*Q: *We have defined all the variables for the materials. However, when I attempt to use Material Matchcode object MAT1, I get the response "No possible entries found". Why?
*A:* Matchcode i.d. "B", "Material by bill of material" has a selection condition for field STLNR NE ' '. STLNR is the BOM number associated with a material in table MAST. Hence the message - "no possible entries..." pops up if there are no bills of materials associated with your material numbers.
You get the matchcodes as long as the material referred by you has BOM number associated with it.
*Q: *The matchcode object selection is defaulted to matctcode ID "B". Iwould like to change to M "Material by Description" What is the solution?
*A: *Press the pull down arrow on the material number field and matchcode "B" is displayed, press F5 double-click matchcode i.d. "M", then press F6 . This will set matchcode "M" as the default.
*Q:* We have one material master : X and the unit of measure is 'pcs' and two serial number : A,B
For this material we make two Pos
First PO calls material X , 1 pcs price 100 (will use serial number A)
Second PO calls material X , 1 pcs price 250 (will use serial number B)
Goods Receipt is done and by filling serial number for the fist PO with A and the second PO with B.
We want to transfer material X serial number A to another plant and want the valuation of this material as 100. How we can do it ?
*A:* Use "split valuation". Stocks may be received into separate storage locations. Transfer stocks may be done from a storage location/plant to another storage location/plant.
*Q:* We want to change the calculation of Moving Average Price. We know that the same is in MBEW-VERPR and two transactions to consider - MRHR, MB01. Is there a transaction to change MAV or all the places it is needed?
*A:* Any Goods receipt or issue (in case of split valuated material) changes Moving Average price depending upon the valuation type which is used when posting the goods issue. You have to go through all the transactions involving those!
For Example:
Material X is using split valuation by origin:
Malaysia : MAV 60 USD - total stock 100 units
India: MAV 50 USD - total stock 200 units
Total stock 300 units MAV 53.33
Here , goods issues will also affect the global MAV, despite not changing MAV from origin country.
