Open field for cost center on the material master

We have a unique requirement in a facility we intend to implement plant maintenance in to track a cost center to a material by including the cost center on the material master somewhere. Cost center is not a field on any of the material tabs we use for maintenance materials, but the requirement is just that it is tracked in a field, even if it's just an open field like a "user defined field" or another field not used often. We realize there are disadvantages such as the field not being checked against active cost centers, but we are looking at options short of adding cost center as a field manually to a tab (which I believe would require ABAP assistance). I don't think there are any other fields/tabs we are currently not utilizing but I could be wrong... The best option we can think of is adding it in a material characteristic so it shows on the classifications tab, but I thought I would see if anyone has any other ideas.
Thanks

Not sure what is the need of cost center on material master when you want to implement Plant maintenance module. Do you have any specific requirement for this?
Ideally cost center will be derived from either functional location/ equipment (equivalent of material master) on to PM work order or notification.
Can you elaborate the requirement?
After all if you wish to go with cost center, then I suggest it should be at plant level as PM requires plant level distribution. You can add up a custom field and give the reference of cost center data element with help of developer.

Authorisation object for "PO text in the material master"

Hi,
My requirement is as below:
"All users can see the Purchase Order Text as usual, but only a few users should be allowed to create / change the PO Long Text.
For other users, the same should appear in display mode only (both in creation & in change mode, MM01 & MM02)."

Accounting & costing view in the material master

hi
my client wanted to block the accounting & costing view in the material master for the end users
what i need to do

Hi,
You can (Authorization material master by views of accounting & costing ) achieve this by way of authorization control. In transaction PFCG, select your role for creating / changing the material master. Select option Maintenance statuses. Then at change status option select views that you want to give the authorization to the users. Create profile & save the role. Now assign the role to the users. They will get only those views you have selected. You have to select those views in all the roles related to material master (create, change, display).Better Consult Basis Consultant,

OCM for Revesion level in the Material Master and for the BOM

Hello,
I use My SAP 6.
I have implemented OCM. It's used for 2 things:
- The first is for revision level in the Material Master.
- the second is for the BOM.
Today, the customizing is good, it's work.
My need is to have the same change number for those 2 evolutions: for the material master evolution and for the BOM evolution.
It's possible, and how?
Thanks for your answers.

I do not think this is possible. Service level is usually used for safety stock planning.

Change the profit center in the material master

dear All,
we need to change the profit center but the system is not letting because the is stock.
i was thinking if we issue this stock on any cost center, change the profit center and then cancel the issuing material document ...
what do you think ,,,, would this effect the accounting badly ?? if so,, please recommend other ways

Hi, The only solution to change the "PROFIT CENTER" for you will be to maintain message MM335 in OMT4 as a warning, then change the Profit center & again change it to error.
Are you really thinking this is the right approach?
ever thought about how the posting are made in the other modules then? We dont live on an MM island, so a solution has to cover the requirements of the connected modules as well.
if you had received stock to a material with profit center A, then value is posted to profit center A.
if you change the profit center in material master to B while you have stock, the value of earlier receipts will not move from profit center A to B, they stay at A.
The next goods issue for this material is made against the profit center B.
this results in having a postive value at profit center A (which will never go away) and having a negative value at profit center B (because you had never received to profit center B what you just issued)
Because of this you should not change the message settings.

you cannot issue anything in the prior period if everything is already issued in the current period.
One should obtain the quantityof previous period in material master accounting view.
Finally you have to have zero stock in current and previous period before changing profit center.
How you approach this is based on the fact if the current period stock is bigger or smaller than the previous period stock.
if current period stock is bigger, then issue previous period stock with previous peiod date, and issue remaining stock in current period.
if current period stock is smaller than previous period stock, then you have to write on the delta in the current period, and subsequent issue the total stock in the previous period.

Your approach is right. when we had this issue we solved through created dummy material and issue it to dummy material, change the profit center and receive it back..

Goods issue to cost center or goods movement 309 to a dummy material will both affect accounting and create accounting documents.
of course, if everything works well then you will get accounting documents with opposite value after you have changed the profit center and you write on the quantity again.

MRP TYPE for Periodic planning in the material master.

Dear gurus,
i need planned the materials in the periodic modality, are there the type MRP in the material master for create the planned file ( table MDVM) one once a month or in the specific period chose ?
Example :

Are there the MRP type for my problem? Or the customizing setting?
Thanks a lot
Dani

Dani,
Not sure if MRP type or customizing can help here. And even if we are able to achieve this requirement it will be applicable at plant level.
However, try exploring option of periodic lot size (weekly, monthly, etc). This will work according to period you've set and should give you the results you are looking for.

Hi
As said by Bijay u can Go for Blanket Po also.
Create blanket PO with limit and validity period. (Blanket purchase orders have the item category B and the document type FO. )
U can create PO with or without account assignment and can change as per requirement at the time of Invoice verification so that expence will be booked against required cost center
I think this is a best soln.
<b>Also read info given by SAP about Blanket PO</b>
The processing time for individual purchase orders is not often viable for office materials, screws and small parts, cleaning work or lesser services that are required during the course of the year In such cases, you can use blanket purchase orders to procure various consumable materials or services from a vendor, up to a fixed value limit.
A blanket purchase order contains a validity period and a value limit. This means that you can specify a validity period instead of a delivery date. Invoices can be posted against this blanket purchase order within the validity period. The total invoiced value must not exceed the value limit. A blanket purchase order only contains a short text. It does not contain materials or services. Blanket purchase orders have the item category B and the document type FO.
You cannot enter a goods receipt, enter services, or accept services for blanket purchase orders.
<b>The system does not need to know the account assignments for the individual requirements at the time of the purchase order</b>. You can enter them during invoice verification. If account assignment data has already been maintained in the purchase order, you can change these during invoice verification. When you enter an invoice for a blanket purchase order, you can enter as many account assignments as you require, along with the relevant amounts.

Validation for PO text in the material master.

Hi experts,
I am trying to do a validation on the Purchase Order Text (long text) which must always be filled in Language EN and DE.
Thus if a user tries to edit a material in MM02 or creates a new one in MM01 - this box of long text (PO text) must be filled, else it should throw an error.
i created a BADI and inside that i am calling the FM read_text , but it check for only existing text already saved in the database.
WHAT ABOUT THE RUN-TIME (ex creating a material).
or what if the user purposely deletes an existing PO long text and then tries to save it (database might already have a PO long text saved for that material).
Kindly help me if there is any FM which can be called to check in the Runtime if the PO long text is filled or if we can do some customizing and make that PO long text Mandatory.
Please not we need this field mandatory only for only 03 plants, that's where the problem is coming.
Many Many thanks in advance.

Hi,
You can maitain the PO text of material master record in english and german. To do this goto POtext view below languages maintained create icon will be there select that give the english language, enter the text in english and save. Again select german and enter the PO text.
To get the PO text view mandatory , go to SPRO, logistic general, material master, fielld selection,define plant specific feild selection and plant specific screen selection. For 3 plants you can configure here.Hence the POtext view will be mandatory and gives error if not maintained. I hope this will resolve your issue. Thanking you.

Hello Rittik,
Please use Exit 'EXIT_SAPLMGMU_001' for your requirement. I checked and below code (READ_TEXT) picks latest text from the transaction in processing and hence can be used for raising any error. Let me know if you face any issues.

How to use field "responsible Cost center" in Report Painter

Hi
I create report painter by using standard LIbrary and want to use field "Responsible Cost Center" as a parameter in order to display report in hierachy.But the standard Library "6O1" doesn't provide this field .
So I try to create new library by copy the standard "6O1" and using the structure "CCSS".But it doesn't show this "Responsible Cost Center" Field as a parameter .
Please give me an advice step by step the way to get this field as parameter in report painter
regards
Chompleon

Hi,
I have a similar requirement. I have followed OSS note 358251 as an example to add the 'Responsible Cost Center', however it doesn't display in the report even after I choose the field for display. The steps I have followed are -
1) Added the field ZZ_KOSTV in the include structure CI_CC1S.
2) Using transaction GRCT, table CCSS, I added a characteristic KOSTV with Def field OBJNR, and filler routinue EZZ_FILL_KOSTV. I then wrote code in this routinue to populate the value KOSTV from AUFK table in the include program FK21REZZ. In debug mode, I can see correct values are populated in this field.
3) I created a copy of an existing report in the library 6O1, changed it and in the Total line, added the field Responsible Cost Center to the Selected Characteristics. When I save, regenerate and execute the report, the value for Responsible Cost Center doesn't get displayed though the displayed orders have a value populated in this field and when I debug I can see the value is passed ut correctly form the filler routinue to the field KOSTV.
Please help and let me know what I need to do to be able to see this field in the output result.

Dear Sunil,
Check out this,
1.Create a Cost center using T code - KS01.
2.Create an activity type using T code - KL01.
3.Assign the Rates for an activity type & cost center combination using T code KP26.
4.In the input screen of T code KP26 ,enter version as 0, from period 1 and to period as 12 and the Fiscal
Year as 2008,enter the cost center, activity type click on overview screen (F5)---> enter the per hour Rate
under Fixed price and set value as 2 for distribution key and plan price indicator as 3.
5.After performing this ,while creating the work center ,this combination of activity type & cost center
should be assigned.Then while creating routing/task list this work center can assigned for performing
operations.
Check with this & revert back if you need any further help.

Change of price control from "s" to "v" in the material master

Dear All,
Due to business requirement, we would like to change the price control for FERT items in the material master from "S-Standard Cost" to "V-Moving Average Price". This change we would like to do only at sales plants (Non-Manufacturing Locations). Very few materilas are having the stock on the date of the price control change
I would like to know is there any SAP Note / Any of you are having such experience? Please arrange the same.
Regards
Anilkumar

Hi,
i am not sure about any program but through MR21 you can change tthe Price in material master.
If stock is available system will hit to closing stock of the material for price change in case stock is not available it will hit price difference gl account.
