Can description of material type be put in display mode(t.code-OMS2) ?

hi mm gurus,
Is there any possibility to put the description of material type gray mode (display mode) so that it cannot be changed in t.code.OMS2
because my client doesn't want it in change mode.
pl give your valuable suggestion.
thanks
raj

Hi,
OMS2 is part of configuration and client has nothing to do with this.
Better, you restrict the config authorization with help of BASIS Guy.

Can we change material type after creation of material

hi all ,
can any body tell me how we can change the material type of already created material , i have a material type (do not use raw material) which i want to chage in raw material
please reply

Hi Manjit
Try transaction MMAM
It may not work if you have some differences in field selection between the old material type and the new material type (e.g. batch mandatory in old material type and hidden in new material type)
It may not allow processing if stock has already been posted

Condition Type Values are in display mode during PO amendment

Dear Friends,
I have this issue in import PO.
1. Process is we created an import PO with all necessary values filled under respective condition types to arrive at assessable value but Local freight cost is not known at this point since values are made clearer only after complete clearance of the goods from customs..
2.MIRO for customs done
3. PO amendment needs to be done to fill the values for the local freight & clearing but these condition types are in display mode.
Pls kindly guide me as to what should be done in this case?
thanks
nandu

Hi,
Once you done the MIRO for customs duty, then all the Planned delivery costs will be captured during this MIRO, the condition type will be in display mode in PO.
if you want to amend the PO with local frieght is either you need to reverse the MIRO captured otherwise you need to add the unplanned delivery costs during the MIRO for second time & can pay the same to the Local frieght vendors.

Create transaction variant of mm01 - can't fix material type

Hi,
I am trying to create two transaction variants for MM01 called ZM0R and ZM0F for raw and finished materials respectively.
I have created them and all the fields I want as Required are working.
However, I want the material type to default in as raw for ZMOR and as finished goods for ZMOF. I have ticked "with content" and "required" but it is not working. Whatever material type was last used in MM01 still comes in.
I have also tried creating a copy of MM01 using Se93 to see if I can get it to work this way but when I test it, I get a message Sap Transaction control and can't seem to get past that.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Hi Jurgen,
worked a treat, thanks!. I have another related problem...my backflush field in MRP2 is not appearing. I have checked the field groups and it is there, group 74, for the material type and marked as Optional. Is there somewhere else this can be hidden?

Functional Module or BAPI for changing Material Type

Hi,
There is a Transaction MMAM for changing the Material Type in SAP. Can anyone help me in figuring out a Functional Module which can change the Material Type like how MMAM transaction does. Is anyone aware of any FM or BAPI that can take import parameters as Material Number and New Material Type and change the material type to the New one.
I tried using the BDC but got some performance issues with it.
Thanks
Vinay

Could you please put some light on which part of the transaction MMAM is responsible in changing the Material type. I can understand that there may exist may checks in the Tx MMAM but I would like to know where is the material Type getting changed in the Tx MMAM. On going through the Tx MMAM I have across many forms and function modules but its difficult to track the form/Function Module responsible for changing the Material Type. Please help me in this.

In T.code: OMS2, you can get standard material type list.VERP is the standard material type for packing material.You can copy VERP and rename to ur material type( as it is ur business requriement or else u can use same VERP)
What is the use of material type here?
With the help of ur Material Type , u can craete material like The material type,will be used while defining the material
master.At that time,in Tcode:MM01,first screen we need to
mention,(material type)it show the nature of material
ex:-engineering product,finished products,semifinished
product,etc.,
It also play vital role on material numbering,material type in comination with plant & valuation class, play vital role in inventory & accoputning.
To Create Material,use t. Code: MM01,
Step-1
Enter Material Code: ( example-Polythene Bag, If External Number Range or leave it blnak)
Enter Industry Sector: ...................
Enter Material Type: ..........................(VERP- Packing)
Step-2
Select
Views you required( like eample:basic data-1, like basic data-2,purachsing, purchase order text,General plant data, accounting-1, accounting-2 etc)
Step-3
Enter Plant,
Enter Storage location
{{{Enter Sales organization & Distribution channel(if sales view selected)}}}
Step-4
You will have views like (example-1, basic data, enter Base unit of measure, material group and other details as required field,example-2,Accounting data, enter valuation class, price control; S or V & price)
Step-5
Save.
Note: Before creation material you must know which Industry Sector, Material Type ur going to use and material numbering is internal or external.

Rohit

Hi Rohit,
You can change the material type in MMAM trxn code if the material dosenot conatain any open purchase requisitions, open reservations & open purchase orders. Also material stock should be zero.
Remember the new material type should have same attributes same as old material type.
OLD Material New Material
1) Standard Price 1) Standard Price
2) Manufacture part 2) Manufacture part
profile actvated profile actvated
3) Quantity & Value 3) Quantity & Value
Updation in all areas Updation in all areas
4) should have same GL 4) Should have same GL acs
acs
It is not possible to change Industry sector once created.
If you want to delete the Material, you can flag it in MM06 trxn code.

Material type for - Diesel

Hi Friends,
My Client is Construction Equipment leasing company.
They lease (Say Generator ) on lease, they also sell Diesel along with that machine.
For Diesel, which material type we use?? I thought of using (HIBE - Operating Supplies) but it doesnt have Sales View {other option - i can configure copy of HIBE with Sales View} .
Any other material type we can use for Diesel.
Regards,
Jackie

you can create own material types or change SAP given material types to your local needs.
if you want sales views for HIBE, then add it.
if you dont produce Diesel, just buy and sell, then it is usually a trading good HAWA.

Change material Type - 'MMA'

I am trying to Change Material Type using T-code - 'MMAM'.But Message is coming PO already exist.
Problem is tat we have already created GIN for the PO & Reversed the GIN also,but still PO is not getting release to Change any data.It is giving error,that GIN already exist.
I want to Change the MAterial Type.How can i do that.??
Viru.

Please note that both the new material type and the old material type must have the
same characteristics eg. quantity based material management is one of
the characteristic. The R/3 Online Help provides a very good explanation
on all the pre-requisites before you can change a material type.
(Logistics Gen>Logistics Basic Data > LO Managing Material Master Data >
Material Master Record > Material Type > Change Material Type)
Please check if you have set the deletion flag for any PO's as
these need to be physically deleted for MMAM to work. You will also
need to check if there are ANY open items for this order. The purchase
orders need to be ARCHIVED. You should complete the invoice receipt for
this position BEFORE you set the deletion flag in the purchase order.
Also, if the material is already in stock, or if reservations or
purchasing documents exist for it, the following conditions must also be
met:
>The stock values of the material of the new material type must be
updated in the same G/L account as the stock values of the material of
the old material type.
>Quantities and values of the material of the new material type must be
updated in exactly the same way in all plants as quantities and values
of the material of the old material type.
>If there is a transfer requirement for the material and if quantities
of the material exist, the new material type must also allow the
material data to be maintained from the Warehouse Management view.

Update material type by bapi

Hi all,
I am working on LSMW by BAPI method. i want to update the Material Type of a given material.So, I have gone to MM01 then I copy that material but in BAPI I do not find any structure related to Refrence Material No. Field. Kindly tell me the structure regarding this Refrence Material No. field.
Sulabh

I doupt that you can change the material type, as it cannot be changed in the standard transaction MM02, and not in the MM17 mass maintenance transaction (which uses BAPI method).
A material type is usally changed with an extra transaction: MMAM as it has to perform a couple extra checks that are not needed in a standard maintenance.

Restricting the material types in MM01

Dear experts,
Our client is using few materila types like-HIBE,NLAG,ROH
We have upgraded from 4.6B to ECC6. Now many other material types have come .
While creating material in MM01,selecting the required material type among the many is inconvient.
1)One way of removing the unnecessary mat types is deleting others in OMS2,
The other way of restricting is --
2) I can enter the authorisation group in OMS2 for the required material types and i can assign to M_MATE_MAR object in the required role, but it is not working
Do i need to create authorisation group in any customisation for entering in the OMS2, because what i entered in OMS2 is not displaying in PFCG of the authorisation object under authorisation group.I have checked in SM30 also ,the same authorisation groups under T134 table are updated. Even though,mat types are not restricted in MM01 under material type field.
Please suggest any other way of restricting the display of material types in Material type field of MM01 instead of deleting unwanted the material types in OMS2 transaction
Regards,
Dayanand

You can use the material type specific transactionsminstead of MM01, remove the authorizations of MM01 transaction and add the required material type creation transactions
example - Goor Matreials create(special)
HIBE,NLAG,ROH
MMB1                 Create Semifinished Product(HALB)
MMF1                 Create Finished Product(FERT)
MMG1                 Create Returnable Packaging
MMH1                 Create Trading Goods
MMI1                 Create Operating Supplies(HIBE)
MMK1                 Create Configurable Material(KMAT)
MML1                 Create Empties
MMN1                 Create Non-Stock Material
MMP1                 Create Maintenance Assembly
MMR1                 Create Raw Material(ROH)
MMS1                 Create Service
MMU1                 Create Non-Valuated Material
MMV1                 Create Packaging
MMVH                 Create Centrally: Decentral.Shipping
MMW1                 Create Competitor Product

Can description of material type be put in display mode(t.code-OMS2) ?
