Extending material master for different sales org/plant combination

hi ,
1 ) a material can be sold from one plant by many sales organisations. so we map this scenario in enterprise structure by the config step "assign sales org--dist channel--
plant ". (let's say sales org A and B  selling from plant 1 and also sales org A selling from plant 2)
when we have defined the above config step, then why we need to have material master extended for different combination of sales org and plant as in stpe 1 ?. we can just create one material master with one plant and sales org combination and based on config as in step one, we can sell material from any sales org from a plant  ?
2) we can extend  material master for any combination of sales org/plant .....is it also possible to extend material master to different storage locations !

There are several reasons why you should extend the materails to different sales organizations and plants.
a. The materials are normally valuated at the plant level. So, you can have different valuations at different plants.
b. You can have different quantity stored in different plants. How do you know which plant has what quantity.
c. You can have materail not to be sold from one plant, but you can have the same materail sold from the other, how do you block it? at the plant and materail combination, you can do it.
d. For different sales organizations, you may want the cost and the price to be posted to different GL accounts. You can control it at sales org level of the materail.
e. You may just want the material to be purchased but not sold, then you may not even create a sales org view for the material. But say, in future you will like to only purchase a materail from a plant and consume it for some other purpose but not sales (which u did previously), then you can block it at sales org and dbr level.
So, these are a few reasons. But there could be many. You can have a look at the fields in the material master at sales org level and plant level and you can find it for yourself howmany parameters are there to control...
Hope this helps...

  • Material group in material master for different plants

    Warm greetings Masters of Material Management
    We have one material master for three different plants example  1000, 2000 &3000 with same material group  with different valuation class
    If we change material group in plant 2000 it is reflected in 1000 & in 3000
    My question is  this the standard practice that material group changed in one plant will be reflected in other plants

  • Table name for Sales Org/Plant combination for a given material?

    Hi Experts,
    I hv to find out that, weather the given material(actually, item of a sales order) have not been extended to the Sales Organisation / Plant on the sales order? or not?
    So, in this context am looking A555 table......but, here I found 300 entries, where as MARA does hv tonns of materails!!
    (A152, A153 tables do not hv any entry).
    1 - So, am I lookimg the correct table? or is there any other good table?
    2 - Is there any alternative(like FM) to validate the given materail againmst above said condition?
    thanq

    MVKE is the best table, the Sales view displayed in MM03 is referenced from this table.
    data: t_mvke like mvke.
      SELECT *
             INTO TABLE t_mvke
             FROM mvke
             WHERE matnr = p_matnr
             AND   lvorm <> 'X'
             AND   dwerk = p_werks.
    Hope this helps, if not let us know your requirement.

  • Mass extension of material master to differnt sales area

    Hi,
    How can we extend material master to different sales area enmasse.?
    Regards
    Kantha

    A material master is not just linked to a sales area.
    you have to create sales views per sales org and distribution channel.
    there are many fields in there that need to be maintained, SAP stores this info in table KNVV
    if all data in the new sales area is equal to an existing sales area, then you can easily extend using MM17, if not, then you have to use LSMW.
    MMSC_MASS is for storage location extension, this is certainly not a transaction to create sales area data views.

  • To extend material master in condition that split valuation.

    I want to valuate the material at two different valuation class
    if the material is produced internally  and procured externally.
    So I use split valuation function.
    I created accounting view  using valuation category  at plant level and
    I extended accounting view using valuation type.
    I tried to extend material master for other plant in condition that
    I didnu2019t check batch management in purchasing view
    but I mat error message u201CIndividual batch valuation not possible hereu201D(M3184).
    To extend material master for other plant, Should I check batch management
    in purchasing view ?

    Hi,
    Select the batch management indicator on purchasing view, press F1 button and check technical details. If the field is:
    MARA-XCHPF --> batch management is active at client.
    MARC-XCHPF --> batch management is active at plant level
    Please check SAP online help on batch level:
    http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/25/2838714f7811d18a150000e816ae6e/frameset.htm
    Batch Levels
    Plant level
    The batch number is unique in connection with the plant and material.
    The batch number is only known in the plant in which it was created if the stock is transferred to another plant, the batch is unknown in the recipient plant and the system does not adopt any data. You have to recreate and specify the batch in the receiving plant; that is, the same batch number may have different specifications in several plants.
    Material level:
    The batch number is unique in all plants in connection with the material.
    The same batch number has the same meaning for the material in all plants. One batch number cannot have different specifications in different plants. During stock transfer to another plant, the specification of the batch is known in the destination plant even if the batch is placed into storage in that plant for the first time.
    Client level:
    The batch number is unique in the whole client. A batch number can only be assigned once in the client. You cannot assign the same batch number for different materials.
    The batch number is only unique at the chosen level.
    If your batch maagement is valid at client / material level you defined it once in table MARA and it is valid for all your plants - that's why you get it automatically (if this is the reason in real).

  • Extend material master data from one plant to another plant

    hi,
    how can i extend material master data from one plant to another plant.
    is there any sap standard transaction for this ie. bdc/t-code.
    thanks in advance.......
    rahul

    Hi
    If you want to extend the material form one plant to another then below are the possible options.
    1) MM01 - Use the material in the reference and fill in copy from and to then press enter to complete the extention.This is recommended only if you want to extend very less records.
    2) Use LSMW and record MM01 thru BDC recording available in LSMW and make the template in excel and convert it to .txt tab delimited format to upload more records.LSMW is the perfect tool and is used extensively in all the projects.
    3) Get the help from ABAPer to create upload program and include the BDC recording.
    There is no standard T code available in SAP becoz data mainatenance in the material master will be based on the industry.
    Hope it will help.
    Thanks/Karthik

    Hi
    Go to the access sequence where Sales org/Plant/Material are maintained as condition table.
    Now select the condition table and then click the node "Fields" on the left hand side of the screen.
    It may give a warning message that "Fields are not yet generated". Just ignore this and Enter once again.
    Do this until it takes you to a screen where you can see fields like KOMK-VKORG, KOMK-WERKS and KOMP-MATNR
    Now create the condition records and check in transaction by creating sales order. It shoudl work.
    Hope this helps.

  • Synchronizing Material Master revision level across multiple plants

    Hello,
    If an organization uses material master revision level to maintain the details of material's validity across different plants then we see a material master with different revisions in that organization. Now I  would like to understand the impact of this practice in big organizations , is it advisable to have a material master with different revisions in different plants? , if not then which is the best way to synchronize these material masters ( with different revision level ), which are already in use?
    Bets Regards,
    Avinash
    Message was edited by: Ulf Petzel

    Hello Ulf,
    Thanks for your reply, the actual issue is..
    There are two companies; both are using the same material.
    We are building a central system and synchronizing the materials from all companies.
    While synchronization, we found that revision level are different across companies.
    1.      Should we avoid using revision level in our organization?
    2.      If I can find the validity of a material with change no + material + plant, then what is the purpose
             of the revision level?
    3.     What will be the impact, if we remove the entire revision level across all companies?
    4.     In real world, across different organizations, how revision level is synchronized across companies or at least in the central system.
    Please let me know your valuable inputs.
    Thanks
