Use of Standard Class in Material Master classification

Hello Experts,
Can you please explain me the significance of 'Standard Class' option in classification view of material master?
When I click on F1 it gives following info (which I can't understands completely)
A standard class allows you to access all the information on classification and characteristics for an object when you use the object, without having to select one of the classes it is assigned to.
Can you please elaborate more on this?
Thanks in advance,
Vijay.

Hi Anamika,
Thanks for your feedback.
Actually my question is why there is option of 'Standard Class' provided in classification view. If multiple classes are assigned to given material then we can select only one class as a standard class. What is the use of selecting a class as a standard class??
Thanks in advance,
Vijay.

  • We can´t change the class in Material Master classification Tab (MM02)

    When i trying to delete the class in the Classification tab in PRD System, it triggers the following message
    'Assignment (# material) (classname) can not be deleted' because If you use classification data for selection of components of the BOM. Or if the material still has lots that are classified.
    But in QAS System it is possible to delete the class from Classification tab.
    Can you explain me, why it works in QAS and not in PRD?

    To delete the batch class  from your material, you will need  to first archive the batch (object MM_SPSTOCK).  Once the
    batch are archived and deleted from the system, you may still have to run program RCCLZUOB.  This program looks for objects which are still incorrectly assigned to classes.  First run the program in Test mode (Delete flag is NOT set).
    Then you can set the Delete flag to delete the assignments.  Once the assignments are deleted, you should be allowed to delete the Class assignment in MM02.  You must save the material and then go back in change mode to make a new class assignment.

    I want to know the Database Table name in which the field Class Number

    I know that these tables are stored in the stucture ( RMCLF

    KLART is for Class Type & not for Class number ...
    also i need the table where i can see it ...

  • Pricing based on Material Master Classification

    Hi Guru's,
    Can we have a pricing based on material master classification.
    Scenario: Material can have few characteristic. If we select few of the classification, this should influence pricing.
    Any idea on this, has anybody worked on this before?
    Thanks,
    Anil

    I am not sure about classification, might work with Variant Config.
    Alternatively, you can use split valuation if you don't have many characteristics.
    Hope this helps-

  • Process will not be created with zero standard prices in material master

    Hi,
    I have two type of material;
    1.     In process material say A1
    2.     Finished Goods say B1
    Both materials price control are standard price.  I do not run costing. So , after creation of material master , standerd price has to update through MR21 in the account1 tab before start production .
    Suppose, if I forget to update standard price in material master and prepared process order, it will carry zero value of production cost.
    Hence, I want to restrict the creation of process order with zero standard prices in the material master.
    In order words, as long as standard price will not be updated after creation of the material master, user will not be allowed to create process order, if wrongly try, system will give message u201Cwith zero standard price creation of process order will not be allowedu201D.
    Please let me know either standard configuration or name of User exit or Badi.
    Regards,
    Amit

    Hi,
    You need to use BADI: workorder_update.
    Method: At release.
    check MBEW-STPRS field in the code ..and flag error and reject error if STPRS = 0.

  • Standard Price in material master  and MBEW

    Hi
    We have unique problem. The currency was setup with out decimal places due to some valid reason. Due to which STANDARD PRICE in MATERIAL MASTER  looks alright (lets say 1000) but in MBEW(field STPRS) it is 10.
    I would like use value which is in Material master for calculations  in ABAP program. How can i achieve this? Is there any function module for the same so that I can convert value in MBEW-STPRS to value in material master.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi ,
         Try to use the  following FM's:
    CONVERT_MATPR_TO_MBEW_MTPER
    use the BAPI "BAPI_MATERIAL_GET_DETAIL" and take the price from the Export parameter MATERIALVALUATIONDATA. This parameter points to the structure BAPIMATDOBEW which has all the material price details like :
    Price control indicator
    Moving average price/periodic unit price
    Standard price
    Price Unit
    Currency Key
    ISO code currency
    Hope this solves your problem.
    Thanks,

  • Change History of Material master classification data

    Dear all.
    How can we see the change history of the Material master classification data.
    Whether any standard report exists which can give this Change History data or whether we can find from  any tables?
    Please let me know your thoughts on this

    changes in values for a characteristic can be monitored in CL20N via menu Environment > Change documents
    change history for classification is only stored if you activated this.
    if  it is not set active in your system, then see SAP Note 943559 - FAQ: Frequently asked questions about the classifctn. system
    it has instruction how to active it.

  • Use of profit center in Material master

    Hello Consultants,
    Kindly explain me the use of Profit center in material master in Sales General/Plant and Cisting 1 view?
    Thanks,
    SK

    Hi,
    Generally you use this field of profit center based on the organizational logic decided while implementing the SAP.
    i.e. Suppose, you want to have your profit center with nomenclature as Site (Plant) + Line of Business (LOB). So, according to this logic you map the same line of business with External Merchandise category and concepts (according to your verticals of business). So, whenever you create any transactions related to this article (material), system will pick up profit center from this article master and for common profit center (for expenses such as service tax and other which needs to be done at common and after that distribute through assessment / disrtibution cycle).
    Hope it will clear the purpose of the same from above example. Pls get back for further query.
    Thanks & Regards,

  • Most use ful t code for Material Master changing

    Dear All,
    Can any one give me most useful T-codes for create, change and display material master.
    I have one T-code which is very useful for material master it is "MM50". With help of this tcode you can see material extend detail and also you can delete mass material with help of this tcode.
    So please use it and also give me other this type of tcodes.
    Regards,
    Mahesh Wagh

    Hi,
    MM17, LSMW, MM50 --- These are the 3 main transactions which is used frequently to Mass change the  Material master.
    There is one more option is there using BDC Upload.
    Batch Data Communication or BDC is a batch interfacing technique that SAP developed. It is mainly used for uploading data into the SAP R/3 system. BDC works by simulating the user input from transactional screen via an ABAP program.
    The data input data file will come in the form of a flat file which the user save as file type txt file or prn file from the Microsoft Excel program. An Abaper will create a program to read the text file and upload into the SAP system.
    Transaction -- SHDB will be used to record the change material master. After, the simulation, the Abaper can generate a sample program and modify from there. It makes the programming easier and faster.
    For a BDC upload you need to write a program which created BDC sessions.
    hope you got it. Take a help of  ABAPer for this BDC Upload.
