material usage tracking per employee

[exaltedsaturn]

Hello Gurus,

we are faced with a scenario where the employees of our company consume safety supplies (ear plugs, hard hats etc). Is there any functionality available in SAP that can allow us to track the consumption of materials per employee. We also want to set limits of material consumption per employee per period and if they exceed their limit, they need to be charged. we have a 3rd party software that has this functionality, but its not working efficiently. so we want to xplore and see if a similar functionality exists in SAP.

Thanks

Hi Ravi,

I used this kind of scenario for tracking material.

Every employee consume material against work order. so used Person respons. field for tracking purpose.

Then used Tcode IW13 and put person respons. in Partners field and fetched required report.

Hope this will work on your scenario also.

Hi,

The Goods Recipient field in MIGO may be used for entering 'Employee No.'.  Tcode MB51 may be used for tracking total usage per employee.

Hi,

How many of such employess available ? If you can go ahead with above solutions is fine . However instead of employess , you plan for a cost center which is the group of that employess and issue against that cost center , you can track the costs . Also if you create an Internal order against that cost center and issue aganst that would have a budget set for that and once that budget crosses you can charge the cost center alternatively .

Create Copy of Movement type 201 and 202  to create 901 and 902.  Now go to OMJJ- Add LIFNR field in the Enjoy Field transactions and make it mandatory.

I assume your employees are mapped as Vendors.

If you have HR system in the same box- you ask your HR consultant to create custom info type where you mention material and quantity allowed. You can do that in some ztable too.

Now you goods movement BADI- and use MB_MIGO_BADI to put the validation that you need. you can restrict logic not to al;low 201 for these materials.

Dear jagdeep,

thanks for the reply. This is something that i could explore as an option. We own the HR Module but its not implemented to its full functionality. our employees are not setup as vendors in our system.

any other ideas?

thank you

Hi,

You can create vendor account group for your employees and create vendor number for each employee.

You can use subcontract process for  supplying safety supplies (ear plugs, hard hats etc) for use to employee with 541 movement type (MB1B) and track in  t.code: MMBE. Once  they consume more, you can return back supplies with 542 movement type and charge to employee for extra consumption with t.code:FB60 with employee vendor number.

Hi Ravi

Are you going to implement HR ?.. if yes then wait for employee created as vendors.. if not then you use text field in header or item level. You can also use reasons code created for movement to tell its free issue or chargeable issue ?..based on goods movement document posted in 901 with reason code says as charge able use FB60 to charge the employees.. but you still need employee as vendors to do take money from them. there must already available employee as vendor account group.
