Hi Tanvi,
You can attach the Documents to Material Master Using Services for Object Option which is available in the Material master top left corner. Just Select and click on Create attachment button.
If you dont have Services for Object option in mm then go to Menu bar System and Select Services for Object and click on create attachment.

Attachement of drawings in equipment master.

Hi PM experts,

Hi Celine,
whether the uploaded file will affect system performance? How do we know where is the pic stored?
Certainly there will be some effect on the system performace (still it depends on the hardware configuration) may not be right now, but may be in future as the attachements keeps on adding..
And more over these files will not store in a proper manner in the SAP application server. These files mostly will be storing in SAP work location directory. The major effect of this would, while taking back up of the SAP system these files may not be including in the back up process, which could be a serious concern.
You can check with your BASIS guy for taking theback up of these files as in the case of RK log back up which is taken seperately after the SAP data back up.
Better to analyse this with the help of your technical team before you proceed further with this functionality.

Reply to similar question found from net follows
' Yes, it is possible to store images to the materials. here you have at least 2 options, DMS and GOS.
DMS is document manament system, here it is even possible to classify the images for a better search. GOS is generic object services which is available in the maintenace transactions for material master and several other objects. Pretty easy to use, but....you cannot search for the images, you always have to go into the material and fom there you have to open the GOS to see whether an image exists or not.
further you should think about the place where you store these images and other attachments, I mean in SAP table system or in an optical disc system linked to SAP, which is much cheaper diskspace than the SAP tablespace.
A migration from DMS to DMS is relatively easy and can be accomplished with IDOCs via LSMW or ALE scenario.
Migration of GOS attachements is challenging. Nothing ready for use exists in SAP to do it. '
Hope it helps

Hi Roshan,
Insted of using this field u can assign Document directly to the Additional Data tab.

You can confirm it by pressing F1 key by selecting that Field.

How to remove any view from material master

Hello guys,
   Actually we can attach the view to material master by MM01 and also by MM50.
   Now,consider this, in my company even we sale the semifinished material along with the finished material.So we have attached the sales view to semifinished material and finished material.Now my company has decided to not to sale the semifinished material.So there is no sense in keeping the sales view in material master of semifinished material.So we want to remove the sales view from the material master of semifinished material.
     So could you guys help me out to do this?

Hi
From the config for Material type attributes you can change the views relevant to Material type means you can unselect the sales views - that will definately take care of the new materials that will be created. But for the existing one's and the data is something you need to see and investigate
I would advice you to check all the aspects in dev client and then take a decision.
Thanks

Hi
Hi
It is possible to have different screens for different user groups. You need to create new material master sequence without drawing number details and give that to users who should not see drawing details. Check the customization steps in the below config. Spro-> Logistics General---> Material master ---> Configuring material master.
In this you can define user wise screens also.
I think I already answered you.
A quick example
Scenario
For your purchasing agents Kirk, Scott, and McKoy, you want to create a screen sequence containing the following screens:
Basic Data
You want this data screen to include the following unchanged subscreens from the Basic Data 1 view in the standard material master:
Material description
General data
Dimensions/EANs
Purchasing/Storage
You want this data screen to include the following subscreens:
General data (from the Plant Data/Storage 1 view in the standard material master)
Purchasing values (from the Purchasing view in the standard material master)
You also want this data screen to include an additional subscreen containing the following fields from the Purchasing view in the standard material master:
Purchasing group
Material group
Order unit
Procedure
1. Carry out the IMG activity Create Program for Customized Subscreens. This requires you to do the following:
a) Create a function group of your own, for example, with the name YENTERPRISE (steps 1 and 2 in the documentation for the IMG activity above).
b) Copy subscreen SAPLMGD1 2301 (Purchasing Data: General Data) to SAPLYENTERPRISE 2301, and subscreen SAPLMGD1 2701 (Storage Data: General Data) to SAPLYENTERPRISE 2701 (steps 3 to 7).
c) Remove all fields from subscreen SAPLYENTERPRISE 2301 with the exception of the Purchasing group, Material group, and Order unit using the Screen Painter (transaction SE51) (step 8).
Make sure that the fields you have removed are no longer included in checks. You do this by searching for the fields in the source code and making the lines in which they appear comment lines.
Using the Screen Painter, rename the frame text of both subscreens as follows:
General data -> Purchasing data: General data

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.
- Whats the performance impact on the online transaction?
- Whats 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
- Whats 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 doesnt have much impact on performance & also has a good quality resolution of image
- Whats 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 its 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

In the Material Master Basic Data2, we have CAD Indicator. That field is in display mode, inspite of Optional Entry maintained in the field selection group corresponding to its field reference.
Can you please let's know, whether this can be made as input field and can be maintained in the Material Master creation / it should always be updated by CAD Interface only and not possible to have maintain manually.
Our client is not having CAD Interface, but would like to use this field for bi-furcating materials into two groups based on the input in this indicator
Thank you,
Best Regards,
Ramakrishna Mangena

there is no way to set this flag outside the maintaince from
CAD-Desktop. [PDM CAD-interface]
Sorry to give you a not more positive answer in this case.

Insert drawing ind te material master record

Hi Gurus,
I would like to add a drawing in the material master record. Do you know which configuration I have to do?
Regards,
MNA

Hi,
You can create/manage your documents in transaction code CV01N / CV02N
Assigning Documents to a Material Master Record .
Access a material master record in Create or Change mode, and select Basic Data.
To create links to documents, choose Additional data -> Document data.
The Link to Documents dialog box appears.
Assign one or more documents to the material.
If you do not know what the document number is, you can search for it using the search help or by choosing Find document.
When assigning a document to a material, you have the following options:
1. Viewing the document by choosing it in the Link to Documents dialog box.
2. Viewing any originals of the document by positioning the cursor on the document and
choosing Display originals in the Link to Documents dialog box.
To return to the Basic Data screen, choose Continue.
Save your data.
Note:
SAP has recommended SAP DMS - Document Management System.SAP DMS are for storing documents such as CAD drawings, Materials pictures etc.With the document management system, users will be able to view the documents with ease within their SAP systems but need to Install the SAP DMS.

Current period in Accounting 1 view of Material Master

Dear Experts,
In Accounting 1 view of Material Master there is a current period, now it is 12 2009.
Is it possible to make it 11 2009, if yes how to do it.
Please help if you have solution. it is very crucial for me.
Thank you for your support.

Zusen

Hi,
Please read the Solution part of note 487381. There is still a few things need to be carry out before you can proceed
with the initialization :
Bear in mind that the initialization of a posting period has the
following effects concerning the period stocks:
    o The initialization of the posting period to a previous or to any
       posting period may lead to the loss of the information of the
       inventory balances of the previous periods.The book value of the
       current posting period is taken as the basis also for values of
       the previous period in this case.
       If you want to continue working with this new posting period, in
       addition you should execute report Z_DEL_HIST_ENTRIES attached so
       that history entries greater or equal to the new posting period
       will be deleted.
    o If you have to briefly reset the posting period by one period
       (for example, postings must still be posted in a certain period)
       just to make a correction (and for a small number of postings),
       you should initialize the posting period back again to the old
       value so that the values of the previous period will not be lost
       (you should forbid postings when carrying out corrections).
       However, afterwards the values of the previous period or the
       history records (as of Release 4.5) of the materials posted in
       this case are inaccurate.
       You should NOT execute report Z_DEL_HIST_ENTRIES in this case.
    o However, if the posting period is generally reset again to a
       previous posting period and if postings were made during this
       time, all information on the inventory balance of the previous
       periods is lost.
       As of Release 4.5a, you should use the cited correction report
    Z_DEL_HIST_ENTRIES in order to delete history records that are
    more current than the current posting period.Otherwise, it can
    result in deviations (inconsistencies) for the update of the
    history records.
o Important! If there are open physical inventory documents that
    have status 'counted' or for which indicator 'Freeze inventory
    balance' has been set, you should reject these if they refer to a
    previous period or have been created in the former previous
    period.The inventory difference to be posted can be determined
    from the current book value of the previous period and the book
    quantity frozen in the physical inventory document (ISEG-BUCHM)
    and does not match the inventory balance of the previous period
    that is currently valid.
