Material types in material master

Hi ,
What is the material type do we require in handling CS scenario?
Is it necessary to create BOM's for all the equipment?
Please respond
Thanks and Regards
Ashish

hi
1) A grouping together of materials with the same basic attributes such as raw materials, semifinished products, or finished products.
All materials must be assigned to a material type which determines:
Whether the material is intended for a specific purpose such as a configurable material or process material
Whether the material number can be assigned internally or externally
The number range from which the material number is drawn
Which screens appear and in what sequence
Which user department data you may enter
What procurement type the material has; that is, whether it is manufactured in-house or procured externally, or both.

Material Type for Material Determination

Hi Expert,
Is there any spesific/standard material master type for material determination on SD ?
Thanks,
IB

Is there any standard material type for 'Material Entered'
Normal salable materials would be created with HALB or FERT and this is in no way related to material determination. In fact, as everybody asked, if you can explain the business as to why you are comparing material type with material determination, may be you will get the right direction.

Not getting the Link between GEIL and material type: procured material not

Hi Friends,
Some material corresponding to certain G/L Account numbers are not appearing. From Fagll03 I can check the G/L Account number, but how shall be able to get the corresponding table field which holds the material or to check whether that G/L Account number has been properly linked to the material.
Please suggest what to do. Is this a problem of programming ? or ...
Thanks,
Saheli

Hi Saheli,
Link b/n GL accounts and Material is in this way.
Material is created based on material type and material type is connected to Valuation class via Account category reference.
Now that for each valuation class corresponding GL accounts are defined in customizing.
you can check the same in Tcode# OBYC.
To check the posting to Inventory account during GR, select BSX (Inventory posting) and check whether the corresponding valuation class has got the assignment with GL accounts or not.
Hope this help you out.

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.

Authorization for material type and material views

Hello all,
I would need to restrict a user group, in creation (MM01) and modification of material master, based of type material and material views.
The authorization, for each user should be:
- view, modify and create of all views, except accounting (B) for type material ZFER;
- view, modify and create of all views for type material ZOFF.
I tried to create 2 roles in PFCG with the following authorization objects:
1) M_MATE_MAR (Material Master: Material Types) ACTVT = *, BEGRU = ZFER and M_MATE_STA (Maintenance Statuses) ACTVT = *, STATM = A,C, D, E, F, G,K, L, P, Q, S, V, X, Z (excluding B)
2) ) M_MATE_MAR ACTVT = *, BEGRU = ZFER and M_MATE_STA ACTVT = *, STATM = B
but the effect is to be authorized, to all view for material type ZFER and ZOFF.
I have already updated the authorization group of the type materials (OMS2).
Is there a solution for this problem?
(component version SAP ECC 6.0)
Thanks.
Regards,
Luca

- Are both these roles assigned to the same user? then your purpose is not solved, It is more or less like giving full authorization.
- One role should be
M_MATE_MAR (Material Master: Material Types) ACTVT = *, BEGRU = ZFER and M_MATE_STA (Maintenance Statuses) ACTVT = *, STATM = A,C, D, E, F, G,K, L, P, Q, S, V, X, Z (excluding B) for view, modify and create of all views, except accounting (B) for type material ZFER. This should be assigned to one user
- Second role should be
M_MATE_MAR ACTVT = *, BEGRU = ZOFF and M_MATE_STA ACTVT = *, STATM = * for view, modify and create of all views for type material ZOFF. This role should be assigned to the second user.

Changing material type for material with history

We needed to change the material type for an existing item with purchasing, inventory and sales history from HAWA to UNBW. We are trying to PGI the first receipt since the change, and are receiving an Account Determination error .
When I look at the material master set-up, I still see records in the MBEW table. UNBW items that are set-up that way from scratch do not have any records in this table. Is this what is driving my error?
I'm guessing that if it is not, there will be some discrepancy between the material, vendor, and capital asset order.
Any insight is appreciated.

even UNBW can have accounting views.
The problem is probably that you just changed the material type and did not change the valuation class in the accounting view accordingly. remove it, and try again.

Material Type during Material Creation

Hi all:
For creating Raw Material or Finished Product from MMR1 and MMF1, there is no need to select material type, . I have created Material Type for e.g Gold, Silver, Color Stone, even i have to create Gold, Silver and Color Stone material without selecting material type.
Could anyone help me with this.
Regards.
Shegar.

Hi,
I guess defaulting is not possible. Copy the existing material and create a new one so that the inspection type is also copied.

Master Data - Material type

Hi people!
Do you know with there is some way to change de Material type of the "master data material" without create a new one?
Thanks a lot,
Rosana.

Hi
Use MMAM...
however, If stock exists - I think it will allow you only if the valuation class of the new and old material type is same
If val class is different, then issue stock to some cost center (MB1A - 201 movement type) - change the Mat Type and then again bring back the stock
If stock does not exist - Then No problem

Change material type

When i am changing the material type i am getting this msg. In Po items were deleted.
Change Material Type
The material type cannot be changed.
The reasons for this are:
Valuated stock exists (see valuation areas below).
However, account determination for the two material types differs.
(different account category reference or no valuation data defined)
Valuation area
1030
No open purchase order are there.

Different Material Types in different Plants

Hi,
I have 2 Plant under a Company Code. A material being produced in plant A has to be sent to Plant B for further processing. I would like to maintain single material master for both the plants, but different Material Types. Material has to be treated as Finished Goods in Plant A and Raw Material at Plant B. Could any one please let me know how I can MAP it in SAP.
Regards,
Nagaraja Achar.

Hi,
For the Same material Code you can not maintain two material types in two plants..
But you can make a Z* mat type with all the relevant views of FG & ROH..
For Plant 1 it will have all the views
and for Plant 2 extend only the ROH relevant views...
Thx

Material Types in Multy-Company Structure

Hello, experts,
We are implementing SAP ERP in a multy-company structure. Seven different company codes will be definied in the same SAP client. Three of these companies (A, B and C) produce similar machines. Another company (D) produces components for the machines that the other three companies (A, B and C) produce. Two of the companies (E and F) are pure wholesalers. They buy materials from the other companies (A, B, C and D) and sell them to external customers.
Another example:
Material X is a component which company D produces. So for company D this is a finished product (FERT). The same material is used as a component in the BOM of material Y, which companies A, B and C produce. So, for companies A, B and C material X is a raw material (ROH) and material Y is a finished product (FERT). Companies E and F buy both material X and material Y from companies D and A, B, C respectively and sell it to external customers. So for companies E and F both material X and Y are trading goods (HAWA).
I guess you see the trouble :). So, what material types shall be defined in this SAP client?
Thanks in advance for your answers.
Regards,
Rosen

one material can only have one material type.
If you dont want to use standard material types such as FERT, just because the other company does not accept this because for them it is a raw material, then just define an own material type.
a material type is nothing but description with some customizing. It is mainly used to define the layout of a material master, which views and fields will be present.
But people think they need to use the material type as key for reports. This will not work in a intercompany business.
I had such dicussions several times, people often just were confused because a raw material for them becomes a FERT in SAP, so you can ease the discussion by defining an own material type, even this will not solve the reporting issue .
