Bydefault selection of profit centers during material master creation.

Dear SAP Experts,
My business wants that when ever they want to create a new material the profit center field should come bydefault after the selection of the plant.
Each plant has been associated with a profit center.
Is it possible , If yes then How.
Please guide me.
Regards
Debjeet Banerjee

There is no direct link of profit center and plant , the profit center is linked with plant via material master.So you cannot default the profit center when you select the plant while creating the MMR.
Better try with any custom table were you can make this link and default it while creation of material master.

Default material code during material master creation

Dear All,
           While I am trying to create any material in MM01 screen , system automatically takes a material code .So I have to remove that code from there then put my desired material code and then proceed .
            I want to know why system takes that perticular code during material code creation .I want to remove it permanently .
            Please suggest what I have to do ?
Regards
Abhijit Das

Dear Abhijit,
Material Number range & Internal or external number range setting is done in SPRO under
Logistic General>material master>basic setting>material type>Define number range for a perticular material type.
Now if u want to have your own desired code go on above path,Select your material type & tick for external number range & give range of external number( interval).
This will solve your problem,

In OMS9 field for batch management MARC-XCHPF
first check which field selection key is assigned to your material type in the filed slection group 212 (OMSR) there is field called MARA-XCHPF, and MARC-XCHPF.
couble click on these fields and there is an indicator " prapose field content" , you need to select that indicator.

Profit center in material master is not in MARC table

Hi All,
We have maintained profit center in Material master costing 1 screen but when I am checking it in MARC table I am not able to see profit center in MARC Table.
Please tell me in which table this profit center data will sit.
Thanks in advance.
Pavan H S

Hi,
The field name of profit center in table MARC is MARC-PRCTR, maybe you should increase the width of output list in the selection screen when you use data browser of table; or from menu Settings>List Format>Choose Fields, then select field PRCTR to display, that will be okay!
Good day

Use of profit center in Material master

Hello Consultants,
Kindly explain me the use of Profit center in material master in Sales General/Plant and Cisting 1 view?
Thanks,
SK

Hi,
Generally you use this field of profit center based on the organizational logic decided while implementing the SAP.
i.e. Suppose, you want to have your profit center with nomenclature as Site (Plant) + Line of Business (LOB). So, according to this logic you map the same line of business with External Merchandise category and concepts (according to your verticals of business). So, whenever you create any transactions related to this article (material), system will pick up profit center from this article master and for common profit center (for expenses such as service tax and other which needs to be done at common and after that distribute through assessment / disrtibution cycle).
Hope it will clear the purpose of the same from above example. Pls get back for further query.
Thanks & Regards,

Change profit centre in material master

Dear all,
How to change profit centre in material master with stock(opening balance - 561 stock ?
What are implications of changing profit centre in material master ?
Jeyakanthan

In standard SAP it is possible to change the profit center at any time.
However this will create inconsistencies in your profit center accounting. Hence you should issue all stock first to a cost center with 201 movement, then change the profit center, then get the material back with 202 movement.
You need to make MM335 message an error message in OMT4 to allow a change only if there is no stock
If you dont follow this way, then you create inconsistencies in profit center accounting.
Because...you received your stock without profit center (actually it is a certain default profit center), if you then change the PC in your material, then each issue will be posted to the new PC, while it never had a receipt.

Problem during material variant creation

Hi Guys,
I am trying to create material variant in MM01. I entered configurable material let's say DESKTOP. nOw i have partial variant scenario so instead of entering all 30 characteristics i need to enter only 3 characteristics.These 3 charcteristics based on which partial matching will happen in sale document.
My requirement is as out of 30 , TEN chars. are maintained as required entry. So system is asking me to enter all 10 required chars. in material master which my scnario don't want.But the same is required in Sales document.
How to remove this required entry in case of material master creation and keep required entry in sales order or quotation?
Regds

Hi,
You can decide whether it is mandatory to assign a value to a characteristic on the basis of transaction code.
You must use [selection condition|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60/helpdata/en/92/58d455417011d189ec0000e81ddfac/frameset.htm] which calls the [user-defined function|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60/helpdata/en/92/58d455417011d189ec0000e81ddfac/frameset.htm]. In function you need to analyze sy-tcode and raise the predefined exception FAIL for those when you don't want to assign a value to a characteristic (e.g. mm01, mm02). Contact your ABAP team to create such a function.
Don't tick the characteristic as required entry in class definition but assign this selection condition to this characteristic in class.

Approval for Material Master Creation !

Dear All ,
My requirement is to have approval process for Material master. is it possible.?
My Client is expecting approval process same like PO ( release strategy )
Is there any standard approval process for every masters which are created as part of MM transactions.
Can it be achieved by means of any workflow.?
Thanks
Jinoy

Hi,
Yes it can be achieved by Work flow & also through the Enterprise Portal development.
If you have Workflow consultant you can take a help in setting up the approval for Material master creation.
If you want high fund & centralization of Material master you can go for EP development but Cost & effort will be on higher side.
Discuss with your Workflow consultant he will help you.

Material Master creation workflow

Hi everyone....
Last week I went on the BIT601 training course and I'm now tryinig to create my first workflow for material master creation, so please forgive my rather noobish questions. I think this must be a common workflow but I'm sure every company has a different process.
My process is as follows:
- User creates basic data view for material master in MM01.
- Workflow is triggered when material is saved.
- Work item arrives in inbox of master data enigneer who completes all material master views.
- Mail is sent to workflow initiator to inform that material is complete.
- End of workflow
I have defined the start event CREATED from business object BUS1001006 in my workflow definition. I have defined a standard task for the first step in my workflow using bus object BUS1001006 with method Create. The workflow starts correctly however ...
My question is how do I get the material number to pull through to my first step? I am assuming I need to setup some binding to pull the material number into the workflow container?
Can someone please point in the right direction.
Many thanks,
Neil

wow, thanks for the super quick reply Rob!
I figured it must be some binding I had not done.
So ... I go to my Start events in my workflow header, I see I have only the "auto-generated" binding i.e. EVTCREATOR > WFINITIAOR ....
now, I see EVTOBJECT as a possible container object from the event side of the window (left hand side) but what do I link it too? I was kinda expecting to see my business object as a possible container object in the workflow side of the screen (right hand side).
I really hope that makes sense... If I understand correctly, the idea is to link the event object to the business object container element ... but if thats the case why can't I see my business object in the workflow side of the binding window?
Many thanks for taking the time to help a noob
[edit] ... I may have partially answered my own question ... I think I need to define the properties of my business object in my workflow container element such that its is an input field? ...
I'm going home now... will carry on with this in the morning.

Workflow to approve Material Master creation

Dear all,
I would like to create workflow to approve Material Master creation as below:
When Material is created -> Check & Approval (Yes) -> Material is active
-> Check & Approval (No) -> Material is inactive
How can I do that?
Could you pls help me to solve this?
Thanks,
CH

Hi,
Before designing the workflow, you need to find what is the business object and what is the event which gets triggered when material master is created... you can do that using event trace....
1. SWELS - switch on trace
2. Create material
3. SWEL - check trace to find which event is fired
This will give you business object name..
Now start building workflow using SWDD... Go thru basic steps for designing workflow...

How to manage change of profit center in Material master?

The material master of a number of materials were populated with wrong profit center. Transactions were also posted for a few years. Now we want to change the profit centers for some of the materials. These materials have inventory balances and is set for on line transfer to PCA. If we run 1KEH data is duplicated.
What is the best way to manage this change?

Hi Mr.Sanjay,
Good Morning to you,
Regarding your thread the best and easy way to change the profit center is goto MM02 and give the material code and enter and goto Sales: General/plant and in down you can see the Profit Center XXXXX now you change it to YYYYY and save it. So, from now onwards what ever the postings you do the system will show the values in YYYYY - Profit center.
Hope you can solve your thread & for further clarrification feel free to ask me.
Best Regards,
SAPUK.
