Old material number - Field in Basic Data 1 View Material Master

Hai Techies,
We have a field called old material number - MARA-BISMT in material master basic data 1 view. Is that field is just for reference of old material or does it have any effects in the SAP MM when using the material for purchasing or in BOM or so on.
Could any one please highlight me the consequences of using this field to refer a old material number for the new number created.
Thanking you in advance.
Regards,
Kris.S

Hello Kris,
Number under which you have managed the material so far or still manage it,
for example, in another system or in a card index.
You can use the old material number to systematically search for material
master records via matchcodes.
Your understanding for the use of this field is correct.
regards
Ray

  • Material number suffixing with ! for some material in material master

    Hi Friends,
      We have uploaded  material master data with BDC . but for some of materials contain ! sign at the end of the material number. Means , at the 18th charecter ! is appearing. but it does not appear in mm03 while displaying. and even while finding it from MARA if we put material number   without ! sign then we can possible to get that material. and it does not allow us to crate material with same material number withought ! sign.
    But if while creating material if we put material with ! at the 18th charecter it creates material with ! sign but while searchig from MARA if you dont put ! sign with material number we can not  get that material as output and if we create other material without ! sign it allows to create the material.
    Please can you tell me what is the reson why ! is getting added at the end of material number ... do any1 of you have faced the same kind of situation and found for what reason it is coming....
    Thanks & Regards.
    Praja.

    Hi,
    This is due to config. In our case whenever we enter 8 digit number for Eg:
    12345678 material will be created as 1234.5678 a dot will appear after every 4 digits.
    But when we actually look at mara we wont find the dot (.) .
    We can do this by config by setting perfix and sufix to the material number. actually these characters will not be stored in DB.
    It will be shown in output when the function module CONV_EXIT_MATN1_OUTPUT runs.
    check config in OMSL transaction.
    In TMCNV table check field TEMPLATE it will have the template how the material number should be in our case its ____.____
    Your case might be ________________!

  • Disable Customer-Material Number field during VL02n before post goods issue

    Hello SAP gurus,
    I would like to ask the possibility of disabling the field "Customer Material Number' during outbound delivery creation.
    As we would know, this field (LIPS-KDMAT) will only be disabled after post goods issue.
    Will it be possible to disable the field without having to post goods issue first?
    Thanks in advance.

    I think you can do with SHD0 screen variant, or else you need to go with userexit to make display field.

  • Screen exit for MM01 to add additional fields to basic data tab .

    Hi All ,
    We are working on the SAP version ECC 5.0 . Our requirement is to add additional fields to the general data section of the basic data1 tab for the tcode MM01 . I have gone through many previous queries in SDN but not able to figure out what exactly the process should be . All I could figure out is to start the process from appending the structure to MARA for the additional fields . Then follow the steps in the SPRO .
    Define Structure of Data Screens for Each Screen Sequence
    Assign Secondary Screens
    Maintain Order of Main and Additional Screens
    Assign Screen Sequences to User/Material Type/Transaction/In
    Define How Maintenance Statuses Are Determined in Data Trans
    Create Program for Customized Subscreens
    I am not able to comprehend what we are trying to do in these steps .
    Can anyone explain me in detail what we are trying to do in the whole process ?
    Thanks ,
    Varun .

    Hi varun,
    Create the append structure on the MARA table.
    The SAP note 44410 describes how to add the new fields to the screen and how the updating will work.
    1.     Make a copy of function group MGD1to ZMGDI as stated inthe Ossnote using program COPYMGDI.
    2.             Goto Se38 enter program name SAPLZMGDI Click Display and goto> program-> other object---> enter screen number '0001' and add your fields to the subscreen which should apper on the the general data section of the basic data1 tab for the tcode MM01
    2.     Make the changes stated in SAP Note.
    3.     After make the changes the functional analyst will need to make some configuration changes.
    4.     SPRO -> Logistic General -> Material Master -> Configuring Materal Master -> Define Structure of Data Screens Sequence.
    5.     Select SSq = 21 then click on Subscreens select Basic DATA1
    6.     Enter in the new screens that were built
    7.     Change the row that was create putting in the program (function group program) that was created in step 2.
    Thanks and regards,

  • Purchasing info record: country of origin copied from Basic Data View

    How/where can I make sure that the Country of Origin from the Material Mastewr Data is ALWAYS copied into a purchasing info record for that same material?

    Hi,
       As of my knowledge, the country of origin will be copied to po from  material master and the same is copied from po to invoice. So in your case, in invoice, it will be copied from po only, that is DE will come in invoice.
      Please check the following note for better understanding:
    Note 481600 - FAQ: Import data in purchasing
    Note 418707 - Info record: Country of origin automatically filled
    Please check the link too: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60/helpdata/en/8b/2ae341bd955f24e10000000a1550b0/content.htm
