Change material code

hi
i have created the material code with internal no. range. but no wi want to change the no of the already created material code to new one
tell me how to do that if it is possible
or else tell me the best possible way out

HI
Is it the material type that u r talking off?
If u have already created a material for a particular material type then u cannot delete it permanently.You can flag it for deletion.
Permanent deletions can be done by MMDE but which is not advisable.
If u want to change from the internal no range to external no range then pls uncheck the box in MMNR and select the desired external no range for the said material type.
If you want to change the existing material type to a different material type then you may go to MMAN and the said material type can be changed.
Hope this helps,
Regards,
Prasanna.
Award pls if helpful

Change material code in process order or delete process order

Hi experts,
While creating a process order in COR1 transaction code, wrong material code was entered.
Can we change the material code in process order. If not, what is the complete procedure to cancel or delete the process order.
Request you to revert.
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Farha.

Dear ,
One the Process Order has been created with any material either it is wrong code or correct code , it can not be deleted .If it wrong code , then do not perfom goods Issue -MIGO-261 or through Backflash and also operation confirmation etc .
If Goods Issue , Confirmation happend then you need to reverse those txn once again .
In that case the best oiption will be goto COR2-Enter the Process Order -Select Process Order from Header -Restrict Processing -Choose Technically Complete .
Now , once you did TECO , then there will not be any farther txanationl posting like Goods Issue , confirmation will not be possible .Likewise , you can also Lock or make set CLOSE from COR2 in case there is no WIP , Variance .
Hope this is clear

USER EXIT PA for change material code

Hi,
I am looking for an user-exit for PA. In some cases, when we create a Post Document we need to change the material code, only in PA, not in FI.
I have been looking for an user-exit to solve this question, but I find nothing. Do you know an user exit?
To implement an usert exit for PA, is it necessary always to use tx KEDR?
Thanku2019s in advance.
Regards.

Hi;
For implementation of User Exit in COPA you need to use KEDR.
My understanding of your Requirement is old Material No Raplacement to New Replacement..
my assumption of your scenario you will create new Table and maintain Old No Against New Material No; from this table user Exit call new material and substituting old No or do you have any other ideas on your requirement?
try one more way
Derivation Rule 1.
use clear Option and Remove Old Material No in COPA documents.
Derivation Rule 2
Use Derivation Rule Option and make Condtions like old No = New material No.

Changing commodity Code for material grp under certain plant

Hi,
I would like to change commodity code for some material group under certain plant
May I know how to do this.
I went to the following SPRO path, however, the table does not mention the plant and the material group for me to change.
SD>Foreign Trade/Customs>Basic Data For Foreign Trade>Define Commodity Code/Import Code Numbres by Country.
Please let me know.
Thank.
Tuff

Hi Tuffy,
The commodity codes are defined by Country, not at Plant-Material group level.
You can find this customising on: SPRO > Materials Management > Purchasing > Foreign Trade/Customs > Basic Data for Foreign Trade > Define Commodity Codes / Import Code Numbers by Country.
I hope this help.
Kind regards,

Changes in material code logic

Dear SAP Gurus,
Since last 4 years we are using alpha neumeric material coding but because of this we are facing lot of problems so we are thinkinking to make material coding numeric only. Is there any way that we can change entire material codes into numeric coding & what about previous records. Or only new code we can make numeric & existing will remain as it is. Please suggest
Jayesh
SAP PP

Before Going to change Think that change is feasible or not
Once the old material code is deleted and archived means , You can't able to get the past reports.
My suggestion Use the same old format for easy understanding ( Alpha numeric means You can easily Identifywhether it is Finished ,Sf, Rm Or spares.)
Or otherwise use the Old material code as itis and create anew material code with Number( check with MM consultant)

Hi,
Commodity codes are define at country code level not on basis of plant or material group
Weather it is one plant or many plants belongs from one company or different companies the commodity code is unique and it define by country legal authorities which are responsible for foreign trade.
You can add commodity code for country and then you individually or by mass change you can change in material master.

Changing a material code.

Hi,
how can I change a material code from one to another one?
Best regards

Hi,
What is your purpose exactly? What do you think of exactly?
As Jürgen wrote you cannot change the code of an existing material master record.
What you can do is to create a new one and you can mark the old one with deletion flag (MM06) (+ block its status e.g.) / archive.
If your (old) material is in use and it is in BOM and you want to change the code because of engineering change you can use ECM to map & control the changes.
If you do not want such an administration you can simply implement the new code as follow-up material (please check MRP 4). In this case you will get rid of the old material master record after a while. When the old one is ramped down you can change the BOM. I think you should consider this alternative!
If your problem is that you want to transfer the stock from one material to another one, you can use MB1B 309 as it was said but I do not recommend it to you because I think this MVT is not for this purpose (you can use MVT 309 e.g. in chemical industry when a material changes after a while and you get a new one). If you decide to do this please take care of the standard price (if you use SP).
You can solve this thing through inventory booking (MVT 701/702). Reduce the stock of the old material and increase the stock of the old one.
(You can use MVT 201/202 for this purpose as well...)
Please tell us the reason of the change maybe you can get more fitting answers.

Data not displayed in Z-table when material code (MATNR) entered in selection screen.

Hi Experts,
I have a Z-table for a gatepass report which was already created by another developer. This table has many fields including plant, year, material code field. (MATNR) etc
Now the problem is in SE11, I run the table to display the entries, when I enter plant and year and execute many entries are displayed.properly including material codes(e.g.50008536).
But when I execute the same entering plant, year and material code(e.g.50008536) then this message is displayed. " No table entries found for specified key"
The same thing happens if I am writing a select query in my report to get the data of any particular material code. My internal table is not filled with the data including that particular material code.
Some more info :
1. The material code field in the Z-table is assigned the standard material code Data element. i.e. MATNR
2. Even if I enter '000000000050008536' as input it is still not working. it is automatically changed to '50008536' after executing.
So please help me where the problem is? I have spent alot of time on this but not able to find the problem..
Thanks,
Vishal .

Hi Vishal,
Hope I understand that table content does not starts with zero for material, reply me if i am wrong.
Use this code before where condition.
loop at so_matnr.
CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_OUTPUT'
   EXPORTING
     INPUT         = so_matnr-low
IMPORTING
    OUTPUT        = so_matnr-low.
if so_matnr-high is NOT INITIAL.
CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_OUTPUT'
   EXPORTING
     INPUT         = so_matnr-high
IMPORTING
    OUTPUT        = so_matnr-high.
endif.
MODIFY so_matnr.
endloop.
if table content is filled with zero use FM conversion_exit_alpha_input

Material code is not coming in MF60

Hi Experts,
I am facing a problem, I have released a production order for 40 nos of X fg. X Fg is having a child item i.e. A Qty 1 in one X. but when I see mmbe of A. 50 Nos is showing in recpt reservation tab. Probably this the reason, the material code A is not coming in MF60. But I have checked in MB25 and MB26 there is no reservation is pending.
I want to know, why material code A is not coming in the MF60. When I change the quantity of X to 60, then in mf60, requriement of A 10 nos is coming.
Kindly throw some light.
Regards
GR

Dear G R,
Check whether the stock of material A is sufficient so as to make X in that particular production storage
location in which it's required to produce X.
Also under global settings--->check box for include all requirements give an impact in the output of
MF60.
Also check whether is there any Recpt.Reservation for A in MB25.
Check and revert back.

No link between PR material and PO Material code.

Dear Gurus
My industry is textile industry , here issue is that when MRP run it is giving auto PR based on BOM , but when purchase department is received PR , they start analyzing material the material requirement , they check in stock any raw fabric is there or not , if available they send that raw fabric for subcontracting (for dying) then after dying sent for other different operations, and then required material as per PR is ready......
Now my problem is how to link this auto material PR to different subcontracting PO... because management need report based on what was the material required and why purchase department is not able to provide it on time. please guide me....
Thanks & Regards,
Akshay

Dear Sir ,
I can not maintain special procurement key as 30 in MRP 2 view as it is not at all conform how material will be procure directly or by subcontracting...
if i do like that in PO manually change ilem catagory L , but the is possibility that to get right material as per PR purchase has to do more that 2 times subcontracting at different vendor ....if this is the case the material code in PR and PO defiantly different.... will SAP support this that PR and PO item is different?
Thanks & Regards,
Akshay

Change material description in MM02

Hi,
System is allowing to change the material description in MM02 from any views.
Requirement is once the material code save, system should allow to change the description of product to user who have authorisation for Basic data 1 and 2 not other views.
Like I am giving Accounting view authorisation to one person, he should not able to change the product description.
Is it possibel and how?
Thanks,
Samir Bhatt

Hi,
Description is part of MARA table. If you give full authorization for General data fields to the persons that maintain basic 1 & 2 and does not give this authorization to the persons that are not allowed to change the description, you will achieve what you want. This will allow the financial people to see the general data fields but they will not be able to change them.

In Purchase Order Line item Maintaining Serial Numbers for Material Codes

Dear Gurus,
We have a business process in legacy system for Purchase Order like in PO line item, Material code with description, Quantity, unit of Measurement, Serial Number Start and Serial Number End is maintained, for example for Material code when we enter the data AXMLN00001 in Serial Number Start column, if the Qty 500 is maintained, by default system will calculate AXMLN00500 in Serial Number End column.
We understand that in standard SAP we donu2019t have this option of maintaining Serial Number Start and End in Purchase order Line item. Please let us know how this can be mapped and is it advisable to create two Z fields in EKPO table or else can we make any development.
Suppose if this is not possible in SAP for PO then in Banks if we want to place a order for Cheque books how we can maintain Start and End Serial Numbers to print in cheque books.
Also client is not agreeing to maintain manually Serial numbers in item text.
regards,
Dhanu

Aamir,
When the PO Item was created say for example Material had Valuation category "Y" and latter you wanted to change the category to "Y". Now system would have check for all open PO's etc...based on this you must have set Deletion Indicator to this Line Item to allow valuation category change in material master. Now when this Item got created in the table level (EKPO), system updates the valuation category "Y". Currently this valuation category is not active so it would not allow you to perform removal of deletion indicator as program cannot automatically nor you have an option to manually update the valuation category to this Item.

How to change material discription at sales order item level ?

Dear Gurus,
We have some requirement need to change material description at sales order item level , but in system it is in disable mode how to change that into change mode in sales order item level?
Thanks in advance
Regards
Venkat

Not possible in SAP Standard.
Instead why not create a Customer Material Info Record in T-Code - VD51?
Alternatively it the requirement to change the Description is only for few Sales Order then create a Text ID & Enter the Description in Text Feild. Then in Smartform program wrie a code which will check for Material Description in the Text first & if not found then take from normal material Description in Sales Order.
But Customer Material info Record seems to be the best solution.
Hope this helps,
Thanks,
