Archiving Material Master Attachments to Opentext

Hi All,
I am new to Open text and have to send all files attached to Material Master to Opentext. If the user attach the file in MM02 the files should be stored in Opentext. Can anyone let me know how this can be achieved. Thanks..

Hello Rajesh,
You are in a wrong track getting confused with DMS. You need to use OAC0 configure the Content repository, leading application, install opentext clients and make document configurations accordingly. Please go through the documentation provided by OT.
In case of query please contact me. Close the thread if useful.
Thanks,

Hi Neha,
Using DMS(Document Management System) it must be possible. I have not used it. Please check.

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

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

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.
Regards,
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.

Material Ledger Unit Of Measurement different from Material Master

Dear Team,
In my client, there is a difference between unit visible in CKM3N and MM03. The base unit of measurement in MM03 is MT. Other than that, there are some other units maintained (not M3) in additional data tab in material master. In CKM3N, the visible unit is M3. M3 is not present anywhere in MM03.
Why would such unit flow in material ledger table? (CKMLPP has unit M3). Please advise.
One more observation is that when there is some price change document in Material Ledger, the proper UoM (MT) is being captured. Only in the basic price determination structure visible unit for each head is M3. Please check the attached screen shot.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Jay Shah.

Moving average price in material master

Dear All,
M client is in manufacturing process(variant configuration) having make to order scenario (Non-Valuated).
We are having steel and ring business, For Steel business we are producing in house/subcontracting and For Ring we are sending Raw material/Semi-finished goods to Sub-contractor for which he is charging processing charges. Raw material/SFG(semi-finished goods) provided to subcontractor is SFG for steel business.
We are doing movement type 912 E for sending goods for subcontracting (sales order is attached) and while doing G/R through MIGO processing charges are debited and credit goes to gr/ir account,Upto this point I am ok with costing as visible from sales order analysis(KKAC).
Now In our scenario if out of 6000 rings (as defined in sales order)customer is rejecting 1000 rings we have to detach that sales order through movement type 411 E and bring to our own stock or by movement type 412 E attach to another sales order .Also We are using 413 E movement type for transferring unsold goods to another sales order.
In 411 E and 412 E movement types system takes moving average price (maintained originally ) and by using movement type 413 E no value is transferred only quantity is transferred (because of non-valuated scenario).
Now if system picks original price maintained say at re.1 my costing for detached and attached sales order are incorrect .
Example
Material master(A) accounting view
Map     1
Stock     100               total value     100
Sales order 1(10 tonnes)A (finished product)
Cost     1000
Revenue     800(5 tonnes)
sales order 2
cost b/f          5
Revenue        800(5 tonnes)
Now if 5 tonnes are detached from sales order it picks price from
Master i.e Re.1 so Rs.5 is taken to own stock through mtype 411 E
Or it takes Rs.5 to another sales order 2 as cost of 5 tonnes .
Now my sales order 1 will show loss of Rs.195(995-800) and sales order2 shows profit of Rs.795.
I want to know whether system is behaving correctly or some customization is to be done.
Thanks and Regards
Vijay

Material Master - Error M3 826 Maintenance status of field ... to screen

Hi Experts of the Material Master,
I am getting the error M3 826 "Maintenance status of field MARA-BEHVO does not correspond to status of screen K" when all screens are selected in the Create Material Master transaction.
Here is my situation: I have added the fields MARA-BEHVO and MARA-TEMPB both of status L (Storage) to a screen called "Phys. Characteristics", which has status K (Basic data).
This produces the error message above in standard SAP. I didn't want to change the customizing of the screen to allow L, because this screen is also used by other material types.
I had to copy the screen MGD1 2701 (Phys. Characteristics) to my custom program for Material Master screens anyhow, as the number of fields and their descriptions had to be adjusted.
The program was created using the activity "Create Program for User Subscreens" in SPRO.
in the coding of ZMGD1 screen 2701 I have added this code behind the standard module FELDAUSWAHL to manipulate the standard logic that would blend out L fields on a K screen.
LOOP AT SCREEN.
*   Material Type
    IF mara-mtart = 'ZPNT'.
*     Screen-Names of the 3 fields
      IF screen-name = 'MARA-TEMPB' OR
         screen-name = 'MARA-BEHVO'.
        screen-active      = 1.
        screen-invisible   = 0.
        screen-output      = 1.
*       Change or Create transaction
        IF sy-tcode = 'JP27' OR sy-tcode = 'JP28'.
          screen-input       = 1.
          screen-required    = 1.
        ENDIF. "transaction code JP27 or JP28
        MODIFY SCREEN.
      ENDIF. "screen-name
    ENDIF. "Material Type ZPNT
ENDLOOP.
It all works fine when only a number of screens (but including the modified) screens are selected for creation.
But it fails with the message above on the modified screen when all screens are selected.
Any ideas?
Ralf

from the message, it appears that ZZKUNNR is a custom field attached to your MARA table. So, it is your System specific. I don't see ZZKUNNR available in MARA. If you look at the transaction code OMT3B (configuration for material master data screens), you can find K - Basic Data Screen in Maintenance Status field.
You may look in this area to fix your issue. Because yours is a custom field, its tough to analyse further.
Reward points, if it helps!

Classification Mandatory in Material Master

Dear All,
I have multiple characteristics in a class attached to one of the material. I want to make some of these characteristics mandatory in material master itself, how can this be done. I know we can make 'entry required' in the characteristic but it only makes the value mandatory at the time of classification of batch. I want it to be mandatory in material only.
Thanks
geravine

Hi ,
You know the answer
I know we can make 'entry required' in the characteristic but it only makes the value mandatory at the time of classification of batch
try out below steps,
create characterstic, and make it mandatory , attach it to class of calss type 300 , attach this class to material in classification view , as soon as you will open this view , system will ask you to assign value for this mandatory characterstic, and wont allow you come out of it till you assignh a alowed value.
Try out and reply.
Thanks
Ritesh

Purpose of maintaining classification view in material master

Hi gurus
can anyone explain Purpose of maintaining classification view in material master with example
Regards
Vishal...

Hi
One of the reason we maintain classification is for batch management where characteristics like shelf life expiry date is being attached to a class & that class is maintained in material master so whenever transactions takes place it will read from the characteristics value.
the other purpose is with variant configruation, for a configurable material there will be more than one characteristics for ex: in a car it comes with A/C - non a/c, metallic - non metallic, normal steering - power steering all these are mainatained as characteristics & assigned to a class & we use that class in classification for materials.
there is many more advantages & ways of using classification in material master.

Rang
