hi

Item proposals are used when certain materials are ordered. An item proposal is a list of materialsand order quantities that can be copied into the sales order. Items can also be selected from a list andcopied into a sales order.

Menu Path

The path is as follows: Logistics, Sales and distribution, Master data, Products, Item proposal,

Create.

Now the document type is created we need to follow these steps:

Go to [VA51] and create the proposal.

Go to [VD02] and change the customer master record to include the proposal you created in the

sales view. Then enter the proposal number.

Go to [VA01] and create your sales order. Select Edit, Propose items.

You can select Propose default, with or without a quantity, and offer a selection list.

After completing the section, you will have completed the settings relevant to creating and

utilizing a product proposal document type.

Material Listing and Exclusion

Material listing and exclusion is used in order to list the products or services specific customers may

or may not purchase. For example, you may list products that a specific customer may not buy or

conversely you may list only the products that the customer can select. Material listing and exclusion

uses the condition technique to determine its values and procedures.

Menu Path

The menu path for material listing and exclusion is as follows: IMG, Sales and distribution, Basic

functions, Listing/exclusion.

Since material listing and exclusion uses the condition technique, in order to determine the

procedure it uses, we will use the configuration procedure of the previous section, that is

Put the fields you will need into the field catalog. 1.

Create the condition tables you will need. 2.

Create the access sequence you will need. 3.

Assign the condition tables to the access sequence. 4.

Create the condition types. 5.

Assign the access sequence to the condition types. 6.

Create the determination procedure (if necessary) and assign the condition types to it. 7.

Assign the determination procedure. 8.

Lastly, create your condition records. 9.

Here we will discuss these steps in more detail.

Put the fields you will need into the field catalog. Then go to Maintain allowed fields for

listing/exclusion and add any additional fields you will need for the condition tables you are

planning to create. You can do this by selecting the button “New entries.” Press F4 and you

will have a list of fields per table to add to the field catalog. As an example, you can doubleclick

on the entry you wish to add to the list of available fields (see Figure 3-17).

1.

Create the condition tables you will need. Go to Maintain condition tables for listing/exclusion

and create the condition table you will be using in the access sequence, such as condition table

001. Condition

Material listing and exclusion lets you control which materials specific customers may or may not buy. For example, if you create a material listing for a specific customer, the customer can only order products from that list. You can also create a master record for material exclusion for a particular customer. Then the customer can not order excluded materials from you.

An item proposal, containing the materials a customer usually orders, can be assigned to that customer, for example. When using item proposals in the sales document, this item proposal is then proposed for selection.

Hello,

<b>Item proposal / product proposal</b>

1. Item proposal is a list of materials with quantities that can be copied into a sales order.

2. Item proposal in a sales order is triggered by the customer number (unlike the item in cross selling which is triggered by the material number)

3. transaction code – VA51 (logistics – sales and distribution – master data – products – item proposal)

4. to configure – VOV8 ( IMG – sales and distribution – master data – item proposal – define item proposals {document type MS})

5. Item proposal is treated as a sales document (MS).

6. To activate the item proposal………item proposal number from VA51 has to be set in CMR (sales view).

7. VA55 – list of item proposals.

<b>Material Listing & Exclusion</b>

1. Material listing and exclusion is used in order to list the products or services for specific customers may or may not want to purchase. For example, you may only list products that a specific customer may not want to purchase or conversely you may list only those items that the customer is interested in buying.

2. Material listing and exclusion uses the condition technique to determine its values and procedure.

3. The main purpose of this basic function in SAP is to either list or exclude the items that are relevant for a specific customer. For example, a company in a pharmacy business can make a list or exclude materials for a specific customer who does not have cold storage facility to store certain pharmaceuticals, which can only be stored in cold storages.

4. For customising – IMG – Sales & Distribution – basic functions – material listing & exclusion. To create condition records – (VB01) Sales & Distribution – maser data – products – listing & exclusion – create.

Item proposal is just to propose most frequently supplied item to customer while creating sales order .

But the Material listing is the material a customer can buy if it is mainted in the list.If the material is not there in the list system wil not allow to do so.

This listing is related to exclusion .

first system check whether the material is there in exclusion list if the material is not there then it will check in material list .

And if no data is maintained in listing and exclusion the customer can buy any material in his sales area.

<b>Item Proposal:</b>

A grouping of material combinations and quantities frequently ordered.

When entering a sales order, the user can refer to and copy information from a product proposal, or the system proposes items established in the product proposal for a customer.

<u>Proposal is something that will list frequently bought materials by this particular customer.</u>

<b>Material Listing:</b>

A restriction that controls the sale of specific materials to a customer.

Customers can only buy materials included in the material listing assigned to them. The system does not allow you to enter materials that are not included in the material listing in a sales document for a customer.

<u>Listing will make sure that customer buys only the products that are listed and is not allowed to buy any not-listed products.</u>
