Relationship between material type and industry sector

Hi experts
when using t-code mm01,there are two fields material type and industry setor in screen.Is there any relationship between material type and industry sector? I want to know if user be able to see the material type related to particular industry sector?
thanks in advance!

Hello
There is no direct relationship between the material type and the industry sector.
The industry sector is used only for field sttus maintenance (fields in display/optional/requierd entry) in transactions.
We will assign seperate field reference groups to industry sectors and deopending on how we configure the field references, the fields will appear for the materials created for that industry sector.

  • How to change material type and industrial sector of the exsisting material

    Hi,
    There is an issue where user wants to change material type and industrial sector of the exsisting material .Is  it posible to do so??
    IF not ,how can we delete that material from material master so that another material with same number and required material type and industrial sector  can be created.
    Points will be definitely rewarded.
    Thanks
    Rohit

    Hi Rohit,
    You can change the material type in MMAM trxn code if the material dosenot conatain any open purchase requisitions, open reservations & open purchase orders. Also material stock should be zero.
    Remember the new material type should have same attributes same as old material type.
    OLD Material New Material
    1) Standard Price 1) Standard Price
    2) Manufacture part 2) Manufacture part
    profile actvated profile actvated
    3) Quantity & Value 3) Quantity & Value
    Updation in all areas Updation in all areas
    4) should have same GL 4) Should have same GL acs
    acs
    It is not possible to change Industry sector once created.
    If you want to delete the Material, you can flag it in MM06 trxn code.

  • Difference between Material type and Item category

    What is the difference between Material type and Item category?
    We can differentiate different kind of materails according to material type then why do we have Item category which is also more or less on the same lines.
    Both can be considered as a terminology in SAP to group similar kind of materials.
    Please let me know the exact difference between the two?

    Dear Christino
    We can list out so many differences.
    When you create a material master record, the material type you choose determines:
    - Whether the material is intended for a specific purpose, for example, 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 taken
    - Which screens appear and in what sequence
    - Which departmental data you may enter
    - What procurement type the material has; that is, whether it is manufactured in-house or procured externally, or both
    Together with the plant, the material type determines the material's inventory management requirement; that is:
    - Whether changes in quantity are updated in the material master record
    - Whether changes in value are also updated in the stock accounts in financial accounting
    In addition, the accounts affected by a material entering or leaving the warehouse depend on the material type.
    -Most importantly, Users can be authorized to create materials of specific material types but not based on item category
    - Item category will define whether the material should be valuated for stock or it should be considered as non-stock
    - Pricing is carried out based on Item Category and not based on Material type

  • Relationship between condition type and payment term

    Hi,
    I created a purchase order (only 1 item) with with payment term "Within 14 days 2 % cash discount" So a condition type SKTO auto added for the item with discount is 2%.
    can anybody show me the relationship between payment term with the condition type and the IMG T.code to make this relationship?
    Thanks
    Long

    If you go to IMG - MM- Purchasing - conditions- Define price determination process - Define Condition types
    For SKTO the condition category is E- Cash discount
    For this condition type which is defined in the calculation procedure , the system internally derives a percentage from the terms of payment and inserts it in the condition type with the category E

  • Link between Material group and GL account

    Hi Friends ,
    Need your help in the following issue
    Where is the link between Material group and GL account. i.e. If material group is selected in PO then the GL account for the material should get picked up automatically in PO (for account assigned POs) ?
    What I know is
    1. In Account assignment category configuration we need to assign the value "VBR" in  Account Modification field.
    2. In Material group configuration we need to assign the vluation class for material group
    3. In Account determination(OBYC) for GBB transcation type for the combination of  general modifier "VBR" & Valuation class we need to assign the GL account .
    When PO is created with respective account assignment category the GL account is picked from the above setting.
    My question is ,  "Is there any other setting apart from the above which will decide the GL account in PO fro account assigned POs"?
    Thanks
    Deva

    Hi,
    From IMG> Material Management> Purchasing> Material Master> Entry Aids for Items Without a Material Master,
    With it you can define the G/L account assignment according to the relationship between material group and valuation class, from my point of view, you had better define some valuation class for non-produciton parts in advance.
    Good luck

  • Is business area and industry sector are same.

    Hi All,
       is company code  is related to industry sector in any way??? 
    is industry sector related thro business area then, or  is business area and industry sector are one and the same.
    Thanks
    Sathsih

    Dear Satish,
    Business Area - Organizational unit of external accounting that corresponds to a specific business segment or area of responsibility in a company. Movements in value entered in Financial Accounting are assigned to business areas.
    Financial statements can be created for business areas for internal purposes.
    The definition of the business area organizational unit is optional.
    Business areas are used in external segment reporting (over and above company codes), based on the significant areas of operation of a company (for example, product lines, branches).
    To define business areas, choose the following in Customizing for the Enterprise Structure: Definition -> Financial Accounting -> Define Business Area.
    If you have defined business areas, the transaction figures for the G/L accounts are managed separately for internal evaluation purposes. You can therefore create internal financial statements for business areas.
    If you want to create financial statements for business areas, you must make sure that the Business area field is ready for input in all the line items. To do this, proceed as follows in Customizing for Financial Accounting: Financial Accounting Global Settings -> Business Area -> Enable Business Area Balance Sheet.
    To post items in a business area, enter the business area when you enter the business transaction. However, the business area can also be derived from other account assignments, such as the cost center. To enable the system to do this, you must define the business area in the cost center master record.
    If you enter a cross-company code document, you can post to different business areas across all company codes in one document. As a result, any number of combinations of company code and business area are possible.
    Industry Sector - When you create a material master record, you are required to classify the material according to industry sector and material type.
    The standard system contains the following industry sectors. The ID used to identify the industry sector internally appears in parentheses.
    ·        Plant engineering and construction (A)
    ·        Chemical industry (C)
    ·        Mechanical engineering (M)
    ·        Pharmaceuticals (P)
    The other sectors are for retail.

    Naveen.

  • Variance between Material Ledger and General Ledger of

    There is again a variance between Material Ledger and General Ledger of
    7.026,64 (Tcode MB5L) as it was already in $$100036500(G/L).
    The strange thing is, that there is only a difference in the GL Account
    Balance report (FS10N) for S240077000(G/L ). In the Line Item report (FBL3N)
    all documents are available. This issue impacts at least the Balance
    carry forward negativ at the year end, because the system will forward
    the the amount of the balance for S240077000, which is now 7.026,64 to
    less.
    Ther first investigations results:
    - all Material- and FI documents are available.
    - the variances in June refer to FI-documnets 4900015286 and 4900015293.
    - the documents, e.g. 4900015292 and 4900015287, are correct and was
    posted at the same day by the same user and with the same transaction
    MI07.
    - there are no differences for the posted materials identificable from
    the other materials

    Material Ledger/Actual costing  MLAC
    MLAC is used where the FG cost varies every month due to external procurement variation.
    Ex: Jan 2011
    FG cost of manufcature internally = 100
    FG cost of procurement externally = 120 ( Company procures due to capacity constraint)
    FG Standard price at the end of month = 110...This is standard price of FG
    Due to heavy fluctuations in the month of February 2011 in procurement...
    Ex: Feb 2011
    FG cost of manufcature internally = 140
    FG cost of procurement externally = 460 ( Company procures due to capacity constraint)
    FG Standard price at the end of month = 300...This is standard price of FG.
    The variance is very high in Feb 2011 and company want to absorb this variance in Feb 2011 iteslef hence they will use MLAC.
    So if the variance is within reasonable limits company usually do not follow MLAC.
    Where as if the variance is very high company usually follow MLAC.
    In Pharma Industry usually the variance is very high on month to month basis hence they follow MLAC.
    Where as in Industrial Mahcineery Manufacturing Company the variance is with in reasonable limits hence they do not follow MLAC. Ofcourse they can use MLAC as well.

  • How would i design the relationship between "question", "subquestion", and "answer"

    Hi all. Consider the following scenario:
    Scenario:
    A Question has an Answer, but some Questions have Subquestions. For example:
    1. Define the following terms: (Question)
    a) Object (1 marks) (Subquestion)
    An instance of a class. (Answer)
    b) ...
    2. Differentiate between a constructor and a destructor (2 marks)
    (Question)
    A constructor constructs while a destructor destroys.
    (Answer)
    Question:
    I want to model Questions, Subquestion, and Answer as Entities with relationships/associations, preferably binary relationships as i feel ternary relationships will be problematic while programming. Any suggestion on how i would
    go about this?
    There is never infinite resources.
    For the Question Entity, a question has the attributes "QuestionPhrase <String>", "Diagram<Binary>", and "Marks
    <Decimal>".
    For the SubQuestion Entity, a subquestion has the attributes "SubQuestionPhrase <String>", "Diagram<Binary>", and "Marks <Decimal>".
    For the Answer Entity, an answer has attributes, "AnswerPhrase<String>", "Diagram <Binary>"

    Yes. I am in .Net. I sure do hope i did not ask in the wrong forum. :-|
    Hi KCWamuti,
    If you need to design the relationship between Question table and Answer table in SQL Server, as Uri’s and Visakh’s posts, you can create the foreign key to establish relationship between tables, and use join in query to get your desired result. For more
    information about JOIN in SQL Server, please review this article:
    Different Types of SQL Joins.
    However, if you need to model Questions, Subquestion, and Answer as Entities in .Net, then the issue regards data platform development. I suggest you post the question in the Data Platform Development forums at
    http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/home?category=dataplatformdev . It is appropriate and more experts will assist you.
    Thanks,

  • Difference between message type and idoc type

    Hi
    difference between message type and idoc type
    Regards
    Rama

    Hi,
    Message Type:
    A message type represents the application message exchanged between R/3 systems and R/3 and an external system. A message type characterises the data sent across systems and relates to the structure of the data called an IDOC type.
    Diff. with IDOC type
    An IDoc type specifies the structure of the data.
    A message type specifies the meaning of the data
    Diff. b/w IDOC type and IDOC
    An IDoc type is the definition of a specific data structure.
    An IDoc is an actual instance of data based on an IDoc type. Therefore, there can be many IDocs created from a single IDoc type.
    Example:
    MATMAS is the message type and MATMAS05 is IDoc type for Material Master.

  • What is the relation between req type and checking group

    Could any1 please explain me the link between requirement type and checking group?
    Also please throw some light on the other terms in ATP like requirement class and checking rule.
    Thanks in advance

    Dear VGR,
    The requirement type refers to the origin type, for example, goods receipt for purchase order (Type B) or goods issue to cost centers (Type K).
    The criterion that groups together all checking rules for all application areas for a material.
    In conjunction with the checking rule, the checking group defines the scope of the availability check for each business event, that is, which stocks, goods receipts, and goods issues are taken into account in the availability check, and whether replenishment lead time is checked.
    Checking rule
    A rule that defines how the availability check is performed.
    The checking rule, in conjunction with the checking group, determines the scope of the availability check for every business operation; that is, which stocks, receipts, and issues are included in the availability check and whether the check is performed with or without the replenishment lead time.
    I hope this will help you,
    Regards,
    Murali.

  • Difference between 'materialized vews' and snapshots

    Hello,
    i have two questions:
    what the difference between 'materialized vews' and snapshots? In fact, in create thoses Oracle Objects:

         Create materialized view T1_MV

         Build immediate
         Refresh fast on commit
         As Select COL1,COL2 from T1
    and in find that T1_MV and T1_SNAPSHOT have the same caracteristics in dba_tables and DBA_SNAPSHOTS and DBA_MVIEWS.
    seconde question: what's the difference between DBA_SNAPSHOTS
    and DBA_MVIEWS tables?
    I work under oracle 9i
    thinks for response.

    Backwards compatibility. Some apps might reference DBA_SNAPHOTS and it would be a PITA to change them. Eventually Oracle might decide that it's a greater PITA for them to keep those views and ditch 'em.

  • How to create the relationship between ESSBASE 11 and DM in OBIEE11

    Hi Experts,
    I have one requirement that there is one property table named 'Store Master' in DW,and it contains a lot of attribute, such as Open Date, Close Date, IS 24 Hour etc.
    But another data source is essbase and based on this source, I create all reports.
    In ESSBASE, it has one dimension and hierarchy Location, and it has four level, Country(L1),Region (L2),Province(L3),Store(L4)
    So I want to know how to create the relationship between Location (ESSBASE) and Store Master (DM).
    I try to create one relationship in physical layer between Gen4,Location and Store, then drag the open date and close date into Location Dimension in BMM,then Presentation Layer.
    When I drag column 'Open Date' ,'Gen4,Location ' and 'Sales' into reports, it will generate the following error message:
    State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 43113] Message returned from OBIS. [nQSError: 43119] Query Failed: [nQSError: 14020] None of the fact tables are compatible with the query request Dim Region.Store Open Date. (HY000)
    However, when I remove the column 'Open Date'. it will be ok.
    So what I missing the steps? Please help me. Thanks.

    '2. Now, pull the 'Store' column from relational DB onto the Gen5, Location column from Essbase. This action now creates, two logical sources for your 'Store' column.'
    If the length from different data source is not same,such as 1001(DM),L_1001(ESSBASE), can I drag the 'Store' column from relational DB onto the Gen5, Location column from Essbase?
    I think it does not work.Right?Hi,
    I am not sure if you are talking about the length(as in varchar(128)) of the member value being different in different sources, or the member itself is different in both the sources.
    I am still assuming, that you are referring to the members not same in both the sources.If it is, the whole concept of federation is based on conforming dimensions. So, it needs that the same dimension information is present in both the sources and then only, you know we can analyze the numbers based on this dimension. So, either the dimension being different in both sources, or the members not present in both the dimensions might lead to incorrect numbers.
    So I select Store Attributes in relation DB and Location in ESSBASE in physical layer, then create the physical join, such as right("Hour Sales"."H_Sales".""."H_Sales"."Gen6,Location",4) = "Authorization".""."EDW"."T_EDW_MDM_STORE"."US_CODE", then drag the OPEN_DATE and CLOSE_DATE in relation DB to Location in ESSBASE in BMM,finially drag them into presentation layer.We create physical layer relationships, to send over the same relation to the underlying database during querying. So, creating a physical relationship between essbase cube and relation database would not help here.
    When you set up this federation, BI Server sends individual queries to each source and maps the conforming dimension members internally.
    Hope I was clear, and this helps.

  • Relationship between logical system and a client

    Hi,
    Our internal notes say that, in order to create a new client, I must do the following:
    1. Create a logical system using BD54. The client name must be SID + "CLNT" + number. In my case, this would be NSPCLNT100.
    2. Create a client using SCC4.
    Questions:
    1. What is the relationship between the client and the logical system?
    2. How does SAP know that client number 100 must be related to NSPCLNT100? I am not specifying this relationship anywhere.
    Thank you in advance for your help.
