Inventory management: posting block :  material master field

Hi,
In het material master you have a field  Physical Inventory Blocking Indicator, but when I create a counting document (MI01) with posting block. The field in the material master is still blank. How can this happen?
Best regards,
Eric.

Hi Eric,
I guess there is some inconsistency in your system,
Please refer to the SAP Note 355939 & 192571 and you might be able to fix the bug..
Note 355939
Summary
Symptom
This note is only of importance for you if you execute physical inventory functions using the R/3 System. The inconsistencies can usually be adequately eliminated using Note 192571. This note is only intended for customers who did not discover the inconsistency in the first period of the new fiscal year and who now have problems with the physical inventory indicators.
Additional key words
RMMMPERI, MMPV, physical inventory, PIINKON, MARD-KZILL, MARD-SPERR
Cause and prerequisites
See Note 192571.
Solution
To eliminate the inconsistencies, carry out the following steps in the corresponding sequence:
1. Implement the corrections from Note 192571
2. Also implement the attached correction instructions
3. Start program ZREPPI_FLAGS (from Note 192571)
4. Start program ZINVUT30 (from Note 67072)
Source code corrections
Note 192571
Summary
Symptom
Preliminary note:
This note only applies to you if you execute physical inventory functions in the R/3 System.
In the log of the period closing program running during the fiscal year change, the number of the records closed does not correspond to the actual number of records in the corresponding stock table on the database.
As a result, the physical inventory indicators were not moved from the current fiscal year to the previous year in the records that are not closed. This means that materials, for which a physical inventory was carried out in the previous year, are dealt with by the system as if a physical inventory has already been carried out in the current year.
This problem can affect materials created before the upgrade to Release 4.5.
Additional key words
RMMMPERI, MMPV, inventory, PIINKON, MARD-KZILL, MARD-SPERR
Cause and prerequisites
The problem is caused by a program error.
Solution
If you have not yet carried out the fiscal year change (for example, if you have a fiscal year variant with non-calendar fiscal year), the attached correction can correct the error.
If you do not yet use Release 4.5B with at least Hot Package 09, in the four following form routines you must implement the deletion/insertion sequence listed in the attachment only once. Do not implement them twice each time as described in the "Corrections" section.
- Form MARD_UPDATE_JW_DB2DB4
- Form MCHB_UPDATE_JW_DB2DB4
- Form MSKA_UPDATE_JW_DB2DB4
- Form MSKU_UPDATE_JW_DB2DB4
Caution: Implement the corrections WITHOUT comment lines or added comments !!!
Comments between EXEC SQL and ENDEXEC can lead to the 'DBIF_DSQL2_SQL_ERROR' at the fiscal year change.
If you carried out the fiscal year change in Release 4.5 or 4.6A and use R/3 Physical Inventory Management, you can, after implementing the attached correction in your system, repair the affected records as follows:
Run correction report ZREPPI_FLAGS.
After the execution of report ZREPPI_FLAGS, you should implement report ZINVUT30 mentioned in Note 67072 in your system and execute the report for those materials for which a physical inventory has already been executed in the current fiscal year.
If you recognize the inconsistency only in a later period, also refer to Note 355939.
Trust this helps
Regards
Merwyn

  • Mass changes of Material Master field with different values

    Hi,
    How to change a field in Material Master for more than thousand materials. I think MM17 can only be used for mass changes of materials with same values. I need to upload different values for different materials. Is there any other way to do this.
    Thanks,
    K R Vishnu Kumar

    Hi Kumar.
    I think you have to use LSMW for mass updation for Material Master fields with different values.

  • Material master fields on plant level

    Hi all,
    is it possible that i can restrict fields on plant level, like one material type one field i want mand. in one plant and optional in other plant.
    regards,
    qsm sap

    hi,
    Yes, it posible:
    go to SPRO
    Logistics - General-> Material Master->Field Selection->Define Plant-Specific Field Selection and Plant-Specific Screen Selection (OMSA)
    see the settings for the plant in field reference - you need a diferent reference to the diferent plants (group together similar plants - all the ones that you want the field to be mandetory should have the same field reference)
    now go to OMS9 or OMSR
    and set the field as mandetory for the field reference you have made in OMSA
    good luck

  • Material master Fields Mandatory

    Hi Guys,
    i want to make some field mandatory, in Sales Org view of material master, Please help me where i have to go in SPRO for such setting
    Regards,
    Ashish

    Hi Ashish,
    First go to the respective field for which it has to be made mandatory. Note down the Table name and field name.
    Go to SPRO--> Logistics General --> Material Master --> Field Selection --> Assign Fields to Field Selection Groups.
    click the position field name button and enter the table name - field name (eg MARA-TRAGR for Transportation Group). Note down the Selection Group. Then go to
    SPRO--> Logistics General --> Material Master --> Field Selection --> Maintain Field Selection for Data Screens
    Kindly mention the field selection group that has been noted earlier and press enter.
    Then in the middle Field Selection (Field Selection Group 1) can be seen select the field reference of the material type or MM01 for Create Material Master or MM02 for Change Material master as hide, display, reqd entry and Opt. entry.
    Hope it will be useful, if so mention.

  • Locking and locking material master fields

    Hi Experts
    I have a scenario where we need to lock material master field to be locked once data is maintained in the field so that its not editable for the users to change by the users, later the change should be possible for the field through an interface.
    Any inputs on how to achieve this.
    Thanks
    Vickey

    Im not sure how to get a direct solution for your scenario, but maybe you can use Authorization group to control who can access to this material instead?
    Just a thought.

  • Batch Management Indicator Required - Material Master

    Hello,
    My requirement -
    Batch management field has to be required for material Type "FERT"
    1) I created a new field selection group for the field "batch management" (MARA-XCHPF)
    2) Created a new Field Reference group with "Required" entry (OMS9)
    3) Assigned the New Field Reference to the material Type in OMS2
    The batch management Field is now a mandatory field.
    Issue is, when we try to create only the basic Data Views of a FERT material, system does not allow to save the material untill the "Batch Management Indicator" is activated (even if we are not referencing to any plant specific views of the material master.)
    We need to have the the Batch management indicator a required entry for FERT, but at the same time should be able to create material master with basic data Field only (we would be extending the plant specific views later)
    Is there a alternative method to have this setting to meet the requirements above?
    Thanks

    Hi
    I think you can check if the batch level is defined on material or client now, if yes, you may check if that can be switched to plant level. As far as I knw the basic data is for client so the field is shown on basic data view and ask to input value as you customized.
    Alternatively, I think you can use the user exit MGA00001to check the field instead of the field selection, this is called when the material master get saved, then you can write your own source code to chec if the customer filled the  field only for certain situations.
    Best Regards.

    To deactivate the Inspection Types for materials, you can use transaction QA08.
    Here use tab "Deactivate insp. type" and specify the inspection type which you want to dactivate.

  • Blocking Material Master for Workflow

    Dear colleagues,
    We are customizing creating and changing of material master workflow, i.e., screens will be generated by various people and supervisors of the initiators will be approved. For this purpose, I use Business Object BUS1001006 to serve it. But my problem is when a material master is created or changed in one of the views; I want to block that material in use of PO or whatsoever until confirmation is done by respected supervisor. Is there any field available, like in vendor master (LFA1 u2013 CONFS and LFB1 u2013 CONFS), in material master tables like MARA, MARD or etc?
    Best regards,

    Dear,
    You can very well acheive the functionality which you are expecting.
    You can block the material in MM06...here set the deletion flag....
    Now set the message as Error for Message number ME 051 in the below mentioned path:
    Spro-MM-Purchasing-Environment Data-Define Attributes of System Messages-System messages
    Now users can not create any PO with this material untill and unless you go and remove the deletion flag in MM06.

  • Material Master - Field in MM to enter NDC (National Drug Code) or similar

    Hallo Experts,
    Is there somewhere in the material master where one can enter codes for identification such as NDC - National Drug Code?
    The reason I asked this is because it is a custom requirement for some goods that are considered drugs which we trade with other companies across the border (Mostly US). This information (Coming from a field in the MM) needs to be EDI'd and hence I am in search of a field in the MM that could house this code. Its Kind of like the Harzadous material number but in our case WM is not implement. Is there a possibility?
    Will appreciate your response,
    Thanks,

  • Material Master Field Change

    Hi Experts
    I have a Field in MRP2 View MARC -> Field LGPRO (Issue Storage Location).
    I am using MRP2 view, only for this field.
    1) Is it possible I can move this Field to Plant/Storage location view ??
    2) How to restrict this setting only for particular material types.
    Regard

    You need to move the entire sub screen. If you go to SPRO->logistics General> material master>configuring material master--> define structure of data screens for each screen sequence. Say select 21 that is std ind ( short) tab pages and make a copy of that say Z1. In that if you go to MRP2 view the sub screen containing storagelocation field is with screen number 2484.
    Now if you go to Plant storage data view 1 and select dialog structure subscreens; here the screen with 0001 can be changed to 2484. However since this is related to MRP view the maintainance status needs to be changed to D from L else you will not be able to see the fields. But if you change the status to D the orginal sub screens of Plant data/storage1 will not appear.
    You will have to check  that these subscreens can be moved to Gen plant data/storage2.
    Finally you need to assing this Z1 under same node but assign screen sequences to user/material type/transaction/industry sector under that
    SREf Trans      Sref user    Sref Matl type                      Sref : industry     Ssq
    01                      *                relevant material type          *                        z1 ( the one which was created as above)
    However  material master being very critical it is advised not to make such changes and if any changes are made it has to be thoroughly tested for the impact.
