Attaching u0093material photou0094 on the user tab of the material master transacti

All,
We are exploring a solution for attaching “material photo” on the user tab of the material master transactions - MM01/MM02/MM03 in ECC6.0.
Please review the questions outlined below from the client -
- Is it feasible to attach a “photo” of material to the user TAB of transactions MM01/MM02/MM03.
- What’s the performance impact on the online transaction?
- What’s the storage impact of having photo attached to the materials?
- Where and how is the “gif or jpg” image of the material stored?  As a file on UNIX?
- Can a small “photo area” be added user tab?
- Does this require extensive programming or configuration to achieve this?
- How much of time would something like this require to setup?
If anyone has worked on similar requirements, request you to respond at the earliest.
Regards
Deepthi.

Hi Deepthi,
- Is it feasible to attach a “photo” of material to the user TAB of transactions MM01/MM02/MM03.
Yes its feasible
- What’s the performance impact on the online transaction?
There would definitely be impact on performance. The impact would depend on the Size of the Image file to be uploaded. So you need to do a performance analysis for various Size of Image file & select the one which doesn’t have much impact on performance & also has a good quality resolution of image
- What’s the storage impact of having photo attached to the materials?
SAP as such wont have any impact except the additional space required to store the images
- Where and how is the “gif or jpg” image of the material stored?  As a file on UNIX?
You can store it using transaction SMW0
- Can a small “photo area” be added user tab?
Programmatically yes. It would be a custom container in which you would be uploading the photo
- Does this require extensive programming or configuration to achieve this?
No idea whether it can be achieved through some config. Settings.
Programmatically it’s possible. Yes, it requires extensive programming. You need to maintain a table with Material No. & photo name. Accordingly you need to build the logic to upload the image. This works mostly on the Class CL_GUI_PICTURE & its methods.
Sample programs
SAP_PICTURE_DEMO
SAP_PICTURE_DEMO_ICON
RSDEMO_PICTURE_CONTROL
- How much of time would something like this require to setup?
Well if the image size is defined, then it should take max. 15 working days to develop the same
Best regards,
Prashant

    Hi Friends ,
    I am very thankful to u all for your quick response,
    I have tested the two materials with two movement types of 601 and 954.
    when i did the 601 movement type the consumption tab in the material master has updated automatically even though  i haven't maintained forecasting tab, but where as for the movement type 954 the consumption tab is not updated even though i have maintained forecasting tab view in the material master.
    Is the consumption view will update based on the Material movement types?
    where is the control parameter for updating consumption tab?

  • 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.

  • 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

  • "Conditions" button at the material master - Change the related condition

    There is "Conditions" button at the material master ("Sales: sales org. 1" tab). We can make condition record of PR00 by this button but at our system the condition for the material price is different (it isZPR0 at our system). How can I change the related condition type as ZPR0 for this button?
    Thanks in advance for the answers....

    Check program LMGMMF0Q and FUNCTION SD_COND_GET_DEFAULT_CONDITION for details.
    It looks it is hard coded, but they also mention that Via a user exit (business transaction event), the
    default KSCHL and KOTABNR can be set.

  • 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.

  • Help needed in seeing the material master.

    Hi all,
    How can i see the sales area info in a system. i.e. what material is assigned to what sales area, the mapping between the sales org., distr. channel, division and plants? I ask this because when I see some tabs/views in mm03, it asks me the sales area info and I dont know what to give there.. so in effect i get to see only some views in the material master.
    Thanks,
    Charles.

    Hi Charles,
       If you want to know all those materials which have a Sales View, you can go to
    MARA table and search for all those materials that have  a 'V' in MARA-PSTAT field. Later you can use MM03 to see the sales data for that materials.
    Procedure:
    se16 transaction.
    Give V in PSTAT field n selection criteria. and execute.

  • Accounting & costing view in the material master

    hi
    my client wanted to block the accounting & costing view in the material master for the end users
    what i need to do

    Hi,
    You can (Authorization material master by views of accounting & costing ) achieve this by way of authorization control. In transaction PFCG, select your role for creating / changing the material master. Select option Maintenance statuses. Then at change status option select views that you want to give the authorization to the users. Create profile & save the role. Now assign the role to the users. They will get only those views you have selected. You have to select those views in all the roles related to material master (create, change, display).Better Consult Basis Consultant,

  • Re: Changes in the material master.

    Hi guru's,
    The vendor supplies the material 1 box which consists of 20 pieces, we known that in the material master the unit of measure for alternate UoM is maintained as 10 pieces (in additional data tab). If I make changes as the receipt from vendor as 20 pieces instead of 10 pieces already maintained, what are the consequences I face. its ur pl.
    thanks
    tuljasingh.

    Hi,
    Once you make changes in material master ( from 10 to 20) then when you make the GR then system will make GR for 20 quantities (After makeing changes in MM you have to again change the conversion in PO in quantities tab). 
    So after making GR, quantities & stock value will be updated as per data mentoned in PO conversion.
    If you make any new PO then system will pick bydefaut the conversion in PO from the material master.(i.e. 20 qty for 1 pc)

  • Valuation class in the material master

    hi all, we maintain split valuation materials, namely domestic & imported. we are working on project based scenarion planning strategy 21 : MTO/project.
    in daily practice user convert unrestricted stock to project stock with 412 Q mvt type before MRP RUN.
    but for some when user try to convert stock following error occurs. I check stock available, it is available. but i do not understand why this error comes.                                                             
    Maintain the valuation class in the material master first
    Message no. M7232
    Diagnosis
    The system found that you have defined your own valuation classes for sales order stock and project stock in Customizing. However, these valuation classes have not been maintained in the material master record for the materials concerned.
    Procedure
    So that the relevant accounts can be posted upon goods movements, you have to maintain the valuation classes for sales order and project stock in the accounting view of the material master record for the material concerned.
    If you have authorization to do so, you can change the material master record.

    Hi,
    The normal valuation stock refer to relevant table valuation class field MBEW/MBEWH-BKLAS
    Special Sales Stock refert to MBEW/MBEWH-EKLAS
    Projeck Stock refer to MBEW/MBEWH-QKLAS

  • 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

  • Characteristics in the material master (SAP Retail)

    Hi everybody,
    Iu2019m using SAP Retail and I need to maintain characteristics in the material master. These characteristics are used to maintain additional information like u201Caccessoriesu201D and u201Cguaranteeu201D (Iu2019m not working with generic articles and variants).
    Each characteristic need to be maintained in different languages:
    Example: Guarantee u2013 In Portuguese the value should be u201C2 anosu201D and in English the value should be u201C2 yearsu201D. 
    There are no predefined values for these characteristics. We use additional values and the user can maintain a free text, but it should be different in Portuguese and in English.
    One solution I can use is to create each Characteristic in English and in Portuguese, and then maintain different values for each one. Iu2019m trying to find a better solution because I have numerous Characteristics.
    Does anyone know another way to solve this issue?
    Thanks in advance,
    SN

    Hi SN,
    this requirement sounds a little bit strange.
    Question 1: This field 'Guarantee' is  valid for all articles or for some articles only ( e.g merchandise categroy electronics)
    Question 2: How do you name the Characteristic? is it Years or Ano or guarantee?
    Question 3: using additional vlaues will kick out the value check. So it is like a free text entry. Of course this makes no sense, because you can also add 'g hello' als a valid value.
    Why you choose this way ?
    Question 4: What is the issue using fixed values? I guess the guarantee values are limited at all.
    Question 5: Why you don't use a MARA append field and hide it on unwished mechandise categories. Thats easier to handle and a value check can be implemented.  So you are able to create a field with a unit in different languages
    e.g.    Guarantee          Years
    if you logon in english.

    Björn
