Defining Material types in MM01

Dear All,
I want to know how to define material types. Here client needs to bring same material under inventory and non inventory.
Example
1.100 is one material number.some times they required to bring the 100 material into stock and some of the times they want to book the material 100 in direct consumption account after taking GRIN.(no issue posting)
Now how could i define the material type for material 100.
Thanks

Hello Shobana,
If your client wants to post the same material some time as inventory material and some time non-inventory material then you need not to define any new material type, but this can be handled at transaction level.
- Create Material as normal material with MM01
1. When you want to stock this material in inventory :
Create the purchase order without any account assignment so when you receive material it will post to inventory account and you will be able to keep that as stock material
2. When you want to post this material in directly to cost account (direct consumption) :
Create the purchase order with account assignment (i.e. cost center, assets) so when you receive material it will directly post this material to cost account but not to inventory account and you will not be able to keep that as stock material
Hope this helps.
Regards
Arif Mansuri

    You have two options, either remove the assignment of number ranges in MMNR or block the user from using it via authorization.

    You have to make few configuration settings before you actually restrict at the object level. The solution is clearly discussed in the below thread:

  • Authorization object M_MATE_MAR "Material Master - Material Types" in MM01

    Hi,
    We in CPS Energy are implementing VIrsa SOD conflicts on the roles that are in place in current SAP 4.6C version. The authorization object M_MATE_MAR is used by MM01(Creation of Material Master) transaction code & used at mutiple roles. We have restricted this authorization object by Material Type Authorization Group (BEGRU)as WMS1 & given activity a 01, 02 & 03 in a role. The same authorization object is used in Common roles also for displaying that is using transaction code MM03 (Display Material) but the activity & authorization group are ''. This '' is taking precedence over the the authorization object given in the other role.
    Please let us know how to put a control on this authorization object which is used widely by large number of users.
    Maintained Material Master: Material Types                              T-D119010802
    Activity                       01, 02, 03                                             ACTVT
    Authorization group          WMS1                                              BEGRU
    Any help is really appreciated
    Thanks
    Sree

    Hi Sree, your role with MM03 in it should not have * for actvt if it is only a display role.
    As it is a display role actvt 03 would be more suitable.  That way you could have display for all auth groups, but create and change/MM01&2 would be restricted to WMS1 (and any other materials with a blank auth group)

  • Restricting the material types in MM01

    Dear experts,
    Our client is using few materila types like-HIBE,NLAG,ROH
    We have upgraded from 4.6B to ECC6. Now many other material types have come .
    While creating material in MM01,selecting the required material type among the many is inconvient.
    1)One way of removing the unnecessary mat types is deleting others in OMS2,
    The other way of restricting is --
    2) I can enter the authorisation group in OMS2 for the required material types and i can assign to M_MATE_MAR object in the required role, but it is not working
    Do i need to create authorisation group in any customisation for entering in the OMS2, because what i entered in OMS2 is not displaying in PFCG of the authorisation object under authorisation group.I have checked in SM30 also ,the same authorisation groups under T134 table are updated. Even though,mat types are not restricted in MM01 under material type field.
    Please suggest any other way of restricting the display of material types in Material type field of MM01 instead of deleting unwanted the material types in OMS2 transaction
    Regards,
    Dayanand

    You can use the material type specific transactionsminstead of MM01, remove the authorizations of MM01 transaction and add the required material type creation transactions
    example - Goor Matreials create(special)
    HIBE,NLAG,ROH
    MMB1                 Create Semifinished Product(HALB)
    MMF1                 Create Finished Product(FERT)

  • Hide material Type in MM01

    Dear Experts ,

    How can i hide the irrelevant material types from being displayed in MM01 screen?

    Anis

    Hi Anis,
    As u only want to use 8 Matl Types specifically required,
    then as said by all gurus u can either not assign Number range to them the remaining or else
    U can block the MM01 and use Material type specific T Codes ie ,
    MMR1 - Raw Material
    MMB1 - Semi-Finished Product
    MMF1 - Finished Product
    MMI1 - Operating Supplies
    MMH1 - Trading Goods
    MMU1 - Non-Valuated Material
    MMN1 - Non-Stock Material
    MMV1 - Packaging
    MML1 - Empties
    MMS1 - Service(s)
    MMK1 - Configurable Material
    MMP1 - Maintenance Assembly
    MMW1 - Competitor Product
    MMG1 - Returnable Packaging

  • Problems with reference field in material type

    Hi,
    I have problem with field reference in material type creation.
    When I define a self-defined field reference ZERS (copy of standard field reference HERS) for a own defined material type ZERS (copy of material type HERS), I get the following error message:
    Field reference ZERS has not been set up
    Message no. CZ127
    Diagnosis
    You have specified a field reference that has not been set up.
    Procedure
    Set up the new field reference or use an already existing field reference.
    I do not understand why because the entry ZERS is present in table T130A.
    Here is the IMG config I have made:
    1. Logistics general->Material Master->Field selection->Maintain field selection for Data Screens (here I made copy of field reference HERS and named it ZERS)
    2. Logistics general->Material Master->Basic Settings->Material types->Define attributes of Material types (here I made a copy of material type HERS and named it ZERS. I then tried to set the field T134-FLREF "Field reference" to ZERS, but then the error message appears)
    Does anyone know what config I am missing?
    Or any reason why the error message CZ127 is coming up?
    Thanks

    Must have been system error, I deleted all entries and did it all over again, it worked.

  • AUTHORISATION ISSUE : MATERIAL TYPE OBJECT (M_MATE_MAR) NOT CHECKED IN MM01

    Hi Gurus,
    I created a role with t-code MM01 (Material Master Creation).
    I would like to restrict the Material type to HALB alone (Object=M_MATE_MAR, Value =HALB)
    when I assigned this role alone to an user.the object is not getting checked and its allowing the user to create other than the specified material type.
    Can u guide me how to proceed further.

    Hello Vijaya,
    I got it probably. First of all the check in  M_MATE_MAR is not for material type but instead is for authorization group. This is what standard documentation says:
    Definition
    Material type authorization for material master records
    This object determines whether a user is authorized to maintain the material master record for a specific material type.
    Defined Fields
    Fields Possible values  Meaning
    ACTVT 01  User may create data.
    02  User may change data.
    03  User may display data.
    06  User may flag data for deletion.
    BEGRU   Here you must specify the
       authorization groups from table
       T134 for which the materials
       concerned may be processed.
    Regards.
    Ruchit.

    Vinith,
    I have explained in great detail exactly what you need to do at every stage.  The steps I have outlined are the same that I follow every time that I want to apply material type restrictions. 
    I strongly recommend that you contact your security admin to help with this, alternatively engage the services of a trained/experienced security admin who can come on site and go through this with you. 
    If you have done the following then it will work:
    1. Assign auth group to material type via OMS2
    2. Verified that check for M_MATE_MAR is active
    3. Ensured that M_MATE_MAR does not contain the auth group/s which you assigned via OMS2 (that includes *)
    This is the last comment I will make on this topic.
    Cheers
