Approval for Material Master Creation !

Dear All ,
My requirement is to have approval process for Material master. is it possible.?
My Client is expecting approval process same like PO ( release strategy )
Is there any standard approval  process for every masters which are  created as part of MM transactions.
Can it  be achieved by means of any workflow.?
Thanks
Jinoy

Hi,
Yes it can be achieved by Work flow & also through the Enterprise Portal development.
If you have Workflow consultant you can take a help in setting up the approval for Material master creation.
If you want high fund & centralization of Material master you can go for EP development but Cost & effort will be on higher side.
Discuss with your Workflow consultant he will help you.

  • LSMW for material master upload

    Hi gurus
    i have one problem while uploading material master with LSMW.
    I have murged 2 company codes in one so while creating material master system is asking me tax classification data in sales view for 2 country sales org and distrubition channel. I am using sap std LSMW for material master creation.
    system is giving me error as " tax classification data not maintained completely".
    need your valuable help to solve this problem

    Tax classification data is mandatory field in Sales view of MM01.
    Check out you mapping for the tax classification fields. usually classification value is 0 OR 1.
    You can first test the values in MM01 Sales View with the legacy data you have and this way you will able to find the mandatory fields also and can see the valid values for the fields.
    Remember you may have more than one Tax Classification values depending on the country code.
    For that you can add those many columns in legacy data file and map them.
    Hope it helps.

  • Material Master creation workflow

    Hi everyone....
    Last week I went on the BIT601 training course and I'm now tryinig to create my first workflow for material master creation, so please forgive my rather noobish questions. I think this must be a common workflow but I'm sure every company has a different process.
    My process is as follows:
    - User creates basic data view for material master in MM01.
    - Workflow is triggered when material is saved.
    - Work item arrives in inbox of master data enigneer who completes all material master views.
    - Mail is sent to workflow initiator to inform that material is complete.
    - End of workflow
    I have defined the start event CREATED from business object BUS1001006 in my workflow definition. I have defined a standard task for the first step in my workflow using bus object BUS1001006 with method Create. The workflow starts correctly however ...
    My question is how do I get the material number to pull through to my first step? I am assuming I need to setup some binding to pull the material number into the workflow container? 
    Can someone please point in the right direction.
    Many thanks,
    Neil

    wow, thanks for the super quick reply Rob!
    I figured it must be some binding I had not done.
    So ... I go to my Start events in my workflow header, I see I have only the "auto-generated" binding i.e. EVTCREATOR > WFINITIAOR ....
    now, I see EVTOBJECT as a possible container object from the event side of the window (left hand side) but what do I link it too? I was kinda expecting to see my business object as a possible container object in the workflow side of the screen (right hand side).
    I really hope that makes sense... If I understand correctly, the idea is to link the event object to the business object container element ... but if thats the case why can't I see my business object in the workflow side of the binding window?
    Many thanks for taking the time to help a noob
    [edit] ... I may have partially answered my own question ... I think I need to define the properties of my business object in my workflow container element such that its is an input field? ...
    I'm going home now... will carry on with this in the morning.

  • Workflow to approve Material Master creation

    Dear all,
    I would like to create workflow to approve Material Master creation as below:
    When Material is created -> Check & Approval (Yes) -> Material is active
                           -> Check & Approval (No)   -> Material is inactive
    How can I do that?
    Could you pls help me to solve this?
    Thanks,
    CH

    Hi,
    Before designing the workflow, you need to find what is the business object and what is the event which gets triggered when material master is created... you can do that using event trace....
    1. SWELS - switch on trace
    2. Create material
    3. SWEL - check trace to find which event is fired
    This will give you business object name..
    Now start building workflow using SWDD... Go thru basic steps for designing workflow...

  • Creation of New T Code for Material Master

    HI,
    I have to create a new T Code for Material Master Change i.e. for MM02, with writing restrictions to few fields. How to achieve this? 
    Thanks and Regards,
    Hari Prasad.

    Hi Hariprasad,
    If restricting certain fields using field selection option is not suitable for you, you can go ahead with the option Screen Variend

  • Avoiding non required view for material master

    Hi,
    If I do not wan to tuse all the views then how can avoid them at the time of creation of material.I mean system should only show me the views relevant for me.
    What is the customization setting required to be done in IMG ?/
    Thx in advance
    Regards,
    manOO

    Hi Manoo,
    1.
    Material master creation activity is generally carried out by a central team.
    The process flow is generally -
    1.Creation of Basic data views,
    2.Creation of other views (Like purchasing, Accounting etc)
    So idelly i do not see any need to restrict views as the central team is generally aware of the process flow and responsibilities.
    2. Alternatively, you can set "Default View" for any particular user ID.
    From Consulting point of view, this should not lead to any development as this could be a matter of User discipline.
    from OMS2 you can remove the view for a particular material type and which may not be correct.

    Hello TJK,
    <b>FB012 Session 1 : Special character for 'empty field' is /</b>
    This is the special function in LSMW, for empty field system will put / sign automatically, so you need not to worry about that.
    <b>FB007 Session 1 session name ZPROJ was opened</b> It is opening session ZPROJ which is your project name/object name.
    <b>FB109 Trans. 1 : Transaction xd01 is not supported</b>
    Check out your field mapping and conversion rule for object.
    <b>FB013 ....Editing was terminated</b>
    It is not finding proper field mapping rule / file inputs so the sytem terminates the LSMW object.
    Check your field mapping and conversion rule, check your source fields, save the file in tab delimited format.
    Hope this helps.

  • BAPI for Material master update

    Hello,
    I need to upload and change data to the classification screen of Material master (MM01/02). I am thinking of using BAPI_CHARACT_CREATE and BAPI_CHARACT_CHANGE. Can we use BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA to upload and change characteristic data for material master(MM01/02)?
    Can anybody provide me some sample code for mass upload and mass change of characteristic data to material master?
    Thanks in advance

    Hi Rajesh,
    You can use standard SAP program <b>RCCLBI03</b> to do mass upload.
    Please check the program documentation for more information.
    Also you can take a look this BAPI/FM.

  • SRM and MDM for material master in SRM contracts for multiple R/3

    Dear all,
    my question is:
    We are implementing SRM 4.0 in classic scenario with multiple R/3 back-end and we want to set-up Global Outline Agreements in SRM in a multi-backend environment where the Material Master are not harmonized.
    We heard that MDM and COntent Integraton can be a solution.
    Then detailled question is:
    Can we have 2 material numbers (e.g. ABC and XYZ) in 2 different R/3 systems refering the same product.
    Have the mapping done in MDM (Content Integrator?) to a third material number:123
    Replicating the material master 123 to SRM from MDM(?)
    Create global Outline Agreements in SRM for Material Master 123.
    Distribute the GOA as Outline Agreement to R/3 system 1 with the translation to ABC and to R/3 system 2 with the translation XYZ, all of that during the distribution step (or another).
    Have the call-offs quantities correct on 123 in SRM and BW?
    IF yes, how is it working, do you have some documentation discribing the scenario and the config steps to do?
    Thanks in avance

    Hello RD,
    That's a good question.
    You are on the right way. MDM is the tool for you.
    But..
    Content Integrator (CI) was first developped for Shell, to address the need of cross-referencing of material/supplier/category IDs, for:
    - reporting purpose (actual Spend Analysis)
    - mapping purpose (send of XML PO)
    CI was later "fusionned" into the new MDM (1.0) solution.
    So now, you can not order CI without MDM (even if some SRM slides still present CI).
    But mapping API where developped for all inboud/outbound interfaces in SRM, for materials only (good luck for you).
    You will find everywhere this piece of code:
      Call ECI
        CALL FUNCTION 'BBP_PRODUCT_MAP'
          TABLES
            it_input          = lt_mapping_in
            et_output         = lt_mapping_out
          EXCEPTIONS
            logsys_not_found  = 1
            driver_not_found  = 2
            product_not_found = 3
            internal_error    = 4
            OTHERS            = 5.
    So it is ok, you have the mapping call, but I don't know if all the rest of the process was really "finalized" (call of API mapping in CI, via XI). I personnaly never used it, but I assume it should work.
    I my opinion your process is supported by SAP:
    - Extract materials from both R/3 and consolidate them as a single product in MDM.
    - Distribute this product into SRM.
    - Maintain contracts on those products.
    - Distribute them to R/3 (The ECI call is also used during contract distribution).
    - Call offs corrects in SRM and BW
    For MDM documentation, look at netweaver area of service.sap.com.
    For MDM/SRM integration, look at SRM 4.0 spend analysis:
    https://websmp206.sap-ag.de/~sapdownload/011000358700004424262004E/GlobalSpendOverview.ppt
    For SRM contract distribution, call-offs, BW, look at SRM in details in service.sap.com/srm/SRM4.0:
    https://websmp206.sap-ag.de/~sapdownload/011000358700001966382004E/contracten.ppt
