Changing material type for material with history

We needed to change the material type for an existing item with purchasing, inventory and sales history from HAWA to UNBW. We are trying to PGI the first receipt since the change, and are receiving an Account Determination error .
When I look at the material master set-up, I still see records in the MBEW table. UNBW items that are set-up that way from scratch do not have any records in this table. Is this what is driving my error?
I'm guessing that if it is not, there will be some discrepancy between the material, vendor, and capital asset order.
Any insight is appreciated.

even UNBW can have accounting views.
The problem is probably that you just changed the material type and did not change the valuation class in the accounting view accordingly. remove it, and try again.

Material Type for Material Determination

Hi Expert,
Is there any spesific/standard material master type for material determination on SD ?
Thanks,
IB

Is there any standard material type for 'Material Entered'
Normal salable materials would be created with HALB or FERT and this is in no way related to material determination. In fact, as everybody asked, if you can explain the business as to why you are comparing material type with material determination, may be you will get the right direction.

Message Type for Material Master Data Changes

Hi all
I'm managing Message Types for Material Master Data extraction from R\3 system to BW system, in order to load on BW only the changes done to some fields of MARA table that are delta relevant.
Now from R/3 BD50 Transaction I can see that there is a message type that refer to changes done on MARA fields: RS0044.
I would like to replace this message type with another one (RS0020) in order to align different systems.
Now changes to material master data in R/3 system are recorder with both message types but only those with RS0044 message type are processed and loaded into BW system.
So I would like to know:
1. How is the message type related to the DataSource 0material?
2. is it possible to replace a message type for BW?
3. if yes, how can I do it?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Oscar!
At the moment I'm using Delta queue of 0MATERIAL. I know that in the queue there are all the new and changed records.
But I would like to be able not to load all the changed records, but only those that refer to some fields of MARA table.
E.g. if the gross weight of a material is modified I don't want to load this change on BW with Delta loading .
I've seen that from R/3 Transaction BD52 you can set only delta relevant fields referred to a specific message type and to delete the other fields.
As I'm able to do this directly in the Development system and Test System, I haven't got the authorization of doing it in the Production system.
That's why I need to include this setting in a CR and then ask to transport it from Test to Production system.
But message types referred to MARA field changes are different between the two systems.
And it seems they are automatically created.
Is it true?
Thanks
Elisa

This may be little tough for 10000 sales orders.
1. You have to remove the output record for the irrelevant output record using tcode VV12 for the relevant document type. So now for the document type, the old output wont be triggered.
2. Now, create output records for hte correct output type in VV11 tcode(for the output type BA03) for the document type. Now this output will be triggered for all the document types you are creating from now onwards.
3. To trigger the output type BA03, in all the old orders, you just have to open these sales orders in change mode (VA02), and just save it. When u open it the output type BA03 will be automatically triggered as the master data is maintained in VV11. But because just opening all the 10000 sales orders in VA02 one by one be a mechanical task, you have to think of some tool for this.
May be a CATT procedure can do the trick. Else, you can just create a small program, where you can upload these sales orders and the program will just open these orders in change mode and just saves it (without making any changes). Then the output will be retriggered.
Here again, if you are printing the output directly, it is advisable to trigger the output in batch mode(Date/Time field is 1 in VV11), and then you can again trigger the printing again using the program RSNAST00 after office hours for these 10k orders.
I hope I answered ur query.
Pls lemme know if you need some more info. (You can reward me too...)

Movement Types for Material Reservations

Dear All
I have defined New package for defining new movements types for material reservation in PM order. this activity is carried out at following path.
SPRO> Plant Maintenance and Customer Service>Maintenance and Service Processing--> Maintenance and Service Orders >General Data>Define Movement Types for Material Reservations.
This has been carried out as i want to take the material in using 904 movement as reversal of 261.
Can any body tell me where can I assign tghis package to Order/order types?
Regards

hi
In the standard system, movement types are preset which you must not change.
For the components, Plant Maintenance and Customer Service, the entry with the key 'IWO1' is relevant. In addition, you only need the two entries for the goods issue (GI) of materials for maintenance orders and the accompanying reverse operation (GI cancellation).
as of my knowledge we don't have the option to go with ordertype wise settings

For case A, create insp plan with usage "1- production" If you have one IP with this usage for given material then system will assign Plan to lot automatically. In your case for second plan update usage as 1.
For case B, system should assign 1st plan make sure for both plan udage is correct. for 1st plan usage should be 5 while 2nd plan usage should be 1. Now if your 1st have status 4 and key date before lot date then system will assign plan auto.

Urgent:Material Type for Packaging Material in WM and MM

Hi
There is a place in SPRO where i can define the material type for packaging.
Logistics - General -> Handling Unit Management -> Basics -> Define Packaging Material Types
How can i create a material using this material type? What is the use of material type here?
Whenever i create material in MM01/MM41, i get the standard material type list.
Thanks & REgards
Kapil

Hi,
In T.code: OMS2, you can get standard material type list.VERP is the standard material type for packing material.You can copy VERP and rename to ur material type( as it is ur business requriement or else u can use same VERP)
What is the use of material type here?
With the help of ur Material Type , u can craete material like The material type,will be used while defining the material
master.At that time,in Tcode:MM01,first screen we need to
mention,(material type)it show the nature of material
ex:-engineering product,finished products,semifinished
product,etc.,
It also play vital role on material numbering,material type in comination with plant & valuation class, play vital role in inventory & accoputning.
To Create Material,use t. Code: MM01,
Step-1
Enter Material Code: ( example-Polythene Bag, If External Number Range or leave it blnak)
Enter Industry Sector: ...................
Enter Material Type: ..........................(VERP- Packing)
Step-2
Select
Views you required( like eample:basic data-1, like basic data-2,purachsing, purchase order text,General plant data, accounting-1, accounting-2 etc)
Step-3
Enter Plant,
Enter Storage location
{{{Enter Sales organization & Distribution channel(if sales view selected)}}}
Step-4
You will have views like (example-1, basic data, enter Base unit of measure, material group and other details as required field,example-2,Accounting data, enter valuation class, price control; S or V & price)
Step-5
Save.
Note: Before creation material you must know which Industry Sector, Material Type ur going to use and material numbering is internal or external.

Item Category and MRP type for material is not allowed

Hello all,
I got a Error Message:
Transaction Z113 is not defined (Message no. V1347)
Diagnosis
This combination of item category Z113 and MRP type for material is not allowed.
System response
The system does not allow further processing of this item.
Procedure
Check your entry.
You can display the combination defined in table TVEPZ, which controls scheduling line category determination, and change it as required if you have the authorization to do so. The MRP type for the material may be changed in the material master.
The SD Configuration seems all right, I have:
Sls Doc Type (VOV8) ZA9 (no delivery type assigned)
Item Category (VOV7) Z113
Assigs Sls Doc & Item Ctgry (VOV4) ZA9/ZNOR/blank/blanl/Z113
ZNOR = Std Item-Av. chck Del
ZNOR defined in MM03/Sls Org 2
Define Schedule Line (VOV6) = Z7 (without delivery)
Z7 has FLAG on Prod Allocation
Assign Schedule Line (VOV5) = Z113/ND/Z7
At table: TVEPZ
I have the entry: Z113/ND/Z7
Guys, what would?
Please help me out because I am stuck in this issue.
Thanks a lot,
Barbara

Barbara, this may be tied to Strategy Group on the Material Master (I can't read enough into the detail)
Item Category determination + MRP Type for your schedule line type ties to a Sched. Line category(this you know)
New Rqmts class gets tied to a Rqmts Type
New Rqmts Type gets assigned to rqmts class
Strategy, assign the Rqmts Type to it
Strategy Group, Assign the Strategy to it
MM02 [MRP3 view] strategy group should be the one that ties together (all the other ties
It may be something in this area that you need to trace through ?

Material type for Vendors Returnable packaging material

Dear all,
I have a scenario where in i am recieving co2 gas from my vendor against a PO.
He is supplying it with cylinders i want to keep track of the cylinders and afetr using the gas want to return the cylinder to vendor.
Now the doubt arises, under which material type should I create this cylinder.
Doubt 1
I thougt of creating under the material type : LEIH, but this material type also contains the purchasing, accounting, sales view and same time in the config of the material type LEIH, value updating is not ticked, which is making me confuse.
Doubt 2
What I felt is, LEIH should be used for the our owns company returnable packaging material , which will go to the customer , but again for this also, these material should be valuated, since they belongs to our own stock , so why in standard SAP, value updation is not there.
Doubt 3
Keeping above 2 points in mind, what should be material type for vendor's returnable packaging material , where I want only qty tracking.
Regards
Nitin

You can copy LEIH and create your own Materia Type say ZLEI. For this material type you can have only General Plant / Storage Data1 view enabled.
Remember, there are 2 materials here:
1. Gas
2. Returnable packaging (cylinder)
You can receive gas on unit basis if you dont want exact tracking (ie in KG). Use any procurement material type.
When you create the PO only mainitan Gas as the material.
When you do the goods receipt against this PO, Click on RTP button, this will create a new line item, automatically and will suggest movement type 501+M. Here enter the no. of cylinders.
You will be able to track the movement of cylinders.

Multiple class types for material master classification display default.

Hello,
We are running on R/3 4.7. We use several different class types for our material masters (001 and Z01). The problem this creates is the end user having to constantly tell the system which class type to use when going to the classification screen for different materials with different class types. If a user views one material's classification page with a particular class type (001) then looks at another material with a different class type (Z01) the system tries to pull in information from the last materials class type (001). The system tells the user there are no assignments for the class (001) in the material their viewing but there is one for class type (Z01). The user then has to select the class type that applies to the material master their trying to view. Is there a way for the system to automatically see when a material has only one class type assigned to it for it to automatically default it in without the user having to specify the class type?
Thanks,
JRW

Hi,
Check the configuration, have you maintained default class type for material type.

Material type for BOM that should not create production order

Hello all,
We have following situation in our company:
We ship few products say for e.g A,B,C which are part of higer level BOM for product M1 to the customer, before the actual product M1 is shipped.Currently these ship-a-head products(A,B,C) is also part of BOM for M1.
We need to combine these ship-a-head products A,B,C as one product M2 (thinking of a BOM) and ship that M2 to customer before M1 is shipped.
In that case what could be the material type for product M2 so that MRP won't create any Production orders for M2.
Also wondering Is there any other way, other than creating a BOM that could combine products A,B and C and ship to customer a-head of time.
Thanks,
Sre

Material Type for Software

What would be an appropriate material type for sellable software? Dien? Fert? thx

A material type is nothing than a description plus some customized attributes. for one company the predefined material types work right away while others may have to tweak them to their needs.
what is a spare part ERSA for one company, may be a FERT for an other company, it depends on your business.
I am working in a chemical company, a Pipe or an ellbow is just a spare part for us. A company that manufactures pipes and ellbows has those items as FERTs, a company that builds tankfarms has these items as raw materials.
what is a software, probably a FERT for the company that developes it. But the predefined nature of a FERT is quantity and value managed. Which would make sense for software too, if the software is on a CD and the CD in carton.
For a company that buys the software - if it is so expensive like SAP software - it is probably an asset.
you said you do not store software, this means you would need to customize the FERT material type to your personal needs or create an own material type.What other views do you not need in case of software? if you dont store materials, then the MRP views can become obsolete, storage location view is certainly obsolete, WM views are not needed, work scheduling view probably not needed.
Can you manage the material only by value? to my knowledge value only materials are only possible in a retail system.
It is not really possible to give you a recommendation what material type you should use, as this is pretty much dependend to your business and local requirements.

Multiple Class Type for Material Master

Hello Everyone,
I would like to ask where in configuration can I setup Classification so that for each Material Master it can have Multiple Class Type. (such as 001 - Material Class, 023 - Batch, 300 - Variants). Because currently I can only see 023 - Batch whenever I create a new Material Master.
Thanks.
