, packing instruction, or storage location.
Although the handling unit is basically a unit that remains constant in the system, you can change it by repacking the materials it contains. All the packing functions, such as packing, repacking, and unpacking, are completely supported by the handling unit functionality. In this way, handling units can be created in production, during goods receipt, or in the packing areas of the warehouse. If you have automatic packing, the handling unit is created from the packaging proposals defined in the system (from the packing instructions, for example)
What is difference between listing and exclusion?
1. Listing is nothing but whatever material u assign to particular customer, then he can access those materials .But exclusion is nothing but excluding the Particular material to the customer, then customer cannot access those materials.
For example-In pharmaceutical company, customer sometimes the customer may not have a license to sell certain product, then we can use this function.
2.Listing is suppose for a certain or group of customers u can assign materials only those can access. Exclusion is suppose u don’t want that certain materials certain customer should not access .So the particular customer can not purchase the same .
Always exclusion is having higher priority than listing. In exclusion the system refuses the entered materials if it is maintained in exclusion record for specific customer but in case of material listing it accepts only allowed material which we maintained in listing record for specific
customer .
How revenue account is determined?
Revenue a/c is determination :
1. Application
