Dear Tej,
I checked the transaction code as told. OMSL is not helpfull. I need to restrict the user to give the material number atleast 18 character....
In OMS2 following description is available in MM:
External Number Assignment Without Validation
Use
In the case of external number assignment, this indicator tells the system not to check the material number entered on the screen against the number range. In this case, the material number assigned must contain at least one letter, and not consist only of figures.
If I check the system will not check the external number assigned with the number range in the system MMNR transaction code

How to get company code using material number

Dear all,
I have material number & plant on selection screen, but how do I get the company code details using MARA-MATNR ?

HI,
You can use a cmobination of T001K and MARC Table.
T001K table is assignment of Plants to a company code and MARC is a table with combination of Material and Plant.

Article code - Multiple MC

Hi all
Iam facing an issue with same article codes but different MC for the same article. Will explain detail. Ours is a group company where the parent company sells their products to different companies including my company which is a sister company of the main company . Now they created their article code through external number with their description and their merchandise hierarchies. Ours is reatil company which cannot use external numbering as well as their description and though their hierarchies. Initailly we planned for creating different article code with same international bar code of theirs , but system wouldnt accept multilple bar codes for the same article. We thought of using inhouse bar codes for these items, but that woudl be a cumbersome process I need a solution for the following
1. If we use international bar code and have different article codes , can the system allow multiple bar codes for the same item. If that is the case, whenever we do a GR or Transfers, which article code would the system take?
2. Can we have internal numbering and external numbering for the same client
3. Can we define different merchandise categories for the same item. If not can we create some alternate hierachies to match with our requirements. Curently the parent company and our company ahs different hierarchies for the same items
Would really appreciate your help

this is happening because the material number range is buffered.
The buffer is set to 10 in standard.
So if you do MM01 you get one number assigned, but other 9 numbers are in the buffer.
When you leave MM01 without saving, and without creating 9 other materials, then these 10 numbers are lost.
You can change the buffer in transaction SNUM for object MATERIALNR

To create a Material using BAPI with out passing the material number

Hello Experts,
I am using BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA to create a material of some Ztype. I am successfully creating a material if I am passing Material Number as input. I want the material number to generated internally.
When I am doing material creation with same input data with out material number using BDC, it is working fine. It is generating the material number.
But, not with the BAPI.
Do, I need to specify this some where in the BAPI to generate the Material number internally? Please let me know.
Please help me in this regard.
Thanks & Regards,
Naresh.

Hi,
Read the BAPI documentation regarding Internal Number range for materials.
When you create material master data, the following fields must always
contain a value in the structure:
o   MATERIAL
    Only external number assignment is supported for the material number
    (MATERIAL). If you want the material number to be assigned
    internally, the method BAPI_MATERIAL_GETINTNUMBER must first be
    called. This method determines an internal number for the material
    to be created. You must enter this internal number in field
    HEADDATA-MATERIAL.

Material desc automatically filled when enter material number using SM30

Hi all,
I have created Z table with fields material number(MATNR) and material description. Iam maintaing table using SM 30 transaction. If I enter material number the material description automatically filled when press enter button.
Is there any solution for this
Thanks
Sudarsana

Hello,
whenever you create a maintainance for a table an SAP program is generated which will have the name SAPL(name of the function group to which the table is assigned)....you can go directly to the program inside SM30 by clicking on the top menu -> system -> status ->program name and screen number
inside SM30 go to the screen where you have to see the description(based on 1step and 2step ) and note the screen number and program name
once you go the program -> go to the particular screen -> and confirm the screen
inside the PAI or PBO
write the code :
if Material number is not initial.
select and put material description into the screen field for text.
else.
clear the value for text in screen field
endif.
Disadvantages : whenever you create a new maintainance by using the table maintainance generator the code is over written
solution:the screen code will be always over written..but inside the SAPL program when you create the PBO/PAI make an include and save it...when regenerating the include will not be over written but you will have to go to the screen flow logic and give the name of the PBO/PAI modules
A table once finalised will not require regenerating the maintainance again but this is a draw back ...but the solution just provided is the widely accepted and followed one
Reward if useful

Template for material number

My requirement is I want the material number starting with `AAA` followed by internal number
How to do using template..
Thanx

Hi ,
We have an standard SAP -User exist used for material number assignments based on business needs.
Go to Transaction code SMOD - Enhancement MGA00002 is used to hard code the material number ( Internal / External assignments)
   Important
   Retail customers must use customer enhancement MGW00002.
   You use this customer enhancement to influence the assignment of material numbers. You can intervene in the program at the following points:
   Internal number assignment (function module exit exit_saplmg02_001) Functional Module EXIT_SAPLMG02_001
   This function module is called if internal number assignment is allowed and if the user has not specified a number when creating a material master record.
   External number assignment (function module exit exit_saplmg02_002) Functional Module EXIT_SAPLMG02_002
   This function module is called if the user has specified a number When creating a material master record. However, if external number assignment is not allowed, the (changed) number is subsequently discarded.
Please discuss with ABAP developer in order to fulfilled your business requirements.

Thiru

EAN entry (barcode scanning) instead of material number

Hi All,
In material master, I already maintain the EAN number of the material (EAN-13). Is it possible that I can use barcode scanner or enter the EAN number directly in MM or SD transactions (i.e. tcode MIGO, VA01), instead of inputting material number? What field do I have to set focus on the screen? Is it material code field or it must be EAN field?
What configuration needed to set up to let SAP recognize the link between material no. and its EAN in MM transactions?
Thanks a lot,
Lisa

Hi Lisa
Sorry I have not an answer for you but I would ask you if you get allready a solution for your problem? Because we have the same problem in our company.

Emergent!! Two alternative material number for one same real material???

Hi Experts
In our company,for some specail requirement,we want to have two material numbers for one same real
material,that means this two materials are substitute for each other. In every transaction, we can
use this both two material numbers.
For example,material number "A123 " and "B456" , these two material numbers are for one real
material, In every transaction we can use "A123 " or "B456".For exmaple ,we can create and release
a production order to produce"A123",and when doing goods receive for this produciton order with
MB31,we could use"B456" for the same production order. And also when we view the stock for "A123" in SAP,we could get the the sum stock of "A123" and "B456".
Is it possible in SAP? How to achieve it that one real material have two different material number??
And how to manage these two different material number??
Thanks for any reply!!

Fei,
The requirement can't be absolutely mapped in SAP.
The reason is the logic behind this is wrong.
May we know why do you want to maintain two separate codes for one real material?
We have option of batch management as well as split valuation to take care of your requirement.
Evaluate these things.
Hope this helps you.

Check same material number is entered in the va02 for bulk_sales_order

hi
i am calling the transaction 'VA02' by passing the bulk_sales_order number which is already created containing the record, after that if i try to create the new item for same material can allow, but if i try to create for different material i need to display error like
'invalid material number enter the same material number'. and before that i need to check sales order type is bluk_sales_order "XLB' used in my project...
thanks with regards

Same material number Ciffing from different ECC system

Hello Gurus,
I have APO system connected with two ECC system.
If there is a material with the same name in both the system how does the APO system finds the respective system.
Even if I assign BSG for the logical systems, to which system will the transaction data will be transferred after planning?
Thanks,
Siva.

Although I do not have real-time experience working in this kind of scenario from what I understand there will be two product-codes based on the BSG.
Eg. HAMMER@BSG1 will be the Product code for material HAMMER coming from your first ECC system which is mapped to BSG1 and HAMMER@BSG2 will be the product code for material HAMMER comping from the other second ECC system that is mapped to BSG2.
Transaction data will then flow back from APO to respective ECC system based on the BSG mapping. Note in the Distribution Definition you maintain the connected ECC logical system name as well.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Somnath

Stock value - some has value, some is non-valuated in same material number

Hi,
I have a condition here where in our company certain material (same material number) total qty is 1000 ea.
The MAP is 10 USD. May be after a few months, the cost of 600 ea will be absorb by certain cost center(department).
So, user request to zero up the 600 ea of the stock, but the qty still have to be maintain there.
In the report they would like to see the value stock is USD 10(MAP) * 400(the balance = 1000-600) = 4000 USD instead of 1000*10= 10,000.
Is there any idea how to do this in SAP? Is there a way to do that?
Thanks.

yes you are right. once good issue occur the qty stock will decrease which we don't want it to happen. In fact the 600 quantity still remain in store, but the value is bought by other cost center, the value should not owned by store. But the quantity still can be use when there order that need to use the 600 quantity.
This is requested by the management, they would like to calculate the cost of the department I guess. From the perspective from store department, they should have bear less cost of the stock (for e,g. they should bear only 400 qty of the stock but not 1000 qty of stock, another 600 qty of stock value should bear by other department which has bought by that particular department). --> this is the purpose why we need to do that.
Also, we can not create another material number, as the planning still need to be done for the same material.

Material number are same but attribute of materials are different.

What if we have two system connected with APO with similar material numbers but in fact different material in description.
I mean, numbers are same but attribute of materials are different.
How to address it in APO.....?
Regards

HI,
An SCM system (APO) can be integrated with multiple ECC systems (logical
systems). It may therefore be the case that the number assignment for certain
master data objects, for example, material masters, is not the same in all these
logical systems. In the example above, material number A in logical systems 1
and 2 signifies the same cube, whereas the same material number in logical system
3 (perhaps a subsequently purchased plant) is a cylinder.
If logical systems 1, 2 and 3 are planned with the same SCM System, the problem
arises that the system cannot simply transfer the ECC material numbers into APO,
as they may be ambiguous.
To guarantee that the naming of master data in distributed system landscapes is
unique, business system groups are defined in APO as areas of the same naming
convention. A Business System Group (BSG) groups different physical systems to
form a higher-level logical unit.
If, for example, two logical systems (LS1 and LS3) exist in a system landscape in
which you want to integrate APO and contain different materials with the same
name (Material A is a cube in LS1, but a cylinder in LS2), this conflict must
be resolved for integration in APO. First of all, both logical systems are to be
assigned to different business system groups (BSG1 and BSG2).
check and revert back , Hope it will help you.

Adding quantity field for the same material number in Table control

Hello Experts,
I have an requirement, where I need to add the quantity field when the material number is repeated in a table control.
Here I show the pop-up message "Material already exists, do you want to add the quantity". If the user clicks on Yes I need to add the quantity.
I created the pop-up message using the FM " POPUP_TO_CONFIRM" and tried to add the quantity filed using COLLECT statement but I couldn't because my non-numeric field value will be different and it will insert new entry with same material in my internal table.
I have a z data base table & internal table with the below fields in it.

How to make sure what material number format is the same in SRM and R/3?

Hi all!
I faced the following problem:
"Product does not exist in plant or it has been flagged for deletion". This error message occurs during shopping cart creation or during transferring purchase requisition from R/3 to SRM. It seems like SRM carries out some material checking in R/3 before shopping cart save and can't find out appropriate R/3 material. The only reason I can assume is different material number formats in SRM and R/3. Material number length is the same in both systems.
Thanks in advance,
Alexander.

Alex-
We experienced this problem just recently. Our situation involved trying to add a material to the cart from an internal catalog (CCM). As mentioned earlier their is a configuration setting to indicate the number of characters the "Product" (SRM terminolgoy) or "Material" (R/3 terminology) should be. We made our setting 18 characters (same length as field in R/3). The important thing to understand is that the material number is actually defined as a character field, not a numerical field so the length of the material "number" is critical for the system to accurately check the material. Do the following and see if you correct the error.
1) Go into transaction COMMPR01 in SRM, select the search tab and choose Material in the Find box, then click start. Choose the material you are experiencing the problem on and verify that the number of characters is the same in SRM as it is in R/3.
2) Next, go into R/3 and look at table entries in MARC for the material. This will show you all the different plants associated with the material.
3) Finally, create a cart and procure the material. If you get the error message go to the basic data of the cart and verify the location (plant) is one of the plants you found in step 2. If not, change the location to one from step 2 and check the cart.

Is there a transaction to delete an article (Material Number) from SAP?

Hello SAPients!
Does anybody know: Is there a transaction (or FM) to delete an article (material number from SAP ?
Thanks!

You can only flag the material for deletion. You do this via MM02, or you can do it via BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA. THe material can only be fully deleted when the archive process has been ran for the object.
