Purpose of maintaining classification view in material master

Hi gurus
can anyone explain Purpose of maintaining classification view in material master with example
Regards
Vishal...

Hi
One of the reason we maintain classification is for batch management where characteristics like shelf life expiry date is being attached to a class & that class is maintained in material master so whenever transactions takes place it will read from the characteristics value.
the other purpose is with variant configruation, for a configurable material there will be more than one characteristics for ex: in a car it comes with A/C - non a/c, metallic - non metallic, normal steering - power steering all these are mainatained as characteristics & assigned to a class & we use that class in classification for materials.
there is many more advantages & ways of using classification in material master.

No Material classification view in material master.

Hello all,
I have created LSMW for material master upload . Material is getting created through this, but 'classification view' is not getting created.
But i can see the material- class assignment in CL20N.
This problem is for specific material group.
Is there any relation between material group & classification view?
Plz advice how to resolve this?.
Regards,
Satpal Mujawar

Hi,
I found more information:
Batch Input for CL20N is no longer supported.
But you can continue to use batch input with the old transaction cl20.
Please have a look at note 943559, point 2. It would be even better to
use BAPI's instead. Please consult the notes 213120 and 373824 about the
possibilities you've got.
You can find information about the relevant Bapi's in transaction BAPI via:
- Cross-Application Components
- Classification
- ObjectClassification

Add new code in classification view under material master

Hi Experts!
I need to add new code in classification view, MM03 for class ZZLOCAL. Can anyone guide me to the path?
Please help..
Thanks.

this is not customizing, this is standard master data maintenance.
Easiest way to find the menu path is by entering search_sap_menu into the command field.
then you are prompted for search text. here you can either enter a transaction code or a name of transaction.
SAP will give a list with all menues and paths to reach this transaction

Sequence of maintaining views in material master

Hi
Is it possible to maintain sequence of maintaining different views in material master.
For example: Basic Data 1 should be maintained first & then Basic Data 2 and then General Plant Data/Storage 1 and then General Plant Data/Storage 2 and so on.
If the user misses the sequence, it should give a error message.

Significance of purchasing view in Material master

Hi,
What is the significance of purchasing view in Material master.
What could be effect if this view is not maintained?
Like for material type FERT there is no Purchasing view, but we can do procurement for FERT items.
So what is the significance of purchasing view in Material master?
Uts

Hi,
I cant Agree your statement,because for the Purchasing Activities it is mandatory that you Maintain the Purchasing view of the Material.
it Gives a error ..material not maintained by Purchasing.
Material XXXXXX not maintained by Purchasing
Message no. ME046
For Inhouse Production through Quota arrangement,it can be optional.
but for the remaining cases ,it is Mandatory.
and the Material type your are speaking is FERT.which is standard material type for Finished products.
if you are having External Procuremnt 100% sure it would be having Purchasing Tab activated .
if not so that,if it is a inhouse production.
check it in OMS2 ..for clear information

What is the concept of view in material master?

Hello sap gurus
Some quetions regarding Material Master
what is the concept of views in material master ?
what is determined by specifying industry sector in material master ?
To sell material which views are material are maintened in Material master?
Regards
Amit

Hi,
Material master for finished ggods is related with SD, MM & PP departments. If you carefully go through the various screens in MM record you will realize the importance of the respective fields and the department to which they belong.
1.Suppose Base unit of measure in Basic data 1 screen. The production people will keep the stock of the item using this UOM.
2. In Sales:Sales Org.1 screen we have sales unit in which we will sell the material.
3. Then we have the plant data in which we enter the delivering plant. Also the taxes are determined from the plant so we have the settings for taxes also - whether this material is fully taxable/50% tax/Tax exempted.
4. Then we have purchasing screen in which the data like the purchasing group, variable units,etc are entered. This will effect the purchasing cycle when we are procuring a material from outside. This is related to MM.
5. The we have MRP, this is related to PP as to how to manufacture the product, the MRP type, the strategy group - whether it is MTO/MTS like that.
5. Sales:Sales Org.2 screen - Here we mainatin the account assignment group which is very important as far as the generation of the accounting document is concerned. This triggers the system where to post the value in which G/L account. Accounting document is generated when we create the invoice in VF01 & save it.
6. Work scheduling - Related with the sceduling of the production as to whether underdelivery or overdelivery is allowed, the storage location
7. Quality - Here you can select for a particular finished item where where it has to be checked for quality during its journey from the raw material stage to the finished goods store as a finished item.
8. Accounting - Related to accounting, product costing, total value of the stock in hand, etc. Also related with FI & PP
So all the screens have data which effects one or more modules for the proper functioning of the system to give the optimum results.
Industry Sector:
Key that specifies the branch of industry to which the material is assigned.
Use
When you create a material master record, the industry sector you specify determines
1. which screens appear and in what order
2. which industry-specific fields appear on the individual screens
Screens for Sales:
Sales:Sales Org.1, Sales:Sales Org.2. But other screens also have data which is related to sales. You cannot just maintain the sales views and save the master. It has to be properly linked with the other modules also for the proper functioning of the system. That is why the system is called as "Enterprise Resource Planning" You have to paln the resources of your company and these resources are related with all the modules.
Reward points if solution helps.

Do I need to extend QM view in Material Master

Hi,
We never use QM module in our company however, we have a mini project which is ONLY to use QM module's quality notification to perform complains and problem resolution of company product.
Hence, under above scenario do we need to extend QM view in material master in order to use Quality Notification?
Regards,
Tuff

No. You don't need to extend QM view if you want to use QM notification only. However, you would need to maintain respective master data and that again depends on the process you follow.

Adding fields in costing view of material master

Hi gurus,
I need to add 4 fields in costing view of material master. I have followed the steps in SPRO, for configuring customized screen in material master.
1) Created a function group YMMCO and copied the screen 2904 from program SAPLMGD1.
2) Added 4 fields in my customized screen.
3) Created copy of 01 ( Screen reference ) to z1 in OMT3B.
Since 2904 is not there in the sequence . I changed one 0001 sequence at the end to 2904 . I also assigned my program
SAPLYMMCO to it. I can see the changed fields in data screen and subscreen.
4) Then I assigned the SSq to z1 in transaction OMT3E.
But unfortunately, when I go to MM01 to create a material , I am not able to view the fields I added in costing view.
I have checked the screen for the previous field, it shows 2904 only.
Two days back, I did the same thing in basic data view 1 , it was working properly. As per client's suggestion I put it in
costing view, it is not working . Please give me suitable suggestions.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks,
