View using Material master,Vendor master and PO tables

Hello folks.
There is a requirement to create view using material master tables ( MARA,MARC,MARD,MAKT & MBEW ) , vendor master tables ( LFA1 & LFB1) and
Purchase order tables ( EKKO & EKPO tables).
I have created the attribute views for material and vendor master tables separately.Now I am thinking about the following design pattern.
1. Join the material master master attribute view to EKPO table using the inner join to create a analytic view1.
2. Join the material vendor master attribute view to EKKO table using the inner join to create a analytic view2.
3. Now create calculate view using join to combine analyticalview1 & analyticalview2.
Please suggest me the best optimize pattern and am strange to SAP HANA. Please also clarify the following doubts.
1. What is the role of system supplied default aggregation node?
2. How can I use Union node in the calculation view in the current requirement because people/documentation always suggesting using of Union than Join?
Thanks & Regards,
Suresh Kuturu

I have managed to create the Analytic view as per my requirement.. No need to use calculation view in this case..

Create Material Master using workflow (urgent)

Hello all,
We have an urgent client requirement to create material master using workflow.
Different views for the material master will be created by the relevant departments.
ex: Accouting 1, 2 will go to accounts deptt.
I have studied the workflow tutorial (20 units) on SAP help for leave of absence and have some understanding of objects, methods, bindings etc
I am however finding it very difficult to define the steps to create a workflow for material master. Are there any standard steps already defined that i can use.
Any help/inputs will be greatly appreciated.
Regards
S. Datar

Hi,
You need to speak to a workflow consultant.
You can get workflow to do many things (including creating a material master) but it takes a lot of coding and design.
For those of you who think that workflow is just used for the standard SAP workflow tasks, you have to realise that workflow is far more powerful and far more useful than many people think.
It is always referred to as "Event triggered messaging" but it is more accurate to call it "Event triggered events".
Within workflow you can chain together many different transactions and or ABAPS and so you can get it to do virtually anything you want (as long as you know how).
In this case you need the workflow to trigger an ABAP or BTCI session etc. that works through the MM01 transaction. It is relatively easy to get it to do this, but I am not technical enough to be able to help with the steps involved (sorry)

Material Master creation workflow

Hi everyone....
Last week I went on the BIT601 training course and I'm now tryinig to create my first workflow for material master creation, so please forgive my rather noobish questions. I think this must be a common workflow but I'm sure every company has a different process.
My process is as follows:
- User creates basic data view for material master in MM01.
- Workflow is triggered when material is saved.
- Work item arrives in inbox of master data enigneer who completes all material master views.
- Mail is sent to workflow initiator to inform that material is complete.
- End of workflow
I have defined the start event CREATED from business object BUS1001006 in my workflow definition. I have defined a standard task for the first step in my workflow using bus object BUS1001006 with method Create. The workflow starts correctly however ...
My question is how do I get the material number to pull through to my first step? I am assuming I need to setup some binding to pull the material number into the workflow container?
Can someone please point in the right direction.
Many thanks,
Neil

wow, thanks for the super quick reply Rob!
I figured it must be some binding I had not done.
So ... I go to my Start events in my workflow header, I see I have only the "auto-generated" binding i.e. EVTCREATOR > WFINITIAOR ....
now, I see EVTOBJECT as a possible container object from the event side of the window (left hand side) but what do I link it too? I was kinda expecting to see my business object as a possible container object in the workflow side of the screen (right hand side).
I really hope that makes sense... If I understand correctly, the idea is to link the event object to the business object container element ... but if thats the case why can't I see my business object in the workflow side of the binding window?
Many thanks for taking the time to help a noob
[edit] ... I may have partially answered my own question ... I think I need to define the properties of my business object in my workflow container element such that its is an input field? ...
I'm going home now... will carry on with this in the morning.

No Material classification view in material master.

Hello all,
I have created LSMW for material master upload . Material is getting created through this, but 'classification view' is not getting created.
But i can see the material- class assignment in CL20N.
This problem is for specific material group.
Is there any relation between material group & classification view?
Plz advice how to resolve this?.
Regards,
Satpal Mujawar

Hi,
I found more information:
Batch Input for CL20N is no longer supported.
But you can continue to use batch input with the old transaction cl20.
Please have a look at note 943559, point 2. It would be even better to
use BAPI's instead. Please consult the notes 213120 and 373824 about the
possibilities you've got.
You can find information about the relevant Bapi's in transaction BAPI via:
- Cross-Application Components
- Classification
- ObjectClassification

What is the concept of view in material master?

Hello sap gurus
Some quetions regarding Material Master
what is the concept of views in material master ?
what is determined by specifying industry sector in material master ?
To sell material which views are material are maintened in Material master?
Regards
Amit

Hi,
Material master for finished ggods is related with SD, MM & PP departments. If you carefully go through the various screens in MM record you will realize the importance of the respective fields and the department to which they belong.
1.Suppose Base unit of measure in Basic data 1 screen. The production people will keep the stock of the item using this UOM.
2. In Sales:Sales Org.1 screen we have sales unit in which we will sell the material.
3. Then we have the plant data in which we enter the delivering plant. Also the taxes are determined from the plant so we have the settings for taxes also - whether this material is fully taxable/50% tax/Tax exempted.
4. Then we have purchasing screen in which the data like the purchasing group, variable units,etc are entered. This will effect the purchasing cycle when we are procuring a material from outside. This is related to MM.
5. The we have MRP, this is related to PP as to how to manufacture the product, the MRP type, the strategy group - whether it is MTO/MTS like that.
5. Sales:Sales Org.2 screen - Here we mainatin the account assignment group which is very important as far as the generation of the accounting document is concerned. This triggers the system where to post the value in which G/L account. Accounting document is generated when we create the invoice in VF01 & save it.
6. Work scheduling - Related with the sceduling of the production as to whether underdelivery or overdelivery is allowed, the storage location
7. Quality - Here you can select for a particular finished item where where it has to be checked for quality during its journey from the raw material stage to the finished goods store as a finished item.
8. Accounting - Related to accounting, product costing, total value of the stock in hand, etc. Also related with FI & PP
So all the screens have data which effects one or more modules for the proper functioning of the system to give the optimum results.
Industry Sector:
Key that specifies the branch of industry to which the material is assigned.
Use
When you create a material master record, the industry sector you specify determines
1. which screens appear and in what order
2. which industry-specific fields appear on the individual screens
Screens for Sales:
Sales:Sales Org.1, Sales:Sales Org.2. But other screens also have data which is related to sales. You cannot just maintain the sales views and save the master. It has to be properly linked with the other modules also for the proper functioning of the system. That is why the system is called as "Enterprise Resource Planning" You have to paln the resources of your company and these resources are related with all the modules.
Reward points if solution helps.

Adding fields in costing view of material master

Hi gurus,
I need to add 4 fields in costing view of material master. I have followed the steps in SPRO, for configuring customized screen in material master.
1) Created a function group YMMCO and copied the screen 2904 from program SAPLMGD1.
2) Added 4 fields in my customized screen.
3) Created copy of 01 ( Screen reference ) to z1 in OMT3B.
Since 2904 is not there in the sequence . I changed one 0001 sequence at the end to 2904 . I also assigned my program
SAPLYMMCO to it. I can see the changed fields in data screen and subscreen.
4) Then I assigned the SSq to z1 in transaction OMT3E.
But unfortunately, when I go to MM01 to create a material , I am not able to view the fields I added in costing view.
I have checked the screen for the previous field, it shows 2904 only.
Two days back, I did the same thing in basic data view 1 , it was working properly. As per client's suggestion I put it in
costing view, it is not working . Please give me suitable suggestions.
Thanks in advance.

Current period in Accounting 1 view of Material Master

Dear Experts,
In Accounting 1 view of Material Master there is a current period, now it is 12 2009.
Is it possible to make it 11 2009, if yes how to do it.
Please help if you have solution. it is very crucial for me.
Thank you for your support.
Regards,
Zusen

Hi,
Please read the Solution part of note 487381. There is still a few things need to be carry out before you can proceed
with the initialization :
Bear in mind that the initialization of a posting period has the
following effects concerning the period stocks:
    o The initialization of the posting period to a previous or to any
       posting period may lead to the loss of the information of the
       inventory balances of the previous periods.The book value of the
       current posting period is taken as the basis also for values of
       the previous period in this case.
       If you want to continue working with this new posting period, in
       addition you should execute report Z_DEL_HIST_ENTRIES attached so
       that history entries greater or equal to the new posting period
       will be deleted.
    o If you have to briefly reset the posting period by one period
       (for example, postings must still be posted in a certain period)
       just to make a correction (and for a small number of postings),
       you should initialize the posting period back again to the old
       value so that the values of the previous period will not be lost
       (you should forbid postings when carrying out corrections).
       However, afterwards the values of the previous period or the
       history records (as of Release 4.5) of the materials posted in
       this case are inaccurate.
       You should NOT execute report Z_DEL_HIST_ENTRIES in this case.
    o However, if the posting period is generally reset again to a
       previous posting period and if postings were made during this
       time, all information on the inventory balance of the previous
       periods is lost.
       As of Release 4.5a, you should use the cited correction report
    Z_DEL_HIST_ENTRIES in order to delete history records that are
    more current than the current posting period.Otherwise, it can
    result in deviations (inconsistencies) for the update of the
    history records.
o Important! If there are open physical inventory documents that
    have status 'counted' or for which indicator 'Freeze inventory
    balance' has been set, you should reject these if they refer to a
    previous period or have been created in the former previous
    period.The inventory difference to be posted can be determined
    from the current book value of the previous period and the book
    quantity frozen in the physical inventory document (ISEG-BUCHM)
    and does not match the inventory balance of the previous period
    that is currently valid.

Significance of purchasing view in Material master

Hi,
What is the significance of purchasing view in Material master.
What could be effect if this view is not maintained?
Like for material type FERT there is no Purchasing view, but we can do procurement for FERT items.
So what is the significance of purchasing view in Material master?
Uts

Hi,
I cant Agree your statement,because for the Purchasing Activities it is mandatory that you Maintain the Purchasing view of the Material.
it Gives a error ..material not maintained by Purchasing.
Material XXXXXX not maintained by Purchasing
Message no. ME046
For Inhouse Production through Quota arrangement,it can be optional.
but for the remaining cases ,it is Mandatory.
and the Material type your are speaking is FERT.which is standard material type for Finished products.
if you are having External Procuremnt 100% sure it would be having Purchasing Tab activated .
if not so that,if it is a inhouse production.
check it in OMS2 ..for clear information

Anjanna.

Control inspection lot in QM view of material master

Hi
this is regarding the setting for control inspection in QM view of material master.
can anyone give me a prictical example of
1. 'X' An inspection lot for each purchase order item/order item
2. '1' An inspection lot for each material document and material
3. '2' An inspection lot for each material and batch
If my requirement is to create one inspection lot out of several batches made from a production order( eg, 10 batches are created, only 1st one needed for RR and UD), which one should I use?

Hi,
the concept of batch comes when there are some property changes (property in terms of business, that may be quality or something else). if you are confirming production order partially, it means there is something that changes with batches. that's why std sap does not allow to create single lot though all those batches have been created from same production order.
and henceforth, your requirement cannot be fulfilled by any config. you can try for development.

Deleting of future price in accouning 1 View from material master.

Hi,
During month end process of CKMLCP, we have done the marking activity. so that the system updated the future price for all materails under specified plants. this is valid from 31.03.2008. by this time the system was not released the price automatically even, the valuation area (plant) is activated with automatic release. when doing of production confirmations for the current period, the system is throwing error as "future price and standard price exists". when we deleting the future price manually through MM02 transaction the systm is allowing to do production confirmation.
Kindly suggest me any transaction code which deletes the future price in accounting 1 view of material master, which is updated because of marking done through CKMLCP.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply,
We tried to delete the price through CKR1 transaction. after giving of parameters of material and plant blant screen is coming.
i think CKR1 is useful for deleting of future price updated through costing run i.e., CK40N marking.
But in this case when we scrutinise, this is updated through CKMLCP transaction.
after performing of "post closing" activity through CKMLCP,
i think SAP has provided another Tab i.e., Mark Material Prices. by this time the system will mark future price at current periodic cost. and at the same time there is a provision to give date either manual date or select the radio button of beginning of following period in parameters tab.there is no provision for giving of valid date upto.
may be this is useful to update the standared cost estimate with current actual.
I am also not sure why user have given data as 31.03.2008. usually they are not suppose to do this marking, but, by mistake they have performed.
Kindly correct me if any mistake and suggest any other way which will delete the future price in accounting 1 view of material master.

How to remove any view from material master

Hello guys,
   Actually we can attach the view to material master by MM01 and also by MM50.
   Now,consider this, in my company even we sale the semifinished material along with the finished material.So we have attached the sales view to semifinished material and finished material.Now my company has decided to not to sale the semifinished material.So there is no sense in keeping the sales view in material master of semifinished material.So we want to remove the sales view from the material master of semifinished material.
     So could you guys help me out to do this?

Hi
From the config for Material type attributes you can change the views relevant to Material type means you can unselect the sales views - that will definately take care of the new materials that will be created. But for the existing one's and the data is something you need to see and investigate
I would advice you to check all the aspects in dev client and then take a decision.
Thanks
