Archive the material master : Object RL_LUBU

Hi Folks,
we are archiving the material.
Error : WM stock transfer (from/to material) exists
Diagnosis : Entries in Table LUBU (Posting Chaneg Document)
Solution : Use the archiving object RL_LUBU in SARA.
Queries :
1) This Object does not give material nos to choose. Entire table is selected. How to come over this ?
2) Can there be any possible reasons for this error ?
Your inputs would be really helpful.
Regards

Hello,
Usually PCNs will created automatically by the system, when you do a stock category change.
First you try to process the PCN using LT05 , if it is giving any error , go to LU02 and enter you PCN number and change the status to Processesed(U). Before doing this make sure to check the IM & WM stocks and close the PCN.

Dear All,
I am trying to delete (Archiving) the materials using MM71 and SARA but I am not able to execute the same.
what is correct step by step procedure.
Thanks and Regards.
Prakash.

The Archiving steps :-
Archiving object MM_MATNR for archiving material master records.
You can display the archived data, but not reload it.
1. To archive the material master, first goto transaction MM71.
2. Type in a variant name and click Maintain. (Tick the Test Mode for archive simulation).
3. Save the variant.
4. Maintain the Start date and Spool parameters and click execute.
5. Click Goto Job Overview to check the archive status.
To do a permanent delete, goto transaction SARA and click Delete button.
1. Maintain the Archive Selection, Start date and Spool parameters.
2. Click Test Session for testing or click execute to start the deletion program.
3. Click Goto Job Overview to check the delete status.
Now, if you goto MM02/MM03, you will not be able to find the record in the material master.
Hope this will help you
Enjoyyyyyyyyyy

Authorisation object for "PO text in the material master"

Hi,
My requirement is as below:
"All users can see the Purchase Order Text as usual, but only a few users should be allowed to create / change the PO Long Text.
For other users, the same should appear in display mode only (both in creation & in change mode, MM01 & MM02)."
Please let me know, How to map this.
As per my knowledge thsi is possible only thru authorisation. But I want to know what is the authorisation object for "PO text in the material master" (Pl note that only for PO text in the material master field). we want control on "PO text of material master"
Regards.
Chinna

Hi,

Discontinuation process of the material master for archiving

Hi,
The material(ex:100) has the stocks in the Inventory.There is a PO with open quantity for the material(ex:100).In such case we can not archive the material.
So we have to do the discontinuation process.Is it right! or the discontinuation process is only for the retail industry (fashion).
Please let me know discontinuation process in detail.
Once the discontination process is done ,we can archive the material.
Note:I know the Archiving process using the Transaction SARA.I want to know only about the discontinuation process.
thanks,
sasi

Hi Shankar,
Did you run MRP already, so that system can transfer the remaining dependent requirements (after available for planning stock of discontinued material is set to 0) to the follow up material?

in standard batch/ direct input
firsr radio button

Screen Level Security for the Material Master

We need to create security for the material master by screen views. The Purchasing group needs to be able to change the Purchasing and MRP screens but none of the other screens. How would we accomplish this with SAP security?
Thanks!

Janet,
It is hard for us to know how your authorization profiles or roles are constructed. You really should consult your local authorization expert.
The Authorization object you are looking for is M_MATE_STA. It is probably contained in at least one of your Roles or Profiles that are currently assigned to your MM maintenance people. At a minimum, it should exist in standard SAP profile M_MATE_ALL in your system. You can review all of these types of authorization info in the User Information System (transaction SUIM).
You would have to create roles or profiles that narrowly define the "User department" fields for M_MATE_STA object. You would also have to search for existing roles/profiles that contain "*" in this field, and determine if these entries are still appropriate in your new authorization business process you want to begin.
Below is the SAP help about this authorization object
M_MATE_STA
Definition
Maintenance status authorization for material master records
The data contained in a material master record is divided into user departments or views (Purchasing, MRP, and so on). The maintenance status is a single-character key for the relevant user department or view.
This object determines which user departments or views a user is authorized to process; that is, which data he or she may process from this view.
                                                                                Note
To use material master functions, a user needs the authorization for at least one user department.
Defined Fields
Fields               Possible values      Meaning
ACTVT                01                   User may create data.
                     02                   User may change data.
                     03                   User may display data.
                     06                   User may flag data for deletion.
                     08                   User may display change documents.
STATM                                     Here, you specify the maintenance status for which the user is authorized.
The maintenance statuses possible are as follows:
User department                Maintenance status
Work scheduling                   A
Accounting                        B
Classification                    C
MRP                               D
Purchasing                        E
Production resources/tools        F
Costing                           G
Basic data                        K
Storage                           L
Forecasting                       P
Quality management                Q
Warehouse management              S
Sales                             V
Plant stocks                      X
Storage location stocks           Z
Notes
This authorization object also determines:
o   Whether a user may flag a material master record for deletion. In this case, 06 must be entered in field ACTVT; the maintenance status is irrelevant here.
o   Whether a user may change the material type. In this case, 02 must be entered in field ACTVT; the maintenance status is irrelevant here.
o   Whether a user may process an MRP profile or forecast profile. In this case, the following values must be entered in field ACTVT:
-   01 to create
-   02 to change or delete
-   03 to display
The maintenance status must be D for the MRP profile or P for the forecast profile.
o   Whether a user may create an overview of all extendable materials. In this case, 01 must be entered in field ACTVT; the maintenance status is irrelevant here.
o   Whether a user may call up the materials list. In this case, 03 must be entered in field ACTVT; the maintenance status is irrelevant here.
o   Whether a user may create or change production versions from task lists. In this case, 02 must be entered in field ACTVT, and A in field STATM.

Tracking changes in the material master

Hi All,
I have a material master 123456.
In this I have batch_class 023 type. I have a characteristic COLOUR which is assigned to the batch_class.
For this characteristic there are 2 options RED and BLACK.
When I created the material master I had assigned RED colour. I did some transaction also.
After 2 days when I went inside the material master, I found BLACK insteadof RED.
I want to know who did this changes? I am not able to track this from the mm03--material master changes.
How do i track the changes?
Regards,
Narendra Bora

in MM04 i think you may not be able to find the classification changes.
i wouls suggest you to activate change logs on AUSP table a prerequisite of change logs is activating multi object assignments. This entails running program RCCLUKA2 which converts KSSK and AUSP to internal number (more information on the program/procedure can be found in the documentation of the program).
this can help you to find the change log on the classificaiton values.

Reference a document in the material master

I'm wondering if anyone can suggest a way that we can do the following....
We basically want to have a field/location in the Material Master that will reference a document stored somewhere on a network server and in turn, display and print on the PO (the document name prints, not the contents). Any suggestions of where to start?
So in the MM for Material # 123456
MyField = "MyInspectionDoc.pdf" (MyInspectionDoc.pdx resides on \\mynetworkserver\MyInspectionDoc.pdf)
Or
Is there a way to have an attachment in the MM that will automatically be pulled into the PO when the PO is created (with the material item as a line item in the PO of course)

I think you are mixing DMS (document management) with GOS (generic object services)
GOS content is created as shown in your screen shots.
You cannot even see from any transaction which materials have a GOS attachment. The GOS attachment can only be accessed from the object (material master) where it was created.
DMS is a central component in SAP and embedded to the material master like it is done with classification too.
You can create the documents in CV01N transaction and link to the material or directly from material master. you can use CV04N to search for documents
In the material master you will find the link to the document in alternative data tab where you have as well your alternative units.
This screen looks like this one:
Those material master attachments/documents do not print automatically in a PO, for this you have to do some ABAP development

New Text in the Sales Text View in the Material Master

Hi All,
I want to create new text ID in the material master sales text tab
Can you please help me in how to create the new text for material master sales text tab view.
Regards
Rajesh

Well it may not be possible by standard SAP to create in Material.
AN alternative might be to use a standard text type and then call it in your Text Determination Procedure.
T-code "SO10" --> Give "Text Name & Text ID & Language --> Click at "Create" --> On next screen --> Go to (Menu) --> change editor --> Write the text which you want
Go to VOTXN , and maintain the required confirguation to get this standard Text copied to the material during order processing.

Open field for cost center on the material master

We have a unique requirement in a facility we intend to implement plant maintenance in to track a cost center to a material by including the cost center on the material master somewhere. Cost center is not a field on any of the material tabs we use for maintenance materials, but the requirement is just that it is tracked in a field, even if it's just an open field like a "user defined field" or another field not used often. We realize there are disadvantages such as the field not being checked against active cost centers, but we are looking at options short of adding cost center as a field manually to a tab (which I believe would require ABAP assistance). I don't think there are any other fields/tabs we are currently not utilizing but I could be wrong... The best option we can think of is adding it in a material characteristic so it shows on the classifications tab, but I thought I would see if anyone has any other ideas.
Thanks

Not sure what is the need of cost center on material master when you want to implement Plant maintenance module. Do you have any specific requirement for this?
Ideally cost center will be derived from either functional location/ equipment (equivalent of material master) on to PM work order or notification.
Can you elaborate the requirement?
After all if you wish to go with cost center, then I suggest it should be at plant level as PM requires plant level distribution. You can add up a custom field and give the reference of cost center data element with help of developer.

Error while creatting the Material Master IDOC in ERP 2005

Hello All,
I am trying to create scenario from RFID-Enabled Outbound Processing - Conf Guide (SAP AII 4.0).
I am using Auto ID 4.0 on a NW04s system. The backend is a ERP2005 system.
The scenario requires that I need to create a material in the backend and send it to the NW04s system using IDOCs.
After completing the configuration on the backend, I tried sending the Material Master IDOC to Auto ID from the transaction AIDMM. I get a message that IDOC is just being created. But I could not find it in the transaction WE02.
On debugging I found that the function MARD_GENERIC_READ_MATNR_PLANT resulted in error.
Thanks for any kind of input.
Regards,
Rahul

Dear,
Check ABAPer for file settings.
- CANNOT_SKIP_ATTRIBUTE_RECORD : The attributes could not be read in the EPS parcel. The file cannot be opened for reading, because it may have been deleted in the meantime.
- CANNOT_DETERMINE_EPS_PARCEL : The EPS parcel is not in the EPS Inbox, because it may have been deleted. You must download the relevant patch again (for example, Hot Package).
- CANNOT_DETERMINE_DATA_FILES : The name of a data file could not be determined, because a profile parameter was not correctly configured. Check the settings using the report RSPARAM.
- CANNOT_DISASSEMBLE_R_DATA_FILE : An R3trans data file could not be unpacked. A possible error source is that the relevant EPS parcel was not found. The data file could not be opened for writing. An error occurred when transmitting a 20K block from the EPS Inbox to the directory /usr/sap/trans/data (UNIX).
- CANNOT_DISASSEMBLE_D_DATA_FILE : An ADO data file could not be unpacked. The reasons are the same as with the message CANNOT_DISASSEMBLE_R_DATA_FILE .
- CANNOT_CREATE_COFILE : The cofile could not be created from the relevant data file. One possible error source is that <sys>adm does not have write authorization for the directory /usr/sap/trans/cofiles (UNIX).
Check Note: 70752.

Plant specific fields in the material master for product move

Hi, SAP gurus,
My scenario is we are moving a existing product in US plant to Brazil plant. What are the fields in the material master that are specific to a plant that will change. For ex MRP controller will change from plant to plant. Like that can anybody please provide me a list of fields that i need to be looking at?
Thank you
Anusha

Hi Anusha,
First of all, list down all your materials those you want to extend to new plant.
a) Secondly, pay attention to those fields you will find "filled" in those materials at plant level.
b) MARC comes handy for you to analyse which fields are at plant level.
Intersection of fields with values between a and b are the ones you need to work out.
Good luck,
Regards

For a PR, check the material master

Hi,
I have a basic question.
