Avoiding non required view for material master

Hi,
If I do not wan to tuse all the views then how can avoid them at the time of creation of material.I mean system should only show me the views relevant for me.
What is the customization setting required to be done in IMG ?/
Thx in advance

manOO

Hi Manoo,
1.
Material master creation activity is generally carried out by a central team.
The process flow is generally -
1.Creation of Basic data views,
2.Creation of other views (Like purchasing, Accounting etc)
So idelly i do not see any need to restrict views as the central team is generally aware of the process flow and responsibilities.
2. Alternatively, you can set "Default View" for any particular user ID.
From Consulting point of view, this should not lead to any development as this could be a matter of User discipline.
from OMS2 you can remove the view for a particular material type and which may not be correct.

Views for material master

Hi,
Where can i make the settings for the views while creating amaterial master. I want only limited views only to be displayed while creating the material. The views not pertining to the material type should not appear.
Regards,

hi,
check whether you have selected your own material type and done the customization in the view selection.
if u have maintained for your material type, them select the appropriate material type while creating material in MM01.tHE VIEWS Selected in OMS2 trx only will be reflecting.

Classification view creation via LSMW for Material master

Hi,
We are planning to have an LSMW for creation of material master along with classification view for configurable materials.
Though we see a flag to indicate classification view - XEIC1 Indicator: take Classification view into account
We do not see a structure where in we can pass all the characteristics and the corresponding values.
Is this something possible only with BAPIs such as -> BAPI_OBJCL_CREATE after creation of other view for that material.
Regards,
HR

Hi,
Thanks for the response. This is helpful.
However, we were intending to use a single LSMW for creation of all views of material master including classification view. Right now we are using Program RMDATIND as direct input method in LSMW.
Please let me know if there is a way to use single LSMW for creation of all views of material master.
Thanks

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.

Sequence of maintaining views in material master

Hi
Is it possible to maintain sequence of maintaining different views in material master.
For example: Basic Data 1 should be maintained first & then Basic Data 2 and then General Plant Data/Storage 1 and then General Plant Data/Storage 2 and so on.
If the user misses the sequence, it should give a error message.
Regards
Pradipta Sahoo

Hi,
u r requirment is possible, that u change screen sequence of material master so the apperance will be as per u r requirement. In changes can be done in OMT3B in SPRO.

Control inspection lot in QM view of material master

Hi
this is regarding the setting for control inspection in QM view of material master.
can anyone give me a prictical example of
1. 'X' An inspection lot for each purchase order item/order item
2. '1' An inspection lot for each material document and material
3. '2' An inspection lot for each material and batch
If my requirement is to create one inspection lot out of several batches made from a production order( eg, 10 batches are created, only 1st one needed for RR and UD), which one should I use?

Hi,
the concept of batch comes when there are some property changes (property in terms of business, that may be quality or something else). if you are confirming production order partially, it means there is something that changes with batches. that's why std sap does not allow to create single lot though all those batches have been created from same production order.
and henceforth, your requirement cannot be fulfilled by any config. you can try for development.

View using Material master,Vendor master and PO tables

Hello folks.
There is a requirement to create view using material master tables ( MARA,MARC,MARD,MAKT & MBEW ) , vendor master tables ( LFA1 & LFB1) and
Purchase order tables ( EKKO & EKPO tables).
I have created the attribute views for material and vendor master tables separately.Now I am thinking about the following design pattern.
1. Join the material master master attribute view to EKPO table using the inner join to create a analytic view1.
2. Join the material vendor master attribute view to EKKO table using the inner join to create a analytic view2.
3. Now create calculate view using join to combine analyticalview1 & analyticalview2.
Please suggest me the best optimize pattern and am strange to SAP HANA. Please also clarify the following doubts.
1. What is the role of system supplied default aggregation node?
2. How can I use Union node in the calculation view in the current requirement because people/documentation always suggesting using of Union than Join?
Thanks & Regards,
Suresh Kuturu

I have managed to create the Analytic view as per my requirement.. No need to use calculation view in this case..

Step by step instruction for Using LSMW Recoding method for Material Master

Guys,
Can some one explain step by step procedure for uploading the materials master data to R/3 by using LSMW Recoding method. By the time you reply I will go through the rule of uploading the data..
Thanks guys,
Dhanu.

Hi,
The Legacy System Migration Workbench (LSMW) is a tool recommended by SAP that you can use to transfer data once only or periodically from legacy systems into an R/3 System.
The LSM Workbench covers the following steps:
(1)Read the legacy data from one or several files (e.g. spreadsheet tables, sequential files)
(2)Convert the data from source format to target format
(3)Import the data using standard interfaces (Batch Input, Direct Input, BAPI, IDoc).
The Steps for LSME are:
Example: Customer Master upload:
LSMW to Update Customer Master Records with Transaction Recording
Call Legacy System Migration Workbench by entering transaction code LSMW. Every conversion task is grouped together as Project / Subproject / Object structure. Create a Project called LSMW_DEMO and a Subproject as CUSTOMERS and Object as CUST_REC
Step 1: Maintain Object attributes
In this example, you will be updating the customer master records with the help of recording a transaction (XD02). Choose radio button Batch Input Recording and click on the recording overview icon to record the R/3 transaction. Enter the Recording name as XD02_REC, the description as Customer Master Updates Recording, and the transaction code as XD02.
Step 2. Maintain Source Structures
Give a name and a description to the source structure
Step 3. Maintain Source Fields
In this step, you need to list what fields are present in the source structure. The easiest way is to click on u2018Table Maintenanceu2019 icon to enter Fieldname, Type and Length for each field
Step 4: Maintain Structure Relations
Execute a step to u2018Maintain Structure Relationsu2019. Since, there is only one Source and Target Structure, the relationship is defaulted automatically.
Step 5: Maintain field mapping and conversion rules
Field RF02D-D0310 represents that you chose u2018Sales viewu2019 for the customer Master screen accordingly its value should be set to X. Keep your cursor on field RF02D-D0310 and click on Constant rule icon to choose the constant value of u2018Xu2019.
If your source file already has the field value, you choose rule u2018Source Fieldu2019.
Keep cursor on field u2018KUNNRu2019 and click on u2018Assign Source fieldu2019 icon to choose source field CUSTOMER from structure XD02S
Step 6: Maintain fixed values, translations, user-defined routines
You can also maintain re-usable translations and user-defined routines, which can be used across conversion tasks. In this case, that step is not required.
Step 7: Specify files
In this step, we define how the layout of the input file is. The input file is a [Tab] delimited with the first row as field names. It is present on my PC (local drive) as C:\XD02.txt.
Step 8: Assign files
Execute step u2018Assign Filesu2019 and the system automatically defaults the filename to the source structure.
Step 9: Read data
In this step, LSMW reads the data from the source file (from your PCu2019s local drive). You have the option to read only selected rows and convert data values to Internal format.
Step 10: Display read data
This step is optional. If required, you can review the field contents for the rows of data read.
Step 11: Convert data
This is the step that actually converts the source data (in source format) to a target format. Based on the conversion rules defined, source fields are mapped to target fields.
Step 12: Display Converted data
Again this is an optional step to view how the source data is converted to internal SAP format
Step 13: Create batch input session
Once the source data is converted in an internal format, you can create a batch session to process updates.
Step 14: Run Batch Input Session
You can execute the BDC session by Run Batch input session. Executing a batch input session is a standard SM35 transaction for managing BDC sessions. Once you have successfully executed the batch input session, the customer master records are updated in the system. You can confirm this by viewing the customer master records (XD03).

Adding fields in costing view of material master

Hi gurus,
I need to add 4 fields in costing view of material master. I have followed the steps in SPRO, for configuring customized screen in material master.
1) Created a function group YMMCO and copied the screen 2904 from program SAPLMGD1.
2) Added 4 fields in my customized screen.
3) Created copy of 01 ( Screen reference ) to z1 in OMT3B.
Since 2904 is not there in the sequence . I changed one 0001 sequence at the end to 2904 . I also assigned my program
SAPLYMMCO to it. I can see the changed fields in data screen and subscreen.
4) Then I assigned the SSq to z1 in transaction OMT3E.
But unfortunately, when I go to MM01 to create a material , I am not able to view the fields I added in costing view.
I have checked the screen for the previous field, it shows 2904 only.
Two days back, I did the same thing in basic data view 1 , it was working properly. As per client's suggestion I put it in
costing view, it is not working . Please give me suitable suggestions.
Thanks in advance.
D. Mallick

Hi,
I also need to add custom fields to Basic data view. After copying & changing the screen sequence in Config, I could able to see the custom fields in Basic Data view.
I have appended structure with custom fields to MARA table.
But the values I enter in the screen is not getting updated to the table MARA.
Can you please let me know the code, I should have have in PAI (Process After Input) module in the Sub Screen to update the values?
Thanks,

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.

Problem with *serial no. profile* in work sheduling view of material master

Hi ! !
I am here with a problem with serial no. profile in work sheduling view of material master.
By mistake for some FHMI type ( PRODUCTION RESOURCE TOOLS )materials, serial no profile exist in 'work sheduling' view. Due to that we are facing problem in GRN.
when I am trying to remove that with MM02. i m getting a message as Serial numbers already assigned to this material
Please suggest how to remove serial no. profile.
Thanks in advance,
Prab

Hi,
go to MMBE and check the Current Serial number...for FHMI type
and go to IQ02 and close the Serial number range at the Current number range...
Now you can assign this serial number range to another material type...
Thx
