Here is the Process of Manufacturer Part Profile :

Create External No ranges for Vendor Account Group MNFR and save.

Now Create Each Make / Manufacturer like ABB as one Vendor in XK01 Trxn code.

Create Material Code original say XXXX in MM01 with ROH material type. (for eg Transistor which is available with ABB & Seimens make)

Create material code for ABB make say 11with Material type HERS which contain only two views (Basic Data & Purchasing) and give Make, Original material No & Material group and other details and save.

Create material code for Seimens make say 12with Material type HERS which contain only two views (Basic Data & Purchasing) and give Make, Original material No & Material group and other details and save.

Create a Purchase order with original Material XXXX, then it will ask for mnfg part profile then select the material and click F4 on it it will show you the created mfg part nos like ABB 11 & seimes 12 and select one and save.

Prerequisite is you have to Activate Mfg part profile in OMPN trxn code

And in Material master Purchasing View Select the mfg part profile and save

Even if you set the Mfg part number in Display mode in SPRO settings system will throw the same error.

Now What can be done is :

Either go to ME21N and Select material tab after inputting and press f4 and select Manufacturer part number options then system will showe the list of mfg part number maintained to that material select the desired and save.

Else go to MM02 Purchasing View and in Mfg part Profile tab there must be a four charecter profile assigned to field Remove this and save.

The Second option is not a good practice.

Hi,

If I understand your requirement correctly,

You want to procure two material by name bearing003 made one by tata & other by SKF .

Here create two materials one as bearing003 tata & bearing SKF.

Active split valuation based on the external procurement like Tata & SKF.

Hi George,

You can create the material & use Batch management for such materials. This would allow you to seggregate the receipts, stocks and dispatches based on the batches.

This would allow you to use the common material code, but keep a track of both the suppliers.

Hope this resolves your issue. Pls respond in case of any further detail and award points for correct answers........

For making it simple.

Create 2 different material and in materila description give as BERING03 OF TATA MAKE & SKF MAKE

I also faced same problem in my project...(BERING03 -- original & duplicate) due to change in price and other criteria... insted of making it complicated..I had created 2 material and serch by materila description if you required for procurement.

Hi,

Please create material code for BERING03 and maintain two batches, 1 for TATA and other for SKF.

Thus, by using batch management, your problem may be solved

I think You are refering to the split valuation.

Split valuation will help you in this regards

Read SAp Hel for split valuation.

Batch management or serial number profile will help you
