Issue with Automatic Deduction for Semi-Finished Goods Using Movement Type 531

[ps0410]

Hello SAP Experts,

I have a scenario where we are using the same material code (let's call it "1") as both a finished product and a semi-finished product according to its specification.

Here's the situation:

• We want to automatically deduct a quantity of this material for another plant in CO15 using movement type 531.
• In the specification, we assigned a special procurement type "70" to this material. However, we cannot set this in the material master because the material code is also used as a finished product.

Example:
If we confirm 10 pieces:

• 5 pieces should be deducted for the other plant using movement type 531.
• The remaining 5 pieces should be received at the production plant.

Problem:
Currently, SAP is receiving all 10 pieces at the production plant instead of deducting 5 for the other plant.

Question:
How can we configure this process so that SAP automatically deducts the quantity sent to the other plant during goods receipt?

Thank you in advance for your help!

Hello @ps0410 ,

If I understood correctly, your requirement is following way.

You have FG & SFG in the process which are identical just like recursive BOM.

Now your expectation is that during prod order confirmation, you are expecting 5 PC to Prod Plant (currently all qty posting to this plant) and rest of 5 PC to other plant (Planning or supplying plant) using 531 movement type.

You have challenge for applying sp. procurement type -70 to this scenario?

The issue you're facing with automatic deduction for semi-finished goods using movement type 101/102 can be resolved by checking the following configurations:

1. Material Master Configuration

• Verify that the semi-finished goods material is correctly configured in the material master.

• Ensure that the material type is set to "HAWA" (Semi-Finished Goods) or a similar type that allows automatic deduction.

2. Movement Type Configuration

• Check the movement type 101/102 configuration to ensure that it's set up for automatic deduction.

• Verify that the movement type is linked to the correct valuation area and storage location.

3. Storage Location Configuration

• Ensure that the storage location for the semi-finished goods is correctly configured.

• Verify that the storage location is linked to the correct valuation area.

4. Automatic Deduction Configuration

• Check the automatic deduction configuration for the semi-finished goods material.

• Ensure that the automatic deduction is activated for the movement type 101/102.

5. Check Transaction OBYC

• Verify that the transaction OBYC is correctly configured for automatic deduction.

By checking these configurations, you should be able to resolve the issue with automatic deduction for semi-finished goods using movement type 101/102.

Example Use Case:

Suppose you're working in a production planning department, and you need to automatically deduct semi-finished goods from storage when they're used in production. By following the above steps, you can ensure that the automatic deduction is correctly configured, and the semi-finished goods are accurately deducted from storage.

Additional Tips:

• Always verify the material master configuration before troubleshooting automatic deduction issues.

• Use transaction code MB51 to check the material document for any errors or inconsistencies.

• Consult the SAP documentation and knowledge base for more information on automatic deduction configuration.
