Hi Songhua Kim,

This field is useful in many ways in APO.

1) Used to block obsolete materials not to get planned in APO. For eg, if you block obsolete materials in ECC with blocked status, during next CIF run, it communicates this master data change to APO and then avoid planning in APO SNP.

2) Used in sales blocking purposes, means to avoid sales order punching process and as a result, netting of forecast will not happen in APO

3) Used in blocking procurement and as a result, procurement orders will not get generated in APO SNP

4) Used in blocked for Task list/BOM, and as a result, the PPMs already generated will not get activated in APO and as a result, planned orders will not get genrated during SNP run

5) Used in blocking purchase and as a result, Purchase requisitons will not get generated in APO SNP run

Hope this will solve your query. Please confirm

Hi Songhua,

The field X-plant matl status helps you in maintain the orders. In case you want to block them from getting converted into production orders. You set status Z5(Blocked for Prod Ord only). This is particularly helpful in new product launches. When the finance people are not yet done with the cost rolling and all that stuff but the planning people wants to have some visibility on if the orders are created, how would they look like but they don't want to convert them into production orders.

When you set Z5 in this field and the MRP type as X0 in the MRP1, the material flows into APO and orders can be created and flown through CIF to R/3 as usual but when you convert the planned order to production order you will have a CIF block saying "material blocked for production".

But the planning people can still see all the planned orders in the system and their reports.

Is this what you are asking about?

Hi Songhua Kim,

When you are transferring material from ECC to APO, the mandatory requirement is that the X-plant material status in Global Basic view or in plant specific material status should not be in "Blocked" status. If it is the case, transfer will not happen.

When you get errors of such type, check the application logs using cfg1 or slg1 transaction code and then take necessary action on those error items and then try reciffing.

Hope this will solve your query.

Please confirm

As per my understanding, the material statuses are of two types,

1. Plant specific

2. Cross Plant specific (Maintained in Basic data view)

In the standard material master,Plant specific field appears on the Costing screen, MRP screen, Production Resources/Tools screen, Purchasing screen, Quality Management screen, and Work Scheduling screen and as mentioned Cross Plant Specific appears on the Basic Data screen. It is valid for the whole client.

Now, for example if you want to restrict the material for Inventory management at the global client level then you maintain material status as 02 in Basic dataview. Similarly if you want to block the material for purchasing at a specific plant then you set the material status to 01 in the Purchasing tab. Now this material is blocked for Inventory management at client level and blocked for purchasing at the specific plant.

If the MRP type of the material is set to X0, this material will be Cifed to APO and planned there. The Inventory management and purchasing relevant activities will be blocked in APO.

Hi,

It blocks only MRP run in R/3. Does not block it in APO.
