Article master-Basic data

Hi,
Presently in article master basic data, some of the fields like manufacturer details ..etc are hidden. Plz suggest path for checking and configuring this basic data as mandatory data in article master.

You will have to go the customization transaction(SPRO).
You will have to check which is the article type for the article created. This can be found from using TCODE: MM43 and checking the article type from the Basic Data.
After u have identified the Article type, you will have to find the screen sequence used by this article type. For this you will have to go to SPRO - Logistics General - Material Master - Configuring the Material Master - Assign Screen Sequence to User/Article Type/Transaction/Industry Sector".
Find the name of the Selection group.
Use TCODE: OMSR
Select the Field you would like to activate
Press on the Green Arrow on the right
Select the property"Display, Optional, Required Entry".
Regards

View document in material master, Basic data 2 screen?

Hello gurus,
How to view a DIR assigned to material master - basic data 2?
According to help.sap.com:
Additional Function for Material Master Record:
In Customizing for the Material Master, you can define a standard document type by choosing Make Global Settings.
- Done this: assigned document type needed, created a DIR with that type and assigned it to a given material
Documents of this standard document type are displayed in the material master record, in the Basic data 2 view (Extras ® Document data).
- Information of the DIR can be seen in the main screen, no path Extras --> Document data (I know DIRs are shown behind menu path Additional data --> Documents)
You can display the original application files of a document (for example, an engineering/design drawing) directly from the object (for example, material) using a display application (viewer).
PROBLEM starts here: no icon or button to click in order to view the document although the help states so.
Any idea what should be done? Should I install a software of some sort to view? Assign it somehow with SAP? The document type here is doc (MS Word), so nothing special.
Any advice is highly appreciated.
BR,
Pipsa

Hello Sam,
Sorry, I think I described the problem inaccurately.
I could see the document already but for that I must follow the path Additional data --> Document data.
My core question was: Is there a means to allow a user to display the document directly in the screen Basic data 2 since system creates a new subscreen called Design documents assigned anyway?
It seems that the design documents assigned is for information purposes only. It would have been far better with usability to have the display icon in the main data.

Multiple EANs per article in Basic Data Maintenance (Retail Master Data)

Hi,
Does anyone know how to prevent users from entering an EAN twice for an article?
Example: EAN 123456789 for article AAA with unit of measure PC cannot be used for the same article AAA with unit of measure CS.
Thanks.

Dear Winnie,
Yes....this is possible and this is pre-requisite condition in Retail Master Data(transacion code MM41)
Go to transaction code OMT4 and change following message number from warning to error.
Application: M3
Message No: 347
Message Text: EAN already used for unit of measure & of this article
If this message is not exist, insert the same.
Bye,

Old material number - Field in Basic Data 1 View Material Master

Hai Techies,
We have a field called old material number - MARA-BISMT in material master basic data 1 view. Is that field is just for reference of old material or does it have any effects in the SAP MM when using the material for purchasing or in BOM or so on.
Could any one please highlight me the consequences of using this field to refer a old material number for the new number created.
Thanking you in advance.
Regards,
Kris.S

Hello Kris,
Number under which you have managed the material so far or still manage it,
for example, in another system or in a card index.
You can use the old material number to systematically search for material
master records via matchcodes.
Your understanding for the use of this field is correct.

Default data for article master -Purchasing/Logistics view

Hello,
What is the difference between below configuration settings:
1. Logistics general --> Basic data retail --> General control, retail master data --> tab Control parameters for article master --> field 'vendor default data'
2. Logistics general --> Business Partner --> Vendor --> controls --> Define account groups --> go to details --> tab default values
Are these settings intended for same purpose ( e.g. copy default data from vendor master to article master) ?
Thanks,
Pat.

Found the answer
Copying of Data from the Vendor Master to Purchasing Data
All changes that you make to the reference data in the vendor master record are copied to the purchasing data in the article master record if the system is configured accordingly in Customizing for Business Partners in Define Account Groups and Field Selection for Vendors.
Copying of Data from the Vendor Master to Logistics Data
The changes are also copied to the site-specific logistics data if the vendor is either the sole vendor or the regular vendor and if the system is configured accordingly in Customizing for Logistics Basic Data: Retail in General Control, Retail Master Data. For more information, see Vendors: Copying Changes to Other Data Records.

LSMW change article master data

Dear All,
As I am new in Retail, i need to know detail steps how to perform LSWM (IDOC method) to change material master (MM42)
providing that needed fields are article code - vendor - purchase organization .. and the field to be changed is tax code located in purchasing view.
Or there is another method to mass change for these materials.
Appreciating your quick response,
Thanks..

You have multiple options of how to create an LSMW project to maintain Article Master data within SAP.
You can use the IDOC method using message type ARTMAS Basic Type ARTMAS05, you can use standard input or direct input with object 020 Article Master Method 0000 - program RMDATIND and even BAPI with BUS1001001 Retail article
What you will need to do is work through each of the process steps within after defining the object attributes which include defining the source structure and fields (i.e. you flag file structure) and mapping the source structure fields to the target structure (I.E. IDoc fields) and then specifying the location of the flat file.
If you need more specific details you might want to check out SAP - Press.com website and search for the book Migrating Your SAP Data.
http://www.sap-press.com/products/Migrating-Your-SAP-Data-%282nd-Edition%29.html
there are websites that have some high level details but each project is unique you might not be able to get the exact layout of what you need but they can provide you with some starting places.

Insert article picture in article master data

Hi,
I need to insert article picture in article master data, can anybody suggest me how can i do that. In article master data Basic data tab page i am unable to see the screen data view. Is there any possible way to view the article picture by placing the cursor in the article number.
Thank you
Kumar

no no thats not true.
But at the moment the screens sequence fashion assigned to article type FASH has this subscreen activated.
For standard Retail users with screen sequence 23, the admin or consultant has to put the new screen on the basic data view.
The logic works for retail only, but if you follow the instruction for customer own subscreen (see note) you can copy the retail screen, adjust some standard PBO PAI modules and ready to go.
But remark, you will loos support if you use Retail functionality in MM systems.

Using TREX for Material master for longtext (basic data) and classification

Hi together,
I am only having some basic know how about TREX.
We want to use TREX for quick search in Material master long texts (like basic data and so on) and also for searching in characteristic values of material master (tab: classification).
The TREX is successfull installed and It was possible for me to create an index for Material BUS1006001 in SES_ADMIN and search the material in this transaction by TREX. I also find the index in TREX_ADMIN "green".
But there I could only use the attributes of the standard business objects (for example describtion of material master = short text).
Now I want to use the long texts and the classification. What do I have to do in SES_ADMIN or somewhere else? Actually I only want to use the functionality in SAP GUI. If I know how to make the indixes I could program an own F4-Help for this in ABAP.
Can anybody help me?
Thanks a lot.
Florian

Hi Florian,
SES_ADMIN is the admin cockpit of the Search Engine Service (SES).
SES-based solutions usually include searching the long text. Just test!
SES-based solutions usually do not include searching via classification.
The successor framework of SES is "Embedded Search".
Embedded Search is available with NW 7.01, corresponding to ERP 6.04. For details see SAP note 1254901
Classification is supported by Embedded Search with NW 7.02, corresponding to ERP 6.05.
ERP 6.05 is in unrestricted availability since summer 2011.
If the customer can not upgrade to ERP 6.05, there is a preliminary SES-based solution for searching via classification.
The solution can only be provided via SAP PLM consulting.
Kind regards, Klaus Irle
