Material master lock authorization

Hi,
I would use the button lock material to lock fields of a material in material master.
Do you know what are authorization for this so that I can assign it only to some users?
Best regards

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.
Best Regards,
David

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.

Material master lock

Hi,
how can I lock a field in the material master so that it will not possible for the user to change its value ?
Regards

For maintaing the relevant screen and fields
SPRO --> Logistics general->material master->configure material master --> Assign Screen sequence to user /Material Type/Transaction type/Industry sector
Alternate You can do.
If you have already maintained the data and it is picking correctly at Transaction level and report level
Just make the field hide / Display mode
SPRO --> Logistics general->material master-> Field Selection --> Assign Fields to Field Selection Group

Locking material master

I want to lock the material master record after it has been created so that no one can change it afterwards. Is it possible to still create revision levels to this material using ECM (Engineering Change Management)?

Hi Kari,
We can lock Material master for fields which are lock-relevant. You do this in Customizing for the Material Master in Define Lock-Relevant Fields.This can be done through authorisation. This requires you to have the corresponding authorization for authorization object M_MATE_MAF. No changes can be made until we unlock the material
Hope this helps.

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.

Restrict change authorization for MM17 (Material master mass maintenance)

Hi,
Apologies if I have posted this in the wrong forum. I want to know if it is possible to use the mass maintenance transaction MM17 (indus. material) to display data only istead of change/create. Is there some setting at the basis object level which can enable this? There are currently a lot of custom abap reports and queries in our system for viewing material master data, these can all be replaced by MM17. Basically we want to use MM17 as a reporting tool to display data only. Is a solution possible? Help is appreciated, thanks.
Regards

Have you tried the MM Information System node in the SAP Easy Access menu? There are a bunch of standard reports with navigation options there, for the user who has the correct authorization to display only.
Alternately, you may want to take a look into transaction MASS and use the B_MASSMAIN object, depending on your requirements - but test it well.
Cheers,
Julius

Mass update of product master (lock material record)

Hi! Does anyone know of any program that I can use to carry out mass update of product master in SRM? I am specifically looking at locking the materials. I originally intended to use LSMW and create a recording for it. However, the recording didn't work - when I clicked on the open button so that I can key in the product id, it returns back to the recording / LSMW transaction with the screen data. I did not even have a chance to proceed further.
Any idea would be appreciated.
Regards
SF

really . though you are ECS mode .
material master must be there right ?
How your SRM PO will reflected ( indeed really creates in ECC i.e copy of srm PO).
confusion here
can you create a SC for local material and order a successful PO ?
i know there is a product check in catalog web services - in SRM product master not necesary but your ECC must have material master right..

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)

Authorization material type in material master

Hi expert,
I want to know how to restrict users to create/change Material Master following
the material type in the role.
In role authorization Object: M_MATE_MAR Material Master: Material Types.
I maintain material type like ROH , HALB , HAWA in authorization Group.
But it is not work. Please help me.
Thanks,

Hi,
Pl. check your role to users for the material master again for allowed material types. It should restrict the users only for the selected views only. This should be done for all the roles assigned to users in relation to materail master. (i.e. Create, Display & CHange). If you restrict the material type in create role only & it is not restricted in display role, then user will be able to create all the material types. hence restrict the material types in all roles related to material master (create, change, display) assigned to the user.

Prashant

Authorization Group Material Master

Hello,
i am trying to restrict a user from accessing a single material. I am using Authorization Object M_MATE_MAT for this. When I use transaction mm03 to go on the material master I see a field for the Authorization Group but when I go to the same view in mm02 (View: Basic Data 1) I don't see the field Authorization Group or the section Material Authorization Group. Where can I enter the Authorization Group for a Material Master.
Thanks everyone - I'd really appreciate an answer,
Johannes
Edited by: Johannes Hintsch on May 15, 2009 12:17 PM

HI..
You will have to make the field to display in OMS9.
Double click on MM02 - - >then for number 36 make the field as optional entry or required entry as desired.
Right now it must be showing in Hide.
After changing you will be able to see in MM02 and make the entry there.
Hope it helps,
Swapnil

Authorization for Material Master

Hi all
I need to set up authorization at a field level in the Material Master. Can I do it and if yes how do I proceed. What are the authorization objects for these?
thanks a lot

Hi,
Authorisations can be set up against certain fields in material master.
I suggest that you read the documentation against the following IMG path:
Logistics-General -> Material Master -> Tools -> Maintain Authorizations and Authorization PRofiles.

Hi,
Use authorization object M_MATE_MAR - 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.

            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.

Which table could i find 'Authorization Group' used for Material master?

Hi experts,
Is there any table available could i find all 'Authorization Group' list as used by material master data.
OR in SPRO, anywhere could i find 'Define authorization group' for material master data specific??
Thanks.

Hi
Authorization group in the material master are maintained at the material type level.
SPRO->IMG-> Logistics - General-> Material Master-> Basic Settings-> Material Types-> Define Attributes of Material Types
List of authorization roups can be found in table T134-Material Types
this filed is a free defined 4 charcter field.
Thanks & Regards

DMS - Object Links (Material master) is showing "Record Locked"

When looking at an info record in DMS, I am on the Object links tab for Material Master. There is now a field called "Record Locked". Haven't seen this field before. What does this mean that the record is locked? Is there something that needs to be done to unlock it?

Dear experts,
I also seen this column. But problem is I am able to view this in my development client. But could not view in production.
Also my observation is if I am changing the document from the Objectlink e.g. Material Master this cloumn appears automatically and allows me to do the changes in the DIR.
But this happens in Development client same functionality I want to use in Production.
I could not find any config part regarding this.
Can any body help me on this to resolve this?
Thanks in advance
Regards
Nitin
