Material Type HALB issue

[vishnuv-sri]

Hi experts,

Pls help me solve the case like, only material type HALB was used for both SF and FG inventory in the material master and continued with all subsequent business processes. This has been doing as practice for years where there is no separate GL account for FG inventory. config was made like that. Now if i want to separate my FG from SF what are the possibilities...

And How this will impact SCE run every month 

kindly help.

thanks,

Hi,

SAP best Practice is to use FERT and HALB both for respective materials. And also your requirement is not clear. Do you want to separate it by GL accounts?  If it is just by Material type just do FERT and HALB.

Hi Sanan,

Yes, I want to separate it by GL account. MMAM will be sufficient..?

our in house experts explored but not suggesting this don't know why..? But as of now our materials are used every stage from purchase order, production order and sale invoice.

and also want to understand, what are the implications in SCE run bcz of this.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Not sure what does SCE Stands for. Yes, MMAM should be enough if you first execute in Quality, system will show you the exact details where this material is still using i.e PO, SO etc and you need to close those open orders.
