No

Yes possible..with authorization..
Generally material data is maintained by respective department e.g. sales data by sales , pur. data by purchasing dept., etc.
Purchasing gr authorization can be givenrestrict  to  a user..

  • Changes in Material Master: Track by user

    Hi All
    I have an urgent issue...I want to track the changes done by a user in the material master.  Is there any standard way of doing it.  I want to know what the old values were also for the fields changed by the user.
    Tom

    Hello,
      You can use MM04 to get a drill report showing the user name,date, time stamp. Once you dril down into this, you will get the details of change.

  • Defaulting values in material master creation

    Hi,
    I want to have some filed values to be appeared as default in all the views while creation of material master.
    By user settings, I can restrict Org level values such as C Code,S Org Distribution Channel etc etc.
    But how to make field values such as account assignment grop,division,valuation class,price control,transport grp,loading grp etc appearing default so that user does not have to think.
    Regards,
    manOO

    Hi,
    You can set values for Parameter IDs of the fields that you want to default.
    Set values in system -> user profile -> own data under parameters tab.
    For example Disision's parameter id is 'SPA'. You can set a default value for division by giving proper value for SPA under parameters data in own data.
    Hope this will help.

  • Material Master Views Authorization

    Hi All,
    I'm trying to restrict some views of the material master for some users. I've read that is possible to limit these views by the maintenance status of the authorizations but itit doesn't work for me. can you help me?
    I am using "SAP_ISR_MATERIAL_DISPLAY" role in order to restrict all the views except Warehouse Managment. So, I put the maintenance status of the WM view to display and nothing else with the others. Is it wrong?
    Is there any other way to do what I want?
    Thank you very much for your help.

    Hi All,
    I have made a copy of the role SAP_ISR_MATERIAL_DISPLAY and I have changed some setting in order to hide some views of the Material Master for the user. It has worked finally but doing this the user doesn't have authorization for other Transactions Code of WM like LS24, LT*, etc... So, I guess, I have to merge some roles and/or authorizations or I have to create an own role to pack everything I want for this user. Anyway, this is another issue...
    Thank you very much for your help, your answers have been very useful.

  • How to know the extended views of a material in Material Master

    Hello SAPients.
    I need to create a report listing the views that a material has extended, something like this:
    <b>Material |Basic Data View |Sales View |Purchasing View</b>
    123456   |Yes             |No         |No
    The question is: Do you know if SAP has a table where it records the views that a material has extended?
    Thank you in advance for your help

    Hope this`ll help you ...
    Here`s FM too...

    The maintenance status records:
    Which user departments may maintain a material master record of a particular material type
    Which user departments have already maintained the material master record at a particular hierarchy level
    The overall maintenance status is made up of the individual maintenance statuses. The individual maintenance statuses have the following meaning:
    User department Maintenance status
    Work scheduling A
    Accounting B
    Classification C
    MRP D
    Purchasing E
    Production resources/tools F

    Finding Information for Extending Material Master Records Which User Departments Need to Extend a Material Master Record?
    In the Material Master menu, choose Other ® Extend material view(s).
    The initial screen appears.
    Enter the material number and choose Execute.
    An overview appears of the user departments (indicated by the maintenance status) that still need to extend the material master record.
    Select the user department(s) for which you want to enter data, and choose Maintain materials.
    The first user department screen appears, where you can enter your data.
    Save your data.
    The initial screen for maintaining material master data appears because you have not finished maintaining the material master record. To access the next screen you selected in the overview, choose Enter.
    Repeat step 4 until you have entered all the data for the material and have returned to the overview.

    You can also define other selection criteria, such as the date created, organizational levels, material type, and so on. The system selects those records that satisfy all your selection criteria. If you want the system to select those records that satisfy one of your selection criteria, set the relevant indicator.
    Choose Execute.
    An overview appears of the materials that your user department still needs to extend.
    Select the materials whose data you want to extend and choose Maintain materials.

  • Screen Level Security for the Material Master

    We need to create security for the material master by screen views. The Purchasing group needs to be able to change the Purchasing and MRP screens but none of the other screens. How would we accomplish this with SAP security?
    Thanks!

    Janet,
    It is hard for us to know how your authorization profiles or roles are constructed.  You really should consult your local authorization expert.
    The Authorization object you are looking for is M_MATE_STA.  It is probably contained in at least one of your Roles or Profiles that are currently assigned to your MM maintenance people. At a minimum, it should exist in standard SAP profile M_MATE_ALL in your system.  You can review all of these types of authorization info in the User Information System (transaction SUIM).
    You would have to create roles or profiles that narrowly define the "User department" fields for M_MATE_STA object.  You would also have to search for existing roles/profiles that contain "*" in this field, and determine if these entries are still appropriate in your new authorization business process you want to begin.
    Below is the SAP help about this authorization object
    M_MATE_STA
    Definition
    Maintenance status authorization for material master records
    The data contained in a material master record is divided into user departments or views (Purchasing, MRP, and so on). The maintenance status is a single-character key for the relevant user department or view.
    This object determines which user departments or views a user is authorized to process; that is, which data he or she may process from this view.
                                                                                    Note                                                                      
    To use material master functions, a user needs the authorization for at least one user department.
    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.                       
                         08                   User may display change documents. 
    STATM                                     Here, you specify the maintenance status for which the user is authorized.         
    The maintenance statuses possible are as follows:
    User department                Maintenance status
    Work scheduling                   A
    Accounting                        B
    Classification                    C
    MRP                               D
    Purchasing                        E
    Production resources/tools        F
    Costing                           G
    Basic data                        K
    Storage                           L
    Forecasting                       P
    Quality management                Q
    Warehouse management              S
    Sales                             V
    Plant stocks                      X
    Storage location stocks           Z
    Notes
    This authorization object also determines:
    o   Whether a user may flag a material master record for deletion. In this case, 06 must be entered in field ACTVT; the maintenance status is irrelevant here.
    o   Whether a user may change the material type. In this case, 02 must be entered in field ACTVT; the maintenance status is irrelevant here.
    o   Whether a user may process an MRP profile or forecast profile. In this case, the following values must be entered in field ACTVT:
    -   01 to create
    -   02 to change or delete
    -   03 to display
    The maintenance status must be D for the MRP profile or P for the forecast profile.
    o   Whether a user may create an overview of all extendable materials. In this case, 01 must be entered in field ACTVT; the maintenance status is irrelevant here.
    o   Whether a user may call up the materials list. In this case, 03 must be entered in field ACTVT; the maintenance status is irrelevant here.
    o   Whether a user may create or change production versions from task lists. In this case, 02 must be entered in field ACTVT, and A in field STATM.

  • Material Master Field Restriction

    Hi Team!
    is it  possible to restrict the setup of some specific field for an specific view in Material master, and let the rest of the field to be updated for the normal users that used to?
    the views that I'm talking about are the MRP1 & MRP2 at the material master,  the idea is that  no one can modify certain fields that belongs to them,
    could it be possible, pls let me know.
    regarDs!!

    Hi
    You cannot restrict the material master feilds based on the user, because the feilds in the material master are not user specific.
    It is based on the material type and also you can modify based on plant specific and industry specific.
    May be you wont give certain users for authorization for MM02 transaction ,for that you cantact the SAP security guys in your
    team,
    If you want no one can change the MRP veiws you can do in the configuration settings,T,code OMSR the table name is MARC and based on the  feild name you select the Display only, so no one can change the values.
    Thanks

  • Material master changes - approval

    Hi ,
    Is there any way that material master changes can will go to approving manager as we have MI20 used to approve stock take changes.
    Please suggest.
    thanks

    Hi,
    No. MI20 is different because it is posting a difference in costs, so this is how it can be approved.
    You should instead restrict change authorisation of material master to key users.
    Thanks.

  • Material Master User-Exit Query?

    Hi..
    I want to implement a change pointer for a material master in my system.
    Can I use the already existing message type / IDOC type or do I need to create a new IDOC type.
    And if yes, please tell me the step by step procedure in short:-)
    I was thinking of using a user-exit EXIT_SAPLMGMU_001 wherein I will fill a customised Z-Table on the basis of Plant ie. if it is my plant then I'll capture that material in my Z-table(Used a simple If-Endif)
    And later I will create a customised report to run BD10 with those materials and then I will delete all those records from my Custom report.
    But now I am facing a strange problem, that if the user changes only the basic data(first and second views in the material master screen) then , I can't capture that material in my Z-table because, I am using Plant key in my IF-Endif condition(that coding is done in the user-exit itself) and the plant is coming from the Structure WMARC which is one of the import parameter in the user-exit-->EXIT_SAPLMGMU_001.
    So, I think unless and untill the user makes changes in the views related to Plant, we wont be able to capture those materials.
    So, I want to know that is there any alternative to it?
    Thank you.

    Hi,
    The plant and all the plant dependent data for a material will be in importing parameter WMARC. If this table is not being populated is becouse you are creating only the basic material views, otherwise, that table should contain data.

    Jose

  • User Defined Field in Material master

    Hi Friends,
    Can we add any user defined fields in any views in  material master (preferably with F4 help)
    If so, please let me know how to do it and its impact.
    Regards
    Ram

    Hi Ramachandran,
    Of course. 
    1.  If there is an existing Material Class, use it, unless modifying that class interferes with existing business processes.  Otherwise create a new class using CL01.  Use class type 001.
    2.  Create a characteristic using CT04 that represents your new field.  The characteristic will be your new field name and the description will be the description.
    3.  Using CL02, assign the characteristic to the existing material class, or to the new one you just created in step 1.
    4.  If this is a new system, you will have to create user instructions as to how to maintain the field.  The field will exist in the Classification view of the Material master in MM01/02/03, and the contents can be edited just like any field.
    5.  If this is an existing system, you will have to populate this field in all of the existing material masters.  Depending on the size and complexity of data, you may have to create a Legacy System Migration Workbench (transaction LSMW) project to bring all the fields up to date.
    As far as F4 help, depends on where you want to see it.  Within the classification view of the material master, it is possible to establish a validation in CT04 that will require your users to pick from an established validation list when they select the F4 key.  If you want F4 help in other places, you should consult your ABAP'ers, who should be able to set this up for you.
    Impact of a new characteristic/class is zero.  Impact of adding a characteristic to an existing class is dependent on your current use of the existing classes.  Writing reports which use these data is a well understood technique within the ABAP community.  Although the field will not exist in MARA table, it can still give you the same functionality as if it did.
    I do not recommend that you add a field to MARA, even though this is possible.  Although hotpack upgrades will leave a customer generated MARA field alone, whatever functionality you create to use this new field will be endangered with every OSS note and every hotpack upgrade you install.  Since Characteristics and Classes are considered master data, SAP hotpacks pretty much leave them alone.
    Regards,

  • Create a specific user profile to Material master data

    Dear colleagues.
    We need create on R/3 4.6 a specific user profile for material master data, to create or modify (MM01/MM02) only the following views: 'Sales org. data 1', 'Sales org. data 2' and 'Sales:General/Plant data'. The problem is that when I use the SAP gui functions, I can create the profile, but also with the views 'Foreign trade: Export data' and 'Sales text'. Someone know how create this profile without this last two views? Thanks.

  • Attaching u0093material photou0094 on the user tab of the material master transacti

    All,
    We are exploring a solution for attaching “material photo” on the user tab of the material master transactions - MM01/MM02/MM03 in ECC6.0.
    Please review the questions outlined below from the client -
    - Is it feasible to attach a “photo” of material to the user TAB of transactions MM01/MM02/MM03.
    - What’s the performance impact on the online transaction?
    - What’s the storage impact of having photo attached to the materials?
    - Where and how is the “gif or jpg” image of the material stored?  As a file on UNIX?
    - Can a small “photo area” be added user tab?
    - Does this require extensive programming or configuration to achieve this?
    - How much of time would something like this require to setup?
    If anyone has worked on similar requirements, request you to respond at the earliest.
    Regards
    Deepthi.

    Hi Deepthi,
    - Is it feasible to attach a “photo” of material to the user TAB of transactions MM01/MM02/MM03.
    Yes its feasible
    - What’s the performance impact on the online transaction?
    There would definitely be impact on performance. The impact would depend on the Size of the Image file to be uploaded. So you need to do a performance analysis for various Size of Image file & select the one which doesn’t have much impact on performance & also has a good quality resolution of image
    - What’s the storage impact of having photo attached to the materials?
    SAP as such wont have any impact except the additional space required to store the images
    - Where and how is the “gif or jpg” image of the material stored?  As a file on UNIX?
    You can store it using transaction SMW0
    - Can a small “photo area” be added user tab?
    Programmatically yes. It would be a custom container in which you would be uploading the photo
    - Does this require extensive programming or configuration to achieve this?
    No idea whether it can be achieved through some config. Settings.
    Programmatically it’s possible. Yes, it requires extensive programming. You need to maintain a table with Material No. & photo name. Accordingly you need to build the logic to upload the image. This works mostly on the Class CL_GUI_PICTURE & its methods.
    Sample programs
    SAP_PICTURE_DEMO
    SAP_PICTURE_DEMO_ICON
    RSDEMO_PICTURE_CONTROL
    - How much of time would something like this require to setup?
    Well if the image size is defined, then it should take max. 15 working days to develop the same
