Altering Material Manufacturer Part #

Hello, i am trying to determine best practice for the scenario below.   here is the example.
Material: 12345
Manufacturer: Nike
Manufactuer part number: 23
We are now switching to a Reebok item that is identical to Material #12345 but is obviously from a different manufactuer (reebok) and has a different MPN (19).
is it best practice to create a new Material number when switching manufacturers and part numbers?  If not how can we keep the same material # without losing the history of the previous MPN?
thanks

The material number in SAP can remain the same since any purchases will be distinguished by the fact that a different vendor was used for the purchase.  It is common to procure the same materials from different vendors.

  • "Wrong" material number when using manufacturer part number

    Hello gurus,
    when I create a new material, first the system gives me a new material number according to the given number range of the material type, let's say 100000002. So far, so good.
    But when I enter a manufacturer part number (e.g. 123456789) and press enter, the material number changes to 00000000000000000000000000000000100000002. And when I save the material master, the number is 123456789, allthough that number is not even allowed concerning the number range.
    What's wrong here? Is this a bug or a feature? In my view the manufacturer part number should never overwrite our own material number!
    Thanks
    Alicia

    What Material type you are Using for Creating Manufacturer Parts?? Its HERS and the Number Range for HERS Material type is Internal.
    If you Want to Maintain externally then you have to Define new external no range and assign to HERS.
    When you Select HERS you can see the Basic Text and Purchasing Views alone. In that You have to enter Desc of Mfg part and Input Original Material no.
    Here is the Process for Manufacturer Part Profile :
    Create External No ranges for Vendor Account Group MNFR and save.
    Now Create Each Make / Manufacturer like ABB as one Vendor in XK01 Trxn code.
    Create Material Code original say XXXX in MM01 with ROH material type. (for eg Transistor which is available with ABB & Seimens make)
    Create material code for ABB make say 11with Material type HERS which contain only two views (Basic Data & Purchasing) and give Make, Original material No & Material group and other details and save.
    Create material code for Seimens make say 12with Material type HERS which contain only two views (Basic Data & Purchasing) and give Make, Original material No & Material group and other details and save.
    Create a Purchase order with original Material XXXX, then it will ask for mnfg part profile then select the material and click F4 on it it will show you the created mfg part nos like ABB 11 & seimes 12 and select one and save.
    Prerequisite is you have to Activate Mfg part profile in OMPN trxn code
    And in Material master Purchasing View Select the mfg part profile and save
    Even if you set the Mfg part number in Display mode in SPRO settings system will throw the same error.
    Now What can be done is :
    Either go to ME21N and Select material tab after inputting and press f4 and select Manufacturer part number options then system will showe the list of mfg part number maintained to that material select the desired and save.
    Else go to MM02 Purchasing View and in Mfg part Profile tab there must be a four charecter profile assigned to field Remove this and save.
    The Second option is not a good practice.

  • MM03 material search by manufacturer part number

    Dear Experts,
    is it possible to search a material by manufacturer part number (field MFRPN in MARA, appears in Purchasing view)?
    If not, how difficult is it to adapt the search function to include this field?
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Sergei

    Hi Sergei,
    Have you read the IMG notes for the node Logistics - General -> Material Master -> Tools -> Maintain Search Helps? They explain how to add search helps to material master. The search helps by MPN available in SAP standard are included in the collective search help MAT1_MPN that you can append to MAT1.

  • Material Part number or Manufacturer Part number

    Hi Gurus,
    1. Is there any difference between Material Part number and Manufacturer Part number?
    2. Is Material Part number maintained in material master? If yes, where can I find it?
    Thanks in advance.

    Refer below link

    I think Material Part number  & Material number both are same.

  • SRM Material master search with Old material number or Manufacturing Part Number

    Hello,
    We have requirement to search SRM material with ECC old material number or  Manufacturing Part Number. Is it possible to enable this option in SRM.
    We are implementing SAP SRM 7.02.

    Hi Madhan,
    The quick win can be to amend product search help to do RFC to ECC for old mat number.

  • Search contract by supplying vendor or manufacture part number

    Hi,
    We have a requirement to keep manufacturer vendor and manufacture part
    number on purchase order.
    Example:
    Vendor (purchasing): 1000010
    Vendors (Manufacturer): AAA, BBB
    Internal Material number: 71000010
    Manufacturer part number: 61000001 (AAA), 61000002(BBB)
    two contracts for 1000010, one with supplying vendor AAA, the other is
    with BBB.
    However, when trying to create a PO(ME21N), contracts can not be
    searched by supplying vendors.  If search by internal material number,
    both contracts show up and user can't tell the difference because they
    don't show manufacturer part number or supplying vendor.  Pls advice. 
    Thanks!

    You can search your caontract by internal number and than in the document overview you can change the layout which can show the MPN mateiral number
    so based on the MPN material use rcan select the appropriate contract
    send me your mail to this forum and i will send you the scrren shot

  • Manufacturer Part cycle AMPL Error

    Hi Gurus,
    I am testing the MPN cycle where
    My internal  material number is A00001 (2 MP material A00001_1 , A00001_2 with mat type HERS )
    I am buying this from vendor 100328 (ac group 0001)
    where there are 2 source of the material  manufacturer 100699 and 100700
    these two manufacturer master created with account group MNFR (XK01)
    Now 100699 has 2 manufacturing plant  Chennai plant & Mumbai Plant
    As per standard SAP document partner roles For manufacturing plant is HS but in my system only MP is available
    So I created 2 master record for manufacturing plants i.e Chennai_ Plant and Mumbai_ Plant and assign these two with vendor 100699 as MP partner role
    In my manufacturer Part profile Z001 Checking Rule for Manufacturer/Manufacturer Plant is active (i.e value 1)
    Now when I am creating AMPL for material A00001 and entering manufacturing plant it is showing the error
    Assignment of manufacturer plant CHENNAI_PLANT to manuf.  will not be checked
    Message no. MPN115
    I think System is checking with partner role HS but Only MP is available in SAP and also unable to create partner role HS
    In customizing
    So please help its very much a client demand
    Thankinh you

  • Impact of enabling Manufacturer Part Number feature

    Hi,
    Please note that I would like to activate Manufacturer Part Number (MPN) of SAP. I want
    to record MPN no of own material, Manufaturer detail in material master.
    This is for recording those details in MMR. The point is that when I activate MPN indicator in OMT0
    then only mfr part number, Manufact, mfr part profile fields are appearing.
    What is the impact of it?
    So please provide your comments on the same.
    Regards,
    Parthasarathi K
    Edited by: Partha MM on Jul 16, 2011 10:32 AM

    Activate the MPN in OMT0.
    In OMT3B, select 21 screen seq, and click on data screen, select purchasing and click on subscreen, and replace the screen no 0001 with 2313, then you will get the same in purchasing view for all material types.
    REAL TIME SCENERIO: When the parts are manufactured at a plant and procured at that time, in case if any defective piece is there or any problem arises, at that time, the vendor confirms the rejection for the Manufacture part number, so it is entered in the MMR.
    You can see the settings here also: SPRO --> MM --> Purchasing --> MM --> Define manufg,. part profiles, this is used to define the profiles.

  • Manufacturer Part number HERS

    This has reference to MPN - HERS
    I have followed exactly as per this link.
    Manufacturer Part No Problem
    1) I have the own material number maintained with manf part profile 'MFG1'
    2) HERS material has the own material assigned with Manf vendor
    3) Manf part profile has been activated
    4) MOP1 transaction has been maintained for own materials
    When I create a PO with own material - what really should happen. I do not see any columns or popo up with manf part materials.
    Please highlight how to accomplish this.
    Best Regards

  • Manufacturer part number to appear on when creating a request for quotation

  • Manufacturer Part number MFRPN

    Manufacturer Part Number (MFRPN) is not available for mapping in BAPI_PO_CREATE1 whereas it is  available in BAPI_PO_CREATE. If you have selected item from material master in SRM and you are using BAPI_PO_CREATE1, in R/3 it reads the MFRPN from material master and displays over PO. But if you have selected item from Catalog, the MFRPN is missing in PO.
    We are in SRM 5.0 with backend system  ECC 5.0  and we are forced to use BAPI_PO_CREATE1  where in MFRPN is not availbale.

    Hi Gonçalo,
    The standard transaction does not display this field. There is not any customizing setting in MIGO which can make this field visible when posting a goods movement.
    You might want to think about the possibility of using a transaction variant (SHD0).
