Hi,
Archiving the Material Master
Transaction SARA contains all the SAP archiving objects for all the SAP R/3 applications modules.
A D V E R T I S E M E N T
All the SAP archive functions are shown in SARA. Choose the corresponding SAP archive object, hit enter and the archive administration menu will be shown. Provided here will be an example on how to archive the SAP Material Master.
Archive a Material Master Record
When a material is no longer required in a company or plant, you can archive and delete the material master record.
You have to Flag the material master record for deletion. This is known as logical deletion.
Before a material master record can be archived and deleted, other objects (such as purchasing documents) that refer to this material must themselves be archived. You can see which objects these are and the dependencies between them in the network graphic.
If a material master record cannot be archived and deleted at a given organizational level, the reason is given in the log (for example, a purchase order exists for the material). The log also contains technical data such as the number of material master records read and the number deleted.
Some of the archive error log message :-
Costing data exists
Use in routing
Use in sales and distribution
Use in bill of material
Delivery exists
Costing data exists
Info record exists
Purchase order exists
The Archiving steps :-
Archiving object MM_MATNR for archiving material master records.
You can display the archived data, but not reload it.
To archive the material master, first goto transaction MM71.
Type in a variant name and click Maintain. (Tick the Test Mode for archive simulation).
Save the variant.
Maintain the Start date and Spool parameters and click execute.
Click Goto Job Overview to check the archive status.
To do a permanent delete, goto transaction SARA and click Delete button.
Maintain the Archive Selection, Start date and Spool parameters.
Click Test Session for testing or click execute to start the deletion program.
Click Goto Job Overview to check the delete status.
Now, if you goto MM02/MM03, you will not be able to find the record in the material master.
Thanks

So, need your guys hint

Best Regards,
Victor.

How to view archived material master

Hi,
I need to view the archived master master.
When I checked in forum I found out it can be done through tcode SARA
and object MM_MATNR. But I cant find archived material master in it.
Please guide me.
regards
sathya

Hi Sathya,
The set of files which you are getting are the archive files. All your archived materials will be contained in those files. If you know the date when the material you are looking for was archived, you can select the archive file which was created on that date. Or as Juergen mentioned, if there is a proper note for the archiving session, it will be easier to find. In case you dont know the archiving date / there is no archiving note, then you may have to run MM72 on the archive files one by one till you get your material.
Thanks,
Naveen

To archive material master, use MM71 or FI_ACCPAYB?

Hi!
We are preparing archiving on material master in our ECC6.0.
We know that FI_ACCPAYB can be used for that purpose.
However, we also are told that we can go t-code MM71 to archive material master as well.
Please inform us whether it is true? And if so, which method is better?
Thanks a lot!
P.S. Actually I notice MM_MATNR is for material master as well. So which one should we
choose among above 3 possibilities?

Hi Linda,
MM_MATNR is the correct object for archiving material master. FI_ACCPAYB is for archiving vendor master.
Please refer to the following link for documentation on archiving material master.
Link:[http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/en/8b/8e963466880c30e10000009b38f83b/frameset.htm]
Before archiving material master, you will need to archive all the documents which has reference to the material (such as purchasing documents etc)
While archiving, if any material is not eligible for archiving, you will get an error message in the archive log. Please refer to SAP Note 900537 for the meaning of the error messages.
Thanks,
Naveen

Hi Kumar,
If a purchase order, Open production order or any other Dependency exists for the material, Material master record cannot be archived and deleted at a given organizational level, the reason will be given in the log the log also contains technical data. check all dependencies for the materials and up on clearing them flag the materials for deletion first and then Archive them.

Error:storage location for material's valuation type does not exit

create physical inventory document for material , it has a error message "Storage location X105 for material 0004AA00 plant 1151 valuation type **** does not exist", MMSC is ok, so i don't know what question?

Hi Yan,
If no previous goods movements have been posted yet for the combination of the relevant material, plant, storage location and valuation type the physical inventory cannot be done.
The table MCHB is used for both batch managed materials and materials with split valuation. You can only create a physical inventory document for a material with   split valuation when both, a MARD and a MCHB segment are available.
When you create a valuation type in the material master, only the table MBEW is updated - an entry is not created in the table MCHB. This is needed however to perform a physical inventory for this material.
This MCHB segment is created when you perform a goods receipt for the material, but (like with batches) a physical inventory posting cannot   create this entry in the table.
You will need to create a material posting for these materials if you wish to create a physical inventory for them. On the other hand, please,    consider that it is not necessary to create a physical inventory for those materials which have not suffered any goods movement at all.
If you want to make a physical inventory for a material valuated separately, you have to proceed as follows:
- make a goods receipt (561)==> then the stock segment will be created
- make the reversal of the goods receipt
- make the inventory.
Hope this can help

Mauro

Material Master - Valuation Category

Dear Expert,
How to activate valuation category field in material master - tabs accounting1- so we can chose any value which propused by SAP ?
Thxs.
Rgds,
Ely

Hi,
Check no stock and PO were created for that material. It is only possible to change a material (valuation category) if no stock and PO were created. So it is not something that get changed at will. It needs to be decided on creation of material in MM01 t.code
Check this Link for details for details:
http://www.sap123.com/showthread.php?t=29
Note:
The Split Valuation settings are as follow:
1.SPRO> MM>VALN AND ACC ASSIGNMENT> SPLIT VALUATION> Acitvate Split Valuation
2.SPRO> MM>VALN AND ACC ASSIGNMENT> SPLIT VALUATION> Configure Split Valuation
Click on Golbal type: create your own valuation types as Type 1, Type 2 etc
Click on Global categories:create your own Valuation Category as Type(T) and
Activate all valuation types(Type1, Type2 ) for your category(T)
Goto MM01, enter materialu2026u2026u2026u20261st enter valuation category and save & again enter MM01 enter the Valuation type as Type 1 and maintain price for it and repeat the same for all the Types.
Follow following process to maintain the material master.
Step_>1:
Create material with T.Code. MM01 and enter all the required data in respective field. in particular go to "Accounting" view and Enter valuation category and save the material.
With this step you have maintained the Valuation category
Step_>2:
Now to maintain Valuation type go to change material T. Code MM02
Once again here you while entering Plant and storage location "Valuation type" field will come, here you enter first valuation type and go to Accounting view and Maintain relevant Valuation class. Save this data.
Once again you repeat the Step two and here you enter another valuation type and respective valuation class. With this step you have maintained the valuation type.
When you create a PO for split valuated material it will ask for valuation type and you can enter your required valuation type and save.

CRM material master valuation category

hi,
I replicated material master data from ERP to CRM. 10000016 Material has 3 valuation category in ERP. But valuation category in the financial 1 tab doesn't replicate to CRM. While I create service order with 10000016 material , how can I know which valuation category is used?
i would appreciate you help.
thanking you
Regards

Hi,
It's solved.
Unfortunately you will have to add the field in CRM as it is not
contained in standard system.
Also you add the field in CRM and then do the mapping to the same field
in R/3. You can use the data exchange BADI to do this CRM_DATAEXCHG_BADIThis is your own responsibility
however.

Material master/Output type IDOC /MATMAS

Hello ,
I want to generate Idoc(MATMAS) whenever a material is created or changed. I could do the same for ME21N/ME22N for PO with PO idoc. Would like to know whether there is output types for material master or anything else so that i can generate Idoc for my senario.
Thanks for ur time.
Jeeva.

Hi,
the configurations which we do for material master is below...we don't give any output for material master,becoz its a master data not transactional data..
        For distributing master data like material master, vendor master, customer master we have standard transaction codes that are provided by sap.
Bd10(send material master)
Bd12(send customer master)
Bd14(send vendor master)
Bd30(boms)
The order of Tcodes are:
           Bd54 (creating logical systems)
           Scc4 (assigning logical systems )
           Sm59 (rfc destination)
           We81 ( message type)
           We30 ( idoc type)
           We31 ( segment type)
           We82 (linking message type and idoc type)
           We21 (creating port)
           We20 (partner profiles)
           Bd64 (Distribution model)
           Bd10 (material master)
Ex: material master.
     Message type: matmas.
     Idoc type: matmas05.

Archiving Material Master Attachments to Opentext

Hi All,
I am new to Open text and have to send all files attached to Material Master to Opentext. If the user attach the file in MM02 the files should be stored in Opentext. Can anyone let me know how this can be achieved. Thanks..

Hello Rajesh,
You are in a wrong track getting confused with DMS. You need to use OAC0 configure the Content repository, leading application, install opentext clients and make document configurations accordingly. Please go through the documentation provided by OT.
In case of query please contact me. Close the thread if useful.

Material Master-Valuation class

Dear Friends,
Depends upon the material type valuation class value is fetched by the system......Can any1 explain how this happens?......where it is assigned?.....whrs the link?.......Thanks in advance......

Hi saravana
Following the configuration path:
IMG>Materials Management>Valuation and Account Assignment-->Split Valuation without wizard
Here we will be assigning the valuation grp to the plant and give the G/L account also
Check the t.codes .OMWD, ,OMWB where assignment is done. Because of this only the valuation class will come in our MMR ->accounting tab 1

Archiving material master - storage location

Hi experts,
I am in process of archiving storage locations of few material codes which are split valuated.
Actually material/s are extended to 3-4 storage location and one storage location has to be removed from the same.
i am using transaction code SARA with archiving object MM_MATNR and getting following error -
plant/storage location dependent batch records exist.
please suggest how to correct the error
relevant solution will suitably be rewarded please.
regards,
Pawan Khurana

I had not spoken about the tick for delete in test mode in the selection screen.
I spoke about the variants for test and production run in customizing to your archiving object.
If the variant that is saved for production run, has the tick for test run, then it just will not work.
Further you should select X Complete for Detail log and list for P_PROT_O,
This way you should get spool file that tells you more about errors or succesfull archived items.
What did you do with the box in from of "Consider batch record without deletion flag" ?
If empty, are you sure you have manually set the deletion indicator in MSC2N?
What about the other boxes in this options section?
