Hi!

Client has requested VAS process to be configured, I have reviewed another implementation in DEV and discovered there are 4 movement types at IM level and WM level 861, 862, 863 and 864. These movements are used in VAS configuration.

Do I need to create new movement types for VAS process?

Are this 8** movement types, standard?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hello,

first of all 86* movementtypes are not standard.

You can see it if you look in the customizing into the preconfigured movementtypes for warehouse 001.

Second, I'd like to know what process you are doing on VAS?

Can you explain it a little bit?

Best regards

Hi,

I would like to know in which system you are using VAS functionality.

Is it ECC 6.0 or EWM 5.0 (SCM 5.0)

Thanks

Hello Uwe:

I had to copy the preconfigured warehouse number 001 to another called STD, because my client requested the number 001 as the first of the 14 warehouses he wants to be implemented.

At WM level, there are the following 8* movement types....

STD 801 GR production via WM

STD 802 Cancel.GR prod.via WM

STD 811 Decrease differences

STD 812 Increase differences

STD 813 Pass on positive acc.data

STD 814 Pass on negative acc.data

STD 850 Removal 2-step picking

STD 999 Warehouse supervision

But didn't find 861 - 864, so, what I did, was to create them for warehouse number 006 (this is the only warehouse where VAS is going to be implemented).

In the system where I'm reviewing the VAS process, they have the next WM level movement types...

101 801 GR Production via WM

101 802 Cancel.GR Prod.via WM

101 811 Decrease Differences

101 812 Increase Differences

101 813 Pass on Positive Acc.Data

101 814 Pass on Negative Acc.Data

101 850 Removal 2-step Picking

101 861 GI to delivery in VAS

101 862 VAS internal moves

101 863 From VAS to stock

101 944 PostChg: Blkd Stck WM/IM

The VAS is going to be used to cover the process where they create kits. They take 4 specific products from the warehouse, pack them together and send the package to the client. They have a different part number for this kit created.

As this is an almost manual process done by today, they discount the components through an inventory document and create the new product (the kit) through another inventory document.

As this is not a production company, we are not implementing any PP process, that's why the standard kit process is not taken in consideration.

I was told that VAS process would be useful to cover this gap.

The system release is SAP ECC 6.0

Please let me know if this is correct.

Thanks for your help.

Hi:

The system is ECC 6.0 and is planned to cover a kit process, where the client takes 4 components, package them together and create a new item...

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hello,

I would like to come back to you on the VAS Process.

I had exactly the same at a customer in Germany a month ago.

We had discussed exactly the two options you described and did it with a little PP customizing. I needed two days to set it up properly and it works fine. Even the FI department is happy.

The disadvantage with the various MM bookings are

- You have to book out material in very large amounts

- You book in kits without reference to anything

- You have to perform some FI bookings because you need the costs for

the “raw materials” on certain accounts.

- You do have any reservations in the system, so you must book out the

components or block the components that they are not grabbed by

normal SO’s.

- Your SO’s get no confirmation for the kits, because they do not will

appear in MD04

- And so on and so on.

If I where you I would suggest the PP solution because of transparency and stock accuracy.

Best regards

Hello,

I have found another Solution

See below!

Assume that you have 2 Materials thet you need to pack in to a 3rd Finish Good. (FG)

Create a BOM in CS01 for 3rd FG. Usage must be either Production or Universal.

Release the bom in its header. Status Released for Production!!

Now, setup a Subcontracting PO for the 3rd finished product. Create a Vendor for your own company. Setup service charges to repack. Ignore if you don't want.

(Free Item should be selected in PO if you don't want processing fee to be shown)

Process component supply (2 little FGs) via 541 mvt type to S/C vendor

Process gR in MIGO for the finished product using the subcontracting PO.

Financials will go perfectly

FG stock and value increases for 3rd FG

First 2 FGs will reduce stock and total value from inventory.

3rd FG is available in the plant ready to sell.

process your Sales order as you wish.

This option can be easily implemented with out the use of PP/PI module. Costing goes perfectly in this as well. This is most preferred in a case where you get repacking done in copackers (vendors) or 3rd party vendor sites. We do this extensively. Of course, the second option is also used in our own plants when we manufacture.

To be honest I have found it in the MM Forum.

But if it fit's your need, you can contribute me some points for research )

Best regards
