Setup Sales Views and Prices
Since the NRG-C bar is going to be sold on a make-to-order basis, we need to set up the sales data first before we can produce NRG-C bars. The MRP strategy we set for the NRG-C bars, Strategy 40, supports both make-to-order and make-to-stock production. With strategy 40, production orders will be created to match any planned independent requirements (basically demand forecasts). Customer orders “consume” the planned independent requirements. If customer orders exceed the planned independent requirements, then planned orders will be created to meet the excess demand. Thus, strategy 40 can function like a make-to-stock or make-to-order strategy.
To use strategy 40 in the make-to-order mode, we first have to be able to create orders. To do this, we need to be able to sell the NRG-C bar, which means we need to create Sales Views in the material master and then set material prices.
1. Create Sales views for Finished Products
To create the sales views for the NRG-C bar, follow the menu path:
Logistics Sales and Distribution Master Data Products Material Other Material Create
which will call up the following screen:
Enter ##F120 for material, select Retail for Industry Sector and Finished products for Material Type, then click on Select view(s). This will call up the following pop-up window:
Select the following material master views:
Sales org. 1 View
Sales org. 2 View
Sales General/plant View
then click on the enter icon (), which will produce the following pop-up window:
Enter ##PT for Plant, ##FSfor Sales Organization and DIfor Distribution Channel, then click on the enter icon (). This will produce the following screen:
Enter 0 for each Tax category on the Sales: Sales org. 1 view, then click on the Sales: Sales org. 2view
Enter 1 for Matl. Statistics grp, then click on the Sales: general/plan view:
Enter Trans. grp.0001 (on pallets, used for route determination) and Loading Grp.FORK (forklift, used for shipping point determination) then click on the save icon ().
Repeat this process for the WH (Wholesale) Distribution Channel.
2. Create material prices
This step creates the default material pricefor the new NRG-C bar without any considerations or discounts. Different default prices can be defined for a material for each Sales Organization and Distribution Channel. To do this, follow the menu path:
Logistics Sales and distribution Master data Conditions Select Using Condition TypeCreate
which will produce the following screen:
Enter Condition type PR00 (default material price) then click on the enter icon (). This will produce the following pop-up window:
select Material with release status then click on the enter icon(). This will produce the following screen:
Enter ##FS for Sales Organization, DI for Distribution Channel, ##F120 for Material, 315 for Amount and USD for Unit, then click on the save icon (). This will save the material price (condition) and leave the user with a blank screen:
Change the Distribution Channel to WH, then enter the following information:
Material / Amount / UNIT##F120 / 305 / USD
Then click on the save icon () to save the price. Click on the exit icon () to return to the SAP Easy Access screen.
