Features

Enhancements to the Stock Display

In the stock display (transaction /CMW/STOCK), you can display fixed storage bins of a material. In addition, from the stock display you can display additional information for a material (for example, reservations, current stock/requirements list, stock in transit, production orders).

Material Master BAPI

Using BAPIs StandardMaterial_CWM.SaveData and StandardMaterial_CWM.Savereplica, you can transfer CWM-specific material master data to the material master record of a CWM material in addition to the standard material master data.

Mass Change: Material Master Records including CWM fields

You can edit CWM-specific fields for mass changes to material master data.

Creation of Project Structures for SD Items

You can create items in a sales order that result in the generation of a project structure in the project system (PS). The project structures you create in this way can be used for managing dates, for example.

If sales order items are linked to a project structure, you cannot use any deliveries for these sales order items. Neither can you use the project structures created this way for further functions (for example, management of project stock or cancelling production orders or process orders).

Enhancements to GR/IR Clearing

For an appropriate goods movement or invoice receipt, you can trigger the GR/IR clearing by a selection-based derivation of the posting date automatically. The posting date for the GR/IR clearing (FAIP04) or for the background processing reports is now defined based on the documents that are cleared, and no longer by manual entry. If the posting date falls in a previous period, additional postings are automatically generated for the carry forward up to the current period.

You can choose transaction-based GR/IR clearing as an alternative to periodic execution, and execute it after a business transaction relevant for the clearing.

If GR/IR clearing is called manually (transaction FAIP04), the posting is made with the posting date of the latest invoice received or account maintenance. If this falls in a previous period, additional postings are automatically generated for the carry forward up to the current period.

Dynamic Price Release

Using dynamic price release, you can change the prices of your CWM inventory depending on the inventory situation. For each valuation class, you can define that a price you specified is released as the valuation price for the first goods movement as soon as the validity date of the price you specified has been reached. Updating the inventory price changes the valuation of the inventory automatically.

Revaluation of Cost of Sales

You have the option of revaluating the cost of sales in Financial Accounting, Profit Center Accounting and Costing-Based Profitability Analysis later.
