variant material issue (make to stock)

[Former Member]

Dear All,

Our requirement is to capture all our customer specific requirement in sales order but we are not producing based on the customer requirement. we are producing based on the our standard and keeping it in stock. Currently we have customer specific material in sap and transferring the stock to customer specific material and selling to customers. To eliminate customer specific material in sap, we decided to capture the customer specification using variant configuration.

So, we have activated configurable material check box in FERT material (common material for all customer), extended the classification view, and profile and item cat group have been changed to configuration. While entering sales order, configuration pop is showing and allowed us to maintain the details and Sales process is running smoothly.

Whereas we are getting problem in process order and Costing. we are not able to create process order / costing for this material.

Is there any way to bring the characteristic pop up box in sales order without activating the configuration checkbox in material master(basic data 2)

Please let me know if there is any other solution to capture customer specification in sales order.

Thanks in advance,

Babu

Hi Babu,

What is the problem?

You say in SO things are correct.

What is the problem in the process order. How are you creating the process order? (MRP?)

If you say what the problem is with the process order, then the forum will help you
