Adding Plant and Industry Sector

Hello friends
I want to know how to create a plant and industry sector. Are there any transaction codes. I tried to do it from the main menu that shows up when I log on to the ERP system. I even tried through SPRO. But it is not straight forward.
Also after creating the plant and industry sectors are there any other connected things that need to be configured so that I won't keep getting messages saying some thing is not configured etc.,
Any feedback or suggestions will be highly appreciated.
Thanks
Ram

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.

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.

Industry Sector and Material Type list of values in cFolders

Hi,
How to transfer the List of Values for Industry Sector & Material Type from R/3 to cFolders system?
We have R/3 Production system running for the past 3 years. We are implementing cFolders now. While Material creation in cFolders, the List of Values listed for above mentioned fields are not as per R/3 values. Hence we need to change the same LOV in cFolders as per R/3. How to do it?

Hi,
The parameters material type and industry sector are used
to classify a material. They define its possible uses.
For example if you selct indutsry type as retail or mechanical it will classssify the material accordingly. again material type is semifinished then this you can also use as a raw material. In mm02 or MM03 u cant see it.
If you want to see these you can go to SE16 and put table name MARA and can see it.
Hope this will help.

MM01-Industry sector

Hi all,
While creating material code using MM01 i have wrongly put industry sector as OILl.Now i need to change the industry sector. specify which Trasancation Code to be used.
or specify some procedure.

Hi
Industry Sectors
Use
When you create a material master record, you are required to classify the material according to
industry sector and material type.
Like material types, industry sectors have control functions in the R/3 System. For example, it is
a factor determining the screen sequence and field selection [Page 97] in a material master
record. Once you have assigned an industry sector to a material, you cannot change the industry
sector again afterwards.CChheemmiiccaall iinndduussttrryy
MMeecchhaanniiccaall eennggiinneeeerriinngg
Features
The standard R/3 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.
Activities
Your system administrator can define other industry sectors in Customizing for the Material
Master in Define Industry Sectors and Industry-Sector-Specific Field Selection [Ext.].

INDUSTRY SECTOR - CONTROL

Hi,
During creating material master we are giving , industry sector.. is it controls anything?? what will be impacts???

Hi
The industry sector is used to activate / deactivate certain screens / fields specific for that particular industry. You can create your own industry sector or use one which satisfies your needs.
We can define industry sector in SPRO
Path
Spro >Logistics - General>Material Master--> Field Selection --> Define Industry Sectors and Industry-Sector-Specific Field Selection
Standard Settings
The standard SAP R/3 System comes, for example, with the following
industry sectors:
o A for plant engineering and construction
o C for the chemical industry
o M for mechanical engineering
o P for pharmaceuticals
You can change the name of the industry sector (plant engineering and
construction, and so on) and, if necessary, the field input control too
(via the field reference).

Ignificance of the Industry Sector selection in the Material Master

hi all,
We need information on the significance of the Industry Sector selection in the Material Master field. I understand that it can influence field selection and the screen sequence of the material master record. We are particularly interested to know the influence of the industry sector u201CPharmaceutical Industryu201D .
Any inputs would be greatly appreciated.

Hi
Please check follwoing links
[MM01- Industry Sector;
[http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/en/ff/515b3149d811d182b80000e829fbfe/content.htm]
1. Define Industry Sectors and Industry-Sector-Specific Field Selection (transaction OMS3) -> assign a field reference to field selection
2. Maintain Field Selection for Data Screens (transaction OMS9) -> define a specific field selection for a field selection group (for example, depending on industry sector (the field reference appears on the lower table control).
Like the material type, the industry sector also has a control function. When you create a material master record, the industry sector determines:
Which screens appear and in which order
Which industry-specific fields appear on each screen
The industry sector you assign to a material cannot subsequently be changed. In Customizing, you can define new industry sectors and maintain the field reference for field selection control according to your enterprise-specific requirements.
Most data in the material master record can be maintained directly by the user. But some information is automatically updated by the system. When you enter goods movements, for example, the system updates the stock and consumption data. Statistical information, such as the date of original creation and that of the last change, can be invoked with , with the quick-info text Information on material.
Some data in the material master is used for information purposes only, for example, description, size, and dimensions. Other material data has a controlling function in an application. For example, the MRP type controls the MRP procedure and the price control indicator determines which material valuation procedure is used

You can use the function module RFC_READ_TABLE. The tables that you need to read are T137 for industry sector and T134 for material type.

BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA how to ADD a Plant and CHANGE Sales Org. info

Hello All,
I got a working version of the BAPI Changing some data, and i need to take it to the next level.
In some cases I want to ADD a new plant to an existing material.
I filled the Sector, Type and Materialnumber in the BAPIMATHEAD and added the Materialdescription-table.
Since I´m creating I´m not to sure about the FLAGS in BAPIMATHEAD, I marked:
PURCHASE_VIEW
MRP_VIEW
WORK_SCHED_VIEW
STORAGE_VIEW
Naturally I also filled PLANTDATA, I don´t know what to do with PLANTDATAX though, since I want to CREATE a new plant-View to an Existing Material, not change one...
SAP can´t be expecting me to check every field in the PLANTDATAX, can they?
Could somebody indicate what i´m doing wrong?
PS: Is it possible to ADD a plant, and, in the same BAPI-Call, change Salesorg.-Data?
Thanks a bunch for replying!
Kind Regards,
Pieter

after a lot of hours, a friend discovered what I was doing wrong.
I was doing:
lt_unitsofmeasurex-alt_unit = 'X'.
lt_unitsofmeasurex-alt_unit_iso = 'X'.
instead of using the actual unit instead of 'X'

Industry sector in material master

Dear all,
May I know what are the guide lines to select Industry sector to configure material master.
What are all the SAP standard Industry sector available?
Can we use any indutry sector for any type of business. How to choose this.
please advise.
Thanks
Udaya

Hello Udaya,
Branch of industry.
The industry sector groups together companies according to their activities (for example, plant engineering and construction, mechanical engineering, the chemical industry, and the pharmaceutical industry).
Table-driven program support is provided according to industry sector; for example, for the selection of data fields on-screen, for the sequence of the screens, and for the allocation of a material to a material type.
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
which screens appear and in what order
which industry-specific fields appear on the individual screens.
Thanks
Geeta
