Material Master Procurement Type

Can you tell me the difference between procurement type x vs f besides the obvious. What does using x get me if we dont produce the material in house. All of our masters are marked with X even though we buy the parts.
Thanks!

hi,
In that case system will generate the planned orders and partial qty for the PR's..
planned order may be req. because if need may rit become easy to make the production order any time...
if you use the for external procurement then system will not produre the planned orders and only PR's are generated and if case if req. to make the production order at any time then you can't go back..
so gng for the X keeps us at safer side
Hope it helps..

Hi,
Archiving the Material Master
Transaction SARA contains all the SAP archiving objects for all the SAP R/3 applications modules.
A D V E R T I S E M E N T
All the SAP archive functions are shown in SARA. Choose the corresponding SAP archive object, hit enter and the archive administration menu will be shown. Provided here will be an example on how to archive the SAP Material Master.
Archive a Material Master Record
When a material is no longer required in a company or plant, you can archive and delete the material master record.
You have to Flag the material master record for deletion. This is known as logical deletion.
Before a material master record can be archived and deleted, other objects (such as purchasing documents) that refer to this material must themselves be archived. You can see which objects these are and the dependencies between them in the network graphic.
If a material master record cannot be archived and deleted at a given organizational level, the reason is given in the log (for example, a purchase order exists for the material). The log also contains technical data such as the number of material master records read and the number deleted.
Some of the archive error log message :-
Costing data exists
Use in routing
Use in sales and distribution
Use in bill of material
Delivery exists
Costing data exists
Info record exists
Purchase order exists
The Archiving steps :-
Archiving object MM_MATNR for archiving material master records.
You can display the archived data, but not reload it.
To archive the material master, first goto transaction MM71.
Type in a variant name and click Maintain. (Tick the Test Mode for archive simulation).
Save the variant.
Maintain the Start date and Spool parameters and click execute.
Click Goto Job Overview to check the archive status.
To do a permanent delete, goto transaction SARA and click Delete button.
Maintain the Archive Selection, Start date and Spool parameters.
Click Test Session for testing or click execute to start the deletion program.
Click Goto Job Overview to check the delete status.
Now, if you goto MM02/MM03, you will not be able to find the record in the material master.
Thanks

Material master/Output type IDOC /MATMAS

Hello ,
I want to generate Idoc(MATMAS) whenever a material is created or changed. I could do the same for ME21N/ME22N for PO with PO idoc. Would like to know whether there is output types for material master or anything else so that i can generate Idoc for my senario.
Thanks for ur time.
Jeeva.

Hi,
the configurations which we do for material master is below...we don't give any output for material master,becoz its a master data not transactional data..
        For distributing master data like material master, vendor master, customer master we have standard transaction codes that are provided by sap.
Bd10(send material master)
Bd12(send customer master)
Bd14(send vendor master)
Bd30(boms)
The order of Tcodes are:
           Bd54 (creating logical systems)
           Scc4 (assigning logical systems )
           Sm59 (rfc destination)
           We81 ( message type)
           We30 ( idoc type)
           We31 ( segment type)
           We82 (linking message type and idoc type)
           We21 (creating port)
           We20 (partner profiles)
           Bd64 (Distribution model)
           Bd10 (material master)
Ex: material master.
     Message type: matmas.
     Idoc type: matmas05.
Rewrad if helpful.

QM view material master (Inspection Type)

Hi there,
 I didn't understood the pragmatic usage of the check box inspection by configuration & inspection by characteristics.......that can be set for the inspection types..........
Please enlighten me ......
Thanks
Kaushik

If you set this indicator, the system takes the configurations from the sales or production order into account when inspection lots are created and changes or supplements the inspection specifications in the task list or material specification.
The indicator only works for the following inspection lot origins:
o 01 Goods recipt for purchase order
o 03 Production
o 04 Goods receipt for production order
The indicator cannot be used for the inspection lot origins 10 and 11.
Example
When creating the sales order, the customer defines that the pH value of the product to be manufactured should be between 5.0 and 5.5. When an inspection lot is created for the resulting production order, this tolerance is then copied into the inspection.
Dependencies
The specifications are only copied into the inspection lot if there is a link between the class characteristic and a master inspection characteristic.
Hope this helps you.

Wrong procurement type showing in the material master

Hi,
I am creating a material Procurement type is comming as E in the MRP2 view, To where it is comming?
I have checked the material type setting in the tcode OMS2 and it below are showing there:
Ext. purchase orders 2
Int. purchase orders 2
Hence it's allowed int. and ext. proc. then why in the material master procurement type is comming E not X.
How can I change it?

Check to see if you have assigned an MRP Profile which has defaulted Procurement Type. If this is the case, you will have to remove the MRP Profile before you can change the entry. Or you can maintain the MRP Profile by deselecting "Write-protected in material maintenance" and selecting "Only default value in material maintenance" for Procurement Type. The Transaction is MMD2.

Default Procurement Type for a Material Type

Hello everybody,
Is it possible to assign a default procurement type (for example: F) to a Material Type?
If yes, can you explain me where (which transaction)?
If no, can you explain me an alternative to do so?
Thanks a lot in advance for your help...
Regards,
Rudy

You can do this by configuring material type.
Follow the path
IMG->Logistic general->material master->Basic Settings>Material types-->Define attributes of the material type
Select the material type and click detail button
In the External/Internal Purchase order Subscreen---Set the following details
Ext. Putchase Order should be 2 (external purchase order allowed)
Int. Purchase Order should be 0 (No internal purchase order allowed)
If u save the setting
then when u create material master, Procure type would be F in MRP 2 screen and you cant change this value becuase the field is greyed out it will be only displayed

Procurement Type 'X' and Special Procurement Type

Hello all,
Need some advice over this topic.
Material with procurement type 'X' can either be procured externally or manufactured in-house. The problem is :
#1. If a special procurement type that corresponds to external procurement say for example '30' is set in Material master. I don't find an option to have this converted into a process/production order.
#2. Whereas If a special procurement type that corresponds to in-house production say for example '52' is set in the Material Master. I have almost every possible function's visible.
How do i get to the view process/production order for case 1 in the 'Additional Data for MRP Element' screen of MD04 ?
Please do help out.
Regards,
Rahul

Rahul,
Please re-read the SAP help related to special procurement key.
I know for sure the answer lies in there!
Here is what the F1 help says:
Use
You use special procurement when you want to be able to override the procurement type in the material master or define the procurement type more precisely.
If the procurement type is in-house, you can nevertheless force the system to ignore the BOM and routing, and process the material as if it were externally procured, by specifying the special procurement as external.
Now please check OMD9 configuration for the SP Keys that you are testing, it will be clear.
Good luck!

Material Master MATMAS IDOC and base unit of measurement

Hi
We are using SAP standard material master IDOC type MATMAS05 to trigger IDOC. Our material master is having base unit of measure as "G". We are not using ISO unit of measurement. But Material master IDOC, segment E1MARM is populating base unit of meaurement (MEINS) as "GRM".
Any idea why IDOC is picking ISO unit of measurement instead of material master base unit of measurement.
Any idea how to send base unit of measurememt as "G" instead of "GRM" in DOC segment.
Thanks
Nilesh

There are ISO codes for country keys, currency keys, units of measure and shipping instructions. According to SAP design guidelines, you should use ISO codes for an IDoc if they are available. When you set up the IDoc, the SAP codes have to be replaced by ISO codes.

Thats the way it works. In any interfacie to or from external sys. , it uses the ISO code from CUNI instead of the UOM .

Procurement Type in MRP2 view - material master - configuration?

for the life of me, i cannot find how to configure this field. does anyone have any knowledge how to configure this field to have more options from a material type standpoint?
for example, if i use a VERP material type, i want to have the ability to choose in house (E) or external (F) procurement.
thanks in advance.

HI,
SPRO > Logistics - General > Material Master > Basic Setting > Material Types > Define Atrributes of Material Types.
Choose the desired material type > double click > on 'Internal/external purchase order' tab (section) please set '2' (or '1') for both external and internal PO.

Material procurement types

hi friends,
can any one tell me material procurement types

Hello
Check this document on Material Type:
Use
When the system determines the procurement element, it first asks whether procurement should take place via in-house production or external procurement.
Prerequisites
You have defined whether in-house production, external procurement or both are allowed for the material, in the material master record, in the Procurement type field. The procurement type is preset by the material type in Customizing for the material master.
If necessary, you have defined more precisely how the in-house production or external procurement is to be carried out, in the material master (MRP 2 view), in the Special procurement field.
You define special procurement keys in Customizing for MRP in the IMG activity Define special procurement type.
Features
Procurement Type
If both in-house production and external procurement are defined for the material via the material type (indicator X in Procurement type field), then you can set the procurement type as follows:
By overwriting the indicator in the material master
By converting the planned order either into a production order or a purchase requisition
By using quota arrangements, in that you define that a certain percentage of the material is to be procured via in-house production and the rest via external procurement (see Quota Arrangements).
If you leave the indicator X for both procurement types in the material master record, and you have not maintained any quota arrangements, the system automatically switches to in-house production. The planned order therefore firstly creates planned orders, which you can then convert into production orders or purchase requisitions.
Special Procurement Type
The special procurement type is used to precisely define how in-house production and external procurement is to be carried out.
Special Procurement for In-House Production
For a phantom assembly
Production in alternative plant
Withdrawal from an alternative plant
Direct production
Special Procurement for External Procurement
Consignment
Subcontracting
Stock transfer
Direct Procurement
Reg
assign points if useful

Special procurement type in Matrl Master?

Hello All,
Could someone please explain the significance of the field pecial procurement type in the material master?
We are working on a subcontracting scenario wherein the parent matrl is sometimes manufactured inhouse and sometimes sent to a subcontractor. I maintained the procurement type as X for this reason. Now should I maintain the special procurement type as 30 (Subcontracting)?
What exactly is the functionality of this field?What purpose does it serve? I have read the F1 help but have not understood it properly.Would really appreciate if someone could explain with a live example.
Regards,
V S

Hi,
Through Procurement type you define whether the procurement will be in-house production or extranal or both.
Sometimes this information isn't enough to describe the process, generally in the following cases :
Special Procurement for In-House Production
+ For a phantom assembly+
+ Production in alternative plant+
+ Withdrawal from an alternative plant+
Direct production
Special Procurement for External Procurement
+ Consignment+
+ Subcontracting+
+ Stock transfer+
+ Direct Procurement+
for the above cases, to carry out this information into system we use the "special procurement type field"
the most commun situation are: phantom assembly : we use in general indicator 50
Subcontracting : we use in general indicator 30
regards

Change Special Procurement in the material master?

Hi,
How can I change Special Procurement in the material master? Right now Special procurement field is greyed out and would not allow me to change it?
Sincerely,
Ketan

Hi,
Have you used any MRP profile.
If so in transaction MMD2 for MRP profile, choose the special procurement type field & change the selection from display mode.
Now in transaction mm02 the spl procurement field can be entered/changed.
